I think we may need to look for a replacement GM. Baerlie hasn't posted in our game in two weeks, and hasn't posted in any game she's GMed since April 10 either.
Hi everyone! I volunteered to take your game in the recruitment forum. Can everyone report in? I'll get things moving in Gameplay later today or tomorrow morning.
That leaves Hiram and Tytus, right? Does anyone have a good way to contact them?
I haven't prepped this scenario before, so I'm doing some reading tonight.
No problem. You aren't later than I am. I spent today's post cycle making sure that Baerlie wasn't going to take back over after all. We should all be good now and I'll try to post in the morning before work. Sorry for the extra delay everyone.
OK, we're still missing Tytus but I think I'm up and running. I'll send them a private message to see if we can get them back. I have a 'Lion Maps' link in my post header now. Try it and make sure you have edit rights. I can prep minis for you guys if you need, but feel free to make your own and drop it on the first page.
Archibald, do you need me to make a mini for your character? I'd like everyone to be on the map.
I've never played a kineticist, so I had no idea. All good though!

Two things
1) GM if you could take a glance at Magnetism the kineticist ability. Does it allow a CMD to basically 'bull rush' toward me? I ask because the wording is a little odd and that is how it has been ruled for me at my home tables.
2) Should it come into play Obsidean has 45% negation of criteria and sneak attack.
The only magnetism anything I'm seeing in the rules is a Magnetic Infusion that specifically isn't about bull rush. Is there another ability I'm not seeing? Do you have a reference?

Saving Throw none; SR yes
You can push and pull metal objects using magnetism. This functions as telekinetic maneuvers but you can make only bull rush and dragAPG combat maneuvers, and can do so only against metal objects or creatures. If you use this ability on an attended metal object, you must exceed the creature’s CMD as normal, and if it’s holding the object, it must drop it or this ability pushes or pulls the creature.
You can perform combat maneuvers as telekinesis, but you use your Constitution modifier to determine your Combat Maneuver Bonus rather than your Intelligence or Charisma modifier. If you possess the telekinetic finesse wild talent, add dirty trick and steal combat maneuvers to the list of combat maneuvers you can perform; when performing these maneuvers, determine your Combat Maneuver Bonus using your Dexterity modifier instead of your Constitution modifier.
Is the save for Obsidian a Fort?
Bull Rush is always away as far as I've ever seen it. Drag could be toward you though. What book is that in?

Elemental Master's Handbook (a splatbook)
I figured it could be in any direction because it ends up being as per telekinesis, which I believe is, but your ruling is what matters.
Also, out of curiosity, what effect is causing a will save vs paralysis? (The only thing that I can think of is Hold Person, which doesn't affect me because I'm a tiefling)
Ugh. That's a good point on the paralysis. The effect does mimic Hold Person. The enemy would be able to recognize you as non-humanoid easily, though. He has options I could switch to, but you passed the save anyhow so it doesn't matter. Go ahead and take your turn.
No. That's what I get for trying to rush a post during lunch break. Your prior rolls can stand.
A minor rules item that I want to point out because it's a pet peeve of mine, although in your case no correction is needed. Archibald has been casting for the last two rounds with a heavy shield in one hand and his weapon in another. I see this nonsense all the time from Paladins and the like. It's no bueno. You can't do somatics like that. (Bucklers and light shields work since you can move your weapon to the shield hand and back after the cast.)
Archibald and Hiram both have a class feature from their bard archetype that means there's no problem (they can do somatics with their bonded weapon) in this case. It's cool that it isn't a problem for them.
Amusingly, I looked up the wikipedia article for real-world wolfsbane (the thing Hiram is poisoned with) today. The description in the toxicology section sounds decidedly unpleasant.
I'm tied up with errands and such for the next day or two. I should be posting again by Sunday if not before.
I'm trying to do something about the map at the top. I'm not technically the GM of the campaign, though, and I can't edit that stuff. For now, I deleted the map floor. Please just try to ignore it until I can get that resolved.
No worries. Every pbp game I have is the same, or close enough. Enjoy the convention.
Ugh. I was just ready to post this morning and paizo.com decided to eat it. I'll try to get to it tonight. The map already represents the enemy movement as a result.
Gaius, if you want to take an action for this turn, please do it soon.
I'm looking into it. Additionally, it won't matter for the rest of this round. The two of you broke the door down whether or not he had 6 extra damage on. Let's not stop the action.
