Houserules:

Houserules:

Casting: When casting a spell defensivly if you fail you do not automaticly lose the spell, rather you provoke an attack as you normally would for not casting defensive. If you are hit you must make a concentration check dc 10+damage taken if you fail this check you lose the spell.

Rolls:
Many rolls will be handled by the GM in secret.(don't worry, I don't fudge.)
Any result that can influence the character behavior will not be rolled open.
Rolls that will be handled by the GM:
Perception
Sense Motive.

if you make the check I will send you a pm or make a post and put it in a spoiler depending on the situation.

Sometimes I will roll Initiative others I will ask you to roll depending on the situation. In some situation (rarely) I will bypass init entirely and have you all go first and enemies second or have enemies go first and you all go after.

Combat rules:
I'm a fair GM, I dont roll combat in secret, I don't change results, I don't ignore bad calls from the characters.
Sometimes, character dies, but I'm not a player killer, if I think that an encounter will be easy handled, when it should be more challenging, I will make it a more challenging, if the party it's not prepared to face something, I will drop hints, if they insist... well killing one or two players never made me lack sleep...

Actions:
I'm a GM that do not punish the character for trying something new or cool, or even strange. Visual appealing actions are encouraged, the dc will of course depend on what are you trying, but you can try! If what you want to do is wicked cool, I can even bend the game mechanics to allow it! The most importat part is: You are villains. Villains are smart, resourceful and have style! Have you ever seen a memorable villain that could just swing his sword and do nothing more?

Posting Rate
If it could be done, I expect 1/day posting, if you can post more, it will really good.
During weekend, this rule does not apply. If you are able to post, great! But dont stress over this, everyone need some time to rest (In my case, I need time to play and DM :D on my tabletop games).

Level up
Aside from character creation, when you level up, if you want something not from core rulebook, you'll need to search it inside the game. basicly what you need to do is just show in game your character is searching for that knowledge. This rule is not meant to prohibit anything, I just don't like something like this: "Character always as a full caster, never picked up a sword in his entire life, and then he gain a new level and says: Master, I'll level up as a fighter now..."

50% is correct

then each player has 616 gp to spend on gear, not counting any of the assigned gear if they choose to sell it. I will clean up the Loot Log and move the new scrolls to Selka in the morning.I will also look at any purchaes tomorrow, thanks.


If no one is interested, Tessai will pick up that masterwork Glaive.

Agreed on having the Divine scrolls going to Selka.

EDIT: Actually, never mind - I am not taking the glaive. If I don't, then everyone gets the 616 gold right?


Loot Tracker Human 4 Ranger | HP 38/38 | AC 18 | T 14 | FF 14 | CMD 21 | Fort +6 | Ref +8 | Will +4 | Init +4 | Perc +10

Giving Tessai the glaive lowers everyone's earnings to 176 from the sale and makes the amount available to spend 590gp instead of 616. Removing the rest as if sold.


As per my edit, I won't take the glaive - each can have the 616 gold ;)


Loot Tracker Human 4 Ranger | HP 38/38 | AC 18 | T 14 | FF 14 | CMD 21 | Fort +6 | Ref +8 | Will +4 | Init +4 | Perc +10

there is still one MW (magical) glaive on teh list that Selka his holding. Did we ever identify it? It looks like we obtained it in post 587, but I can't go look that up right now.


Male Elf Wizard 6/ Riftwarden 4/Archmage 3 | HP 77/77 | AC 15(22) | T 14 | FF 11(14) | CMD 20 | Fort +10 | Ref +11 | Will +13 | Init +7 | Perc +14 | RW - 12/13 | MP 10/11 | PC 10/10

I believe Varn failed his spellcraft check on the glaive. So we'll assume he takes 20 on the check now that the group is somewhere safe.

This will allow a Spellcraft check of... 32!


Varn, I believe the glaive is simply masterwork?


Loot Tracker Human 4 Ranger | HP 38/38 | AC 18 | T 14 | FF 14 | CMD 21 | Fort +6 | Ref +8 | Will +4 | Init +4 | Perc +10

Different one. Unless I'm confused.


Ah ok, there was a magical one.


Also Raven, I was taking a look at the assigned loot.

By now, Tessai should only have:

Radiance - +1 Cold Iron Longsword
MW Chain Shirt
Darkwood Sword Case
Potion of CLW
Wand of Cure Light Wounds (6 charges)
Potion of Shield of Faith
Potion of Cure Moderate Wounds

Rest was sold I believe.

Raven buys 20 silver arrows, 20 cold iron arrows, and 2 oils of magic weapon. That leaves her with 568.09 gp which am saving towards a magic bow at some point.

DO we want to pitch in to get a full wand of CLW?


There was a +1 glaive yes.

We have 18 charges plus a bunch of potions, plus the normal healing of our divine team. We may not need a full wand just yet. If the rest of the group wants to pitch in 125gp each, Raven will throw in her share.

YES! I have internet again!

Just when I thought I was starting to get a grip on my life again... the area where I live was hit by a minor flood. Fortunately damage was very minimal (thank god!), but a small landslide did break a major gas pipe, and severely F@!*ed up phone and internet services.

As it turns out, they were working on the line when the slide it, and they had to wait for the emergency to pass AND for the gas pipe to be fixed first before restoring everything else.

Add to that that my provider took its sweet sweet time to restore my service even after basically every other provider was done with it, and here I am today, tired, frustrated, quite a bit pissed (since unfortunately due to this I actually missed the deadline to send a curriculum for a nice job position I believe I'd have had an actual shot at getting... -.-'), but finally back on track! ^_^

I need to run right now, I have a job interview, but as soon as I get back I'll try to catch up with the game and post something!

With all my apologies (but it wasn't my fault, I swear! :o), it's good to be back! :D

Welcome back, Selka! Sorry to hear about the bad luck, that sucks.

Varn will chip in 125gp for a Wand of CLW as well. Not much for me to pick up right now anyway, possibly going to snatch up a MW backpack and perhaps a MW bow of some kind.


Loot Tracker Human 4 Ranger | HP 38/38 | AC 18 | T 14 | FF 14 | CMD 21 | Fort +6 | Ref +8 | Will +4 | Init +4 | Perc +10

I will add the Wand to Selka's inventory. Everyone should reduce their gold by 125gp to account for the purchase (I already wiped the loot tracker clean of money since we disbursed it.) Too bad we don't have any PP's like in PFS to get one gifted...

Oh, and Selka, welcome back! Hope you fight through this run of bad luck and come out the other side better for it. What kind of work did/do you do?


M Human Warpriest (Arsenal Chaplain) of Iomedae 2| HP 19 | AC 18 | T 14 | FF 14| CMD 18 | Fort +5 | Ref +4 | Will +5 | Init +5 | Perc +2

Better looking at it, than looking for it. 125gp it is

Yikes Selka, the hits just keep coming. Hopefully, everything will work out.


so heading out or waiting?

If so were too?


Heading out towards the Tower of Estrod I believe? It is the closer one, and the plan seems to be hitting a safe house, then returning to leave in the morning.

Correct guys?


M Human Warpriest (Arsenal Chaplain) of Iomedae 2| HP 19 | AC 18 | T 14 | FF 14| CMD 18 | Fort +5 | Ref +4 | Will +5 | Init +5 | Perc +2

I'm good with that.

If our resident wizard is feeling a little magically depleted and wants to pick up a couple of scrolls, I don't mind pitching in some coin.


Not a bad idea actually. I'm assuming you head to the tower possibly after buying some scrolls.

You head out and make in to the base of the tower without bumping into any problem.

This sixty-foot-diameter gray stone tower is missing the bulk of its upper floors—some terrific force smashed its upper sections away, creating huge mound of rubble north of the building and leaving the tower now a mere stump with a jagged top. Still at least three floors remain.

At the base of the tower four guards stand in front of the entrance. They haven't noticed you approaching yet.


Loot Tracker Human 4 Ranger | HP 38/38 | AC 18 | T 14 | FF 14 | CMD 21 | Fort +6 | Ref +8 | Will +4 | Init +4 | Perc +10

Is that supposed to be posted in gameplay?


as a matter of fact yes. I will correct that/


M Human Warpriest (Arsenal Chaplain) of Iomedae 2| HP 19 | AC 18 | T 14 | FF 14| CMD 18 | Fort +5 | Ref +4 | Will +5 | Init +5 | Perc +2

I vote for smashing. The bluff got us inside and close, which was really the goal.


Male Elf Wizard 6/ Riftwarden 4/Archmage 3 | HP 77/77 | AC 15(22) | T 14 | FF 11(14) | CMD 20 | Fort +10 | Ref +11 | Will +13 | Init +7 | Perc +14 | RW - 12/13 | MP 10/11 | PC 10/10

Okay, at first I was a little bit on the fence as whether or not to go down the road of the PrC with Varn due to the awesomeness of Reveal Weakness; however, I decided to go with the PrC even if it meant a reduction in the power level of RW. I was rereading over Varn's arcane school and realized that Reveal Weakness isn't based off wizard level, it's based off caster level and that made me really excited lol. Hurray for debuffing awesomeness!


I was reading up on casting defensibly and saw that as per the rules if you fail to cast defensive you simply lose the spell.

I would like to make a change here.

From: Cast Defensive->Fail->Lose Spell

To: Cast Defensive->Fail->Provokes Attack-> If hit->Make a new concentration check dc10+damage dealt+spell level or lose the spell.


Loot Tracker Human 4 Ranger | HP 38/38 | AC 18 | T 14 | FF 14 | CMD 21 | Fort +6 | Ref +8 | Will +4 | Init +4 | Perc +10

So if try to Cast Defensively, fail and are missed by an AoO, you can still cast with full effect? That's a boon to spellcasters with high AC.


I have always read that Concentration rolls become a cake walk as you level up, becoming almost negligible at middle levels, but I can't really confirm or deny, since I don't have that much experience with high level casters.

So, my opinion on this one is not a very educated one ;)


This is correct but I find it makes more sense this way.


M Human Warpriest (Arsenal Chaplain) of Iomedae 2| HP 19 | AC 18 | T 14 | FF 14| CMD 18 | Fort +5 | Ref +4 | Will +5 | Init +5 | Perc +2

That's why you grapple them with your AoO, or trip them, or sunder their spell component pouch. Spells can help AC, but their CMD is still usually in the gutter.


Male Elf Wizard 6/ Riftwarden 4/Archmage 3 | HP 77/77 | AC 15(22) | T 14 | FF 11(14) | CMD 20 | Fort +10 | Ref +11 | Will +13 | Init +7 | Perc +14 | RW - 12/13 | MP 10/11 | PC 10/10

I really like this change, makes spell casters not so worthless when the fight erupts into total melee anarchy.


I've always felt that groups should organize themselves to guarantee the survivability of their own casters and ranged support - I have actually built characters around that premise before.

Keep in mind that this will make life that much harder for our melees - getting in the bad guy's face will not be enough - they will be swinging at him, but all the while eating spells to the face.


Male Elf Wizard 6/ Riftwarden 4/Archmage 3 | HP 77/77 | AC 15(22) | T 14 | FF 11(14) | CMD 20 | Fort +10 | Ref +11 | Will +13 | Init +7 | Perc +14 | RW - 12/13 | MP 10/11 | PC 10/10

Going off the characters' STs... I believe either Orlando, Raven, or Varn would benefit the most from the Cloak of Resistance. The Ring should probably go to one of the melee characters, I think (Perhaps Selka since she has so far been shafted on the magical item list lol).

The Bracers should go to Varn, since I don't think anyone else would really get any benefit from them; however, if someone else is interested I won't argue any claim.


Agreed on all accounts. I would argue the Cloak of Resistance to Aeron, but he already has one.

My only exception would be maybe regarding the Ring of Protection - from the 'frontliners' Aeron has the highest AC, followed by me and Selka with the same one (AC 19) - since Selka is more of a 'reach' character, that could potentially attack from a second line, I would say Tessai could get the ring.

However, I already have Radiance, and I gotta admit that is already a significant cut of any loot in my book, so I am honestly fine with any distribution, and to be fair Selka should probably have it.


Loot Tracker Human 4 Ranger | HP 38/38 | AC 18 | T 14 | FF 14 | CMD 21 | Fort +6 | Ref +8 | Will +4 | Init +4 | Perc +10

I have updated the Loot tracker.

Bracers to Varn
Ring of Protection to Selka
Cloak of Resistance to Orlando
Wand of Magic Weapon - Tessai? Selka?

will have to see what that other wand is to distribute. I think the rest is correct.


The other wand is a healing wand.


Raven, I was taking a look at the Loot Tracker - Tessai does not have the MW Glaive anymore, it was sold as group loot the last time.

Also, doesn't Selka have that magic glaive that is set as unclaimed - Selka, can't you use it?

EDIT: Raven, have you also assigned/distributed the other, more mundane items like the pots? And the wealth to the pile? ;)

Nope, can't use it unfortunately. I'll just have to save up some cash and get myself a nice spear. ^_^

As for the ring, thanks guys I really appreciate it, but let's be honest it'll probably be more useful to either Aeron or Tessai, since Selka is going to start to cast a few spells before wading into battle more and more as time goes on, and since Tessai seems to have one less AC point than Aeron, I'd gladly see her take the ring.

The stronger the party, the more chances we have of success! ^_^


You find a Minotaur head made of brass that radiates magical energy.

This is a brazen head a cultist magical item that can cast unhallow once per year.

There is nothing else of note here other than what you found.


Loot Tracker Human 4 Ranger | HP 38/38 | AC 18 | T 14 | FF 14 | CMD 21 | Fort +6 | Ref +8 | Will +4 | Init +4 | Perc +10

Removed the MW Glaive from Tessai. Moved the Ring of Protection to her also.

Yes the mundane, unclaimed loot is on the first tab of the tracker. It will be sold, I assume, for coin, the next time we find a settlement.

The coins are on the first tab as well and the formula shows the distribution, but these aren't distributed yet.

LMK if anyone has other edits for the Loot Log, it's easy to miss things...

GM: Can you unclick Antonio Nedraid from the list of Current Characters? That was a little goof on my part.


Loot Tracker Human 4 Ranger | HP 38/38 | AC 18 | T 14 | FF 14 | CMD 21 | Fort +6 | Ref +8 | Will +4 | Init +4 | Perc +10

Based on the sale of the unwanted loot and the payment from Irabeth, our gold per person is up to 545.67. I am going to clear that from the log, and assume everyone will move the distribution to their character sheets.

Additionally, we still have an unclaimed Wand of Magic Weapon, and an unidentified wand to deal with.

Tessai, did you take the magical glaive? I can't remember since you have Radiance.


No glaive for me, I am sticking with Radiance ;)

I'm writing this for every game I'm in:

A few days ago, a very close relative was diagnosed with the initial stages of a very serious disease, and my family and I are trying to cope with what it's going to happen.

It's been a AWFUL few days, and I'm sorry I didn't post anything but saying I was crushed would be an understatement.

I'll try to sort through the posts since I was gone later today and post something in the gameplay thread tonight.

Thank you all for your patience with me.
