UsernameMDM Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 If you want loot that straddles a very fine line, go on B&P quests. The 'home brew' game mechanics aren't worth it to me. Quote
Flipz Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Seeing as the Quest is pretty much over (though in my opinion it's been "over" for about three months now), I'll just voice my thoughts in the QM Lounge. Quote
Lind Whisperer Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 (Makes a mental note to watch out for future Bricksandparts quests!) If I ever host a quest, the loot drop will probably be(assuming Sandy were to approve it) very "open-world" based. E.g., monsters and bosses drop a moderate amount of gold and potions, with one or two weapons or artifacts(the usual). The real loot though, would be directly based on how diligently you search for it(as in, search and examine everything and everywhere - it will pay off.). Quote

That's actually one of the things I liked the least about 95, actually--that whole sequence where the party had to spend extra time patting down the corpses for loot (amongst other unrewarding things).

Eeww. I meant more in the line of searching dressers, cabinets, etc for loot. Kind of what Lind's doing in #103. Corpses... Eeww. Edited July 30, 2014 by Lind Whisperer Quote

swils Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Uh, I do. No one ever looks in the sock drawer! Quote
UsernameMDM Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Uh, I do. No one ever looks in the sock drawer! I hide it in a pair of tube socks! Quote
Brickdoctor Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 I don't have any socks to necessitate owning a sock drawer. No one sells socks with stat bonuses. Quote
swils Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 The ones they sell up here range from +1 to +5 Insulation. Quite the stat boost at -40 or below. Quote
Sandy Posted July 30, 2014 Author Posted July 30, 2014 I think that the quick-draw quiver should be limited to ranged weapons though, that might balance it out. Although then she will just fight from the back row as well... Quickdraw quiver is only suitable for rangers. Zakura seems to have slipped it out of the item's description. Mizuki can thus use the item only as long as she's an assassin. Sorry that you don't like to see another Lucky Die in the game, but what's done is done. If I understand the rules correctly, then 6645 would be a winning combination since the player passed 4 rounds without 1-3 or a second 4 or 5. If that is the case then the odds are around 1/62 for winning the die. Considering that, winning in 40 games isn't too unreasonable. You didn't understand the rules. Only 6's could win you a round, so the winning combinations would be 6666, 66646, 66656 and 666456 (and their variants). Quote
Flipz Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Actually, given that rolling 4 or 5 more than once ends the game, the only winning combinations are 6666, 46666, 56666, 64666, 65666, 66466, 66566, 66646, or 66656, making the true odds 14/7776, or 1/555.428571429. That's actually much better odds than I expected--but still. Do or do not, there should be no "if you're ridiculously lucky". (Yes, I got it wrong before, I forgot the proper way to deal with probability: choose the number of desired outcomes and set them over the total number of possible outcomes, which in this case is the total number of possibilities for up to five dice rolls which is 6*6*6*6*6.) Quote
Sandy Posted July 30, 2014 Author Posted July 30, 2014 Actually, given that rolling 4 or 5 more than once ends the game, Reading the rules, I thought it meant that rolling 4 twice or 5 twice would end the game. I give up... Quote
Flipz Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Reading the rules, I thought it meant that rolling 4 twice or 5 twice would end the game. I give up... It's OK, I don't think anyone can understand B&P's mechanics. (B&P, you might ought to take that into consideration in the future. ) Quote
UsernameMDM Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) You didn't understand the rules. I don't think anyone does. That's why I stay clear of B&P quests. Edit: Ninja'd! Edited July 30, 2014 by UsernameMDM Quote

Actaeon Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 I just want to apologize ahead of time, the way Actaeon acts is much different than my own behavior. It's just role-play, I swear! Quote
Duvors Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 I just want to apologize ahead of time, the way Actaeon acts is much different than my own behavior. It's just role-play, I swear! What did you do?!?! We all know it's roleplay, go ahead and do it. Quote
Actaeon Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 What did you do?!?! We all know it's roleplay, go ahead and do it. Nothing that bad yet, but Actaeon can be... well we'll see. But still, I just wanted to be clear :P Quote
Flare Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 I don't think anyone does. That's why I stay clear of B&P quests. Edit: Ninja'd! Yeah I don't think that anyone does actually (No offense intended B&P) Quote
Flipz Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 I take back everything positive I've ever said about or in defense of Assassins. Quote
StickFig Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Heroica isn't about hitting things until they're dead, Wait, did the rules change, or have I been doing it wrong the whole time?! Dang, I was going to [insert action here], but I didn't comment in time :( It happens to me on a daily basis. That's part of the interesting-ness of Heroica: you never know what order things will happen in or who might post next. Quote
Duvors Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 I take back everything positive I've ever said about or in defense of Assassins. Can you please explain that? Quote
