Hey guys! I forgot to ask - who's with the Touched by Divinity trait too, like I am? I worship Desna (as you can see by the big monarch holy symbol, plus my entire background) :)

Ok, quick note to forestall any misconceptions. I received a couple of PMs about changes I made. Here is my philosophy about it. The one particular subject (i.e. Irabeth's relationship) is a particularly divisive subject in the real world. I chose to "vanilla-ize" it because I do not want to involve divisive political/social subjects in a game where I have no idea who the people playing are (in most cases) or to have even the chance for my games to be derailed by heated rhetoric. In addition, I will be altering key elements to a) provide uncertainty to those that have played part of this AP or that have read it, and b) to address the severe weakness in the challenges the encounters present to the party.
Please, do not confuse this choice as some sort of statement on the actual issue.

Hello, everyone! Unfortunately, real life has intervened, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to keep up with another online campaign over the next couple of weeks, so rather than hog a space while falling further and further behind, I'll just withdraw before things get too far along. I thought I'd just let everyone know rather than just disappearing. Have fun!
Sabrina De'Foe |
Ahhh Chaia... I was really hoping to have some good times with you, Sabrina ca relate to you with both of us having been around for so long...
sorry to see you go.

Hello MG welcome to the group.

Ok, excuse the length of this post, but I would usually have spelt this out in the recruitment thread. Because of the way this campaign started I missed doing it and the rush to get playing, it is late coming out.
1) Responses: I am online a lot some days and some days on only once or twice during the day. When I get on I check all of the new posts and then post accordingly. Sometimes that will be individual responses or spoiler tabs, sometimes it will be a general post that addresses an issue or rolls made by several people, and sometimes it will be a PM to keep it secret. Be aware though, that I will be not responding if you fail to notice a change or I will respond with NPC dialogue that will require you to notice the effect. I also have everyone’s Perception and Sense Motive skills written down and, as you can see, I make d20 rolls with no explanation to see if you notice an effect as well. If, however, you feel I missed something you did, bring it up as a reminder (I already missed a couple of posted actions).
2) My dice rolls: I like the story to be as much a surprise as possible. One thing I do is not put modifiers in my d20 rolls so the skill level of an opponent is not as easy to determine. This, I believe, adds to the suspense and uncertainty of an encounter. It also does not make any changes (such as adding the advanced template, etc.) I have made obvious. This is why in combat it is very important for you to put the Status tab in your posts each round so I am aware of the current state of your AC and CMDs.
3) Ability rulings: Certain abilities are slightly modified to meet the thematic concept of the ability. I will let individuals know if this affects them and will be open to any discussion of changing my interpretation, just make sure you have a solid case for the change.
4) Combat modifiers and abilities: Combat Expertise, fighting defensively, and similar actions require you to attack before gaining the benefit. Attacks must be against active opponents (I.e. no “attacking the ground”, etc.). For instance you move up to a creature with reach and attack it, fighting defensively. The bonus to AC comes when you make the attack, so its AoO from reach will go against your regular AC. The AC bonus will then last until the START of your next turn, so plan your actions accordingly.
5) Combat Reflexes and Parry: One of my very few House Rules. All extra AoOs after the first suffer a -2 cumulative penalty. I find the “infinite parry” very abusive. Notice you still have a decided advantage over iterative attacks, as they suffer a -5. This House Rule is up for debate, so let me know if you have a strong disagreement with it. I will consider dropping it, but I really feel it balances things a little better (especially considering the addition of mythic).

1 - Roger that! Feel free to roll mine. Thanks for catching up when we bring something that might had been overlooked.
2 - Got it. I don't have a problem with it at all and I trust my GMs! :)
3 - If it's the first time a certain ability appear, we might need to go with RAW, but I have no problems in using modified abilities.
4 - 100% agreed
5 - I don't have a problem with this house rule.

So that everyone is aware, with the DM's permission, I have rebuilt my character. I will still be fulfilling our skills character, but have also picked up some arcane tallent.
Sabrina De'Foe |
will post later tonight.
busy work time. and cannot post at work.

From Argus: 2 x alchemist fires and 3 x smokesticks
From Avarashnial: 1 x cure light wounds and 2 x cure moderate wounds
The scrolls are as follows:
dispel magic
grease x2
web
I don't know that we ever divided these besides the cure potions. Since I am an arcane caster now, I can use the scrolls. The alchemist fires and smoke sticks are still up for grabs.

I seem to have regained posting access from work, but this weekend I will be at the Renaissance Faire
I may be able to post some but not much
Davin Shadowcloak |
The jump is only DC 10 for that distance.
I think we're getting hung up on nothing.
Sabrina De'Foe |
I will have to switch Alias' for this game.
the alias for this game is also my PFS character. and I will be in the PbP gameday IV with Sabrina. so I need to create a new alias for Sabrina and transfer all the profile stuff to that alias.
Sabrina De'Foe |
Quick note to say where I have been...
spent the last two days moving my son to NYC in his new Dorm at college. been long hectic couple of days.
tomorrow I may need some rest I hope to get caught up more late tomorrow.
I am sorry about being silent.
Sabrina De'Foe |
I seem to remember finding some statues or something that tells of crusaders retreating below the surface or something like that. but I can't seem to find the post.

Tomorrow, I fly out to San Antonio for the next eleven days or so, and then on to Vegas for a week, which will cumulate in attending this year's huge Vampire the Masquerade/White-Wolf national gaming convention.
I should be able to post, as I will have my laptop, and will be staying with friends in SA who should have wi-fi, but just in case I can not, you guys know why.
Davin Shadowcloak |
I am going out of town for the weekend, and I will be unable to post until Monday morning.
Sabrina De'Foe |
well, I thought this was about to die to be honest. glad to see its still around

So I have gone through all the loot up until this point. I made a spreadsheet of what we've found thus far.
Please check it out and let me know anything you want, want to keep, want to sell. After that we'll sell and split gold in whatever way everyone sees fit. The two common ways I've seen are everyone takes an even split of the gold from selling items, or everyone takes a split of the gold (percentile based off of what they've claimed).
The spreadsheet is set to calculate a split based off of gold because that is what the person I took it from uses. I am happy with either choice.
How are we doing HP, is it roll, max, half+1?

@Davin: The link seems broken to me - maybe we could upload it to GoogleDocs?
On our live table, for everything party loot (except consumables, arrows, artifacts, etc.) we basically "sell" the items to the interested party members by the same price we'd sell in town (so people "buy" them for half-price, basically, and this gold is split towards the other players).
@JasonX: as we talked before, I'll prepare the "new Allyo" and send for your approval via PM.
