GM Silbeg's Race for the Runecarved Key (tier 18-19) (Inactive)

Game Master Silbeg

This is our discussion thread.

Please use it to let me know the crazy things your character can and will be doing.

Think I need to update him to 19.

Vars, can you please delete your dot post?

Thank you.

Also, please, everyone introduce yourselves (in character) in the gameplay thread!

I am currently level 18 but hope to hit 19 before we start in January.

Antonius is a Razmiran Priest which means he can activate divine scrolls with UMD and a spell slot 1 level above the scroll which means the scroll is not expended. He has a wide range of scrolls including restoration, raise dead and greater restoration. He may well buy a scroll of resurrection in advance.

He counts as level 20 for his bloodline due to the Robe of Arcane Heritage. This means he doesn't take extra time to cast metamagic spells and can activate wands using spell slots rather than charges.

Otherwise he is a straight forward high level sorcerer with masses of known spells due to the human extra spells FCB.

Vars is a fairly straighforward tank. Heavy defenses, OK offense. Very nice crits.

BTW he's a duke of a trailer park.

Hello everyone! Im not sure if Avoreal is current, I think she is, but I'll have to check.

Nice to meet you Antonius, I'm pretty sure I'll know the rest of the players.

As far as abilities go she is a 19th level wizard specilized in transmutation.. She/We have a tendency to go overboard in combat, but it has been a while since I have played her so there's bound to be some dust accumulated..

I see you are wearing the hat of the deeply unlucky soldier, sadly it got nerfed hard a while back.

Make sure you all look at the changes to the Clear Spindle while slotted... it is a *bit* different now.

I am not sure that change has gone into effect yet has it? I didn't think it has hit the PrD yet?

Yeah, I've seen it got nerfed as well. Will take it out of my wayfinder. Better off with the dusty rose prism in there now.

Obviously I've not touched him in a while.

Please post the following (for chronicles):

Name:
Character Name:
Faction:
Day Job Roll:

If you have a reroll at the end of the game, you can use it then on your day job

Also, I hate to be picky, but could you all please use the tagline template I have linked to? It will really help keep your GM sane if you all follow the same pattern.

Name: Andrew Watson
Character Name: Venture Captain Antonius Gallonica, Viscount of Lionsguard, Signifier of the Order of the Gate
PFS#: 44523-2
Faction: Exchange
Day Job Roll: Craft Alchemy: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (2) + 25 = 27

Will do although I may be being blind and not seeing any link.

I will post my stat block once he hits 19.2 which should hopefully be on Boxing Day.

Campaign info page (in fact, please quickly review stuff there!)

My Preferred Tagline

Also, there's a "Fill in the stuff" page (slide #2) at Scenario tactical and handouts

OK, updated him to current.

Being a fighter, he's not overloaded with odd tricks.

On a crit (17-20) he will leave the target exhausted and staggered.

He can use dazing assault to daze targets for a round at a time, DC 29 fort to negate.

He has evasion from a ring.

He has DR 11/- (armored juggernaut, armor mastery, and adamantine full plate). Coupled with his high AC and good saves, this makes him hard to kill, even if his damage is not spectacular.

Changed my tagline and filled in info as beast as I could.

As far as ioun stone goes I don't have anything better to put in it so the clear will stay socketed for now.

Oh, also Grand Lodge, and don't do day jobs.

Please post the following (for chronicles):

I just noticed I never picked my 19th level feat. I was considering Extra Contingency or Expanded Summon Monster. Both have perks, but I'm leaning towards having 2 contingencies simply because I don't summon often. Thoughts or other suggestions anyone?

I'm new to pBp.

How do I change my tagline, etc?

Lucian, you would edit the profile of the character you are playing.

Please check out the following for information on PbP.

Primer on PbP

It looks like Antonius will be staying level 18 for this. You never know, maybe we will see some level 19 seeker content in the future. I have updated his stat block and filled out the stuff on the tactical slide.

I would take expanded summon over extra contingency. Contingencies don't carry over between scenario's so you need to dedicate spell slots to it and whatever you are linking to it. Specials rarely offer a chance to refresh spells completely. Personally I would take Greater Spell Penetration given that most of your spells allow SR.

Given we have 3 full casters and a bard at levels 18-19 could we possibly set up a buff sheet to keep track of everything. I expect there simply wont be enough space in the header given the number of spell effects which are likely to be dropped.

We are currently using THIS as an example for our Iron Gods 6 pbp run.

Sounds like a good idea.

I have a spoiler in my crunch where i keep up with my buffs, but id be fine with updating a spreadsheet..

BTW, whos are 3rd full caster?

I got the link to the wrong haracter sheet up. I'll get that fixed

Gronk has not posted in the game play thread yet.

However, were he not to show up, you would likely still be fine with a 5 player table. There is not a lot of scaling in this, to be honest, so ...

Oh, I should ask... who has played, read or GMed this before

Nope, this is my first go at this which is unusual nowadays so I am looking forward to it.

I will email David.

Thank you!

my PFS dwarf, Bitter (the little-known 8th dwarf -- kicked out by the other seven dwarves when a girl showed up), ran through the race when it was run as a special, August 31st, 2012...

Never played or ran it.

I have added a "Buff Sheet" for us to track spell (and other) buffs.

Also, please add your information to page 2 of the tactical -- this will help immensely for running the game. Otherwise, I will likely be waiting for you all to post.

As this is a timed event, where you are actually competing against each other, helping me to help you do things expediently should be a good thing.

Thank you!

Starting to fill out the second page. So many skills it will take a bit

also for everyone just something to know

Inspire courage is +5 AND I have discordant voice which adds another 1d6 of sonic damage to your attacks

OK got as much as I could. I left out some of the low skills, and all of the other knowledges I ran out of space for, but they range from 19-24

I have added a bunch of notes as well about my skills as they do vary.

I didn't add my knowledge skills bc it would clutter and taking 10 she get's over 40 with every knowledge skill. Since everyone has added long term buffs I will as well.

Assuming we get to compare spell lists before heading out Antonius I can modify mine so that we have little overlap.

I have added a "Buff Sheet" for us to track spell (and other) buffs.

I have updated the buff list. Antonius uses an orange prism ioun stone slotted into his wayfinder meaning his caster level can vary so I will make the rolls here.

False life temp HP: 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

His normal shapehcange form is a Sun Giant. If there isn't space for him to be Huge and flying then he will instead use the Rock Troll. His stat line reflects the sun giant form currently.

I should add, hour/level+ spells are cast at the beginning of the day. Everything else will be post briefing, and may change depending on what we are asked to do but I wanted to get them set out so I didn't forget.

Antonious, those rolls won't matter, unfortunately.

Every time the bearer casts a spell, he rolls 1d4–2 and adds the result (as well as the +1 caster level granted by the normal power of the ioun stone) to his caster level.

Emphasis mine

You need to make this roll every time, from what I understand. And, while I know this complicates things a little, this is how it should be done.

Also, he will need to be in his normal form to start the adventure. Being large (or huge) will present an issue, even with veil in place.

So, everyone, if you've already cast spells (i.e., they are on the sheet at the start of the adventure) I will assume that durations are already running.

That's fair. I usually cast and extend heroism after the briefing etc. I'll pull it from t he sheet

Reupdated showing only long term buffs..

She casts Greater False Life, Mind Blank, Moment of Prescience, and Overland Flight at the beginning of each day.

Will also be spending 660 gold for a caster level 11 Heal spell to be cast into her contingency at the start of the adventure.

Greater False Life: 2d10 + 20 ⇒ (5, 9) + 20 = 34

Antonious, how are you activating your wand of freedom of movement using a third level spell slot.

Level 20 bloodline ability gained with robe of arcane heritage.

Antonious, those rolls won't matter, unfortunately.

The rolls for the spells already cast are ok...

I am not sure what the issue is? I have rolled for each spell individually as required by the resonance power. Is it that you want me to hold off on stuff done once the briefing is over?

Hmmm. Seems my new sheet didn't upload as I hoped I'll try agian

Ok! I hadn’t realized you were prebuffing that much when I posted. All is cool.
