I'm feeling a A Few Good Men "...you can't handle the truth!" vibe in this exchange. :)

Until the funeral scene plays out, Red Eyes is still taking wagers.
You know, Reincarnate works on non-humanoids. . . .
Kip Bendybrook |
I was merely pointing out that until confirmed dead... the betting line was still open.
And yes, I am sure that there will be discussions about bringing the honored dead back when this is over... that is if any of us remain to discuss it! :P

Thank you in advance.

He doesn't actually know that Vaysh is not with his people, I think he is torn between leaving the men defending the castle to die and a large number of his people...it is the Star Trek "No Win Scenario".
If we only had teleport...I could pull out I don't believe in the know win scenario...
Kip Bendybrook |
No worries. Just Kip being Kip... who knows what (if anything) is the "right" choice here. :)
Kip Bendybrook |
Check out the shiny new character class tags!
PS Did we earn any XP for our troll ambush encounter? :)
Kip Bendybrook |
I was not petitioning for XP... and I know we need downtime to level up... I was just catching up on some "paper work", and being thorough. :)

I have been considering using the Warpath third party book for mass combat, instead of the Kingmaker rules which frankly are a bit simplistic for my tastes.
Using Warpath instead will make the mass combat a little more wargamey so what do people think? We're still many, many levels under when I expect mass combat to become a large part of the game but having ran a small mass combat with NPC's i'm a little disappointed with the lack of options.
I will be researching Warpath in greater detail myself so I can have an informed opinion- but if people are shy of a more wargamey mass combat system we can steer clear of it. I will probably in that case, customise the kingmaker mass combat rules to suit me.
Kip Bendybrook |
Is fine with me, whatever you decide. A happy DM is always a good thing! ;)
Kalev Lehola |
I don't mind "gamey" (as my board game collection can attest to), so whatever you like.

Now i've set up Shortkeys macros to automate perception and initiative rolls, i'd appreciate it if people try and remember to tell me if these bonuses change. I will do an audit at level ups but equipment purchases for example may affect these things without me noticing. Letting me know lets me edit my shiny new shortkeys (I typed the following with six letter commands, its so freaking awesome).
Currently-
Casimir- 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20
Malthir- 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (9) - 1 = 8
Fenna- 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19 (GM reminder- +cha mod at night)
Ricter- 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29
Kalev- 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16 (GM reminder- terrain bond)
Kip- 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Casimir- 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
Malthir- 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (2) + 0 = 2
Fenna- 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (8) + 0 = 8
Ricter- 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
Kalev- 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21 (GM reminder- Terrain Bond)
Kip- 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Ok i'll give Warpath a detailed once over and report my findings. I'm not expecting any mass combat in chapter 3, but I didn't expect it in this chapter either to be fair :P.
My only concern is that more complex rules leads to more need to pay attention to them so you don't create some force that will get blown off the map due to the way the rules work.
I am okay either way but the nice part to these rules is that is takes about 30 minutes to learn them.DM Alexander Kilcoyne |
A fair comment- I do like the simplicity of the KM ones... but at the same time basing it all off just CR and HD makes it over-simplified for me.
I'm also finding it extremely swingy where one good roll obliterates a clearly superior army- I suspect that elements gets better at higher CR armies though.
Ricter Vorsk |
Like Kalev, I'm no stranger to wargaming and like the idea of a more detailed set of mass combat rules. That said, I haven't encountered Warpath before. Is the a link to an online copy?
Also, it looks like Nagrundi's readied actions wasn't just 'attack the first guardian to get into grabbing range'. That's a bit worrying. The only thing worse than charging at a huge two headed troll is charging at a huge two headed troll that has a plan.
DM Alexander Kilcoyne |
Ok- drat. I hate retcons.
Kalev's AC was not up to date- he has the Amulet of Natural Armour +1 in his gear but it wasn't reflected in his AC line on the profile.
This means the first hit of Great Cleave was a miss and thus the second and third could not happen- Kalev, Ricter and Malthir please give yourselves a ton of damage back in HP. I'm not willing to allow any actions to be changed in addition to this retcon- Ricter is still fighting defensively etc.
Please always keep profiles up to date to avoid this kind of thing :).
Now I have no reason to hold back when Nagrundi gets his full attack... You have been warned.
DM Alexander Kilcoyne |
From my MSN- made me giggle.
Alex Kilcoyne says
poor Fenna
i was worrying she'd arrive to a rout
lol
Jacob says
"I'm here! Wait, what....we are running the other way now?"
Lol
Alex Kilcoyne says
'JUST RUN FASTER THAN THE GNOME'
kalev reckons he will need another gallant inspiration
he believes your swift actions are a luxury, not a right
(ok i made that last bit up)
Jacob says
yeah, I'm negotiating with him now. It's not as if I'm using them for anthing else right now - my 2nd levels spell slots, however
Alex Kilcoyne says
mmm you have a point
you might need glitterdust to illuminate fenna
if you rout
Jacob says
Rofl
Alex Kilcoyne says
you need to make sure kip doesn't save her with Vanish
Kalev Lehola |
I apologize for sparing us for the 70 points of damage ;)
And for the record, I had completely accepted a "Tough luck" from you, Alex, if you didn't want to retcon.
Kip Bendybrook |
I'm using HeroLab to keep track of the numbers. For some reason, the attack bonus is 2 higher than it is supposed to be.
Check your tabs (ie Adjust or Conditions) to see if you have something checked you shouldn't have (ie charge).
Kip Bendybrook |
The glitterdust wouldn't be needed... Fenna's vanish expires this round. :(
Great timing. :P
And yes Kip would try and save her. :)

I went ahead and just added the LOH's back...didn't make any other difference for me.

If you're still connected to it, you can clear them by selecting restore factory defaults on your router settings (possibly under the tools, or reboot menu), otherwise there's usually a pinhole button you can press with the end of a paperclip, while it's turned on, that achieves the same effect.

Thank you very much! That worked. Other people see "DM AK's Kingmaker"; I see "Tech Support." :D

Lol, your always welcome in our discussion thread Joana, be it for posting, mockery, lurking, tech support or any combination of the aforementioned.
What he said. :)
