Woohooo! Aubrey updated our thread first! We're his favorite!
How are we going to handle Otto? This is actually a pretty big scene for him because he's been all about stopping Eberronegedon here.
No problem GM, I'm sort of hosed at work anyway.
i'm caught up in the Pokemon Go craze, though not so much as others. haha
I got really hyped with Pokemon Go... but I don't like it.
So here I am, playing my old Pokemon Leafgreen.
"Dragon, do you know Professor Targryn?" Nalverren asks.
Good ideas. I was thinking about UMD also. Rehil's modifier is only 4, but maybe he could throw in an 'aid another'.
Disable device would be great. Your modifiers are high and Rehil's a lock to aid. Somehow I don't think that's going to fly with our dear, dear DM.
Otto brings knowledge, religion and Spellcraft. He can channel positive energy, but it's likely to be an eyedropper against a firehose of negativity.

Yeah, i was just thinking either Activate Blindly (DC 25) which should take care of any command phrases, or some of the Emulate X features of the skill.
I figured some of the other stuff might work since it is kind of a trap, say a pass phrase or something bad happens.
I forget if we are using Eberron-rules Action Points or Pathfinder-rules Hero Points, but i suppose their use in this situation is largely GM-rule territory anyway.
Sorry all, been savaged at work this week. Should calm down tomorrow.
If i can get this thing turned off and free the dragon, we might be able to collect the shards and analyze them. Maybe i could use them to make items for us that would help us not be such... paupers.
Last minute heads up. My wife and I are on vacation until Monday. Don't expect posts from me until Tuesday. Bot my character as necessary so as not to hold up the game.
My apologies for the last-minute notice.

Hi guys, a player in one of my other games is looking to run this. Please PM him if you are interested.
I was so tempted to have Cole just starting banging on that thing outside. I didn't want to get the game award for "most futile death", though. :/
As much as i'd like to see crusty ol' Jareen DM some stuff, PFS gives me hives
It will just hurt for a second while you sign up. Then you can pretend it's not PFS.
I'm on to you, Aubrey! This whole hut thing is just part of your mad fantasy to do a callbox full of clowns in PF.
not PFS? as in, i am not restricted to the silliness whereby they make a game and then specifically prohibit things they have published from being used?

You can play in two modes, so I believe - one is basically Core Rulebook only, the other is most published Paizo stuff (but with some restrictions nevertheless). According to Nevynxxx this will count as proper organised play, but we haven't discussed anything about how we will play. I'd prefer the freer version, personally.
switching over here from gameplay ooc.
it may not be 100% planar merging, but there is a hefty precedent for planes becoming coterminous. i mean, look at Sharn, a manifest zone for the plane of air. a huge portion of the city floats due to the influence of air coupled with some magical tinkerings. that is mithal-level magic (to use Forgotten Realms terms) but done by decidedly non-epic spellcasters with the help of the magic bleeding in from the plane of air.
Frostfell, the Boneyard, possibly the Mournland, the Gloaming, parts of the Shadow Marches, potentially parts of Aerenal, etc.
All planes have minor zones somewhere in Eberron (except Dal Quor). Some planes have major zones, and sometimes the minor zones can become major and vice versa.
Aubrey wouldn't do that. Although if some of us continue standing outside the hut, he's perfectly capable of metaphysically consuming those stragglers without even leaving crumbs on his waistcoat.
My money is on this cataclysm is what precipitates Tal'Va'Nocht to our world or timeline and possibly triggers mythic consequences.
I was kind of thinking along the lines of therealthom's idea here. I guess we'll see, but I felt like standing out while our countdown was on 4 was just ... ill-advised.
I guess we'll find out. :)

And Dal Quor doesn't because the giants cataclysmically cut off all contact when the Quori were invading.

Yeah, but I have no trouble working around it. All my PFS PCs (all 2 of them) are straight Core because I haven't purchased the later books. I still have a good time.
~checks AP total.~ WHEW!
Dang. :/
:) Yeah, I'm assuming any mythic would be from this, and I hope I'm introduced shortly. :)
Congratulations, compadres! You've gone Mythic. Please add a level of Mythicness to your characters. A bit of discussion here would be good - mainly as I'm interested in what you are going to do, what options you are taking, and so on.
Which mythic sourcebooks are allowed? More specifically, are the Mythic Heroes Handbook and the other mythic mania hardcovers allowed? Which mythic paths are allowed?
Not seeing how anything other than Heirophant works for a healer type on Mythic, at least not and stay true to form.
So probably Heirophant.
Inspired Spell
Feat : Weapon Finesse (Mythic)
Path Ability : Sustained by Faith (No need to eat, drink, or sleep).
Boom! Mythic!
Path: Guardian
Feat: Mythic Power Attack
Guardian’s Call: Sudden Block
Path Ability: Fast Healing
I’m slightly torn on the Path Ability. Retributive Reach could be really nice in terms of helping control tight spaces in a fight and defend the group. But Fast Healing helps meet the immediate need of the difficulties we’ve had keeping Cole in HP’s without burning through group resources.
Down the line, I’m inclined to Multi-Path Champion to pick up abilities to boost his Rage and offense.
Nalverren, are you going trickster? If so which flavor? Can we stand two in the group? I am torn. I was thinking about taking maybe one more level of rogue before jumping ship for ranger. So I could try one of the mythic whack-a-mole roles.
.... But Fast Healing helps meet the immediate need of the difficulties we’ve had keeping Cole in HP’s without burning through group resources.
....
Healing Cole wouldn't be so much a problem if you just hung back and let Vaard, Ashshar, Rehil, or Skelly take those hits for you. :-p
BC -- thanks for any tips. Mythic is a whole new game for me. Never played it before.
@Cole: If you are mainly looking just to handle the healing aspect with the fast healing, might wanna look at "Recuperation" that you gain automaticly at 3rd tier.(wich might very well be long time from now, but figured to draw attention so you can make informed decision.)
Yah. I was thinking of in-combat or mid-day healing. Recuperation is definitely helpful, but with the way that Mythic opponents (or opponents cranked up to create challenges for Mythic heroes) can create damage, I’m more concerned with getting Cole back up to full in situations where we can’t just stop and rest.
Healing Cole wouldn't be so much a problem if you just hung back and let Vaard, Ashshar, Rehil, or Skelly take those hits for you. :-p
Ha. Somehow i don’t think that’d be true to Cole’s character.
I was initially going into Champion for extra melee and ranged goodness, but you all have caught my atention.
What are the sources of Mythic outside of "core" just so I can reconsider my options?
I'm also considering swapping Mythic Power Attack for picking up an extra Path Ability: Legendary Item. And go ahead and bring Portforged's crystal to life.
@ Aubrey: if I go that route, would you be okay saying the crystal becomes fused with Poomah's hammer, and that those things combined now make his Legendary item?
Extra Path Ability requires Mythic Tier 3, otherwise I'd have gotten that as well.
Dang.
I guess I'll be activating Pocket-Portforged later, then. :/
As for Nalverren, i had another idea. Mythic Genius (if i remember correctly, though i'm away from books). But that would require DM approval (i'll get you a link to source or copy abilities, GM, once i get home).
If that doesnt work, i guess trickster. Nothing goes well with artificer unless the mage path has stuff about activating magic items, since i dont actually cast spells. If i go trickster, i dont know what flavors you speak of. I'm not actually a huge fan of mythic so i havent spent much time with it though i have played and do play in a handful of mythic games.
Marshal might be better.
Some serious buff abilities.
Either way, I'd suggest you get the universal path ability of Display of Charisma (Su) : As a free action, you can expend one use of mythic power to attempt a feat of Charisma, gaining a +20 circumstance bonus on one Charisma-based skill check or Charisma ability check.
Basically a guaranteed 'I activate this magic item no matter what' ability.
Vaard's got a buffing riff going with his PC already. He might already be looking at Marshal.
Actually I've had a rethink - if you want something that is not in the "core" Mythic book, let me know and I will decide on a case-by-case basis. The Mythic rules are not the most balanced at the best of times, so I suspect that balance isn't really the be-all-and-end-all here.
Mythic balance gets considerably better if you use the alternate/revised rules in chapter six of the Mythic Hero's handbook (you can also get just the first section of chapter six as a cheaper PDF (EDIT: here), though its missing a lot of the other important tweaks from the full chapter six of the MHH, like mythic skills and alternate ways of advancing).
Part of the issue was the lack of extensive playtesting of the mythic rules before Mythic Adventures was published. With the Mythic Mania books, they had an additional two years to work out the issues.The other thing to keep in mind is that the authors of the mythic rules believed that they were not feature-complete at the time MA was published, and a big part of the mythic mania KS project was filling the major gaps the authors saw in the previous book. The end result is that Mythic Adventures is a lot like an early alpha version of a piece of software, while the Mythic Heroes Handbook (and the accompanying mythic spell compendium and mythic monster manual) are more like the "real" core mythic rules.
Unfortunately, a drawback of pbps is that it is much harder to share rulebooks. In a face-to-face game, I would just share my copies of the mythic mania books with everyone in the group. That isn't a possibility in online games.
As for Nalverren, i had another idea. Mythic Genius (if i remember correctly, though i'm away from books).
Do you mean this one? I can recommend that product. I don't think the rules are available for free on any website right now, though (all the rules in it are OGC, but no one has taken the time to add it to d20pfsrd.com).
I was considering Stranger for Vaard, but that has the same issue.
Anyhow, for Vaard, I've been considering going either Marshal, Stranger, or Champion. As therealthom predicted, I was leaning towards Marshal. (The Stranger might be out anyways, since Aubrey might not have the book. Even if he did, though, I think Marshal is still a better fit for Vaard overall). I am leaning towards Advance as his Marshal Order. I'll probably be able to get most of my character sheet updated tomorrow and Friday.
Also, there's no reason Nalverren and Vaard couldn't both pick Marshal, unless either Aubrey or Tenro are opposed to multiple PCs having the same mythic path. There are enough distinct path abilities that we won't need to step on each others' toes too much.
That is indeed the one I'd like to pursue. I can share the book to Aubrey if he doesn't have it.
