Heroica RPG General Discussion

[Cutcobra]

Quest #85 would be much better if Guts was there and Saladdin used the move Lifestealer on him.

[Scorpiox]

Sandy, did you intentionally base Salladin on the historical figure, Saladin?

[Kintobor]

Anyone looking for Bonaparte rep? The quest I'm planning's got some in it.

[Cutcobra]

Not really, but I'm still signing up for it. :default:

So. What's the axe on #77 worth on the open market?

Axe of the Minotaur Champion

(WP: 40; user is

Slowed

and

Immune to Hastened

; cannot be equipped at the same time as a shield; axe) —

This axe of bronze and the heavy wood of wyrshro trees from the forests of Kyyyshak can only barely be wielded even with two hands.

My instinct is it's much more than 120 gold, but everyone else in the party is passing it over in favour of the gold.

I worry I'm stiffing someone on the distribution, either whoever ends with the axe or everyone else.

Or am I worried over nothing since no-one is complaining?

We've never been in more desperate need of a shuriken-throwing Crusader.

[Kintobor]

What exactly is the South Tower? Has it ever been used in a quest? I'm trying to figure somethings out and was looking for locations.

[Endgame]

Question about Slowness granting weapons; do they only apply when they are in use? Because, theoritically, couldn't someone use it one turn, switch it out, and then attack with another weapon?

Quest 53. Atramor may or may not have let an NPC die up there while he climbed down it.

[Zepher]

I think I described it as an old lighthouse that is no longer used. Go read a bit of 53, it's a fun read (for some people).

I'm so excited to start killing off big NPCs again. It's coming folks, don't you worry!

I suppose you could but it wouldn't make sense because to do so you would use a turn to switch weapons and unless you had hastened you would use a turn for nothing (as you would with the heavy weapon) and if you did have hastened (assuming you can) you would be able to attack once per round anyways.

I think switching weapons does not cost a turn, switching artifacts does.

[Waterbrick Down]

Switching weapons doesn't take a turn, but generally slow inducing weapons make the user slowed on their next turn.

[Brickdoctor]

Right. If you use a Slowing weapon, you basically lose the next Turn.

[Flipz]

Exactly. On a player, a permanent Slowed effect on a weapon is basically "after attack, apply condition(player.stun, t=1)".

Erm, I mean, "after attack, apply Stunned-effect for one turn".

(I may have taken up writing pseudocode as if Heroica were a computer-run RPG for purposes of a gag and/or in-joke. )

I think switching weapons does not cost a turn, switching artifacts does.

Even though it doesn't cost a turn's action to switch a weapon, slowed-effect prevents you from doing anything on every other turn, much like the stunned-effect. That's why you can't switch out that kind of a weapon until the third turn.

Sandy, did you intentionally base Salladin on the historical figure, Saladin?

Saladin+Aladdin=Saladdin

You should know I love making references like this by now.

[Kintobor]

Is this Saladdin's father played by John Rhys-Davies?

(I hope someone gets this reference. )

[Scubacarrot]

So. What's the axe on #77 worth on the open market?

You could sell it to the Marketplace for 200 gold, so at least that. In practice, I doubt many people would want (to use) this item though, so 200 gold might be an accurate guess.

Except that Saladdin is the king of theives, unless he inherited the title from his father Cassim.

Given the damage output is slightly lower than a WP 20 weapon, but the potential for receiving damage is also reduced since there are less attacks. I think 200 gold would probably be a fair sum.

[Waterbrick Down]

It should be noted that a quick purchase of the winged sandals would do away with the axe's negative aspects.

[PsyKater]

Psh...

[JimBee]

It should be noted that a quick purchase of the winged sandals would do away with the axe's negative aspects.

As it did for your Lion Sword from a while back. Except this time the WP is doubled. Seeing just a little bit of power creep here.

Even more so since no one seems to want the axe.

[Palathadric]

You've got to be kidding me!

Well...I guess not everyone has a weapon like Lifestealer.

I would almost venture to say that the axe is ridiculously overpowered, and should be shifted down to WP: 20, but...

[Zepher]

I can't use it. Buyers, flock to me. And if no one's interested, I can always melt it down and get some gold out of it.

[Pyrovisionary]

Maybe......
