GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

So I've decided to convert my (currently on hiatus) Pathfinder campaign over to 5E. Even with the work of converting everything in the Adventure Path, I think it will still end up easier on me.

Since 5E expects less magic items (and eliminates a lot of the various protection items that are pretty much required in 3.x/PF) I'm over-hauling their gear and trying to give everyone a unique item tied to their character concept (along with couple other standard items.) I like how much easier that is in 5E.

Instead of trying to figure out what spells and feats are required to make it and what plus value to assign to the abilities and how much it costs, I just have to decide what it does, look to see how anything similar works and determine its rarity. Done.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

The President's been back for something like five days. Could we get the game moving again?

I'm checking to make sure we are not waiting on a move from me.

We're waiting on a move from Helo, though he did ask you a question a few posts back that you can answer if you want.

In answer to repairs, I can work the Quorum, but I don't have anything at hand to enable repairs.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

BSG (Helo)

I can't think of a better option.

I will move to Sector 5 and play xo-1 on President Apollo

The first Raptor level in Lego Jurassic World is making me want to see them show up in Aperture Science.

Apologies for the delay. I've been down with the weirdest illness I've had in some time, the primary symptoms keep changing on me. Apollo has activated the Quorum Chamber twice to draw four Quorum cards.

Anyway, I feel bad about leaving things so long, so this seems like an appropriate crisis card:

Guilty Conscience
Skill Check (7 YG)

Possible interrupts: IC, SR, RO, ASC, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Apollo plays first, Helo last.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

BSG (Admiral Tigh)

Well, I think we will burn more cards doing the skill check, then Helo being ofrced to discard 3. I vote tank.

Sadly, no jump icon.
