狼烟起江山北望
龙起卷马长嘶剑气如霜
心似黄河水茫茫
二十年纵横间谁能相抗
恨欲狂长刀所向
多少手足忠魂埋骨它乡
何惜百死报家国
忍叹惜更无语血泪满眶

马蹄南去人北望
人北望草青黄尘飞扬
我愿守土复开疆
堂堂中国要让四方
来贺

歌曲:精忠报国
歌手:屠洪刚

Post 12 : A little something ^_^

Doh , its been so long since i updated my own blog lol
Many events popped up over the past few weeks ..... it even prevented me from updating my beloved d&d game T_T (lol)

Well , since the opportunity presents itself , heres a little something i wanted to post on 1-nov-2005 , around a month ago (Swt)

***

I was reading up a story regarding two females , Yukari-chan (aka Princess of Dimensions) and Yuyuko-chan (aka Princess of life and death)

The story's name is "Clover and Promise" (or something)

I esp love the last scene ... something that Yukari said really gave me a heart-warming feeling ^^

~~~

Yukari: Even if you hadn't ask me, I would have been your friend still...

There are many things that can be mutually understood without words...
However, if someone is brave enough to say it,
it will become something special.

~~~

lol ...... i'm still musing over the fact that i dreamt that Mystica the sparrow youkai was my eldest daughter (swt) and i took her with the rest of my "elven" family to a Pasa-Marang (Bazaar) swt

lol

Till next time
(i hope for a d&d update real soon if time permits)

Post 11 , An interesting conversation

Before parting with Axis by the MRT , we chanced upon an interesting conversation.


I was quoting a nice piece of orient wisdom that i find quite intriguing

***

(Dk Re-mix Version)
Those that praise me when i am correct , are my friends.
Those that criticize me when i am wrong , are my mentors.
Those that flatter me without reason , are my enemies.

***

Axis brought out another point ->
What about those that criticize without correct/reason (?)

Thats quite a little food for thought , what do we think of those that criticize others without form or reason ? lol
I be interested to hear what you think , if you would ^_^


***

(Original Shogun total War Quote)
He who correctly criticises me is my teacher. He who correctly
praises me is my friend. He who flatters me is my enemy.

Post 10 - Anime Review (Kaledio Star)

(Kaledio Star)
Watched Kaledio Star 51 today , finally finished the series , very good series indeed ...


The stage/drama reflects life in essence , with grace trying to raise life beyond mere surival.
Dreams are wings , to take one to the skies.
Dreams like torches of light , are passed from generation to generation.
Impossible dreamers , such as adventurers , pioneers or challengers are often called fools.
Foolish dreams are passed from one fool to another fool , dreamer to dreamer.
A world without conflict , a stage without conflict , be it yet another foolish dream.
The demon brings out the angel within , must demons exsist for angels to shine ?
A moment of magic , that brings out the memories of happiness.
Dreams of one change from time to time . Some dreams change , some never do.
Can freedom rise from the depths of the abyss ?
Sharing a dream together , building a dream together ..... happiness (Sora and her friends)
No longer a dream , but living pride and joy. (Layla and Sora)
At the end of a dream , one feels an pitless emptiness , yet it is the beginning of a new dream.


........
Wow
Along like shows like Junni Kokki , this show sure is amazing in its own way.
Looks like i should try to collect the full series and re-watch it again ^_^

A little d&d open gaming creation - Paladins Smite Evil !!

Hmm at lvl 1 , a paladin gets 3 abilities

(Constant) Aura of good
[A] detect evil
[A] smite evil 1/day

Let us try to customize these abilities a little , by using "IE" as a catalyst to better suit each character's individual style ^^

Using Smite evil as a example for our dependable paladin foot soldier Wez Cross

***

Standard:
Smite Evil (Su): Once per day, a paladin may attempt to smite evil with one normal melee attack. She adds her Charisma bonus (if any) to her attack roll and deals 1 extra point of damage per paladin level

Variant:

~Star Burst Strike~

Required:
Focus (Holy Symbol)
"Paladin template" IE cost: 10

Effect: The empowered weapon strike manifests itself as a mini falling star that explodes upon successful melee impact starburst style upon the intended target , scattering star dust and divine wrath upon evil targets.

(Basic Effects)
As per normal smite evil

(Star Burst Radius)
10 feet radius 5 feet per paladin lvl

(Star Burst Impact)
Upon successful melee hit , bull-rush knock back effect that moves targets out of the burst radius. The Paladin's Strength check is increased by charisma mod Paladin lvl.

(Star Dust)
All targets are affected by daze (will save) flare (fort Save)spell , save at DC 20 charisma mod.

(Booster)- Holy Power

Adds + 1 to hit
Adds additional smite evil damage 1d10

cost: 5 IE (Max = 5 IE per paladin lvl)

***

Alright guys , look through ur class abilities and see if there is any powers/abilities u want to customize to suit your character better ^^

EG. Maybe vani can have a bravestar ver of smite evil ?

I advise to variance abilities outside game-time , helps to give your character a more unique and individual feel ^^

Regards
Your happy Dm yo

Post 9 : What a unrelated but cool dream lol

Have not been dreaming for a while , what a strange dream i have ........

Don't really have much use for this blog apart from communicating with friends and d&d purposes , might as well use this as a werid dream note book , lol.

~~~

It started with this werid viking like settlement , i see a wooden vessel sail into a harbour set in stone , the whole settlement seems to be bulit on stone around 10~15 feet above the sea level. Seems to have some sort of rainbow colored coral like reef to protect the harbour/settlement like a barrier vs weather and storms.

A worn-out looking Father(?) just returned home from the vessel , on the way home , he met his petite but worried looking wife. She was carring their 5~6 year old son.

They give each other a troubled glance , and the father carried (?) both the wife and the child , and started heading the other way.

They were stopped by a old woman wearing a black cowl. She told the father that she heard rumors that his son is "dieased".

The dream ended here ........ werid.

~~~

The second dream took place in a different setting , in some sort of egyptian temple/palace.

A young knight/warrior causes a stir in the temple palace by resucing/picking up/stealing (?) the princess. Imd , the temple came to live , firey lights held by ghostly statues gave illumination to the otherwise darken temple palace.

Guardian knights in bluish "half-plate" (?) wearing eagle-faced helms appeared. They wield large halberd like battle axes made to look like flags in one hand , and silvered long swords in the other.

(Looks to me like scottish/viking/european/gothic (?) weapons hybrid in a egyptian setting (?) )

The movements of the guardian knights are etheral like , almost ghostly without sound , they move in flashes and swoops. The young knight/warrior managed (?) to avoid them and moved out of the temple palace.

Hundreds of warriors in dull-sandy ceremonial armor seems to await. Most of them in a slumber like trance. As soon as the young knight/warrior appeared , all of them just snapped awake , and readied their weapons in union. However , even this legion of warriors did not seem to worry the young/knight warrior.

The "King" happened to be outside inspecting (?) the army. A grand old knight in full ceremonial gold/silver plate mail.

The young knight/warrior knows that he could not win , hence he quickly changed his route of escape. He ran into the guardian knights , and without hesitation , he dispatched a guardian knight in a single swipe of his blade .... while the old king loomed just a few meters behind.

The young knight/warrior seems to be desperate not to be caught up by the old king. He parried with the remaining guardian knights and found his escape route vial a city side gate.

The moment the young knight escaped the city , the gates shut close. (He seems to have friends helping ?)

The city gate was as tall as a mountain cliff (?) , try as the guardian knights , they did not manage to jump past the wall (?) , they jumped a height of around 9 to 10 stories.

At last the mighty old king reached and with a single leap , he overcame the barrier.

The Old king arrived at the desert wastelands outside his city , and saw no trace of life ......

~~~~

Werid dreams ........ ha

Seems to me like the young knight was resucing (?) the princess from a city of undead .....

The old king seems to have the aura like "Black Wind" , i could feel that the young knight knew he was doomed the moment the old king caught up to him.

The princess herself does not really seem alive to me , she sure is very pretty , but in a living (?) doll like fashion .... reminds me of Azalea .... ho ho

Maybe i can use the second dream in my d&d game HAHA

D&D Post 3.1 Experience and Award System (Part 2)

Experience and Award System (Part 2)

=Mini Side Game=

RTS (Role Play Training System)

(Acquire) RTS is generic earned through no-combat suitations when the character puts effort to train up a particular set of skill or do some self-improvement training in general.

 Max Skill RTS Gained = Max Skill rank allowed by Level
 Max Ability Score RTS = Max Character Level

(RTS Decay) RTS bonus can be removed or disabled after a long period of inactive. “Your brain will rot if you don’t use it ^_^”

Example:
The Character is critically injured and needs weeks to recuperate. After his long period of rest , most RTS skills will be disabled and needs to be “re-awaken” through practise

=RTS Types=

Physical RTS (Points to be distrubed among Str / Dex / Con)
EG
Character engages in physcial exercise

Mental RTS (Points to be distrubed among Int/Wis/Cha)
EG
Character engages in intellectual studies and debates

Skill RTS (RTS points for a particular skill)
EG
Character uses the “Alchemy Skill” to test out new formulas

Hero RTS (Special type of RTS acquired through heroic acts)

(Hero Coin)
 Once a player has acquired a Hero Coin , he can attach it to a ability score or skill , next time the score increases , it adds 1 more bonus rank per coin attached to it. (Coins are used up)

->When the Hero Coin is attached , the Skill/Score has a RTS bonus of + 1 Step when ever RTS is applied to it. (Until the score is increases)

Example:
Player attach Coin to Charisma Score. When RTS is complete , character gains 2 Charisma Points instead of 1.

=Leveling up RTS=

When the Character Acquires RTS , he builts up the RTS pool.

Example : Strength Pool = 15% RTS.

When the pool reaches 50% , it is considered in “Breakthrough Status”
The next time he adds RTS to the pool , he can roll for breakthrough.

If Successful , the character gains 1 strength point and the pool is reduced to Zero
If Unsucessful , the character just adds the RTS , and needs to wait for the next breakthrough attempt.
