Happy thanksgiving guys! :)
I finished my NaNo novel last night (woohooo!!!) so I should be back to posting in the game thread by no later than Monday. Looking forward to being back actually. :)
Happy Thanksgiving everybody!
^_^
I look forward to resurrecting this game.
Yay. Thanksgiving.
I missed it, really. Worked 2nd shift.
On the subject of immunity and the curse-
I Probobly shouldn't comment, because I'd just end up arguing for whatever side was least popular.
+50% of what? That is the key.
100% of 0 is zero, so if it is 50% of damage received, and damage received is otherwise 0, then it remains zero. If the action resulting in damage has output increased by 50%, the the damage is increased by 50%, which would still be neutralized by immunity.
If the protection that provides immunity is reduced by 50% then that is less clear. Would depend on fluff really and the difference between being normally completely unaffected and having resistance equaling 100% and being merely "effectively immune."
Oh, and happy posthumous Turkey Day / Shopping Frenzy Weekend all ;)

Posthumous? Are you sure you don't mean belated?
not if you are addressing the Turkey
LFII, just shut up and laugh already. :)
I'll laugh for him, lol.
:)
Bah, I am finding my zypher magic doesn't translate well to PF. Irritating. Not to mention basing flight maneuverability on flight speed.
But on the other hand, I just invented a curious creature to annoy my players in my other game. A snipe, believed to not exist, snipes are invisible, intelligent, natural teleporters, and prone to mischief. However, befriending one is usually a good thing as they are as loyal and loving as dogs, though they will still make off with your keys for a laugh.
I think I may just make such a creature, lynora willing. Hopefully before the christmas rush. The last few weeks have been insane, but I should at least get a breather before christmas, I hope.
Anyone think it would be fine to glaze over waiting on whoever the secretary is, and move on? or should I keep waiting, at least until the next general time skip?
Tiny me?
I found some of my old notes, including a creature someone may desire to use as an antagonist.
I call them quams. They are intelligent. They have an amorphous form and can change their general shape, from a 1/2 thick sheet to a round ball, or even roughly humonoid or animal shapes. Unlike oozes, these creatures have a thick skin with muscles underneath but no skeleton (similar to octopi, a skin with muscles and organs, but squeezable and shapeable.) They consume small creatures, fruit, and other things, by enveloping them and digesting them like that, then they unwrap leaving behind the undigestable parts. They can subsist on many things, but their primary diet is meat and fruits, they avoid nuts or other hard things that take a long time to digest.
They are smart and magical, they sense primarily through scent, tremorsense, and a magical sense that can detect nearby magic and souls.
They have remarkable regenerative qualities, which means that their warrior culture doesn't have a problem inflicting injuries, which can be problematic when dealing with other races, particularly given that strangers often introduce themselves through a duel to compare combat skill.
They have a high resistance to acid, but a slight suseptability to electrocution from their distributed brain neurons (which means they learn slowly, but don't forget what they have learned except by brain damage).

Figured someone might find them an interesting encounter.
I'm sure you can tell by now that my creature designs often fall outside the box.
Those don't seem like strange creatures to me.....but to be fair, my GM has an unholy love of aberrations. We kill anything tentacled or gelatinous with extreme prejudice and no attempts to negotiate first. And someone always has aberrations as a favored enemy. Because this is how you survive past fifth level. ;P
Alright. Time to get back into it then. :)
Before I do so, I want to move Lang's ceremony forward. which will rush end some scenes that are currently not moving at all.
before I do so does anyone involved okay with this?
You have GM approval to move forward with this at your earliest convenience, so if anybody complains, it's my fault. :)
Okay, I think I hit all the major plots and one minor one. That will have to do for tonight. :)
Thanks for the approval Lyn.
I hope to get a post up tomorrow. taking a bit to get back into the swing of things with this game.
Sorry I took so long. This was my last week of regular classes and I had loads and loads of stuff to do. I just have finals this coming week and then I'm free!
Will post later tonight. Have to go to grocery store. (Bleh. Least favorite task of the week.) Family seems to think that food is important. ;P
Just wanted to let you know that I hadn't forgotten y'all. I've just been out of it this weekend. Had to go under general anesthesia for a long dental procedure on friday and spent the whole weekend being totally fuzzy headed as that stuff takes a long time to wear off apparently. :)
Is the group of aliens idea kaput?
I know that Ghalen and Repp have something to do with the arrival, But I have not seen anything from Repp, monkeygod, or anyone else who thought to participate.
Nope, still going, I've just been very busy with a high level gestalt epic game I am co-running in both real life and here on the boards, plus lots of conventions(7 in 6 months!) and other assorted things. Tis part of why I haven't really posted here period.
Pretty sure my character will be approved, but I need to be positive of my class choices first before I put him forth for Da Mighty Stamp of Lyn's Love! :) lol. Definitely going Marksman, not sure if I want to pair that with Zen Archer Monk, Ranger or something else. And I might want a template too, for mutative, experimentation.
lol .. and then there is me. race and templates well defined, but no class levels...
I have an idea to present for that, but I got tied up trying get into a few games.
Not too late. We are just now debarking the shuttle.

You know this game ;)
You appear to have plenty of time...and then you don't.
EDIT: That wasn't an Ephebe pun...but, it kinda is :P

lol. Yeah.....
If you want to get a character in for that, please send me your concept ASAP if you haven't already. Stats can be worked out later, but the scene is moving forward soon.
And I mean it this time!
Sigh. It's been a rough week. Unexpected side effects suck.
What's life's newest crisis, Lyn?
What's life's newest crisis, Lyn?
Same old, same old, I'm afraid. Trying to get back to some form of equilibrium both mentally and physically as the recent dental work and the medicines that were given to me during have triggered problems with my insomia/depression and my menniere's. Right now managing to get out of bed, get dressed, and prepare some form of food during the day is a victory. Unfortunately those aren't the only things I have to do in any given day and getting through the rest leaves me feeling exhausted.
Meh. This too shall pass. In the meantime I feel like the stupid kitten in the stupid poster and I'm getting pretty damn tired of hanging in there. :/

Here you go melody, your armor's stats. (+ whatever the effects of your and the teacher's modifications provide)
+7 armor bonus to AC, Str treated as 20 and dex as 16 or +4 str, +2 dex whichever is higher
carrying capacity is then further increased as per the ant haul spell
Flight repulsors – The character's mastery of repulsor technology has increased to allow for actual flight, but does require him to have both of his hands free to fly correctly. The character gains a flight speed of 60ft with average maneuverability. These can be activated as a swift action. This can be improved by a character with the power matrix modification, increasing flight speed by 20ft per point of battery power spent for one minute but risking system failure with increased speed
Power Matrix – (Prerequisites: Recharge Matrix) While not of much direct use itself, the power matrix is used to augment other abilities but with the risk of system failure, as the power matrix is an overriding system that surpasses system safety and limitations to do the extraordinary. At a base, when the power matrix is engaged to augment an ability, there is a base 5% chance that the armor shorts out and goes dead for 1d6 rounds while the system needs to replenish its power, and this chance increases by 5% per power point spent to augment the modification in question.
Perception Matrix – With this enhancement, the Iron Man has crafted his helmet in such a way as to provide enhancement to his senses with artificial means and tools. The character gains a bonus on Perception checks equal to half of his initiator level (minimum of 1). .(for melody this is a +5 perception)
Extreme Environments – The armor has been modified to thrive in an extreme natural environment of the Iron Man's choosing, and once selected the modification cannot be changed. Environments include extreme cold, extreme heat, undersea, or even vacuum. If taken as a greater armor modification, this can even insulate the character against excessively hostile environments found in the Outer Planes, such as the Negative Energy plane or layers of the Abyss. Count it as the character having the endure elements spell in effect and resistance of 20 to damage of a type that is relevant to the environment if applicable (such as cold in tundra armor, but vacuum having no real type would get cold due to the extreme cold of space).
Recharge Matrix – This modification installs a series of channels into the armor that help direct certain types of energies to funnel directly into the character's main battery reactor. Spells or supernatural effects (or even naturally occurring lightning) that would inflict electrical damage to the character may instead charge the character's battery pool. The character must make a Fortitude save before receiving damage against the level of the effect (natural lightning is a 4th level effect) that is inflicting electrical damage, and if successful, negates the damage and instead regains 1 point of battery per level of the effect. This requires the use of an immediate action.
Defensive Matrix – This armor modification allows the armor some passive autonomous say in how to defend its wearer best, aiding him in avoiding attacks. The character gains a +1 dodge bonus to AC and a +1 insight bonus to Reflex saves per five initiator levels (+3 totak for melody). If the character must make a Reflex save against a spell or effect for half damage (such as with spells like fireball or lightning bolt, or a breath weapons) and has the power matrix modification, the character can elect to spend a point of battery power to grant himself the evasion class feature for the attempt (must be spent before making the save) as an immediate action.
Force Shields – By spending a point of battery power as a swift action, the Iron Man generates a passive field of force-based energy to protect himself from harm. This shield can even protect him from touch attacks made by incorporeal creatures. The character gains a shield bonus to AC equal to 1 + 1 per four initiator levels (for melody this is a +4 shield bonus) the character possesses, and this shield stays passively in place for one hour.
Tractor Beam – By adjusting his repulsors to have magnetic components, the character may manipulate objects made of at least 50% or more metallic components or targets wearing metal medium or heavier armor as if he was using the spell telekinesis, using his initiator level as his caster level to determine the effect. This ability costs one battery power point per use.
Agh! Husband had three root canals yesterday and has kept me hopping trying to keep him from doing stupid stuff that would cause him and/or others injury....when he's loopy from medication, I swear it makes him think he's invulnerable. Sigh.
Anyways, sorry for the mixup with the missed post, Dalesman. And you guys can feel free to improvise the APE course if you want. Basically it's a super evil obstacle course. :)
Hey has anyone heard from FCD?? Been awhile since his last post.

Spent my night teaching an online friend how to play Pathfinder while also playing other rpg stuff.
He too down three goblins, scared a bunch of marsh deer when he missed them with his arrows, took down a marshclaw(fresh water reefclaw) with three arrows(five if we count the two times he miss), and over all had a great time. He mentioned he was going to ask his college gaming club if anyone played pathfinder there. I had a lot of fun DMing the mini adventure too.
All in all, this was a great night! (^-^)
Sounds Awesome!
Hey has anyone heard from FCD?? Been awhile since his last post.
Sent a couple of emails, but no reply yet. But December can be a very busy month so I wouldn't worry just yet.
Well, finally got a follow up with the dentist yesterday and got the problem that was keeping me from closing my mouth all the way fixed. Amazing how much pain can be caused by one little burr on one filling.
And all this because I clench my teeth so hard when I sleep that I literally cracked four molars, and bacteria got in the cracks and caused cavities. :(
Anyhow, waiting on Dalesman's reply before moving that scene along.
Dami, any more angel/demon shenanigans or is the chosen one safe as houses now?
Let's see...Ed is in charge of Lang's scene so I don't have to do anything about that.
The Balance rezz scene is basically all cinematic. Increasingly difficult combats as things go. Anyone involved can feel free to go nuts. You've nearly run out of Ephebes to fight and now have to deal with a blue dragon whose name escapes me at the moment for some reason. Magic, you have a character in this too, so feel free to insert some cinematic coolness. I'm basically running this out until after Mel closes the rift because th rift is all that's been preventing the Ephebes from taking hostages from Avalon. (Don't say Kronos never gave you anything.)
The new arrivals scene is stalled a bit at the moment, but those bringing in new characters can feel free to post with that. If FCD is too busy to post. We can just assume that Repp is quietly observing for now.
Was there anything else? I have the nagging feeling I'm forgetting something....
The murder investigation? Ace stalled out as he was waiting on a reply from Ty.
Okay, thanks. Knew I was forgetting at least one thing. That's also waiting on FCD. As is the possible trap setup by Keme and his new halfling friend. Although, barring a flash of inspiration I don't know that the investigation is going anywhere before Ginni wakes up. But I've been surprised before. :)
Speaking of that trap, if Ace can somehow be involved, he has all sorts of schemes up his sleeve for that.

Ouch. :(
And on working on that reply now (^-^)
well barring any disasters I plan on advancing the ceremony scene on Thursday / Friday timeframe.
I believe that only a few players in that are still around right now.
so much of what I had planned may not happen right now.
Sorry

Nothing planned further-- at this time, but, have been silently waiting to see what PCs do. It's based on PC's choices at this stage. Along with any other 'plots' I've been a party to up to this point.
Your PC would realize at this point the 'tattoo' his Angelic guardian provided him and the Chosen One, are gone since that fight in the Mech Bay.
Toodles.
