Welcome Aakon. This should be fun.

Welcome to the team!

With the Skald rage, can a caster still cast? Or is it like regular rage that prevents such things?

Unfortunately you still can't cast spells, only the skald can do that. Though only taking rage on turns where you don't need to cast spells is fairly advantageous.

So we ready to continue? Sir Bastion is laying in a pool of his own blood that is begining to congeal. Good thing he is stable.

Yes, Aakon please make your introduction post in the Gameplay thread.

"Pardon me, would you mind if I healed up your bloody companion lying in the dirt just there?"

You can't go wrong with that as an intro!


Alright, I'll get to writing then. I'm not all done with refitting my character and his backstory, but at this point it's not really that important is it? ^^

Fust, I've started Aakon out with and Efficient Quiver, hope that's alright?


Ok, so I've just read the last 3 pages of your adventure, since you entered the Gray Garrison, and I have one question before I post: What did you do with your horse(s)? I assume you left them outside, but that leaves me wondering why you loaded them with corpses before going in, and if they are inside with you, that's relevant to the introduction I have in mind :)

We could catch you steeling the horses :P


This was what I had in mind:

Quote:
As you discuss your current predicament, you faintly hear the sound of a horse walking outside. The sound stops a moment after you notice it, and a deep voice, muffled by the walls, exclaims: "Now that is a magnificent horse, that is!". The voice gives a short Umpf, and you hear the sound of feet on the ground.

Or do you want me to actually surprise you inside? I feel like that could go very wrong very fast unless it feels forced ^^

Edit I've got more, but I'm rather new to this PbP, so I don't know how much I can just do without you getting chance to react to it :)


By the way, his voice sounds like this:

Be wary, I've had bad tabletop experiences where the introduction was one based off an initial bad reaction. I don't think they work well. We have rational party members... and Lirrathan. if you investigate the noise or something similar, and we spot you, the odds of a conversation being the first reaction are a lot more likely.


Exactly my worry, so I was looking for input so it doesn't go totally wrong. Getting off on the wrong foot can be fun, but not if it ends in broken bones and thoughts of revenge :p

It might make sense that we knew you from the camp, or even pre-fall. Perhaps we already have reasons to trust each other.


Well it would make sense that you've seen me perhaps. You probably wouldn't know me by name, as you've been busy.

With that in mind, I think I've got it now. Posting.


I have posted.

I have also updated the mechanical aspects of my character's sheet. I took the Rage Power Celestial Blood, Lesser, giving you extra damage against evil outsiders, and making your melee weapons count as good aligned for the purpose of beating damage reduction. I considered Spirit Totem, Lesser but rolling extra attacks can be a hassle, I think. I plan to get a Linnorm Death Curse at level 6 (would take it at level 3 if I could).

I look forward to meeting your characters :)

Be careful what you ask for!


I'll rather take the chance than be careful I guess^^

By the way, I'm looking at your party composition: Is Sir Bastion on his way to become a full-fledged Oradin?


Also, my time zone is UTC +1 (Denmark).


WotR - A | Drezen | WotR - B | Righteous Medals

Yes, efficient quiver is fine.


I was wondering what Mythic Paths you guys plan to take? I'm only just reading the Mythic rules for real now, and there just seems to be so many options xD


Male High Elf Desert Rider 5 (AC: 3| HP: 46/47 | THAC0: 17 | Infravision 60')

Isn't that preselected for you when you chose your campaign trait? I'm unsure of the correlation and haven't really boned up on the Mythic stuff yet either. Sure, I've got the books, but just haven't studied it yet. I figure I'll need it for this AP at some point!


You're free to choose another path than the one the trait specifies, but you gain some bonus if you don't. You should probably start reading now, there's a lot of ground to cover - it's a bit daunting, which was why I asked here ^^


Male High Elf Desert Rider 5 (AC: 3| HP: 46/47 | THAC0: 17 | Infravision 60')

Is there a "Mythic for Dummies" guide?


There's a lot about how Mythic completely destroys games, but I have difficulty finding any real guides. And I'm not interestted in detroying games xD


Male High Elf Desert Rider 5 (AC: 3| HP: 46/47 | THAC0: 17 | Infravision 60')

In theory this AP was written specifically to accomodate Mythic.


I guess that's true... still, Just looking for myself there are some powerful interactions. Unfortunately, the skald is not as powerfully backed up as the bard, as the Mythic rules predates the class.

Dear DM, I have 2 questions:
#1 Would you allow me to use Perform (oratory) to qualify for the Greater Skald's Vigor feat, rather than Perform (song)?
#2 Would you allow for retraining of Mythic Path Abilities?

I guess you could also call them requests?

I am looking at this AP being my way to learn the Mythic system. Other than looking at the basics (description, role, classes, primary path features) of the Mythic Paths, I have avoided trying to analyze the various options.

Sir Bastion has the Touched by Divinity trait (or maybe he is just Touched), and will be following the Hierophant path. I am undecided on the path feature yet, but it is between Inspired Spell and Recalled Blessing. I figure these first few levels will help me decided based on what we encounter.

As an fyi, the name Sir Bastion as a play on Sebastian and occured at the time of his gaining his paladin's spurs. The 'Sir' portion is not intended as an honorific, and when he is called by just 'Sir' he views the speaker as using a nickname for him. I don't remember if it has come up, but if he is called Bastion, he would probably respond just the same, but with a quizical look before speaking. I am sure at times Lirrathan would like to call out 'Hey Bastard.'


Huh, I didn't notice the name play. Guess Åkon didn't either ^^

I've been staring myself blind, trying to find out what to do when we reach the mythic part. I think I know what I want to do, guess there's nothing for it but to see how that goes when we hit that particular road block I guess.


WotR - A | Drezen | WotR - B | Righteous Medals

@Runge

Question 1: I'm ok with that, oratory is spoken which can still be poetic while song is sung but still COULD be spoken poetic.

Question 2: I'm ok with it, but we'll have to come up with how long it takes and then ensure there is enough time in the campaign to allow for it.

I am not a Mithic expert or fan myself. I have played with it some, and despite liking this game and setting a lot, can't get excited about the new rule set. My limited experience is that its just more rules which creates more unintended synergies that players take advantage of. So far, it has not added to my enjoyment of the games where the rule set was used.

So I too hope to learn these rules better as they are introduced in to this game. Maybe if I learn them well I will grow to like them more.

Super busy couple of days...I'll have something tomorrow!

Sorry all, daughters been sick and I've been handservant :) Will update as I can.


No worries no worries. I can only speak for myself, but I'm not in a rush really :)


Male High Elf Desert Rider 5 (AC: 3| HP: 46/47 | THAC0: 17 | Infravision 60')

Same. Hope she feels better.

No rush to learn mythic!

Assuming you get your first mythic tier right as the module ends, that will be a while. We're only 3rd now, and book 2 lists as starting at 6th with 1 mythic tier, so we've a ways to go. We're roughly half way (maybe less) through I'd guess.


WotR - A | Drezen | WotR - B | Righteous Medals

(I'm actually handicapping you all in terms of level. Mythic is going to give you really good options and in my experience in the playtest, this AP is going too quickly through levels.)


Male High Elf Desert Rider 5 (AC: 3| HP: 46/47 | THAC0: 17 | Infravision 60')

Oh!


Good thing I checked the game before going to bed :)

I heard that this adventure goes all the way up to level 20 / mythic 10 as written, I guess we won't end quite that high then?


Male High Elf Desert Rider 5 (AC: 3| HP: 46/47 | THAC0: 17 | Infravision 60')

Worst case scenario is TPK, so no concerns. Have died before.

Hmm. Considering a wizard's power curve is pretty bad at lower level, this sort of screws over my class more than most. How about you do not handicap us until we get mythic powers? I already feel both underpowered and worried that I will run out of spells way too quickly.


WotR - A | Drezen | WotR - B | Righteous Medals

The creatures don't scale as quickly either. You will end up at 20th level, but it won't be a straight progression as the 1st book presents. There will be a couple of times where you jump 2 levels (where it makes more sense).

Trust me, I don't like killing characters, much less a TPK. I don't pull punches but I also don't try to eliminate anyone (unless it REALLY serves the story).

That said...I'll look over the rest of this book and the next 2 to make sure you'll be ok. The other group has a sorcerer who is just fine so far (same handicap).


WotR - A | Drezen | WotR - B | Righteous Medals

Hey all, sorry I won't have an update until tomorrow. Work slam.

I will be traveling starting tomorrow afternoon to attend Mid South Con where I am helping run PFS. I'll be busy and often without access to the internet so my posting will be very limited if at all. Everyone have a good weekend.


Male High Elf Desert Rider 5 (AC: 3| HP: 46/47 | THAC0: 17 | Infravision 60')

Sorry, I am in Breckenridge Colorado for a quick ski trip. I hope to have time to post some, but that did not happen this first travel day. Totally exhausted and have to get up early. I'll be home Sunday.
