Voren, Paizo rules state your current outfit worn is not included in weight.
Okay. Thank you for that, Arthas. I wasn't too sure.
I have no problem with giving you the scroll of dimensional lock. I checked and it's the only thing that could be, there's no such thing as a dimensional lock, so it can only be a scroll.
Also, thanks for your understanding.
Thank you, Karthak.
Also, what do you guys think of the potential new players
I'll get an ic post tomorrow. I still have some more shopping to do.
As for new players I'm generally wary of those who "want to try out a character", in my experience they are not commited to the game but just want to try out whatever they built, and once they are done they leave. Also we have 4 male characters, personally I wouldn't mind a bit of diversity... :P
Random question: Do I have my spells right? The number of spells I know, how many I can prepare, etc.
Still here. I'll post tomorrow.
Greetings gentlemen, your healbot is checking in. I'll wrap up the loose ends on character design this afternoon or evening, but I just wanted to say thanks for the invite!
Hello everybody, here's your cheerful bard, how can I help you? So glad to be here :-)
Nice to have you all here. Camris, does this mean our team is now up to seven?
Hi everyone! Happy you can join us.
As for the game I suppose we should wait for GM Camris to post an introduction to you, but maybe you could post your introduction yourselves. At the moment we are stationed at Defender's Heart, a fortified tavern that is the last bastion of the scattered crusader forces in Kenabres. We just brought back an inportant piece of evidence detailing the Baphomet's cultists involvement in the fall of the city and a list with the names of the betrayers. We are currently shopping before we are given a new quest.
Great lets roll!
Welcome to the new members!
(Yes, you are seven now.)
At the moment the heroes are hiding, along with a couple hundred other survivors of the assault on Kenabres, in an old stone inn known as Defender's Heart. At the moment, you're trapped with numerous demons wandering the city, though oddly, the high powered ones seem to have left.
There is even a selection of merchants in the old Ballroom where you can buy and sell stuff.
I would like for you, in the Gameplay Thread, to post the circumstances that led for you to survive the initial assault that overran the city, how you came to find your Silver Scale of Terendelev, how you ended up here in Defender's Heart, and how the people around you react to you (are you Famous? Shabby? Look like a demon? Wear the uniform of an order of Knights? Do you boast? Sing? Fade into anonymity?)
Lisandra Elsinore
The power of your Scale is:
Glittering: Three times per day as a standard action, a scale can be used to cast Glitterdust, however creatures that fail their save are not blinded, but suffer a 20% miss chance on all attacks for 19 rounds.
Dakota Bloomingdale
The power of your Scale is:
Disguise: Three times per day as a standard action, a scale can be used to cast alter self. While disguised, the target gains a +4 bonus on all Bluff checks made against evil creatures.
lavdi
The power of your Scale is:
Sparking: Three times per day as a standard action, a scale can be used to cast Deadeye's Arrow, the arrow may be used as an attack dealing 1d6+5 electricity damage or as a beacon (see spell text)
Welcome to the table, all! Sorry for my silence--I've been exceedingly busy the past few days, and since I didn't have to purchase anything else in game I haven't been checking the boards as much.
Hnnngh. Still figuring out what kind of animal companion Jokum should get this level (since the other option for hunter's bond is such crap). Torn between a badger and a wolf. The wolf is the classic, iconic choice, and a better combatant. But I kinda like the idea of Jokum trailing around an...equally irritable and terse animal companion. :P
Thoughts?
I know, that's what I love about it! Gotta love the badger rage. It fits Jokum's personality. (And we don't really need the extra firepower with 7 PCs, honestly.)
Wolverine? Jokum?
I think a badger might be fine in terms of animal companions.
Take what you feel suits you best. A badger or a wolf, either one is a solid choice.
Is Dakota still with us?
Yes of course she is! She's listening intently, with a very serious expression on her face, despite the fact that she knows very little of the current situation.
(She's also secretly taking notes for the play she's going to write when this is over ;-) ).
If there's nothing more that can be done here I vote for a flash forward and get into action! Who's with me?!?! :P
Haha I didn't read this before making my gameplay post; my bad. If we do flash forward, here's what Jokum needs to do:
1) Acquire his badger familiar.
2) figure out that he can cast spells now
3) Spend some money, maybe to enchant his sword. Arthas, I know you intended to use that money on his bow, but since he has the cold iron arrows that don't break, I think his sword might make more strategic sense. I do end up in melds a lot, and it'd be good to have a magic weapon I can use when a foe is too close for the ranseur.
Hey, Jokum. Just some thoughts on your points:
1) Maybe the badger was once the companion of another ranger and is currently in the market. Maybe it's very ornery and the vendor is desperate to get rid of it because of the trouble it causes (so much so, he gives it away for free). Maybe Jokum feels some kind of connection/bond to it.
2) As for spells, maybe Jokum feels some new power flowing through him and he accidentally casts a spell.
3) I don't mind if you get a better sword. Should help us out.
okay, Jokum I'll give you 2k for the sword and I will keep the rest for a +1 ring that will be easy to pass to other party members if I outgrow it, unless Voren needs the money for his bag still.
Voren, did you remember to put the armored bravers and +1 Morning star on your character sheet?
Yes. They're on the sheet and the effects have been calculated. Also, I don't need the bag yet. I'm still at a light load.
Also, I'm curious as to what mythic abilities everyone will take when we hit mythic. I'm still trying to make my own decisions.
Speaking of feats Camris, are you at all opposed to the Divine Protection feat? It's from the ACG, and would go a long way to help toughen Lisandra up at 5th level, but some GM's aren't crazy about it.
Yeah, Camris. Are we able to take feats and spells from ACG?
As for mythic, I was also thinking about taking mythic spellcasting. I was also originally going to take the Legendary Item abilities (along with Craft Ring). But I recently decided against it since it costs so much of my abilities and feats. I'll now take things that affect my healing capabilities, spells, hexes, familiar, etc.
Also, I'm planning on taking Improved Familiar. Any recommendations? I do have some ideas. But I'd like to hear your opinions.
That's a tough choice for me too. Dakota's natural path would be Trickster, but Marshal has a lot to offer that would fit her theme. I feel like a child in a candy store, my eyes are going wide and I can't make up my mind...
Karthak is a defender but you should have chosen an appropriate trait at the beginning of the AP, that's what determines what kind of mythic character you become IIRC the player's guide.

True, but:
"Path Dabbling (Su): Select one path ability from another mythic path. You must meet any other requirements that path ability has, including a minimum tier restriction."
;-)
Just to inform you that I'll be out this weekend. Please bot Dakota as you see fit. Thank you.
does anyone have a link to this Mythic stuff?
I'm planning on going Hierophant and Dual Path with Archmage. During the last game I was in, the GM didn't have us restricted on mythic paths based on the campaign traits. Though, I'm sure people would be concerned if we wind up having 3 hierophants (Voren, Lisandra, and Iavdi). I thought it would be good since both paths of abilities that help with Voren's build.
Dakota, either the Trickster or Marshal path does seem to work out for bards.
Arthas, here is the pfsrd.com link on mythic heroes. It includes that universal abilities and separate links to each path. As to what Karthak was talking about traits determining mythic path, in the player's handbook, each campaign trait has what path that the trait is associated with at the end. For example, Voren has the Riftwarden Orphan campaign trait. That means that, traditionally, the PC would take up the Archmage mythic path. There are also mythic feats that mythic characters can take. EDIT: Ninja'd by Dakota!
Iavdi, Craft Wondrous would be okay with me. I really haven't seen Voren taking it. But I can if needed (though, I would need to work my build around). I originally thought you were going for dual pathing both hierophant and champion, since Iavdi was a battle style cleric/oracle.
So, let's break it down:
- Voren: Dual pathing Hierophant/Archmage
- Iavdi: Hierophant
- Dakota: Trickster w/ path dabbling to Marshal
- Karthak: Guardian (I'm assuming from what you said about being a defender and his campaign trait)
- Lisandra: Hierophant
- Arthas: ? (His campaign trait is the same as Karthak's, so it's assumed that he'll be a Guardian. However, Arthas can find some good stuff for paladins in the Champion and Marshal paths.)
- Jokum: ? (His campaign trait implies that he'll go for the Champion path. Though, he can find some use from the Marshal path.)
So we seem to be okay. Yeah, the three Hierophants might be odd. But, it could work depending on the abilities we take. Some might wind up as support hierophants while others are healing hierophants. Voren, for example, would probably take abilities for his healing, summoning spells, familiar, and hexes. Things like that.
It doesn't seem like we're restricted on paths by traits. But it's Camris's final say.
Also, in the handbook, for each trait, it says what to do if more than one character has the same trait (usually, it's related by family). Though, from what I'm seeing, Camris isn't making that a requirement.
