I laughed my buttocks off when I saw that.
A while ago I had a boss who was in the air force and in the 60s he was stationed in Korea. Apparently a form of currency with the ladies of negotiable affection was Chapstick.

I appear to have invented the Bawd character class... :roll: It's like a Bard but with a certain homage to the Houri class from the White Dwarf magazine of long ago. :)

As to genius niche market spotting skills...

An apocryphal story involves a British Army Staff Sergeant who, when posted to Bosnia, managed to wangle an amount of Levi jeans and a crate of Mars bars into the peacekeeping zone. He instantly became a "Merchant Prince" (of some dark renown) within the peacewarzone...

From a first-hand source - our archeology students were going to a dig in former Warsaw Pact countries in the 90s and they each brought a second suitcase of blue jeans which funded the semester trip.

There are still some "hard" currencies with international recognition and indeed "crypto" currencies even back then... ;)

300gp is a good carousing event for the sewer group.

We should see what the gems are worth and decide what to divvy up for each PC and what to spend on carousing, but I think we should spend at least 300gp on a good time.

It might even be a bit better than that! ;)

Pending my PM to the DM but I think everything from "An ornately carved box..." is ours too!

That's the chest we wheelbarrowed out and Robin just opened for us in the post above the "Treasure Post".

This one: viewtopic.php?p=761818#p761818

Both parties (unsurprisingly as adventurers worthy of the badge) had recovered loot and both had chests/boxes but I think "Trip" group had already opened theirs.

Gaurbal might need a trip to "Ye Leather Goodes Shoppe" (not that one - the other one!!! :oops: ) to repair his shield but we could even begin to think about more chainmail...

:shock: :D

Wow. That's something like another 800gp from our box.

:D

We do need to consider spending some on upgrades, for example Gaurbal would love some chain mail.

I think even on 300gp we are into the realms of a "Jolly Boys' Outing" in the hangover stakes! :)

We could consider upping to the next level of carousing at 600gp, leaving 500gp to be divided up between the four PCs.

Combat Actions Extension

#160 Post by Eris »

Proposed House rule for Combat Actions. It gives PC's a few more options during combat such as second Melee attacks, some Ranged ones as well, and a couple of Defensive maneuvers you can call as Reactions. Although this makes things a bit more complicated, I don't think it will slow things down and might be a good extension.

What do you think?
