I'm OK with either Modias or his arcane alter ego. With Modias, I'm confident that any baddies we meet will get smashed pretty flat in short order. But, it does leave me with the burden of being the only arcane, and I actually do worry about that. Look at all the extra weird scrolls Mel buys, just trying to be ready for anything. Unfortunately, he is not a very strong caster. With the ghast, it would have been nice to have a squishy sitting in the corner pounding him with magic missiles or whatnot.

On the other hand, Mel does not seem to excel at anything. Valik sneaks and seeks way better than Mel. Halkale is way better with a bow. Quellia is way better at standing in the front and taking a beating. Everyone is way better at healing than Mel. Throw in a sorcerer who is way better at nuking and we start wondering why Mel is even in the party.

That being said, I don't mind being mediocre. I did not build Mel to max out one attribute or another. He is kind of well-rounded and I enjoy role playing him. He is still a bit of a wide-eyed kid. So as long as no one starts looking at Mel as excess baggage, he will be as happy to welcome a strong arcane as he is sad to see that hammer go.

Fine with me either way

I also dont think Mel is mediocre at all, and I usually optimize all my characters to some degree. The magus class has a strong focus on melee so he will never be that good with a bow anyway. I really enjoy Mel's roleplay and he is a good sneak, and our only trapsmith, and together with Valik you guys make a great duo. Also with two feats Mel could be hitting harder than Moadis.

If you feel you want to improve your character's performance, not that you should, he is fine as he is, my advice would be to choose a role to focus and invest in that path. A shadow enchantment in your armor and a wand of darkvision via umd, maybe one or two more lvls in rogue, would help a lot in being a sneak.

The feats: Extra Traits with Wayang Spellhunter (Shocking grasp) / Magical Knack (magus) and Intensify Spell would up a lot Mel's dmg potencial.

And rods like quicken help a lot with spellcasters in general (but are expensive). Pearls of power are good but magus 4th lvl ability make them not essencial. Anyway as long as you are having fun with the character all is good.

The Gameplay thread is active again for those of you playing The Disappeared.

Here's of the list of those playing:
Halkale
Moadis
Quiella
Valik
Tkk'tck
Quiella's Cousin?

Please have Quiella's cousin go ahead and check in here, or let me know if s/he changed their mind about playing two scenarios so I can look into adding an alternate.

Liberty's Edge

Female Kitsune | Unchained Rogue (Knife Master): 1 | Init: +5, Per: +2, Stealth: +9, Disguise: +6 (+16 to appear human) | Speed: 30
HP: 11/11, CMB: -3, CMD: 12 | AC: 16, T: 15, FF: 11 | F: +3, R: +7, W: -2 (+2 vs emotion and fear effects) | Skills:
Acrobat +11, Bluff +6, Disable Dev +9, Esc Artist +5, Know(Dungeon) +5, Know(Local) +5, Ling +5, Sleight of H +5

Hey, this is Quiella's cousin checking in. Just now got everything up (may need to fix some of the formatting).

Quick question about the alternative racial traits: would it be possible to take Fast Shifter? It makes shifting a move action instead of a standard one (trades out for Kitsune magic). It fits better with my idea for this character, but if I can't it's not a big deal.

You'll want to check the Additional Resources page, Lyanif.

I'm not sure how to approach this scenario. A) from the viewpoint of Quiella's Paladin code and B) "tactically" speaking; I'm not sure about Plate Mail (which I just magically enhanced) vs. Studded Leather. I was thinking about magically enhancing one of my weapons, but I can't decide which one, so I'll delay and buy a Strength Belt after this mission.

Seriously considering some Masterwork Kikko Armor to get 5AC at only a -2 ACP for 180gp.


Gamemaster | CC Map | S4 Map

Yes, Lyanif, you can take Fast Shifter. As Quiella mentioned, the Additional Resources page lets you know if non-Core material is PFS legal or not.

I'll go ahead and bite on the masterwork Kikko armor. That will put my Stealth at +3 before any potions or the like.

I might not get the wand of true strike just yet.
But I am thinking about a new rapier. Keen might be cool (crit on 15-20), but spell storing looks fun too.

So the cost of either of those is 2K, total, right?
Later, if I wanted to add the other, would it be just 2K more, or would I have to sell the one I had and buy a new one with both, for 4K?

Also, with the spell storing, can I start a game with it pre-loaded with something I can cast? Or do I have to burn a spell slot, right off the bat, to charge it? Can it be charged via a scroll?

One more clarification on the spell storing weapon. It says I can decide to have the weapon cast the spell as a free action, after I hit and damage a creature. I am assuming that if I critted, the spell would *NOT* be part of that crit as it was a separate action.


Gamemaster | CC Map | S4 Map

First, you need a magical rapier. To get that, you have to buy a masterwork weapon (weapon cost + 300 gp masterwork cost). Then you have to enchant the weapon to +1 (2000gp enchantment cost). To add a Keen quality to a weapon, the cost is the same as adding another +1 enhancement to it. So a +1 rapier costs an additional 6000gp to add Keen. The Spell-storing quality is also considered +1, so that costs 6000gp as well. If your weapon was already Keen and you wanted to add spell-storing, that would be the equivalent of a +3 which costs you an additional 10000gp.

I believe you can charge a spell-storing weapon between scenarios. It's actually less hassle in this campaign environment because you don't switch GM's. I don't believe the spell stored in the weapon counts a crit if the weapon attack roll crits, no.

Probably wand of shield for +4 AC.

Note that Adamantine, Mithral, and some other Special materials include the masterwork quality in their cost. Not Alchemical Silver or Cold Iron, though.

Ouch, guess I better save my money.


Gamemaster | CC Map | S4 Map

Lyanif, when you get a chance I need your Pathfinder Society number for this character. I'm assuming your faction is Liberty's Edge. I'll also need an email address to send your chronicle sheet to when we're done, please send that to me via a private message.


Gamemaster | CC Map | S4 Map

FYI, we're playing the 4-5 tier, but with the 4 person adjustment since you're between tiers at 3.166.


Gamemaster | CC Map | S4 Map

Quiella, with the new errata to Ultimate Combat, Kikko armor now costs 250 gp instead of 30 gp. John Compton mentions it here.


Gamemaster | CC Map | S4 Map

Valik, it's really no problem, we got it sorted out. I'll just try to check the time stamps and wait 5-10 minutes before responding to posts.

Lyanif is traveling a lot this weekend and so told me that he would not be posting until... tomorrow night, I think?

In the last few months the number of computer-using adults has gone up to 3 (from 2) and the number of working computers has gone from 5 to 1. And I've been looking for a job when I'm not watching the kids (since my wife has increased her hours to compensate). That's why my posting rate has fallen off.

That sounds a little rough, but best of luck on your job search. May you find one that allows you to post all day long. :)


Gamemaster | CC Map | S4 Map

Please make any Day Job rolls, and I'll send the Chronicle sheets out this weekend.

The Beggar's Pearl is on its final encounter, so when that finishes up we'll start the PbP Gameday scenario My Enemy's Enemy. That scenario will be on a separate thread, and I'll provide links to it soon.

I'll set T'kk'tck and Lyanif as inactive in this thread once I have chronicle sheets sent out. If either of you are still interested in playing in the future and we have openings, I'll contact you about joining future scenarios. Thanks for playing!


Gamemaster | CC Map | S4 Map

Halkale, you currently are infected with the disease Devil Chills that received from the Bearded Devil. As per the rules, we have to clear that condition before the end of the scenario. Would you like to have Remove Disease cast on you? If so, would you prefer to spend 150 gp or 1 pp on that spell casting service? I don't believe any of the PC's have access to that spell currently, unfortunately.

Just making sure I didn't do anything stupid, are those who've played every scenario at 11/12 exp?

I think I am right, but I upgraded this computer to Windows 10 and the backed it back to Windows 7, so I lost some stuff, anything saved while in Windows 10, because...Microsoft.

I am thinking of adding adaptive to my bow, since we might start taking more ability damage, I don't want to lose the ability to lose my bow if I happen to take some strength damage. I need to wait on my armor until we get a much larger lump sum.

That's right.

Quiella's change to Spirit Guide mostly means she loses the Inspiration Pool and regains one spell known (Detect Undead) from her mystery. I think it affects class skills, but not in a way relevant to me.

Probably purchasing a belt of Strength if I can afford it, else a scabbard of vitality.

Only changes were the aforementioned archetype removal (adding Spirit Guide will be a separate retraining that I can't afford yet) and the purchase of a belt of giant strength. My profile is updated. The purchases are reflected on my tracking sheet and the strength update is reflected in my stats, but I forgot to add the belt to the equipment list on my profile.

A note to all my games:

I am closing on my house on 10/30 at 9AM Central. That means between now and then and a few days after, my world revolves around packing and getting ready to move. We are moving all the big stuff the next day. Internet should be on at the house 10/30 in the afternoon. I will be checking through various mobile forms of communication but please don't let me hold up games. Thanks.
