Warforged Artificer

I'm pretty excited for D&D on Friday night. I haven't played it in a long time, and we've got a party of 5 people playing this time, and an actual DM, so it should be fun.

I'm playing a Warforged Artificer. Basically that means I'm a robot who makes machines and enchants things. I thought it would be a nice change of pace from my usual Elf/Human - whatever-the-fuck-has-big-swords. And now that I'm reading up on it more thoroughly I am finding that it's going to be a little complicated.

Basically I am playing a character who uses simple/melee weapons and attacks, but I have the ability to craft magical weapons that can deal crazy damage. I also have the ability to turn weapons that my allies and I wield into magical weapons by enchanting them. There's a whole system of rituals and shit that I need to figure out and it's pretty complicated. But I like it.

Also! Being a Warforged means I get all these neat little things. like the fact that I don't need to eat or sleep or breathe. Also, I have the ability, later on, to build myself a Homunculus, a little guy who I carry around (or who follows me around) who I can teach to carry out enchantments or to build weapons and items while I am doing other things. And the concept of a little robot dude following me around is ... hilarious. All in all I think it's gonna be fun to play.

Okay, that's enough of that.

I am nearing the end of the year almost, and it is becoming increasingly apparent that York isn't going to be helping me out with my money situation in any way. I just don't understand why, after jumping through ever hoop, and knowing full well the amount of money they have put away for these situations, I can't get any help. I have run into 3 barriers that were only there because I'm a design student. That doesn't make a whole lot of sense seeing as we pay much much more tuition than the majority of undergraduates here. Hell, we pay a little more than some grad students. So the fact that we pay more tuition means that we have ...less access to funding? What? I swear to god I am this close to switching to OCAD.

But ah well, the money things will be worked out somehow. I don't know how yet, but it's not going to keep me from going to school, I know that much.

Oooh, I have bananas!

Jim doesn't like this

So I got a job doing graphic design at the schools Student Centre! Woo hoo! That is pretty awesome. Money for doing something I love? Sure!

I hung out with Zack and Chris last weekend, and then I left. This concludes the things that I did this weekend.

We were talking about D&D a lot, and I think I've decided on going with a Tiefling Warlock for this party, at least for now. Tieflings have always been pretty cool, I remember reading about them in 2ndE and thinking that it might be fun to play one, but the rules on them were never really laid out that well and the way we played, I didn't really want to get into the whole meta-race, hybrid type thing.

I have a ton of assignments this week, but I plan on trying to get some work done on the new comic I'm doing. I've got a page coloured and another in the process of inking, with a bunch more sketched out, so it's coming along.

Anyhow, I gotta go get some stuff done, seeing as I am in class right now and all.

Ja ne.

I can't wait for April 2nd to come.
