Best of luck with Flight school, Uriel! It's been fun.
I'm also up for continuing, though adding a full caster would definitely be a plus.
I'll run Telerin for the time being while I recruit an arcane caster. If you know someone who is willing to step into the game, please PM me.
@Darya, it makes sense for you to take up Radiance at this point. Radiance is a Legendary Weapon and currently has a +2 bonus. It has two uses of legendary power each day, and a single item power. Uriel selected "Returning" but since you will be taking it over I'll let you reconfigure if desired.
You can take any item power except for "Upgradable" since the AP upgrades Radiance as you go.
In Hero Lab, to model Radiance properly without getting errors, you'll need to add the "Legendary Item" Path Ability. That means you'll also need to add a Personal Adjustment (+1 Mythic Tier Abilities: Mythic Path Abilities). Don't use the HL-built-in version of Radiance. You need to build it as a custom weapon.
Start prepping your characters for 7th level. We aren't there yet but will be soon.
I would change the Item power to Unstoppable Strike: This weapon bypasses all armor. The wielder can expend one use of legendary power when attacking to make the attack against touch AC. If she instead expends two uses of legendary power, the weapon also bypasses any deflection bonus to AC the target has. An item must be a weapon and be a minor or major artifact to have this ability.
Makes sense for Radiance to be able to strike like a Brilliant Energy weapon when I really need it to. For the +2 Bonus I'd go with +1 Evil Outsider Bane. Also since I serve Ragathiel does it take the form of a Bastard sword as per the description?
"The weapon shifts and changes its form to match the paladin’s deity’s favored weapon (in the hands of a paladin who doesn’t worship a deity, the weapon remains a +1 longsword)."
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Yes, it takes the form of a bastard sword (and already had done so in Uriel's possession).
This is all good. I'll move us along.
Sorry been a super busy couple of days, dealing with doctors/insurance companies in preparation for my son's knee surgery.
Should post later today.
When you said Roll for Initiative, is that for the army or us?
For you. Apologies for the ambiguity.
If you want to drop me I ubderstand but I did tell you that I felt my character was ineffective
Alexa, I am soo sorry for your koss. I lost my dad in July.
If you want to drop me I ubderstand but I did tell you that I felt my character was ineffective
I prefer not to drop anyone.
If you want to do a rebuild you are more than welcome to do that.
You also have access to 3rd level spell casting in the city. Given the timing of yesterday's events, you would have had enough time to transcribe three 3rd level spells.
You actually GM'd for this group for a while, too, right after Asmodina ghosted us. I was playing our cleric at the time, Aberus.
Adding a divine caster to the party would be a good thing as the party does not many options for status removal at the moment and limited divine casting. They are light on in-combat healing, but that is easier to work around (I don't want to force anyone into a particular role in general, but I especially don't want to force someone into playing a healbot).
Wow, I don't even remember that.
It's been several years, so no surprise it isn't fresh in your mind.
Correct on the mythic rules. In-combat healing has never been a great option for PF1/3.5/OGL games and mythic makes that even more true.
Hi there.
Sorry to disturb. I share a WotR game with Darya, and there we were told you were in need of some reinforcements, so I PM'd her on the matter, with an answer to receive news soon.
I didn't get any, and I guess it's because you're back to normal again, but I thought I'd just drop a word here only to be hundred percent sure.
Once again, sorry for the breaking in.
Hi, Jereru. The delay is my fault, and you are not intruding. I would like to see our party get back to six PC's so that the make-up can survive the loss of a player. Life events can strike without warning, and have done so.
The current makeup is: bard, paladin, rogue, wizard, with a 5th in the wings that is looking at a divine caster. If slotting into that interests you, then we should chat.
I'll PM both you and Jesse so we can talk the details of working you into the campaign and its events using something more subtle than a crowbar.
If you want to look at my GM style, I stepped into the role at the start of book 2.
Sure, yeah! I mean, you all should probably talk and whatever, as I said I don't want to stomp my feet on the ground if that causes troubles to any player.
But if you're all okay, I'm fine with whatever you need/want me to add to the group.
I should be done by TH with the revamp (work is really busy right now)
I think I am ready. I ended up going energy admixture.
Excellent. When you get a chance, send me your HL file (if you use it) otherwise just your statblock and I'll try to recreate it.
Go ahead and make your character. The PM is just to discuss how to hook into the story. I've been delayed due to some family news back home.
I... uhm... was gonna ask how's it all going...
I see few in-game posts in a while, and not much feedback here, so I was wondering where is the game headed. Should I make something for you guys? If so, under which creation rules? I've already read that updates on the current situation and any past info would be PMs.
As I said, that's if you ask agree.
Yes, please create a character. My PM is coming, but at some point.
Just letting the rest of you know, my mom's long term prognosis is bad. I fly out tomorrow morning to visit with her for a few days so I may not be very responsive this week.
Ah well, that sounds like something that will require your attention, yes; I know what you mean, unfortunately.
Priorities are priorities.
I'm so sorry to hear that.bTake all the time you need. Real life definitely comes first.
Sorry to hear about your mother, GM. Please, don't worry about us--focus on your family.
Indeed, we'll be ready when you are!
Excellent. When you get a chance, send me your HL file (if you use it) otherwise just your statblock and I'll try to recreate it.
How does one do that?
Maybe you guys can help me while the GM is focused on more important matters...
How did you calculate your HP? And how many traits you've got to begin with? Is you're using Background skills, no feat tax rules. Anything else I need to know?
Thank you!
4 traits (campaign), yes in background skills, standard feat rules.
Thank you.
Did you roll your HP?
Looks like we went full HP for level one, half HD +1 for subsequent levels, adding on the bonus for hard to kill once mythic starts
That is what I remember.
Who is left from the group?
Here!
Before the events on 16 Aroden
So Bron's mom was an evil witch/sorcerer/whatever who gave birth to twins, Bron and his sister Alissa. Since Bron reached his puberty without showing the levels of power - and evilness - his mother was expecting, she prepared a ritual to deprive or Bron of all his power - magical, life, anything, which would leave him as a dry carcass.
However, his willpower prevailed, helped by the image of a mysterious woman. He managed to break free and fled. Seeking information about his vision, he ended up in Iomedae's church, which he embraced with open arms and adopted the Inheritor as his "second mom". The cult saw a good asset in his devotion and strange inherited powers, and sent him to Kenabres for service.
After 16 Aroden
Bron helped the resisting forces with several things like finding supplies and eliminating demonic patrols. He took part in the attack to attract the forces of evil so the heroes could rescue the wardstone. When it shattered, the wave of mythical energy also impacted Bron.
After the liberation of Kenabres, Bron was sent with an expeditionary force as escort for the scouting vanguard. The heroes would be sent with the army the following day.
I stopped there because I'll have to see with the GM whether Bron was captured, hidden as the only survivor of the scouts, or whatever. He might not even like this backstory. But it was the best way I could find to start with some kind of link to the group. We'll see...
Most of the mechanics are done as well. I opted for a frontliner to relieve some of the weight from your shoulders, but if you're up for anything else just let me know.
Hey, folks! Thank you for your patience. This trip has been significantly more involved and exhausting than I had expected (and I was expecting a lot). I return today, and will get caught up over the rest of the weekend.
Don't feel bad, I have had a cold for about a week, I spent yesterday in bed.
Yeah, take your time. Life is almost as important :p
And I've been pretty busy with the hotel juggling a lot of groups with needy and petulant guests. <_<
Quick chargen summary for our new folk. If the other players see I've missed something, please add it in.
- 20pt buy
- background skills (from PF unchained)
- hero points (from APG), with the only exception being "+8 before rolling" isn't an option since players can preview their rolls
- non-rolled HP (full HP at 1st level, and PFS standard beyond that: dX becomes X/2+1)
Mythic Tier 1, or not yet?
Not yet. I just can't come up with a plausible justification for it knowing the storyline. But I don't want to keep a disparity between the old and new players for long, so at the next mythic trial (which is coming Real Soon Now) you'll go straight to Tier 2.
Okay so mostly my background needs to be rewritten XD I'll see to it later today.
So I found out on Friday that come January, no job for me, reduction in force due to student numbers being low.
