But...the juices are the worst part. Why wouldn't you want food to be nice and dry?
Outside of soup, of course, because that's homogenous and so it's fine that it's wet.
One hydra heads meat is the others poison. That's all I'm going to say on that.
I ate some beef jerky today, that's the first time I've had meat since the 14th. It was so wet and juicy that I had to take real small bites. Odd.
In other news, the bit about flailing them was meant as reference to good old Genghis, not to the practice of whipping.
So... it's mostly been Ziphora and Tomorbataar posting of late. Both Hungry and Blockhead have PM'd me and let me know about some real-life problems that have been eating up their time and attention, but what about Dru-head and Hothead? Are you still around? Have you just felt you've had nothing to contribute and I need to move things along? Or is real life eating you, too?
Yeah, sorry about that. :/ I've had people visiting lately and simply haven't had the time to write anything up. I should be able to post normally from now on, touch wood.
Hi guys, its me.
Medication changes, insomnia and depression have been kicking my butt lately, and getting much worse.
I have been having a blast with you guys, it has been very fun being stuck to you and the hijinks we got up to, but I am going to have to step aside for a while until this sorts itself out.
Ill miss you guys lots, I hope you will be able to continue the game without me for a long time :)
`Cameron out.
Sounds alright to me, Hothead, it's nice to get several different people arguing past each other.
Good luck Cameron, I hope you find some strength somewhere.
Well... I suppose that means I need to contact a replacement. I think I'll only get one. Hmmm... I think Beachhead would probably still be willing to jump in, if I remember our last recruitment well...
All the best, Blockhead.
That just sounded wrong. *sighs*
Personally thought a cure for insomnia was to run yourself flat.
To be clear, since that came out kind of callous-sounding, I had already bid farewell to him via PM.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Well... I suppose that means I need to contact a replacement.
!!! You should pick Beachhead!
I think I'll only get one.
Make sure it's Beachhead!
Hmmm...
BEACHHEAD!
I think Beachhead
*gasp!*
would probably still be willing to jump in, if I remember our last recruitment well...
Yay!
Hi, all! Glad to join the campaign!
Yay, Hungry! Good to 'see' you again! :D
Also, welcome, Beachhead! Hopefully we'll be getting back on track here instead of just having two heads doing all of the talking. But Real Life never ends its ceaseless war against Fantasy, so... well, hopefully nothing else will come up that will knock another head out of the game.
About stealth and stuff? I don't think we're stealthing anywhere, not with a 20 ft huge @ss body...
Oh, come now, being Huge only gives you a -8 to Stealth... and all of you heads could hide! Then the bugbears would be very confused!
Its just so wrong. Its about as bad as a rogue having an ioun stone on top of his head, trying to stealth, with a floating light bulb on top of him. How, even if he rolls high for stealth, can monsters fail to spot him when he's walking around with a spotlight?
It can work. Besides, maybe the light is there to distract the other guy.
If I were GM, I would give him the invis bonus, but monsters know where he is, and roll 50% concealment chance to hit him. Geez. Stealth rules make no sense. Again, I dislike rogue class.
The d20pfsrd ioun stone page doesn't actually mention light. But I'd say that you'd manage it by being a daring rogue. Or hydra, as the case may be.
If you're using those ioun stones for light then yes its light. Or light spell..torch...whatever for all those rogues who don't have darkvision.
Well yeah, but you can have lights and still be sneaky. Real sneaky people rarely have darkvision.
If it comes to a fistfight, I can hit them, too. Sounds like something Dru would say.
What about unrestrained power?
Real sneaky people rarely have darkvision.
I know a shadowdancer who would disagree with that statement.
Down the route of unrestrained power lies madness. With great power comes great insanity.

Dru's not home right now, he's thinking about being Battlecat. Although fistfight is an interesting choice of words given our selection of PC's. Personally, Im happy to use my in game power to crush my enemies and see them driven before me.
Sorry, Hungry, can't haste you since I can only catch 6 people, and I need to catch the body and I figure as a wizard, you probably won't be attacking...
It's alright. Hungry most definitely deserved it for some evil deed he did in the past.
Sorry, that may have been a bit unclear, what I meant was that actual humans who are sneaky, you know, like uh...professional theives, but they're human and really exist. They don't get darkvision, because it's not actually necissary much of the time. Like, whenever the moon's out one can pretty much see, although if it's cloudy I will admit that it's basically impossible to do anything without artificial lights.
Silly me...I meant to say uh...dogfight. There we go, happy, kitty? Liking the use of quotes to really uh, drive home the point.
I think the humans should be french because when you first think of them they're squishy and weak and pushovers, but then when you think for a bit more about the actual first world war you realize that they did lots and lots of work. Also I like that the lizards have to make tea now. Is the GM taking notes? :P
Oh, lots of notes. >:D
I just noticed now and kinda find it funny that my Fireball literally one up'd Hothead's (My DC is one higher and it rolled one more damage).
Most dungeons don't have light =( As in total darkness.
I heard the British made tea even in the battlefield. They need a kettle!
I just noticed now and kinda find it funny that my Fireball literally one up'd Hothead's (My DC is one higher and it rolled one more damage).
Only because I was staggered and couldn't use Focused Spell. :(
Yeah, that's absolutely true. I've found the rate of like, cave style dungeons is not terrifically high, however.
Totally need to carry kettles everywhere, and make like, swampwater tea or something.
Why is Hothead Staggered?
It's from his Oracle's Curse, always staggered on first round of combat but get uncanny dodge and +4 initiative in return.
Heh. Every dungeon I've been to has no light. And everything went up in flames =)
Just like, spontaneously, or...? o_O
It had help =)
Also, side question I've been confused on. I know Barkskin stacks with Dru-heads regular natural armor, but does the bonus from wildshape stack too? The way I'm reading it, I don't think it does because it says "you gain natural armor" not "your natural armor increases."
Hmm...the spell is a polymorph spell, so it should follow those rules. Let's see:
http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic#TOC-Transmutation-Polymorph
"Each polymorph spell allows you to assume the form of a creature of a specific type, granting you a number of bonuses to your ability scores and a bonus to your natural armor. In addition, each polymorph spell can grant you a number of other benefits, including movement types, resistances, and senses. If the form you choose grants these benefits, or a greater ability of the same type, you gain the listed benefit. If the form grants a lesser ability of the same type, you gain the lesser ability instead."
Looking a little deeper, I can see that there is at least some merit to multiple interpretations. Here are links to some posts from James Jacobs:

http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2l7ns&page=434?Ask-James-Jacobs-ALL-your-Qu estions-Here#21679
Hmmm... having looked over the rules in question, I could see it either as "Your natural armor increases" or "This becomes your new natural armor". While I could see the argument that the second option is the 'correct' one from a verisimilitude perspective... this is magic we're talking about. Go ahead and add it on top.
Clearly they didn't make this more explicit because the rules are so unfairly humanoid-centric. You should go protest that.
...I now have the mental image of a six-headed hydra in front of the Paizo offices holding signs in its mouths like "Equal rules coverage for Magical Beasts!" or "Stop the humanoid tyranny!" XD
Id protest but for different reasons. Why is it ruled you need a hand for somatic coomponents for spellcasting? Can't tails, paws, wings, heads and other appendages work as well?
Somatic (S)
A somatic component is a measured and precise movement of the hand. You must have at least one hand free to provide a somatic component.
*wears a 'Discrimination against non-humanoid spellcasters' placard, then bobs her head up and down*
Shouldn't the leader be provoking AoOs when he crawls?
You can crawl 5 feet as a move action. Crawling incurs attacks of opportunity from any attackers who threaten you at any point of your crawl. A crawling character is considered prone and must take a move action to stand up, provoking an attack of opportunity.
Maybe he has some obscure ability that negates that or something?
I suspect rogue crawl talent. But since its possible, I sure as heck am not going to question the GM on how NPCs are built.
Benefit: While prone, a rogue with this ability can move at half speed. This movement provokes attacks of opportunity as normal. A rogue with this talent can take a 5-foot step while crawling.
And Here
What happened is that I didn't look up the rules for moving while prone because I forgot they existed. He was very, very dead either way, so it didn't really matter in the end.
It doesn't look like anyone has any magic items, is that correct?
I don't really care, we're on APB, and more or less nearly immortal. You can take those items if you want, that is if we even have slots to use them lolz...there's discrimination for non humanoids in terms of slots too.
Yeah, pretty much all you can use are amulets, headbands, and other things that go on your head. Most helmets will rudely not be hydra-shaped, either.
We got a few things going for us at least. And there's some extra rules about non-human item shapes and whatnot. Besides, shouldn't we get a neck slot? We're like, 80% neck, 15% teeth, and 5% other.
You can take those items if you want
Whoa, I wasn't suggesting that. In fact, being the new guy, I was going to defer to anyone else who wanted them. I was just curious.
But your point about the relevant slots is well taken.
I think amulet= neck slot. Problem is we have natural armor....ah the thought about calculating more nat armor maths if they stack or not is giving me a headache.
Shoulder slot then. Unless someone wants to argue with hydra capes.

Yeah, when I said amulet I meant neck. :D An Amulet of Natural Armor would stack with your natural armor--it gives an Enhancement Bonus to Natural Armor, so it increases existing natural armor. Wouldn't stack with Barkskin, though.
