Wrath of the Righteous Table Resurgence (Inactive)

Game Master nightdeath

Sometimes that just won't make sense, though. Won't the paladin somehow end up with scrolls and the thief with a plate armor?

Just doing what makes most sense, makes more sense to me.
Unless of course we can't come to an agreement.
(If someone else is interested in the cloudwalking scale, do say so; I'm not calling 'dibs'. Lethander's teleport can help him get to some places too at later level.

I am open to suggestions for a fair method to distribute magic items. Another method is to treat it similar to initiative. If you "delay" your initiative, you pass the item to the next in the initiative order until you want the next magical item. When more than one person delays, the first delayer has priority.

For example, four items (W,X,Y,Z) for five people. Consumables less than 1,000 gp do not count towards your selection and distributed by group need. Using a 1d10, lowest number has first pick. "A" designates number of magical items previously picked. The further down the alphabet means more items that player has. Alphabetically goes first followed by numeric initiative order.

Zakon rolls A1
Garrett A3
Katia A5
Lethander A7
Abagail A9

Zakon picks item W. Garrett and Katia delays. Lethander picks item X. Abagail picks Y. Garrett and Katia continue to delay leaving the last item for the others. Zakon delays and Lethander chooses item Z. The new initiative order is:

Garret A3 (A=no items selected)
Katia A5
Zakon B1 (B=one item selected)
Abagail B9
Lethander C7 (C=two items selected)

Two new items appear. Garrett and Abagail claim both of them. Katia and Zakon delays. New initiative order. Those with less magical items designated alphabetically go first followed by numeric initiative order.

Katia A5 (A=no items selected)
Zakon B1 (B=one item selected)
Garret B3
Lethander C7 (C=two items selected)
Abagail C9

Initiative is only rolled once. I hope this makes sense and helps evenly distribute the items fairly among the players. We can track this initiative on the loot list.

I made my method sound much more complicated than it is. It is just an easy way to count your items and keep it balanced. For example, at 9th level, I can see that Zakon is an "M1" and Abagail is a "G2", so naturally he should get additional picks on items that are beneficial to multiple players in order to catch up.

Just to be clear, role-playing and pace of a campaign is much more important to me than loot distribution. I am fine with sending loot to the character with the best fit and roll offs with multiple interested players.

For now, I think you're overthinking it. The effort's appreciated but personally, I can live with the way the stuff's distributed now...
If it ever becomess an issue, we'll deal with it then.

@GM:

A lot of Lethander's starting gear is still in Kenabres, or something...
I bought a pack mule with camping & survival gear; but since it'd make little sense that it would be coming along with him to the festival.

Should I just scratch it (like half my starting gear :p) from my sheet or do you think there's a way to get it back somehow? The beast and the stuff it's carrying already would've come in handy here, hm.

@Lethander.
Body of mule would be found in the starting point with all your gear.
Rest well.

There's still some loot to divide or otherwise sell...
Two masterwork chainmails, no one has a use for either? If not, I suggest selling and dividing the money.

Lethander will sell the brooch and share the 200gp equally among the group (if that's how much he's paid for it).

Any chance of buying a new pack animal here?

@GM nightdeath: You wrote 'see above' for the supplies, but I don't know what you're referring to... Or do you mean the stuff they're selling?

Your GM Smacks himself.
Ignore the 'See Above'.

No pack animal here and I've added in the details for the village you are in.
Most CRB items are inside with some magical items.
Items sold are for half value but no one will accept the brooch as you'll find out later.

Also for successfully reaching the village. All of you are now level 2.

Level two? Fantastic! Do you allow retraining for ability scores, feats or traits? If so, what are your requirements? My feat progression changed due to an errata. Just curious if I can retrain weapon focus to scimitar for dervish dance by taking two levels of lore warden fighter archetype at 2nd and 3rd level and picking up a drawback and additional trait. Or three levels in weapon master fighter archetype. Still deciding.

Here is the prestige class that I want.

Katia could use one, she would also keep one of the glaives to later impersonate a cultist.

Hello all, still around just not sure what to say also got involved in some other stuff.

Will try to stay with it, just need to find my motivation for the character

@zakon. It's a game to be enjoyed. Go ahead and retrain. Rping it would be nice.

@abigail. No problem. I have problems with that sometimes. Same for zakon. If you guys feel your current character isn't working out for you, feel free to change it.

how are we doing hit points?

In case we're rolling:
HP: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Ah, great.

Also not sure if I posted this here earlier or no but just in case.

Hp is either rolled or half+1, take whichever is higher.

you may have posted it earlier, I was just too lazy to sort back to find it :-)

Hit points: 1d10 ⇒ 3

6 it is!

updated

Nearly finished updating. As I said, I'd like to keep one MW chainshirt. Do any of you have an use for the second one?

HP: 1d8 ⇒ 1 5 hp it is

HP: 1d8 ⇒ 4

There's money in the loot list, please take and update.

Katia, mind helping Lethander with some Guidance?

No pb, glad to help.

With that, Katia is leveled

I retrained Zakon, but changes were minor. Moved skill ranks around to meet the upcoming prestige class preq's. Shifted more points to INT and less to CON and WIS. His AC will be very good at 6th level.

Dear Players, Abigail has PMed me to say that she has to drop the game and I wish her luck in her future endeavours.

Now My question to you guys as Abigail feels bad about just bailing on a fantastic group like you guys;
Do you wish to carry on or Recruit another?

I'll leave it to all of you to vote.

A cleric or oracle would be nice. Also, we might need someone with trapfinding but usually dedicated healer is more important. The Seeker archetype Life Oracle would kill two birds with one stone.

I don't mind retraining into a seeker life oracle if the group wants to have a healer and trapfinding role but not another person. The pitborn tiefling would give the necessary stat adjustment and compliment the trapfinding skills.

Thoughts?

I'm fine with staying with just 4 players. Don't forget that we already have two divine castersand two arcane casters. Our paladin will have access to lay on hands and channel and Katia can cast some of the healing/buff cleric spells, even if she doesn't have the cleric versatility.

My plan for Katia in one level or two is to take a level dip in ranger trapmaster to get disable device, so she can cover the disable device spot.

On the necessity of having a dedicated healer, as one who plays a lot of cleric/oracles in other PBP, I think it is not necessary at all. It can help but can easily be covered by other roles, especially with this AP and the mythic tiers/regeneration powers.

Having no idea on what lies ahead of us, I honestly can't say.
I'd be completely fine with either option.
I'm pretty comfortable with our group as is and don't think it should pose too much trouble as long as the game's balanced to 4 players...
But undoubtedly there are plenty of players 'out there' who want a spot in a PbP.

Also, sorry, but I'll be going on a trip next week and won't have access to the internet. Please GMPC me, or if (one of) the other players feel like temporarily picking up my character, that's good too.

I'm fine with continuing with 4.

Then I should think that the group is good to go.

Shall we move on?

On our way

Away at work. Will be back by Monday. AM too tired to post anything.

Sorry, I'm awfully busy at work and at home. I'll try to update tomorrow.

Back.
Lethander remaining quiet and following from a short distance.

It will be difficult for me to post until Sunday evening as I am traveling for a wedding. Posting will be brief until then.

Will be away at a Con for the weekend but will post as much as I can.

Ouch. That looks like a way to teach me that Katia shouldn't use another god's symbol. If it's so, I'm very very sorry guys. I will not do it again.

Not really Katia. There were patrols and they're not accounted for.

Comments on this recent combat? Was it too challenging or just nice?

I thought it was a bit too challenging but not to a large degree. If the minions made a few of their saves or if the leader channeled negative energy Round 1 instead of casting bless, it could have been PTK or at least 2 deaths.

As with most of the tough fights at low level, it is always on the fence. I can either go well as it did or just en up badly. That said, with the two color spray spell used, we were good on the low level minions. We could have come up with a slightly better outcome had Lethander managed to kill the leader before the second channel negative energy.

That's the difficult part of the challenge as we cannot do anything against such a weapon : no interruption of the ability use and very high save.

In total it could easily have been a TPK with less luck and worse tactics. And we used a lot of our resources. But it came out good in the end.

Lethander's quite useless in combat at the moment I'm afraid. So I went with the certainty of killing an enemy before it could become a problem instead of the (roughly calculated) 15% chance of having killed the leader.

Could've easily gone the other way, but we won, that's what matters :-)

Well in a way their leader didn't have anything else left as he had already used his spells to buff his platoon. Casted Silence and tossed it in the room just when you finished off the ranger mongrelman.

The warriors were just disciplned enough though the color spray did the trick.

The champion was the most dangerous but got cut down early.

Good news though you cleared the main patrol.

The loot should be good once you start searching them and for your 'friends'.

You can identify potions with spellcraft as well. The perception check is listed as a secondary method of identification. (GM's permission, of course)

Go ahead. Either checks like Craft (Alchemy), Spellcraft or perception should get you the results.

"You can identify potions with spellcraft as well. The perception check is listed as a secondary method of identification"

Where is that written? Not saying you're wrong, I seem to remember the same, but I can't find it anywhere.

From the PRD (under magical items/potions):

Sorry for the delay Folks, just spent a few days in hospital with one of my daughters. She's all right now but gave us a little scare. I'll resume posting today.

Garrett will lay on hands
1d6 ⇒ 3

That should help :-)

This is going to all games I'm involved in.

My mum has just being warded and it is a critical time for all of us. My posting will be affected as I maintain virgil over her witing for teh doctors to dignosed what's wrong with her.

Bot me as needed or If I'm the GM, this game is on hold for the moment. My apolgies for the inconvenice.

Best wishes
