Next level, I will take levels in Weapons/Armor and I can also take Create Magical Weapons and Armor or someone else? I wanted to finish up my current crafting skills so all I have to do is take 10.
two bows for Kiki are on the list as well

I don't think craft magical weapons and armor is worth it. Kiki got too high dex to use it (+10 with cat's grace) and none of Simon/Quassine/Aster/Cryxial/Goliath uses armor. Weapons we all got funded (though Kiki probably want to funnel some more into hers at some point). That leaves very little for the feat to do.
I prepared one enlarge person. You never know what we may need it for.
I play it by ear for Create Magical Weapons and Armor. If we come by more resources than actual magic weapons, I will take it so I can supply you all or most of you.
@Kiki: So you've decided on improved initative over hone weapon?
I think I will switch to hone weapon
Might be a good idea to mention using it in your morning rituals and such then :).
Sweet we are almost 300 post ahead of table one and nearly double the others and we are the highest level now. Lets keep the pace moving and kick some Giant butt :)
Here is my suggestion for paladin code of Desna. Feel free to make adjustments, add or remove clauses that doesn't make sense:
I will seek to do good deeds before all else and let my example be an inspiration for others.
I will never give up hope, no matter how grim a situation or divination might be and it's my solem duty to try to change the outcome of dire portents.
I will always speak my mind and let noone put bonds to my words and I will fight for other's right to have their say as well.
I will not let anyone imprison me or any other unjustfully and will seek those who are confined without good cause.
I will do whatever is in my power to protect the innocents from direct attack. I will fight with all my power against those that threaten the common folk, especially those that seek to prey on dreams.
I will seek to stop the evil agents of Lamashtu and others I find attempting to do evil deeds.
I will always seek new experiences and travel the endless paths of the world, even if it's only a short trip around a settlement I will not let myself be shackled down to remaining stationary and without new input.
Actually, I just thought of something.
Cavetoad, would you allow the Ravenous Oracle Curse if I took Oracle instead of Mesmerist?
It's probably getting kinda late for changing things around (I also think mesmerist is a pretty awesome choice), but isn't the Hunger curse nearly the same thing? That's paizo material.
I'm going with mesmerist. I just liked that one for the curse powers.
It wouldn't affect me either.
Doesn't really matter, though. Mesmerist is good.
Kind of unfortunate that we are one of the groups that traveled the furthest away but we still arrived back before most others. Synchronization issues are not fun and meshes with immersion. I wish we were more separate so we wouldn't run into such things.
Yes, everyone is sort of operating from the same area, but things are separate enough to keep the tables more or less distinct and not terribly dependent on the timeline to keep things straight. In theory it could become strained at some point but that depends on a lot of things.
What did you think of the code?
I think its pretty cool. I like it a lot and Desna seems to fit your character reasonably well.
I have to check my notes again but in the world, the summer solstice is arriving, and there is the starfall ritual. It seems rather innocuous, but would be cool nonetheless.
Did you write up the code yourself or was it online somewhere?
Thank for liking it :). I came up with it myself, though I drew heavily upon the lore from Faith's of Purity. I tried to keep it true to Desna rather than to mold it to Xanya specifically. Of course the book does mention that there are very few restrictions put on Desnaens, so maybe it would have been better to go with a shorter code, though pretty much all the things in the code are taken from there. A couple things worry me about it. It's not very forgiving. That is, it doesn't give second chances to evil like Sarenrae for example. This kinda goes against Goodwin's actions even if he didn't try to bind us to his code/morality. Lamashtu is the mother of beasts, so seeking out to destroy her agents would be somewhat like seeking intelligent monsters like ourselves. Also the last part kinda goes against settling down, but I don really want it to be very strict. There were mentions of cleric that travelled back and forth between their temple and the local village every day I'm thinking that even such limited traveling should be sufficient to fulfill that part.
A starfall ritual sounds awesome.
Yeah, it can be tricky, but I think that Xanya is focused on freedom and the unique background of everyone's upbringing by Goodwin makes it fit well, along with the travelling aspect.
Normally I'd assign you a Hero Point for the write up, but you might be maxed out at 3.
I'll check my calendaring for the world and let you know how many game days away the starfall ritual is.

I should have gotten the extra hero point feat :(. Or maybe waited to do the writeup :p. I don't suppose I can bank the hero point? ;)
heh no, but maybe some other good will come of it somehow ;)
@Kiki: Is it correct that you have no Primal Fury maneuvers? This means you'll be unable to pick up Frenzy Strike without spending a slot on a lower level one first. That's one of the few maneuvers that actually do work with multi weapon. May I suggest Raging Hunter Pounce?
Yep I took the Hero feat at level 3 just so I didn't miss out on a hero point. And with the stuff we are facing having 5 can save me if stuff gets bad. It was a bit selfish I guess but I took it over outflank. Outflank is great but the ability to hit normally scales way faster the AC. We will see how it plays out.

As soon as Kiki gets all her wakizakis she'll have roughly 48% chance of landing a crit (76% with improved critical). That's quite high chance of getting an extra attacks. In addition it turns your own crits into super crits where everyone else who threatens that opponent get an AoO. Of course she doesn't have all her wakizakis yet and you could just pick it up next level instead (when Xanya also picks up Golden Commander's Stance to make it even better). All the stuff we pick up is situational to some degree. Hopefully we'll manage well enough with the choices we've made.

I will probably switch flick of the wrist for it.
I'm not saying its not good, but this game will probably be far from traditional and we all probably need to be prepared to handle a challenge one on one. Yes a single victim will fall quickly to such an attack for sure.

We will undoubtedly face a wide variety of challenges. Obviously not all of our abilities will be useful in all of them. I don't think being split up will be a frequent occurrence though, this is a team game and it puts an extra strain on the GM to run extra parallel timelines when he is already running so many. Still we should prepare to handle a wide variety of things being thrown our way, attacks, spells or other things.
No I don't think we will be split up either but similar to the last battle. We may all end up with our own combatant and not have a good way to aid each other. Focus fire is always better though. Just like in the last battle we were able to take out the wyvern do to some lucky crits and your massive charge on the centaur then let us bring down the giant with ease well thanks to it being dazed. If we charged in and attacked them all at the same time I think the battle would have went differently. I think Kiki should go butterfly sting for sure as crit's don't do a lot for her as her damage comes from sneak and number of attacks. With Goliath's reach and you with a lance and our big static bonus's this will work out really well. Outflank again is great but if Kiki hits 4 times and has sneak on all of them and its after you have charged it I don't think it matters if you get an extra attack. It may already dead, but maybe not. I will be taking it as well it just may be after level 8 :)
Well she does regain panache (though sadly I don't think there is any way for her to get opportune riposte and parry) and she could go down the critical feat chain instead. Butterfly sting is also two feats, though obviously available much earlier than the good critical feat things. I agree with you that it is quite good when it works, but it is quite a lot of hoops to get through in order to do so. She has to crit, her extra damage has to not be enough to kill whatever she is facing and we have to be attacking the same target for it to work. It's going to be much less frequent than the the bonus from outflank imo. If she combines it with an charge attack from Xanya using the maximum stamina that is an extra potential 2d6+68 damage though which is much more than she would generate from her own critical (assuming IC, banner, bull's strength, rage, mutagen, hone. All of those will probably not happen all that often, but the bonuses will still be great). You might wonder if that isn't overkill, but given how much HP the enemies we faced already have (50x our level), I don't think we'll run into the problem of dealing too much damage very often.
I believe the meals used/day is not updated to match the number of eating people (even if the number of eating people now is correct).
I think I could get it if I realy wanted, there are some Arctypes that grand it
I think they removed that option from pretty much everywhere but the base swashbuckler. Still you are dex focused so your AC will just continue to rise as you boost that. Though it'll be hard to find any armor that can keep up with the dex bonus. Mage Armor will be good for a long while though. It's nice to be able to parry touch attacks and the like though with your size you would take a hefty penalty anyway. Xanya will eventually grow large through either Giant Form or greater eldritch heritage (orc).
It's that latent orc DNA that makes Xanya so mad sometimes. Maybe some large lower tusks are starting to grow within, and like a baby teething, she gets ornery ;)
Yeah assuming I have the feats down the line Goliath's orc blood will come to the surface as well. Eldritch Heritage Orc, Greater Eldritch Heritag Orc, Quicken Spell like ability Touch of Rage.
Though with my destructive smite, touch of rage will only help in the to hit area which may be needed. Also the inherent bonus to Str is great.
I am looking at Eldritch Heritage Ghoul for Kiki ;)
Mybe I will try to retrain Saw Terror.
What is it you want in the ghoul bloodline? Just curious
2-4 claws (depending on CT's ruling) with paralysis (scaling with level, I think), works while wildshaped
@CT: can I use wood shape to make bows?

Yeah, it says 2 attacks, but seems likely a case where they ignore that facts that multi-arms races might exist.
probably will still go with 2 though. Not sure 100% yet. Similar issue as lots of the PoW stuff.
@CT: can I use wood shape to make bows?
You could probably use it to make a shortbow or longbow, but not composite. You still need to make the other parts, like the string etc, so still might need other components and some craft skill, but it might shave off time for sure.
Getting a bowstring in Kiki's size should be quite easy I think, compared to a bow.
could I do the necesary crafting untrained?
Crafting can always be done untrained. It just takes much longer with a lower skill bonus. Luckily Xanya can give +6 to the roll fairly easily. A normal longbow takes 50 days to craft with a roll of 15 or higher every day, 25 days with a roll of 20 or higher ~17 days with 25 or higher etc. I'm not sure how much wood shape would cut down that time though.
Back from the weekend. I will read and catch up.
ditto

I suspect you can purchase a smaller string or have one shortened. The bow staff part itself is probably the most time consuming.
Having made Flemish bow string it takes an hour or two.
Simon speaks new common roughly and I have share language if neccesary.
I am going to be delayed in posting, I am in training for the VMware NSX Network and Security module for the next couple of days.
