Knowledge local is the best way to know about hard knowledge but they aren't obscure. You can make assumptions that are reasonable but without a hard roll you run the risk of not getting solid information but as well potentially misidentifying it's traits... there are different strains of really classic monsters like werewolf and vampires after all! It'd suck to go hunting werewolves loaded down with silver only to discover you should have brought golden bashing weapons!
Got it.
How much gold did we earn from our dungeon excursion? Also can I buy Weapon Blanch in our territory?
1... I'll leave the calculations to ye.
2. Yes

*The objects on the Pedestals
There’s the map. All objects went into our museum. Will have to do the math later.
We should keep the goggles of minute seeing and the fire elemental gem. Amadeen volunteers for the latter if no one else wants the job. The noqual we really ought to make into armour for someone, I think this got discussed before.
I didn't see a combat map. How far away is the werewolf?
There is none, assume you can get to it with a charge action.
So does anyone have any issue with Amadeen taking the ring of sustenance? It's pretty handy for a caster.
Also, the loot sheet is in the trash. I've made a copy, though I think we might not have added the last few acquisitions!
No issue from me. Take care of the full casters so they can take care of you!
You guys will be leveling up soon! Two or three more encounters should do it.
Great stuff!
That I like to hear :D
Alright! Love the pace of Kevin's games!
Also, the loot sheet is in the trash. I've made a copy, though I think we might not have added the last few acquisitions!
I've just requested access to your copy.
If we don’t want to deal with the loot sheet, why not do automatic bonus progression? Kevin just needs to drop interesting and unique loot. And we assume all lesser loot (like the plethora of +1 weapons we will inevitably stumble across) go into the kingdom armory.
I'm not a huge fan of it but if a majority of the players want to go that way I can accommodate.
I use it in one of my games, but I've never had an opportunity to run a PC with it. I'm game to give it a try in this campaign!
I'd also like to go for ABP.
Seems like it’s a go. Given that Eluvias has a black blade, I suppose that he will start carrying a bow too
Alright!
Lvl4 ABP:
+1 Resistance
+1 Armor
+1 Weapon
Current Equipment
* Black Blade Scimitar +1
* Buckler +1
* Silken Ceremonial Armor +1
* Wizard’s Kit (This kit includes a backpack, a bedroll, a belt pouch, a flint and steel, ink, an inkpen, an iron pot, a mess kit, soap, a spell component pouch, torches (10), trail rations (5 days), and a waterskin. The kit does not contain a spellbook because a wizard begins play with a spellbook and does not need to purchase one.)
* Amulet of Natural Armor +1
* 784 gold
———
So ABP would replace the +1 on his Buckler and Armor. His sword is not affected. So...
Eluvias’ AC goes down by 1. He gains +1 to all Saves.
Will use the 2k gold that would have gone onto my armor to instead put Returning onto a javelin. Eluvias will now have a Ranged option that does 1d6+level in damage. Nothing to write home about, but better than nothing. And he won’t be useless against enemies immune to slashing
So we're selling current gear at 100% to transition to ABP?
It makes the most sense to me.
ABP replaces +1 weapons, armor, cloaks and rings.
So it makes the most sense to just tranisition the cost to something else in as smooth a way as possible
But ABP also cuts gold in half, doesn't it? I mean, I'm not complaining AT ALL if we're selling for 100%, I just want to be sure I'm doing it correctly.
Ah. Good point!
Ok. WBL for lvl 4 is 6000 gold. 1/2 goes to ABP (+1 Weapon, +1 Armor, +1 Cloak)
I have an amulet of natural armor (2000 gold) and put returning on my javelin (2000 gold). That’s 1k too much. He also has about 1k gold saved up. So without returning he is almost at WBL.
As such...dropping Returning and that puts me just about where I should be.
And because I can’t get returning, for my ABP Weapon I’m going with a Cestus. So Eluvias will use his Black Blade to fight. But if he ever can’t use it for whatever reason, he has a backup. That, and he can now do slashing, piercing and bludgeoning damage. So no more repeat of the ooze fight where he was completley helpeless.
It'll be at least tomorrow before I get to update Amadeen.
I think there's an issue with the amulet of natural armor, too...
Items that only grant bonuses to AC, saving throws, and ability scores don’t exist [when using ABP]
Hero lab, for instance, won't let me purchase amulets of natural armor, cloaks of resistance, or wisdom headbands without an override.
Good catch! Thanks for pointing that out. Forgot about that. Natural armor bonuses come at lvl8...gives me 2-3k gold to work with.
Will drop my amulet as well (another -1 AC). Picking up a wayfinder with a cracked orange prism ioun stone (+1 lvl0 Spell: Grasp)
As for what the Wayfinder does...
“Stone knows a 2nd-level arcane spell. If the bearer is a caster who prepares arcane spells, he may prepare this spell as if it were in his spellbook. If the bearer is a caster who spontaneously casts arcane spells, he may cast this spell as if it were a spell he knew. This has no effect if the spell is not on his spell list or he cannot cast arcane spells.”
Casts the spell Storm of Blades. Because it is a cool spell for a Magus to have.
How about you guys can take half the level 6 wealth to rebuild your gear since you are almost there anyway? I'm not necessarily going with this but it's an idea. I'm open to suggestions.
Sounds pretty good to me. Though what happens with consumables? Keep them as is, or rebuy separately?
We are essentially starting over with the loot sheet. The simplest thing would be to simply start from scratch, wouldn't it?
Yup
So we're rebuilding using ABP and 8,000 gold. I'll try to finish that by tomorrow.
8,000 gold?
Wayfinder with Ioun Stone: 1500
Spellguard Bracers: 5000 (The bracers grant the wearer a +2 bonus on concentration checks made to cast defensively. Three times per day, the wearer can choose to roll a concentration check to cast defensively twice and take the better result)
Muleback Cords: 1000 (FINALLY get to use these. Loved the idea but they could never compete with cloak of resistance)
Left over gold: 500
Yea I believe that's what's on the table:
How about you guys can take half the level 6 wealth to rebuild your gear since you are almost there anyway? I'm not necessarily going with this but it's an idea. I'm open to suggestions.
Subject to Kevin's final decision on the matter... A level 6 PC has 16,000gp, so half of that would be 8,000gp.
Some GMs also impose rules such as "No more than 25% of total wealth on any one item" or some such.
Starting over would make sense then!
Hopefully done tomorrow evening.
So, what's the final story on which rules we're using for magic items here?
Automatic bonus progression with 8,000gp for other items.
Cool. I might have missed a few mundane items but I think this covers most of it.
Ring of Sustenance 2500
Masterwork Silver Dagger 322
Masterwork Cold Iron Dagger 304
Masterwork Light Crossbow 335
Silken ceremonial armor 30
Handy Haversack 2000
Wand of CLW (25 charges) 375
Same, and here's what Johund's looking like:
mwk keen dagger x2 - 4,604
cold iron dagger x2 - 8
silver dagger x2 - 44
sling - 0
warpriest kit - 16
mwk agile breastplate - 550
boots of the cat - 1,000
aegis of recovery - 1,500

AC 22 T 14 FF 19 without buffs, might now be able to crit something, can fall from great heights like a champ, and is hopefully harder to kill.
A few thing came up this weekend which was set to be quite busy as it was (including my car breaking down) so free time for PBP hasn't been in abundance. I will be posting tomorrow in all my games. Sorry for the delay.
I'm confused which hex we're on right now, but GM's plan sounds fine to me. Explore, Reform, Convert!
I thought we had been heading east?
I'm also not sure of the current hex.
Ye are in 0707 so east would be 0808 as it turns out. I put the blue flag down for your current location when we are doing exploring.
Okay, I'm updated for ABP. Fancy new shoes!
I'm going to have to apologize. I put in a post withdrawing from the game several weeks ago and it obviously got eaten. I certainly didn't mean to look as if I'd ghosted on you.
2019 has hit me hard and I don't have the spare time I had so I'm dropping most of the games I"m playing to concentrate on those I'm running first.
That's unfortunate Barek. It was fun having you about. I hope 2019 improves for you.
I really hope so. A couple of the games I've left were pretty much dead anyway, but I've had to drop out of several that were fun and ongoing.
I'm pretty much down to just the games I run and a couple I"m still playing in, for now. :(
It was fun playing with you Barek. Take care, and enjoy running
your games. :)
If at some point circumstances change and you would like to rejoin the game with Barek or another character let us know. Is it ok with you if Barek just fades into the background and does his government job (assuming another PC doesn't want to switch into it)?
Does anyone have another player they know might be interested or should I start looking?
