Thanks for letting me join! I'll get this profile updated this weekend to reflect my level up.

Hi! Thanks for the invite to join! I just need to update my character in the next few days(actually switch factions to one form the new rules) but should be ready to play regardless.
Sun Desin |
Hopefully have the character retooled either tonight or tomorrow at the latest. I have a b-day party after work today so depending on how long that takes it may take until tomorrow to finish it up.

Leepo has arrived! You may all be impressed now... (well, not likely)

Thats one of the things I love about this PbP, the more I do it, the more I start to recognize people. Glad to be a part of this group with you Aerondor!
So I see a Cavalier, Druid, Bard, Summoner, Ranger and one unknown. I think we should do pretty well!
GM, Before we start I would like to purchase a few things. I would like to spend 5 Prestige Points on the Farmstead Vanity so I can use my Handle Animal skill for a day job, and then also I would like to spend the gold to get my Halberd alchemically silvered. The spot in the equipment section is vague enough to not explain if you need to buy one that way, or if you can have a current one altered, but the description makes it seem like you can have it done to an existing weapon. If so, then I will spend the 180 gold to have it added to the halberd.
Please let me know if there will be any issues with that, thanks!

Seems fine to me, as long as the halberd's made of regular steel:
"A complex process involving metallurgy and alchemy can bond silver to a weapon made of steel so that it bypasses the damage reduction of creatures such as lycanthropes." - source
Keep in mind you'll now suffer a –1 penalty on damage rolls.

To get around that,k I generally use a silvered mace or flail. The flail being a Two hander is expensive, but blunt weapons don't get the damage penalty.

Where did you read the blunt weapons do not suffer this -1 damage penalty? Looking at the source linked by StephNyan, that is not shown.

Nevermind, I am dumb. I did not read it all the way. Sorry!

See I just took that as not being able to apply it to blunt weapons, silly me for not reading it correctly. Thanks!
In that case, I will spend the same money to silver the heavy flail instead of the Halberd, as long as that is ok. That way I can avoid the -1 damage penalty...

What about crossbow bolts? On the ammunition page only bullets are described having as "silver version".
Those bullets are made with real silver, not alchemical silver. They're more expensive than regular bullets, and automatically confirm crits against lycanthropes.
If you open the source I linked earlier, you can read that the item cost modifier for alchemical silver ammunition is +2gp. This is for each piece of ammunition.
Regular crossbow bolts cost 1gp for 10. For 10 alchemical silver crossbow bolts you'll pay 1gp + 10x2gp = 21gp. And because crossbow bolts deal piercing damage, there's a –1 penalty on the damage rolls of your bolts.
If I am able to have made them yet, my extract is cure light wounds, and my mutagen is for strength.
I always expect characters to have prepared their extracts/spells before they arrive at the venture-captain's briefing. Just like I treat all firearms and crossbows as loaded at the start of the game.
When I play in someone else's game I often mention my character checks if his/her weapons are loaded, etc.

Sure, go ahead! Though you may want to mention it's alchemical silver when you write it in your profile, to prevent confusion in the future :)

I too was laden with events, though mine were friend from college visiting.I should be ready to play. I will strive to post twoish times a day, though sometimes at work it can be too hectic to get any PbP in

GD3 events can start after 1st november, they just have to finish by Feb-3rd. I'd not worry too much about getting free for a game, they typically take 6-8 weeks, so if we push there will be time to get this done and also finish a GD3 event with these characters.

Hi Lizzy - thanks for the help. This is my first go as a summoner, so I may very well have done something wrong. However, let me explain my thinking, and then maybe you can help me clean it up.
First, let me clarify that my eidonlon is not a quad, but a biped. So this gives a 16 str base, and free claws with my arms (but not with my legs, I think). Then I spent 2 of my 3 evolutions on improved strength, giving an 18 final. I believe that is +4.
My third evolution was spent on adding a bite.
So his full attack appears to me to be claw/claw/bite - all at +5 (+1 BAB/HD, +4 strength).
I do not have a pounce attack, which I think is a common reason people pick quads, but I pictured this guys as more of a biped (and I am not much of a min/max sort anyway). He also has skills in acrobatics, stealth and disable device, so I m sort of thinking of him as a rogue backup as well - even though his Dex isn't so hot right now).
StephNyan |
I suggest you do that, as it'll last at least till this game's over. But do make a note about what you've changed, to ensure you won't forget to undo it after the scenario.
I always change my character's profile and stat bar to reflect such changes, but I make the changes in ooc text. That way I can easily recognize what has to be changed back when I've finished a game :)
Pooka Bladespinner |
I put my old info in a spoiler so I can just delete the changes when we get this fixed...

Ohh... I think I want to... but I already have 5 games in process.... I would love to do the Glass river rescue, I have heard its pretty cool. If I am going to do one, I think I need to do it with this character, so the timing might not work out on that...
Leepo Toggenburg |
I just put my name down for the Glass River - a new archer monk character. It looks to be fun!
Pooka Bladespinner |
Thank you for leaving the lion man to me! I have been waiting 5 scenarios now to actually use both of my feats, Mounted Combat and Ride by Attack. This might actually only be the second time I can use a charge in all of the combats, and actually get to do the ride by attack part as well!
*unreasonably excited*
Pooka Bladespinner |
Ugh... Just realized I completely forgot to use my ability to prep party members to possibly re-roll a failed save... That might have come in handy...

I will be heading down country to a wedding and will be without internet for a few. I do have the wayfinder ap for my phone, but it does not seem to let me post as my character. I do have an alias on the paizo forums (Red Fang) set up that works I can post as if that is acceptable. If not feel free to bot me if I am tardy in responding.

I'd rather have you post with a different alias than not at all ;)
Though you won't be the only one gone:
I'll be on camp Wednesday - Friday, and the internet connection is rumored to be awful where I'm staying. I'm taking my laptop with me, but I can't guarantee I'll be able to make posts while there.

By the way I'm travelling over the next week, so posting will be eratic for the next seven or eight days.
