Heroica RPG General Discussion

[JimBee]

Do you still need a new pic for Hybros?

No, I don't, thank you anyway.

[Etzel]

How does the Ranger Shield (Triple Shot) work when there less then three targets in the battle? Does all of the arrows goes to the only enemies left or only one of them?

Edit: After some detective work I found it. All arrows are directed to the remaining targets. e.g. if one enemy is left all the arrows and damage will hit it.

[Bricksandparts]

Sandy, it's OK to add a picture to an item that you own that did not have a picture before. For example:

Focal Staff (WP: 5) Focus Fire-Roll a 3 for 5 ether, Suitable for clerics and mages.

[Jebediahs]

Yes. S'y there was no picture to begin with so you can make it up yourself. Good job.

Dude, that looks epic! *makes a mental note to start fiddling with my own collection for cool equipment to contribute*

Hate to be a party pooper, but is battling using the combat systems aloud in the Hall thread? I'm all fine if you two want to roleplay a fight in the hall, but I think it came up before that we want to save formal battles for quests only. If you do decide to fight using the combat system, why not roll a die yourselves and just be honest in your rolls? Afterall you're not going to gain experience, so there isn't really any reason to cheat. Just to let you know Arthur, there are no cleric available at the hall at the moment as all the active ones are on quests to my knowledge so you may be bruised after the fight for quite awhile:wink:

He has a bedroll... restores health and ether. Ok, well would youl like to roll Flipz?

[Brickdoctor]

I think roleplaying fights was also discouraged by Sandy back when the game first started. (what with shuriken-throwing Crusaders, hiding under tables, shooting poisoned arrows into meat and all)

Besides, if you just want to play around with the combat system, (since you won't get any XP or loot anyways) you could just PM each other.

Battle Order:

Hans

Tensi

Hoke

Skrall

Dyric

I've been slowly falling to the end of this list for the duration of the battle, WBD!

I love Wren's appearances, Zepher. Very well thought out and implemented.

I just finished reading Quest 6, and if your current Quest is anything like that one, I can only imagine how awesome it is!

BTW, what DID happen to Cronk while he was locked up? And I don't see Zoot stuff in your inventory, what happened to it?

EDIT: For clarity, by "your" I mean "the quest you are on".

Well Haldor doesn't seem to be hitting squat after you, so I thought maybe if he went first to protect you he might actually hit something

[soccerkid6]

"I am targeting C as his health is low enough for me to kill. With your power and elemental damage, direct your attack to D. That way we have a chance of killing both captains."

That is a better plan but Tesni is a Berserker, so she can't switch targets.

[Peppermint_M]

Only when I targeted them in the last round. However, I misread (posting before my morning Coffee often comes back to haunt me) and B fell, C was already there and D was the new Captain. As I have not battled C just yet I can target D due to a strategic suggestion. Unless declaring a target also has to stick, not just engaging them in battle. Sandy?

[Rumble Strike]

Can I just echo everyone else and say that Etzel's sets are absolutely stunning! I love the castle under seige.

[CorneliusMurdock]

Cronk just had to find an alternate route out of the prison caverns. Zepher ran a side quest in PMs. Unfortunately it's not very easy to copy paste an entire PM thread. Otherwise I'm sure it would have been added to the official quest thread. Cronk did summarize what happened during that time in the Hall when he returned if you want to find it.

If you're talking about Zoot's play thing, it became Zoot's Bane. I had given my weapon away because I didn't think I'd be doing any fighting and Flitwick's character only had one throwing weapon. I had to use the Play Thing right away so Cronk had something to bash evil with.

[Bricksandparts]

Man, this battle is getting really big!

Yeah, but as I read through the last guy the rest of the party fought ALSO dropped a Zoot's Play Thing. What happened to that one? Jess obviously didn't keep it...

[Khorne]

I really like reading all of the character building that's being done. It's great to watch the characters grow. I especially like Haldor's story. He's so the opposite of Eric. Both are Nords, but Haldor doesn't quite appreciate the conservative (violent) Norse culture/habits while Eric understand no other culture or way of life than that of his own people. Unlike Haldor, who fled his homeland to escape the battle-dominated life there, Eric will try anything to be able to return there. I love it !

[TheBoyWonder]

As soon as I am allowed back in the quest (aka when Etzel replies) you shall all see the big reveal. Who I am, Why I joined Heroica, Eventually what happened to Luc, Why all my text is going to be red, and about a dark secret. One that will haunt Leo forever. And one that will play a big part in the character changes of Leo Aragon! Hope you enjoy it!

DarthNihilus, I loved your reveal. So epic. And where I went on Quest 4, that could cause friction between our characters, as I will remain loyal to the Shadeux.

[Tanma]

I think Hybros has a Zoot's Reaper now.

I have never roleplayed before, but I must say that I really enjoy thinking up a backstory for my character, I think I have thought up quite a good one, it is quite epic. Maybe Ill show hints here and there, Also, I enjoy the backstories of the other heroes and the interaction that brings. Keep it up, people!

Thanks!

I also enjoy the contrast between the two characters, and hopefully Eric can have another conversation soon. With Haldor I'm trying to release his story bit by bit, and Haldor's 'guardian angel will react to everyone differently. Depending on who he sees as a possible threat to Haldor. I'm also trying to put accross Darkbane's often wrong idea of who is 'evil', as people like Tesni and De'kra are darker characters.

P.S. I'm interested to see what Tesni's sword is doing to her.

Keep the character building coming people!

I think Hybros has a Zoot's Reaper now.

Indeed, the Play Thing was given to him in return for being trapped for half of The Arena quest.

[Flipz]

I see. Anyone here who's able to clear up the fight with Alf? I'm pretty sure we're both on autopilot right now. :P

That's why nobody's really done it. QMs have to do that, and I doubt one can be found on a moment's notice for something that doesn't really affect anything.
