I can no longer keep up with my PBP games due to RL issues. I am sorry, but I am going to need to bow out. Thank you for the opportunity to play. I wish you all well.

Silva moves over to the hole. Burn him out Egan!
Silva dismounts and draws his sword.
Wise words Arielle. Maybe we can track them in the morning.
Silva stands and acknowledges Arielle. Then they are no better than bandits. Let them come and die. Silva unsheathes his sword.
Silva sits up peering in the direction of Arielle's words. He remains silent as he watches the ordeal unfold. Hopefully it is just more fey. The little ones sure are curious. Silva takes a bite from the venison Anza cooked for the that night. After a few moments, Offer them some food.
I vote kobolds.
Silva dips his bread in the mead and agrees with Andrej. I for one would be happy to stay for a week. He slaps Oleg on the back. Finest homemade bread in all the land. You are a lucky man Oleg!
I do not plan on optimizing any more. I am happy with my build (18 AC-2hander/20 AC-Switch to shield). I want to be the same level as the others. And while I think I have a good build, I would not consider it optimized at all. Path of vengeance, dip in lore oracle or life oracle etc. I avoided a lot of things intentionally!

Funny you brought that up Andrej. I have been looking at oath of vengeance. I thought about adding it, but didn't because our GM mentioned he was glad we were not super optimized. The extra smites would be nice. I guess I'll see what he thinks. DM Ego? And Ty for the advice Andrej!
Silva dismounts and walks his horse to the stable. Easy boy. You have done well. It is time for rest. He makes sure his horse has plenty of water and food. After stabling his horse, he kneels in the stable and says a prayer to Erastil thanking him for safe travel. ...May I be worthy of your name stag father and may I protect those which you have placed under my care... After a few moments of meditation, he heads into the common yard waving to Oleg. How is the trading friend? He continues into the kitchen. Good day Lady Svetlana! It smells wonderful as usual. He reaches over and messes Todd's hair up. And how has this young man faired? Has he kept his word and been helpful? Upon seeing the bow rewarded to the group: What a fine bow! Maksim, Erastil's favor has fallen on you this day. This shall make a fine weapon for you in our battle against evil!
I think its fair to say everybody gets one, as long as you use them before level 4. I'll be a hard ass after level five unless you make a terrible selection, and even then i'll make you work for it. I used mine to add fey foundling as a L1 feat then picking up furious focus at L3 so as not to change much. It goes very well with my name and background. Throw in my relationship with Perlivash and Egan and it goes even better.
Maksim could certainly use that nice longbow, but he's not the only one. The bow and the animal bane arrows are perfect for your character! It will help a lot with your ability to hit and do damage! Thanks again for bearing with me on the discussion of your build. Hopefully, you heard the "I really enjoy your RPing and I am glad we are in a pbp game together" as much as the other stuff. I think Silva and Maksim will have much in common winning the land for Erastil and providing a community for all types of non evil creatures! BTW, I am willing to chip in my portion for the CLW wand.
Why did you take the good domain to allow the +1 touch instead of the feather domain (animal companion) if you were worried about action economy? You won't be using it as an archer will you?
Charisma helps channels and selective channeling as well a face skills. Str and dex only help archery. More points in wisdom help spells that give a save. I don't understand what you mean you 10 points in str and dex didn't hurt your cleric build.
Band aides are less needed when HPs get above 20. When a companion's HP are one Crit away from death, I would think a cleric with the community domain would think healing was important. Tark was talking about full healing builds ie life oracle. A timely heal is a TPK saver. You spent 10 of you 15 point buy (66%) on archery.
Even Tark's "archer cleric" is a support cleric with some archery. Archery gives you something to do levels 1-4. After that, clerics are awesome full casters! You will not need archery soon. Clerics do not make great scouts because when you get caught out front you are screwed. No stealth and no ability to defend if confronted face to face first. You really seem like you are looking for the ranger role instead of cleric. I am not suggesting you change. I am just making an assessment of your conversation. Scouting, archery etc. in a wilderness environment. Cleric's are super support characters. They make everyone better. We had a bard shoot a rapid shot bow last night and do 21 damage round 1. Round 2 he casted hasted. Our "extra" attacks from haste added up to 235 damage. I count that as his damage. 235 versus 21. Playing support classes is just a different train of thought. Maksim-You have been gracious through this whole conversation. I respect you a lot and I am glad we are playing pbp together ;) BTW, I know Egan well. His oracle will be out shining us all soon ;) He is a sneaky character builder.
Play what you would like. My point was we need support. Egan was created for damage and he is being forced to buff and heal so we survive.
It is too MAD for a 15 point buy. IMO.
+4 is tolerable at 2nd level, but we will leave him quickly as our BABs progress. Throw in Rapid shot (-2) and deadly aim (-1), which are necessary for progressive dmg, and he falls (-3) further behind us. We can also flank for another +2 (so net -5 behind us before his diminishing BAB). We do not have a bard to buff him. I think it will be very unfun. I can run the numbers if needed, but he will have difficulty hitting 75-80 percent of the time. I am +6 (+8 with flank) so I am already +2 on him. So he will be -7/-9 after grabbing his necessary archery feats even BEFORE his diminishing BAB.
Silva lays hands on himself.
If silva goes to cleric, maksim could be a great ranger focused on archery who worships erastil and gets a full BAB. I second this :)
This wound may be worse than I previously thought! Silva leans against a tree and starts getting light headed.
Here is a support cleric build I offer for Silva. He would heal, support, and provide Andrej with a flanking partner. He has enough HP and AC to stand next to Andrej in battle. Opinions? DM Ego would you be OK with this if it allowed Maksim to enjoy his character more? If I am off base, I am sorry. I feel we need a support character for this group and everyone should play what they enjoy. Having characters we all enjoy may increase the posting rate.

Silva pats Arielle on her shoulder. I have a small wound here on my side. You did a great job finishing off the boar little one!
Silva severs the head from the beast. This will make a good treasure for Oleg!
Maksim you have been a great role player. I just think archer/cleric is extremely sub optimal. It will only get worse as you advance in levels. Clerics do not get enough feats to keep up and you will have to ignore staple cleric feats. You will also not be an effective cleric taking archer feats. You have a low BAB progression and are only +4 to hit. Even with average rolls, you will miss probably 75% of the time. Egan was built as a fire oracle to help with damage. In my opinion, clerics are only good for support which is extremely useful to a party. If you want to be even a decent archer, I would dump the cleric idea. It feels like you want to be an archer, but felt you had to be a cleric. You can be religious without being a cleric. Your character's personality is awesome! If you want to go archer, I will rebuild a support cleric. Arielle and Egan will start coming into their own soon damage wise and Andrej can tank. Please do not take this wrong. I enjoy playing with you all, but we need traditional roles met. BTW, I charged in to keep anyone from getting charged. I figured that would look ugly if he hit a caster!
I wasn't saying he had to heal. I was saying he could see you were in need of healing. He said he was unaware because of Egans language issues. With that said, letting a front line character sit at low hit points when a creature with two attacks is about to strike is dangerous. I am trying to avoid a character death. Heck if he wants to be an archer, I'll reroll cleric or oracle of life and he can roll a ranged fighter, ranger, or zen archer. In my opinion, ranged cleric does not work.
Maksim-If you can see to shoot the pig, you should see Andrej spewing blood from a main artery. Right? You shouldn't need Egan's words.
Attack with Flank:
Heal Andrej!
Attack with Flank:
Silva sees the boar take a devastating attack on his friend and swings again at the beast.
Arielle and I have a campaign where we post twenty times a day often. So we should be good.
Silva waits for his companion to flank the creature and unleashes a lethal blow.
Seeing Adrej move to -D,-19; Silva 5 foot steps to -E,-21 hoping to set up a flank next round. He then unleashes his fury attempting to smite the large pig (It probably isn't evil, but I will try anyway)
Silva double moves to -D, -20
