Baldwin the Merciful's - CoT Campaign (Inactive)

Game Master baldwin the merciful

Think I'll pick up Teleport for retreat insurance.

Or we can do a Scry and Fry with Teleport. :) Maybe teleport in and kick Ilnerik in the head.while he is sleeping.

Orsin. Sure thing. :) We can always use more scrolls. I don't remember how long it has been unfortunatly.

You might want to improve your breast plate.

Upgrade cloak to +2
See about Wand of Lesser Restoration
Possibly get light shield upgraded to +2

Things we should think about getting

We might think about pooling our gold for cosumables like scrolls of Death Ward.

Wish List:
Eyes of the Owl
Scroll of Daylight
Food raw ingredients
Oils for Reincartation

MMmmmmmm..FOOD!

Be sure to update your statline for Euphemia, Trout. Just in case Baldwin or someone else needs to bot. :)

She's still down damage and CON damage, though. :) We don't technically level up until we rest.

The site gobbled up a post and crashed on me for quite a while. That was frustrating.

I haven't decided if I'm going to ballgame tonight, if I do I won't be on much.

She's still down damage and CON damage, though. :) We don't technically level up until we rest.

We can get some healing from our NPC friends back at the safehouse. :)

I have Andrea, Euphemia and Daniel's wish lists.

Orsin what scrolls are you looking for? You can find the post you referenced regarding bonding, I don't recall it nor that you bonded with anything. it hasn't been that long in days between leveling. I have a calendar of events up under the camp info tab.

Gerard post your wish list.

Gah! The bf wants to do nothing but game, but when I finally set it up, unless he knows everything about the game hours in advance and I herald his character as a god and remember everything about it, it feels like, he just doesn't want to anymore because I haven't made any consistent campaigns. He also pads me for not doing it regularily... I have homework and I NEVER know when his days off are going to be... or that of our friends....!
/starteddmingandhewalkedoffcomplainingoflackofexcitementbeforeweevenstarted
Sorry, I gotta vent somewhere... I just feel so... gah. I only dm because he whines, and then he's not grateful or satisfied.
He says I have a choice, but he always lingers about plans on his days off as if he's asking me to do that.

What would you guys do?

Vent away.

I self censored the post I was going to do.

Well. If he wants to be a god character, give him hercules type tasks. So if he makes them, he is awesome, but if he fails it is just his own fault.

Plus insist that homework is to be done first.

I'm sorry, Gm, I'm sure you understand.
Andrea, I've tried that... he doesn't actually want a challenge, though.. He says he does, but he throws a tantrum when it shows up.

Sounds like we would get along fine. You should have seen me complain when things go pear-shaped. :)

I'm sorry, Gm, I'm sure you understand.

Andrea, I've tried that... he doesn't actually want a challenge, though.. He says he does, but he throws a tantrum when it shows up.

No apology needed. Put his pillow on the couch he'll get the idea.

Pick up Dagger

Wand of Message (Level 0) - 375gp
Wand of Mage Armor (Level 1) - 750gp (for Phem/Frank)
Wand of Expeditious Retreat (Level 1) - 750gp
Wand of Summon Monster II (Level 2) - 4500gp (gift for Phem, and flanking help)

Goggles of Minute Seeing, 2500gp
Upgrade Cloak of Resistance +1 (to +2) - 3000gp

Potion of Heroism (bard), 400
Potion of Ant Haul (2), 50 ea
Potion of Invisibility, 300
Potion of Silence, 300
Potion of Blacklight, 750

I think I'm OK otherwise...

Also, reworking Gerard as a user of magical devices... also a smooth operator, caaaaalm under pressure. Cool hand Luke type.

Orsin what scrolls are you looking for? You can find the post you referenced regarding bonding, I don't recall it nor that you bonded with anything. it hasn't been that long in days between leveling. I have a calendar of events up under the camp info tab.

Okay, so I found the post in the discussion thread here wherein I say that I bond to my longsword, but it looks like I actually forgot to post that I wanted to work on it throughout. Truly, not a big deal since I'm not front-lining these days as much as I have in the past.

As for my wish list, I'm pretty much hoping to raid Talbard's if he's willing to let us in/still around. Items of interest to follow shortly...

Wish List

So, buying only scrolls for a while and not paying his landlady rent means that Orsin's kind of rolling in it. Like, 26k gp rolling in it. As far as wondrous items go, I'm capping out my wish list at Lesser Medium.

Glove of storing - 10,000 gp
Lesser metamagic rod, Intensified Spell - 3,000 gp
Ring of spell knowledge (magic missile) - 1,500 gp
Lesser metamagic rod, Extend Spell - 3,000 gp
Five (5) scrolls of lightning bolt - 1,875 gp

Any other scroll suggestions for blasting? My CL is 9 and I can use that instead of the CL of the scroll, making lower level spell scrolls slightly more desirable now...

Good Hope+ Inspire in the same round ftw!

Scrolls of Ear Piercing Scream? 25gp ea, but 3d6, 4d6 or 5d6 depending on our build. Not familiar with Savant.

Level 10 HP, Rogue: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

HP +8, 6 rogue +2 con
BAB +1
Reflex Save +1

Skill points 11, (8 rogue +2 int +1 human)

• +1 Acrobatics
  
• +1 Disable lDevice
  
• +1 Know Local
  
• +1 Perception
  
• +1 Stealth
  
• +6 Use Magical Device

Go Skill Monkey!

Hidden Blade +1 (Slight of Hand, Lt Blades +5 total)

Level 10 Adv Rogue Talent (Skill Mastery): Can "Take 10" on 3+2 (int) Skills even under duress when not normally allowed - Acrobatics, Disable Device, Perception, Stealth, Use Magic Device

Of course you'll think I'm singling you out Gerard but I won't let take 10 on perception checks...that will ruin this module for the rest for the game.

If I'm lying' I'm dying... LOL. And no... you're not singling me out. Just anyone with the Advanced Talent class feature.

Have I mentioned I'm Egyptian... and how many times I was randomly picked for security screenings at airports?

I think I'm getting a message loud and clear... you feel the Rogue Class is overpowered!

EDIT: Just Perception? I thought you were disallowing the "Skill Mastery" Advanced Talent.

My apologies. I can swap Climb for Perception. True Monkey!

I'll propose a deal... let me rearrange some more skill points (from previous levels)... and I'll pass on Skill Mastery all together and live dangerously.

It was just perception but you know...I'll let go. I'll adjust a few things on my end.

Sounds like more work for the same net result. Why bother. We want it as easy for you as possible... if you're expending energy, let it be to tweak the story for our custom story arcs (creative, not mechanical).

I can swap to something else... And, for the record I totally understand. Taking 10 can make things less... "exciting".

Which may be "safe" but boring.

Please save yourself the trouble, I'll pick another Advanced Talent.

Maybe "Opportunist" or "Unwitting Ally". Sound good?

Unwitting Ally sounds fun. Done.

Gotta find flanking partners somewhere.

And before Phem says anything... I LOVE the challenge! But, getting pooched by the dice at the most critical moments I can do without.

Actually Gerard,

The advanced talent: Hide in plain sight: Urban would be good for you.
Besides that little foray into the swap, the whole adventure has been in Westcrown.

It would let you use Stealth even while being observed.
Pretty sweet.

Or Hunter's Surprise is a good way to make someone your b!tch for 2 full attacks (no flank needed)
Or the ninja trick talent is sweet (vanishing trick)

I will also look into getting some Silversheen if possible for when we run into those vampires/devils.

@Baldwin -How would this work?

Hide in Plain Sight (Ex)
Prerequisite: Advanced talents

Benefit: A rogue with this talent can select a single terrain from the ranger’s favored terrain list. She is a master at hiding in that terrain, and while within that terrain, she can use the Stealth skill to hide, even while being observed.

Sneak Attack(s), Hide, Sneak Attack(s), Hide, Sneak Attack(s), Hide?

If you would share your interpretation, that would be great.

Hunter's Surpsie-SA-Vanish-SA-Vanish-SA-HiPS-SA-

Actually since hiding is a standard action it's

Rd1 hide, rd2 SA, Round 3 hide, Round 4 SA,

Or

Hunter's Surprise is kinda like 1/day rogue smite.

Rd 1 (ideally) declare your 'prey' SA!
Rd2 SA Again.

Then it's over.

Hiding requires no action really... or can be part of movement, not particularly a move action.

I'd think maybe stealth vs. perception, succeed then...

SA (sneak/single) like "sniping" (except can be melee and has no -20 penalty) and possibly moving for stealth vs. perception again... rinse and repeat.

Essentially, during a round... an attack (standard) and stealth check (and/or move action).

Basically giving up your full attack for 1 guaranteed SA per round.

Seems ok.

If you were to Attack then use a move action to 5ft step to the side and hide) you would be concealed? 50% miss?

I think the "difference" is, you don't have to start with concealment.

Like when that Ogrekin was after me... I could have just made a Stealth check and hid behind the door, wagon, lamp post, etc... Even though he started out seeing me.

Still opposed by Perception.

Sneak Attack(s), Hide, Sneak Attack(s), Hide, Sneak Attack(s), Hide?

If you would share your interpretation, that would be great.

So, basically, you want to snipe while making a melee attack rather than a ranged attack and then slip into a hidden position by using hide in plain sight but without using a move action, is that correct?

I think this could be melee or ranged and a move action would be expected with this.

Was just a general statement that Stealth typically doesn't require one. Hide = Get out of sight.

I'd think you could forego the rehiding and full round attack.leaving yourself "exposed" for that round, then opt for single attack and hide the next round.
