Heroica RPG General Discussion

[Endgame]

A magical diamond ring with the word "Galice" etched into it. 1/6 chance of stunning the targeted enemy on a successful hit/ shield. 1/3 chance versus Proggs. Sent to Galen.

You little sonuvagun.

Sorry I won't be able to update today! Christmas and such.

Hahahaha! They'd be as stunned by the ship as everyone else... Or more so. As she's their Nurse, I'm sure they'll get the joke.

Grogmas has most certainly prevented me from updating today, so take a day to appreciate all the things in the real world, and marvel at how unlike in Heroica, not everything is trying to kill you. Its just lovely. I love the Grogmas event and will be sure to post. Happy holidays to all once more!

Let's all suggest that JimB get a Cloak of the Red Assassin. Then we get CMP to give him the Sword of Ancestral Hatred and watch the enemies fall and the WP soar.

[Zepher]

That's the true Holiday Spirit of giving. Trying to min max another player.

It's all I've ever wanted.

Do unto others as you would have them do to you...

I don't know about giving...

[Brickdoctor]

Work out a deal to get the sword back after it's WP: 94 or so. Assassins don't need WP to kill stuff quickly.

I have the cash- I'd have bought it myself if I could only end up in the right quest.

[JimBee]

OoC: I awkwardly... and I kid you not, JUST figured out why QM's use the > symbol. Super super smart.

What ARE they used for?

[Brickdoctor]

What ARE they used for?

Denoting a hero in the Back Row.

Oh, by the way, can we suggest more than one hero to receive a gift for Grogmas? I thought it sounded like we could only list one, but Zepher listed multiple (serious) suggestions.

[JimBee]

Denoting a hero in the Back Row.

Well I've finally joined the club of knowing what they meant, then. Thanks.

[The_Customizer]

Merry Grogma--- I mean Christmas everyone!

With the Grogmas thing up and running, is it possible to post there even if we are in a quest?

[Sandy]

Looks neat, are the replies to be given in character I assume?

In-character or out-of-character, either one is fine.

I would assume these are in-game gifts?

Of course! I'm not going to buy anyone an Arkham Asylum or a Bag End set, so don't even think about that.

Since these are only suggestions, you may suggest as many presents as you like. I will handpick the best ones and fulfill them.

You don't have to stress yourself by figuring out how to get your character into the Hall. Just post out-of-character if you like.

[Pyrovisionary]

Glad that the idea is being put to use!!

Aw, shucks!

The Bow of Patience sounds really cool, nice idea The_Customiser, it really would be a dream gift for Benji

Just a little idea I came up with, figuring that there aren't any other types of weapons like that in the game (that I know of)

[Rumble Strike]

I worked out the > thing a while ago, but it has taken me until now to realise how useful the Multi-Quote button is!

[Zepher]

More Lucky Die are.. unlikely to exist, but I do like the idea of gifting things that already exist. 75% of chance . It's a nice idea, but about 0 QMs would take you on Quests, because no one wants to do that math. It takes me about 45 minutes to update the current battle, and there is no silly 75% chances in the math right now.

Advice for item creation - dice rolls are nice %'s, since we're already rolling them. So, 1/6, 1/3, 1/2 are all nice things to multiple by, as are 2-6 chances of something happening.

Finally, someone better think of Boomingham this Holiday season. He was more than generous. Good will towards Skrall?! That should be getting him so many nice points with Father Grogmas.

CMP - Summons cost 1 ether every turn they are around, according to the rules, no matter how many times they attack.

[Rumble Strike]

Glad to know it's not just me that finds calculating the battles a huge timesink.

[Endgame]

Keep in mind random.org has a number picker, so you simply set the min-max to 1-4. And if you get a 4... too bad.

Yes, I always set aside 15-30 minutes for each round of a battle.

Oh, yeah. I was thinking of Undead, I thought they were almost identical to elemental summons. Sorry for all the corrections, been way too long since I was in a battle, I'm excited as all hell for more.

That's not quite accurate. Summons cost 1 ether on the turn they attack. They don't expend ether on the rounds they are summoned, dismissed or when they perform a Summon Burst. They also don't expend ether in the rare situations when they do not attack (such as is the case in Quest#50 now).
