20s and 1s only matter for to hit and saves. All others are based off the actual result (so some things are impossible and others automatic).
Aleziella is using a rapier most of the time. She'll eventually switch to short swords since she isn't actually crit-fishing (I changed my mind about dipping swashbuckler) in order to pick up piranha strike. Though she is so low on feats she might not actually get that... I guess I could use the third level feat for twf instead of alignment smite and pick up improved twf at level 6 with the free warlord feat... Anyone got any guesses as to how useful alignment smite will be for this game? With quick channel she could dish out 3/4*level*d6 twice per round to every evil outsider within 30 feet. Adding a fourth attack at level 6 would also increase damage a lot though. Though I su all this is still far away.
The channeling didn't do anything for either of them?
Sure did, but it did nothing for the major injuries. As I posted, a heal check will reveal more information about the leg. Xantrius already knows the situation with the old man's eyes.
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.
I was going to say that there are probably more people going to be upset by the modification than otherwise as some might feel it's discrimination to exclude it. I don't actually care either way, but then again I've never been the subject of such discrimination anyway. I am always careful to try to avoid discriminating against minority groups though. I know for a fact that a lot of people use roleplaying games to get away from the harsh reality of who they are or real life discrimination.
As for buffing challenges. Altering things so they are not recognizable by someone who have played this before. Customizing items and challenges so they fit the actual parties in the game, I am all for it. I wouldn't want to face challenges meant for 4 or 5 man paries with a 6 man party, it'll be less fun and we'll probably level more slowly and recive less loot. I do hope you are doing some differentiation between the various groups though as they have quite different composition, optimization levels and even number of people.
Looking forward to a great game though. It sounds like you have things well planned out. Let's just focus on the game and have fun.
full discloser I don't know anything about this AP ^_^ only whats is in the players guide, so im a bit sad that the dragon is dead...my character wanted to work under it so I could raise myself in Asups eyes...oh well lol
I'm playing in a group of this right now, but we haven't even made it to the surface yet.
I actually consider skipping over controversial issues for gameflow benefit the opposite of discrimination. That is my main reason, both sides are fairly adamant about their position and having the issue in the game can not avoid validating one side or the other in some way. I personally do not wish to be in that position, it is a no win scenario.
I would think most gamers who play pathfinder by now are aware that they do not shy away from lgbt couples and issues. Then again, people don't read the sign in front of their faces at stores so... shrugs
Please don't tell us such things Korak.... I didn't even know there was a surface or that it was far away until you said so... This is also my first time playing it.
If you are going to allow everyone to roll anyway, why not just roll for us (preferably in secret), that way we won't even know something is going on unless we succed. Now we know something is off even if we fail. It also saves a bunch of time as you don't have to wait for everone to roll before posting results.
I just noticed I messed up the skill part of my profile. Sorry. I'll fix it asap...

The dragon feather lighted us as we fell into a hole, this is not a spoiler.
EDIT: Also, I never said it was far away, just that we hadn't reached it yet, this campaign is only a session in, and not a particularly long session either
Fine then :p.
Anyway, how long has the festival lasted? I imagine Alexiella arrived at the start of it. Honestly she pretty much need the backpack in order to carry her fear anyway, so I see no reason for her to leave it behind.
Also wow, crossposted half a dozen times over :O.
I must say I really enjoy how active everyone in this game are. In the end what matters the most for a game to succeed or not is the players, not what they do, their builds or anything like that.

I have fixed Xantrius' equipment list, he just left his tent, bedroll, and cooking gear behind at his campsite.
I have started playing this three times before with this character. The first time we did not quite make it to the surface, the second time we only made it past the second encounter, and the third died after the first encounter! I really like this game and it looks like we have an interesting and entertaining group so I hope fourth time is the charm!
Given how active everyone is I think we have a pretty good shot at at least making some fairly serious progress.
Okay, so I've just been ignored by the grumbly nobleman and I guess I failed the sense motive check.
Did my heal-check fail? You can't expect me to roll much better than 18 :p.
Korak, wait for the spoilers. I was doing separate things.
@Aleziella, yes, you are right, I usually do the rolls like that, I just got caught up in the pace of things :) And missed the heal check, I assume it was for the guy with the crushed leg?

Indeed, that's why I posted she bent down to check on him.
Aleziella, it is apparent to you that he will need a splint and a crutch to even get around. You also think that if he is fully healed (like the old man, he has substantial hp damage), he will be able to get around without pain or any aid, but unless he receives a regeneration or similar magic, he will be reduced to half speed because of the extensive bone damage.
Your statement seems a bit contradictory. Is it: He can get to walk in two ways, either with a crutch and splint or heal HP damage. Or is it: He needs both a splint crutch and healing to move around. Either way he can only move half rate until he gets regeneration right? I am guessing it's the first one?
He's saying he's crippled and without high level magic will need a crutch to get around.
We got oodles of healing though. I understand it so that he'll be able to walk if we just heal him enough. Is that not the case? I don't think I've ever seen so much healing in a single group before. An indication of how far it is to go would be nice I suppose. My character is not leaving anyone behind if she can help it. She is good :).
If he is fully healed of hp damage, he can get around on his own without the splint and crutch. Without full hp he needs a splint and crutch to move at all and he will be in great pain. In either case, he is at half speed until he receives much higher magical healing or very long term recuperation and surgery.
Never mind, I was wrong.
Anything for my sense motive? I understand no if it was because I was posting up a guard like position.
well im planing on going DD so ill become Asups new favored lol
How wounded is the other guy? The one with the eyes. If it's just the guy with the leg wounded now channeling is a bit overkill...
am i wrong but channeling heals in an area dose it not? so should more people be healed up
Point of fact, healing them up is all well and good, but if we die, they die, maybe hold some of that back a little.
Yes channeling heal in an area so everyone within 30' should be healed. That's why I am wondering if there are more people who are benefiting from it.
@Korak: As a neutral character I would definatly play that way. Not with Aleziella though, she is good. And uh, we still have 5+4+4+3+2+2 heals left...
Wait, seriously? I hadn't done the math we have THAT MUCH? Objection withdrawn, I have a paper cut can I get one of those.
lol
Aravashnial is at about a third of his hp, Argus is just down a few, but needs to be at full for him to be able to use his leg at all.

That's after the last 9 hp right?
I have you as channeling for 8 and then CLW on Argus (not Aravashnial) for 9.
I'm guessing you missed my continuation of my conversation with whatshisname
Woohoo! 23, I think I just turned the nobleman into my pack mule!
Lots of posts! 0.0
@Tanya: Since you can customize feat and arctype for your familiar and it's hp, skills and stats changes over time it would be a lot easier if you at least kept a simplyfied statblock on your sheet. That way it wouldn't have to be calculated every time. Did you pick any archtypes for it?
Archtypes for familiars now? Wow, Paizo is putting out a lot of stuff recently. I need to start looking at supplements just so I know what everyone is talking about.
I'll be putting Pip's stats in therz at some point, but rarely get the chance to post with a real computer, and since I was rather expecting the normal "use standard familiar stats" I was waiting for Tuesday so I could c&p it over.
If there are a bunch of options now, I'll need to do some research.
Alright Jason, since I didn't get a chance to talk to you about it, do you mind if I start with my home brews ready?
nope, go right ahead Korak, they can be ready.
Alright, they can come in three different categories that affect their their potency, perfect, good and poor, any preferences?
I have to read the entry, I'll get back to you on that in the morning.
Bajik still didn't introduce himself right? Same for Korak right? Anyone else?
Also don't you roll for what type it is? Sounds really bothersome that the GM has to decide it every time.
I'm doing this as it's starting, if he'd prefer I'll make the appropriate rolls instead.
Yes, Bakji didn't introduce himself. He's not very good with words and he felt that you all were busy taking care of all the others so he felt that he would do what he could to help as words weren't gonna help at present.
As I said, different cultures :).
bro-do you even sleep..
i have to say this is the most active group of posters i have played with since i got on the boards, suck that my wayfinder app is not working so i cant post as much as id like...
I'm not familiar with Wayfinder, would uninstalling it and reinstalling it not help? And in my case, I've been up 17 hours! So yes, i shall sleep soon.
Edits within crossposts at this rapid pace of posting is really dangerous.
