We haven't heard from Halkale in a week? Should we assume he still needs botting?
-Posted with Wayfinder
I'd still like to give him 24 hours first, especially since yesterday was a holiday in the US.

I'll give Moadis (and Halkale) a little time to reply to my in-character question and then post by tomorrow afternoon. If I don't post by then for some reason and they don't answer just go for the non-lethal coup-de-grace.
-Posted with Wayfinder
Are you just trying to do lots of non-lethal to him, Quiella? Typically coup de grace are utilized for a quick kill. I'm guessing you're trying to avoid the Fort Save or die aspect.
|

Yeah, max non-lethal damage and an automatic hit. A Witchguard I played with once did it to targets his Witch slumbered.
It would be against the code I wrote for Quiella, if not the Paladin code in general, for her to kill a combatant of his kind while he is in that situation.

She said "Do you two have the Rager" meaning Valik and Moadis. I can see how you would have missed it though.

We're nearing the end of the scenario, please make your Day Job rolls at your convenience.
Also, I've decided to run 04-02 In Wrath's Shadow next instead of The Disappeared. The latter scenario departs again from a traditional scenario, so I think it'll be good to have a palate cleanser for those who prefer more combat heavy scenarios by doing Wrath next. We will, however, be playing The Disappeared next after IWS.
I'm afraid that T'kk won't be able to participate in 'In Wrath's Shadow' since I don't believe anyone in the group has played it before and it requires a level 3 character. When we play 'The Disappeared' next after that, however, he'll have a spot if he still wants one.

How soon are we starting Wrath's Shadow? T'kk'tck should have 3 more XP from an Emerald Spire module after the 13th. I think that's longer than our breaks usually go though.

We'll be done this week, depending on how fast this combat goes. There will probably be a brief break after that.
That being said, I'd prefer to run games with only 6 PC's, 7 slows things down and the Guide to Organized Play only suggests running that many when necessary.
I just want to touch base with Valik and Melufiuos, are either of you going to retrain into Unchained version of your monk or rogue class levels? If so, how much extra time do you think you might need?
I'll have the chronicle sheets out to you some time this weekend, and I anticipate we'll start 'In Wrath's Shadow' around the middle of next week.
Just so it doesn't come as a surprise, I'm afraid you'll only be receiving 1 prestige point for Blakros Matrimony. You needed to completely influence 5 of the 6 guests to acquire 2 prestige points, but you were only able to influence 4 of them.

Which two did we fail to completely influence? That scenario made for a neat change of pace, but it's a little obnoxious that the secondary objective is more or less determined by how well the dice like you (you can make it matter less, but at the end of the day if you're still rolling below 10 all the time...).

Hamaria Blakros and Tancred Desimire were the two you did not fully influence. You came close with Hamaria, but no one spoke to Tancred at all.

Yes, I will do unchained rogue. Forgot to buy book, but will shortly. Is it only PDF?

I'm pretty sure there is a hardcover.
-Posted with Wayfinder
@Mel, You can get it a physical copy, but it's probably faster and cheaper to pick up the Pdf.
@Ophelia, Yeah, it's a rough scenario if you haven't invested in social skills, but since it's part of Season 4 and pushes along a couple of the storylines, I felt that it needed to be part of the campaign.

So you guys are level 4 at this point, right? If my math is right, I'll be joining you after our next session.
I think I'll be spending the 1k to enhance my platemail and another 1k to get a Cloak of Resistance.
If I have enough leftover after that, I may ask you, Ophelia, to cast Masterwork Transformation on my Greatsword. It will cost me an extra 2k to get it magically enhanced down the road (Cold Iron), but it makes sense for a Paladin to have a Cold Iron Greatsword.
If only I could get the Holy Avenger in a Small Greatsword form...

Also, who wants to be the default target of my Life Link? I was thinking maybe Halkale, since I've seen him nearly die at least once and can't remember anyone else coming close.
If you don't know what that is, this is how it works: at the beginning of my turn, if you have taken 5 or more damage, you heal 5 and I take 5 damage. Pretty efficient healing since I can then take that damage away from myself with a Swift Action LoH. I can end the link as an Immediate Action if my HP gets too low to carry on with it.
I can change the target of the Life Link as a Standard Action, so if one of you is the default it won't stop me from helping someone else instead.
Ophelia, I can place you closer to the front of the marching order if you'd prefer, but there are a lot of frontline characters in this party. As for the other issues, there are magical items and spells that can cut down on those problems.
The latest session is reported and your chronicle sheets have been sent out via email, as always let me know if you have any issues.
We'll get started on 'In Wrath's Shadow' probably around Wednesday. If you'll need more time to level up, just let me know.

Hey! I heard that! :P
Yep, makes a fool of himself and then runs away from the combat. Somehow, it almost seems like one prestige point was being generous :)
-Posted with Wayfinder
Everyone but Quiella should be 4th level now.

Ophelia, you are too sweet. If it were the other way around, I'd focus on a permanent, live stream to YouTube in hopes of catching that next viral video.

OK. Looking at the unchained rogue. Right now, with only one level in rogue, the only real change is a +1 to perception when finding traps and on disable device. The only other potential change was weapon finesse at level one. However, Mel has already chosen that in his initial magus level. I assume that means the bonus feat is wasted, since I am only respecing the rogue.
-Posted with Wayfinder
If it's just a boost to your trapfinding, I am not sure it's worth switching to Unchained unless you're planning on taking many more rogue levels. The free weapon finesse was the 1st level draw, but you already have it.

Reading the blog post I got the impression you get a full rebuild. So you can change stat alocation, feats and class lvls as you see fit to adapt your character. So you could start your first lvl as rogue, go for a DEX build and pick up something different for that feat, like grabbing combat casting at first lvl and power atk at 3rd.
A 3lvls of rogue and 1lvl of magus build would get you DEX mod to damage with rapier or another light weapon and 2d6 sneak attack. Spellstrike starting next lvl for the second attack.
My impression after re-reading the blog post is that he can only retrain his rogue level, the magus levels have to stay. Whether or not he can retrain out of the superfluous Weapon Finesse is a little unclear, but I wouldn't have any huge issues with it if he did.

I don't think you can change levels around, but swapping superfluous feats definitely falls under the rebuild they defined.
-Posted with Wayfinder
In that case, it's probably worth it for a free Feat and a +1 to Mel's BaB.
