DM Maslen's Second Darkness PF Conversion (Inactive)

Game Master Pathfinder Maslen

You can kit out however you want for the level up to the cap of 1000gp. As I know you will be doing so over the next day.

Hp at a new level is roll your barb hit dice, add you con mod and +1hp or skill point if you take a level in your favored class. Also, minimum for you HD roll is half.

Hit points: 1d8 ⇒ 3

So 4 it is. Using the APG favoured class bonus for halfling rogues of +1/2 circumstance bonus to critical confirmations

Yes you still need to roll them. Example Tippy's minimum is 4

alright!
HP: 1d12 ⇒ 4

so 6?

1d8 ⇒ 6

Marcus HP 1d10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 1 = 8

Also, i'm guessing the loot from the fight is on top of the GP limit. We can divide here, I guess.
I'd like that Flail as a Backup weapon but since Grumm is gonna be a 2 hander, (or anyone else for that matter) i'd give him first pick.

Don't need anything else from it, anyone else name their picks or we can sell it.

DM, is it pushing the limit to much to do a tiny bit over the 30% per item

Eg 1000gp limit.
A Masterwork scimitar is 315 gp.
A Masterwork cestus is 305gp.

If no joy thats cool, just checking. Mostly cause that Flail is Masterwork (315) and the bow is too (450gp). Most likely goes to Grumm. I'll stick with my current weapons if Masterwork is too much. Maybe I'll buy a Composite Longbow instead...

If I can stake my claim to that bow and spend 200gp adjusting the pull (making the str bonus +3), upgrading my longsword to masterwork and grabbing an elixir of love and three potions of CLW... that leaves me with 200gp. :)

I'm taking fighter level. After that, I will be pretty much straight cleric.

Hit dice: 1d10 ⇒ 8

Only 25% on weapons and armor, but what about wondrous items? I am considering a cloak of resistance.

Hence my question twigs.

A 315 gp sword exceeds 30% of your wealth (just) so thats whyI asked.

Now I've got TWF I'll be sucking that -2 to attacks, so I'm trying for masterwork now, knowing I won't be able to afford 2 +1Weapons Till level 5.

For the Record I'd be chasing
MW Scimitar 315
MW Cestus 305
Cold Iron Warhammer (Or take the flail if nobody wants it)
Cold Iron Dagger
Breastplate Armor
Maybe a Composite Bow.
2xChakrams
The rest probably just misc. Gear and a potion

Okay, total confusion here. When I say 30% for weapons. That's total for all weapons. Not two at 300gp each. Originally as mentioned, the core book stated 25% to maintain a balanced PC and I have agreed to 30%. I'm not attempting to nerf you and I understand everyone's desire to be frickon damage whores but quite frankly taking balance out of gearing makes for b&%&&#+* quick fights and less enjoyment. My final rule is 1/3 so 33% max for weapons as well as armor as well as magic items. This however leaves no % for general gear. You guys can manage that yourselves.

The only variance to this is when you loot an item of a higher value. Obviously you can use it. The rule for 33% is when fully kitting out a character as I have said you have the option to do this level due to ease of access to wares in Riddleport.

Righto,

So budget is 333gp for All Weapons
333gp for All Armor
333gp for All magic items

Understood. (There'll be plenty of change from that since it's very unlikely all gear will work out to exactly those amounts. And it's enough cash so that 1 masterwork is available for everybody, so we should all be happy with that.)

I'll start sorting my gear. All other changes are done. Thanks for clearing that up.

Hmm.. seems that it's either my waraxe loses its Mwk, or I lose the chakram...

Doesn't have to be Dude. I have no objection to you taking the Masterwork Flail. 2 hand with that If you want. Use your money for what you want.

not quite. the total of a mwk waraxe and 20 chakram is more than 33%

I would like to claim the universal solvent. The rest of the loot is not of use for Ascaria.

Ascaria will take another level of witch.

Hit die: 1d6 ⇒ 6

I already updated my profile stats although I still need to choose spells and gear.

Marcus is done.

Oh. I just realized what you just said.

For now, I'd rather stick to my large axe and my chakram. Even though they wouldn't me mwk and the axe gets a -2 penalty for being large, My thoughts are that I'll be on the foreground anyways, so I don't need the range of a bow, plus the full strength bonus to damage helps. With the axe, I dunno. The thought of a 4 foot man with an 8 foot axe intrigues me.

My touch screen acts so wonky on Paizo's site that I really can't update my sheet until I return from my trip on Saturday. Equipment-wise, I'm looking to get a masterwork whip and a darkwood buckler. I'm also considering a horse.

Ok so only the bow is taken and the solvent.

If no one wants any of the other stuff we should do the usual sell off for 1/2 and split the cash.

DM now that the level ups are done and everyone is in your WBL budget, can we sell our treasue drops and shop as normal? I'm assuming we can do that for party funds for wands of healing and such?

Yep that's what I'm thinking too. I'm not going to in game test the bouncers now. They get assessed by Bojask, Hans and Beyar.

Would protective potions count as the "armor" category? I dont see much to be gained in taking a masterwork suit, so I might just pocket the difference or grab a potion of protection of arrows to prevent another injury like this.

Consumables have no cap in my books Iscarel. So feel free to go nuts. My interpretation of the magic item cap include only worn or carried buffing items that cannot be consumed.

I have a question about obtainable goods: Since it does not look like we're going to end up outside of Riddleport at the moment, Ascaria is not going for a fullfledged "survive-in-the-wilderness" gear. I would like to get a leather shoulder bag, however, in which I can carry stuff without running around town with a backpack. Can we rule that I can find one with half a backpack's capacity (30 lbs.) for half a backpack's price (1gp)?

Also, should post our complete "shopping lists" here for GM approval?

Yes and yes (if it's not listed on your character profile page)

Okay, so here is the gear Ascaria would like to buy:

Mwk Sickle (306GP)

Chalk (1CP)
Chalkboard (1GP)
Compass (10GP)
Cooking Kit (1GP)
Flint & Steel (1GP)
Ink & Quills (8GP)
Perfume (5 doses) (5GP)
Potion of Cure Light Wounds (x2) (100GP)
Rice Paper (100 sheets) (5GP)
Rope (Silk) (10GP)
Scroll of Diagnose Disease (25GP)
Scroll Case (1GP)
Sewing Needle (5SP)
Shoulder bag (leather) (2GP)
Soap (1CP)
String/Twine (1CP)
Travelling Spellbook (10GP)
Whistle (8SP)

All together it should be 485 GP 3 SP 3 CP. The plan is to carry everything (except for the cooking kit and the chalkboard) around in the shoulder bag at all times.

At the moment I can not see any armor that would be worth the while in the allowed price category.
Maybe somebody has any suggestions on armor or further consumables?

Mage aRmor and shield of faith pots

Back in town now. I'll get my sheet updated and my equipment posted early tomorrow.

Could I pick up a Swan Boat Feather Token? It's more than 33%, but it's a one-time use, so I think I could make the case that it's a consumable. If so, here's my list of equipment

Swan Boat Feather Token (450 gp)
Masterwork Whip (301 gp)
Masterwork Buckler (165 gp)
Masterwork Backpack (50 gp)
Silver Holy Symbol (25 gp)
A Pair of Chakrams (2 gp)
Waterskin (1 gp)
100-ft. Hemp Rope (2 gp)
Grappling Hook (1 gp)
Wrist Sheath (1 gp)
Blanket (5 sp)
Basket (4 sp)
Bedroll (1 sp)

Total = 1,000 gp

Sure Ethaniel, as it is consumable.

Cool. Ethaniel's sheet is all up to date.

Mage aRmor and shield of faith pots

Ok, I guess I'll add two mage armor potions and another cure light wounds potion to the mix. That'll put me at about 650 GP. Do we get to save the rest? Otherwise I'd continue shopping... :-D

Of course you get to save the rest? How else are you going to afford grog, hookers and drugs?

Point taken :-)

I think we are waiting on Iscarel to post. But I cant post till tonight if lucky. Emergency storm repairs underway.

Oh, I hadn't realized we got to save what we didn't spend. Hmmm...

Well, I think I'll stick with what I've got. For future reference, you you consider wands consumables?

Yes.

Sorry about the slow down folks. Shagged from all the work lately. Brain too tired to function. Will get back on it soon as.

No problem, Waife. As always, RL is more important than online stuff. Take your time, even if that means taking a break for a week or two.

I'm alive! I'll get a post up tonight. I've been working more shifts in the lead up to uni and I've been trying to ressurect my own PbP game, so the bulk of my D&D time's been going there.

The wheels are turning however and I wont let it slow me down any longer. I'll once again express my amazement that you manage to keep this game moving so quickly, Waife. It's bloody hard work.

Your PC interactions are so amusing, i smile most times i read an entry.

Nice touch Ascaria, fine little details add much to the game.

Cheers, Iscarel. It's been challenging since having to run both the Live version of this AP aswell as the pbp but i don't wish to drop either so may they both persist.

Keep it up, please. Of the 6 pbp's I am in this one is top 2.

I'll echo STR Ranger. Very much enjoying this game, Waife. Keep up the good work.

Working all night and morning so will make an update tomorrow when i wake up.

I have had a thought regarding this fight between Pigsaw and the Tiefling. Would anyone like to participate in playing it out. If so, roll initiatives and we will use the initiative order to take turns controlling their actions.

I like the idea and would also volunteer to play one of the two combatants. However, as is the nature of PBP, combat can drag on for a long time and I don't want to bore anybody. So I would only want to do this if everybody else is cool with it. It's also ok if we skip it. Opinions?

I'm cool with it.

cool as well
