The Chosen Minifigure Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Right, thanks - I'll edit those right away. Behold, my new character design - finally, in real-life plastic. Still working on his speech mannerisms... The hell? Quote
Lind Whisperer Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 I was going to comment that you need to have completed 10 quests or hosted 5 to create a new character, but apparently Lind's cards contained a "Curse! Change Race" card. Get it? Because he's a Munchkin, and that's one of the cards you can get in the game "Munchkin". Yeah. That's not how it works. Highlight the text in his description and his sign-up - Lind's still very much the Human Munchkin he's ever been - they're fake elf ears. Which would have worked a bit better if I could get my hands on a Trickster's Mask of the Elf, but until then, Lind's just wearing comically bad fake elf ears.I decided to take a new spin on the Assassin idea. Everyone's always playing ninja-style Assassins that dress in a very non-disguising fashion, so I thought I'd try playing an Assassin that does wear disguises. You expect the dark figure in a gi to stab you with their katana, but you don't expect the, eh, flamboyant elf magician to suddenly slice off your arm with one of the playing cards he's been doing tricks with.

Kintobor Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 (edited) Yeah. That's not how it works. I doubt Lind actually changed his race. There's only one fantasy race in this game I can think of that can do that, and that's Changelings, but they don't really count since they don't actually change their race, just their appearance. Also, they're unplayable as a PC race, so yeah. The only race that I know of that changes into/turns you from one race to another is Dragonborn, and that's D&D and has no Heroica equivalent.

swils Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Just beware of the possibility of losing some of that text formatting if/when it gets copied from the page instead of the editor. And beware of trying to use your new "elf" appearance to benefit from, say, that shield that shares defenses with elves. *shakes head* Quote
Asphalt Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Jimmy Christmas, I take one afternoon off and this is what happens. Quote

Trying to benefit from a shield that shares defenses with elves? Fully outside the rules.Using my appearance to slip into a quest aimed towards elves? ...Well, if it looks like an elf, it talks vaguely like an elf, and it dresses...sort of like an elf... Jimmy Christmas, I take one afternoon off and this is what happens. I wasn't planning on the "flamboyancy," originally, but then I remembered I had that torso, and it just seemed to fit. Quote
K-Nut Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Jimmy Christmas, I take one afternoon off and this is what happens. It's not that you took off, it's that Lind came back. Quote
Zepher Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 I personally think it's a hilarious character choice. Quote
swils Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 I personally think it's a hilarious character choice. I don't particularly have a problem with it, especially if he's dedicated to the idea of it being a really, really bad, as he said, comically bad, costume. If it gets roleplayed beyond "Well, maybe in the dark he could pass for an elf", then I'd say that it's beginning to step on the toes of the disguise-mask artifacts. Things like that exist for a reason. Quote
Zepher Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 I'd say that's up for different NPCs and QMs to decide. Didn't someone once pose as Bonapartes? I think I got a kick out of that too. I don't think elves would be tricked, but it'd be hilarious if a kid was pulled into the ruse, or if someone played along and screwed him over later on, or anything. Why not! We've got lots of characters with weird traits that everyone responds to differently. Quote
swils Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 /shrug, maybe I'm just being a stick in the mud, but I just think it's selfish to take something that is pretty unique to a set of artifacts, and then go ahead and make it your own free trait. Like, if you want to RP that you're a man of many faces, then go through the effort to actually acquire those faces. It's akin to having an exdragoon's dragon do something for them when they don't actually have a dragon according to the rules. Ultimately though, yes, I suppose it is up to individual QM's. Quote

I am trying to get my hands on a Trickster's Mask of the Elf, but the person I PM'd hasn't responded yet, and in case neither Warlen, Annie, or myself are high enough to be selected for #135, I didn't want to have to wait until July 17th for a quest...(Yes, I do know that #136 closes prior to #135, but with the extreme level disparities in the current signees, I'm assuming in the possibility of the deadline being extended. And, even if it isn't, that's still 150 gold that Lind could very much use...) Quote
Kintobor Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 If you PM'd me, I haven't gotten it. Oh, and I do own one, and I'm not selling it. Quote
swils Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 So what you're saying, just as I'm reading it, is that you purposely sidestepped a mechanic (character race) in order to better your chances at getting into a quest, because you're impatient? You really should have just left it at "I'm playing a disguise-based character because I think it's a fun twist." Lol Quote
Lind Whisperer Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 If you PM'd me, I haven't gotten it. Oh, and I do own one, and I'm not selling it. No, I was PMing Flipz about renting his/paying for it after the quest was over, since he's selling off his gear. The only other two people that have them(you and Thormanil) are off on quests.I'm thinking about having Lind equip his Trickster's Mask of the Human, and if anyone tells the guy claiming to be an elf that he doesn't look like an elf, "of course I don't, I'm disguised as a human". You really should have just left it at "I'm playing a disguise-based character because I think it's a fun twist." Lol I am.So what you're saying, just as I'm reading it, is that you purposely sidestepped a mechanic (character race) in order to better your chances at getting into a quest, because you're impatient? I'm fine with waiting until the 17th if I have to. Lind is trying to disguise himself to get into #135 - it's the sort of thing he does, as a Munchkin.Also, I'm particularly interested in #135 because I'm seeing all the potential chances for some hilarious RP, with a character that is very clearly not an elf, trying to blend in as an elf...

Kintobor Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 I do hope these Lannisters pay back their debts. And don't have an incestuous scandal going on. Quote
Palathadric Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 I do hope these Lannisters pay back their debts. And don't have an incestuous scandal going on. Yeah, they've owed me since, like, before the beginning. Quote

Cutcobra Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 You expect the dark figure in a gi to stab you with their katana, but you don't expect the, eh, flamboyant elf magician to suddenly slice off your arm with one of the playing cards he's been doing tricks with. Replace elf with human and you've got yourself a Heckz. I'm sure Flynn Flisperer and Heckz will get along quite nicely. Quote
Kintobor Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Quest #138: Fade To Black Quest Master: Endgame Party Requirements: Vorpalis is likely called "The Ancestral Oppressor" for good reason.

CMP Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Sex heroes? So you're looking for harlots? Naturally the plan is to seduce ancient vorpal dragon guy. Quote
Sandy Posted June 14, 2015 Author Posted June 14, 2015 Sex heroes? So you're looking for harlots? Haha, I just copied and pasted the text from Endgame's PM, I swear! Quote
Endgame Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Actually, I do have a drop that can make a hero rather sexy. Also, Sandy, if you can undo my stupidity. Quote
