Update 3.38
Greetings, OH Members:
We have huge plans coming for Anniversary Week next week. Here are some highlights:
- Activities each day.
- Daily opportunity to win things such as xp, gp, cp, loot rolls, and even a free skill slot.
- Opportunities to win badges.
- Formal party for the characters.
- Whatever else I can fit in!
You're going to be able to earn a massive amount of XP, GP and other things during this week! The more you participate, the more things you'll gain for your characters. I want this to be HUGE.
To do this, I need assistance. I cannot host something myself every day, so I'm looking for willing volunteers who will host things for me. I've got a few takers already, but I'd love to have at least 2 things per day at various times so that people in all time zones can do something every day. So, if you're willing to host a mission, run a quest (if you're a DM), host a gauntlet run, proctor activities such as sparring, arcane duels, races, marksmanship, or even just be in charge of having a public chat open such as the inne for an hour or two at a certain time LET ME KNOW! I would also accept someone running some roleplay on the message board! I need to know what you'd be interested in hosting, and the dates/times you're available so I can make a schedule. I need to know this by THIS FRIDAY.
I plan to send out a master schedule on Saturday, and pack Sunday's Update with information as well.
CRAFTING POINTS
Don't forget, if you have crafting skills it's time for you to ask for your 10 crafting points from (psionicwanderer) . If you have skills or items that give you more points, you need to claim that on your email. If you have Entrepreneur, it's time to send that in as well.
WEEKLY CHALLENGE
Your weekly challenge this week is going to be in anticipation of our Anniversary Week Celebration. I want to know how your character has grown or changed over the time they've been involved in Obsidian Heart. It doesn't have to be the actual OHAC, if you are a part of NW or something else, but just in general how has any one of your characters changed over their time in this setting. It could be you've been here a few weeks, or two years. Doesn't matter! This will be published during our Anniversary Week.
I will allow you to write this for every character if you wish, and each character who participates will gain: 5XP, 1000gp & 10CP (if applicable).
Send your entry in to (tesarikone) with the subject reading "Weekly Challenge". You must have a paragraph of at least 150 words for each submission. Please be sure you label which character you are writing about.
FALL NEW CHARACTER BONUS & RECRUITMENT INCENTIVE
This is our incentive to new characters! New characters will start at Crystal Adept with 30XP and 2d32 dice. They will also be given 5,000gp to outfit their character, as well as one roll on the low-level magical loot list.
Recruiters, if you recruit a new player (not just someone's new character), then you will receive 15XP & 5000gp per player that actually fills out an application correctly and is accepted! You may put this xp & gp on any character you wish.
CALENDAR
Be sure to check our Calendar for listings of activities each week. IF YOU ADD A DATE, connect it to a 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.
Please sign up for activities right on the boards, so the DM knows you will be there! Click the links below to sign up for each event.

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.
CAROUSE
1: to drink liquor freely or excessively
2: to take part in a drunken revel
UPDATES, PATCHES, CLARIFICATIONS
1. ANIMAL COMPANIONS
I am in the process of working on improving animal companion's skills, defenses, etc. Look for this in the next update or in early October, feel free to send me suggestions on what you'd like to see.
2. DIAMOND SKILLS
I have determined our Diamond Skills, and they will be something that you creatively determine for each of your characters when you reach a rank allowing a Diamond Skill. You can do it one of three ways:
- You can combine two skills that you already have into one Diamond Skill, freeing up those two skill slots for new skills.
- You can combine two regular loot items into one Diamond Skill, freeing up potentially two loot slots.
- You can combine one skill, and one loot item together to make a Diamond Skill just for your character. This would free up a skill slot, and potentially a loot slot.
You CANNOT use Fizzwinken items for Diamond Skills, and any other item that is determined to be too powerful. You must get this approved, and if you need assistance creating the skill then it will be offered. I'm excited about this because this will truly let you come up with a skill unique to your character based on both professions you've taken, and even special loot you've found.
