Bad to the Bones (A Rappan Athuk campaign) (Inactive)

Game Master Eric Swanson

Glad you're back. Take care of yourself. Witchdoctor's orders.

Yeh, get better and take care. Kobolds don't have the constitution that duegar do.

Thanks for the well-wishes guys :)

HP: 1d8 ⇒ 6

Advancement complete: HP+6
Feats: Weapon Focus Short Sword, Careful Disarm
+1 rank to: Acrobatics, Climb, Disable Device, Escape Artist, Knowledge (Dungeoneering, Planes, Local & History), Perception, Slight of Hand & Stealth.
I still need to double check my stat line for errors but otherwise am good to go.

Picked up Misfortune Hex this level so now I have something to do against all the stuff that's immune to Slumber.

Also, Limp Lash, Shadow Anchor and Command Undead (Shade's never getting away from me now).

I can now command 4 HD of undead in addition to creatures controlled with the Command Undead spell. I'm starting to feel like a real Necromancer.

I'm having a bit of a character crisis. I'm trying to work out a way to get Animate Dead at 5th or 6th level. Right now I have to wait until 8th level, which seems a bit silly considering that the character is supposed to be a necromancer.

GM, would you allow me to spend Hexes or Feats (Extra Hex) to "pay for" the ability to take the Gravewalker archetype in addition to the Scarred Witch? They have a lot of overlap in the hexes they replace, so I was thinking that if I just paid for the hexes it might work. What do you think?

Finally I'll get my Wandering Spirit which will help make Malzii much more flexible in what she can do! Working tonight so I'll get her leveled up when I get home in the morning.

Praetor: I am going to have to say no to your suggestion since both Archetypes replace the same class feature (Familiar) with different abilities (Fetish Mask and Spell Poppet). You could retrain your archetype if you wanted to however.

Alright. Worth a shot. I guess I'll just have to make due controlling undead I come across rather than creating my own for a while. I think being a Scarred Witch is too much a part of Grey's character to retrain.

Level 4

HP: 1d8 ⇒ 8 + 2 Con + 1 FCB = 11 HP
+1 BAB
+1 Will
+1 Wisdom
+1 1st Level Spells/Day
+1 2nd Level Spells/Day
+5 Skill Points (Kn. Nature, Kn. Planes, Kn. Religion, Perception, Spellcraft)
Hex: Fortune
Gain Wandering Spirit (Su): At 4th level, a shaman can form a temporary bond with a spirit other than the one selected using her spirit class feature. She must make this selection each day when preparing her spells. While this feature is active, she gains the spirit ability granted by the spirit. She also adds the spells granted by that spirit to her list of spells that she can cast using spirit magic. She does not add the hexes from her wandering spirit to her list of hexes that she can choose from with the hex class feature. At 12th level, she gains the abilities listed in the greater version of her wandering spirit. At 20th level, she gains the ability listed in the true version of her wandering spirit.

Think that's everything :)

P.S. Komm, how should I handle the new spells gained per level for Grezzor?

Grezzor: I would just pick the spells normally as per the rules. Were there specific spell you had in mind to select?

EDIT: Also I show you as having 32 HP total instead of 36.

Hey Malzi-

Would you be interested in taking Coven Hex and starting a coven with Grey at 9th level?

I'm considering taking leadership to turn one of the Orc cohorts into my apprentice (or something like that). Then I want to pick up the Collar of the Unbound Coven.

Members of a coven get some pretty awesome benefits. It would be very with the price of one feat for you.

Grezzor: I would just pick the spells normally as per the rules. Were there specific spell you had in mind to select?

EDIT: Also I show you as having 32 HP total instead of 36.

I was planning on taking two of the following (also want the group's input): Create Pit, Glitterdust or Invisibility.

Also, since I raised CON, I have 4 extra HP, hence the 36 ;)

@Grezzor: I vote Pit and Glitterdust

@Gray - Heck yes, that'd be awesome!

@Grezzor - I'm going to agree with Brok, I think Create Pit and Glitterdust will get the you the most mileage :)

@Grezzor- Same. Those two spells can turn the tide of a battle all by themselves.

Deal. Create Pit and Glitterdust it is then. Thanks for the input guys ;)

Sorry for the late notice. Though I posted here when I did the other games. Vacation time for me again. Leaving tomorrow and wont be back till the 20th. Camping in a crap service area so won't be posting. Bot me as needed :) Talk to you all in 12 days.

OK sounds good Arlok!

Enjoy your vacation! :)

Thanks for posting the actions for Grezzor Brok :D

I'm back, catching up.

How were your vacations? Good I hope.

Hey folks, can we please pay attention to which enemies that have been put to sleep?

Grezzor woke one up last round, and now Vargrenz has woken up the one in front of him too.

Is there something I can do differently to help with this issue?

I have no idea which ones are asleep. I was assuming the grey was unharmed, red is dead/dying, and yellow was injured. I would hope that Komm would adjust attacks as players usually do not attack sleeping enemies, unless the player has a really low wisdom, not a problem for Varg.

Vacation was good as most are unless something crazy happens.

Just have the DM put a couple of "S" on the map. If you put an enemy to sleep you can move the "S" over it or he can.

Welcome back Arlok, glad you had a good vacation!

I have no idea which ones are asleep. I was assuming the grey was unharmed, red is dead/dying, and yellow was injured. I would hope that Komm would adjust attacks as players usually do not attack sleeping enemies, unless the player has a really low wisdom, not a problem for Varg.

I have been very careful about describing the ones I target. The last time was the one directly in front of you.

I did that so Raaz could coup de grace it with his spear, but for some reason that I still don't understand he wasn't able to do that and now the goblin is awake.

At this point I'm frustrated. I'm probably coming across as more cranky than I mean to. It is hard to see your efforts undone by your allies. I'm just not sure what more I can do about this issue.

CDG may or may not be a good option. It is a full round action so if Razz goes to do it another Goblin could just give up it's action to wake it's buddy then Razz has no one to CDG. Now if the goblins just attack then yeah it should kill any that get CDG.

I did want to chime in here to say the goblins that are marked yellow are Asleep, while the grey ones are Dying. As for Praetor's actions I do think they are having an effect. Preventing an enemies attacks is always a useful thing, even if it is for just one round.

As for the CDG idea, like Arlok says, that may or may not be a good idea...he hehe.

Can Shadows perform CDGs?

Praetor: Not as RAW since it cannot deal HP damage, but the Shadow would definitely crit a helpless opponent which would automatically do double damage (2d6 STR).

Ok, great.

Since it isn't HP damage, would sleeping creatures be woken up?

Nope.

Is anyone else having trouble with the "new posts" showing up? Suddenly yesterday, it stopped for all my campaigns.

Komm. One thing that has fixed similar problems in the past is for the GM to manually change the player to inactive, and the switch the player back to active. Mind you, this was several years ago that I last had this issue.

It's actually a forum-wide thing, which Paizo is aware of. There's a couple of threads in the Website Feedback section about it. What a pain :(

Yep, same exact thing is happening to me...

It is site wide. They're working on it. The website feedback section of the board has a thread about it. Last I checked they had a fix ready, but were doing a closed-system test before implementing it.

Hey folks, I know this will seem a little sudden but I've made the decision to bow out of this game. My work schedule has been busier than usually lately and I don't look for it to change much for the foreseeable future. As a result I've made the decision to cut down my number of games (which stinks because all the ones I have right now I *really* like) but this ended up being one of the ones I feel the most okay with letting go of; I just don't have the mental energy and in some cases the time to keep up with everything currently on my plate.

It's been a pleasure playing with everyone for so long and I'll still try to pop in from time to time to read up on everyone's exploits! Good luck and have fun and hopefully Komm won't make Malzii's (likely?) demise too gruesome ;)

Sorry to see you go.

Sorry to see you go Malzii. I can tell all of you that you are indeed close to the end of your stated mission to discover a way into Rappan Athuk and also its defenses. After you all return to Mitchrod then I can remove both Raaz and Malzii from the party and the rest of you can decide what you wish to do next he he.

Well that's a bummer.

I am really sorry to see you go Malzii, and wish you would reconsider - I usually never do this, as each one of us knows best about his/her real life, but this game is not going at breakneck speed, and I honestly love your character, and your twist on the Kobold race, even though we have a lot of dungeon crawling, and naturally less chances for RP.

In any case, all the best, and hope to see you around (If you REALLY decide to leave).
