Not my thing but more power to 'em.

All checks with people who don't share your native language are considered untrained?

I'll second this. It's pretty clean.

Lars hauls Blackerly to the Mitran shrine.  After an hour he walks out with his hands covered in blood.  He strips the clothes and burns them to, "remove the stench of the weak" and then finds water for a bath.  He then dons some nicer clothes from the stores.

Lars settles to begin the wait for daylight with the rest of the group.  During that rest time he asks if any wish to offer prayers with him but doesn't push anyone.

"Standard adversaries may activate critical successes and hits"

So Standard Characters cannot activate crits in standard scenes, or they can if they have the Treacherous quality?

You have it correct, sir.  Under normal circumstances, a standard character can't activate a crit but if they have Treacherous OR if it is a Dramatic scene.

Gunnerkrigg Court - Mad Science and Magic, and a background of contained conflict between the two. One of my favorites.

I am very upset with you ... and extremely happy you introduced me to this comic.  Upset because I caught up and now have to wait (not so) patiently for the next one.  Happy because it is quite simply, awesome.

I'm also good with this plan.

Lars' eyes burn with religious zeal.  "My good man.  If you don't mind, leave him alive - truly alive.  After all, he should visit the Mitran shrine in this place before he passes.  Perhaps he can carry the Usurper a message from my Lord.  I would be more than happy to assist with sending him forth."

Threaten: 1d20+7=27.  Yes, I will be spending an AD on that!
Stress Damage: 1d6=6.

I would rather pay money to watch an animated version of the Thrawn trilogy.  That way, the fx budget doesn't kill the movie, I don't have to deal with green screen, the original actors can still play their parts and we get a good story.

meh, done with my wistful rant.

[Contempt]

Lars follows Aiden through the hole with a guttural shout, "Might makes right!  For Asmodeus!"

He lashes out at the first guard he sees with another yell.  "Die, Mitran dog!"  Then, he follows up with another blow.

Athletics: 1d20 + 4 = 18.  I assume he moved down the hole without hurting himself?

If so, use Contempt on first guard.
Attack: 1d20 + 1 = 6.  I'm guessing a miss.

I believe that leaves me with another attack.
Attack: 1d20 + 1 = 19.  Much better.
Damage: 1d8 for a club?  Book is AWOL at present. 
1d8 + 1 = 6

I think you should emphasize the nature flavor of the class by giving it abilities that show off the nature power of the character not abilities that limit the character to only nature like things.

This is more or less what I was trying to say earlier.

As to GenCon ...
The wife wants to go to her first con and her parents live in Indy, so we're seriously thinking about making it a vacation spot this year.

It would be great to see you! Definitely let us know if you can make it.

Just got our badges and hotel rooms.  See you there.

HUZZAH!  The fun shall be DOUBLED! 

Yes, your Highness. 

It's interesting but not something I would use.  From my perspective, it seems more about forcing flavor (in-line with the D&D Druid) rather than giving me an enticing option on it's own.

That said, I never really "got" the whole druid thing so maybe it's just my bias.

... not be the political good ol' boys club that it is today.

You mean "rogues gallery."

I stand by my "drop rocks from orbit" statements.  Most national capitols could stand to receive one.   

Yes.. but that may (probably does) violate TPGASEUOSiMOCB.  (I had to look that up to get the acronym right. lol)

Nope. Kinetic bombardment projectiles (rocks, rods from god, project thor, etc) are conventional weapons, so they're perfectly legal by the OST, ABMT, and SALT II.

Yes, yes they are.  Now if we can get the suits who run the corporate court to approve a Code Red Action ...
