Um... all the life things? I'm fixing on doing something creative today, in between chores, errands, and taking care of the boys.

Subject: Caught up!


Spent a little time this evening catching up with the Fortune's Favoured. I'm still in love with little Calopee Kindric, and I'd be excited to see where things lead onto with the bold and blunderous beguilers. My schedule is actually pretty open at nights too, so I'm good to go.

Let's do this thing!

Hey guys. Thought I'd throw up a shameless plug about a project I've been working on. It's a blog/journal style recount of the zombie apocalypse, as seen through the eyes of myself and some friends of mine.

Let me know what you think!

Yeah. So I failed this week, and didn't have a lot to add. Perhaps I will just follow Mal on his quest for information? Get back behind the wheel this weekend.

"On the other hand, we have little in the way of prospects. We've no contacts, moderate skill, only one lead, minimal reputation, and that only locally. Lucrative jobs don't just roll down from the mountains."

Moderate skill, she scoffed. Surely Tristan was speaking on the behalf of his other guild-mates. Calopee had a very refined set of skills. Running away from certain death was king amongst them. He wasn't wrong about their prospects, or their narrow walk of fame, but it still wasn't worth walking headstrong into the wrong kind of fray.

"That one lead though. This Jaron apparently leads a number of men. His influence may perhaps be felt in a number of villages and towns nearby, and if he leads a crew of bandits, he is certain to possess some sort of fortune. A fortune I'd favor more if it were ours. Clearing out a bandit lord, why, that's just the sort of reputation boost a group like ours desperately needs. And as for this 'death glare' I spoke of... Remember how very reliable the good townsfolk were when informing us of those sand-dwelling followers of Sartyria? No, I don't think stray rumors around this particular town should be so quick to scare us off of such a grand opportunity."

The little thief's eyes lingered upon the favoured ones lips as he made mention of fortune. There was something so irresistible about the thought of gold laden chests, hers for the taking. Theirs, she sneered ruefully, as though sharing were a sinful thought.

He was right to discredit the village rumour mill, though, there was a definitive difference between mistaking one bandit for another, and mistaking a death glare for the heebie jeebies. It would be a disastrous turn of events if they found the legend to be true to the tale.

So long as he wasn't catching her eye with his glare, she interjected, if only in her mind.

Tristan had hit it right on the nose, though, even if he didn't know it.

There was bound to be a well established network of bandits that stretched across his territory. Surely they could handle the outlying tendrils of such an organization. They could gather information; supplies. Lure this Jaron out as he becomes ever more frustrated. Fight him on their terms. Mindful of this, she looked to her comrades, and suggested exactly that.

Topic: Damage Types
Subject: Whips.


Depending on your ruleset, a whip already has been defined as a melee weapon, with 15ft reach. It provokes attacks of opportunity like a ranged weapon. You literally are just adding your energy damage to a standard melee attack. No ranged touch attack, that would be cool and all, but you actually DON'T deal damage to a creature with armor on. The energy would, but the whip does not. It's a niche weapon. For instance, you can use weapon finesse to apply your dexterity to the attack roll instead of your strength.

I'd have to do more research to find out whether or not the magical enhancement would override the damage penalty to armour or not. But there you have it, my understanding of the rules.

This is where you need to look.
It explains it better than I can.

To save you looking, if the creature is plain jane, with no ECL (Effective Character Level), then his CR will be Level -2(for NPC levels), Level -1(for PC levels).

When a creature has HD, or ECL attached to it, and you are getting into the higher levels, you need to adhere to the concept of Associated class levels, and nonassociated class levels.

It's all there. It's chapter 3, under Advance Monster Challenge Rating. Hope this helps.

Topic: Challenge Rating
Subject: Threat.


The CR level of a single creature is actually in the monster manual. And it speaks about the CR of a character that has either npc levels, or character levels. I believe the general rule is CR= Level -1... You'll just need to look it up in the back of the monster manual... I do believe. It's been awhile.

Technically it should answer both questions.

Do you mean the threat of a single PC, or do you mean creating a challenge for a single PC?

"Goats." She Muttered, "I. Hate. Goats."

The grimace that replaced what would normally be a serene little smile didn't last long. As the halfling lass drew her eyes away from an exchange with the most dreadful of beast, to a most wondrous site, her lips perked up in an uncontrollable manner. Isaiah was keeping true to his word, and was heading their way now. Argos threw open the door and began blustering at the others, as she fairly ducked underfoot and down the stairs towards the common room of the establishment to meet their semi satisfied customer.

As the old farmer passed out the sacks of gold, Calopee was first in line, eager hands ready to cup the bag. Her eyes nearly shined with tears, such was her greed. A smile beamed across her face, and she quickly retreated to count her well gotten gains. 100 shiny pieces of gold. She could eat them they looked so tasty! When Relos refused to take his share, she almost considered sequestering it, but a look in Relos' eyes had her think better of it. Something was amiss with the fortune's finest, and she had yet to place her finger on it.

Tristan, in a bout of lunacy, shelled out an absurd number of coins to the boisterous proprietor. His gleeful grin made the holy man look a fool. That, or the covetous halfling really couldn't get over the uncalled for tip to a man that pours musty ale for a living. Still, breakfast did sound very good. She climbed up and sat on the counter beside her Discq-beloved counterpart, and awaited her breakfast."No poison for me this early, Argos. Some of those noisy bird eggs will suit me just fine."

After listening to Tristan's tale of Jaron, and his recommendations for their departure, her pride flared up a little. She'd taken care of herself just fine out in that wheatfield. Though, a slight tenderness in her ribs reminded her that if not for Tristan's intervention, things could have gone much worse. Perhaps he wasn't eager to revisit his last encounter on death's doorstep, which was an admirable goal. Instead, Calopee had another idea about where they should focus their efforts. "Risk versus reward, right?"

She looked around to see how the others reacted to this, and then carried on. "He's not wrong. I mean... I did take down four of them," she smirked a bit as she reintegrated her prolific contributions, "but it wasn't without help." she backtracked. "We almost lost Tristan, and, as he said, these were common thugs. I say we carry on, and let things settle down a bit here. Perhaps we can find ourselves some more lucrative jobs, see if we can expand our good name... and, you know, work on that whole group dynamic?"

Busy as I may be, I've still got enough time for you. Perhaps not an awful lot of inspiration currently, but I think momentum would improve that greatly. If the others are all still on board, I'd like to see how the adventures of Calopee Kindric unfold. Haha. Erm... I mean "Fortune's Favoured" but of course.

Hello my fellow innmates.

A friend and I have begun to write on the experiences we have whilst playing the game of airsoft. For those of you that don't know, it's similar to paintball, but is able to utilize more or the tactical gear that is used in everyday fields. In any case, if anyone is interested in our little story time, I'll place a link down below. My friend goes by the name Ursaactual. Mine is Airelemental (Philosopher was taken).

Subject: I shall say adieu!


Cautious eyes and keen ears marked the various transactions between the Fortune's Favoured and the locals. Sehanine was spinning her web of lies, or so Calopee inferred. She could not imagine a society that thought of her as a sagely creature, such was her whimsy. She'd seen her fair share of trickery and blatant shenanigans since their crossing of paths, and that obsession with the chosen, Tristan, it could possibly make for a rift in their party's solidarity. Of course, if Mal kept given away their spoils, that could lead to harsh words, and by words she meant sticks and stones... Stones mostly. It looked as though this day would be a wash, what with Sehanine following the mob to 'justice', and Mal offering his services toward training the villagers in the art of fencing, and loud-mouthery. With that in mind, it would be an excellent time to head back to the inn, and polish out a new skiprock, perhaps two if she could manage it. It was incredibly time consuming, getting the proper plane and coat. Entirely worth it though. Those precious stones.

"March on with the militia if you'd like, Seha. I'm going to make my way back to the hall if there's nothing more." Turning to meet the farmer's eyes, eyes that were ever focused on appraising the ruins of his shed, the little halfling girl mustered up an impressive throat rattle to draw his focus downwards. Eyes slightly sharpening, she gave her best warning glare and finished off her thoughts with, "I look forward to seeing you tomorrow!" The slightest of smiles polished off the perhaps not so veiled intimation of threat, against all ye who would skirt out of a monetary transaction with her.

She turned on her heels and made her way back out towards the road.
