wait yeah… no video games use "hit points" or "XP"
But I get your drift. So is there a more acceptable way to say it without venturing into Mike-land as above? I mean Odric is seriously built to maximize the amount of damage he can dish out. And since combat is neatly divided into six-second intervals… you know
Belt of Physical Perfection +6 is what I'm sure all of us melee guys want.
I did some research, and built a pretty good tank. Regretfully it shows me that Sandor is going to be completely worthless in another few levels.
Anyway here is Tankette I spent the money allotted a 20th level PC with some left over
Something to keep in mind, a Belt of Physical Perfection +6 is hugely expensive, and prohibitive to make.
My personal guideline is that I try to use terms invented by table top, and eschew "purely" electronic terms.
That being the case, DPS is a total no-no. DPR is mildly better.
I'm tellin ya, go for something like "slayermaxification" or "PhD in Asskickinology" or something. We all know what you mean.
did anyone check out the link? If so what do ya think?
Hey guys,
Tomorrow night I'll be hopping on a plan to FL for vacation. My ability to post will be limited to mostly at night. I don't want to stop, so I'll make sure to post. It's more that my descriptions will be short and to the point.
I'll check the link out in a bit.
dude - If you're on vacation don't feel like you have to post.
It hurts me to say that but, come on. Spend time doing vacation stuff.
SFPBC- and good luck
this *is* vaction stuff
Hey all, I've been flat out with overtime/gigs, and haven't even begun to catch up reading posts. Don't know how often I'll get to D+D over the next couple/few days, so feel free to put DeGrog on autopirate
Autopirate. An excellent portmanteau.
SFPBC: Thanks eh.
I'll get in a solid post tonight before leaving. And there will be some down time. There are a bunch of people going.

Hey again - actually got surprisingly caught up on work, so Game On for player Re-Agh
Surprised the rock wasn't a neat d-20 cut! (or was it?)

Ha! I bet he wishes he had thought of that.

That is pretty funny
Hey Im not sure when Chris is getting back and we are continuing this. But from now till Tuesday Im have a security gig down in DC. I can usually find some time during the day to check my phone. However, I recently broke my phone charger. I fixed it with duct tape. Seems to be working. But if it stops working, I might not have time to get a new one.
Anyway, if I need to post and I havnt posted by midnight or so. Then feel free to post for Grym. (or Kappi).
I just got in. Florida was.... out of control. Yes, I did get engaged.
I spent the last day in the hospital. Healthcare in FL is HORRIBLE. I came down with acute pharyngitis. Wound up in the hospital. I'll spare the details, but the whole process included me screaming at people on the phone. Most of you can attest, I get mad, but I almost never scream at people.
I'm home now. I'm heavily medicated. I'll be back to normal tomorrow.
Glad you made it home engaged Chris. That totally sucks getting seriously sick when you arent home.
Anyone bored today? Help me create and fill in a random table.
"The Party rubs the skull and activates the summoning magic. An extra-planar entity appears before you and is looking to make a deal. It appears as:..."
Go.
Just a rule question for the smart players here. I'm looking at a possible feat combination that I think will be cool.
Combining the Feat: Improved Snap Shot, and Stand Still.... will that work with arrows at 15' and 10'
I don't think so. Snap Shot specifically says 'adjacent squares'. Not threatened squares. Both feats are cool, but I don't think they'd work in synergy.
You thinking of going ranged, Sandor?
What Rich said (Joe posted this in another forum and the conversation took off there.)
Sweet Mother... Improved Snap Shot is NUTS. You threaten and additional 10' with a ranged weapon you're proficient with? Gah. High Dex character with combat reflexes...
That's *insane*.
It's pretty cool. But I also don't generally want to be that close to anyone. Ranged.
Hmm Might have to look into that for my rogue. High dex character who specializes in throwing weapons.
It's pretty cool. But I also don't generally want to be that close to anyone. Ranged.
Agreed, and I don't need or want you to head in that direction. But it's an interesting way to lock down a room.
No Rich it isn't for Sandor. I did post this in the other game, but it was after I posted it here.
I'm looking at the build doing 1d4+41 per dagger, and lots of daggers. Since it looks like Stand Still won't work for more than Adjacent squares. I want to get a belt with like 4 special daggers be enchanted with Anchoring which is only a +2 ability
+41 is a lotta plus
So here's a little story I have to tell about three... og wait, that's a different story.
So, after learning my lessons from Serpent's Skull and the first 1/3 of Crimson Throne, I've finally hit on the best way to keep the plot fresh and relevant. In my current home game (Rise of the Runelords) I've taken to writing the adventure synopsis by subchapters. That means that roughly 4-6 hours of table time equates to a single plot summary from the text. Mike is in that game, and is in a better position than I to say if it's a good tool for remembering plot.
I'm thinking of doing the same for Crimson Throne. It's a fair amount of work, but it's not THAT bad (it involves me cutting and pasting a lot of the DM summary highlights in each chapter and redacting parts.) We're nearly half way done the OFFICIAL adventure path (I have 2 full scale side adventures picked out to help bring the party to the high teens in level.)
My question is, should I? Is it worth it?
I think it would be great. With the slower pace of PbP, it would be nice to have something to reference to keep what's happening in the campaign fresh. Exploring a dungeon can take a month or more. The synopses would help remind us of why we're in the dungeon to begin with.
Seconded. The synopsis is useful for tabletop gaming, but practically required for PBP for exactly the reasons Rich stated above.
sometimes I feel like Pipin. "So...where are we going?"
Sounds good. Sadly, Obsidian Portal is blocked at work. I'll have to do them at home. I'll try to get them together, and I'll post as I complete.
I slowed down with doing the adventure summaries, but I don't mind keeping up with them. I can pick up where I left off. They are kind of fun to do.
My recommendation is this:
Let me do chapter summaries, then simply reply to the thread. That keeps everything highly organized. I was going to reorg your existing ones into the new chapter headings.
Ok
Ragging on the game because I love it so:
I mundane gold necklace. Our sell price is 7,000 gold coins. Or...
-140 lbs of gold bars
-Four full sets of MW Full Plate with some change left over.
-It would take a civilian laborer in Golarion 11.2 YEARS OF WORK to earn that much, assuming they can take 20 every week--which means no distractions from bandits, evil demihumans, the nobility (taxes) and adventurers.
I wonder how much a pearl necklace would be worth
You're gross.
WAIT THERE'S MORE...
This is a big assumption, but let's say the prices for goods and services in the core book are double the cost (they are the prices for adventurers at an inn).
So a Family of four farmers... Figure Two full time incomes. One for the head of household and like a half for a spouse with a secondary source of income or pulling half time between household and farm, and another half for assistance from children of age... On a GOOD WEEK, They earn 24 Gold. Like, that's a perfect week.
Common Meals are 1.5 Silvers per person per meal or... 1.8 Gold per day. 12.6 GP per week in Food, leaving 11.4 Gold. Operation expenses on the farm are seemingly accounted for, so 11.4 GP is in profit. How much are taxes you figure? I think half of that is generous, so 5.7 GP of profit per week for a family of four under ideal conditions.
23.6 Years of saving to buy the necklace. Under ideal conditions.
What are each of us going to buy after saving for 23.6 years? :)
:D
Wow sounds like prices at the local markets of countries when the US Navy gets into town...... I'm just saying that if you hook up with a local the prices are always sooooo much lower
Define "hook up." Hopefully not a reference to my aforementioned pearl necklace... :-)

Had the most embarrassing and hilarious conversation explaining what a pearl necklace was to this older woman who works the desk on the evening shift. She happens to mention that her husband gave her a pearl necklace and is confused why we all find that hilarious. Another officer got all embarrassed trying to explain it and kept laughing. So I drew her a schematic.
The fact that you drew a schematic? That's the most 8th graderish thing I've heard in a long time. And I work at a Middle School. That's awesome.
Tony, your math for construction skips a couple of facts:
1. The necklace was made millenia ago, increasing its intrinsic value.
2. It was made on a plan other than the Prime Material.
So yeah it's sell value is worth more than a king's ransom, but it likely only cost a few hundred to make.
I'm running Port Godless for the Spring Pathfinder Society Game Day. You guys are more than welcomed to play. It's Tier 5-9. you need either a PFS character or appropriate level, or play a pregenerated level 7 character. I have 6 slots, and it's first come, first served.

Not so! I wasn't calculating construction on the necklace, only putting it's value in perspective. I figured there must be additional facts about it's construction to account for the value. Craftsmanship and the like.
Gotcha
Hey guys, catching up here. Internet service has been shite - can hardly run my business stuff.
I'm going to be behind the wheel or a microphone from now until Tuesday, so feel free to autopirate DeGrog (that sounds dirty somehow) sorry for the absence, hope y'all are well
Has anyone been watching the new show on STARZ called Black Sails? If you haven't you need to.
I have. I'm 2 episodes behind. Lemme tell ya. Making me want to play Skull & Shackles something fierce.
It looks like a cool AP. I definitely like the idea of a swashbuckling campaign, where dungeons aren't the typical adventure of the day. And Profession becomes an important skill for the party.
There's also a lot of leadership built into it, ship to ship combat etc. I would totally play a displaced Tian sailor and be a drunken master...
