I hope our benevolent dm overlord is willing to make the longbow a gnome sized longbow (shortbow) because its sort of unfair otherwise. Gnome ranger begins a campaign and the only weapon he automatically gets is too big for him, doesn’t make for the best story in my mind. Quite frankly it doesn’t make sense that he would ever pick up a longbow to begin with.
It was meant to be… Persnidgetron simply had to exist.

This was the plan all along right? All for the sake of creating Persnidgetron.
Amazing Episode and even more magnificent Random Character creating.
Any hope for Daty9 to get a shortbow instead of a longbow. Consiodering that the PHB and even its Errata totally forgot that halflings and gnomes can be Rangers too.
Also there were in chat and here some mentions of the UA ranger. I know it isn’t official yet, but if Day9 ever gets to play its ranger to 3rd level, then the UA version has an actually working version of beast master ranger instead the dysfunctional PHB one. Just an alternative to consider, when it ever comes to this.

I love how serious the setting is in CoS but at the same time would be crazy fun to see the show take a turn and it’s now about the rise and fall of the Evil Gnome King Tyrell (Bladerunner refence).
Jokes aside really enjoyed the show, love the world and lore Adam!
Man I kept hoping “Percy” would catch on as a short form of Sean’s new character’s name.
Also, did Zawaz have “Shield” at this disposal just before he got incinerated? Though that might have meant missing out on the madness that was the RNG creation of Percy.
Thanks to whole crew for making a great show. Still looking forward to finding out what happened to Thuy and the mess surrounding the Necromancer King(??).
He used his magic missile spell already and I think he only gets one spell at first level so I don’t think he could have.
Edit: Nvm he had two first level spells, don’t know if he had access to shield though.
Holy crap this episode made me laugh a lot. That character creation process had me in stitches.
But yeah, like other people have said it doesn’t make sense at all for him to get a longbow as a gnome. I would definitely rule it as him getting a shortbow instead (I mean, it’s cheaper even).
Although I realize there’s a strong chance that Sean would prefer the idea of a gnome using a weapon that’s too big for him.
He did have Shield, if I remember correctly. This outcome was so much funnier, however, so I don’t mind him forgetting it at all.
I NEED MORE TIME, FATHER.
Sean “Snidges” Plott is the best / worst thing to ever happen to this show.

The funny thing about the Longbow situation is, since he already has disadvantage, he can just sit 600 feet away and plink at people at no technical decrease in ability.
Maybe that’s how he became a folk hero. He killed those pesky Rock gnomes from 600 feet with his cumbersome longbow while the Rock gnomes’ measly shortbows could only reach up to 320 feet! Gnomish ingenuity at its finest.

I like your optimism but that means hes literally the worst he could possibly get at all times.
The delicacy with which he dances that line between comedic genius and horrid harlequin disaster was really something to behold. I really have enjoyed the more serious moments of CoS, but there was something just so completely believable about his character that it kind of fit the narrative. [spoiler]His death, allowing the ring to free Gideon creates one of the coolest shifts that the story has seen so far. [/spoiler]Obviously nobody wants to see the show go completely off the rails, but I feel like you all avoided that and focused his madness in to a positive direction. Himself included. I was literally in tears from laughing so hard when [spoiler]he died and during his new character creation.[/spoiler]
Sometimes you got to look at the silver lining, and that silver lining is 600 feet. Which is 5 times the range of scorching ray.
I’ve had some practice recently wrangling madness on the Waypoint Dungeon World stream so that might have been in my head going into this game.

I love Day9 in the CoS world. Even thoe I predicted Adam would kill him the sec he had a chance, the fast rebuilding of a new hero is just making the experience for me even better. I miss Geoff, but I realy think Day9 did an amazing job and his new super hero Gnomi will be very nice to follow in the next episodes.
Keep up the amazing work!
day9tv IS the chaos.
That was the best character creation session I have ever seen.
Welcome Day9 to CoS. Your first episode was historical. The cast created so many laugh out loud moments that I am sure people think I have gone mad. No regrets though
