Good luck! New kids are a handful. Mine turns a year next week.

As everyone else has said, Congrats! How many wee ones is this for you, Mug?

Thankee. It'll be #3 for us. :)

Oh wow. We stopped at two--you are hard core.

Well I come my a large family, so 3 doesn't seem like too many.

$10 paizo gift card for anyone who can guess how many Aunts and Uncles I have.

Eleven!

Aunts AND uncles? Do inlaws count?

@Caladius - Nope. Higher.

@Corneleous - No. Just the blood children of my grandparents. There's no tricky YoursMineOurs, or divorce or remarriages either. Just 2 couples having kids. How many direct aunts and uncles?

:)

My mom's oldest brother had 5 children with his wife and then they decided to adopt another 5 more. And here I thought that side of my family was huge! =P

It probably is! :) My perception is just skewed. :)

I'll go for lucky 13!

Nope. Higher. :)

I better make this the last hint or else it'll get solved by elimination with 5 more guesses.

That is... a lot. Sixteen?

Nope!

I'm going to lock in at 15.

I met the Duggars in Arkansas- had to duck under the cameras when they were filming where I was working.

14!

No and No. Good guesses though.

Ava is our last guesser I believe. :)

oh... er... I guess seventeen is the logical next step.

Everyone, great guesses one and all!

My Grampy and Gran had 17 kids all on their own. 10 sisters and 7 brothers. Don't get me started on how many cousins I have.

My Grandpa and Grandma had 7 kids. 4 girl, two boys.

Grand total of direct aunts and uncles = 24.

Thanks for playing everyone, next time I'll say 'the closest guess without going over' so we'll almost certainly have a winner!

Can someone tell me why I had the crazy idea that firing a crossbow did not create an AoO?

Cause it does... and I can't figure out why I thought it didn't.

That's a good question, Mug. Making any ranged attack provokes an AoO, even firing off a quickened ray spell would provoke in that regard. The Crossbow Mastery feat let's you negate the AoO though. I'm sure there are other ways to mitigate it, but that's the one I'm familiar with off the top of my head.

AND SHEESH! Holidays must be NUTSO for your family! Hockety Pockety!

To say the least.

Oh yeah. While there's a slight break in combat, we need to sort out this:

Potions
Gaseous Form x4
CMW x6
Lesser Restoration x6

Scrolls
Heal
Remove Curse
Scrying
Dispel Magic (CL 10) x3
Erase (CL 10) x3
Sunburst
True Seeing

Wand
Restoration (13 charges)
Break Enchantment (8)
Death Ward (7)

Ava wants some of those Gaseous Form potions for sure, as well as a Lesser Restoration and a CMW.

Oh that reminds me. The two downed sisters had 2 mwk crossbows, 23 poisoned bolts, 1 potion cmw, 2 potions restoration, 2 bladed scarves.

It seems like those in melee should take the CMW, lesser restoration, and restoration potions.

Enko should take the heal and remove curse scrolls; Corneleous or Enko should take the True Seeing scroll; Corneleous should take the sunburst, erase, detect magic, and scrying scrolls (Sabinus could use the detect magic and scrying spells, but he's fine with Cornelous taking them).

Sabinus and Enko can both use the restoration and death ward wands. Sabinus, Enko, or Corneleous can use the break enchantment wand. Any feelings about who should carry the wands?

Sabinus wouldn't mind holding onto one of the gaseous form potions.

Enko can take death ward and break enchantment, as they are touch and short range spells respectively. Sabinus, you should take the restoration wand; it's out of combat only.

I agree that we should split up the restorative potions among the front liners.

Cool, cool.

We'll give Ava, Caladius and Lucon 2 lesser restoration and CMW pots each, with Lucon and Caladius getting one normal restoration as well.

Ava'll split the gaseous forms with Sabinus, unless somebody else wants them.

The rest we'll divide as Sabinus and Enko have said. Tables updated, sans the gold values of the scrolls and wands.

...am I not a front-liner? :) I feel positively sidelined!

Don't worry, side-liners are important too! ;)

Well yeah, but you also have a ton of healing options available to you already.

I will probably remain un-hittable for a few more levels anyhow. After that, low CON monks can get one-shotted, so we'll see.

did we use up that other 9-charge CLW wand? I need to adjust me wand...had it in Hero Lab as full charges...

Ava's holding onto it for now, for use with UMD. Still got a bunch of charges in it. We've got like, three wands of it now.

Good for many a fight!

nB: I'll be traveling this weekend. Posts will be infrequent until Tuesday.

Please use Enko to stagger many nuns. That doesn't sound right...

No baby yet but two false labors.... ugh.

So work is sapping my will to live these days, and my wife can't sleep and I'm having trouble getting onto the boards. Please be patient as I try to get myself some wiggle room to post.

You are not forgotten!

No worries. Good luck!

Hope all is going well with the pregnancy, Mug! =D

Indeed, and with the delivery and subsequent bouncing baby!

I've no doubt you're super busy, Mug, but just wanted to express my hopes that your wife had an uncomplicated delivery and that you and your growing family are all doing well! =)

Yes, indeed! The same wishes from this corner as well.

Thirded. May all be well with you and yours, Mug!

Baby was born yesterday! Finally!

I haven't even been on Paizo since my last message, too much going on and wife needed lots of help and work on top of that was smothering. But now the baby is out! woohoo! Everything is smooth sailing from here on out! ;)

I got a week off of work now and plan on catching up and getting things rolling again right soon.

Baby was born yesterday! Finally!

Everything is smooth sailing from here on out! ;)

Famous last words!

Best wishes and congrats to the family!

Wonderful news. Congratulations and enjoy the newborn honeymoon before the sleep deprivation begins in earnest. Of course, you already know the drill!

Fantastic news, Mug!

Let's face it--the sleep deprivation never ends, but Pathfinder PbP assuages the pain of life. ;)

Hey folks, still here and trying to get into a rhythm that doesn't involve me having no free time. :)

My wife's getting more and more recovered and I'm trying to get back to the boards. Thanks for the patience!

Take your time, Mug! In the interim, we can spar. :D

Ditto. Although Sabinus will probably just watch the sparring.

C'mon, you can Fly and Slumber. You'd win. Except against Caladius' bow.

None of you would win! I'll make sure of it!
