I am fairly surprised Xoti isn't getting as much love. Seems pretty chill - could knock down a few beers with.

I'm kind of imaging Ewoks from Star Wars taking out Imperial Stormtroopers now... More like a rabid chihuahua and the mailman.

That being said, the idea of a barbarian orlan just seems wrong to me. Does a tiny barbarian sound effective to you? (Am I a horrible person for stereotyping?) Orlans (especially Wild Orlans) are known to be savages - literally. Like badgers they are stereotypically relentless.

As far as I'm concerned, Ydwin is the 8th pick in an 11 person draft.

The concept of Serafin as a wild Orlans barbarian/cipher is intriguing when entering combat. 1) Discharge various firearms and build focus. 2) Use focus to demoralize and strike fear into foes. 3) Switch to dual wield melee weapons (with boots of speed) 4) Enter into berserk state and go to town.

I mean, it's sort of like that. It's certainly true that if you touch it correctly it discharges energetic projectiles. That's assuming it's already primed. Sometimes it needs a blow. And you gotta make sure the ramrod gets in nice and deep.

Obsidian is already a year into development and are targeting March 2018. PS What IS Durance's other staff? A long stick that emits a hot projectile discharge? Couldn't it just be called Durance's Arquebus?

Perfect candidate for animancy. Please let it be the sentient weapon.

Indeed. This must happen.

They never answered my question on yesterday's twitch stream.

And grape shot. To specifically kill and maim men, while relatively minimizing damage to the ship itself.

Ships and cargo was far too valuable. Close with broadsides then board to take the vessel. Same concept as musket/mixed arms warfare. Exchange a few volleys then charge.

Boarding action was relatively common and necessary during the age of sail.

Sentient firearm. Think about it. The ennuendos won't stop coming from the writers' pit.

The places and innuendii we can go if the animated weapon is a firearm.

HMS Speedy (14 gun Brig-Sloop 80ft) had a crew complement of 90.

Sorry, I left my Pirates! - game manual at home.

Billionaire, I get that, but it still would be a wasted opportunity if Cadegund doesn't have a full companion arc.

I'm Pro-Impressment, myself.

IIRC, PayPal accounted for roughly 4,000 backers and about $120K for Eternity. I don't remember where I got the $ figures.

The way I see the crew breakdown: Maia Rua: Sailing Master/Pilot Radora: Master's Mate/Quartermaster Sarafen: Boatswain/Gunner Rekke: Bostswain's Mate/Gunner's Mate Everyone else: Landlubbers

It wouldn't make as much sense to only have her as a sidekick as there would be so much potential to expand on her narrative as a priestess of Magran hunting the ressurected God her order helped snuff in the first place. Making her tangential to that would be a wasted opportunity. But including her as an NPC representing her order on a parallel hunt could work.

When in port, my idle companions and sidekicks ought to go out as a roving press gang to crew up my sloop.

Sure, no problem. Much props on the breakdown work!
