We all roll initiative, I get the highest result, I'm a Paladin at the time, and the GM said I had attacked an innocent person and as such I should lose my powers... Needless to say I had a discussion about it then that lasted a while :p
<p>I would say that if you encounter people in the woods, and the DM calls for initiative, a fight is breaking out. </p>
<p>Using initiative for social interactions is fine I suppose, but let the people know first.</p>paladinguy wrote:Played a game with a new DM today. Walking through the woods.

<p>So I wanted to create an adventure that goes to some crazy locations, and with weird creatures. (and when I got here I saw the Spellgate thread so I might be stealing that lol)</p>
<p>But, there is a catch, Evil Outsiders are totally overdone by my group as either the BBEG or the Saturday morning cartoon evil-guy needed to fill out adventures. </p>
<p>Looking to probe your minds to see if any of you can think up some cool encounters on a different plane, the monsters themselves, and maybe even some sort of planar-political intrigue that doesn't involve the Hells, or the Abyss. </p>
<p>One Idea I had was once the characters get to plane hopping, Go to the Plane of air and do some cloud fighting. the twist is the enemies are fighting amongst themselves, Air elementals vs mephitis, the heroes choose who they want to help and go from there, the twist is they are on moving clouds, and can move to larger or more stable clouds through whatever means they have. etcetc. Another one is maybe sailing the astral sea and maybe fighting some followers of Besmara.</p>
<p>You guys have any idea you're willing to share?</p>Hello everyone, I've recently got my creative juices flowing and wanted to start framing up an adventure for some of my friends just incase our DM needs a break.

<p><b>"Sorry my Lady, we'll be leavin you on your lonesome. </b>One of the men spoke out at Kendra. A look of shame and embarassment marked the mobs faces as they quietly disbanded.

<p><b>"Thank you, Oh thank you!</b> Kendra thanks you profusely, and apologizes on behalf of the town for the near-assault. The others accompanying you seem shocked at the attack. Whispering to each other about the people involved, the terms "all of low-character' and 'just the local farmhands' spread through the group rather quickly. </p>
<p>Within a few moments, another old fellow approaches the procession. Revealing himself as Father Grimburrow, Kendra goes to the man and they converse. The end result being the continuation of the burial. The rest of the trip towards the burial plot is uneventful. And the clergyman begin to lower Lorrimor's coffin into the cold ground.</p>
<p>After a short sermon by Father Grimburrow, Kendra takes the podium and recounts a few of the more selfless and courageous moments from Petros Lorrimor's life. It is obvious she is fighting back tears as she continues. Afterwards, she thanks everyone for attending the funeral. Then asks if anyone would like to share any memories, or if anyone would like to say something before Professor Lorrimor is done and buried.</p>

<p>Kendra smiles sweetley at everyone who has volunteered to be a pallbearer for her father's funeral. Nodding her head at your comments and directing her gaze towards Mubutu.<b>"My father has always been a popular man, but somethings, especially those involved in the Arcane, are seen poorly in the eyes of the ill-informed. Sadly, things here are such that these rumors have taken hold as possibly true. And that seems to be enough for some people."</b></p>
<p>Kendra looks towards the cemetary, takes a deep breath and makes a dismissive hand gesture. <b>"But, let's leave such topics for another day... Shall we begin?"</b></p>
<p>At that, the clergyman within the tomb set the Coffin at the ready infront of the gate that leads deeper into the cemetary. A dingy sign, marked by years of neglect and rust swings limply in the rain. 'Dreamwake' is written on it in common. A gravel pathway leads through the gate, and apparently towards your destination of Professor Lorrimor's grave.</p>
<p>All of you are able to lift the coffin of your late friend with relative ease. Although using two hands is required. Kendra takes the lead of the procession, being the closest living relative Lorrimor has. the heroes follow closley in line, with the other mourners staying back behind you.</p>
<p>It gets darker and the rain beats down on your heads harder as you progress.</p>
<p>The gravel road winds through the cemetary. About at the half-way point through the dreamwake, you round a corner onto another gravel path, called the eversleep. However, something is amiss. A group of a dozen surly looking locals stands in the way of the path.</p>
<p>The tallest of the group, and elderly and wiry looking mans stands at the centre of the path. He stands firm and begins to speak once he notices the group approaching.</p>
<p><b>"Now now, that's a-far enough. Now we folks have been talkin', and we don't want Lorrimor buried in these here Restlands. You can take him up river and bury him there if you want... But he ain't goin in the ground here!!"</b></p>
<p>Kendra was swift to respond, her sadness quickly transforming into anger. <b>"What are you talking about!?"</b> She cries out. <b>" I arranged it with Father Grimburrow! He's ecpecting us! The grave's already been..."</b> Kendra voice ends when her voice cracked, choked with sadness and frustration.</p>
<p>The opposing locals seem rallied by the old one's words, and make their agreeance known.</p>

<p>It was a dark and stormy night...
<br />
Dark clouds blotch the sky, leaving what would normally be a adequately lit evening look like the dead of night, sparks of lightning streak far off in the distance with a low rumble several seconds later. Darkness stretches through the sky hold for a faint line of orange on the horizon. Water spits at you from above, not enough to soak your clothes, but enough to make you damp and uncomfortable. After such a long travel to get here, and now you stand waiting. You have had better days... but at least you made it on-time.
<br />
A few locals are also meandering the yard just outside of a tomb, they have long somber faces, displaying more boredom than mourning. Within the tomb, you notice what seems to be clergymen, dressed in brown drab robes, seemingly preparing a coffin for transport. Also, a young woman stands aside from them, onlooking the process. The woman's face is mournful, with red puffy eyes. </p>

<p>As I post in this thread throughout the week, I will keep posting this list, and under each name I will give feedback to each character, it will make things easier for me to handle to keep things in one place. :)</p>
<p>Thank you all for your submissions! This is making me want to play even more! :D</p>
<p>Also, any questions on how I run things or reccomendations to a new PBP DM would be great.</p>
<p>How do people feel about hero points? </p>
<p>@ Marcus Liore - Hello Marcus, I looked over your character sheet and while I don't see anything being a problem, I'm going to stand firm on my stance of keeping things within the books I have laid out in the OP. This is more to to me being a new DM in regards to PBP, and to all things PBP in general. But I thank you for showing an interest in this campaign.</p>Hey guys! Just checking in and I like What I'm seeing. I have compiled a list of character names that have been submitted. I'll post it here so people can give me a shout out to see if I missed anyone.

<p>I'm a newb DM looking to start up the Carrion Crown adventure path with a group of 5 individuals. Currently, I have a RL group that is going through the campaign and is just finishing up Book 3. </p>
<p>I have found some extra time, and I want to get my feet wet with PBP DM'ing. This will be my first foray into PBP DM'ing, so any players who would like to play must be able to deal with any shortcomings I may have on my side. I'm willing to learn, and I ask for patience. </p>
<p>So with that out of the way, who's interested in playing a horror campaign? ;)</p>
<p>====================================
<br />
<b> Character creation guidlines </b>
<br />
- Looking for characters with good flavor for the setting. Please read through the free Carrion Crown (CC) player's guide. Try and get into the mood presented throughout. :)</p>
<p>- Although a horror game it is, I want a heroic feel to the campaign as well. So I'm hesitant to allow Evil alignments. However, if I see a character with some good flavor, I'll handwave that restriction.</p>
<p>- All character's must have had a relationship to Professor Lorrimor. This will be represented mechanically with a trait from the CC player's guide. Lorrimor was a respected or an admired figure in your character's life.</p>
<p>- I would like to see a brief personality description, and some background info. A paragraph for each will suffice, your legacy is going to be crafted from this adventure, so it doesn't have to be extensive :)</p>
<p><b> The Crunch </b>
<br />
- <b>Allowed books : Pathfinder Core rules, Advanced player's Guide, Ultimate Combat, Ultimate Magic, Carrion Crown Player's guide.</b>
<br />
All character choices must come from these books, this includes feats, race selections, spells, items, classes etc. </p>
<p>- All players will start at level 1, with Max HP, and Maximum starting gold. </p>
<p>- 25 point buy. </p>
<p>- 2 traits, one of which must come from the CC player's guide.
<br />
===================================</p>
<p>Any questions or comments please do not hesitate, I'll make my choices for character's by Sunday, June 10th.</p>Hello Everyone!

I understand the argument from both sides, but to me it still seems kinda vague.</p>
<p>I think I'm going to rule it that if the Spell allows SR, the golem will still be immune to the effect of the spell, except as noted in the exceptions entry under 'Immunity to magic'. All non-SR applicable spells and effects do their normal thing AND apply the effects under the exceptions entry.</p>
<p>So if a Flesh golem it targeted with a Scorching Ray, and hits, the golem does not take any damage(Due to his immunity) but still however becomes slowed for 2d6 rounds.</p>
<p>If a character strikes a Flesh Golem with a frost weapon, the Golem takes the cold damage, (Since its a magical effect that doesn't allow SR) AND becomes slow. Since the attack is magical.</p>
<p>My player seemed content with that ruling. I think I'll stick with it until something gets wonky later on... And knowing him he's probably already thinking up ways to take advantage of it. :)</p>Thanks for the advice guys. I understand the argument from both sides, but to me it still seems kinda vague.

<br />
A magical attack that deals electricity damage breaks any slow effect on the golem and heals 1 point of damage for every 3 points of damage the attack would otherwise deal. If the amount of healing would cause the golem to exceed its full normal hit points, it gains any excess as temporary hit points. A flesh golem gets no saving throw against attacks that deal electricity damage.</blockquote><p>The question was do magical attacks of the elements listed bypass the immunity even if they allow Spell resistance?
<p>My current thoughts are that either the attacks have to come from an enchanted weapon or come from a spell that does not allow SR.</p>
<p>The player wants all Cold, Fire, and electircal damage dealing spells to work on the Flesh Golem, SR or not.</p>

<p>I was a Rogue/Swashbuckler/Avenger, started with petty thieving, repented to a Cleric of Lathander, afterwards I played him as an impulsive do-gooder, who turned to foolish and daring if you threatened the well-being of his friends and interests. His motto was 'The only way is all the way." And he got in so much Hyjinx trying to make sure the party and town were protected from threats and spies I'm surprised my character lasted to the end of the campaign.</p>
<p>The term Justice-Ninja was used synominously with my character...</p>
<p>It was the BBEG battle, and his army of orcs marching on our beloved town.</p>
<p>The party had just re-grouped from each dealing with their own threats in the war. (Mine was usurping the enemies spy network, draft them into the war and send them to fight their own armies... getting themselves massacred in the process. It was a high-magic campaign, and I had a mindbender cohort.)</p>
<p>Anyways, We were on a bridge watching the BBEG (a super-wizard with an artifact that gave him infinite spell slots...) and our party wizard was counterspelling him a lot and was running out of juice.</p>
<p>Needless to say we were boned once our wizard ran out of spell slots.</p>
<p>The DM mentioned that we had to destroy the artifact to really have a chance (It was a visible medallion), However outright destroying it would cause a catasrophic explosion.</p>
<p>I had some abilities to Dimension door, and a cloak of the mountebank. Which also D-doored. Both abilities could carry more than just me...</p>
<p>I did some math with my Warblade partner, figured out that I could bring him with me if I teleported right to the BBEG. He dropped some gear and readied an action ;)</p>
<p>We looked at each other, nodded, and I bamfed us towards the wizard. </p>
<p>My Warblade friend managed to sunder the artifact, and the resulting explosion damaged my partner, and I somehow was unscathed (YAY improved Evasion!) Only problem was we were now some undisclosed distance away from the ground. </p>
<p>That was when my DM mentioned I couldn't use any magic... I was like "wha!?" as I was crossing out the spellslot for Featherfall.</p>
<p>apparently I was supercharged from the artifact, and using my magic would cause another mini-explosion.(An avenger is a good-aligned Assassin...)</p>
<p>The Warblade hit the ground, made his massive damage check. </p>
<p>I rolled a 1. The only number I could roll to fail a DC15 fort save.</p>
<p>Seeing it, I tell my DM that I wanna go out with a bang....</p>
<p>I use some acrobatics checks to move myself while falling, and go above the river that ran through the town we were defending, which was being frozen over by the BBEG and allowing another attack vector into our town. (One we hadn't considered. It was a loose end we didn't know how to deal with. Our resources had been taxed to the extreme.)</p>
<p>I use my 2 or 3 actions I had to move over the Ice, and start to nova my magical powers. I timed it to when I hit the Ice.</p>
<p>The DM was lenient, and when I mentioned, I want to hit the ice so hard, and with the explosion, I want to break up the ice. He let me charge into the Ice in my own personal Dragonball death sequence.</p>
<p>This resulted in a whole legion of orcs to fall into the waters. Most of them drowned, the ones that made it were easy pickings for our archers...</p>
<p>A few days passed and my character was regarded as a hero by the town. Atmos the Saint! </p>
<p>I then had a conversation with Lathander and my Fey Grandma(Heritage feats...), Lathander was impressed with me, and asked how far I'd go to protect what you love? (a running theme for my character was the "To hell and back" meme-thing) I said I would go to the furthest depths of hell to save them.</p>
<p>Lathander smiles, next thing I know, I'm walking out of a beam of light from the heavens smack dab in town square...naked.</p>
<p>Atmos the Saint has been ressurected by Lathander himself... With the Saint template. :)</p>
<p>And, as luck would have it. Our groups reincarnated Hell-reaver paladin's soul was being contested by the courts in the nine-hells(this is a whole other story Arc.). </p>
<p>One way tickets were offered as a safe passage... The way out was to be left to us... </p>
<p>I let out a heavy sigh that session lol.</p>My most epic character death was a Faerun game a while back, with my rogue.

3) Well, if the Druid uses his move action to leave the Wall, and uses his Standard action to cast. I would say no, he's got no movement left to return into the wall. (I have had players try to do similar things with 'peeking' around corners. It got silly, so they can only see without their 5 foot square now.)</p>Franc Crosses wrote:A druid which is wild-shaped (elemental body) into an earth elemental has the ability "earth glide".

- If he's inside of a wall, can he see/hear what's happening in an adjacent room?
- Can he cast (while he's inside of the wall) into an adjacent room?
- Can he emerge(what exactly that means?), cast a spell and then go back inside the wall?
Thank you

<p>So, here is how I see it working with a level 3 Magus.</p>
<p>-Magus uses Chill touch in concert with his spell combat.
<br />
-Casts Chill touch.
<br />
-Takes a 5 foot step towards enemy.
<br />
-Makes free attack granted by Touch range spells with a -2(spell combat) using spellstrike.
<br />
-Makes attacks based on his Base attack bonus -2.</p>
<p>If enough charges are being held, any hits he creates with his weapons will release a charge. So, assuming all hit, the magus will use 2 charges.</p>
<p>Any misses results in no charges being lost. </p>
<p>I am ruling that once spellstrike is activated (declared when casting), the 'caster' includes the character and his weapon. So the rule about accidental touching, and so on apply if things hit him or his weapon.</p>
<p>He cannot choose to not discharge a spell when using his weapon.</p>
<p>••Another quick question on accidental discharge. Can a charge only be involuntarily discharged if the object interacted with is a valid target? Chill touch specifies creatures touched. So being pegged by an arrow, or being whacked by a sword wouldn't release a charge would it?)</p>Ok, although I still think it's really hazy (The spell itself more than the general rules).

<p>This is how I think I will rule it, unless somehting I missed gets pointed out.</p>
<p>Chill touch doesn't allow you to make multiple touches in the round you cast it. You still only get the one free touch attack as per normal. Which can be delivered through spell strike by the Magus.</p>
<p>If the magus gains any more attacks, whether through her BaB and Spell combat, AoO's and the like. The Magus can swing her weapon and subsequently release a charge of Chill Touch. (Up to the maximum touches allowed by the spell.)</p>
<p>Holding these charges do not go beyond the round the Magus cast it (So out-of-turn attacks such as AoO's may still deliver a charge of Chill touch. If made before the Magus's next turn.)</p>
<p>Okay, I think that is how it's supposed to be.</p>
<p>@ProfPots</p>
<p>I think it's interesting what you mentioned about that line of text not being applicable to Chill touch and its Ilk. And I will think/read more about it.</p>
<p>However, my knee jerk reaction is that is false. The rule cited covers touch spells that allow you to touch multiple targets(Chill touch says Target: creature/level). However, there is another rule that says you can only touch so many people as a full round actions</p>
<div class="messageboard-quotee">'Holding the Charge' wrote:</div><blockquote>Holding the Charge: If you don't discharge the spell in the round when you cast the spell, you can hold the charge indefinitely. You can continue to make touch attacks round after round. If you touch anything or anyone while holding a charge, even unintentionally, the spell discharges. If you cast another spell, the touch spell dissipates. <b>You can touch one friend as a standard action or up to six friends as a full-round action.</b> Alternatively, you may make a normal unarmed attack (or an attack with a natural weapon) while holding a charge. In this case, you aren't considered armed and you provoke attacks of opportunity as normal for the attack. If your unarmed attack or natural weapon attack normally doesn't provoke attacks of opportunity, neither does this attack. If the attack hits, you deal normal damage for your unarmed attack or natural weapon and the spell discharges. If the attack misses, you are still holding the charge.</blockquote><p>I believe the bolded refers to spells such as Communal Energy Resistance. Whereas the one quoted in the OP refers to spells like Chill touch, and possibly Also Communal Energy Resistance. If you fail to use the charges, then the spell is wasted.
<p>These rules are separated, one is under the heading of Combat, the other under Durations. So they seem to both apply in this instance.</p>Hmm, Ok. I think I'm getting it now.

<p><b>Some touch spells allow you to touch multiple targets as part of the spell. You can't hold the charge of such a spell; you must touch all targets of the spell in the same round that you finish casting the spell.</b>
<br />
</blockquote><p>So, with chill touch as an example, a Magus(or anyone) would not be allowed to hold the charge of the spell beyond the round it is cast.
</p>
But this is not really what I'm having trouble deciding on.</p>
<p>It's really how many free weapon swings does he get for casting it.</p>
<p>I skimmed the other link, Grick, and it seems a Creative Director says making more than one touch a round is a nono if you don't have the Base Attack. (I don't have time to really research it atm, but I will later tonight.)</p>
<p>But if that's true, why have the CasterLevel touches at all in Chill Touch?... </p>
<p>Any other insights would be appreciated.</p>@Grick

I have been lurking and DM'ing(A first timer) a Pathfinder game recently, and I had some questions about the ability 'Spellstrike' from the Magus class and how it works with multi-touch spells. Mainly Chill-touch...</p>
<div class="messageboard-quotee">'Spellstrike' wrote:</div><blockquote><p>Spellstrike (Su)</p>
<p>At 2nd level, whenever a magus casts a spell with a range of “touch” from the magus spell list, he can deliver the spell through any weapon he is wielding as part of a melee attack. Instead of the free melee touch attack normally allowed to deliver the spell, a magus can make one free melee attack with his weapon (at his highest base attack bonus) as part of casting this spell. If successful, this melee attack deals its normal damage as well as the effects of the spell. If the magus makes this attack in concert with spell combat, this melee attack takes all the penalties accrued by spell combat melee attacks. This attack uses the weapon’s critical range (20, 19–20, or 18–20 and modified by the keen weapon property or similar effects), but the spell effect only deals ×2 damage on a successful critical hit, while the weapon damage uses its own critical modifier.</blockquote><div class="messageboard-quotee">'Chill Touch' wrote:</div><blockquote><br />

<p>My player came to me and made the argument that in the round he casts the spell, he can make all attacks (Lets assume caster level 3) that the spell allows through his weapon. So he can target 3 different creatures with this spell and deliver all 3 touches with his weapon.</p>
<p>But the wording in Spellstrike suggests that using your weapon to deliver the touch attack would limit him to one swing. (in fact the wording in general seems to completly lack elaboration with what to do with multi-touch spells.)</p>
<p>So, how would you guys rule this? </p>
<p>1) Does Chill touch actually grant CasterLevel amount of touch attacks in a round?
<br />
2) If so, Does spell strike allow the player to replace all these touches with weapon strikes, OR is the player limited to one weapon strike. OR can the player make one touch with a weapon, and then the rest as normal? (Which is what I suggested to my player, he wasn't happy about that.)</p>
<p>Also, I get this nagging suspicion that the touches allowed by the spell are limited by his Base Attack. However, this might be an artifact from my 3.5e days. Since I cannot find this rule at the moment in the Pathfinder Core rulebook. Because Chill Touch seems to be a pretty natch spell for a magus for a level 1 slot.</p>
