AMIA ARCHIVE • View topic

Well, here's an idea to it (which I was dealing with as guildmaster on different server)... what if I put this in my description and I am not a member? Do those people have anything to really prove, that they are members? Or would there be some skill required on my part to do such a thing?

I don't know if there's any official ruling on that, but I imagine if your character were indeed flaunting the insignia of the War Knights or the Doomguides, what have you, you could impersonate a member of that faction. Further inquiries to your character's identity would eventually blow her cover, but it would be a buzzkill to disallow such roleplay.

Are you required to make a request before making a halfling of a recognized clan in Bendir Dale?

I'm referring to this post: viewtopic.php?f=67&t=81650&hilit=clans+and+elders+bendir+dale

If I wanted to make say... a Greenspan, that's been away adventuring and just came home, do I need to make a request?

I would say do it just to be on the safe side, since you're inserting yourself into a fmaily of entirely NPCs, that might imply things on an RP level.

Anyone know a roundabout number of how many Mulhorandi refugees there actually are in Kohlingen?

I have a bit of a "Standby" request on hold that I am not sure what to do with.

I have been holding off on Lyraesel's last level because I wanted a scripted thing for her, but I have no clue what would be accepted mechanically (Feat or spell) for my purpose. Do DMs talk about scripted requests at all if the scripting is put on hold? I am just mostly interested in finding out if what I am requesting would be accepted and in what form(so that I can take my last level and select things appropriately, regardless of the wait time until scripting opens again).

Scripting is basically on hold "forever-ish" (tm), sorry.

How does one post images to threads which are not clickable as links to the images source?

Direct link and that "Img" tag.

Like this:

There was an update a while ago that changed the AC of all armors to sum to 9 in base AC and DEX bonus. How does that work for different armor types? Were only the DEX caps increased, or did the base values also change for various pieces? I'd test this myself, but haz lazy burgercatz.

I strongly believe that the DEX cap was increased to sum up to 9.

It was. Full Plate has 8 +1 dex Now Halfplate has 7 +2 dex for a total of 9 as well... etc etc.. take 9-BaseArmorAC=Max Dexmod for that armor now.

For every armor with an AC value of less than 9, the Dex cap was increased on the armor until it hit 9, so 1+8, 2+7, 3+6, 4+5, 5+4, 6+3, 7+2, 8+1. All armors will end with you at a totall of +9 AC from it now.

Some enterprising citizen with forum mod access should really add that to the "Modifications" sidebar.

Maybe an "Items" section, with the Amia wand/potion creation changes, the trident changes, et cetera.

I have a feeling the number was about 2,000. I will ask around for you though, as that's only a vague hunch.

So sorry to hear that.

I guess I'll just level to 30 with the hopes that if it is available again, I can just remove a level!

You could be de-levelld to 29 with 1 XP until 30 with no problems, yep.

Is there any sort of list of equipment that has flat DR (ie 5/- or something, not like 5 piercing resist)?

Ring of Protection and Prevention ((+5AC, 5/+5 DR)), possibly other various gear.
Can't think of any pure x/- DR equipment that exists. Please correct if otherwise.

I would like to ask about PvP rules, specifically:

Quote:

3. You must give the other party a reasonable chance to back down from the PvP In Character.
5. You must give the other party clear IC indication of your intentions to attack, and make sure they have reasonable time to react and possibly back down IC.

What counts as "reasonable chance"? I'm asking cause I happened to be in situation where I thought that I am obviously giving the chance, yet there was almost no response to that and the "giving chance" part of the PvP lasted so long that all my buffs went away. Which sucks for someone who relies on buffs.

Also if I would play bandit (example) - is asking for money (or something valuable) that reasonable chance, or do I have to offer a way out without any negative consequence for opposite side?

Reasonable chance can be just about anything so long as it averts any mechanical PvP.

"Come with me, or I'll kill you" is a perfect example. Their chance to back down is that they come with you. If they refuse to come with you you're within the rules of engaging in PvP.

Essentially you can 'get out' of the PvP, but not the consequences of what is occurring. So saying "Give me money" is fine, and giving money would be the way to avoid the PvP/nasty thing

Ok, all clear now.

Question!

If a character wanted to do something like... say... have a party at the Nomad... and invite people via the forums... would they need a DM's approval? I mean would Griff say no to that? I'm not asking for a DM to oversee the thing, but... that would be cool too, you know, shiny DC's are nice. If a DM would be needed, who would the contact be?

Thanks!

If you just want to have a bunch of your friends hang out in a bar, go for it. That's what bars are for.

If you want Griff to actually do something for you IC, you'll need a DM, but even then, that's not really a "permission" sort of situation, I think.

This essentially.

I was wondering how exactly scrying spells work on Amia rulewise (in game and out of game), since my original interpretation appears to have been incorrect.

For Scrying the following is something I apply and the rest of the DM team to my knowledge.

http://dndtools.pw/spells/players-handbook-v35--6/scrying--2512/

Scrying on another player also requires consent to perform a pnp spell also

Thank you for the quick reply! So for clarification (and there is a reason I ask this), if one of my characters was scryed on, would I have to be informed or does the scrying player only have to ask a dm?

Outside of a specific DM plot or intervention, the player is required to ask your consent for PnP spells.

Exactly what Nivo said.

Alright, then thanks to both of you, this helped me a lot in figuring out what was going on yesterday

Just double checking. Custom polymorphs fall under scripting so they're on hold indefinately. Correct? Or are they a lot simpler to make than I think?

Do you mean custom shapes with custom stats, or just a skinchanger that transforms the appearance into something else of an existing shape?

Custom shapes with custom stats. Basically a custom form which would work with the shifter changes.

Yup, they're on hold. Reskins are not, however~

But that's probably not what you're looking for.

It's the answer I was expecting. I'll just have to wait

Question: Do the bonuses to saving throws provided by bard song count toward the +20 saves cap?

Thank you!

Save boosts of any kind/source count to it afaik. Save feat stuff.

Thanks!

Any chance of knowing when there might be a DM presence in the UD?

Go to you rest menu, then "list players on this server." Scroll up, and if there are DMs on, they will be listed as "DM Avatar" in purple/pink.

Pretty sure he means to ask about a DM being assigned the UD for ongoing plot purposes.

You might be able to ask for a DM on the request forum if you need to interact with some NPCs.
Something like "RP Request: Need to speak to the janitor of Necparya".

It really depends on what you want, though. For module changes etc, I'd suggest reading the sticky topic on that subject.

It's less of a request to speak to individual NPCs, and more of a request to see who's the active DM for the UD at the moment. I understand DustSpray's on his way back, but he isn't available at the moment as far as myself and others can tell.

Is there a way to delete characters from account? I messed up few characters when choosing subraces and had to recreate them to get the them right and now it's a bit messy.

While in game (on a PC you dont want stored away) type the following commands into the shout channel;

f_file store charactername

To retrieve a PC from the archive; f_file restore charactername

To view PCs in your archive; f_file show archive

That doesnt seem to work for those low lvl characters. Or am I doing something wrong?

[CHAT WINDOW TEXT] [Mon Sep 21 13:03:36] Zendaer Amattis: [Pověz] Command: file store Gatis Argan
[CHAT WINDOW TEXT] [Mon Sep 21 13:03:36] Unable to store! This character already exists in the archive or doesnt exist in the vault!

Try typing: f_file show vault

Do that first and it'll display a list of characters. Then you can just use the number next to the name in the list to store them if you like (f_file store 3). The store functions go by the file name, not the actual character name, so the space you used caused it to fail, at least.

Oh

sorry for being dumb

and thank you both.
