looking for sub tier dot

Not sure what faction dot

Cheliax, Taldor, and Grand Lodge are the optimal choices for this one.

Just checking to see what else rolls in subtier-wise.

If it functions at low, I think it might be time for "Tim (The Taldan Man) Davoker & Wadsworth Time."

Whom you may want to make a Swashbuckler, strangely enough; They use their Cha instead of Int form qualifying for Combat Expertise...

Well it looks like you have a a 2, a 4, and a 5. So probably sub-tier 4-5.

Should probably play my ninja if we are high tier.

I have Flinders at 5 or I do have a Taldor faction Lvl 4. He's L2 Sorc / L2 Life Oracle.

With Sethious' ninja, you are at APL 3.75 which I think rounds up to 4? Someone feel free to correct me.

At that point, I believe it goes down to how many players we have, but I'm not sure. The decision-less rules I've been both confused about and enjoying, simply because I hate making decisions. If the ninja is dropped for the level 2 "not-a-wizard", then we drop a little farther, too.

The number of players only matters if the APL is between tiers, I think.

Well 3.75 is including your soundstriker. So I think you're a bare minimum tier 4-5 then.

I think I'll keep Flinders. My other is still a serious candidate for retraining.

I couldn't imagine playing a sorc-oracle, unless it was some hideous Orc Sorcerer Dip / Flame oracle gm credit baby Fireball cannon. All those lost spell levels...

But, yeah, Sen is my highest 1-5 character (since Xathalial is pending a Fangwood Keep upgrade to 6th.) Flinders' lock does pretty much set us at 4-5. That's pretty butts, but I guess if I really like it, I'll GM star replay it with that theorycraft Rogue/Sandman Bard/Lion Blade (who is pretty much my PFS Slayer) that I've been thinking about for the longest time.

I'll get Traitor's Lodge applied to Sen once it's dead set for high tier. Did anyone message Sior?

Well now, if you want to shoot for low tier, I do have a 2xp Grand Lodge Barbarian and a 1 xp blob. I'd be happy to bring one of those.

Myeh, once I realized that Dragons Demand chronicles work like they do, my plans for that Lions Blade or Slayer went through the window harder than a brick fired out of a cannon in a habitable part of a low gravity planet. Play what you want; Sen will soon be in the territory of being deficient at subterfuge too, given Fighter Skill Ranks, so I should probably enjoy that while I can. Play what you want, Ser Tektite and others.

Side note: While I DO have a classic boon Tiefling, he's basically a waste of XP at this point, so I really don't count him for anything unless I really, REALLY don't have anything in tier for live games.

Could also play Xen again, for some healing at high tier, and consistency.

Just took a couple minutes to page through People of the Sands, looks pretty cool.

Like what?

Like what?

Reading a little more in depth, it's ok, not bad. It updates the Living Monolith PrC. (I think, didn't check the old one to make sure.) Introduced another PrC, Thuvian Alchemist. New Oracle archetype, a few spells, traits, and equipment,

Ooo, really? I played my Living Monolith tonight. It was written for 3.5 but it's one of my favorite PrCs. Ka Stone let's you enlarge three times a day as a swift; it's great. I wonder if they'll make PCs update or just grandfather the 3.5 version out.

I've got that one coming in some time this week; can't wait to look at it.

Probably make people update it. Would be odd with PCs having different versions of the class. I'm interested in the premise of a new PRC.

Um...I just realized I screwed up. Flinders leveled to six after the Traitor's Lodge chronicle. Hmmm, so, I have Jarlgur or my Sczarni Johender. Then like I said, I have a 2xp Barb and a 1xp nothing.

I don't know if that'll change Burglar's or Sethious' choices.

We have a lot more options without the level 5 lock in. All combinations assume Henry at 4.

The highest math puts us at a 3.75 AVG, with the soracle, and the two ninja/fighters. Solid round up high tier.

Any combination involving any mentioned tektite characters plus me and Seth's level 2s caps out at 3, and low player count pushes us to low (I'm pretty sure.)

That said, I kinda do want to play some Taldans in this, given Taldor's lack of representation (and the thought of putting Tim in a library is amusing.) If Seth wants to play the ninja pair, I will for not-dragging-the-party bits, but it seemed like above that he was only playing the ninja on the assumption of high tier. Could be wrong, as always.

I just made my 1xp an Investigator.

Yeeeaaaahhhhh investigators! Probably great for this mission too.

So, low tier then?

I can't decide if I want Niko to be Taldor or not. I sort of think of his place in the group, being Grand Lodge, analogous to being a UN observer. Valsin sent him along to keep an eye on all these Taldans.

So, low tier then?

That's my understanding.

Bringing Tim out for this on Burgler's request. Not sure how you handle improvised weapons Red, but he two-hands a giant stone "spellbook". Whatever you want to assign the damage die to let me know. The last two DMs ruled 2d6 and 1d10, so I ask at each table and run it how they want to.

Reading the gameplay into.....you want me to play Tim in a scenario with subtlety and not break things? lol

So a giant piece of stone that requires 2 hands? 1d10 sounds fair to me.

On a side note, this should be good... heh.

Yeah, I didn't read the intro till I picked a character. Just to be fair and all...

I suggested Tim's existence, having known the blurb to what the scenario months ago. For maximum amusement.

Though I'm legitimate curious (ooc) about how Musello wasn't hanged after that whole... Dalsine affair. *buh dum tish*

... Still actually curious, references aside.

I'm sure they let bygones be bygones. It was just a little treason.

Fun (probably a) fact: In PFS, the lowest level one can be to enter the Lion Blade prestige class is 7th level, either by being a rogue 3/Bard 3 or (my favourite) a bard (sandman) 5/Rogue 1. Because Acute Senses.

Do we want to try to find the other two clues in here before moving on? We have some of those others to aids us.

I say let's check out the rooms beyond first. We can hit this again on the way back if we have time; he said the more important books lie beyond.

Just give me a 'We do [redacted]' and I'll move it along.

Sorry if it feels like I'm metagaming or controlling the game too much. I just don't want you guys to miss things or screw things up simply because of the PbP format. Because while I love this scenario and we had a blast in real life, sometimes these things are much harder to do over PbP. When I did it in real life, my players were taking notes like crazy and they figured this out in two minutes because their notes were right in front of them and they had just heard it an hour ago. But over PbP where some of this stuff happened two weeks ago, it's easy to forget things or not make connections.

So (players or GM) just tell me to shut up if I start giving too much away.

Ha, no worries on my end; I'm running on "Oh God Why All This Snow" sleep levels. This morning, my alarm going of the first time and the time after the snooze button literally blended into one string of ringing.

Any thoughts on the order of the lions? There was the statue when we first came in. On the book there was listed-“Innovation, respect, knowledge, courage, integrity, honor, excellence, glory”

VS-history, perseverance, loyalty, then cunning.

Not sure if I see a link.

Hey everyone! I'm about to head on the road within the hour! I should be able to watch the game via my phone but I'm not sure if I'll have much free time to update except perhaps right before I go to bed. I will be back to my regular posting late Saturday night or Sunday morning. Feel free to bot me if needed; Henry's attacks and skills are already worked out (and in dice format too!) in his profile. Thanks!

Well it looks like you are on the right track so we could probably finish by the weekend. Which is good for me so I can better focus on Siege.

Re: another game

I've actually only got two PFS characters in game right now (and they should be done in a couple weeks, hopefully) so I can certainly do another. I don't have anyone at the 6-7 tier and probably wouldn't want to play up for Bonekeep. But I've got a smattering in the 3-5 range and plenty of others in the 1-5 for the new Destiny one.

Poop.

Bonekeep is still held to the five-hour time limit.

Just posed the question of PbPs
