Nooooo don't abandon the game before the level 20 cap. You have a dedicated core of players who really are enjoying the game. I mean I don't know about the Dwarven side, but I am really enjoying the game still, and a seafaring Kingmaker game sounds EPIC!
I can certainly pick up my own posting easily, although PBP combats always tend to take a while.
As an aside then, it might just be easier to bring back Talon. I think I could play him again fairly easily, and his DPR was pretty good.
Multiclassing with a caster is rough normally. With core book only, it's a really big hindrance and can be very frusterating.
A dedicated archer could be a good choice, but crossbowers have to dump two extra feats into being able to take more than one shot a round with a heavy crossbow. A longbow is just better, which is why it's Martial.
Have you considered a barbarian? They have great low-mid level survivability and great damage porential. We could also really use a Cleric, which are also hard to kill because of heavy armor and lots of healing options. With buffing spells and a polearm you could piggyback one of the frontliners and contribute a lot to our average damage when you weren't buffing or healing.
I did once look into barbarians, although that was the 3.5 days. I might have another look at them tonight after work, but I am not always convinced by them I guess.
Also, going down the Barbarian route doesn't help with the Ranged DPS issues that we are having, and still leads us to being vulnerable if we can't shut the opponent down in melee in round 1.
My post here got eaten darn it!
I was hoping Azlain would finish this guy off, he deserves to take this beast down! Especially since he did the brunt of the work with his blade lol. Granted everyone, but me, helped. I proved an able meat shield lol for a couple rounds anyway ;)
Thanks for that. I kinda expected that I'd be the meat shield since I have more HP and a higher AC, but this thing's attack bonus was so high that it would have killed me in two rounds. Your LoH let you stay up a lot longer than I would have.
Anytime lol it seems I keep doing that more and more, once I get some heavier armor i may not have to heal as often but it has been both enjoyable and hard being a paladin. Although I don't regret you getting that custom armor in Elfhome, it's good to have front liners get some upgrades and when I fell I was confident you'd have at least a decent chance of holding out.
Just didn't expect to get shredded sheesh! That guy is brutal, no mercy for e fallen despite getting chopped up by you lol! I definitely built Wil to try and outlast an enemy, comes in handy when getting blasted by a wizard . :)
So just to double check do we need Any more players CM? :D
I think we need to work out tactics again, and no more running into this bloody thing without magic. Eirel will be going full blaster mage if we decide to go further into this mine.
Just realized I've been short changing myself on CMD. I never realized you could add most bonuses.
"A creature can also add any circumstance, deflection, dodge, insight, morale, profane, and sacred bonuses to AC to its CMD."
Azlain's current CMD is around 30. pretty cool.
Yeah just found that yesterday lol...

Arcane magic is a no-no around this thing!
Yeah we couldn't d much more than what we tried....
Our tactics were rough but wit Azlain beating the snot out f t and me being a diversion it worked out.
Also have we lost Thalas?
If we need a more consistent player let me know I have a buddy who wants to join a game. Although he is being a coward and wants to play with me. :p he enjoys the stories I tell him of these games and thinks it would be more fun that way...
Let me know Cm or he may just post a build... Lol.
Also per my in game post.
My character makes a lot of assumptions but it would be neat t skin this guy and see what we can do with the hide. I am sure the mages are gonna dissect it anyway.
Also if the don't fuss with us collecting treasure than may as well collect and get the f out f that mine now the dead is done. :)
Excellent work everyone, especially Azlan!
@ cm is my Bsword still magical? Or did it get disenchanted?
If there is anything I didn't think of definitely speak up. As for tactics next time we may want to no vest in long spears and start aid another-ing people like Azlain or myself when your not able t contribute in a fight. I understand it is boring as hell but better than get chopped up by reach >.<"
Just a suggestion.
Btw what does the elven banner confer for bonuses again? Can't find the post that t is in :(
Banner is a bless effect.
Bless effect, because it fully stacks with bless spell.
(+1 to hit, +1 fear saves)
OK here is where we stand.
The dwarves have slowed to a crawl. If they can't muster more than two posters, I may start the finale without them.
Awwww sorry to hear that if you need more people i can muster up a dwarf despite the no cross contaminants in your games. I was mainly waiting to see what was going on with the question to Velma before posting further.
I have a friend, new to the boards but as good as I am when it comes to rp. I have been training him up on how to post and would offer him as a sacrifice for you CM. If you need players, I can make another and he can join the dwarves to help get things going.
Up to you. He's interested and I haven't let him read the Elven game so he is in the dark. I merely told him of what the dwarves had in their party. He was interested in playing a gnoll or dwarf. Whatever you need.
Just let me know and lets rock this game!
Come on people!
Yes! Newb dwarf sacrifice! Mwahahaha!
I am sad to hear that the dwarves haven't been as regular in posting as perhaps we have been.
Is there no way that you could simply run one of the previous groups? I remember you saying that you had massive notes on the last games you had run, perhaps you could just run the elven side, and then go from the notes on the dwarven side?
Will post a shopping list in 12 hours back at work and in nights sorry for he wait. My flight was all screwed up this time :(
Wishing very one all the very best.
Looking forwards to both spending any moneys in game and to potentially, finally meeting these Dwarfs. :)
Much cheers to all.
OK, list your purchases.
CLW Wand at 750gp for Will.
Armor Enchantment as well please. +1 Armor woot~ :)
So. we have about 2000 GP each?
I have...an idea....but I'm not sure how much the DM will like it/approve.... (>_>)
Wishing all the very best.
Ya I think right around 2k each which I think mine is all gone with the armor enhancement and wand~ =/ lol Your gonna buy a ballista on a cart aren't you? :D
Awesome. :)
I'm picturing something like this, but with a gun shield in front for protection.
Heheh =) Nice!
Will reply when I have more time to work on a suitable/fitting/proper reply.
Am in the middle of my busy week atm.
Wishing every one all the very best. Much cheers to all.
Okay...here's my idea.
This alchemical item is cheep and would seem available.
Now, after buying a "Handy quiver" to carry a good amount of ammunition. I was thinking of simply having a fixture upon a x-bow stock which would allow Suny to 'point and click' the thing. Not wanting to change any of the 'game mechanics' of the item. Just the image/them-antics of such.
It would still take Suny a round to 'reload' after letting fly with the lightning...Plus it only has a range of 20;.
Still...something that shoots 'Touch AC'. Does 1D8 Points of damage PLUS there's a chance of stunning a target on a failed Reflex save of DC 15 is not too shabby.
Thoughts? Comments?
Sounds neat to me. ;)
I think bottled lightning is ultimate equipment stuff, which we are not using :-(
Oh...bugger....
*Goes back to pondering...*
Looks like it's going to be a honking big x-bow on a cart. :P
We all still here with nothing to add or? :(
I know not what to do. It appears we are in a warzone or something, possibly looking to assault a castle or something? If thats the case, then ok, we plan something, and get loads of loot, otherwise I am a little lost.
I was too but we are here to stop the conflict so we just need to press forward that way. :) Nice post btw and Wil only stopped your Coup de Grace action. The rest of your orders are just fine~ :D
Just to let you know. We were planning on wrapping up by the end of the year or shortly after.
roger that, cm. :/
Sorry to see you go Suny. ;-;
To all.
I post here my sincerest apologies.
My apologies for not posting often enough.
I must regretfully step down/away from the PbP.
My apologies for not being able to inform sooner. I am sorry my character has not had more of an input/impact within the game.
I am sorry for taking up the space that some one else might have done far more with than I.
I sincerely wish every one all the very best and hope both this game and their real Life endeavors meet with the greatest of success.
Yours truly Suny (Aka Sunset, Aka Peebothuhlu)
Real life happens, we understand. I'm sorry to see you go when we're so close to the end, but it's been a pleasure and best wishes for you!
Best of luck. Suny will captain the boat!
(^_^)
Wishing every one all the very best for what ever the future holds.
