Is there a benefit for the never being flat footed when I already have uncanny dodge?

Extra damage is always nice, and its not fire damage, as a bonus.

...Probably not. XD

(Incidentally, you can probably change your Flat-Footed AC in your stat bar to "No". Leave the numbers up in your alias, though - on very rare occasions, there might be something like mythic creatures who ignore dodge effects, so the numbers should be there just in case.)

I like it. I'm rethinking Armor Master again. with the luck bonus it would jump my AC up from 22 to 27. I will have pro evil and the grace ability so this would be a big jump. So let me look at things again. Any chance of making the deflection a dodge bonus. The deflection will be wasted only being a +2

Well, I didn't see you had any other Deflection bonuses, and I actually didn't want it to push things too high.

(If your numbers go too far past what's expected, it's actually kind of troublesome for you - because either I change nothing and you stomp over everything, bored because nothing's a challenge, or I arbitrarily make things tougher and you get no value from having raised something in the first place. Keeping numbers in a moderate range genuinely makes things more fun for everyone.)

I agree that's what I'm trying to do by not taking Armor Master yet. I like the outline of the sword. If you want to go with it lets do it.

So did our itmes become +1 Just for becoming a Legendary Item?

No, they do not automatically acquire enhancement bonuses - although getting said bonuses is pretty easy anyway if you have the cash and a couple of hours, given that you took the Upgradable ability. XD

Yeah if we decide to rest here I will most likely enchant to a +1. Will try and finish leveling sheet today. Been putting in floors all weekend and the wife still has a list for today :( , but she is happy so :)

It's my Birthday, so you two get 4 bonus skill points. Be sure to note when you got them and what you put them into so you don't accidentally delete them later. ^^

I have yet to use your birthday present from last year you hobbit you. Giving out gifts on your birthday. Have a happy one. :)

Hey guys. I leave next Thursday for vacation. SCA event. Gulf Wars will be going from the 10th-20th posting again on the 21st. I will be letting all my games know in the next few days. My wife will have her phone so I may be able to check in at night but will need to be botted for any combat. Just giving a heads up.

Since Hadran won't be here... it's probably best to just take a brief hiatus, I think. XD If you'd like, Beseth, we can use this time to talk about your character and perhaps work on things you'd like to do in the future. (Anything you want to craft? Abilities you'd like to get, but aren't sure how? And so on.)

There's a couple of abilities that I feel Beseth could benefit from, and I know that they can be accomplished with a handful of feats.

Firstly, I need access to maneuvers, and more importantly stances. This likely means either multiclassing or taking several feats.

Secondly, Beseth needs to decrease her start up time in combat, namely with the ability to cast spells faster. Ultimately this likely means quicken spell, which is not likely to be my only metamagic since I took magical lineage for shield other.

Thirdly, if Beseth obtains a handful of metamagics, the arcane bloodline would be very helpful since she is a spontaneous caster. This means, you guessed it, more feats.

Let's see... feats are probably the easiest way to get access to maneuvers, although it really depends on how long many levels you want to have in Fighter (which, given this game's leveling mandate, is the only one you could multiclass over to an Initiator class). And hey, Fighter does offer a lot of bonus feats, so there's that. XD

Quicken Spell is a much higher-level ability, so it's gonna be awhile before you can use that with any regularity.

For the last... Eldritch Heritage, probably? It's either that or swapping a few levels of Oracle for Sorcerer. XD

I already intend to go from fighter to the ulfen guard prestige class, though if there was some archetype or prestige class (though a rage/maneuver PRC might be against the gestalt rules) that got both rage and maneuvers, that may be worth taking.

As for quicken, it is a +4 metamagic, I could probably get by with a lesser rod, or something that worked as a lesser rod though.

Luckily since this is a mythic game, I'd have access to Eldritch heritage (mythic) so the bloodline would basically be two feats (unless I'm horribly misunderstanding the mythic version).

Now, there is the Myrmidon Archetype in POW:E which is a fighter archetype which is compatible with the viking archetype. However, POW:E is currently in playtesting and the archetype may change. The Myrmidon Archtype mainly replaces feats, those gotten at 2nd, 6th, 10th, 14th, and 18th from what I can tell.

I think my second level feat was two shield fighting, and honestly with the Myrmidon archetype I might want to not use a second shield. Now, the major downside of Myrmidon for Beseth would be that it is a Wisdom based initiator, and she has 10 wisdom.

Path of War: Expanded is not permitted specifically because it's in playtesting right now. XD It'll be legal after the full release.

I just wish I had some sort of indication how soon that would be, as it's been "soon" for awhile now.

According to this post, it could be any day now.

Path of War: Expanded is released now, yay!
Unless I'm missing something, Myrmidon is still compatable with Viking, and replaces the bonus feats gained at 2nd, 6th, 10th, 14th, and 18th levels. Same as when it was in playtest.

8D

*Waits for it to be uploaded to d20pfsrd so he can actually reference it*

8D...

I'm sure it'll be on d20pfsrd soon, but I'm going to go ahead and gift you the pdf.

Don't worry about that. XD Quoting the parts you want to use in a PM will be fine - I trust you to not mess with the text.

Well, I already gifted it to you, so you might as well use it.

In that case, thank you. XD

NP, there's a lot in the book that Beseth can use and it seemed like a lot of work to PM you it.

Obviously there's the Myrmidon archetype, but also the Piercing Thunder discipline, as well as a couple of the supporting feats.

The first level Piercing Thunder Stance will be better then dual shields for Beseth, as it allows her to use her longspear with the heavy shield and adds +1d6 damage to both, so that is likely the way her fighting will progress rather then staying double shield. Shield/Longspear seems more like a shield maiden/Valkyrie anyway.

That it is. XD I'll take a closer look at it later today - I'm a bit busy right this moment, but I definitely want to get to it.

No hurry, still a few days before Hadran is back anyway.

I'm back. Shield and longspear... Nice :)

Classic image - and one should never underestimate the value of longer weapons. XD

One of the best cinematic fights of all time in my opinion with shield and spear

It's not just a classic image, it's effective.

Just wanted to update you guys, it's been a hectic couple of weeks. My daughter has been sick, and her aunt was in the hospital recently due to seizures. I've had to keep eyes on both.

We lost Beseth again?

Just been busy, I'll try to get in a post today. Also, my daughter goes back to school next week so it should be easier to pay soon.

My parents are visiting till next friday. I will be posting less, but will still try and check in once a day.

I’m afraid I have some disappointing news for all of you. I have come to the decision to drop all of my pbp games. It’s not that I do not enjoy these games, or that I have a problem with any one in particular (after all I am posting this message in each of the pbp games that I am in) but I feel that I need to have more time to spend on other projects. I have enjoyed the time that I have spent with all of you, and hope that I am not putting anyone at too much of an inconvenience, but this is the decision that I have arrived at. I apologize for my spurts of inactivity, and hope that you all enjoyed the time I spent in these groups – even if they may have been brief.

Best of luck to all of you, and may the dice gods have mercy on us all.

I understand.

...So, uh, Hadran. Do we want to try for... what is it, partner #4, now? Or just make this a solo game?

Is it me? :( I'm fine either way. We can go on business as usual just me and you and try and bring another in. That is up to you. Your the one that truly has to weed through them. Though I will give my opinion :)

It's definitely not you. XD You can't really predict who'll be able to stay and who can keep going. As a matter of fact, of all the original players, you're actually the only one left - which is oddly appropriate, given that you were the very first character I picked. (The other genuinely active game is one where I'm trading with another GM, so we each have a version where we're playing, and another where we're the GM.)

Having more than one player WILL have an impact, though, and that's why I want to know your preference. In a team game, you have better action economy and someone to work with. In a solo game, it's basically just you... but the game will go basically as fast as you can post. (Or, well, I try to update in the evenings... but that mostly just means you'll almost never have to wait more than a day or so between posts.)

Oh it's like highlander, there can be only one. So do I get all there power now ;) I am happy to continue as long as you are. Got to have something to do at work all day :)

Honestly I like both, but I don't like being dragged down by someone not posting as much. So a solo game is very appealing, but it is often nice to have someone to bounce ideas off of.

How about we ask someone. If they decline lets keep it solo for now. I was thing Aleksson, or GM Arcadius Blue He seems to post daily. He is running a Norse game I'm in and plays in Jade Regent. Seems to have a good grasp of things. We could see if he is up to making a guy for this that fits. What do you think?

If you'd like to ask him, go ahead. ^^

PM sent

Yeah Governor is closing offices at Noon under state of emergency. We had/have plans to travel this weekend so if the the Tropical Storm / Supposed to be Hurricane when it makes landfall tonight leaves us without power you may not hear from me for a few days :)

Understood. ^^ Stay safe!

Got the PM from Ashe - figured I'd pop my head in and say hey.

I'll let you both know I'm tenatively interested. I've given myself a personal limit of 3 PbP games that I'll be a part of at anytime, lest I get obsessive (as I tend to :-P) and let real life suffer. Right now, I am currently at that limit - the Midgard Northlands game I run that Ashe mentioned, the Jade Regent game you both see me in, and then a third that is a war-of-the-city-states build-tester/character-killer game. That third game is not meant to be a permanent affair then, but we did just start another battle so it'll be a little while before I have a chance to rotate out. I also had intended on my 'third slot' remaining an opportunity for short-term pick me up games.

That said, that third-game rotation has off-and-on been more trouble than it's worth, and having never played mythic or tristalt, I am very much interested in this. I also may have creeped these games once or twice in the past, so while I haven't time to read up much now, I remember the gist of it. Given that I'm still caught up in a third game, and also in the process of bringing a new-to-Pathfinder friend aboard the game I run, you two should continue on with as-is for now. If you're amenable to it though, I'd have a chance to give a serious look at it in the next month or two. Sound good?

I think we could manage that. Hadran might be able to finish up this module around then. ^^

Awesome. Also, thanks for thinking of me Ashe, and good luck with the storm again. Just got the notification from the Weather Channel app that it's a full blown-hurricane now. D-:

My IRL & PbP games have been a little slow, so I've had time to play around with some ideas and catch up on the story so far (@ pg. 30, currently). Definitely looks cool, and yeah, I'm way into it. While I'm refining a couple character concepts, I don't know if I saw it stated explicitly so I'm asking: What's the intended endpoint for this campaign? Level 20, Tier 10?

Yyyyyup. Plus divine ascension. XD Fully regaining powers. Throw your ideas at me before building them, because mythic tristalts are COMPLICATED.
