Thanksgiving was last month. Crazy Americans with their November Thanksgiving. ;)

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

How is he avoiding it without a Perception check to find it? ;)
I was about to ask the same question. :)

What? I thought Sildu pointed it out.


Nope, Sildu merely said it existed, and Douena translated for her.


Yep, Joana's right. But that's okay. Mistakes happen. And since you did specify that you were trying to avoid the trap, I wasn't going to just drop the boulder on you. The DC to notice it was 20, which Mahjik could make easily by taking 10, so I went with that. :)

Spent my night teaching an online friend how to play Pathfinder while also playing other rpg stuff.

He too down three goblins, scared a bunch of marsh deer when he missed them with his arrows, took down a marshclaw(fresh water reefclaw) with three arrows(five if we count the two times he miss), and over all had a great time. He mentioned he was going to ask his college gaming club if anyone played pathfinder there. I had a lot of fun DMing the mini adventure too.

All in all, this was a great night! (^-^)


^ That's cool :) now the next step is instilling in him an irrational fetish for monk PCs


I've completely lost track of where you were with experience points, so I am simply going to advance everyone to the next level. You've effectively finished adventure 2 now, and that will put you exactly where you need to be for the next part!

Nice hp roll!

Urza is now the first dragon disciple I've ever had in any of my games.

No worries.

First Dragon Disciple I've seen since my Bard in Expedition to the Demonweb Pits.

After Christmas for myself as well. Work kills me this time of the year which leaves me with little time to do anything.

hit points: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Woohoo! Got in before LoreKeeper this time. He always steals the good rolls. :)


Two max hp rolls so far this level! I wonder if the trend will keep up. :-)


Is Accomplished Sneak Attacker from Dirty Tactics Toolbox an allowable feat, Navior? I'd link to it, but it doesn't seem to be up on d20pfsrd or Archives of Nethys, yet.

Your strikes against a foe's vital spots are extra deadly.

Prerequisite: Sneak attack class feature

Benefit: Your sneak attack damage increases by 1d6. Your number of sneak attack dice cannot exceed half your character level (rounded up).

1d10 ⇒ 9

Hey! Not bad. I got close. :)

Hopefully have him updated within the next couple days.

Yeah, I'm fine with that.

Definitely some good rolls this level. Just Mahjik and Makoa left. Will they break the trend?


Back on the Shiv (iirc), I took the feat Extra Rogue Talent to take the Ledge Walker talent.

Since then, Heroes of the Streets introduced the Edge Runner feat which does exactly the same thing and gives a +4 bonus versus falling. Since I was using a feat slot anyway, can I switch out Extra Rogue Talent for Edge Runner and get the extra functionality?

Rogue (burglar) level 3
hp: 8 (rolled above)
BAB +1

Still trying to come up with a feat and a 2nd level spell.

Outside of that I'm good.

That looks like a reasonable swap. Go ahead.

Happy New Year everyone! I hope everyone's had a good holiday.

Makoa and Mahjik still need to be updated to level 7. Lorekeeper said he'd be back in early January, so that should be soon. Dragonborn, level up Makoa!

Even if not everyone is fully levelled up yet, I'll get the game going again tomorrow. There won't be another combat right away, so there's still time to get stats updated.

Yes, but such a minor spoiler. A real spoiler would be if I told you that once you reach the city, you will encounter... Well, I suppose I shouldn't tell you that. :)


Dragonborn3! Did you forget about us again? You just posted about kobold sorcerers 4 minutes ago.


Okay, DB3 is posting elsewhere but not here.

I know LoreKeeper takes a long Christmas break, but he posted yesterday about his Unfettered Monk so he should be back in the land of the internet-equipped.

Shadow Lodge

Sick today. Respond tomorrow if I'm better.


HP: 1d8 ⇒ 6
BAB +1
Class: ki strike now also counts as silver and cold-iron
Feat: Extra Insight (high tumble) coupled with "high jump" drastically increases all acrobatic checks (not just jumps)
Skills: +1 acrobatics, +1 perception, +1 sleight of hand, +2 stealth


PS - I'm back :) first holiday in 2 years, was well worth it. Check it out (turns and points to skin) I have a tan!

Shadow Lodge

Okay, so, it's clearly not that I haven't been on paizo. Joana's stalking(kidding) proves that. ;)

It's not that I've lost interest either though. I love the game! Navior does an amazing job that puts my rl GM, who is running the same game, to shame(it's to the point we're all really excited someone else is running next). I don't know what's going on with me, honestly.

With that said, I'll leave it up to you guys if I stay in the game or not. I don't want to slow a good thing down.


I certainly don't want to kick anybody out of the game. I think we've got a great group and I'd hate to see that dynamic change. A lot of us have been slow with responses lately (myself included). Hopefully, we can get that turned around and pick up the pace again. So I see no reason why you should leave the game if you don't want to, Dragonborn.

Just get Makoa levelled up! :)


I'm totally a stalker. I don't deny it.

But don't leave, DB3! What will we do without our big bitey guy?

Shadow Lodge

Working on leveling on and off, but first: Would this be better than the current profile sheet system I'm using?

Grand Lodge

Nice. For me, I like keeping everything on this website, though.

It looks fine to me. Honestly, I'm fine with people using whatever format they like as long as all the information is there somewhere. :)

Finished Serpents Skull in my offline gaming group tonight.

Guys, I think we're doomed. XD

Gain: Barbarian level.

+1 BaB
+1 Reflex
+1 Will

+2 Stealth
+3 Perception

Endure Elements class feature, from Invulnerable Rager.
Feat: Fight On

Hit Points: 1d12 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10


DB3, maybe the fact that you've already played the adventure and know what is coming is sapping your enthusiasm for it? I know I turned down an invitation to join a RotRL game run by a great DM because I've already played through the first book and can't face going through it all again pretending I don't know what's going to happen. Turns a game from exciting to busywork for me.

I can't speak for Dragonborn, but if that is the issue, I can say that this next adventure is likely to turn out very differently from what he experienced with his other group. By its very nature, every group is likely to experience City of Seven Spears very differently.

The adventure is not so much an adventure as it is a location the PCs go to. I'm sure everyone's aware of its rather poor reputation, and I suspect much of that reputation comes from the fact that it tries to describe a location that is too big for the amount of space. As such, it has very little guidance for GMs on what to do with the location (for example, there are tons of NPC stat blocks that have no more than a sentence or two describing the personality and motives of the character; some don't even get that much). So GMs have to pretty much make up the adventure themselves using the book as simply a campaign setting.

So, Dragonborn may know what his previous GM decided to do with it, but he has no way of knowing what I'm going to do with it. :)

Shadow Lodge

To be fair, it was months ago, and I'm not keeping up as much with a lot of my games. I've already mentioned how my GM for this was, and honestly... Navior is better at it. I'm sure he'll keep it exciting.


Just a heads-up for people looking for cool campaigns: unexpectedly Hell's Rebels has been turning into an absolute gem for us. A friend of mine is running it and its been amazing for us. Noteworthy is that *a lot* of encounters that would normally be combat encounters can be solved socially - and the Charisma stat is really relevant for the AP.

Currently we're just about finished with book 2 (and have already done parts of book 3).

Shadow Lodge

I almost put together a submission for a pbp here on the boards, but thought better of it, despite the weird/cool character creation for it. I'm glad to here it's a good adventure though!

My saturday group starts Carrion Crown this week, and Kingmaker for my friday group starts in February.


Have the NPCs leveled up at all? It's a little worrying not knowing how fragile they might be as we parade into the unknown.

Yes, they have.


Have the NPCs all got the wealth-equivalent of NPCs of their level?

:p

(Why yes! They have the power and wealth of friendship!)

Shadow Lodge

Friendship is OP.


Hey folks,

I've had a crazy week. My wife's health issues along with a bunch of other things have left me with little time. Should be back to normal in a couple days. Sorry for the delay.
