WINNING!

You weren't skipped over -- I'm just trying to squeeze responses between (in this case) feeding pizza to a dozen hungry five-year-old girls.

Thanks, thought got left behind when the new page came up. And considering you had a special girl's birthday, double thanks for even posting earlier!

Level up.

Attack +1

Will Save +1

Question

What do you suggest for two 2nd level spells to add to my spellbooks?

What Knowledge skill will be useful for 'woodland environment and keep spying'? Knowledge Nature? Knowledge Local? Knowledge Dungeoneering?

What is normally more useful to advance Acrobatics or Escape Artist? Maybe Sense Motive or even Disguise?

Possible skill advance (not finalized)

Bluff +1
Diplomacy +1
Escape Artist +1
Knowledge Geography +1
Knowledge Nature +1
Perception +1
Survival +1 (character bonus)

Can you take Levitate? Do any of you have suggestions from Advanced Player's Guide or Ultimate Magic?

Edmin you get a +1 to Knowledge Nobility

Don't forget we get some bonuses thanks to DM having a brief soft spot when we all began.

:)

The Judge -- Sense Motive
Bref -- Bluff (I miss Bref)
Jax -- Appraise
Cуровую -- Survival

Level up.

I'll cut you a little slack and tell you that most of the next section will be in a town, not wilderness. So, Stealth or Knowledge [Local] -- which is really the old 3.x Gather Information skill -- would probably be a bit better than Knowledge [Nature] or [Dungeoneering], at least for the next little while.

As for the spells and other skills, discuss amongst yourselves.

Everyone please finish hit die rolls and amend your character sheets.

Oh: a word on character sheets. It's a help to me if you put stuff behind separate, clearly labeled headers (Feats, Skills, Stats, Languages, etc.). Some use spoilers for these; that's fine. But the main thing is that I can quickly find the information I need. If I'm quietly checking to see if you have Knowledge [Planes] and if so, how much, then it's a bit of a nuisance if that information is buried in the middle of your charsheet.

Thanks!

I just re-arranged to add spoilers everywhere, hopefully this helps you out!

I agree, I hate it when the character sheet is just cut and pasted from some character sheet generator on a home computer. Invariably finding the skills and feats is a pain and I often cannot tell if the character has an archetype. Also, many of them only list the skills one has ranks in, so one cannot tell what other skills bonuses are.

I am really trying to finish my character. Trying to decide what to do with Morsum's evolutions. Lots of options, not sure what I will do.

Levitate is on the Magus spell list but doesn't do much for them since they have few spells per day and are in melee all the time.

Glitterdust, IMO, is one of the best lv2 spells since its an AOE blind plus reveals invisible things. I only grabbed cat's grace since we've yet to see any +ability items and have no idea when/where those will start showing up. As it is it grants +2 AC, initiative, reflex, attack and damage for Jax.

For wizard, lv 2 spells, I recommend any of the following:
Create Pit (Save or suck)

SM II (Hyenas have a slightly higher to hit than wolves and also trip with their attack)

Touch of Idiocy (if we face a caster, does require you to be close though..)

Gust of Wind (Only really useful as an Arcane bond Oh S*~# spell if we find swarms)

Haunting Mists (from Ultimate Magic, this spell is stupid kinds of good. Its obscuring mist plus shaken plus wisdom damage)

Blindness/Deafness (One target...use glitterdust instead but it is permanent)

False Life (Great buff spell)

Steal Voice (20% fail chance for spells on a caster plus -4 to DC's if language based)

Edit: I'd probably take haunting mists and/or create pit from that list.

Congratulations on hitting level 4!

I would like to take this time now to categorically state that if DM ever runs Wrath of the Righteous the line forming to be a player starts behind me.

Yeh, I am trying to figure out spells as well. I am thinking of:

Evolution Surge, Lesser (gives me some nice buff's for Morsum that can be situational (Climb, Fly (at level 5), Ability Increase, Grab, Weapon Proficiency, etc.)

Haste - a great buff spell that I can cast several times. Only affects 4 people and only lasts 4 rounds at this level, but against the Captain this will be invaluable for Jax, Xen and Edmin.

I am considering taking the Simple Weapon Proficiency, which can then be upgraded with the Evolution Surge to allow Morsum to fight with the Captain's Axe or Trident, assuming one is magic. I do not think that anyone else would want these except Edmin, and for him only if it was MUCH better than the headman's axe Edmin already has.

Also, I think that I can combine weapon proficiency with Reach to give him a lot of range.

Judge how could you not take Haste?

Xen may be interested in some weapons, and maybe even Dren as a back up.

Having Morsum definitely increases your 'level up' time. I don't think I could play a character with an animal companion or a cohort, a little too much to keep track off.

Judge, if the spell affects 4 people it includes Morsum too, that's our entire melee group!

Evolution surges are always good for the ability to throw something out that you may suddenly need like swim or breathing underwater. Also, unless Morsum has power attack or other things to help him with weapons, he can probably do more by stacking more and more natural attacks (I think).

At what level can you increase his size?

ok, updated. All that I have left is one more Feat for Morsum which I appear to have forgotten at some point.

Size is level 8, but I can cast Enlarge Person on him and gain similar benefits. I took Improved Damage which makes his Bite do 1d8, enlarged it will be 2d6 + trip + reach.

I missed a feat somewhere and am trying to figure out what to do. Morsum has Power Attack, but I am not sure what else. Improved Trip would be great, but requires Combat Expertise. There are other combat feats which could be useful - Improved Grapple for instance which when enlarged, or size large + enlarged, could really tie up big opponents and spell casters.

I took Haste and Evolution Surge for my spells.

Bluff, Diplomace(DM Bonus), Intimidate, Know(planes), Perception and UMD for my skills.

Morsum does not gain any HD or skills at this level, but picks up 2 Evolution points which I went with Improved Damage(bite) and climb. I may change Climb as I think about it.

Gotta get on a flight, will think more about this later.

What the Baron said, both times.

Bernald, still hoping to be allowed to sing everyone's praises when the New Order comes to Talingarde.

Slow posting over the weekend, as I'm packing for a move.

again? are you sure you arent a criminal or something?

Worse, I think he might be a lawyer.

Fortunately, the Judge will not have that problem in a few levels, because when someone tells him to take a look in the mirror and see if he likes what he sees, the vampiric Judge will not see anything.

Sadly, I just had to cancel my PFAP subscription -- it can't be delivered in Kosovo. Doubly annoying since the Worldwound AP looks like it could potentially be the most interesting since Kingmaker.

In a sane world, they'd get Nicolas Logue to write a fair chunk of the new AP, but I don't know if he's been sufficiently rehabilitated yet.

Anyway, "could be great" != "will be great", but I would have spent $16 plus postage at least to check out the first installment. Oh, well.

DM you can still subscribe to the APs but put a hold on your subscription.

It will do all of the following

1. You will keep your Pathfinder advantage discount.

2. You will get all the books you have coming delivered together when you are ready to receive them. It may save on shipping.

3. You get all your free digital downloads of the AP activated as soon as your order is prepped to ship.

4. You get to run the AP for me when your ready.

:)

Cheers!

Simple brief contact with Paizo (Email customer.service@paizo.com or call 425-250-0800 during business hours: Monday–Friday, 10 AM–5 PM Pacific Time) will get this all done. For this industry, Paizo's customer service is considered second to none.

IDNK that! Hmm. I may have to reconsider.

Doug M.

I put the contact info from the main page in for you above, they held my subscription for nearly a year before.

Team evil please read

Cуровую made some good rolls

Stealth (Nat 20!) + 6 + 20 = 46

Perception (19) + 9 = 28

and

Straight Knowledge roll (17) + 5 = 22

DM has allowed Cуровую can ask me one big question -- in his words 'we'll parse this as you spend an evening walking around the camp, deep in thought, and something triggers an association that gives you an insight. It has to be a reasonable question'.

Other than the meaning of life, what would you suggest Cуровую ask DM in regards to our allies, the camp, or the infiltration mission we are about to undertake.

Forty-two.

Oh, sorry. Never mind.

Forty-two.

Oh, sorry. Never mind.

No, 42 is the Answer to Life, the Universe and Everything. The Meaning of Life is a fine family film by Monty Python.

hmmm

Something abot the Wolf. That dude is the most dangerous of all the baddies here

He still takes his orders from Count Bugbear.

I don't know, I was thinking more bigger picture but thanks Obi Wan Bref.

oooo how to bring goblin back!

How about whether Sakkarot realizes/knows the Cardinal has NO intention of the bugbears/army to really survive the war with Talingarde? He seemed pretty curious about our intentions but is the leader of the Fourth Knot...I had thought the Cardinal mentioned how he didn't plan for the bugbear/barbarian swarms to continue living after they crush most of Talingarde.

this thing still open? I've always wanted to play an evil campaign, never had a DM allow me to do one

DM has a talent to killing us off, he got our Goblin and our Champion once, I think each of us has had a near death experience in game, some more than once.

If you like that kind of painful fun, please stand by.

(Except I think all the players are here for the long haul. Maybe inquire if you can play our Ogre.)

your ogre?
I was thinking o of playing a mind controler psion eventually takeing the thrallherd prestige class
that or an arcane trickster
you are currently at level four right?

We have full load of six full time players right now, we just happen to have an Edilon and Ogre in tow now and then. I think other players have asked before. Ultimately its our lovely hard working DM's call.

Guys I am definitely on board, I do leave for Asia for twelve days in 39 hours, if we get to take on the captain before then, so much the better.

first off thanks for the prompt responses, much appreciated
second what are the ogre's levels (if any)
third, will you be able to play in asia?

Trying to be helpful but again this is our DMs call, and perhaps the players as a group because we are a full group right now that started.

I don't actually know what the level of the Ogre is, maybe if I were to guess Fighter 3rd to 4th?

hmm cool, well if this doesn't work out for me here, do you know of any other evil campaign that is recruiting or is at least accepting new applicants?
you never answered my third question.

Thanks for your interest, but the campaign is currently full, with six players. If someone drops out I'll post on the recruitment thread.

There are several other "Way of the Wicked" campaigns -- it's a module published by Fire Mountain Games.

The Bard may be of use.

I realize we were told he is dangerous, but now I understand why The Emperor wanted Luke alive.

What if we could use him further?

Also we should strike at the captain when we are far enough that his ship, sea and crew is not in view or hearing range.

Dren will activate his shadow armor before we leave. Do you have anything that will reduce his willpower save?
I have hold person now which could potentially end the combat quickly, unless he is no longer a humanoid.

Probably cast dust of twilight, then Hold Person...

We could break the lock to Nimpy's cage before dis-embarking and instruct him to use invisibility and then come to aid us.

Or we could use invisibility on Morsum and have him break the cage/lock after we get off the ship?

I can go either way, but once he sees morsum he will probably know we are bad and try to escape. I think better safe than sorry.

also in this instance I am happy to do a little fast forward

So far I'm seeing two votes for letting him live and/or using him, and two votes for "better safe than sorry, slit his little throat".

Edmin, Judge?
