Conventioneering

Hey, is anyone interested in going to Origins/Gencon next year? I am and would be happy to have company. Please comment, and use poll questions to give me an idea on what is up.

they are both fantastic conventions, I have been to Origins twice (ask me about the pixe punch!) and it is a fantastic time. there are non-gamer activities as well as kids stuff too.

Want to go to Origins June 25-29, 2008?

Brief description:
Follow the footsteps of St. Cuthbert in Scotland. Not only was he all monk all the time, he was the non-decomposing christian saint. Now, with modern embalming, this isn't as unique, but back then it was pretty scary for grave robbers to find an un-decomposed body.

Character making and keeping

In the ever changing realm of virtual persons, I have often been frustrated by the calculations, stats, and sheer amount of data that is available to make up a character. This is of course, the champions gamer coming out in me. Many people just think the stats you have are the stats you are gonna have, but the reality is is that when you hit somebody with an axe, your stats are different if the axe is dikoted, or is the Ares Combat Axe, or your strength spell fails, or whatever. So your stats change - In the example above, Rascal can do 9S normal damage or 4M vehicular (SR 2ND ED Rules) But when his strength spell is dropped, then he's down to 5S/2M. Ah, the fun of DiKote adds even more excitement. what if it chips off?

So I am sure you have your own examples to play around in. D&D is a great one for modifiers.
