Probably still going to cheese dip warlord, not sure. Will feel it out as the game goes. Don't worry I can't be offended.
I really didn't want to say this, but I feel like it would be better just to get it done.
I'm not really cool with the S&M thing. I'm sorry if that's what you're into, and I'm not saying that's wrong. People like what they like, but it's not a theme I'm comfortable with in a game. I'm sorry.

Ok, I'll try to tone it down. Sorry for the trouble. I just thought it would be an appropriate outlet for Xanya given Derro's sadistic tendencies. Personally I'm not really that into it, but I do mind it in fiction. A bit sad about this as it was a significant part of Xanya's personality/inner conflict(fighting to stay good while still enjoying pain).
Sorry guys, busy day at work. I should be free to read and post soon.
Just because the base Derro is #$!@ing nuts, it doesn't mean she is required to be. :)
That's part of this game. We don't have to be as awful as our parents. :P
But thanks. I appreciate it. I really like this game, and I want to like it, so I appreciate that you're willing to help me stay comfortable being here.
Sorry guys, busy day at work. I should be free to read and post soon.
Same here. No idea when I'll finish today.
@Magic: She is still insane, so I'll have to look for other ways to express that instead (not that you have to be insane to like it), but of course we'll try to make you comfortable.

Maybe Xanya REALLY like to bake cookies, like insanely so.

Great idea, keep 'em coming!
Busy day at university
@Magic: a little S&M never hurt anyone ;) joke aside, if you are not comfortable with it, then we will have to do without it.
@Xanya: Xanya could collect seamingly randon items, paranoia also counts as a form of insanity( and as a survival skill for adventurers ;) )
Her schizophrenia is already so strong that she can see (and ride) her imaginary friends. The voices inside her head are strong enough to actually manifest and even hurt other people.
Finally got off work, but my wife is wasted after a long day... Hopefully I'll be able to post in gameplay before I go to bed.
CT, would it truly make a difference if we craft in the village or on the trail with the tools and materials that the goatlings gave us?
It doesn't make too much difference. On the trail you have less hours per day, but you can get in a few hours during camp depending how much time you need. The materials you have will probably only allow for simple items anyhow.
So what feats and spells are people thinking to pick up next level? I'm debating between Mounted Blade and Extra Rage Power for my feat. Mounted Blade is better, but I get so many combat feats for free and I want a lot of rage powers to transfer to Cryxial. Ideally I'll get superstition->witch hunter->spell sunder, fiend totem and lesser->elemental rage by level 8 where I'm picking up Greater Ferocious Mount, but it'll be hard to fit them all in. For spell I'm debating between Rejuvenate Eidolon (but we got plenty of AoE healing already) and protection from evil. If anyone have any suggestions for how to fit stuff in, or for other options, I would be quite happy.
So who want to take Intercept Charge with me next level.
Seems pretty sweet, maybe we should all take it then if any of you get charged I can move in the way. Get an AoO as they move through my threat then parry the charge and maybe riposte. Seems good. Goes along with his chivalry and protection theme. :)
It doesn't work very well for Xanya and Cryxial is extremely strapped for feats. I am going to take coordinated charge at level 10 and paired opportunists and outflank before that.
I will be taking Extra Arcanist Exploits for my next Character Feat since I am at a deficit for White Mage. Spells, not sure but they will be half utility and combat (damage or CC).
all these feats and no one can squeeze in a teamwork feat?
There are more feats I want than I'll be able to get. As I already said Xanya can't use the feat herself due to being mounted. She also got little use for someone else tanking for her(at least in a few levels). They can also just charge at Cryxial and you would be unable to use it.
all these feats and no one can squeeze in a teamwork feat?
We probably should role play teamwork feats out for future levels instead of just picking and choosing? Which ones do you have in mind?
It's listed in the last couple posts...
Xanya is picking Paired Oppotunists, Coordinated Charge and likely Outflank. Goliath wants to pick up intercept charge, but only if others are doing so as well. Xanya might pick up precise strike as well.
@CaveToad: Does the +2 from outflank stack with the Warlord's Tactical Flanker ability allowing to use Cha instead of the normal +2?
Crap, post got eaten b/c internet went down for a sec just as I hit send.
I'm fine RP'ing it out but you have to have the feat in mind first.
I will probably Twin mind into inquisitor after the psionic class and just solo tactics do it myself.
Its a good boost to damage. We all have good init, so if we win we take round 1 to buff and present ourselves as squish chargeable targets, but then I can move and intercept some poor full, Hitting him with an AoO as he moves through my threat b/c the feat says he has to become adjacent to me. I then parry his attack and riposte to hit him again. Now I have hit them twice with buffs going and if they are still there get to full attack them with flurry. Come on you guys don't wana make me wait on this :).
I get it doesn't fit well for Xanya, no worries.
I never really think about much of anything I take ahead of time.
However, I don't think that me taking the feat would do much good. I'm going to be in the air almost the whole time, so no one's really going to be charging me, and if they do, you won't usually be in the air to stop them. :/
If I remember right, there's a feat called Hover that lets me stay in one place in the air, which would help a whole lot.
We're allowed to take monster feats, right? It is in the title of the campaign...
Yes, we are allowed to take monster feats.
Simon is our one squishy, so would be the one benefiting the most from someone tanking hits for him, but as he said, it won't be easy for you to intercept charges targeting him since he'll hopefully be flying.
Quassine and Kiki are those that you need to convince...
An alternative to solo tactics could be the tactican ability from either cavalier or warlord.
I will be flying around level 5 if we have twin mind by then.
Just because I'm curious, how are you planning on flying? Myself, I'll be doing it through evolutions. Though I've also been toying with the idea of getting the full dragon totem line for +6 DR to both Xanya and Cryxial which would also give flight.
Aegis if it is one of the allowed Psionic choices, they have a PP reserve it is just used to change their customizations.

Yep, that is one of my planned Twin Mind Classes, next to Psion, and Deadly Fist War Soul.
Yeah the Aberrant works well for my build, Free Brawn for strength increase, and natural armor as skin instead of armor lets me keep monk AC. All that and some DR, I like the class a lot.
Taking psionic druid, because it fits well with the whole hippie vibe he's got going. He's kinda half plant, half art.
Extra dip class is probably water kineticist.
I don't like multi classing, or usually even prestige classing, but I'm making an exception this time for Evangelist on bard track.
I still keep on wavering on my dips. Hopefully, I find something I like.
@CaveToad: Does the +2 from outflank stack with the Warlord's Tactical Flanker ability allowing to use Cha instead of the normal +2?
No, I see them both as two different ways of getting higher flank bonuses through replacement, outflank basically changes the bonus to +4. The warlord changes it to CHA bonus, it doesn't imply that either ability is additive.
I wouldn't mind taking a teamwork feat for 4th level but I was pretty set on my 3rd level feat.
I must say that when things stay dead for as long as they have in this game my interest somewhat wanes. Hopefully we can manage to avoid too much of that in the future. I will try to catch up on the gameplay thread and get at least a post in today. If we pick up speed again and interesting things happens I am sure my interest and enjoyment of this game will increase again.
When Golden Ram advises that your group would like to learn to speak with the creature, it replies, and Golden Ram says that the mephit would greatly appreciate it, because if you plan to pull it away from its life and activities on a whim, it would prefer you be able to communicate effectively. Golden Ram notes, trying to restrain a smile, that the mephit advises that 'It has things to do and is a busy being, and being pulled away from its regular life to provide novelty to prime planars is not its idea of fun.'
I love this as the answer to "what are beings who are summoned doing while they are waiting to be summoned?"
I think I finally have what I want to cheese dip in, Inquisitor and Swashy Musketeer.
CT, Quassine wanted to know if Ania and Melanaj heard or asked anything regarding Goodwin during their diplomatic mission?
They did mention it to the Thain, but at that time the Thain was not interested in sharing information until more diplomatic proceedings had occurred. He had also sent one of the other groups on a special mission before he would share at information. Now, things have changed, and your groups are invited to join the dwarven community. Perhaps they may be more forthcoming with information.
I have no idea what to cheesedip now that I know warlord doesn't work. Maybe something that grants a bunch of feats... Paladin might have been nice, but might not fit flavor-wise...
@CaveToad: You never answered definitely if I could count my lance as a one handed piercing weapon (for regaining Panache and Precise Strike). You said you would think about it. If I can, it might be decent to go swashbuckler with my first cheesedip instead of my second one.
my cheesedips will be for the level 4 * x slot monk(master of many styles) for the other one maybe brawler (martial flexibility) or barbarian (movment speed and rage while wildshaped)
@Cavetoad: a wildshape question: what happens wenn I climb on someone and the wildshape into somehting big, like an elephant or a Whale or a brachiosaurus?
Unchained Barbarian seems much better for you than the standard one as it works with your normal twfing too.
The image of staying on top of someone's head and wildshaping into a whale is hilarious. Maybe use the rules from telekinesis? (1 or 1d6 damage per 25 pounds)
I hope we are able to come to an agreement to do about this IC issue. I'm kinda excited about going as a strike team, even if it kinda parallel to our main goal, it will potentially give us income for the turtle.
I also hope that people haven't lost interest from the long draught of posting and that things will pick back up again.

We will just put you in a nearby square. You can't use it to squash people.

Yes when wielded one handed (mounted) it seems as though it probably should. Lances are two handed weapons, but I supposed given its special mounted case it could sneak in.

Looks one handed to me ... ;-)

hey guys, sorry I check daily, but was out of town on a work conference since yesterday and didn't expect the activity as its been slow. I post around 30 times a day with all my games. I will catch up now.

When wielded one-handed... Problem is that I won't actually be doing that, I'll just have the option to do so. If I'm wielding it two handed I guess it's too much of a stretch (even though as far as I can tell a lot of swashbuckler abilities still work while you have the weapon in two hands).
All of your abilities work, you just can't regain panache with it in two hands but parrying with it is fine.

There is nothing under regaining panache that says you have to wield it in one hand. Are you perhaps confusing it with either precise strike or the effects of slashing grace? If CaveToad rules that I can regain panache while using my lance (two-handed), I'll go inspired blade instead and try to get by with the limited (currently 11) number of uses per day.
What is the code for a paladin of Ragathiel?
