This week has been busy for me. Real life game I play in on Sun, RL game I run on Mon, date on Tues which lead to the girl coming home and spending the night hanging out well into Wed, when I brought her back to her town. Thurs was down time, and today was Friday Night Magic, then two of my friends came back to my place for even more Magic.
Oh, and I started physical therapy for my injured foot/toes three days this week, hence needing the down time on Thurs.
I am behind on all my games sadly.
Huh, must not have hit send, sorry about that
Given that the roll here failed, to be fair I'm going to expend my 1/day re roll,
However
For damaging me, please make a will save DC 37 (same as breath weapon) or gain vulnerability to cold for 2 miniutes (20 rounds)
Also take 6 points of cold damage (applied before vulnerability) no save
Finally saw the LEGO movie last night. It lived up to what everyone said.
Then we made Cinnabon Waffles this morning. Also lived up to it.
Character check-
Archena is lazing.
Hermes... is it my turn now? I'll check.
Kevin can respond after I check that.
Lewis is asleep.
Lim-Môr, I guess I can carry that one on.
Sara I can respond for.
Shiro is in his office and open if a PC needs him.
Tybalt is awaiting Melody awaiting Fieri, so that one's OK.
Adon,
1 you could have been a test of concept
2 you could cast at age 4, Dave casteed at around age 12 (he had some secondary magical power but no actual spell casting yet) and he's already a powerful caster
If you were able to cast that early, by now you could have been a teacher if you weren't I hindered
The date I had on Tues included seeing The Lego Movie, it was indeed spectacular. One of the things I really liked was seeing the 'special effects' done via lego pieces.
For example, any time there was an explosion, the fire was created via the flame pieces.

That doesn't make any sense. So if a mage snipes you with magic missiles from max range does he face the same consequences?
Of the vulnerability, yes, the 6 damage no, that has a range.
Uh... Lucas, you aren't the same house as Archena. she isn't your sister.
I don't think, anyway.
Kryz: it's a linnorm thing to curse those that harm you.
Ok. Doesn't makes sense, but I can accept that. If it was melee damage that would be easier to swallow.
I can't really tell.
Hmm. Just had a thought. I had thought Firebirds were hatched from eggs, and have mentioned that several times. I assume brood sizes are very small given the population decline issues. With that said, would twins be two Firebirds from the same egg? Or would it simply be rare enough to have more than one egg in a brood that broodmates are called twins?

That's a really good question. Given that Fieri's laid eggs, I'd say it's a good bet all firebirds do.
Birds can lay twin eggs. Would be neat if that happened with Firbirds too.
Re: Linnorm thing.
Its from Paizo Fans United via Wayfinder Magazine. Thus, it is entirely possible it lacks true balance.
For an actual Linnorm, sure, I can see that ability making sense. After all, in order to become a Lord in the Lands that bear their name in Golarion, one must slay at least one of them.
However, for a PC? Might be a bit of a stretch to allow that vulnerability curse to have no max range.
Let's look at Fireball(hey, you got immunity to cold, you also generally have vulnerability to fire.)
Its range is 400ft+40ft/level. At 20th level, that is 1,200ft. Enlarge that for the paltry cost of 1 spell level higher(thus, it becomes a 4th level slot) and you're looking at 2,400ft.
That's about a half mile away, and suddenly, I'm cursed? Yea, not sure I buy that.
Of course, in this particular instance, its fine, my NPC is far closer, but since its come up, I would say a distance cap should be put into place.
MG-
This is Avalon.
"True balance" is relative.
And if you can cause an explosion half a mile away...
I'm sorry, but, in the past, when powers and even full characters have been pointed at as overpowered or outshining others or completely making other characters useless/pointless/etc, I think some stuff should be balanced, even for Avalon.
Keeps us from repeating the past, you know?
I don't see how the curse that lasts for 2 minutes is overpowered.
Yes, there are some things that are overpowered here. I'm not going to go into who, or what.
Heck, i feel a lot of my characters are overshadowed entirely.
I just don't see this as breaking anything.
Dave /is/ kind of our resident curse expert, so let's not make this too big of a thing. :)
Let's try and keep Lyn's no nitpicking rule, K guys. :)
Perhaps then David needs to re-read his own abilities, because I was basing this off of him saying it was permanent.
Though, in an actual battle, if three people damage him, and fail an incredibly high Will save, they gain vulnerability still seems a bit much.
MG, he never said that it was permanent.
His save dc is so high because of a string of feats he took and his cloak.
K. That's resolved now. Can we stop now before Lyn has a long string of stuff to read when she gets back, please? :)

I actually thought it /was/ just really good stop motion, until I read the IMBD...

Actually, I don't think his cloak should effect the DC. THE DC isn't an effect of the bloodline arcana, just what you need to beat to resist the effect. Food for thought.
EDIT: nevermind, unless there's something super special about it, the robe doesn't effect bloodline arcana at all.
EFIT 2: I'm completely willing to believe there is though. :)
By the way, DB3 and FCD, you have a PM from me a couple days ago and I wanted to make sure the inter webs haven't eated them. ;)
I got DC 33 for this effect, which is 10(base)+1/2 his sorc level(8)+Cha Mod(10)+5(special thing Lyn gave him)=33
I see only one feat, Draconic Heritage, which adds +5 to the DC, which was a bonus Lyn gave him.
Not arguing the Ace point again. Some people agree, others disagree.
Even if the Robes affect your bloodline arcana, which, after reading it, I am in agreement with DB3 in that normally they do not, its still DC 35, not 37.
But, according to your CS, your Robes do nothing special in regards to Bloodline abilities, affecting them just like a normal set of the Robes. So, they would not add +2 to your DC, bringing us back to the DC 33.
Now, I am just going off what you wrote, which is
"he has a robe of arcane heritage customized with continuous Stability, Guidance resistance and Virtue as the 0th lvl spells (with slight change to Stability effect, providing bleed resistance 2) and Alter self at will (not continuous) and a +2 luck on saves bonus the robe does more than strengthen his sorcerous power (RP not Mechanic), it also focuses it, making it easier for him to control it, it is also his most prized possession aside from his ship."
So, normal Robes of Arcane Heritage, with a customized Stability, Guidance, Resistance, and Virtue as continuous effects, Alter Self at Will, and +2 luck bonus to saves.
Yes?
Re: curse and range. I'm sorry but "A curse on all those who harm me" sounds much cooler than "A curse on all those who harm me, but oh right only of they're within some arbitrary distance".
Which one sounds cooler? ;)
Just for the the record, I asked a question, and got a satisfactory answer.
I did not intend to spark this discussion.
If I bomb David from orbit, do I still get cursed?
Yep.
If I bomb David from orbit, do I still get cursed?
Yes. If you are on another plane and cast Wish and wish for David to take damage, you will have to save. Same as if you had done that to slay a linnorm.
Such is the retributive nature of the Linnorm's curse.
That's a really good question. Given that Fieri's laid eggs, I'd say it's a good bet all firebirds do.
Birds can lay twin eggs. Would be neat if that happened with Firbirds too.
Yes, firebirds lay eggs. Lucas and Lily are twins. Hatched from the same egg. It's incredibly rare and you know how they've been so open to things that are different....yeah....so the Svarogs have been hiding the fact that Lucas and Lily are twins for a long time.
Firebird pregnancies are generally five months long, at which time they give birth to the egg (and owwww.....as has already been discussed, Fi had an especially hard time with this as there were four eggs of abnormally large size. There's magic involved, that's how it was possible.) The egg then needs to be kept warm (very, very warm....usually kept on a bed of coals) for another five months before it hatches. Hopefully this answers all need to know questions about firebird procreation.
I'm writing a paper that's due tomorrow, so I probably won't get to post much until then. I have some other stuff to talk about with y'all, but it will have to wait a day.
And now I must get back to work as I spent the morning and early afternoon at kidlet's karate tournament and want to be able to go see Divergent tonight. :)
Why do I have a bad feeling about this...
I hope Lyn isn't leaving us...

As Red Mage would say: Dun Dun DUN!!!!
Lyn said Y'all. ^_^
Once returned to the school grounds, Tryko'Sam stretches and looks around as people start walking off, nods and teleporting.
Seeing people just returning to the building, while looking back from the sight of the winged demon, he turns to consider his options of those remaining.
"Celebratory tavern crawl after a life saving mission anyone? Get to know one another more?"
He smiles briefly while waiting on any takers.
Just to give a tally for this, I believe the ones remaining are Vickory, Yrrin, MG's Mysterious Stranger (assuming he has come along and even possibility introduced himself at some point maybe?), and Sadie.

** spoiler omitted **
Once again, I pity Fieri. I would've suggest a C-section, but I know of your experiences with those, so not gonna happen. ;)
But yes that pretty much solved everything for me.
Why do I have a bad feeling about this...
I hope Lyn isn't leaving us...
Pfft. Yeah, right. I'm still breathing, hon. ;D
I just want to talk about some group dynamic stuff and a couple small things that will help the game run better. But I don't have time for a lengthy discussion today.

Pfft. Like even death would stop you from running this. Lyn dying will obviously result in the first case of spontaneous Lichdom.
Speaking of Liches, I thought of an insanely evil, incredibly cruel(for the PCs) way for an epic Lich to totally F*&K with PCs. Like HARDCORE.
Don't we have at least two PCs who seek to defeat a Lich? bhahahahahaha
