it'll take me awhile to level up, a few days most likely.
what i have that id like to keep
Focusing crystal (+2 Autohypnosis),
two-gallon waterskin (full), (2)
one-gallon waterskins (full),
one-gallon skin filled with id fiend blood, <- pretty sure we used this for Gorkhan
quart mug,
the Warden's reliquary bonded to head chakra,
healer's kit (10 uses),
crystal staff of battle,
mul-back cords,
crystal mask of knowledge (psionics),
belt of levitation,
47 sp, 55 cp
Nnn'tkklik'l doesn't have much, and would like to keep all of the above. As you can see, there is little that is not important and very useful.
stuff i dont have that i really want
literally anything that gives more PP. WIS-boosting items, a sack full of cognizance crystals, an intelligent item that can metaconcert with me, etc. those things are, however, hideously expensive.
thoughts on story, level, 5thEd, etc.
- i like PF, and i think my abilities are rather simple and you've kept up with them well and in a way that is helpful to me as a player.
- i know nothing of 5th ed
- i'd be fine with new characters if you wanted to start it over in a different arc. it'd take me some time to make a new one, and itd almost certainly not be a healer (likely not a caster, or if a caster, a limited one).
- that said, if we restarted, i'd like to at least start higher level. maybe 3rd-4th level. but, if 1st level, that isn't a deal-breaker.
- Nnn will take another level of Vitalist. there isn't much that has synergy with it, so no real ability to multiclass.
Hmm, so it seems like the Bloodrager is pretty awesome. I'll take your advice and go with the Arcane bloodline, on the proviso that I can keep the improved DR from Invulnerable rager (the archetype also replaces trap sense for the endure elements type effect, but I'm not concerned about that. As long as I can swap Uncanny Dodge, Improved Uncanny Dodge, and the normal DR for the improved 1/2 level DR)
Gonna lose some hitpoints too here. Bye-bye d12 hit dice :(
So, 10+6+6+9+6+6+6+2*7=49+14=63
So lost 17-22 HP depending on what I would have rolled for 7th level. Hmm, might swap around some of my stats a bit...
Swapping the 15 and 13 in my Wis and Cha respectively since I need Cha more now... and changing my 4th level stat boost to con to make up for the smaller hitdice (giving 70 hitpoints). And then shifting the 14 currently in str and the 15 now in charisma. Shifted a few skill points since I lose some class skills, and lower wisdom... Taking weapon focus as my new feat, and gain Disruptive Strike as a bloodline feat at 6th level, rest of feats stay the same... now to look at loot.
1) Stuff to definitely keep:
The reliquary is an obvious choice, and I think the Amulet of Shadows will be fun. That also means I need the necklace of int (though if you could refluff this in some way that'd be cool) for stealth. Earthbreaker is another obvious choice, Raun wouldn't be the same without her hammer :D The tattoo also fits in here more or less, though I wouldn't be overly upset if she lost that.
2) Indifferent
MW Hide Shirt, helm of contemplation, seeker's war belt, and most of her other weapons. These are all functional (and I do like her to have a variety of weapons available), but not terribly interesting.
3) Getting some sort of keyword on her earthbreaker would be cool, Furious is the obvious one, but Bane, Vicious or Wounding would also be good. Gloves of Arcane Striking are making me reconsider my feat choice, so I think I'll change weapon focus for arcane strike,and put those gloves on the wishlist. Other than those things, just the standard utility stuff (the big six as they say), though I suspect that Raun is already over her wealth by level.
Oh dear, didn't think about will save when i lowered her Wis. +2 now :s
Well if all of the above is good with you GM, then I give you the new Raun

Heh, with the above changes at 8th level her earthbreaker damage (raging, arcane strike, power attack) will go up to 2d8+25. Spells may be subject to change (open to suggestions. I like the first level ones, but not set on her second level choices. Generally avoiding anything with a saving throw, and trying to keep it thematic as just being feats of awesomeness, or things that the Champion is doing, rather than Raun suddenly manifesting a bunch of magical spells).
That's not to mention the abilitiy to Auto-cast haste or displacement on herself whenever she rages :p (in addition to blur, protection from arrows, resist energy (choose one energy type), or spider climb which she can already do)
I think I'll be looking to drop down my Psychic Warrior from 4 to 3, change the rogue to slayer and add a couple of levels to it, and keep the level of Elocater. I lose the second level powers (which I only used a couple of times) and some power points, but keep the sneak attack and can use the slayer trick to keep trapfinding.
Either that or take 2 levels of slayer and add a level of Elocater. Lose the sneak attack but keep everything else and add some new abilities.
I'll think on things for a bit. I've an all day meeting though so it might be early next week before it's all updated.
Looking at my stats Grit could also use a wisdom item. Wisdom helps a number of the skills he cares about and another point of wisdom would get him a second 4th level spell, not to mention increasing his DCs by 1. I know he does not toss out a lot of offensive spells but there is the occasional Call Lightning and flaming sphere. :)
Lots of questions, so here goes:
@All: No move to 5th edition now, that was just me thinking out loud. Once this next arc is done we'll see. I expect this next piece to wrap things up for these characters somewhere between 10-12th level.
@Grit: Those level up choices are fine and I have noted your equipment preferences. To the extent that you can continue to do a spoiler with your buffed/wild shaped stats when posting in combat, that helps a lot (and don't forget to include your tigone, if possible). How about this for the feat (which I've also added to the House Rules document for future reference):
Elemental Wild Shape
You can infuse your wild shape with the power of the natural elements.
Prerequisite: Wild shape class feature, Knowledge (nature) 5 ranks.
Benefit: When you use wild shape to take the form of an animal, you can expend an additional daily use of your wild shape class feature to add the elemental template to your animal form. This form grants you the following abilities:
*Darkvision 60’
*Damage reduction 5/magic
*A 50 percent chance to ignore critical hits
*Immunity to fire, cold, electricity or acid (choose one when you change form)
*Once per use of wild shape, as a swift action, you can shroud your limbs in the energy type to which you are immune. For one round per level your natural attacks deal +1d6 points of damage of the chosen energy type.
@Nnn: Take your time leveling up - there's no rush, and I'll need a little time to do the equipment review/revamp and get some more planning done on the next arc.
@Raun: Rebuild looks good. You didn't really need to reroll your old hit dice - just subtracting an average of 1 hp for each level would be enough. Doing it that way gives you a total of 79 hit points with your new Con score. Also, have you included the +2 Str and +2 Cha enhancement bonuses from the Champion's reliquary in your stats? You may want to pick up a spell other than bull's strength due to that.
@Gorkhan: Sounds good.
HmmI figured I needed to reroll as I know I rolled over a 10 at least once. If you're happy to do it that way though then hat's fine with me.
The stats do indeed include the reliquary. I went back and found my original rolls which were 18, 15, 14, 13, 13, 11. So Str=15+6+2=23, Dex=18-2=16, Con=13+2+1=16, Int=11-4+2=9, Wis=13-2=11, Cha=14-2+2.
As to bulls strength, yeah I'm still not set on my level 2 spells.
Went with PW3 / Slayer 2 / Elocater 2
So 5 for the second level of Elocater and just added 1 hp across two levels to account for the average increase from a d8 to a d10 (rather than reroll as suggested to Raun).
Dropped the point I had in Diplomacy (no longer a class skill either) and put points into Acrobatics, Disable Device, Fly, Perception, Stealth, Survival.
Looking through the master list of items Gorkhan has:
Stuff to Keep:
Seeker's Blade, +2 steel bastard sword
Gorkhan's Blade, +1 obsidian bard's gift
Stalker's Mask
Punisher's Ring
Seeker's Reliquary
Don't care:
MW Composite longbow (+3 STR) + bone arrows (although Gorkhan with the use of his psi focus and/or some haste could almost move as far as the first range increment, further if it's a charge)
Provisions & Waterkin (I suppose I should keep it, since we have to eat and drink)
various clothing (probably just need the basics, although I suppose it can't hurt to have a change of clothes around)
Stuff to drop/sell:
Swiftbite, +1 keen bone longsword (The Seeker blade will do more base damage although the crit would currently be lower. This way I won't have to keep track of the 1 round haste on crit thing).
MW bone wrist razor (2-3 melee weapons should be enough)
MW climbing gloves (I can fly, who needs climb?)
2 blankets tied with leather harness (I still have those? One blanket in a nice backpack might be enough)
Wants
Add Keen property to the Seeker's Blade
Handy Haversack or MW backpack
Ring of Sustenance?
WIS or PP boosting items
Stealth boosting items
Speed boosting items (although I already have an enhancement, insight and circumstance bonuses)
I'm about finished with the equipment changes but would like to hear from Woki and Daina about any preferences they have. Also, try to get your characters leveled up by the end of this week. That way we should be able to launch the next arc Sunday or Monday.
Oh, I'll be away monday, which I guess for you guys is Sunday. Should only be that day, maybe two (overnight stay)
Ah, I have some time.
That wrap up was great DM!
With the option open, yes I want to rebuild Daina as an arcanist. I still intend to be very generous with haste spells, but I am going to go away from summoning to help simplify. I'm not sure what I'm going to focus on yet, perhaps more dakka.

I'm still figuring out what equipment to keep/dump and if I want to remake Woki as a shaman. Leaning that way right now but trying out options in my head.
I thought of rebuilding Grit as an Lion-Shaman druid. That would give him Beast Shape 3 powers at 6th level. Which would mean his his animal form, as long as it was a cat, would already be maxed out and he could take some barbarian levels. This is likely the more powerful path for combat. But I like his spell casting and it seems he is powerful enough in combat now. If I went Lion Shamen there are feats that would let his animal companion continue to advance even if I took other classes.
Woki, shaman seems the perfect type of flavor for your character and I would also be excited to see a shaman played at mid levels.
@Grit: I think you're doing fine as is. Lion shaman and/or barbarian levels would be a little extreme.
@Woki and Daina: Sounds good. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
I'm actually pretty much done with Daina. I'm considering swapping an exploit to pick up a metamagic featand I still need to choose my prepared spells.
Roget that DM. Just be prepared for Animal Growth at 9th level. :)
*twiddles his thumbs*
I assume Raun's new anti-spellcaster abilities (-4 to concentration checks when she threatens you, -6 if she's raging) work on psionics too?
Just waiting on any gear changes to update Raun's profile. Changing my second level spells to Scorching Ray and See Invisibility
Raun with spells. Be afraid. Be very afraid. :)
Yep, I'm treating magic as psionics for the most part, so her anti-magic static is anti-psionic, too.
Ok, here's the equipment for everyone but Daina and Woki, who are still tweaking characters (maybe). If there are no changes needed I will update the equipment lists on the Campaign Info tab.
A couple of things up front - everyone is above the PF standard wealth-by-level, although that's balanced out somewhat by the general scarcity of "Big Six" items and presence of some items that are less efficient in terms of character power per gp. That's all intentional.
Gorkhan and Raun, who both recently received psychic reliquaries, set the cap for the group in terms of loot. Neither gained much overall, although I traded out a few things. Others received a net increase in gear to bring them up to that level.

Uhh, I guess it's not too much of an issue considering I just rebuilt her, but Raun had swapped out Medium Armor proficiency for Armor Optimization, I should change that back then? If so what does silk wyrm scale do? A non-metal mithril equivalent?
Otherwise looks good, will update sheet :)
Oh! Does she still have her shield? She doesn't use it much, but I could still see it coming in handy. Especially since she can now make herself Huge. That's a big barrier :p
Hmmm with this new armor I could take cats grace and Raun would be able to get up to 26 AC (24 raging) :p too much?
Raun: I keep forgetting you swapped out Medium armor proficiency. You'll need it to use the silk wyrm scale armor (which is equivalent to mithral) but it will still be a net +1 increase to AC after you trade back Armor Optimization.
I got rid of the shield but will add it back if you want it. Any mundane equipment, within reason, is fine.
Ok Daina is all ready to go. I actually found an ability similar to her teleportation thing, although it does not function as dimension door so I can use it and still do other things afterwards in the same round.
Good to go.
Ok Daina is all ready to go. I actually found an ability similar to her teleportation thing, although it does not function as dimension door so I can use it and still do other things afterwards in the same round.
Daina, it looks like you've rebuilt as an arcanist 6. You should be level 7.
Also, you might want to choose a feat other than Craft Wondrous Item. You will be on the move and on a timeline for much of the foreseeable future, so opportunities to use it would be rare.
How's this for gear?
Changes: Lost some miscellaneous stuff, including the remainder of her cinnabar necklace, got scrolls, staff, swapped wanderer’s cloak (which can't be used with shroud of night) for ring
Helgren’s haversack
knuckle-sized obsidian orb (as pearl of power I but lose 1 hp when used)
ring of sustenance
agent’s ring (+1 deflection to AC, +2 resistance to saves)
shroud of night
messenger's staff (The wielder of this staff may cast the message cantrip as a swift action. In addition, the staff holds 10 charges that can be used to cast the following spells: shield 1 charge; warding weapon using the staff as a focus, 2 charges; fly 4 charges.)
headband of intellect +2 (Bluff) (4k)
(2) scrolls of dispel magic
scroll of fireball (CL 8)
2,000 cp of additional scrolls (can be used to scribe new spells, as well)
MW iron dagger, MW light crossbow w/ 20 iron bolts, fine clothes, a wizard’s kit, (3) one-gallon waterskins, bag of rations (enough to feed a human for 10 days), 15 sp, 50 cp, riding kank with saddle,
spellbooks, iincluding all desired spells from Lord Sanet's spellbook (all 0-level spells plus comprehend languages, disguise self, frostbite, magic missile, mount, protection from good, ray of enfeeblement, shield, shocking grasp, unseen servant; bear's endurance, blood transcription, blur, elemental touch, invisibility, scorching ray; arcane sight, dispel magic, hold person, lightning bolt, vampiric touch)
Blah, I knew I was forgetting something! I'll get her to level seven tonight when I have some time.
Gear looks awesome!
I remember Grit really wanting me to pick up some crafting feats, but if you think it unlikely to be used I'll change it.
DM is right though if we are going to have little down time. Besides, we are ahead of the wealth curve so its less needed.
I'm mostly done with Woki's re-write as a Shaman (with the Witch Doctor archetype). Only thing left really is the spirit animal stats and picking starting spell/wandering spirit/wandering hex loadout.
Ok, now Daina should be ready to go.
Woki: I realized that you lost the ability to add your Wisdom to AC when you changed classes. Would you like to have some actual armor? If so I could change the +3 armor bonus on the rattling skirt to a +2 deflection bonus, which would allow you to add a suit of +1 leather or +1 studded leather. Alternatively, changing the bonus on the skirt to deflection would stack with the Air Barrier hex if you took it instead of, say, Wind Ward.
Changing it to deflection and I'll take the Air Barrier works. I was going to go with that Hex at first anyway until you gave me the rattling skirt.
Ok, this gear should be final - if you see anything missing, let me know, and if there is mundane equipment you'd like to add, that's likely fine, as well. If there are no other changes I will get this all added to the Campaign Info tab.
It's possibly I will get a post up in the Gameplay thread tonight but tomorrow evening is more likely.

I am back! Woo, glad to hear we're about ready to start :) will readd the shield to her sheet and all ready!
So, who all has major character changes? Grit did not change. Are we assuming the each person has suddenly had time to do major retraining? Or is it more like they have had this build since the beginning. If the latter then Grit should know at least something about your abilities, right?
Woki is now a Shaman with the witch doctor archetype that is bound to the Wind spirit. I took a self-buff AC hex, fortune(you can roll twice once per round and take better), misfortune(enemy rolls twice on every roll and takes worse), and chant(add one round duration to misfortune/fortune/evil eye/fury/etc as a move action). The Witch Doctor archetype gives me channel energy like a cleric three levels lower than myself for a couple hexes, and later the ability to use one of my 'domain aka spirit magic' spell slots to cast remove curse or dispel magic spontaneously, and later still the ability to counter spell any individual once per 24 hours like I casted dispel magic as a hex.
As a shaman, Woki right now can also take another spirit(mystery) that can change every day that will give out a unique ability, a list of spells, and one extra hex from any of the spirits Woki is bound. I'll probably be taking Battle, Nature, or Life most times depending on needs.
Daina doesn't appear to change a lot, she's still a prepared arcane caster. She'll just be throwing a lot more fireballs.
Did you take that slide ability? I think that is what it is called.
Yes I took dimensional slide, so I will still be teleporting around the battlefield.
The rebuild isn't meant to be retraining, just a different mechanical way of representing the same character. Woki's still a weird little servant of the rain spirits. Daina's still a preserver, Gorkhan's still a floating psionic bard. Raun changed the most, but she's still essentially a berserking warrior with anti-psionic abilities. Her new abilities are being flavored as either psionic static she creates or psionic abilities manifested by the Champion.
Also, Grit, can you update your profile with your 7th-level abilities? I know your tigone gets big and gains pounce, and you're the first to get 4th level spells.
Working on it. I finally figured out how to add templates to Hero Lab for Shape Shifting. Its not strait forward at all. I may or may not be able to do it again. lol.
I can go ahead and do everything but the new form templates today.
Yup, what the DM said, I'm planning to fluff most of her new abilities as being due to the champion. I have purposefully taken mostly Personal spells to reflect this; it doesn't make sense for Raun to start hurling attacks and stuff (though I did take Scorching Ray... :p)
Grit's updates are made. Note that I need to check the math on the shifted forms still. Those are there mostly for reference anyway.
Also I took the sacred geometry feat. Expect shenanigans. I'll do an example to show what it's going to be like.
Let's say Daina wants to throw an empowered fireball as a 3rd level spell.
First I roll d6's equal to her ranks in engineering.
So we have the numbers: 4, 6, 3, 1, 1, 6, 6. Referring to the prime constants table under the feat for a 5th level spell (the level an empowered fireball normally is), I need to use the four basic operations of math to get those numbers to somehow equal 43, 47, or 53.
(6*6)+(4*3)+(6*1)-1=53
I have successfully found a combination of the numbers that equals one of the prime numbers for the normal spell level of an empowered fireball. I now cast an empowered fireball as a 3rd level spell, although I do increase the casting time to a full round action.
The increased casting time is negated when applying quicken spell. However, the higher the effective spell level the harder the math is. Let's say I tried to cast a quickened fireball.
1, 3, 3, 5, 2, 6, 6. Since quickened fireball is a 7th level spell, referring to the prime constants table I need to get these numbers to become 71, 73, or 79.
[(6+5)*6]+(3*3)-(2*1)=73
So in that case I would get the quickened spell off.
Also I took the sacred geometry feat. Expect shenanigans.
It is not April Fool's and that's not even close to funny. Unequivocally NO.
(Also, I really, really hope you meant that to be a joke. That feat was published less than six months ago and already has a reputation as one of the worst feats ever designed. Shudder.)
Thank you for realizing that with an elementary math degree that feat is the most overpowered ridiculous piece of crap that has ever existed. Seriously, I take 2 minutes to do some basic math and I'm basically a 15th level caster.
Still picking pieces of my brain off the floor. Let me know when you've picked something else ;)
Ok, so basically Daina is an optimal fireball thrower now.
Daina,
Can you do any type of energy admixture? What do you do against things resistant to fire?
I am a believer that a controller wizard is more effective than a blaster, but have to concede that sometimes if just feels good to blast. :)
Blasting is so much more satisfying :D
I tried doing controller wizard, but the limited summoning list was killing me. So now I'm throwing fireballs.
