    WTAH?!?

    Ok, so in addition to the crappy

    Mobile look/interface

    'Oh, no, we're just making it Mobile Friendly'...yeah, uh huh, pull the other one, it's got bells on it...

    , apparently the editing function is screwed up as well.  Every time I edit a post the idiotic WYSIWYG editor has decided that it needs to add carriage returns at the beginning and end of my post for some stupid reason.

    If any of you Mod types aren't too busy making this site so much more "wonderful", does anyone have any thoughts of how to correct this extremely irritating behavior?

     

    EDIT: AAAAARRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  And why in the actual hell wont Spoilers BLOODY WELL STAY INLINE?!?

    Further EDIT: It doesn't happen in every thread, but it's happened in a couple. In THIS ONE, it is literally every time I Edit/Save.

    @Paxon With regards to the various 'Roles' for The Crew, is that something we should be aiming for when putting our characters together (ie should we build the character with a focus towards 'The Commander', or 'The Gunner', or whatever), or will that even be a consideration when you're choosing players?  I ask because I'm giving very serious thought to giving my character Oath Against Harm (he is a Doctor, after all) and if I do that, there are a couple Roles that he straight up wont fit (Gunner, for example).

     

    Or are the Roles something we're going to hash out once The Crew is actually chosen?  And, if so (and if necessary), will we be able to make spot tweaks to our characters once that happens (ie to move around skill points, if someone ends up being The Driver, even though they didn't actually put points into that skill initially)?

    Well, technically, I don' think either of those two are options. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to be a jerk or argue with the DM here, lol. I just spent a ton of time last night trying to figure out how the dang Transformation feat actually works, and I'm pretty sure I've got it right (although I could well still be wrong).

     

    Transformation only lets you choose from (transformation) or (body) talents; neither Powerful Limbs or Size Change are (body) or (transformation), so they're not actually valid choices.

    You can choose other traits, but you have to have the appropriate talents.  And since we can't take magical talents, Transformation is highly limited.

     

    That said, if Pax were willing to let you take those talents, with the caveat of not actually being able to actually cast Alteration spells, it would work fine.  It'd be a bit of a 'wasted' talent, in a sense, since its literally only there for your Transformation feat, but if it fits the character vision, it might be worth it.  YMMV

    It may be the apocalypse, but at least there's good food and coffee aboard this tank!

    Damn straight.  How can we fight Kaiju, radiation warped !onstrosities, and post apocalyptic warlords without a good, strong cup of joe and a blueberry scone??  Anything else would be barbaric!!

    Oh, heck, I thought you [i]were[/i] going for Barista, my bad.  But yeah handling all food and beverage needs between us works, or I could just flip back to being an actual Blacksmith.

     

    Nah, play what you want.  I honestly hadn't made up my mind, though, tbf, I was leaning towards Barista.  🙂

     

    I was also pondering pairing Scholar/Doctor with Alchemist/Physician, and really doubling down on things.

     

    I honestly haven't made up my mind re:mechanics, though I'm definitely committed to playing The Doc.

    I'm probably going to go Iron Chef, so the 5th-level Techsmith feature giving a Maintenance option doesn't really work for me, unfortunately.  Or I guess I can just ignore that ability.

    Well crap, looks like we were thinking along similar lines, Llyarden.  Heh...I could take Barista instead, and we could handle all the teams food and beverage needs between us.  😄

    Feats

    Alchemical Strike

    Concentrated Splash

     

     

    Alchemy/Item Creation

    Time Savers

         Swift Alchemy: All Alchemical Items take half the normal time to create

         Rapid Alchemy: Alchemical Items costing 150GP or less can be made in 30 minutes

              With Improved formulae, reduce crafting time to 15 minutes (result is still basic item, just made faster)

              Increase DC of item by 6 (INT); this bonus does not apply to Alchemy Sphere Improved items

         Swift Quality: Any skill check that takes longer than 1 round, takes half the normal time

         Craftsman: Mundane items take half normal crafting time

         Natural Materials: Counts as having Alchemy Kit for the purpose of creating Alchemy Sphere materials only.

                        Formulae: 10GP x Heal ranks x Complexity

                        Toxin: 5GP x Heal ranks x Complexity

         Time to create

              Creation Cost >250GP: 8 hours (1 day) per 1000GP

                        Swift Alchemy: 4 hours / 1 hour

                        Craftsman: 2 hours / 30 minutes

                        Swift Quality: 1 hour / 15 minutes

    Posted · Edited by Arklytte (see edit history)

    Idea: 'Doc', using a combination of scrounged bits of tech, herbal remedies, and 'hoodoo', Doc keeps the team healthy and ready for battle.  Handy to have around in a fight, as he can use his concoctions to cause just as many problems for the enemy as he makes benefits for the team.

     

    Takes the Hippocratic Oath dead seriously (Oath against Harm?)

     

    Scholar - Doctor?

    Blacksmith - Barista and/or Iron Chef?

    Markus 'Doc' Strumpky

     
    “You know how sometimes you tell yourself that you have a choice, but really you don't have a choice? Just because there are alternatives doesn't mean they apply to you.”
     

    Alchemist (Physician )

    Scholar (Doctor/Harmacist)

     
    PRIMARY ROLE
    Buffer/Debuffer; Healer
     
    SECONDARY ROLE
    Crowd Control
     
    CREW POSITION
    Driver; Commander in a pinch

     

    Appearance

    Doc has the intense, driven look of a true Wasteland survivor.  His bright green, slit-pupiled, cat-like eyes observe everything around him, never ceasing their motion.  Those on whom he bestows his direct attention cant fail to notice the pain that seems to lurk deep within his gaze, but, at the same time, his eyes hold boundless compassion as well.

     

    Doc wears simple, well cared for clothing made of tough fabrics. Clothing designed for the harsh reality of his lifestyle.  His gear is immaculately well cared for, and his healing supplies are scrupulously clean and ready to use at a moments notice.  It is a rare sight to see Doc without his white leather satchel, with it's prominent red cross stitched on the front, hanging at his side.  It, along with several smaller pouches of herbs, salts, and bits and bobs that he uses for his field chemistry, are nearly the entirety of his kit.  The only other thing of note is the well oiled and cared for shotgun, slung on a tactical friction strap, slung over his back.

     

    Personality

    Doc is a fairly laid back man. He is patient, has a generally placid disposition, and is very slow to anger.  Even in battle, he is cold, calculating, and precise, preferring to use the least amount of force necessary to accomplish his goals, and never using lethal force unless absolutely necessary.  This is part and parcel to his time training with the elderly Doc.  One of the first things the old man taught Markus was the Hippocratic Oath, and Markus took the Oath deeply to heart.  To the point where causing unnecessary harm to any sentient being, even the few non-human ones he's encountered over the years, causes the healer intense, debilitating mental trauma.

     

    Beyond that, Doc is a fairly happy man.  He enjoys the camaraderie of the Crew, as well as the people that they help on their travels.  When he is working, he is the definition of a kind, compassionate doctor...one who is as truly called to his work as the most devout priest.

     

    Backstory

    As a youth, the man who would one day come to be known as 'Doc' was part of a moderate sized tribe of outlaws and brigands. His tribe owed much of it's success to having access to a large cache of vehicles, as well as a large, underground oil storage facility, as well as a small refinery deep within their territory.  From his early youth, Markus loved vehicles, and was an absolute whiz at driving them.  He was one of the best in his tribe behind the wheel, to the point where, on many of their raids, he never actually fired a shot, instead using his cars size, speed, and mass to commit his share of atrocities.

     

    In the brutal world of the wastelands, his tribe, like many others, lived under a very simple rule, 'Survival of the strongest'.  They fought with neighboring tribes, killed their warriors, took their dependents and lands, and, generally, were guilty of most every heinous crime that one can think of.  Finally, after years of suffering under their horrific 'rule', several smaller tribes banded together and led Doc's tribe into an ambush.  They were slaughtered, to a man, and left for the crows.  Well...almost all of them.

     

    Markus was grievously wounded in the fight, but the pile of bodies he'd fallen under had managed to save him from the withering gunfire that had taken down the rest of his clan.  How long he lay in the scorching sun, under the pile of stinking, slowly rotting bodies, he knew not, but eventually, he woke up in the cool, dry darkness of a desert cave.  To his great surprise, not only was he still alive, but his wounds had been patched with expert care.  Sitting not far away was a thin, elderly man, wrapped in a simple, long coat that had, at one point, probably been white, but that had been stained by dirt, food, and, most recently, a rather copious amount of blood.

     

    Markus' savior introduced himself as, simply, 'Doc'.  Over the next several years, the irascible, contentious, genius of a man would share many secrets with Markus, and eventually lead him to don the mantle of 'Doc' himself, as well as fill him with a genuine, burning desire to make the world a better place.

     

    It turned out that the original Doc had come across a large cache of BeforeTime medical texts, along with a working computer that contained hours and hours of medical instruction videos.  In 'payment' for saving him, the doctor 'claimed' Markus' life and demanded that the former brigand learn a new trade.  He would 'become as much a savior of the Wastes as his former self had been a destroyer'.  While he was healing, Markus had a lot of time for introspection (he spent months recovering and recuperating, as he really had very nearly died), and came to realize that his former life wasn't one worthy of living.  He figured that he owed his fellow Wastelanders a life for every one he'd taken.  Considering he literally couldn't remember all the people he'd killed and victimized over the years, he agreed to the elderly doctor's terms and set out to become a savior of the Waste.

     

    In his time with the old man, who's real name Markus never did learn, the former murderer learned chemistry, physiology, anatomy, and all the other skills to make one a proper BeforeTime doctor.  Eventually, the old doctor declared that Markus was ready.  In a ceremony that was half prayer, half party, and half pure Wastelands hoodoo, the elderly doctor bestowed the title of Doc on his protege.  He gave him a simple mission...serve the people of the Wastes, protect them from the mindless monsters that roamed the land, and live a good life.  And one day, when he found a worthy apprentice, pass on his knowledge.  He gifted Markus with a second tablet computer, onto which he's copied all of his textbooks and videos, as well as some tools of the trade, and sent him on his way.

     

    Markus, now known only as Doc, having shed his old life entirely, became a wandering knight of the Wastes, protecting those he came across who needed him, healing their hurts, protecting them from those who would harm them, and, generally, attempting to live up to his promise to atone for his early life of sin and death.

     

    Over the years, he's met and saved many people.  And while he's not found someone who he could fully pass on his knowledge to, he did meet the crew of a great BeforeTime metal beast. A crew who had sworn to uphold virtue and protect their fellow humans from those who would harm them.  It wasn't long before he'd worked his way onto the crew, and he never looked back.  Now he is able to practice his new trade not only on the crew itself, but all those in need that they come into contact with.

     

    Throughout their travels, Doc has heard rumors that a few others from his tribe have survived, now more brutal, if possible, but Doc has never cared to investigate, preferring to allow the past to stay buried.  Unfortunately, it seems that fate may be intervening.  Of late, the rumors have been getting more fresh, and he fears that there may, someday, be a reckoning.

     

    He can only pray that such a meeting never comes to pass.

    Here's hoping everything is ok.  I have a fair number of Spheres books, but a fair bit is pre - USoP.  Definitely need the wiki to make a character.

     

    Well, at least I can work on fluff.  😁

    @Miss@Arklytte@bwatford@DarkisNotEvil

     

    I addressed a lot of the why and reasons here, in the Path to Baldr Release thread.

    Thank you for the link. I hadn't seen that post, so I appreciate it.

     

    Also, credit where it's due. Over the last couple of days, it looks like some of my concerns were addressed (and yes, I'm self aware enough to know it wasn't my concerns, in particular, but since many others seemed to have similar concerns, it's nice to see them being addressed :)). The option to change to a more 'standard' forum view is very welcome, and the landing page layout is definitely a bit easier to navigate.

     

    That said, the Games layout still leaves much to be desired (not trying to be snarky, trying to offer constructive criticism).  No matter what layout I choose, it still seems to 'bunch up', whether it be on PC, or Mobile.  It's definitely a challenge to navigate, but I'm not sure what would make it better. Perhaps a more 'folder/old school forum' interface?

     

    Either way, it will definitely require more poking and prodding on our part, as well as work on y'all's.  Thank you for being responsive and receptive, rather than simply dismissing genuine concerns. Makes for much better outcomes all round.  All of us are here because we love this site and this community, which makes us passionate. That can certainly be a good thing, but sometimes it brings out folks' inner curmudgeon, especially when change happens.

     

    I look forward to seeing how things continue to change and grow, warts, bumps, and all.  🙂

    I must admit- I'm (regrettably!) not really a fan of things so far. I'm guessing this is going to be a forced-change when it happens, isn't it?

    Same.

     

    My biggest issue is the fact that I feel like we was basically lied to in the BALDR preview thread. It was brought up, again and again and again, that it felt like everything we were being told was alluding to the fact that the new site was being turned into a Mobile Oriented site, to the exclusion of, and at the expense of, those of us who prefer to be on MW at our PC's.  Our concerns were shouted down by the admins (sometimes in fairly obnoxious ways), outright ignored, or we were given 'pat on the head' reassurances that the aim was for "Mobile Friendly-ness".

     

    Considering the fact that I'm, right this minute, looking at the site on my phone, my tablet, and my PC, and it looks exactly the same...that's not just "mobile friendly".

     

    I get that making the site more mobile friendly makes sense.  The regular site is pretty annoying to navigate on one's phone.  What I DONT get is why I have to put up with that exact same interface on my PC. It's inefficient, annoying, and totally unnecessary.  I dont run my laptop in portrait mode, yet the interface is clearly intended to be optimized for that view.  The menu button in the upper right corner that's handy to tap on with my finger, on my phone's small footprint, is obnoxiously annoying to use with a full monitor/mouse.  The dropdown that springs from said menu is, ironically easier to navigate with a mouse, and difficult/annoying to navigate with my finger, but that doesn't change the fact that it's still irritating, and overly fussy compared to the simple dropdowns of the regular site..

    Navigating the site has proved difficult and not even the tiniest bit intuitive (as opposed to the old site, which is simple, fast, and, yes, highly intuitive).  I'm a qualified IT guy, with multiple certifications, and decades of computer experience. Yet I've spent the last several hours struggling to navigate this site.  I could understand if I had trouble for a little while, then eventually worked out the kinks with experience, but the fact that I'm still having issues does not fill me with confidence.
