Hey guys, and RichD in particular... In the interest of saving time for pbp would it be ok if future exploration the GM does a stealth check and perception check if Kurag is going to be 20 ft ahead scouting? I just don't want a day spent of Kurag moves up and scouts, Kurag sees something, Kurag comes back to the group. If we can skip that time consuming part I am good with RichD rolling for me. It might mean we enter combats a bit quicker on a failed stealth check but hopefully if I keep stealth maxed and increase dex then we won't run into that scenario too often.
FYI busy 2 days for me so may not be in that much. Thanks for the diasable check and please continue to do wo as needed. I will try to check in tomorrow afternoon.
At saddle is really awesome but way expensive. Thinking that Kurag will use it for the time being but then sell it so we can all get some more money.
That +5 to ride checks and a maxed out ride skill would keep Lucky around a lot longer with the mounted combat feat.
Starting tomorrow, I will be visiting with family for two weeks so I will not be able to post regularly (if at all) until the beginning of October.
Good luck and have fun
Chadius, we're in a lot of games together! I did not realize.
I too will be on vacation from Friday until Monday. Greta will try to channel as soon as she is able, or five feet step back and heal herself if she can.
Before we get too far who wants the belt of dex +2
You would think with a name like Giantslayer, this game should have a belt of Giants strength eventually! :D
I and my mighty thews are waiting patiently for one to come along...
I wasn't going to claim it as I already have a heavy load belt and the horse master's saddle is ungodly.
If someone wants the heavy load belt I will gladly take the belt of dex but feel bad for getting 2 really nice items already.
heavy load belt: continuous ant haul on character
Greta might be a good candidate for the Heavy Load Belt, just in case she's got to haul an unconscious dwarf out of the firing line to heal you.
If that is ok with everyone then I will be glad to claim the belt for Kurag. Thanks everyone.
We have an opening for a martial character in our Rise of the Runelords if anyone is interested.

I may be too familiar with the campaign having read it when it first came out and run the first chapter. But it is a lot of fun.
What books are allowed? I have an idea for an invulnerable barbarian with the dragon rage powers.
Here were the original guidelines but we have a new DM so he might be willing to expand it.
I don't see anything about which books only core races and no hybrid so it looks ok. I will get something together shortly for you to see and pm you.
I have two games that I need replacement players for (Kurag is currently playing in both). These probably won't kick until full swing until the beginning of the year, but if anyone is interested:
Council of Thieves. Just finished book 2 and getting ready to start book 3. We have a fighter, so looking for a healer, mage, skill monkey and another fighter-type.
Serpent's Skull This campaign hasn't started yet. I already have a witch and a rogue, need two fighter types and a healer.
Basic character creation guidelines:
- 20 point character buy. All scores 10 or greater after racial adjustments.
- Pathfinder Core Rule Book & Advanced Player’s Guide only.
- Two traits.
- Maximum gold for 1st level, maximum hit points all levels.
- Alignment. LG, NG preferred. CG, LN, TN acceptable. NO CN or evil.
(Now having played with you all, if there is something you want to do, outside the above, run it by me.

For Council of Thieves, I have an NG level 7 duettist bard. I made him to join a different AP that ended before its first combat. What level are you looking for (it looks like 4 or 5?) I can rebuild/adjust him to join.
I'm thinking about a NG Fighter 1/Bard 7/Eldritch Knight X or maybe a TN Gnomish Shaman.
Tell me which one sounds the best for you.
@BB: All sound good. The only one I have is Kurag's character (Tal)who is a tank - High AC & lots of HP (Fighter 3/Ranger 1). So currently the field is wide open. If you want your bard to fill the skill monkey role - that would work or the shaman for the mage role, or your fighter/bard to support the tank. You will be starting at 5th level.
Hmmm...
Well, off the top of my head, I would be leaning towards the following:
Council of Thieves:
Cleric(Channeler of the Unknown)* 1 / Rogue (Sylvan Trickster)** 4, if you will allow the archetypes.
*From Antihero's Handbook
**From Ultimate Wilderness
Serpent's Skull:
Possibly a (vanilla) Summoner, or Inquisitor...?
Really looking forward to continuing the Council of Thieves campaign wit some of you. As RichD said I have the ftr tank role down with a tower shield specialist. Glad to see some interest with you guys!
OK...So BB will do a Bard Duettist for COT.
@Sergei: I am good with the archetypes for COT and for SS both of those would work. It is set on a 'deserted' Island/Jungle so if you want to add some flavor to either one of your choices-go for it!
I've run CoT for a home game, so I'm not going to put forward an idea for that one.
But I have an idea for the SS game - a big game hunter coming on board the ship in Bloodcove. Originally from Cheliax, possibly even having done some work for the Aspis Consortium. Neutral and a bit mercenary in outlook - trying to find a bit of wealth and the best trophies of the most exotic creatures. Has ambitions to lead hunting expeditions for people with too much money on their hands (and willing to pay an expert).
Probably looking at a ranger with the archery fighting style - since that fits the needs of a hunter well.
lol I had the same idea but with a gunslinger instead of ranger
Just an FYI...
This Wednesday, 12/13, I will be going out of town to visit family with almost no access to the internet until the end of the year. So hang tight and I'll see you all in 2018.
Just to keep the Holiday Season going a little longer, you are all now 5th level! Please update a summary of level here in the discussion thread.
nice. Will get the update shortly.
Not many changes this level -
Took Steel Soul feat (+4 on saves vs spells/spell-like abilities instead of +2)
Added to Survival, Perception, and Intimidate skills - also learned to jump better by investing in Acrobatics
One level closer to multiple attacks. One. Level. Closer.
Lvl 5 update:
3rd level of ranger
+10 hp
+8 skills (6+1int+1fc): acrobatics +1, disable device +1, perception +1, ride +4, survival +1
bonus feat: endurance
5th level feat: mounted combat
favored terrain: mountains
+1 will saves
+1 bab

Since I got Hero Lab, I decided to Audit BB before I level up:
I should have max 26 HP, not 27. (I added a Favored Class Bonus to my level of Monk)
I have only spent 20 skill points - I should have 22 spent.
Spellcraft +1 (now +9)
Climb +1 (now +6)
I can't have 2 campaign traits, so I'll drop Vexing Defender. This lowers my Acrobatics bonus to +6 total.
I will take the Helpful trait instead.
I can't take Elven as a starting language, so I'll take Undercommon instead. With the Linguistics skill, I'll drop Sylvan for Elven.
---
Now that we've taken care of that, let's get to level 5.
1 level of Wizard puts me at 4 Wizard/1 Monk.
Extra Feat: Tougness
BAB: +1 (now +2)
Saving Throws: Will Saves +1 (now +7)
HP: 4 Wiz + 1 Con + 5 Toughness + 1 Favored Class Bonus (now 37)
Skill Points: 2 + 3 Int = 5
Acrobatics (now +7)
Knowledge (Arcana) (now +11)
Knowledge (Nature) (now +9)
Linguistics (now +8, adding Giant as a bonus language)
Perception (now +8)
Spells:
1 more 1st level spell can be cast per day (now 4/day)
1 more 2nd level spell can be cast per day (now 3/day)
2 new spells added to the spellbook
Bull's Strength
Glitterdust
Greta was pretty simple.
I took Channel Ray as my 5th level feat.
I don't think I have ever come across this before. The creatures are using flyby attack
How does that work with readied actions?
The readied action still goes off on the attack. The flyby attack just prevents someone from taking an aoo against them. At least that is how I have always seen it played out.

That would be my assumption as well. Readying attacks tends to trump feats that avoid AoO or that allow movement to be segmented.
But I don't think flyby attack even avoids an AoO - the invisibility of the monsters does that. I think flyby just allows them to be out of reach both before and after the attack, assuming they have sufficient movement.
@Bormann: Correct. Unlike Spring Attack, Fly By Attack does provoke AoOs (since it lacks the phrasing that it 'doesn't provoke AoOs').
Cool! Thanks! I always want to make sure I am interpreting the rules fairly.
Anyone have the Legendary Planet AP and is interested in taking an established group on as DM?
I will be away visiting family for the next two weeks, so I might not be able to post regularly if at all. I should be able to resume on 05/01.
As a DM you always think you have an idea of how players will do something or how you would do it if you were playing. I would have tied a rope around Bormann or Sergei and sent them into the chamber. If they make their save, they don't have to worry about it again for that particular plant and if they failed, the others would pull him out with the rope, wake him up and send him back in again!
Hey all I am in need of a replacement arcanist for my wrath of the righteous campaign that I am running.
By the time I can insert you into the campaign they will be 11th level and mythic tier 4! This is a chance to try your hand out with high level characters and mythic at the same time. PM if interested and I can give you more build details at that time.
Anyone know what happened to Sergei? It has been almost a moth since he posted. It seems like he might have dropped out of my CoT game as well.
No idea here.
Heads up I will be out of town this upcoming week from Monday to Friday so will not be able to post. Fire at will if any creatures need to be taken out. Otherwise I am hoping we are done after this fight and can open that chest!
Hi all,
I was Gnok (druid) when this campaign started, and with notice, dropped all the games that I was playing in back in, and half of the games I was DMing November 2015.
DM Rich is a player in one of my campaigns, and asked me if I was ready to play again, as Sergei had essentially left, and I agreed that it was time to get back into playing, so I present Rask Hammersong, Weapons crafter, Fighter -> Paladin who is on a mission.
I am still working out the details, but have enough done that I can jump in any time that is convenient for the group.
