Mr. Swagger's page

I was a player. Flesh to Stone says the spell restores the victim to life, and it removes the condition, but with a fort save.

The blood of the basilisk only turns the stone to flesh. It says nothing about restoring them to life, so either way the PC would have been dead.

Gaze (Ex) Turn to stone permanently (as flesh to stone), range 30 feet, Fortitude DC 15 negates. A creature petrified in this matter that is then coated (not just splashed) with fresh basilisk blood (taken from a basilisk no more than 1 hour dead) is instantly restored to flesh. A single basilisk contains enough blood to coat 1d3 Medium creatures in this manner. The save DC is Constitution-based.

This spell restores a petrified creature to its normal state, restoring life and goods.

I thought about going after the gears for the shield, but none of us have disable device, that I know of anyway. With the country being LG finding a rogue willing to help might be difficult, but we could gather information on any current adventurers in town to see if there are any that are more about money, than doing the right thing.

I don't like the disguise ideas for reasons already mentioned.

Dismissing the dwarves could work if we could find out who is capable of such an authorization. I guess we could do a gather information on that. I would word it as "Who signs offs/decides on work done to the keep?" or something similar.

Finding out about the disgraced priest is also a good idea. We still have a decent amount of time to make this work.

Down Comforter has a good point. The adamantine weapon is more likely to be useful than the scarab. Finding such a weapon is the issue however. Hopefully we dont have to get it made. That would take forever.

theres an error on the advanced naval combat page under the ramming section of attacks. The paragraph ends mid sentence and then resumes mid sentence in the middle of a paragraph a little later on.

If fixed that page.

Thanks Khantin. I will look at it.

Since Gauss said we could make up our own sign language. I was going to put a rank in linguistics at this level. Is everyone else willing to do it?

It seems someone already fixed it. :)

Thanks. I did not see this post. I will check it out.

I like this idea.

20pfsrd does: http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/potions

I do have the authority to edit d20pfsrd so I can fix most errors. I should be around more so feel free to let me know about them.

The Greater Barghest has "mass enlarge" as an SLA. Mass enlarge is not a spell.

I sent the character sheet and token..

DC what is everyone else playing. If we have no true front liner I vote for the barbarian, but if we do have one I will most likely vote for the cleric. A well played cleric can be versatile..

To everyone:

Please email me the link, or the character sheet, to your final version. Also include the token you plan on using for that character. If your token is on Roll20 the token name should be sufficient for me to find it for you. Finally, include your storyline.

I want this all in one email please. This way I have it in one ready source.

Assuming no objections we will begin next Wednesday, December 5th.

I have assigned to each of you a Character profile. Please write whatever you wish there. If you have a link to your PDF please place the link in that profile. If you wish, I will host your character sheet on my mediafire account and I will link it for you.

Crunch time folks, lets finish getting ready.

- Gauss

I had forgotten about the icon/token...I will go ahead and look for that now...

I mean I will not be in melee if I can help it. :)

Sorry about the delay..I was having technical issues.

Here is the crunch. I will think of a name later.

I will be using the form fillable character sheets from my end. I will save it to my mediafire account, and post a link here.

PS:The character will have a name soon.

No I will not be in melee DC, if I can help it. Due to the hexes I will be in charging distance though, but hopefully I can make keep charges from taking place. I don't intend to ever be in melee with a low BAB character.

I still have not heard back if people are ok playing December 26th and January 2nd. If you are not and we cannot find an alternate day to play those weeks I may wait until after new years to start the game.

- Gauss

I can also do the 2nd, but not the 26th...As of now any other day after the 26th should be ok.

I should also be posting my witch tomorrow, the mechanics anyway. The backstory should come a day or two later.

What's the link to join your campaign? I haven't been able to find it =(

link to the game

I just logged in.

I think I can mitigate it. :)

The mask is not required to wear so I won't wear it at first. It will come into play later on though, when I can make use craft wondrous item to make it work like a hat of disguise.

I knew about the RAW/RAI, I just wanted to make sure we are on the same page (it is socially better to ask a question than to assume you did not know).

As long as you understand the problems, yes, you can take an Orc Scarred Witch Doctor. I may assign a circumstance penalty to disguise due to the scarification. It will depend on the situation.

- Gauss

I think there is a half-orc racial trait that has scars so them(others) not knowing if I am a half-orc or orc would be ok*. He will have average(at worst) mental stats so speaking in a civilized manner won't be an issue.

*When I am disguised, which would be as much as possible.

Sacred Tattoo: Many half-orcs decorate themselves with tattoos, piercings, and ritual scarification, which they consider sacred markings. Half-orcs with this racial trait gain a +1 luck bonus on all saving throws. This racial trait replaces orc ferocity.

RAW and RAI the archetype is only available to orcs not half-orcs. If you would allow it with a half-orc I would accept that. I know I will have to take disguise as a skill if I use an orc. I am willing to do so. I wanted to make sure the idea was ok before I made plans to work around the issue though.

I will do that later tonight, and if I think I can pull it off I will stay with the witch doctor, otherwise I will most likely just use a normal witch.

I am looking at the Scarred Witch Doctor(orc-racial archetype) as my first choice.

Let me know what you think.

The base class is the witch. :)

Let me know what you think.

Unless there is a developer comment or FAQ I am unaware of you can only select the advanced talent 'Feat' once. Archaeologists follow all rules that rogues follow when it comes to Talents and Advanced Talents except for how often they get them.

- Gauss

I will ask. It has always been assumed by many to mean it can replace a rogue talent, but the way it is written makes it look like "feat" is a talent. Hopefully SKR checks in.

Edit:After checking around it seems it is a talent...

Now I have to decide which arcane caster I want. I will get back to you when I decide.

I am thinking of a bard archaeologist.

They get rogue talents to eventually include the advanced rogue talents. The rogue's rules say you can trade the advanced ones for a feat.
Depending on how you read it, that may or may not apply to the bard.

I need your interpretation Gauss.

I am also thinking of a sorcerer, witch, or wizard.

What is everyone playing?

If anyone here uses Hero Lab, I'm almost done creating a data set with all the crime traits.

I normally just do it manually, but if you have a data set I will take that also. :)

Just got the inbox message.

Any time after 830 PM or later works for me*. If any other time is chosen my availability will be random.

*The day does not matter.

I did not get a PM.

Skype is fine with me for a roll20 group; I've got it and have used it previously.

Looks like several people want to do a PBP for various reasons; I'm going to post what I believe is the list of PBP players and the Roll20 players:
PBP
Sinblade06
.....Half-Elf Rogue 4
davidvs
.....Any pregen (lvl 4)
Daron Woodson/Abandoned Arts
.....Any pregen (lvl 4)
-

Roll20 (w/ Skype)
Nelith (assuming he is here since he asked about Skype)
.....No character yet
Mr. Swagger (EST after ~3PM = Noon PST = ~7-8PM GMT)
.....Human Paladin 4
Sir Egon D'Clausanne (GMT 6am-11 pm = 10pm-3pm PST = 1am-6pm EST)
.....Cleric 4 (based on pregen/use pregen)
-

Unknown
Tirq: PM'ed me once, not sure if he's still around/available/interested

I'll open this to the following for the people above:
Option (1)
Play 2 separate groups, one in PBP, one in Roll20, each group gets one additional pre-gen that will be controlled by the GM (like in PFS).

Option (2)
Everyone plays PBP as one big group (up to 6 players depending on who is still following this thread & interested).

Either way, please choose which pregen you want (for the players who want to run a pregen) and toss in your vote regarding the 2 options. I would suggest for those of you creating characters: don't spend a ton of time on background unless you plan to use the character elsewhere--remember this is a short-ish one-off adventure.

My after 3pm will vary from day to day. The latest I get home is 830pm, which is 530 pm PST I am assuming. Some days I am off by 1pm however which is 10am PST. Yeah I have a crazy schedule.

I did not read the entire thread so I do apologize if this has been mentioned by someone else.

Under my "Concerro" account, which is the main account if I click on the campaign tab I get the following:
"Sorry, there was a problem handling your request. The system administrator has been notified.

Please contact webmaster@paizo.com if you continue to have difficulties."

If I go to one of my aliases which only has the campaigns I am running games for then the campaign tabs for that alias show up.

I just found it strange that my main account is the one where the tab was not working.

Character in progress ETA-->1 hour. Well it is only the mechanics for now. The background story will come later.

I am behind also, but I did decide on a paladin.

I will try to get it done today. I do have a few PbP issues to resolve. I will also tell you, as someone that is using roll20, that it is using a voice system such as Skype might be the better choice.

Feel free to PM me.

I have GM'd a magus at the lower(below 9) levels and spell recall was nice to have.

From a usefulness point of of view the spellblade seems to be in last place.

I would either go with the base magus or the spire defender, but I don't know how you view your character.

With that said you should go with whatever fits your concept. :)

So now we have rogue, wizard, and a cleric. I am looking at a dwarf fighter or a magus(never played one). I expect to have a character complete tonight or tomorrow.

Sir Egon what were you before? I only chose the oracle because we had no divine caster.

You can use invisible castle to roll dice, and provide link to the site

People have that used maptools have said it had a high learning curve. I have heard it more than once.

I don't get the "you don't have to learn anything more than with any other VTT you're new to" comment because not all VTT's have the same learning curve.

I will try an oracle.

Can I borrow the banhammer?

That is true, but it won't happen overnight. Programming takes time. Even if they delayed the start of Gamespace you would still be adding to maptool or fantasy grounds or some other VTT so the position would be the same.

What I would do if GameSpace is not too difficult to use is to start slowing moving things over. Another idea is to put any new NPC into both VTT's. That will cause the migration, assuming you wish to do so, to be less painful.

Ross what types of questions do you prefer to be asked? IIRC you have done work as an RPG designer/developer. Are you better at writing stories or rules?

I agree that roll20 does a lot less than maptools and other VTT's, but much like Gamespace it is relatively new. I figure in 2 or 3 years roll20 will be a lot better assuming it is still around. Personally I think not making sure it worked with IE and Firefox as well as it does with Chrome out of the box was not a good idea, but I think they will get past it.

Is there a link to the kickstarter?

Many people don't care for trying to learn Maptools. Now if Gamespace is as easy to learn as Roll20(browser based), and it can overcome the minor issues that roll20 has that I am all in. The only reason I am not giving roll20 my money is that it doesn't play well with Firefox or Linux.

I am dropping knowledge(religion). My character should be up in about 10 minutes

I am going ranger, then two levels of archaeologist bard. Then I plan to go ranger all the way. I will also have ranks in disable device and perception.

As for skills I am looking at
acrobatic
disable device
knowledge nature
knowledge religion
knowledge planes
perception
sense motive
spellcraft
stealth

climb, swim, linguistics will share the last skill rank

I might drop acrobatics also, but I don't know what I will replace it with.

It is hard picking players when a lot of people have interesting backgrounds.

I will have my character up today. The avatar selection is what will take the longest.

This is my 3rd or 4th time trying to get into a WotW game. :)

Sorry GM Odea I missed your post. My timezone is EST.

3pm will work on my days off and on days like this when I go to work in the morning.

I don't know what character am running yet, but I will have an answer within 24 hours.

I see this is still going. I had to rush the last 2 paragraphs due to work so I will rewrite it.
