Hudson's humour was great in that movie.
And some of the other one-liners from the Marines and Ripley
I take that the GM has been reading his Numeria Book and Tech Guide
I have been reading the campaign setting yes :)
I look forward to getting the technology guide a little later this week.
I'm guessing that Campaign Setting book has some beasts in it, that your planning on using?
And I don't mind if you use the *Xenomorph from the link for a short bit, since Halloween is coming and all.
I going to get the Tech Guide, Numeria, and Advance Class Guide once all 3 are available to download.
Finally got to download the 3 products after Paizo server down days. Ready time now, to see how they changed the classes.
Some classes got changed very little, others enough that you'd need to rebuild a character's stat array.
Yep, hunter got some changes, and there also some interesting arch types that was not in beta.
Would this be a good opportunity to update characters, make changes? May change animal companions, or loose it completely (seeing Krist, really has not been in combat due to unable to see in the dark, I could remove all companion features, and turn into a simple non-combatant pet, if allowed, so as not to break the story).
Ooo, I liking some of the archtypes, they more in line of what I think the hunter should be.
Archetypes are never in the playtest.
I like to take the feral hunter archtype if it is possible, and revert Krist to just a simple non-combatant pet (so not to mess up the story so far, as Krist was the key for Xaikon first forming friends with Raskir).
Go for it.
So who wants the brave the lightning first? Assuming you go straight for the ladder and climb down there is only a 1 in 3 chance you get zapped.
Jayla is very curious, so decides to go first.
She tries to be as careful and observant as she currently can.
Reflex save just in case, your going for the ladder right?
Wow! Regardless of being interested in an archtype, hunter has major changes, affecting skill points number, bonus feats, spell list changes and going spontaneous casting, and other new abilities. I spend the weekend rebuilding character to the new rules and archtype, before moving through the lightning.
Jayla, remember this is discussion thread. Roll may change in game-play thread.
Whatever seems least dangerous, if that is the ladder then yes, she'd go for that.
With the changes to Hunter, Precise Shot became class feat at 2nd, and I had it from replacing the 3 traits. Now have either 3 traits or feat to choose. I really not sure what to take, any suggestions? Even thought of monster feats for flying such as Flyby Attack. Even Rapid Shot came up. then again can take 3 traits.
Oki, chose the 3 traits for the replacement of Precise Shot that became class ability at 2nd in the released ACG.
Updated to Feral Hunter, though there some issues still with it, plenty editing/design errors.
Maybe i'll dl it too.
I'm curious to archetypes
There is a bunch for slayer.
Love the book so far. So many options. Even new archetypes for old classes. I haven't gone through to see what changed on the shaman yet.
Not a particular archetype i'd apply to an android.
Some of the Bloodrager archetypes, I like, but not enough to swap out from the normal Bloodrager.
I be travelling from 2nd September until 27 September, so will have random access to internet.
I rolled for healing spell, but did not state actually casting it, and was asking Alvoise if he needed healing looking somewhat slightly cut up. He declined, if no one wants the healing, I toss the roll away.
Valeria could use it but didn't say anything. Assume it went to her.
GM, would it be too late for me to apply an archetype? I've been rereading them, and it turns out Empiricist is crazily appropriate for Henric, considering his intellect and past lives. It swaps out poison lore and poison resistance, neither of which I've used yet.
However, since I don't know where this campaign is likely to be headed, I'm not sure which would be more useful - Int to more skills, or knowledge of and resistance to poisons. If you could give me some advice without giving away anything big, that would be great! :-)
Well the campaign doesn't feature to much poison but it does feature quite a few toxic substances. Overall I think your good to use the archtype. Make the change if you want too.

You will have downtime yes
Nice. I don't think I ever fully revised to the official ACG so I will do that when I level up.

who remembers why you are here?
Everyone done leveling up?
I think we are....
Memory is a bit vague on why...
For the new feat, I changed Weapon Focus for Dodge as noted on the character sheet. Since we haven’t had combat or been in a situation where it affects anything I didn’t think it’d be a big deal.
So yes I'm finished leveling up.
Aren't we trying to find the identity of the man killed back in Caliphas? This is where he and he Silas met.
Ok so recap
You in a tavern and an old man is attacked by cyborg assassins who self destruct when their task is done.
You investigate and learn that the old man was a mage who had recently arrived in town using a caravan. The local sherif offers you a reward if you can learn more about the man or his attackers.
You contact the caravan that the old man used to leave Numeria and you learn he was on the run from something. You also learn then when he boarded the caravan he bid farewell to a young girl who stayed behind.
You decided to go to the town were he boarded the caravan to see if you can learn anything.
On the way you stopped at a mining town that was abandoned and all that stuff in the mine happened.
I'm housesitting and don't have access to my Herolab portfolios. Next time I swing by home, I'll update my profile.
Thanks for the recap, GM. It helps to have one every now and then. =)
If I was playing one of my clerics, I'd be curing you of radiation Henric.
Sorry, extremely busy weekend. Will level up when I get a chance.
I get a new animal for Speak with Animals (hex) at 1st and 3rd. Can I choose groups like birds and canines? The examples are more specific, for example eagles. If you're ruling as written, I think I will choose Feral Speech from the Witch Hex list (precluding me from taking any other witch hexes), which lets me speak to any kind of animal.
Leveling up. Converting to published ACG. Lost Spirit Whispers (WIS to AC/CMD so those went down by 3--ouch!) but gained Storm Burst.
feat is Extra Hex for Healing (touch as CLW)
A shaman who chooses the nature spirit as her spirit or wandering spirit gains the following ability.
Storm Burst (Su): As a standard action, the shaman causes a small storm of swirling wind and rain to form around one creature within 30 feet. This storm causes the target to treat all foes as if they had concealment, suffering a 20% miss chance for 1 round plus 1 round for every 4 shaman levels she possesses. The shaman can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + her Charisma modifier. At 11th level, any weapon she wields is treated as a thundering weapon.
ranks in Kn. Local, Perception, Ride, Profession (Herbalist), Spellcraft
I just letting you know I back home now from trip, yet have not slept for 2 nights, so very zombie. I will post tomorrow morning, when I feel like I have a brain again.
Sounds good
I had forgotten you mentioned you were going a trip my bad on that account.
GM--would like a ruling on how specific the creature type must be for Speak With Animals. Can it be birds and canines, or does it need to be owls and wolves (for example)?
Raskir can now use his Healing shaman hex to do a CLW on any person (or animal) once per day (once per target that is). Ought to be handy.
