Update 3.23
Greetings, OH Members:
This past week has been very eventful! We've progressed immensely with the Dark Omens storyline, and our resident bard Ophelia has been kidnapped by one of the Masters! The Wandering Tournament is going on as well, so I hope many of you attend and participate with your characters. Summer is proving to be very active, and thank you all for everything you do to keep OH an active and interesting storyline.
Dark Omens Update: Kaput, The Head is dead, we do not know the status of Anuma, The Soul. The moonlord named "Endless One" has not been destroyed, but we know that to destroy him we must kill all those who summoned him (All Five Masters). There is one other way to kill the moonlord, but that has not been repeated to anyone yet from the person/s that know the information. Ophelia has been kidnapped by Pedur, we do not know her whereabouts at the moment.
REMEMBER: Please sign up for all quests at this time. Send an email to tesarikone (or whoever is hosting the quest).
Don't forget, if you have crafting skills it's time for you to ask for your crafting points from (psionicwanderer) . Remember with our change, CP is just CP, you don't have to split it between crafting types. If you have skills or items that give you more points, you need to claim that on your email.
WANDERING TOURNAMENT
The Wandering Tournament is HERE! Please see the information, and start taking part in the events! Please contact (iyieldtonone) for information.
I will be hosting a night to do events for the tournament this week, but please feel free at any time night or day to open up a room to host events. I'll even give you a room to open: Arts and Entertainment - OH Tournament Arena
WEEKLY CHALLENGE
Your challenge this week is to participate in at least one event for the Wandering Tournament.
Your challenge this week will earn you a free "Personal" inkantation tattoo. You may choose from any of the "Personal" tattoos, which do not take up a slot as they are just for flavor roleplay.
Submit this to me with the subject line, "Weekly Challenge", as well as what personal tattoo you'd like to have. You may do this once for each of your characters.
NEW CHARACTER BONUS & RECRUITMENT INCENTIVE
We have a new incentive to new characters! New characters will start at Crystal Adept with 30XP and 2d32 dice. They will also be given 3000gp to outfit their character.
Recruiters, if you recruit a new player (not just someone's new character), then you will receive 10XP & 2000gp per player that actually fills out an application correctly and is accepted! You may put this xp & gp on any character you wish.
CALENDAR
While it is a change to be using the Calendar System on our boards, let's try to start using it. This includes me! I will be using our Calendar system more and more, it's right across the top, click it for info. IF YOU ADD A DATE, I've added a new board called "Event Calendar" and you can link all your posts there, so if you are hosting a mission or quest, or other activity please use the calendar to let us know what's going on.
WEEKLY QUESTS & ROLEPLAY NIGHTS

WORD OF THE WEEK
Don't forget the Word of the Week! It's easy 2XP you can earn once a week on every character just within your normal roleplay! Check the message board. Learn it. Use it. Send it in.
TOTEM
: an animal or plant serving as the emblem of a family or clan; also : a representation of such an object
: a revered emblem or symbol : a person or thing that represents an idea
UPDATES
1. DM LOOT
If a DM does NOT play one of their characters during a quest, they will now be allowed to roll on the loot lists for one item they can give to any of their characters. Every level has a certain loot list you are allowed to roll on, so please be sure to see the levels and rewards to see which one you roll upon.
2. EXECUTIONER'S SHOT UPDATED
Executioner's Shot skill has been updated to add your Quickness twice instead of adding your Strength since very few ranged characters even bother to put points into quickness.
3. DEFENSE CAP REMINDER
Here is a reminder of a change that happened many months ago:
Defense now has a +30 cap. This includes everything from spells, items, etc. The only thing you can use to go over the cap are skills that add to defense or profession bonuses you might have.
You are allowed ONE skill that adds to defense, in other words if someone has Versatility and that allows them to take all the skills for each profession that adds defense, you can only use ONE to go over the +30 DEF rule.
4. HOLD SPELL REMINDER
Here is another reminder of an update we made many months ago - all Hold spells allow the target to roll a save EVERY ROUND.
to treat as an object of great interest or importance

Last Week's Answer: FOUR
This Week's Extra Credit: Answer a question for 2XP. Remember, one per player. Tell me where you want the 2XP when you reply! This question can always be found somewhere on our OH message board. (In this case, you can also gain the answer by speaking to Maria herself in roleplay, but it is also on the site!)
If you roll a "1" for your Strike, it is a Critical Fail. What do you do next?
