Chronicles of the Silver Rose Company
Game Master
Patrick Curtin
This campaign is my attempt to play a canonical Planescape campaign using the updated Pathfinder ruleset. The game actually predates the release of Pathfinder, but we have managed to update as we have needed.
Guy I hope all went well with Earl. It was a dud here, didn't even knock the tomatos off my plants.
As an aside, I will begin my re-employment phase Monday, InShah Allah, and I am not sure how this will affect my posting. I will keep y'all posted as to any shifts in the schedules.
Sorry, been busy, had to paint my stage, clean my house (THAT was not fun!) drain, clean, reset up the pool,... all for a party for the now-11 yr old.
Tomorrow, I BBQ! :)
So If I'm slow on the responses,... sorry, but,... BBQ! :D
Glad Earl seems to be a miss for you Pat!
ANd yeah, that was fun, although I wonder if Justin should have done as well as I did. I had some funny posting problems. (Apparently they worked in my favor!)
Anyway, that could EASILY have gone south VERY quickly! What if none.,or only 1 had made a will save? VERY different story!
In other words, I think your doing just fine PAt! Just because it was (relatively) easy THIS time doesn't mean another run-through would be!
Will level up by/on Monday. Justin will be happy to take teh Figurine. Will try to not be greedy next treasure trove! ;P Lvl up,... COOL!
See ya all, and happy Labor day! (WHich means we get a day off, and did I mention BBQ?!?)
:D
Pat would you be willing to overlook the 1st level requirement of this feat? I figure he fulfills the planetouched aspect pretty well.
Dreadful Wrath
[Regional]
You are terrible to behold in battle, and few foes have the heart to face you without quailing.
Prerequisite: Human ( Rashemen), k uo-toa (Underdark [ Sloopdilmonpolop]), or planetouched (Impiltur, the Silver Marches, Thay, or Western Heartlands)
Benefit: When you charge, make a full attack, or cast a spell that either targets an enemy or includes an enemy in its area, you gain the frightful presence ability for that round. Each enemy within a 20-foot radius of you must succeed on a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 your character level + your Cha modifi er) or be shaken for 1 minute. Regardless of its success or failure on the saving throw, any creature exposed to this effect is immune to your frightful presence for the next 24 hours. This is an extraordinary morale effect.
Special: You may select this feat only as a 1st-level character. You may have only one regional feat.

Hmmm. Well, that's a corker. Where did you dig up that bit o'splat? =P
I would say conditionally yes, just because I am a big believer in 'give the people what they want', but I would perhaps modify the length. 1 minute is 10 combat rounds. Maybe 1d4 rds? I'm gonna have to think on it, because that feat is a real gamechanger.

He hasn't prepared it yet, since we haven't rested since leveling up, but Isaac's ranger spell is Lead Blades from the APG. I'm assuming it's okay, but I just want to double check with you. I thought it fit his theme pretty well, being a Godsman and a blacksmith and would let him pack a little more punch in melee.

Not a problemo. You guys are getting hard to design encounters for, but I relish a challenge =P
Besides, I was cruising Green Ronin's Book of Fiends and there is some sweet CR15-20 stuff in there ... >=)
Heh, not until I can take that feat that makes even fire-resistant/ immune creature take dmg from my fire spells! hehehe,... :D
FINALLY lvl'd up Justin (and Elgan, but that's another thread, no relation) I just need to add his 2 new spells into his spellbook, and add his new spells to his mem of the day list!
Anything interesting in the APG for a firey caster? Or part-time summoner?
Quick question guys: Issac commented about fumbles. I own the fumble and critical hit decks. Any consensus on using them? If we wanted, I could draw a card for each confirmed crit/fumble.
Heh. Brings back memories of my old 1E days. We used to use a critical hit and fumble tables that we wrote ourselves. I believe 00 (100) was "Decapitated, instant death"
Try figuring out how THAT happens when your holding a staff! ;P
I'm a bit ambivalent about using them, I haven't looked at these new decks. I'll go with the majority on it though. It might be fun! (If I hate them later, I can always change my mind, right? Right?!?) ;)
Sure, why not? I mean, I already nearly broke one of my daggers an adventure or two ago from a few bad rolls, why not spread the minor penalties around.

Well, as long as it doesn't have this sort of stuff on it. Minor penalties from critical misses? Fine. Disembowling yourself with your own sword by accident? That's just a bad parody of Hackmaster.
James Keegan(Male(s) 27 Ducks in a James suit Duck 27/ Expert 5)
I'm in favor of them, even if you wanted to start with Isaac right now. The fumbles can be pretty funny at times and every now and then the crits really come in handy.
Well Personally I find these charts and cards usually hurt the players more then the bad guys but the Paizo cards seem fun. I'm a bit torn. I'll abstain from voting.

Hm,... Isn't that statement is a bit redundant? ;P (heheh)
Actually my favorite memory involved my PC, using a lightsabre, (don't ask, I'm still not sure how that happened as it was WAY before Star Wars D20) and I kept rolling 'take dmg, roll again' on the fumble chart! The DM ruled that I tripped, and rolled over my own lightsabre several times! I think I took out half my own HP that time! :(
1. Abstain
3. For it
2 Will go for whatever the majority wants
So no real 'no ways' yet, so I am thinking NEXT battle we can institute them. Unless anyone has a major issue.
Oh, and I have read through the fumble/crit decks and the penalties have no 'instadeaths' or the like. They do call out areas of damage and the like, but I usually try to do that anyway...
Hey; Pat; do you like them fumbcrit decks? Thinking about looking for them one of these days...
I've only gotten to use them a few times. I find they are fairly mellow, nothing like the old 1e ones that really could ruin someone's day, LOL. I like having a real interesting effect for a crit/fumble.
I know right? Poor khaasta never knew what hit them. What's next Rags? Napalmball? =P
Don't. Tease. Me.
(Where are those rules for making your own spells?!?)
:D
Anyone else read Nodwick? My favorite is the one where Artax (crazy old wizard FYI) took all of his old wands with only 1 or 2 charges left, and wizard-glued them together in a big bundle, then gave them all the same command word. The command word? ABRACAPOCALYPSE! ;)
It didn't kill the demon, but it DID take it a while to climb out of the hole he made,... ;D
Just a heads up from the 2nd of October till the 9th I will be away on holiday and I'm not sure if I will have internet access or not so if I go quiet that's why (also feel free to DMPC me)
Hey all. Sorry about the spotty posting, life kinda kicked into high gear. I should have a little time to post up for today and tomorrow, InShah Allah, so we will try to wrap up the Khaasta seige.
Okay I'll just explain Merle's plan here. Long story short it is a variation of the clawboy plan. Merle plans to use the scroll of Alter self and Tongues to disguise herself as one of the Khassta (using some of the captured Khassta's uniform if needed) She will then pretend to be one of the survivors from earlier Khassta assault and pretend to be using Pounce (if she agrees)as a human shield as protection till she gets to the door and they hopefully let her in. Once the dooris open Isaac and Ekuur both Invisable rush in and secure the door.

Sounds like a plan. Which building, the tower or three story structure?

Hm.
Brash, spur-of-the-moment, reckless, dangerous, outside the box,...

Whichever building the slaver boss is in (hoping one of the prisoners know.

Sounds like a plan. Just keep in mind I'd be invisible, but Ekuur is anything but silent ...
Guys, I better take an official hiatus from this game for now. No reason, just need a bit of a break. Just have Swire show these berks their proper place until I get back and everything will be fine and dandy.

No worries Davi, we all have our times when we need a break. Hope to see you back soon.
