Hmmm, it would be interesting if it summoned water, and the water had to return after the spell expired...

[Shoruke]

The session's not likely to be more than a couple hours early. I fully intend to sleep until that point.

For the knowledge (architecture) thing, I like RAM's idea. You can ditch Ride and Handle Animal for Profession (siege engineer) and Knowledge (architecture and engineering).

As for the Summon Water cantrip... change the flavor text so that you create the water using magic (much like one would create force missile or a shitload of fire out of pretty much nothing), make the duration explicitly instantaneous, and give it a range of touch.

[Kogan Loloklam]

Alright. Can I go ahead and put a point in siege engineer, taken from the now class skill architecture? (Making Architecture remain 1 instead of going up to 2, since it has 2 points put into it)


I think this justifies well too. Riding and getting animals to listen to something that smells like a deer would be difficult, but the architecture and Siege engineering could have been taught by a retired siege engineer in his home village (which is how I justified architecture anyway, though it was a retired mason in my head.)

Spoiler: Pheron's Backstory (click to show/hide)

(Hidden backstory)
Pheron is the result of a wizard's evil experiments. Trying to create a race of warrior animals, he morphed Pheron while he was still developing. The wizard's plans were stopped before most of his animal experiments even came close to maturity. The ones who stopped the wizard left his experiments to die off, and most did. Pheron only survived thanks to someone who came to see if there was anything worth looting. Pheron was taken back the looter's village (somewhere between Rivershire and Landsedge). He was passed off on some delusional childless couple, and raised human. Before Pheron was grown, the village and it's regulars treated him as if he were human, and came up with elaborate stories to prevent him thinking otherwise.
(The stuff he recalls)
He was educated by the smartest villagers in his village (along with the rest of the children in the village). His personal mentor was a old retired veteran from a larger city who taught him engineering, architecture, and siegecraft. As a result of tales he heard, he grew up wanting to be an adventurer and it wasn't any surprise to his village when he left to go do exactly that.

Tropes
Thinks he's a human
He clearly wasn't a human child but he isn't quite a deer either.
He tends to do the right thing.

I will probably be a little late to today's session.

[Heron TSG]

If we start at 11:00 PM GMT, I should be there on time. Any earlier and I'll probably be late. The earliest I could possibly show up on time is 10:00 PM GMT.

As for the Summon Water cantrip... change the flavor text so that you create the water using magic (much like one would create force missile or a shitload of fire out of pretty much nothing), make the duration explicitly instantaneous, and give it a range of touch.

I understand the range of touch, but if the water instantly disappears, what's the use of the spell?

[Lord Shonus]

If it has an instantaneous duration, it doesn't go away. The water summoned is permanent. It just appears in a pulse.

Spoiler: Here's the water cantrip in that format (click to show/hide)

Name: Summon Water
Conjuration (Creation) [Water]
Level: Sor/Wiz 0
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Effect: See text
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
You summon 1d4 gallons of water. Due to the chaoticness of the energies, Roll 1d4 to decide what type of water it is.
     1 - Salt water
     2 - Boiling fresh water (1 point of damage on touch, first round only.)
     3 - Fresh water
     4 - Cool fresh water.

(I made the assumption that the components were verbal and somatic.)

[Araph]

When should we expect the game to be?

[Kogan Loloklam]

4 hours or so, give or take an hour.

[Shoruke]

I'll just go with "the usual time".

Also, the session is likely to be between three and four hours long (instead of the usual five or six). I've got a throat sickness of some kind that I'm going to want to recover from, presumably via sleep.

[Araph]

I won't be able to make it today, then. My dad randomly decided to drag me to a stupid sports thing, even though I'm pretty sure it's canceled.

[RAM]

Woohoo, I am amongst the living, maybe, better check if brains taste good...

[RedWarrior0]

Well, back at home with free (for me, anyways) intertubes. Able to make it.

[mission0]

I made it back with plenty of time to spare, go me!

[Araph]

Hooray! A sudden change of plans has left me able to make the session!
