In that case, can Thomas make the kill shot?
I am unsure of whether an unused parry & reposte uses up a panache.
The way I'm doing it is to ask you to do the parry/riposte ahead of time so that play is not slowed down.
You don't actually do it until you get attacked. When you get attacked, the parry/riposte would happen and the panache spent.

I think we better take a break here.
I've got everything set up for the next encounter, but I think if I started it now we most likely would have to pause in the middle of it.
Rather than do that, let's wait until Monday and do it then.
GM, for the future of the adventure, i'd like Thomas take 2 minutes (take 20) when he gets up earlier than other people, to get a refined disguise going somewhere unseen, if possible.
I should have done so for this, hindsight.
You can take 10. I do not allow taking 20 on Disguise.
First of all, if would take 1d3 x 200 minutes, so between 3 hours and 10 hours.
Secondly, people get suspicious on a failed roll. I consider that a penalty for failure.
I have already been letting you off lightly. People are supposed to get an hourly check against your disguise. I've gone with just a daily check.
The results of a detected Disguise will depend on the NPC involved. A town guard is going to keep an eye on someone like that. A criminal in a back alley is not going to be surprised and in general will just think that the disguised were smart to think ahead.
I debated even rolling them, then decided it was probably a good idea since it would allow the player to adjust his methods if they didn't like me rolling daily. It also allows for a discussion of the rules if there are any disagreements or misunderstandings.
When it comes to Thomas explaining, I just need to know if he is using Bluff to deceive or Diplomacy to explain.

Future reference, where can i find this would take so much more time?
It's okay, this is the 1st time i've had to deal with disguise checks if walking around in human form, so no big deal.
Oh, Thomas would definitely lie about it. Yet since it is also a physical form, not an illusion, i'll see how that works out.

As a heads up.
For the coming three weeks, i'll be working full-time on weekdays, and will only have time in the late afternoon/evenings (Amsterdam/Berlin timezone) to make posts. Maybe i can squeeze a post in during breaks, i don't know yet.
So i'll be able to keep at least 1 a/day pace, but no guarantee of more, like i would have opportunity for until now.

Do not worry about it too much, if you post consistently and comprehensively, it works pretty decently. I work in retail, and my post times are sometimes erratic, too. :)
Tonight is my night to organize for a local game store. If I get an update in tonight, it is likely to be late at night. Otherwise, I'll handle it in the morning.
Alright, not sure how Saving Shield is supposed to work.
Benefit: Whenever an adjacent ally is the target of an attack, you can, as an immediate action, grant that adjacent ally a +2 shield bonus to AC. You must be wielding a light shield, heavy shield, or tower shield to use this feat.
So is that an immediate action vs. a single attack, or an immediate action that grants the shield bonus until your next turn?

Search-fu didn't seem to turn up a super definitive answer but as best as I can tell based on the way it's written, it sounds like it's intended to be vs. a single attack. Of course it doesn't actually specify how long it lasts so I could see why some folks might argue that it lasts until your next turn.

I picked it up on the idea it would last for the entire turn, but if it doesn't and it only covers one attack I guess that'd work.
Was kind of trying to build around a 'bodyguardish' concept, was going to use Martial Flex to Bodyguard until the feat could be obtained, but opponents are not in melee yet.
I will do some digging and thinking on it.
Yes, there is only one immediate action per turn and it uses up the next round’s swift action.
The question is having spent that action, how long does the bonus to AC last? My inclination is that it is for just one attack (like it would be for the Aid Another action), but I would like to find something a little more definitive than that.
I need to do some digging.
I think that I’m going to go somewhere in between the two extremes.
It lasts against one opponent’s action. That can be an AoO, an attack, or even a full attack. It will not work against multiple opponents, nor will it protect from both the regular attack and an AoO.
Since we are playing with level 2-4 characters, the only time the full attack is likely to come up is ranged combat and rapid shot.
Does that seem fair?
I'm waiting for the others to have a chance to respond before giving results of your information gathering.
No problem, just wanted everyone to have an opportunity to act here.
It is late. I will move things forward tomorrow.
Sorry it is taking so long.
I have an info dump and I’ve been struggling with the presentation.

As tempting as it may be, don’t use burning infusion on the appliances. :)
Good luck on the repairs!

Sorry, but I've had a family matter come up.
Please be understanding if I'm a little slow to update over the next couple of day as I work through it. I will try to move the game forward today, but it may be rather late in the day.
