Yeah, Server crash.
Any word from Uriel's player?
None. Was going to bot last night but crashed early from lack of sleep. :P
Sorry. Busy week. I'll try to be better.
Getting the privacy error again, TheFifth.
Fixed. Thanks for the heads-up.
My wife's been sick the last couple of days (don't worry; it's not Covid) and I've been getting tired early after work is over. I keep thinking she'll be better tomorrow. Of course, now that I've posted my excuse for not updating, she will be. :)
Sorry to hear that she hasn't been well. Hope she recovers soon.
Do these aurochs count as outsiders? If so, I think Darya gets an additional 2d6 to damage.
They don't I asked before
Darya slashes into the aurochs.
Ah. Missed that.
And your wife as well.
I hope that you feel better.
Much better, thank you! Mask mandates came down last weekend here and I am betting we all started passing around the little bugs we'd not been passing around while wearing masks. :)

Well I'M still wearing masks when I go out, mandate or no mandate! :P

"Nice to see more people who didn't dump INT or WIS at character creation."
Same
Oh wow, I thought it would've been. Demons are tougher in the Worldwound, I guess. That's what I get for presuming.
Our friend with cancer is back in the hospital. Will get back to the game here as soon as I can.
I'm really sorry to hear that.
Indeed. Here's hoping they get better soon! Again, don't worry about things here. We'll be here when you're ready.
Doctor pulled 600ml of fluid from one of their lungs, which is about 2-1/2 cups.
Good news is there wasn't a sign of infection so they were discharged tonight. We still have their dog for the next couple of days while they get settled back in.
Bad news is, cancer markers shot way up, but they just started a more aggressive course of chemo when the markers started climbing, so that may not be as bad as it sounds. Will know in a month or so.
Our friend has been recovering at home, and we returned their dog to them today. They've got family in town for the next few days.
I'll try to move us along tomorrow.
Wait, can you not? I thought you could always trade an action for a lesser one (the progression being Standard>Move>Swift). IE, instead of a standard and a move, double move. Have I been doing that wrong for years?
You can take a move action in place of a standard action because the rules specifically state this, but there is no rule that says you can do something similar with swift actions. They also give a hard limit of one swift per turn.
In a normal round, you can perform a standard action and a move action, or you can perform a full-round action. You can also perform one swift action and one or more free actions. You can always take a move action in place of a standard action.
...
Swift Action: A swift action consumes a very small amount of time, but represents a larger expenditure of effort and energy than a free action. You can perform only a single swift action per turn.
The problem as I see it is that swift actions are generally more powerful than standard or move actions, especially since they can be done at any point during your turn, so they aren't really a lesser action per se. They take up very little time in the action economy, true, but what they provide is quite significant.
It might be a reasonable house rule, though if you had a player with, say, a magus or warpriest, that might border on unbalanced given what these classes can do with their swift actions.
I've seen what can happen with that. Had a DM allow the swap and between magus and mythic, one character was taking something like 2-3 rounds of actions in effect, in a single round and devastating the battlefield while everyone else was standing still.
GM, I forgot I was hasted. May I take my extra attack on the tiefling?
Yes
Thank you :)

See, that's why you're the GM and I'm the player. :)
Uriel? Telerin? You still with us?

Any sign of Uriel or Telerin? I hope everything's alright with them...
...might need to bot them in the meantime, though.
Sorry, lots going on. Got a fracture in a toe and a kid was arrested at school yesterday for bringing a gun to school
Holy Crap. Given what's happened in the last 48 hrs...Damn!
CHEESE-AND-RICE, TELERIN! I'm glad you're...at least somewhat okay? :(
Sorry. My apartment complex’s internet is on the fritz, so my posting will be spotty until…whenever it gets fixed. I’ll try to do what I can from mobile.
But tbh, that’s only been an excuse for the last couple of days. I haven’t been paying as much attention as I should have. Feel free to bot me for the moment, but I’m still here, hopefully we’ll be back up tomorrow.
+ end of year, getting ready to teach summer school and then starting a new teaching job in the fall
OK. I'll move us along tomorrow.
Crazy stuff, Telerin. Glad to hear that didn't turn into an incident on the news. :(
On our end, my wife was planning on retiring from the district in a couple of years. And then she decided to leave at the end of this year. And then at the end of last month, amidst some medical issues, she had enough of administrative BS and quit the following week.
She's the second teacher at her school to leave mid-year this year. And six more have already announced that they are leaving when the school year ends. These are crazy-high numbers. You rarely hear about someone planning to leave this far in advance, and leaving in the middle of the school year is practically unheard of.
Some districts are reporting these teachers to the State PED's so that their licenses get dinged or taken away.
I am so happy to be leaving my district at the end of the summer.
From the stories you've mentioned it sounds like a hopeless case...
Some districts are reporting these teachers to the State PED's so that their licenses get dinged or taken away.
As long as you give the notice required by the contract, they can't do that here. But there's a medical issue in play as well so that changes the rules.
I suspect most of those teachers are not planning to return so to them it's an empty retaliation. This was her 30th year of teaching and she's not planning to return, either.
Folks, I am sick and have seen since Friday. When I'm able to concentrate enough on a combat round I'll update.
Hope you feel better soon. Get some rest.
OK. I am alive again. Seriously, I slept all day Saturday and almost all of Sunday. And wasn't much good Monday or Tuesday. :P
Post is in progress!
Welcome back! Glad you hear you're feeling better.
A class I will be teaching next year: Dungeons & Dragons & Grammar
Sometimes, even rolling a natural 20 isn’t enough to get you past a boss--at least, not when the boss is grammar. Students will create characters, fight epic battles, and explore dungeons, all while learning about and implementing grammatical conventions. By the end of the seminar, even being an ogre with an intelligence of 7 and a perception of 10 won’t be able to stop you from toppling any grammatical boss that dares to challenge you. (WRIT, PROJ)
The kid who took the gun to my old school had 25 hollow tipped bullets and they only arrested him yesterday.,

That's all I can say!
Did my gladius strike connect with my auroch?
