Or, if you don't wanna stay at the inn like every other out-of-work shmuck, I'm about to boot a couple people out of my house. You can come stay at my place after that.  Provided you fit some stipulations... not much unlike Pox's list... with the following exceptions. Turor will be allowed to stay in Turor's house. Friends of Turor will be allowed to stay in Turor's house. Aleister will not be allowed to stay in Turor's house. Friends of Aleister will be pitied for their friendship to such a man and be allowed to stay at Turor's house for comfort in dealing with such an awful thing as befriending Aleister. That's about it.

Well... It wouldn't exactly be a GOOD action... Nor would it be in any sense LAWFUL...
Also, I think that doing that comes with the possible risk of having your animals go out of control... and then suddenly Druid #1 is attacked by Druid #2's Giant Spider. And then he dies.
Also, Eight Bit, if you're putting together some kind of, oh, I dunno... BOXING TOURNAMENT... I love yah.

Family emergencies suck. I know from experience... So, good luck with 'em, and I hope everything turns out peachy-keen.

That's a beautiful piece you've written there, Talan. Bravo. I do believe you could be a poet with those kinds of skills... *smirk*

That's why we love 'em. They screw with the environment and fiddle with the cosmos to figure out their jobs.

I've been thinking about this for a while now. Losing sleep and such. For shame you guys, making a guy with a mind as fragile and underused as mine... think! I believe that a ranger would in fact be an acceptable class to play as, really for anyone. And it doesn't have to fit into the norm, either. For gnomes, Rangers are supposedly more common than fighters. So rangers are probably the militia-men. For halflings, they're rogues that didn't turn to thiefly acts. (Or in the case of one character, buxom young orc hunters) Dwarfs know 'em as Cavers, because that's the environment they know very well. Really, the only stipulation is that they know something that not many others do about the environment they work in. A sea elf, therefor, would know exactly where to look in the coral for that tastey little fish, or they'd know how to take thorns from a sea urchin and craft them into effective hunting gear. So, just to clarify for all those wanting to make a sea elf, Rangers are a viable class.

Actually, for the record, Elvis is alive up here in Canada, in a town we call Moosejaw. But we leave 'im alone.

...And thus, take some good levels of fighter. You can do the same thing as a Paladin, but, y'know, minus the abilities, or orders to abhere to a code of conduct. If you wanna sneak around, that is.

Heh. The very worst case I've had so far is typing my password to my account and getting as far as "layopl--" before realizing that wasn't the password in question.

*has thusly killed the market for the room in Al's house. Being proud, he walks away. Towards his 'tree house'. Carrying an axe. And a torch. Yaaaay.*

Keeping on topic...
Will the horses, in fact, be edible? Will there be 'animal meat'? Also, will there be a new craftable natural resource such as "Horse hoof" that you can use to make, I dunno. Glue?

Turor's grumpy. Here's how to do it.
Step one: Don't talk.
That's right. If people come up to you, bawk at them and turn 'em away. Go as far as to be rude and say "Shut up."
Step two: When talking, grumble and gripe.
If you end up having to talk, be cold, and quick with a sharp tongue. But don't make it stinging, make it broader. It's the difference between a rapier and a club.
Step three: Proclaim hatred for something.
Say you hate something when the conversation gets boring. For Turor, it's elves. For Aleister, it's annoying dwarves. Just pick something to hate. Maybe you hate trees. Or really stupid people.
That's the three step program to being a grumpy sack o' crap. Enjoy!

Gluegally?

Yep. I know that. Why do you think I made the horse into glue? Yum yum, Doc's horse. Yum. And then, when I was finished, I shared the remainder with those who need it most. Young, growing children that need their daily intake of Protein and... well, Paste.

Just based on the "Who's on the forums right now" page, IDii is on. Try sending him a private message requesting a book. *nods*
EDIT: Oh. Right, Dorganoth is a DM too. Try him as well.

I hear you bug a DM for one. And it costs you a hundred gold.

Yeah, they ask their deity... but basically not. They just pretty much are so much alike their deity through the training that they kind of know what's the right thing to do. Well I suppose you could call that the god being with them or them knowing what is the will of the god. About the same thing anyway... it's about being very close either way. The gods are fickle and may change their stance at a whim. Mortals cannot comprehend a god's design. Thus, the Paladins should not be assuming anything about their deity and how the deity would react. Every situation is independent and unique. Lawful good doesn't need to equal lawful stupid for the paladin to do something other than brutal slaughter. I have the funny feeling that people defending the idea that in order to be an effective Paladin they must sometimes do unpaladinly things are the people that do these things because they don't wish to play a smart character. There are an infinite ways a situation can go, based totally on the way the paladin and the orcs act. If it does, in fact, come to blows, the Paladin will lead the militia in a stout defence, not launch an attack at the orcs. But the Paladin would pray and hope that it never came to that, because much blood would be spilled, both of the townsfolk and the orcs. What a true paladin desires is peaceful conduct, and they will always hold themselves to that. They serve first as diplomats, and second as warriors, never should they work the other way around, because then they abuse the priviledges granted by their deities. In such a case they should be losing their abilities, but this cannot happen with this system, and therefor a Paladin can act how he/she likes. Perhaps the Paladin bolstered defense of the town, or declared an immediate evacuation to a stronghold in the south until relation with the orcs could be improved. Perhaps the Paladin preaches the ways of his 'powerful god', that he might awe and inspire the orcs to turn their axes to good. Perhaps the Paladin boldly stands as the sole defender of the village, providing such an awesome display of heroics and martyrdom that the village is saved. The life of a Paladin means less to the Paladin than the lives it can save. As such, the Paladin never covets gold or valuables as certain few Paladins have been known to do as of late. This isn't some guideline as to how the character 'should' be played. This is, in effect, how the Paladins MUST act, if they are to attain their righteousness and virtue. A slaughter of orcs is an evil deed in itself. To a Paladin, the only greater good is complete good. If his actions will not bring about the well being of the universe in general, he won't follow through with 'em. The Paladin would never amush in secret. He would, if going to war, give the monsters ample time to gather themselves. It's an honorable life that often makes a Paladin's life expectancy rather short.

...And then your knees go. And your back aches. And you spend all day hunched over, grabbing your back, your bifocals sitting on the edge of your nose, while you lean down to grab your daily newspaper and yell at a few young whippersnappers.

Well. The gas prices up here in good ol' Canada are a jillion times worse than 40 cents a gallon. Let's say that the Canadian dollar is .75 of the american dollar. Meaning your 40 cents is somewhere... 50 - 60 cents for me. I don't know for sure, I'm lazy. That's roughly half the price for the gas where I am. Per LITRE. That's like... Unreal. You pay say, 60 cents for a gallon. That's 4 litres. Last place I was at had it going for about 1.15 for a litre. That means 4.60 plus GST per gallon. I'm lucky to live in Alberta, no PST. Those are, by the way, consumer taxes impressed upon us because of WWI. Yep. So. GST is 7%. Meaning that 4.60 per gallon becomes 4.922 per gallon. No, if I were to translate that 4.922 canadian back into American we get $3.6915 per gallon. Imagine that. I come from the community that provides probably as much oil to the world as Texas, and I get to pay a crap load to fill my car with it. Huh.
