Whee!

Well, I just confirmed that getting locked up removes warpaint.

Lousy ultra fast Crossing guards!

This was actually one of the few times I was not wanted for stealing.

I was using wail at WM guild to "create" helpless targets to tag. >=)

How were these two supposed to interact again?

This is the situation I'm running into...we have a target with warpaint.

The target is then painted, tagged, and now you look at them and only see the paint.

The paint is removed, no warpaint is seen.

New warpaint cannot be applied because there is already warpaint there...then the invisible, to others at least not sure if the character can see it on themself, warpaint has to be cleaned off before applying another batch of warpaint.

Cleaning works and all that, just the visible portion of it seems to get lost in there.

i haven't seen that. my barb character died on the way to getting the paint <those dolemar or whatever things they are are faster than a full-loaded tog wandering through the bushes>, and got painted by someone while dead. the paint wore off quickly, and she was able to be repainted shortly after coming back to life, and as she hasn't used the verbage, the warpaint is still on her.

By the way, what do you think should happen if someone with warpaint is smeared or stamped?

I'll rephrase, heh.
What do you think should happen TO THE WARPAINT if someone wearing warpaint is smeared or stamped?


Gamemaster Iayn

Hmmm. If possible have it leave traces? I wouldn't really like if it got entirely messed up(like not changing how it works I think) but like have it be the design and then if the paint mark is removed or wears off the warpaint looks like...

"face and torso are painted with stylized panthers in fresh crimson warpaint with several <color> smudges."

or if it can be more elaborate...

"face and torso are painted with stylized panthers in fresh crimson warpaint however, the numerous <color> smudges indicate(s) how they(if you can't use he/she) fare(s) against a true barbarian." (for non-barbarians only if at all possible)

"face and torso are painted with stylized panthers in fresh crimson warpaint however, the numerous <color> smudges indicates this barbarian (brother|sister) must train harder."

I am --- Navak

the effect of the warpaint should be reduced. The amount should depend on the location of the applied warpaint. Face only 75% reduction face and arms 50% face arms and leggs 25 % and so no.

You are Savage Seanna whispersoft, Animal, a Prydaen Barbarian.
You have tufted ears and bright cat-slitted crystal green eyes. Your flaxen-streaked golden mane is long and thick, and is worn untamed. You have sandy fur with a white belly and a slender tufted tail. Your face, arms, and legs are painted with skulls in fresh midnight-blue warpaint.
You have a tattoo of a fierce-looking boar following a single wavy line of pawprints on your forehead.
You are in good shape.

a paint-splotched pouch
The pouch is covered with paint splotches in various colors.
There appears to be something written on it.
A paint-splotched pouch reads:
"Barbarian war paint contest. Year 382."

In the paint-splotched pouch you see a midnight-blue paintstick, a blue paintstick, a red paintstick, a scarlet paintstick, a slate-grey paintstick and a sea-green paintstick.

Just wanted to thank the judges, I worked on it all week! I will wear my warpaint with pride.

First the question.

Is the downtime for warpaint absolutely necessary? At the moment, when the warpaint's affect ends and you get the messaging of your warpaint peeling, from there it takes 4 minutes and 15 seconds of downtime (this goes for anyone who can apply the warpaint on them) until you can use any other warpaint verb for full affects. My thoughts are that you can only activate one of the warpaint verbs at one time, so it doesn't seem too powerful for the downtime to be removed due to the fact you can only have one aspect/verb activated at one time.

Second the suggestion.

In the case that the downtime is truly necessary for warpaint, can you please add messaging to indicate when the warpaint downtime is complete so that the Barbarian knows when he can receive the full affects of the warpaint in the means of duration/power affect?

Thanks again for reading and your thoughts, as always.

Also, we're still compiling more information for Phii's site. I experimented on MEDITATE earlier on today and was testing out the whole hypothesis on it being an overall armor hinderance reducer and that doesn't seem to be the case. It didn't impact any of the protection or absorption stats, also.

I think Gavyn was testing out STARE, if it raised agility. I told him to use origami, although in his case, we could try how he would appraise a mirror blade and see if the balance increases to determine whether there's an agility boost there (although, I think I may need to borrow Magdar's mirror blade if he still has it). I don't believe there was any noticable melee, ranged or thrown skill boost with STARE.

On a completely different note, since I don't feel like creating another post in a different folder. Do you guys know of the exact requirement value for whirlwind (not to break out of the web, but the one the attack manuever). 350 ranks in a melee, pole ranged weapon and 33 agility (32 agility? Need help on the agility, if someone has less around 30 agility and at least one weapon over 350 ranks that isn't ranged or thrown). Oh and Phii is updating her site, while I'm noticing some errors constantly. So check it out, if you guys are free and let me know if you see anything odd that I should look at.

Yadda yadda yadda, clicking on the post button.

You mean SCREAM and CONCENTRATE.

I don't have a problem with those, already examined them and listed it on the site. I really don't think MEDITATE is a direct BMR boost. Check out the meeting log for the reasoning.

I'm not looking for specific numbers unless you are referring to when I asked about whirlwind's combat manuever requirements - 350 ranks in a melee/pole ranged weapon and 32, 33 (?) agility? I just need other Barbarians to help me out with that since I forgot the number.

<<I believe someone posted earlier whirlwhind didn't work for them at 350 and 30 agility.>>

Yeah, Ironjonn did. That's the reason I was asking again if hopefully he pinpointed it (or someone else).

<<At most whirlwhind is 350 and 32 agility and only used base ranks/stats from what I could tell since I tried boosting my weapon ranks and agility up well past those numbers and nothing happened.>>

Yep, thanks Navak.

The rest of the things you mentioned are generally covered (from the preview of the site from what I saw today), but still looking into the penalties involved.

I broke down the entire meeting posted and listed things only pertaining to warpaint in a Q&A section. Also, listed some facts about warpaint which could help out folks understand certain aspects about that system. Not sure if Phii's player will use the breakdown of the log, but I'll ask when she's feeling better.

This isn't my absolute favorite, but has anyone looked at warpaint on their arms and legs after they've lost an arm or leg?

Gamemaster Iayn
Barbarian Liaison

Thank you, Iayn.

<<This isn't my absolute favorite, but has anyone looked at warpaint on their arms and legs after they've lost an arm or leg?>>

I haven't at this point, but I would imagine that the warpaint is lost when you've been delimbified in those areas where your warpaint was located.

<<Somewhere around here I thought I had the meeting log when Ssra came to the bonfire. I'm 95% sure he said 350 ranks, 35/35. I found the log, but it started after the point where he discussed the whirlwind requirments.>>

Thank you for looking. I appreciate the help with just figuring out this requirement and usually I won't ask you guys for numbers on things since I'm trying to maintain this whole in character (while not revealing too much so you can still have that mystified feeling when playing DR) thing while still leading you guys in the right direction so you aren't completely lost in the dark about X, Y, Z system. After we're done remembering what the agility requirement for whirlwind is than we could try to figure out what the requirements are for whirlwind out of a webbing (it will be less than using the combat manuever of whirlwind).

<<I did however, find the teasers about the parry feats, which are still way cool. Hopefully these come out soon. I'll repost them in the general folder to get away from being off topic here.>>

Yeah, I agree. They sound pretty neat. Thanks for posting that.

Regarding the downtime of warpaint after activating one of the verbs, could the Barbarian who is using that warpaint receive messaging that his downtime is complete? It would help the player/character realize when you have the option to re-use the warpaint at full powered affect/duration.

Ok, one last thing. Phii noticed yesterday that you could go into negative application numbers (she told me she was using a plunderer's type paintstick, although it could've been a savage type paintstick).

<<Looking closely at your green paintstick, you believe that there is enough left for about -3 applications.>>

She went from -2 applications to -3 applications. Just a head's up.

<<Looking closely at your orange paintstick, you believe that there is enough left for about 10 applications.>>

Supposed to look (and usually does) like this.
