Would 'karma' have been a better choice of word there?
Rynjin |
Sorry if my action's a bit complicated. There's a lot of if/then in there.
If Disarm is successful, proceed to attacking.
If attacking = Death/Unconsciousness, then return to Disarming.
If initial Disarm was unsuccessful, switch to just punching with the Cestus (in which case damage is lowered to 1d6+15).

Farrukh's getting a lot of mileage out of quickdraw.

You used QuickDraw to equip the shield as a free action so you could bash with it right?
Carina Viera |
Quick Draw's a good feat for any frontliner who carries a lot of weapons. :)
Rynjin |
No, if you Disarm someone while you have a free hand, you can use that weapon with no further action required to "equip" it.
I should take Quick Draw at some point, but so far I haven't found a good opening for it.
Tanith 'Kordson' Creed |
Yeah, it's always on my list of 'feats I want but have no room for'.
Does that mean it's not equipped as a normal shield?
Rynjin |
I'm not sure, it's up to KC.
It's the same action economy as equipping a normal weapon (Move action to draw, Move action to pick up off the ground, etc.) so it SHOULD be the same, but it's open to interpretation.
I'm fine with it just being used as a weapon this turn if he prefers.
Assuming I don't drop it failing to Disarm Drusfan (if I fail by 10, it gets flung from my hand. I figured worst case I'm just back to square 1.).
Tanith 'Kordson' Creed |
Wouldn't it have been easier to TWF with your cestus?
Rynjin |
Sorta would have been, but I wanted a bit of extra AC if I could get it, and I ignore the TWFing penalty when I use a Shield too.
Plus it lowers Drusfan's AC by a minimum of 2 points, and forces him to destroy his own shield if he wants me to be inconvenienced, so looking pretty good all around.

The raging dwarf struggles for a moment, about to lose his grip, but he puts on a sudden surge of strength and barely manages to wrench his arm away. The effort seems to leave him badly winded—he clearly won't be able to manage that again. "Hey, quit it!"
I call shenanigans.
I know what it is, but still. =(
Why you gotta take my awesome maneuver away?
Tanith 'Kordson' Creed |
I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that we not do business with this guy anymore.
Tanith 'Kordson' Creed |
True. He was on our side all along!
When Farrukh shrunk back down to normal size was it enlarged-normal or normal-normal?

By the way, since I think the 'golem' was padded by other cursed items (I don't recall selling off a supposed bag of holding at any point), and since none of Pitch Blade's items are loot we can claim, I have to ask... is that just a 'normal' bag of devouring, or is it a Chomper?

Sorry, I've been holding off on NPCing Rodrigo largely because a lot of miscellaneous tasks have been taking precedence, and I figured I could afford to give Jelani a bit of extra time. None of them were school, since I'm taking the summer term off, and a lot of them were derailed by certain highly addictive forum arguments (as I'm sure you've noticed). One of the tasks was laughing about Farrukh's klar for a half-hour, I won't lie.
I probably should have issued a prompt or two, though. Not sure why I didn't think of that. Overall, I haven't been very on-the-ball the last few days. I blame the heat. And also society's crumbling moral framework. And 1d6 ⇒ 2 Tanith.
I'll move things along tomorrow morning. If anybody has any suggestions for his actions, I'll run with them—otherwise the mouther will keep spitting.

All kidding aside, I'm very impressed with you guys. This is pretty illustrative of how terrifying nova buffing can be with a large party in Pathfinder.
It's a big part of why our Way of the Wicked group ROFLstomped everything in the AP.
Even taking away the Templates (Nosferatu for me, plus a Graveknight, Half-Fiend, and Shadow Lord), being able to stack on buffs like Heroism (a version that works on Undead), Bane, Favored Target, etc. just made things wilt.
Buffs kinda change the whole way the game plays.
Carina Viera |
Ohhhhh, I'm just waiting until I can have access to Fast Bombs & Force Bombs... then maybe I'll actually start to match Tanith's & Farrukh's damage output.

THIS! So this. My way of the wicked RL groups has 3 PCs, we're gestalt and level 10. Our last fight was against a 18th level cleric, 20th level monk, and 10? legion archons. We pwned them because of buffs. I play the bard/summoner so it's primarily my fault. High level pathfinder is completely broken...irreparably so IMHO. We'll see if this game can last through it's ridiculousness.

As a sidenote, while I'm letting Farrukh wield the shield, he won't be gaining an AC bonus from it until he dons it properly.
What does that mean? Isn't picking it up the same as donning it? Or are they using late period heater shields or something...
Speaking from IRL experience, boss grip shields are way more effective, and easier to use and more historically common. All you have to do is pick one up.

I really hope it can last.
My WotR campaign ended up dying near the end of the 2nd book, and the abilities we had caused combat to take too long for our GM to resolve...

Ehhh, the OTHER big part of why buffs wreck Way of the Wicked is it is waaay easy compared to other APs and such.
A lot of the enemies as written are weaksauce, and our GM was using the encounters as written.
