Heads up, I will be having cataract surgery tomorrow in one of my eyes. As such I will not likely be reading/writing much soon after. I may be silent this week (at the least).
As I said in the other thread, good luck with your surgery.
We understand. Take it easy and recover.
Just want to let everyone know that I am traveling next week for a MAJOR test/evaluation event for a software product my company develops. In the leadup to that, I am going to be really busy at work, and at home, prepping for the week-long trip. I may not be able to post reliably until after I am back.
Totally understandable. We'll wait until you're finished.
No worries. Good luck with your event.
So, I found out last week that I am heading to California on Tuesday (2/5) for a 3-day trip. If history tells me anything, it is that I may be AFK for that time. I am going to try and keep up, but you never know.
Wow, that was tough. I thought at least one of us was finished!
Have fun in California, nice and warm at least.
Enjoy your trip.
Yeah, I thought it would take the readied and at least one more round.
Taking another (should be my last) level of Fighter.
It's hard to turn down the free feat vs. 1 more sneak attack (especially since everything in here is constructs or elementals).

I'm reserving declaring my two new spells for after I have some time to review the books.
Jam will walk around the area to pick up all the Durable Arrows he shot. (They are the only kind of arrows I have so I didn't think to note that I was firing Durable Arrows)

+1 to Fort., Refl., and Will.

Regular Attack: +8(+9)
Flurry of Blows Attacks: +6(+7)/+6(+7)/+1(+2)

Here's a little nugget that I just discovered. Apparently, I didn't update my top field with my hp from the last time we leveled. So I was at 37 HP the whole time! So, now I'm at least at 42. It's better than 36.
Other leveling up goodness:
+1 BAB
+1 on all saves
+1 2nd level spell
+1 3rd level spell
Skill points: 4
1 into Perception
1 into Kno. (religion)
1 into Sense Motive
1 into Diplomacy
Ah I almost forgot the +1 Hp or skill point for favoured class. +1hp for me.
After some reflection, I've changed my mind about adding a skill point to Knowledge (Nature). I'm going to give it to Linguistics instead and learn Giant as my new language. I also forgot to add my extra skill point for gaining a new level, so I'll put that in Knowledge (Arcana).
So now its--
HP: 7
Bab: +1
Fort: +1
Ref: +1
Skill points (7)
Knowledge (Arcana)
Knowledge (Engineering)
Knowledge (Geography)
Knowledge (Planes)
Linguistics
Perception
Spellcraft
Languages: Giant
Thanks to Hero Lab, I've also noticed that when I did my last rebuild of Shabbezz I forgot to include the two free 1st-level spells that should have been added to her spellbook when she hit level 2, so I'm remedying that right now.
1st—shield, summon monster I
And for the two spells I've gained this level, I'm taking dispel magic and haste.
So my current spellbook is now--
3rd—clairaudience/clairvoyance, dispel magic, fireball (DC 17), haste, lightning bolt (DC 17)
2nd—flaming sphere (DC 16), glitterdust (DC 16), gust of wind (DC 16), locate object, see invisibility, web (DC 16)
1st—burning hands (DC 15), comprehend languages, detect secret doors, detect undead, floating disk, grease, identify, mage armor, magic missile, shield, sleep (DC 15), summon monster I
0—all 0-level spells except for Illusion and Necromancy
I'm afraid that I'm not going to be able to post for the rest of the week.
My father was struck by a car today while walking the dog. He's in the ICU right now and it's too early to say for sure if he'll be okay.
I'm sorry about this, but I need to be with my family right now. I'll update you all on the situation as I am able.
That is really crap, I hope he is ok. You do what you have to.
Oh no. I m sorry to hear that. We'll be praying for your father and family. Take the time you need and don't worry about us. We'll still be here.
Hope he pulls through.
Thank you all for your patience.
My father got a broken leg, a severe concussion with bleeding in his frontal lobe, and about three dozen cuts and abrasions, but (thank God) he pulled through. He was in agony and pretty drugged up for a week, and they had to wait three days his brain to heal enough so that they could operate on his leg. His short-term memory is still shot to hell, although they said that would probably get better over time.
It could have been worse though. He was struck by a car turning left at ten miles an hour, and if it hadn't stopped immediately or if he had been a larger man they said he would have been killed. As it was, the fender shattered his leg and he bounced off the hood and then struck his head on the asphalt. He doesn't remember any of it.
The dog came home five hours later. He is fine.
Anyway, Dad was moved into the rehab wing of the hospital today, and he still has a long road to recovery, but he should improve over time. Things feel stable enough, so I will start posting again.
Glad to hear he is on the mend.
@Shabbezz - glad to hear that he pulled through and in on the mend. Keep us informed, and still feel free to take as much time off as you need, whenever you need.
Apparently, even though I could swear I took care of it, I did not inform everyone that I would be on a trip last week with no internet. My apologies. Normal posting to resume.
Thank you guys for the kind words. I'll let you know if I require any time off, but I think we're god for right now.
FYI - I will be travelling from Thursday through Tuesday and I might not be able to post during those times. If I am your GM, please feel free to RP as you like. If I am you rplayer, please feel free to bot me as needed.
Alright. Have a good trip.
Traveling for the week, but booked a place with wifi. So, as long as my laptop cooperates, I should be able to post regularly. More than usual, potentially, given I have nothing much else to do after work each day. :)
I apologize for the complete silence. I have either had no internet, or no chance to log in for the last week and a half. Back to normal posting now (hopefully).
Good to have you back.
Sorry, I had access, but it was very spotty, and wasn't reliable enough to not piss me off if I lost a post, not to mention I had less time that I thought. The combination of the two made my posting limited. Then, since my return, been busy catching up with work and plumbing issues at home.
Maptool is really pissing me off right now, prompting me to ask yet again if there is anyone who cannot use Roll20 for the mapping? I know it has been an issue in the past, but I'm checking to see if anything has changed.
I can't access it at work. I will have a go when I can, but do we know if they have changed the mobile access? Otherwise I could still access it, but it would be less often.
Sounds pretty annoying though, happy to try Roll20 if it helps you.
I'm on Roll20. My smartphone can access it, but it's a pain. But it works in a pinch.
Without shelling out, (which seems a bit much for one game) it looks like I won't be able to access Roll20 from my phone, which may lessen my opportunities to see the map. However that shouldn't be too hard to work around. I will just have to be organised and check via the laptop more often. Happy to give it a go.
What do you mean without shelling out? Are you talking about the Pro subscription to allow players to access from mobile devices? I have already done that. I've been running games on Roll20 for years. It is only a couple of my paizo holdouts that haven't completely switched over yet.
Tell you what, I'm going to invite you guys to a Roll20 map and see what you think. In the meantime, I'll try and recover that maptool map and we can move forward.
Here is the player link for the campaign, just let me know when you log in which character you are :)

Sorry, yes that was what I meant, didn't realise you already had. I have reported in, it isn't the easiest on a phone, but good enough to fill in when I can't use the home computer. I have used it for a previous game (before they stopped access at work) and found it pretty good, so I am happy if it makes your life easier.
Logged on! changed my name to my avatar on here. so you should be able to find it easy.
Done. you have full control over Jam
So, Shabbezz, have you had a chance to check into the Roll20 game yet? Everyone else has done so.
I have assigned everyone control over their token in Roll20. You can only see what your character can see, so lighting influences everything. If you are having a hard time, or don't think you'll be able to do this, let me know and I'll rebuild the campaign in an older version of Maptool.
Honestly, I'd rather run in Roll20, but if it's a pain for you guys then we won't do it. Either way, I want to start the next section this weekend at the latest, so I need to know where to spend my time.
Sorry, entirely my fault, I allowed myself to get distracted this week. I am in as Bob Evil, but I'm just seeing a lot of black on the map at the moment.
I can see you. It's probably because Bigrin hasn't linked your token with your account yet.
Speaking of seeing, I like the lighting effects, but gnomes have low-light vision. I think I should be able to see farther than that.
Okay, never really used it that much before, but it looks like I have 45' of light, and 20' of shadow (maybe it's just a scaling thing). But I only have darkvision, so can't see anything past 60' (or human ranges with a light source) and there should be no shadowy within it.
@Angelica - fixed your lighting. It's the default dimness for Roll20. I have you now set to 60' of bright light that only you can see. I think there is a 5' dim beyond that because Roll20 has to have a dim annulus.
@Shabbezz - BobEvil is now assigned to Shabbezz. You should be good to go.
Thanks Bigrin. I'm still seeing just blackness on Roll20, but I'm assuming that will change once we get moving (I have darkvision 60 feet as well).
Have you zoomed out and looked in the lower right hand corner of the map? Roll20 automatically starts you in the upper left corner. My test login can act as your character and can see just fine.
That worked. I can see everything now, including my token. Thanks again.
All right then, moving on to the next map! Let's try this out!
Apologies. I misunderstood the use of Roll20. So we're just using it as a map? (I basically said I was following suit over there in the chat window.) Sorry for the confusion!
