Going to be posting slow this holiday weekend.
Limited connection!
Sorry about the delay. I got demolished at work the past few days. Thank you for botting me. That's exactly what I would've done.
It doesn't seem like we can see the list of gameplay threads the same way we used to, at https://secure.paizo.com/paizo/messageboards. Is that the case, or is it just a temporary technical problem, or something that I am misunderstanding?
Yeah, I know. Maybe they will fix that with enough comments.
Right now I am going to the Campaigns tab from my profile page to see my campaigns.
If I try to dispel the Blink effect, does my dispel have a miss chance?
Yes, it would, as best as I can tell. Dispel Magic doesn't extend to the Ethereal Plane.
I would allow 3.5's Transdimensional Spell as a feat, in the future.
Ok cool. Now just to get 4th level spell slots to use it with Dispel Magic.
Heh.
I'll do something different instead. It seems like we're doing ok at hitting them.
Never mind! My mistake. Dispel Magic is an abjuration so it does affect targets on the Ethereal. You can target one of the two Barghests.
Also: among the capstone feats there are ways to get 4th-level spell slots that you can use for Metamagic'ed spells of 3rd and lower.
Oh interesting. It's cool though. I'll stick with the healing action.
Hmmm... This is going to split the fanbase. We'll have PF Classic, Core, and 2E games. I absolutely love Core but I do worry it's going to get dropped.
You know, I've honestly been getting frustrated with the rules bloat as a GM with Pathfinder, so I'm very ready for a new edition.
I'm excited!
one of the reasons I have switched over to 5e was Pathfinder bloat. But I am very interested in the description of character generation and the thought of a new version...will have to wait and see....
Yeah ThAC0 is back!
Is Elf a class again? That would be awesome.
HAHA...I just bought a copy of the D&D Cyclopedia and Bestiary. Looking to maybe run a really old school game in The Known World!!
I'm a huge fan of Classic D&D and the Known World. My favorite system. Hope you enjoy it!
I loved it when we played in the day....I loved my elf character (both class and race...so very cool!) He was trained at the school of magic in Galantri (sp?)
My first PC was a halfling (race and class). Loved that little guy.
I realized two things:
1. I made myself responsible for managing party loot.
2. I haven't been managing party loot.
So I'm going to try to catch up If some of this stuff got distributed already, let me know; otherwise I think the following has not been distributed:
Belt of Constitution +2
Wand of Magic Missile CL 5 (15 charges) (note--Tal'ariel cannot actually use this because Illusion and Evocation spells are forbidden to her. Someone with UMD should take.)
Potion of Invisibility
Potion of Cure Serious Wounds
Potion of Bull's Strength
Have we had a chance to sell some valuable old loot? I'm guessing not and we'll need to wait for a visit to Brindol or something. Next time we have a chance to spend gold, I will make a tally and distribute the gold to the party for spending. There's currently a bit less than 5,000 gp, and some pearls that are probably equivalent to currency.
I took the Bull's Strength from the Gorge.
The Belt would be better served on one of our other frontliners (Mikhail, Thom, Tal), I have enough Fortitude for the vast majority of rolls.
Mikhail or Thom can take the belt, I already got some nice armor earlier.
I found some spell templates here. I could re-create them myself like I did with the 20' radius one. If anybody can easily turn them into wireframe images that I can stick over maps, that could be useful. Just create a new slide on the combat maps PPT and stick the images there.
Cool, I can probably set those up tonight.
Mikail, can I declare that you have the Belt of Constitution +2 for now? Seems like you have a greater need for hit points.
Sounds good thanks.
Sure...I did not want to just bull in and take it, but Mikail can sure use a little boost in the HP department!!!
@ Mikail - Actually, your HP are quite a bit lower then mine go ahead and take the belt.
Is there nobody who is visible from outside the palisade at the moment?
That is correct. If not for the fog, the ones on top might be visible. And the ogres' heads are just about level with the top of the palisade, but from your angle you can't see them. If they step onto the berm up against the wall, they can see well enough to throw spears, but right now they are not on that berm.
I will be on the road for traveling over the next 24 hours please bot me as necessary. Thom will continue to hurl Lightining.
Back to normal posting. Thanks for botting me!
I will get up XP awards and other developments tonight or tomorrow.
XP!
Spreading the word to Terrelton, Nimon Gap, Talar, and Witchcross: 4000
Barghest Patrol: 4800
Blockade: 6400
Total: 15,200 (2,533 XP each)
New Total: 17,083 + 2,533 = 19,616 XP (384 to go until first Epic feat!)
The main source I am using for Epic and Signature feats is the P6 Codex. But I am flexible. Many capabilities that a 7th-level character could have are suitable for Epic feats. You can also take a Signature feat, special Epic feats that grants abilities normally gained at 8th level, but you are limited to just one, plus one more after hitting ten Epic feats.
Of course, this source doesn't include non-Core classes, so if you want an ability that your class would grant at 7 or 8, send me a PM and we'll figure out prerequisites.
If you are multiclassed, I would allow a feat to gain an ability one of your base classes would grant in the 1-6 range, with the same basic principle; +1 level for an Epic feat, +2 for Signature. So Tal'ariel could get Uncanny Dodge for an Epic feat (as she would get it with 1 more level of Rogue), or Shishka could get Inspire Courage +2 with a Signature feat (she would get it with 2 more levels of Bard). Bran could get Adrenaline Deed with an Epic feat (1 more level of Darechaser), or Knockout with a Signature feat (2 more levels of Brawler).
Added loot to the loot table!
We have 6 CLW and 2 CMW potions to distribute. That's 1 CLW potion for everyone--please everyone add to your inventory.
Who wants the CMW potions?
I'll take one if no one requires... Though I am hoarding 5 apparently o.o
So I wanted to apologize for my lack of activity. I've been working lots of 12 hour days and I haven't had a day off in two weeks. I think I'll be able to get things settled down soon, but for now, please bot me as needed.
I will try to post as I can.
I am in the same situation as Seltazar the last several days. I am transitioning to night shift over the next couple of days and have let many of my games lapse.
I never did respond to Bran--if you don't mind, Tal'ariel will grab the two CMW potions.
More loot!
I'm thinking the following distribution:
A Headband of Intellect +2 - Seltazar
A +2 Rapier - No idea because we're all pretty tied to specific weapons. . . who is lacking in a magic weapon?
A Pearl of Power (2nd level) . . . so many choices. Maybe Thom?
A Ring of Protection +2 - Bran
720 GP
Bran doesn't have magic at the moment, so he could hold the Rapier for the time being. I would say give it to Shishka but small sized makes it hard for her to use the medium rapier (I'm assuming its medium). Is Seltazar proficient with Rapiers? Would he want such a thing?
Take the CMW's, I'll mark them off of mine.
I would love the Ring of Protection +2 as it does double duty for my CMD and AC.
On the rapier: the AP does suggest making most of the treasure customized to the PCs. ("75% of the GP value should be items they would choose for themselves.") I didn't really think about this with the rapier. Still, the 75% value seems about right in this cache. The treasure in this case is from a wizard's manor. So why a rapier? Well, most likely, it was an Elven wizard (normally familiar with rapiers). Therefore, probably Medium-sized. But what to do with it?
Seltazar swapped out Weapon Familiarity, so can't use the rapier.
Thom isn't proficient.
Mikail and Tal'ariel have favored weapons of different types.
Shishka is too small to use it effectively.
Bran could use it, but it's not exactly his style.
Can it be changed into another weapon?
I would be fine with a ritual to transfer the enchantment to another weapon. I'm going to say it's an Epic ritual, and requires 1/4 the enchantment price in raw materials (so 2,000 gp for a +2 bonus). So there will be casters who can attempt this for you.
Bran, in addition to the Ring of Protection, you should take the rapier for the time being. If I may be greedy, I would be interested in having that enchantment transferred to Tal'ariel's blade once we're in a city. Her curve blade is her bonded object (and has sentimental value), so it is not easily replaced. Though that depends on how long it would take to transfer the enchantment--Tal'ariel is very, very ineffective if she does not have her bonded sword.
@GM Zelligar--As you touched on in gameplay, it seems like Tal'ariel has become somewhat of a diplomat for our group, roleplaying at far above her charisma level. Would you be open to me fixing my character to address that?
Since we're about to level up, there's a feat in the P6 Codex called Greater Skillfulness that Tal'ariel can take to basically gain 13 skill points (thanks to being a rogue):
Greater Skillfulness (Epic)
You are even more skillful.
Benefit: You gain a number of skill ranks equal to your favored class‘s skill ranks per level (including intelligence bonus) + 1. You may have seven ranks in any skill (as if you were 7th level).
Would it be possible for me to also switch one of my traits from "Warrior of Old" to "Clever Wordplay" or "Student of Philosophy"? Having gotten to practice diplomacy, Tal'ariel has learned to persuade by simply speaking the right words, even if she is somewhat lacking in forcefulness. But her desire to parlay dulls her reflex to fight when combat is unavoidable.
I'm fine with that, I don't really need a weapon for the most part (as he is basically a save or suck on a body). I'll mark it on mine for the time being. He could use the 1-H to keep his Buckler if he needs to play more defensively.
@Tal'ariel: That Epic feat is certainly available.
And you could retrain your trait if you wanted. I like your explanation for it.
Tal'ariel will be able to upgrade her bonded item when she gets back to a city as if she had the requisite feats. In fact, she can do that all by herself given the necessary components (3,000 GP to go to +2, I think, or could add a +1 special ability).
It will likely be possible to do that, and transfer the rapier's enchantment to Bran's cestus or Shishka's gun. I certainly want to keep all of you gear-wise at a place where you can handle the upcoming challenges.
My vote would be to give it to Shiska. While magic is important, I don't really require it as much as damage is really just a bi-product of lockdown.
@Zell: So the next "Level" feat is that an Epic, Signature or a normal one? I'm thinking of grabbing an Adrenaline Deed when possible if you allow it.
Your next level feat could be Epic, Signature, or a regular feat, whichever you want.
Adrenaline Deed would be an Epic feat (i.e. it would be available at 7th level). Adrenaline Rush +2 would be a Signature Feat -- or Knockout or Squad Commander.
All, I am going on a quick camping trip with the family and will be back Sunday evening.
Just waiting a bit for Shishka and/or Seltazar to weigh in before moving on. I know they have both been busy with work but hope they can stop by soon.
hi all, things have been crazy lately... on the plus side I have nearly finished remodeling my kitchen, and just today I have my stove and sink back just one more section of wall to tile.
started to look over the codex and realized I may have screwed myself. multi classing has made me ineligible to improve bard abilities, and there are no feats for gunslingers. the codex assumes that everyone is single classed to level 6.
not sure how to advance right now.
