@Surplus&Viscount - Surplus that's my understanding as well, that it acts as DR for spells/energy attacks and does not 'run out' like Protection from Energy does.
Based on what the Viscount has told us, do we understand that silver is effective?
It doesn't appear he's mentioned silver yet, just that mundane weapons are no good and magic weapons are better. :/
Just need our happy monk...
I'll post Round 1 in about 3-4 hours and bot Enko if he hasn't posted yet. But I know you're around Enko, you keep posting in ooc. :)
Yes...just wanted to know whether I would know to hand my weapon blanch off to a ranged attacker. However, I don't, so, action!
Lets see... on Wednesday, Corneleous said he'd be out tomorrow. Which was yesterday, so he should be able to update today. I think.
Was I mistaken, or didn't Enko have an amulet of mighty fists? Eiither way, between trip and grease us BSF's can really clean house.
Hey folks, I'd like a Game/GM check from y'all please. Meaning are there any specific things you'd like to change? Or tweaked or anything like that? We've completed one module, and had a few personnel changes, but I think things are going well for the most part.
Are things too easy? Too hard? I'd appreciate some input, as this would be an ideal time to change things up if we decide some changes are appropriate.
Thanks in advance.
No concerns from me, but I'll let you know if I think of anything.
No AOMF yet...I am saving my ducats. I'll keep distracting while the Big Strong Fu--I mean Fighters keep whaling them.
Speaking of Trip...checking forums...I know I can't trip, then trip as an AoO, but if the Lemure stands up and I wasn't the tripper (or greaser), can I trip them as an AoO?
@Enko - I was thinking you could trip in this AoO scenario since you weren't the tripper.
I don't think you can trip someone regardless of who did the tripping if the AoO triggering action is standing up from prone. I recall discussions of "trip-locking" and how it's no bueno.
As for your question regarding concerns, I'm diggin' the game, so I don't really have any!
That trip-locking thread is mind numbing, at least the one I read. Lots of arguments on both sides.
For this game I think we best avoid AoO tripping for the scenario of standing up from prone. We can say that goes into effect from this point forward. Feel free to discuss it further if that's an issue, as I know you have a trip-heavy build.
I think the rule against trip-locking doesn't make much sense, either from the real world perspective or from the perspective of the timing of AoOs, but it does appear to have been adopted as the consensus game balance rule in order to avoid perceived excessive exploitation of the trip mechanics.
I think the logic is that the AoO triggers before the standing up is completed?
I wonder if there are analogies. Start to cast a spell, get an AoO, spell is busted...try to drink a potion, get an AoO, potion all over shirt. Yeah, I can see how that trip-locking logic works.
Don't worry about my build..Enko will head into other things in the future. Trip = trap later. Unless someone invents a Magic Mushroom of Monstrous Tripping. Farrr out.
Cool, thanks for being accommodating.
Oh, and regarding the game, I love it. No objections.
It's amazing how a couple wands of magic missile can real turn your day around...
My understanding is that misfortune is not a mind-affecting effect. Charm and evil eye are expressly described as such, but not misfortune. Slumber is described as operating like the sleep spell which, of course, is a mind-affecting effect. It appears that the misfortune hex alters reality around the target to the target's disadvantage, rather than affecting the target's mind. See this thread: http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2lvou?Witch-Hex-nature-of-the-Will-saves
What was it that prompted the attack of opportunity on the troll? Just for the purpose of my education...
It had to move back to allow it to hit, 10' reach, but it couldn't 5' step to get the needed space since it's back was to the wall. So it had to move north around 10 or 15' (I don't recall which) thus triggering the AoO for Caladius.
I'm about to leave for camping for a couple days, thus the short post. Corneleous, please do the wand rolls for your healing!
Profits added to the spreadsheet. Did we end up using all those potions of restoration?
Sabinus used one and I think at least one other got used.
i thought they all got used... ill try to confirm that.
I used one, and I think someone else did too.
I was giving everyone a chance to chime in, shop, etc... As that does seem like it will happen I will move things along in a few hours.
If I do any shopping I'll have to do so in flex. It's a busy weekend for me. I'm still going on LAST weekends deadlines. Whew!
I'll be a little slower than usual (but not much. I'm spending far too much time in my pbp threads. Sue me. :P)
I am guilty of that as well. Someone could make a bunch of money suing the both of us.
I'm afraid my post will have to wait for this evening but can Lucon bring Rebecca as his +1? He's totally out of his depth at parties and would probably try to do so.
I think I'd like to avoid +1's, for a few reasons. I just lost my long explanation post, but basically it's easier to keep it just the group. Especially considering the true reason you've infiltrated the party in the first place... I can elaborate if you'd like... but Im all sad that I lost my big post and would rather not. :)
Ahhhh, the dreaded Postmonster Blues. We've all had them =P
Indeed! The Postmonster is not kind. And yeah that's fair enough Mug.
Someone keep track and/or divvy out the 5 CSW and 4 LR potions please. I don't want them lost in the shuffle if we can help it.
What say we give the Restoration potions to Sabinus to administer and the rest of us without magic take a CSW potion?
Without HEALING magic I should say. (Don't turn me into a toad Cornelius)
Went ahead and divvied like Twigs suggested. Let me know if there's any objections.
None!
These Diplomacy checks. I bet Westcrown's elite are going to LOVE us.
No kidding. I'll be amazed if Sabinus and Caladius manage to avoid a tar and feathering.
Don't worry, peasants! There are plenty of positions as stable hands and valets at Laberan Estates. Now do be a good lad and polish all thirty of these boots.
What manner of questions are we looking to ask? I really have no idea. :P
Can we just have the whole game be descriptions of food from now on?
Hungry much? :)
No kidding. Amazing food.
I'm going to add at the bottom of Sabinus' profile a section containing our mission statement from the Torchbearers. It has been awhile, and I'm a little foggy on the details. It could help us focus our questions and explorations, although in terms of the questions, I have the impression that gaining any gossip we can on the Mayor may be helpful in the long term, even if it turns out not to be helpful for the more specific task before us.
I've also added a section at the very bottom of Sabinus' profile about gossip about Alberian's Folley, so that we don't lose track.
Calidus, you hound you! Just don't get her pregnant.
Well, I thought of a pun involving the word "outsider", but I don't want to get banned. :P
For the record, I'd like to keep this game as P.G. as possible for amorous situations. Not that they've come up that often, but while we're all on the subject. :)
You were way more descriptive than I was planning on being, Mug! I was going to go for a "shuts the door and X minutes later it opens again" fade-to-black type approach.
But yes, Caladius is apparently a hound. =P
Ah, the G rated approach! I like it!
