"Silent Storm" OOC

They may not be noticing this thread.

As for Silent Storm.  It's a 3D turnbased tactical WW2 combat game.  What's really cool about it is that the game's engineallows for totally destructible terrain. You control a squad of soldiers doing varius missions and you can blow the mission areas to bit.  Buttets can also penetrate obsticals so you can shoot stuff that you don't have a clear shot on.

Well, this isn't a very creative idea I suppose but can I just use my Aasimar Fighter from that other game?  He's almost ECL six.

The site isn't emailing me when I get a new PM so I only noticed just now that you had sent me three of them. :/

I really like the first concept you suggested be the way. It looks like it would be a hell of allot of fun to play.  So please disregard that last post!

Alright.  I'll start working on my character.  I sent you a PM with some questions I need answered though.

Don't worry about me powergaming.  I have a severe aversion to negative modifiers which keeps me from min maxing any of my point buy characters.  Also, I suck at it and don't find it much fun.

2 handed swords always make me think powergamer

Wouldn't that be a 2-handed flail (sorry Dunamin ) or a spiked chain? 

Anyway... BS, did you see my PMs yet?

I really like whips, though it might just be because my first character in a PbP game was a fighter who used a whip and sap exclusively and still managed to kick ass with startling regularity.

Just to be clear, the ECL of the game is 6 right? Also, I probably should have asked this in PMs but I forgot: You suggested my character using specific weapons, but didn't suggest a class or any other real mechanichs. I liked the idea, but what do I put on the character sheet?

Also, does a creature hit die count towards the ability increase every four levels? I know that if a creature's hit die is a multiple of four then the increase is said to be part of the racial adjustment, but what if it's not? What about the extra levels?

So... should I write a character history or are we amnesiacs? I don't know anything about my character's race besides mechanics so...

Hm, for some reason I can't edit that post. I think it must be too old or something.

What should we discuss though?  My character has high dex, int, and cha.  Since he can breath water he usualy helps in combat by sabotaging the enemy ship from beneath.  He's quite stealthy, but his primary skills are in negociation.  His primary weapon is a pistol that's been enchanted to be able to fire underwater, he also uses a masterwork rapier when forced into close combat, which he avoids as much as mermanly possible. He's also got a ring of sustenance.

So should I make a post in the IC thread?

A Githyanki that doesn't kill?  Isn't that an oxymoron or something? :P  Well I'd really like to see that character in action.

Hey BS, were there  anynotable NPCs on the ship besides the captain?

What is a Kenku anyway?

Ah, I thought I had posted it, but the post disappeared... Kenku are a race of crow-ish humanoids, who tend to be mean pranksters and thugs. More info can be found in Monster Manual III, regarding the rules adopted, and there's also info at enworld and wikipedia.

Oh my, a githyanki, a merfolk, a kenku and a gnome embarked a ship... Just another crazy party

 Never played with a kenku, but aren't they considered to be untrustworthy, tricky, treacherous, greasy...? Oh well, fits perfectly for this type of campaign... You wanted a swashbuckling game, BS, something like Pirates of the Caribean, so do you remember the part when nobody couldn't trust to nobody (you know, Jack being always on Jack's side...)? With a kenku and a "gnome dubious persona" (ehm), this game will be crazy

BS, do you really insist on the point-buy system? I know it's fair and all, but after some time, I got tired from characters having almost the same stats every time... If you want, just roll the dice for me, six times 4d6, hehe.

 A bit off-topic, this new design of the forum keeps troubling me. For example, I'm still unable to use emoticons... And you know how I love emoticons!!!!!!!! Grrr........

 EDIT: Oh well. When I try to add emoticons from the panel next to the Font size, nothing happens. When I write them in the traditional way, they will change automatically. The new forum design is still confusing to me.

Although it would give me some trouble to transfer my charsheet, I would like to let you guys know that this exists and that we could use it.

More like a Terrabyte! Computer technology joke lolz!

Serieously though, I'd like to do anything I can to speed the start of this game up.  I'm getting impatient.

Also, I really like the idea of playing a character that is at home in an environment that puts most others at a severe disadvantage.  I can totally be a hero!  Saving the plate armored fighter who fell over board and stuff!  That, and I can drag enemies down into my element to do with as I wish!  MWAHAHAHA HAHA  HAHAHAHAHAAAA!! HA!! 

I like the description, but who is "you"? Well, I'd suppose it is the Cap'n, so I also posted my status. Of course, the Kenku's been bluffing from the start, he's obviously pretending he's dazed and he pretended to have been beaten up. He seems to be lain, but he's actually setting up traps and stashing the stuff he pick-pocketted while "he was being beaten up".

Well, I am sorry, but it seems you have low sense motive, DM... 

The thing on "you" is just because I am used to using number designators, which are compulsory in Portuguese, and this makes me forget or maybe get confused sometimes, when people use you to refer as the plural "you", not the singular one.
