Definitely still coming. I have several 4-5 level characters, I think I'll go with switch-hitter ranger, but I'll make final decision before weekend.

Regarding the linguistics aid, I would respectfully disagree. I may not understand a language, but I can point out certain oft-repeated phrases, words, or letters. The DC 10 of such a check would be representative of whether or not I am pointing out those elements that are intrinsically helpful. The fact that Linguistics is trained only would already factor in the reality that a linguist should know what to be looking for to get a general jist of the sentence.
That said, having had to personally fight off people using aid another on knowledge skills, I'm not overly concerned should you maintain your initial position. Just makes me add Thassilonian to the list of languages that never truly lose value.

I agree with both points actually..on the language debate. While are English language is riddled with Latin phrases and Grammar styles; Latin is a dead language (like Thasalloinian). Assuming the Thasallon empire had any lasting legacy, some of their language would have dwindled down to present time. (like ancient Rome)
However, If the structure of the language was so completely unfamiliar to a person. (like most Westerners looking at Chinese characters) Then that presents a different problem. I will conclude with this thought though. Even in Mandrain Chinese certain words (pronouns and conjunctions mostly) have a commonality across all languages. And therefore a pattern develops. Pattern recognition is the basic step in any problem solving skill and a fundamental part of Cryptography; which I dare say has much in common with linguistics discovery.
So as for myself, I'd lean toward allowing the "aid another" on linguistics checks. Likewise, I have no problem with the GM making the "aid another" check more difficult as ruled in this example. I think this is one that is entirely up to the GM and part of what make's the game fun..Human umpires not electronic strike zones add drama..And we are roll-playing after all....

Looks like for gameday purposes we'll have to report the game early.
Regarding boon rolls, this is how I've been doing it for my tables.
I shall roll the boons for everyone using the initiative order (as per map slides) and GM going last. If anyone has strong objections to me rolling for the boons, let me know! I will plan to roll the boons in 10 hours.

just a quick note on the potion of feather fall..since all potions target the person drinking the potion...there are only 2 really effective ways of using this potion.
#1: Intentionally Jump!
Yes you can do this by RAW..Your character is standing on the edge of a cliff..uses a move action to retrieve his potion, 5ft steps off the cliff, and standard action to swig the potion as he plummets..(now falling like a feather)
#2 Have a readied action: This one is difficult.. because it limits you to only one move, a swift (if you have one available), and free actions, your standard action is reserved for drinking the potion as a readied action....and of coarse...the potion must already be in hand.
Example: Bob the fighter is crossing a series of elevated platforms swinging from a chain. He must make acrobatic jump checks to reach each platform. Knowing that he is in full armor and that there's a good chance he'll fall. Bob decides to draw and un-cork his potion of feather fall should he come up short on one of his jumps he intends to immediately swing the concoction in his hand.

Hey all, I need to apologize upfront. I have my weekly Thursday night AP GM session coming up. While it usually does not interfere with my PBP games, due to a recent food poisoning, and work-training this week, I've found myself backlogged in prepping for it.
As a result, I will have limited to no updates on my games from here on until Friday morning (Malaysia). I expect things to be back to normal immediately on Friday as it is a public holiday here.
Got my chronicle good game GM!
