Without dissecting the build it looks like they have natural attack: +2 slam, +4 bite, and +6 tail slap. Then there is simple template advanced added which adds +2 to damage (+1 CR)
So, bite is x1.0... Slam is x0.5 and tail is x1.5...
Ouch.
note the website will be down this evening, so there won't be any posting.

Astri, I sacrificed two chickens, 1 goat, and litter of kittens to the dice gods over the weekend. At least my hard work was received with warm results.
I believe the website is going offline in a few minutes, so I'll log off for now.
Torgue has plenty of meat to carve off.
Badger's Ferocity... would have been a crit-fest!
Each one 2d6+18.
Races still going on?
No it concluded Sunday. The Penske team dominated the show.
Astri, was just explaining ooc... In character reaction was good.
Busy most of the day, posting will be spotty.
Has anyone used the downtime rules in a game like Kingmaker and liked them?
Bri the DTR add flavor but definitely increases the workload on the DM and there will be a quick power creep which of course means the DM has to adjust and do more work to accommodate for the downtime. Remember the player focuses primarily on one thing: his or her character; while the dm has to focus on each player, the NPCs/Monsters, each scene, the maps, the world and the various story arcs and so forth. In otherwords, the DM probably puts in 3 to 4 times the amount of work for a successful game to run than the player. I'm not complaining, I absolutely savior the time I spend DM'ing and devising interesting twists and turns to keep it challenging. I prefer to do things informally and hand-wave the downtime like when Astri fiddles or Sorrin recruits for the ship, it flows with the way I tell the story, and it keeps most the players involved.
Bri on a previous campaign focused on colonization we used the downtime rules extensively. Ours were modified to have farms providing food and we were actually building a settlement but we had a lot of fun with it. Baldwin is right that it takes a lot of focus from the GM. In my game the players each took responsibly for their own buildings and we tracked food and communal income as a group.
I ended up getting quite busy today. I'm sitting down now to what movie, I'll try to log later tonight.
Chil-lax, boss.
Game night tonight so I'll be logging off later this afternoon.
I are back.
The next post in the gameplay thread is officially over 9,000.
I'm all for using wands for out-of-combat healing, but are you saving your spontaneous casting of healing spells for in combat Chell? Or saving the spells for a big bad?
I'd just like to know more about your spell strategy.
I was busy with the family today and I'm going to be out of touch most of the morning tomorrow.
@Spell strategy, always tough.
@Family, enjoy!
The environment makes all of Astri's spells useless.. she might as well be a really crappy ranger right now. Maybe she can convince a gatorman to jump into the spikey death well.
Enjoy your family time Baldwin!

I try to yes. I think my spells are more valuable than the healing they could provide...until someone is about to die, especially the 3rd level ones. Usually combat doesn't last long enough for someone to get that close to death but I will use spontaneous casting if some one gets too low and are at a threat of getting dropped to negatives. I would rather use Channel for combat healing but I am out. Probably going to get extra channel at 7.
The way I look at it is- potions and wands cost money, spell slots don't. You get them back every day. I'll admit I'm liberal with my spells though.
It's about dusk in-game, so once we finish clearing the temple I doubt we'll be going back through the swamp, especially if we have rescues. Hopefully we can find a place to rest for the night in the temple.
It's funny, when I play the cleric I prefer to use a wand or potions, and I tend to save the spells for combat. I usually play a more combat oriented cleric though, using all channels for healing is risky if there are undead around.
I played a really weird cleric in my last game. It was a skill cleric. I know that sounds insane, but it was. Strangely enough it worked, so even though I was liberal with my healing I was still useful.
I've always wanted to play a wizard but I have the feeling I'd be way too gung-ho with my heavy artillery and fireball all the little mooks at the start, and then have to shoot rays of frost in shame for the rest of the day.
I've a commitment that will keep me off line tonight.
I think Torgue and Sorrin have to muscle and dance through this. No point wasting resources.
Range gets -8, soft, soft, 10 through water. Worth a try I suppose.
Agreed, Sorrin and Torgue will mostly have to slog through this one is we're stuck single file like this. Hopefully one or two of us can swim up at least?
Ranged attacks are -2 for every 5 feet of water. So bri firing a crossbow (though I don't think she has the actions to perform it, see gameplay) at the first wright would be +8 soft cover AC for the wight, and -6 to attack due to 15 feet range.
So no point in using it anyway.
This is a tricky little module that the designers set up. It takes away quite a bit form the players normal tactics and put them in unfamiliar terrain. It certainly highlights some weaknesses the party has at this stage of the campaign.
I like it! These kinds of challenges keep the combat interesting. We'd be in serious trouble if not for Chell's domain power.
May the dice gods bless you, Torgue and Sorrin. Chell can still cast some spells at least.
I was laughing my arse off when she announced she had blown through her channels already. I didn't even have to be cruel by adding these critters, they came premade. :-)
Definitely getting extra channel after this and maybe quick channel after that.
Time for us to all have gillmen PCs in the future

I was shaking my head imagining you laughing your arse off.

I was cringing as I thought of all of reactions to the bad news.
Found some shiny toys to add to my wish list...
Mnemonic Vestment I really like this one- it helps to get around the fact scrolls are stuck at the caster level they're made, making utility scrolls even more useful. Once per day, of course.
Page of Spell Knowledge,Ring of Spell Knowledge Same concept as above but for specific spells. Any spontaneous caster would love to have one that contains a useful but situational spell.
Rod of Splendor This item screams Astrianna...
Is that what Sorrin calls it?
Sorrin doesn't call it, that's your... never mind.
Current Voting for going in the Sarlac Den-
Astri- Go In
Sorrin- Go In
Torgue- Move on
Chell- Move on
Embri- ?
Embri, tie breaker go!
I've been swamped most of the week and I've had not time to post today.
Sorta me to... Between taxes and some big projects at work.
What's your plan Chell?
Unless you guys block them, Sorrin can't reach anyone... ever.
You could move to H23, throw a dagger or something? Or doublemove to I22 and get in position for a flank with Astri/Chell.
Have to move in INIT order and see what opportunity arises, sure.
sorrin if you want to move after you've taken your potion that's fine with me.
