Heroica RPG General Discussion

Yet another reason why I love Atramor.

[Endgame]

Argh, accursed die -giving out the best items.

Also, TBW, If I ever say Lycan instead of Romulus, feel free to slap me across the face with a dead fish.

[Flipz]

I just find Dastan to have the coolest name, and there's a certain species that Dastan boasts that I'm considering using in Romulus' backstory.

I have to say, I (personally) really dislike the idea of werewolves in Dastan. Why not try Salmanda, that nation has a fair number of were-races already, and it's close enough to Dastan to allow a few of whichever species you're thinking of to migrate to Salmanda. (Though if you're thinking of writing Dragons into Romulus' backstory, I'd advise against it, it'd be a little TOO cliche and would give too many opportunities to revive old Skyrim memes.)

[Palathadric]

To be fair, I think it would make sense that Dyric trained her.

You had to bring that up, didn't you?

I love that, one of the funniest moments in Heroica history.

[TheBoyWonder]

I personally dislike Dragons as an entity. And Salmanda just doesn't seem right.

[JimBee]

I'll agree with what Zepher said. I don't think were-people have to be associated with any one nation or area in particular. Why would they be? And even if they were, they could move to different areas just as easily as anyone else.

Ok, how exactly does the Explosive Staff work?

[CMP]

Ok, how exactly does the Explosive Staff work?

It deals damage to all enemies, and 6 to the user if a 4 is rolled, which means I'll be dealing Badly Poisoned, Paralyzed, and Cursed to all enemies, assuming I land a hit.

And it's only a suicide mission if Atramor dies, he's got a chance...

[Zepher]

In all technicality, it says that it does DAMAGE to all enemies, doesn't hit them all. But I feel like I keep clarifying things to your disadvantage, so I felt a little guilty pointing it out and was just going to let it roll. It's a dangerous plan either way, but you're free to do it if you like.

It's not like we've met any of your other expectations thus far.

As I see it, envenomed weapons of any kind deal their poison effect any time they deal damage to enemies. Thus, an envenomed dual-strike weapon deals venom to all four enemies it hits, the Cat O' Nine Tails, the Banana Bladerang, and the Explosive Staff all deal venom to all enemies. Cursed is the only one I'm not 100% sure about, but I feel that dealing Cursed to all foes is within the spirit of the artifact.

[Zepher]

I know. I think AoE weapons are monstrously unfair in the way they are currently designed (I think they should deal damage but not effects to everyone), but I've been over-ruled on that before, so the way it works is the way you describe.

[CMP]

I figured it would, it's not like I'm casting a spell.

True, but they're also quite rare, and aside from the Banana Bladerang (which has the retrieval issue to work with), they also deal only half damage from the Back Row.

OK, if the QM is warning us not to split the party 3-ways through NPCs, I think we should listen!!!

[CMP]

You're only down one member, I think you'll do fine.

[Flipz]

Relax, we're only losing one person if Atramor fails, plus he can Flee if the situation gets too hopeless. On the other hand, do we really want this thing to have more power? I mean, the Q38 boss was Level 50, how much more than that can we possibly handle??

[Endgame]

The Magic Carp was level 66, and he wasn't that big of a problem.

[Bricksandparts]

Endgame, is this seriously a slender maze?

[Endgame]

I don't know what that is. I've heard of slenderman before, but I haven't looked into it much.

And how does he join back up if he survives & flees? Will Zeph allow him back in & when?

[Flipz]

Probably would have to wait for the next battle...which incidentally means that if all of the rest of us screw up and die, SOMEONE will be around to continue the Quest. (Granted by that point, we're all screwed anyway, but still...)

[Zepher]

Yeah, this isn't a trick... he'd rejoin with the other parties when this bout of battles is over, just like all the other times!

[CMP]

Boomingham swaggers forth and unsheathes his Frozen Saber from its scarab strapped to his back.

He made a scabbard out of that Scarab from Quest 8?

[Zepher]

Damn, I always stare at that word and it always looks wrong. I think that I always misspell it.
