How much hp are those power points worth?
two each
on the down side though, can only exchange them once per round as it is an immediate action, so I can negate or reduce only one attack per round or give a +4 bonus on one save for one point but not both
That's kindof a lot, nice trick.
I built Cain to be as tanky as possible
the Elan race is a large part of how that is possible
And are you ever tanky! And the kind of tank I can't just ignore, either. Hat's off to you, sir. :)
Technically as per readied actions, after I take them it's my turn on the initiative again, so given my standard action is used up by the disarm, my move action is to f@+!ing bolt
And remember, his Chanel negative energy can only be used for healing or harming not both
Yes. I did not do both this time. If you disarm and bolt then you may ignore the second attack.
I have trouble imagining Maglin afraid of anything, and I definitely have a lot of trouble imagining him acting irrationally as a result of his fear. He's all about repressing emotion, which he's phenomenally good at. So I guess cause fear and related spells just peel back the veil a little bit and let what's inside come out in warped and twisted ways.
Also, keep the sword if you can.
Maglin had a pretty terrifying nightmare for him recently. It caused him to wake up in sweat. From this last post it read to me like Maglin was being taunted with some level of responsibility with his dead wife, with his magic having been involved.
Did Cain retain control over the weapon after the disarm?
He did not do so automatically, no. You have to preform the disarm with an unarmed strike to do that. The weapon was dropped in the skeleton's square.
That was my confusion.
So... Mr. Tank... Do you withdrawal, or take another AoO picking up the weapon, and possibly a 2nd leaving his square?
Also... I want the GMs d20, that s!@! isn't weighted right lol
Doing some housekeeping before we get to town.
Vuzi, did you want to keep the Auto-Broom or is that in the sell pile?
Vuzi, Cain, do you have any opinions on how we split gold? Whether we want to divide off some gold for general party expenses, or even just keep it in one big pile.
I'd like to keep the broom. Just for flavor.
I'm all for taking part of the loot and making a party expenses pot. Some of the games I'm in the party is treated as an additional character and gets a full share. Others just take a small percentage.
He did not do so automatically, no. You have to preform the disarm with an unarmed strike to do that. The weapon was dropped in the skeleton's square.
Would I have passed the check if the roll was 2 lower?
That's about what I was going for, Dalkk, he's talking to her. That's what I had the cause fear do, which I like quite a bit more than generic *magic makes me act out of character*. Like, if a person gets drunk, they're still them, it'll affect them in interesting ways. Mind altering magic seems pretty similar to me.
actually if the zombie can flank with me I can just say that that was an unarmed strike
She'd take an AOO, but it's doable.
it's worth it for me to be able to take the sword with me when I book it
Feels a little like changing an action after a roll, but that's not my call.
Simon seemed pro party fund
Maglin seemed to indicate he was ok with it
Vuzi seemed pro party fund
Dalkk is pro party fund
Cain hasn't said anything
I'm going to use the extra player rule and divide our loot by 6, reserving the extra player for party expenses.
This is not a dictatorial decision, but no one seems too enthusiastic in either direction. Please speak up with objections
No objection. We know we need a boat, and communal wands just makes sense.
There is no place for the zombie to flank without putting it in the web.
But Cain would still succeed with an unarmed strike.
I'll allow it. Merry Christmas. :)
Yeah, I like a party fund. We can pay for things like the boat and the wands and so forth.
Just in case, I want you to know, Cain, that I'm not trying to kill you, just provide for your ultra dramatic escape. If you end up at like 3 hp I'm not going to risk killing you with a cheap channel energy. That's just not sporting.
Cain lost 32 power points and 35 HP in that fight (plus the a cure spell or two)
So he probably looks like a budget punching bag at this point
A budget punching bag with a smug grin on it's face when it looks at the stolen sword
Cain took enough damage to kill him twice over and he's still up. Barely up, but up nonetheless.
Yup.
DR and the ability to convert PP to HP is a hell of a thing
The fight did show me that I am skewed towards defense against attacks that are physical in nature
Those channel energies didn't do much damage (compared to the sword anyway) but I didn't have much to resist them.
My more normal energy resistances are also lacking
Need to up saving throws and energy resistances
Hmm
Would you allow me to eventually have skeets enchanted as per a stone of good luck?
Edit
Wait
Just remembered I have stalwart
Those passed saves against the channels make me avoid damage completely, so that last Chanel didn't do anything to cain
Well we got beat up, but we made it out and also took his primary weapon. I'd say that's a success!
Now to actually get to the surface...
*grumblegrumblestalwartgrumble*
He operates more like a familiar than an ioun stone... I think I have to say no unless you want Skeets to be constantly lucky.
It's already a slotless item
Making skeets into the stone instead of a random pebble is just flavor text
That being said if you say no that's fine
Follow up question, since you say he works like a familiar does that mean he can take familiar archetypes?
Did Simon find a way out? Or are we going in blind?
I'm looking into various optimization options (because this is how I occupy my time yes)
False focus is a hell of a feat
I mean the base effects are decent
Pay 150 GP once for a holy symbol
Maybe a tattooed one to free up your hands and make it hard to disarm
This makes 6hd animate dead, continual flame, masterwork transformation, and a small host of other spells become free
But the really nice things are the sort of things you can do with alchemical power components and verizian idols
It's great
Also, if Cain does die I'm rolling up a summoner
Another tank or something more offense?
Simon and I both have tank back ups, mine being a healer tank and his a summoner tank. I think the defense heavy back up characters are in response to the challenges Choon has thrown before us.
Haven't decided
Kinda mulling around but there are a lot of feats that boost Summons
I do the same thing re: think about optimization. If you don't have it yet, the app Pathbuilder is pretty extensive and helps you tweak characters pretty easily. I've made some of my best npc villains using it.
Re: familiar Skeets - He operates like one. He is not one. ;)
Update coming soon.
Is It available for iPhone?
Ok so it's not a familiar and despite being a construct He can't be enchanted as a a slotless magic item
Poo
I guess I'll have to settle for construct mods and the superior psicrystal feat
Is It available for iPhone?
Can't confirm, but I believe it is. Has a neat export button to print to character sheet
So... Per RAW... With a Perception roll of 25 I can sense a burrowing creature beneath me. Being asleep increases the DC of a Perception check of 10. This means I'm very close to conceivably being able to detect creatures burrowing below ground underneath me in my sleep.
Can my Perception get so good that natural no threat earth bound creatures are so noisy that I can't sleep at night?
If you want me to rule that way I could easily do so. ;)
Technically as they still have concealment so they can use stealth, but that rule seems to put the minimum possible stealth check for them at 25 unless you have tremmorsense which negates concealment for things touching/under the ground
I think it's fair to say we can bot healing with wands. That is, whenever there's a spare moment, you can roll the healing yourself and assume someone will administer it to you.
I didn't pay for the wands and don't know how many charges are available/that people are willing to use
Wand charges are cheaper than potions though (and prepared spells are yet cheeper) so I would prefer I.T be from a wand or prepared slot
I think it goes back to the invisibility conversation. The rule states 25 is for sensing them, but I assume that this isn't usable to pinpoint. Knowing an invisible creature is in the same room as you and knowing where to swing your sword are two entirely different things.
Up to you Choon, it just made me laugh. Presumably over the course of 8 hours there would be as many 20s taken as 10s. Waking up throughout the night because the grubs won't stop making such a ruckus sounds pretty Dalkk like.
Re: Healing, Vuzi said she would cast CMW and CLW once Cain made it to the top.
Also, I need to seriously research what it'd take to turn Dungie into a mount.
Are you sure you want to give Magsy your aid another? I rolled well enough that my total would be higher even if he takes that aid
Psicraft vs Spellcraft. Im very new to Psionics but I didn't think they were interchangeable? If they are, no reason I can't do both.
My guess is Vuzi has the advantage as its likely divine, not arcane.
I can give it a look. I cast CMW on Cain about 20 minutes ago. 17 HP. Need more?
Guidance would help. Vuzi can do Guidance and give a +1 to both Cain's Psicraft and Maglin's Spellcraft. Seriously though if they can be used interchangeably please someone let me know.
Also unless there are new obstacles, I think the full party would be content to fast forwarding to the entrance. Right now the only voiced threat that we've been concerned about is the gargoyles.
Vuzi did you have any pressing purchases?
We are operating with something called "Transparency", meaning psy counts as standard magic for all skill, dispel, penetration, detection, and the like.
Ok, fast forwarding it is.
