Just a heads up, I am traveling this weekend. Leaving tomorrow, returning Sunday. Should be able to post a little over the weekend, but perhaps not daily.
Return to normal duty on Monday next week.

Re: Occutist enhancing weapons (legacy weapon)
...
You can also imbue the weapon with any one weapon special ability with an equivalent enhancement bonus less than or equal to your maximum bonus by reducing the granted enhancement bonus by the appropriate amount. The item must have an enhancement bonus of at least +1 (from the item itself or from legacy weapon) to gain a weapon special ability
...
Emphasis mine.
It looks like as long as the dagger itself is already +1 he can use the bonus to increase it to +2 or add a special ability.
If the weapon is unmagical, yes I do need 6th level. Otherwise not ;-)
That's the part I was missing. The weapon is already magical. I'm good to go now.
That is why Atticus will buy a decent magic weapon after this adventure. Preferably a polearm.

Will you double check your skill points? By my calculation, you should have 41 to spend, but it looks like you have only spent 38. Right now, based on what you left behind, no ACP either. Everything else looks good. Can't wait to see an enlarged, mutant professor wielding a bane weapon...

My apologies, but I have not been taking Nargun's DR into account when calculating his damage taken. Please help me remember to do so from now on. Nargun is good to go at level 4, but I think his Fort save is +8, not the +7 in your header.

I know, right? Thankfully I'll grab +1 Fort for the Con increase, and +1 for levels 5 & 6. In case it's super needed in the next AP or something.

Question: Should we add on the additional HP and Spells know to today's powers, or should we wait until tomorrow?
Also how much control do you want to have over Whisper? Do you want to run her in combat, or do you want me to run her with you stepping in if you think I'm doing something out of line? I'm assuming you will want me to control her outside of combat, but if you want to I can work with that.
And now I imagine Devan unleashing his inner Georges Michael and singing this song to your wolf….

My intelligence going up also gave me a new language, is that right? I don't know what I would take (or why I would suddenly know it) so I have left it blank for now as well.
I don't remember how we were doing spells while leveling up in the dungeon so I just left the slots blank for now.
Also a couple of last minute edits regarding spells did not get saved to my sheet. I have updated it now.
Typically memorized slots can't be filled mid-adventure. HP, new powers, etc I do let you use once earned. But if you are a prepared caster, you have to prepare the slots still.
I have Twilight checked off. Mirela also is good to go.
As for Whisper, I'd like you to run her in and out of combat. If I think she would react differently I will tell you. She may have learned some of those trick naturally, and some you will have to work on during down time. She is hurt enough to be a non-factor until we are out of the barrows anyway. That shouldn't be long from now.
Looks like everyone is ready for Level 4. If you want PFS credit for Book 1, then please attach your PFS number and I'll try to get Chronicles out. (I wouldn't mind getting the GM credit, so if you're on the fence, please pop in).
Site is still twitchy.
Is the PFS number the organized play number attached to my account, or the specific number assigned to a character?
PFS number - 172834
If you need a specific character to assign it to it's going to be 172834-2.
My number is 50731-18 Sirius Löwenhaupt Dark Archive!
80693 I think is my PFS number
OK, I will find the Chronicle Sheet for first book and get them prepared. Before the latest site crash, the reporting site wasnt' working. I will see if its up as well as I have a PFS game to report.
About the PFS: we need a character at the same level (4 currently) or any character could do?
Well, after looking, the sanctioned content is really just the Gaedren Lamm parts at the very beginning of this book, and it applies to PFS characters who are level 1-2. You can apply to any character who fits that level range, or when you have a character who WILL be at that level range.
Since the Chronicle is worth 3xp, if basically levels whoever you apply it to, automatically. I will work to get the Chronicles complete today and post a link when i have them uploaded.
As our resident offense-first bruiser, I think Nargun should probably claim the ring of protection. But if he decides to pass I will throw my name into the hat for it.
If you are taking an item from the loot-pile, you need to make it clear here or in-character. NO one else can assign them to you, so if Nargun is taking the ring, he needs to say so (once he cleans up a bit). I just don't want there to be any confusion later.
I have Twilight with the Haversack, and Atticus with the Invisibility Potion so far.
I will go ahead and state that if no one is equipping the room before we leave the library, I will do so.
DoctorEvil, would the leather armor bump me up into Medium encumbrance?
If there is no objection, I will claim the following:
Wand of ghoul touch
1x scroll of false life
One tanglefoot bag to replace the one I just used
As long as there is room in the backpack, I am willing to carry any unclaimed stuff until we sell or distribute it later.
I will take the scroll of dispel magic. That may be useful to all of us someplace down the line.
Just asking about the chronicles ;-)
Sigh...room=ring.
Heh, I thought you were just being silly and saying that you laid claim to everything in the room.
I will go ahead and state that if no one is equipping the room before we leave the library, I will do so.
DoctorEvil, would the leather armor bump me up into Medium encumbrance?
It would. With the magical leather, you would be at 36lbs, and you max light load is 33lbs. If you gave up the bullseye lantern, you would at light load with the new armor.

Oops! I had already removed the bullseye lantern from my sheet, but I guess I hadn't mentioned that fact to anybody else. If sans bullseye lantern I can wear the leather armor while retaining light status, I will trade out disgusting Lamm magical padded armor with disgusting Cabbagehead magical leather armor. I don't suppose one of it's magical properties keeps it clean?

Done. Put the Padded Armor in the sell pile, so it can be claimed by one else if they wish.
A little Prestidigitation should clean it up nicely, thanks!
With the RoP, your AC is now 16.
Just asking about the chronicles ;-)
Between the site being down and a trip this week to Indiana, I haven't gotten them done yet. My plan is to complete them tonight and get them scanned and uploaded tomorrow.
I don't have PFS data from Devan or Nargun, so please send if you want the credit.
n°133884-9
Here's the PFS number for the chronicle
Thanks. My home scanner is malfunctioning, so I will have to wait till back at the office on Tuesday to upload these.
I apologize for the delay, everyone. I was at DragonCon, and thought (in error) that I'd have time to post at night after I got back to the room. Thanks for running my action, DM.
I know it doesn't matter, but I'm wondering how this works from a rule perspective. I'm wondering if I have this rule wrong in my head.
Why did the Otyugh get a AoO against Atticus?
It already used it's AoO on Nargun, so I was thinking it had used it's AoO up until it went again. So does it get multiple in one round (like it has combat reflexes) or do AoO reset on the top of every round and not at the end of a creature's turn.
The issue is not your misunderstanding of the rules, which is correct as I understand it, as much as it is my forgetting the creature already took an AoO...
I agree that without Combat Reflexes, the AoO should reset on the creature's turn regardless of where that falls in or across actual rounds.
Just my mistake. Thanks for asking, and keeping me honest!
DoctorEvil, since the bite was the first posted attack, would the opportune parry effectively nullify it? If you rule otherwise that's fine, just thinking it might have been an oversight.
You are right. I mis remembered the parry result, thinking it was less than it was. I edited the initial post, so it reads differently now. Thanks again for pointing out errors.
Sorry to ask, are the chronicles done :-)
Damn, I forgot all about them...Sorry, lots going on in my work and personal space. Will get them up ASAP.
