Heroica RPG General Discussion

[Sandy]

I was looking through the Marketplace comparing prices for various stats, and I noticed, who would ever buy the Viking Helmet when the Peasant's Hood provides the exact same effect in the exact same artifact category for 10 Gold less? (and I realize that that was an artifact that got bought from a hero - why'd Fabian make such a decision?)

Yeah, I know it's unlikely that anyone will ever buy the helmet, but players have done crazy things for the sake of roleplaying before.

Hands-down, best Quest banner yet.

I totally agree. Although the backgrounds in most of my banners are hand-drawn.

Exactly, up until that point no one had done a full "were-" i.e. changing anything so I utilized the prefix "were" to refer to any beast/humanoid individual. Also I believe there was a were-panther mentioned in that same quest as Scaro, is he a "were-" as in a changing individual or just an anthropamorphic panther?

Scaro (the werehyena) and Nemeshtar (the werepanther) are anthropomorphic animals, whereas the werewolves in Wolfgang are originally humans with the exception of Ulric. Let's just say that only the werewolves have learned how to "infect" other races with lycanthropy. All the other "weres" are pureblood.

Yeah, roleplay. Why Cronk bought the Paladin Armor instead of the Heavy Armor. I really wanted that extra 1 SP but knew that Cronk would want to buy the shiny armor instead.

I know we moved all our stats out of our signature but it would be very helpful to at least have your charter name and class still in signature. Fir example if I don't know someone's class but want to consider them for a team, it's inconvienient to have to go search for the stats just to see what class the character is. I'd rather be able to look quickly in the post I'm replying to so I can decide immediately.

Maybe I'll buy it, just for the sake of owning my own item I created.

Good point. We should probably keep the class and level in our signature.

A reasonable request, I'll add in my class.

Also, it's nice to know you keep your GP even if you exit the unlimited quest and come back later; I thought they would be erased if you left, but that would be kind of harsh.

[Masked Builder]

Well Zepher, we're back! (How long 'till you can post the thread? No rush really though.) I'm anxious to start, I'm really happy to be on a Wren quest finally!

Whoa, I didn't realize that.

Wow! Imagine the number of battles a team will have to do in a row in order to buy the Pitchfork of Domination? Of course, the less you leave the fewer battles you will have to do though.

Oh, about an hour only, actually. I'm pretty much ready to go. First half of the pictures are taken, now I'm just editing some, and we'll be on our way.

[Jebediahs]

@DD: Do you know how far your current team plans to go in the Field? I'm interesting in reading about a team going on at least a scouting mission to one of the Threshold monsters.

Probably not that far this time. We are in quest 44 next month.

[Flipz]

Zeph, I'd be happy to do a banner for Quest 38, provided someone can get me a clean, blank version of the "Heroica" logo.

[JimBee]

Hands-down, best Quest banner yet.

Not sure if this is obvious/supposed to be this way, but it reminds me of the opening sequence for Breaking Bad.

EDIT:

[Waterbrick Down]

Loot distribution is different, tearing a door off is something I want people to be sure of, what if your whole roleplay revolves around a respect for doors? I'd just have ruined your whole character!

Technically Skrall punched the door in, so as to flatten anyone that was standing behind it, but that doesn't matter now.

I wrote the bit after you posted.

I don't know if this has been brought up or answered before, but is it possible to imbue a weapon with the same gem twice?

[Scubacarrot]

Would that not just be a waste of a gem?

[CMP]

Not at all. An Opal and a Ruby in the same weapon causes x4 damage to Beasts. If the person had another Ruby imbued in it, that'd be x8 to Beasts. Gems aren't common, but I'd like to know if it's possible just in case.

I'd say no.

[CMP]

I'd say no.

Still worth a shot asking.

That doesn't seem logical to me. A gem focuses a certain elemental power, the gem doesn't create the power. So size of the gem doesn't matter and thus having two of the same wouldn't matter.

[Scubacarrot]

Still worth a shot asking.

I'm just saying, you could wait for Elphaba to arrive, and get a weapon that oneshots basically everything, if you have a bit of gold.

[CMP]

If by 'bit of gold' you mean 'rich as Hybros'. But yeah, you and darkdragon do have a point. Back to the Elemental table of Doom, then.

I was kind of lazy when I cut this out of one of Sandy's title cards ( ), so the edges aren't perfect, especially around the 'RPG', but once you apply a white glow to the text, it'll look fine.

The sign-up time for the Unlimited Quest has been pulled forward to the day after tomorrow.

I'll one-up you and post the logo I use myself. It's only slightly better than yours, though. I should probably redo it one day...

Elemental gems don't stack anymore than effects do. Stop trying to find loopholes from the system!
