It seems like you're here...
Little bit of craziness going on at work -- presses aren't working, which is a problem in the newspaper business -- so my schedule's a little bit in flux. Updates may be sporadic for the next few days.
I'm debating going to a single party/group initiative (which I sort of do already though we get that odd half-round to get there) and wanted to get feedback. I'd average everyone's initiative in the party and the antagonists and just have whichever average was higher go first.
Thoughts? Would people prefer that way, or rather continue as we've been doing it.

Initially, I don't like it because it nullifies a feat and a trait that I have in my build.
But supposing I wasn't being a selflish prick, I'm open for whatever works, Motte.
If we go that route, I'd ask for a bit of rebuild, but also could just suck it up.
Yeah, that's a big part of why I don't like the concept and hadn't done it up to this point.
Ya, I'm not a big fan, but whatever works for everyone else is ok.
Combat map's now updated.
A heads up, next week posting from me will be kind of unreliable. Monday shouldn't be a problem, tuesday might. I will probably not be able to post at all wensday through saturday. Please feel free to DMPC Silvio should he slow things down.
Sorry, guys, it's looking like update won't be until tomorrow morning.
I will be sporadic through the next 4 days; work times convention times a family trip. Just move me along, please. I'll be back by Tuesday.
Could you all do me a favor and put your basic stats up so it appears on your profiles, a la Zstelian (or Kyson). You can do it by adding it to the race or classes/levels line in your profile. The big ones I'd really like are all your ACs, though saves also help me a lot. Thanks!

Thanks for making me appreciate how good you are, GM Motteditor.

Woops, forgot about this. Is it OK to keep things like I have them? I.e. posting the stats in every round update? Helps since I write the post in google docs and then post it. Easier to update my status there than to go through the statusbar of my profile. Especially since it changes quite often.
Thanks for making me appreciate how good you are, GM Motteditor.
Cool!
Sorry, guys, work's a bit busy for the next week or so leading into Thanksgiving (so to Dec. 1). Will try to post daily still, but if I miss a day or two, please don't think I've forgotten you/disappeared.
Wow. And you guys thought you had it bad earlier with the T. rex. I'm running the little adventure in the Mythic Adventures book and there's a BADASS mythic T. rex there. First round of combat? I reduced their main melee combatant -- who was routinely doing 80+ points of damage in a round -- to unconsciously bleeding out. And I didn't even get to swallow her yet! If she hadn't won initiative and been able to close before it could attack (and thus have gotten an AoO on the way in), she'd have been just killed outright.
You know, I think I'm just going to go ahead and assume that I speak for the rest of the party here, GM Motteditor, when I say that we probably don't need to repeat that experience...either with the regular or mythic TRex.
Though it sounds cool, Kyson really doesn't need to permanently piddle his armor and new shield.
Thanks,
Kyson
Edit: Update: Pictures of the mythic beast. Was recently uncovered in Utah.
Just FYI, with Thanksgiving and Chanukah this week, I don't know how much posting I'll be doing between now and Saturday (games I'm not actually running are easier to keep up with, but even then I'll be on the road for a few days and visiting with family). I'm free and back home Saturday so expect to be able to post, but then don't know about Sunday. Monday I should be back to normal -- except I could have jury duty. :/
I'm going to try to get one more post in, before then, but I'd say this overnight break is a good spot to stop for a bit if I'm AFK.
Boom!

I've got 2 for fighter, 1 for int and one for favored class and 1 from....?), +1 intimidate (the trip as hardened Silvio, and it shows in his eyes), +2 diplomacy (the journey has given Silvio an small amount of empathy which helps him relate to others), +2 swimming (latent lessons learned at sea, because I wanted to bring it up to an even 10)

Sekathral's constant practice with his pistol is paying off
The hard slog through the tropical hell the party has been stranded on has toughened him up and constantly dodging thorny creepers, swatting mosquitos and avoiding snakes has made him even more light on his feet as before.
And talking through things with his colleagues and the colonists while on the march has helped to widen his view of the world!
+1 level sorcerer
+1 ability bump to charisma

A heads up: I have to go on a short work trip which spans thursday to friday, so my posting will be limited during that time.
Looking like I may not get a chance to post for a couple days here. Sorry.
Sorry about the delay. Will move you on shortly.
I've been working on a real life version of this. I made my Will save and happily Laura failed her. : )
Congratulations, Mott!
Yes, Congratulations, Mott!
Congratulations again! :)
Ooh...private note, Motte: you might want to keep the wife-to-be away from Silvio, IFKWIM. Just to play it safe.
Also, if you want Kyson to perform the ceremony, all you need but do is ask. I'm sure the Mrs. will be delighted to rise at 4am to hurriedly prepare for the sunrise ceremony. Brides love the lack of sleep on their wedding day, so I hear.
Also, will there be damsels and maidens at the wedding for Kyson to uhm...meet? And the officiant gets first choice of the bridesmaids, right?
She has no understanding of role-playing, but nonetheless she wants a hard copy of my module so she can show it off. If that's not love (or insanity), I don't know what is...
Zstelian's doing this in a game he's running for me, and it seems useful. I know you guys are under-treasured -- do you mind inventorying your gear so I can figure out exactly how badly and try to get you up to snuff?
Thanks.
Kyson's current gear value is 20135, according to HeroLab.
Of note are:
5315 Impervious Scimitar +1
1100 Mithral Shirt
4157 Wyrmsbreath, the Acid Shield
4000 Headband of Wis +2
3000 Rod Reach, Lesser
I have a feeling that my wealth will be on the high end as the scimitar and the shield are 9300 or so in value.
And for the record (i.e. myself), you guys should be around 33,000 gp. Wow. I guess we'll be going all Monty Haul soon. :)
Khazmia is at 15,605 per Hero lab, but that doesn't include the Dawnflower Diadem. I don't have a price for it that I could find.
Don't know how much wealth Silvio has. I'll check Herolab later tonight.
Silvio's total wealth:
920 gp in gold coins
13533 gp in gear (Darkwood Spyglass 10 000 gp, +1 chain shirt 1250 gp, mithral aldori dueling sword 1520 gp, oil of magic weapon 250 gp (5), antitoxin 150 gp, potion of endure elements 100 gp (2), tanglefoot bag 100 gp, potion of cure light wounds 50 gp, masterwork backpack 50 gp, vermin repellent 25 gp, mirror 10 gp, compass 10 gp, silk rope 10 and a few more items worth less than 10 gp)
Lots of stuff there that I didn't know I had. Like the Oil of magic weapon for example :) Silvio's poor!
The diadem is worth 5,400 gp.
Hey, guys, I'm excited to say I'm back in Superstar, so I might be a little sporadic again in posting. On the bright side, I've got a lot more of a head start than last time.
With all the Superstar monsters being revealed today, I may be a little absent for a bit while I catch up on them and work on potential R3 entries (plus my folks are coming to visit this weekend).
I've already counted on the RPG Superstar period causing a slowdown on the number of posts. We'll fill the time with inter character banter :)
I hope you advance to the next round!
Thanks! P.S. if you all want to vote for me, I'd certainly appreciate it. :)
Isn't that unfair, though, Mott? You're awesome, so you should be okay anyway.
I don't think it's unfair to ask people to vote. It'd be unfair if I said I did XX on my monster because of XX or so-and-so's complaint misses the fact that I did blah-de-blah-blah -- that's elaborating on the design -- but just asking people to vote's kosher. :)
/moves to vote anyway
Nownow, I wasn't accusing you of strong-arming or political machining.
Sorry, guys, I'm hitting peak Superstar/real life craziness right now. I'm trying to finish up my encounter's first draft before Tuesday, but I've also got my folks visiting all weekend and a Super Bowl party I have to go to (at least that one's with my gaming group, so I can multitask!). I'm still going to try to keep posting but there may definitely be a lull.
Hey guys, Round 3 entries for Superstar are going up in a couple hours. I'd certainly appreciate any votes you care to throw my way. :)
