Force is awesome, if only I could use it!
I can only alter between fire, ice, lightning and cold.
I found the confusion. See the redundancy?
Sorry. Busy today. Have a post later.
Holy typos and incomplete sentences batman!
(sorry for my last post(s), apparently I need to reread my posts a third time before posting.)
In case anyone was wondering, the Detect Good spell detects beings of pure good (such as angels and the like), clerics/priests of good deities, and any creatures with 5+ HD who are of the good alignment, thus even the largebarian registered on their detection spell.
Per the spell - Gromff and Veronica both radiate strong auras of good, while Roland radiates a faint aura.
Gromff,
I had your max HP as 72 on the campaign header, and with 4 Con damage I had your temporary Con HP bonus at +1.
Per your character sheet your max HP is 79, and your Con is 18 (+4), meaning that if you had taken 4 Con damage your temporary bonus would be +2.
I know I've been pretty liberal in allowing you all to rearrange feats, classes, and even ability scores at level-up. Has your Con been 18 for very long? Has your HP been 79 for equally as long? I don't understand how I would have miscalculated it so badly, but it is certainly possible that I did.
It just occurred to me that 79 - 7 (your level) = 72. Maybe I was deducting HP from the Con damage (1/level/2 points of Con) and assumed the wrong HP total in hindsight?
-----------
I'm going to assume that my calculations were wrong for now, unless you believe you were in error. Updates to Campaign header to come.
I think you pointed out I was supposed to be at 72, then I got that belt of physical might. +2 to con and str. That means +my level in health. I think that was it.
That sounds correct, good catch. Thank you Gromff.

Everyone, check out this new map of the realm I drew up! I'll probably touch it up here and there to make it more interesting, but my goal was to replicate the original map in a more colorful and detailed version.
What do you think?
RE: Leadership feat
I'm feeling somewhat neutral on the subject. I can see some fun RP and good game utility that could come along with it. I can see some potential pitfalls as well, especially in the PbP realm.
I'm not necessarily opposed to it at this point, but I'd rather not make a ruling either way unless confronted with a direct request for its approval.
Sorry for the lack of posts so far today. I will try to reply to the last posts in an hour or two, on my next break.
I think Leadership would be difficult to implement. At level 7, and assuming no modifiers, you would get a 5th level cohort and that's about it. But at 10 you would get 5 1st level followers. What would they do? Where would they be? They might be able to follow but eventually you'd have too many to manage. We are very mobile and having a crap loud of low level followers would either give us away immediately or be a hassle to to account for, for you you and the DM. Better idea, we could take him on as a hireling if you wanted to go that route.

@About leadership.
Urgh, I think I caused problem, sorry about it;
I don't want to take the feat, It was just an offhand comment, because Wiston might be a good cohort.
And about the feat itself, it makes sense to be able to accomplish things in game without needing the feat.
The players are charismatic/notable/heroic/famous things in the world, it’s normal to attract attention, followers or even a cohort.
But the game must support those kind of things, which isn’t really the case here at this point.
One way to implement leadership in Zedth game, would be delegating your cohort to ‘recruit’ an army. That’s a perfect excuse to keep the cohort in the game, but away from the players and have reason for the followers. A war is brewing, every army is needed.
Well, that’s just an opinion; I don’t plan on taking the feat.
Sorry for the delay, been a busy weekend. I'll get up a post in a little while.
*crickets chirping*
Sorry, for some reason I was waiting for a response to mine.
Will post in a moment.

I didn't want to bore you with too much back and forth so I opted to press on. I hope I didn't ignore any questions or unfinished conversation?
Gah! Rub it in, rub it in.
I think that's the first time I've called him that... I typed and retyped that paragraph a few times. I think I had the notion of the hounds "watching" him and my brain farted.
+1000xp for Catcher for "catching" that one.
(disclaimer: this game does not use XP.)

My friends,
The posting rate lately has been bad. Here and there I know you are waiting for me to respond or get up a post so that you can respond in kind, but it feels like that isn't the main issue.
It has been quite a while now that Roland has been absent. Having 1 out of 4 characters gone makes a good-sized (but manageable) dent all by itself, but when the others are posting on a fairly irregular basis on top of that, it becomes very noticeable as a GM.
Are you guys bored? Are you not having fun? Is there something I/you/we can do to fix this?
Quick note. I'm still alive and hoping to return to my regular life (posting life included) this week. I know it's probably my fault that the game isn't moving as it should, so I'll try to show up sooner than I can.
I wouldn't say just yours. I know I've been a little lax, and while I could seek excuses about work sucking, being sick, trying to get my side business going, etc, I'll instead just say "I'm sorry" and that I am definitely having fun and am still interested. : /
Weekend posting is not expected per our original agreement. My above post was posted on a weekend day but it was regarding the general posting habits of late which have been irregular.
All I ask is that we all try a bit harder to get in that 1/day, excluding weekends.
Side note - I often need to do "make-up" posts on Saturdays if I wasn't able to get a sufficient post done on Friday due to my current schedule.
Hey, checking in and waiting to see some kind of response.
I need clarification from Catcher and/or the rest of the group on the armor/scythe decision before I move the game along.
Also everyone please chime in your vote on how to proceed: leave the horses behind/take the difficult terrain route, or try to make a break through the enemy's line while the archons distract them.
-Gromff's last post is a vote for the difficult terrain route I believe.
I'm fine with waiting both in and out of character. Veronica thinks this is important, but the goal is both nebulous and seemingly based on 'fate'.
I would also vote for the difficult route. Better to not endanger the others.

About the armor/sword.
I don't want to press this as well.
It's more like a long term project. So if the others thing we can't spare the time, Catcher will vote to move as well.
The way I see it's more like this:
Whenever she has spare time, she'll try to work with the armor and the sword. Not really making the party stop to wait.

Another question about the routes:
The difficult terrain route, can we still take the horses?
Caster level 6. Levitate is 100lbs/CL. Googled the weight of a horse. That'd be a big no.
Some warhorses weighed as much as a ton, while a smaller horse can easily weight 800-1000 lbs. I supposed that is not going to be an option.

Okay, here is an Idea:
Roland has Str 22.
If I cast bull’s str, it goes up to 24.
With that, he can carry as heavy load 467–700 lbs.
Now, when I use enlarge person, str gets to 26, his carrying capacity to 614–920 lbs x2 = 1840 lbs.
Carrying Capacity:
Bigger and Smaller Creatures: The figures on Table: Carrying Capacity are for Medium bipedal creatures. A larger bipedal creature can carry more weight depending on its size category, as follows: Large ×2, Huge ×4, Gargantuan ×8, Colossal ×16. A smaller creature can carry less weight depending on its size category, as follows: Small ×3/4, Tiny ×1/2, Diminutive ×1/4, Fine ×1/8.
So, would it be possible to buff up Roland, and count with this Handle Animal skill, to keep the horses calm, while he climb the massive lines of slanted rock?
If climbing proves difficult, we still have the fly option. :D
--
Anyways, I don't want to sound argumentative. If that's too much trouble, I'm fine with ditching the horses and going on foot.
Consider that this is Catcher trying to come up with a solution to avoid having to force the Walker to, well, walk.
Not argumentative at all - that is the beauty of magic and problem solving. I encourage that type of thing.
I'll post later today, sorry for the delay.
RL is not letting me go that easly.
I am having similar challenges today. My wife and I have had several issues at both home and work that have kept me away from the computer all day, and now that I'm home I am exhausted.
Friday's are challenging as normal for me, but I will try to get up a post or two then.
Hey, just checking in to say that I'm waiting to see how this goes with Gromff and Catcher before I put anything up.
sorry for the delay. sick part of the weekend.
...the childurn?
Every time I see text of Gromff saying the word "childurn" I laugh out loud. It is a hilarious dwarf-accented word.
Roland,
Are you coming back to us anytime soon? It has been over two months since we had a in-game post, and two and a half weeks since you predicted a return within that week. We miss your posts, I miss your energy, and frankly the game is suffering without your presence.
----
If we are to make it to a conclusion, we are going to need Roland to come back soon and/or add some new blood to the party.
What do you guys think about adding another player? Do any of you have a friend who is a good RPer and will be a reliable poster?
I know a few but I don't think I could make that call. But our luck with reopening the recruitment has been less than stellar.
