@Zain - yep it was the equipment. Now with the Cradle 2.0 you are 1ep over, drop one of these and you're good to go, Audio Recorder, Camera, Handcuffs, Lock Release Gun, Mini-tracer.

@Monkeygod - I understand, we'll start without you and work you in when you're ready.

My herolab is actually coming out to 1 EP under(39 EP total from Recorder, Camera, Handcuffs, Lock Release Gun, Mini Tracer(all 1 each), Smartphone(2 EP), Motorcycle (10 EP), and The Cradle(22 EP)

Im not sure where I went wrong on either end(being over or under) if I'm over then I'll drop the camera(assuming the smartphone has a camera as apart of it?) if I am under then I will increase security on The Cradle by 1.

@Zain - Send me Cat's .por file, xabulba#gmail.com,

In case you're using the free version here's the BBCoded stat bloc.

You still need 2 complications.

hmm in that case i suppose i should drop some combat power to get STR so i can have the same hit/damage but more lifting power?

Complications-

Motivation: Thrills
While originally Jo became a thief in order to support herself and eventually support those around her she has since then obtained enough personal wealth to live comfortably while also keeping the shelter running at full capacity. As such Jo's primary motivation for thievery and just generally doing anything other than the day to day work of running the shelter is the thrill of it all, whether it is the excitement of planning a heist or the thrill of the chase when someone is pursuing her Jo really only feels 'alive' when she's in her suit doing her work.

Phobia: Capture
Despite how much she gets a thrill out being chased Jo is absolutely terrified of the concept of legitimately being caught and almost certainly imprisoned, being confined to a cell being just the tip of it all as she knows that once caught all of her work will likely crumble once her identity is found

Identity: Joanna Landon // The Cat
Because of how disastrous it might be for the world at large to know that Joanna Landon is also The Cat Jo takes great pains to keep her two identities separate, only members of her crew are aware of who The Cat is and even then only those that are known to be absolutely trustworthy.

Reputation: Criminal
The Cat is a fairly well known thief, having never been caught long enough for anyone to remove her mask it is almost certainly a major sour point for those who seek to uphold the law that The Cat is still active.

Responsibility: The Shelter
While she has her crew to handle the bulk of the work involving the shelter and the cradle there are still a few things that Joanna has to attend to personally when it comes to running a large scale homeless shelter.

Relationship: The Crew
Jo is fiercely loyal to her crew, especially the younger members and those who have been with her for a significant amount of time. They are the only people she can be truly herself around as far as she is concerned and she takes any threat against them very seriously.

Relationship: Anton Marlow
Anton is one of the people closest to Jo despite not being apart of the crew, they dated for a time but have since split but remain friends regardless. Anton is a cop and a frequent volunteer at the shelter when not working. Despite how close they have been Anton is unaware that Jo is The Cat.

(If anyone is interested or Xalbulba has someone in mind I'd be interested in taking the Rivalry complication with someone or perhaps just a general background of having come into conflict with them)

@Tenro - just tell me how much you want to up your str, for each str gain you'll lose 2 ranks from Close attack.
Edit; Your attack was fine, nothing too much. As a favor in your action descriptions make sure it's clear, when using multi-attack, if you're attacking one target, many or laying down cover. If you do it's easier to determine what attack bonus'/penalties/effects the attacks have.

@Zain - if no one on the team wants a rivaily I can figure something out.

Xabulba I will (perhaps foolishly and assuming I still can adjust) be pulling a point out of Will in order to take the Inventor advantage, forgot to adjust for that before since I wanted it in order to give Jo a means of creating a few quick pieces of tech when necessary and also as a good way of explaining future upgrades to her arsenal.

As a side note would it be fine if(so long as it does not come up) when we eventually obtain more points I sort of retroactively give Jo a few additional languages? I know which languages I want her to have but the points just aren't there(French, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish which will be 3 points) not sure how strict you intend to be on the way we progress with out point spending down the road.

Also alias is up and running!

Str 9 + power rank 1 + close attack advantage 10 = 20

STR + damage
Power = damage
close attack = to hit

so if i make the swap, I'll be going
from +10 hit/+10 dmg
to +8 to hit/+11 damage?

if so, I don't want that, and will just wait for more lifting power at my next PL increase.

EDIT:

thanks for the info on the attack. i will specify more next time.

Reminder: i have the Improved Smash so hopefully that'll help me hit its gun.

When I do a multiattack, can i do the sunder (smash) and then if the item gets broken do the second attack on the enemy? If so, I'd like to do that with my first turn if the weapon is smashed from the first hit.

@Cat - I'm going to be lenient at first, I expect everyone will want to do some tweaking of characters during or after the first fight, but later on it'll take time or even a story to change. Go ahead and do the swap and we'll chalk up the languages to either very rusty and still learning them.

@Tenro - No changes, check. The "improved smash" at rank 1 gives a +2 power bonus against non-living objects. Later if you put another point into it you would get a +5 power bonus. Sorry I should have noticed this before; If you are attacking a single target with multi-attack you only attack once. If you hit you get a power bonus on the attack, the bonus depends on how well you hit. If you get 10 over what you need to hit you get a +2 power bonus, 15 or more a +5 power bonus.
You made two attacks and that's why I wondered how many you attacked but I f'ed up telling you your attack was fine, again sorry.

Sable & Zain the Gameplay thread is up http://paizo.com/campaigns/FraternityOfDOOM/gameplay&page=last. Join in as soon as you can, you might miss the surprise round.

Sorry for the delay but I have posted now and thanks.

@Joanna - If it's useful, the Astral Zephyr, cloaked somewhere above our heads could pick up your radio signal and put us in contact. That could jump-start working together.

If Xabulba is cool with it I'm totally down for that, Jo will be super bugged out by someone budging in on her comm link but it should be fun.

I'm cool with that.

so the affliction got me, "eating away at my biomass"

what does that mean to game terms? a lessened power? temporary loss of protection or impervious?

sorry I forgot to include the effect of the acid in the last post.

The acid progression is, vulnerable, defenseless, incapacitated.
with your roll you are only made vulnerable witch halves your defensive values.
Defenseless would have reduced you defenses to zero, incapacitated would have prevented you from taking any actions.

If or when you switch to your base form the regeneration power will eventually remove the vulnerable effect. Without the regeneration power it would take several hours for it to were off.

so, with my failed save, i am "-1 and staggered"

and staggered = dazed + hindered

so

i move at half speed, and get a free action plus one regular action per turn?

plus half defenses?

Wow that was a crappy roll. Yes that is correct.

Sorry I fed up again. The acid only effects your active defenses,

ACTIVE DEFENSES
Dodge and Parry defenses require a measure of action to
be fully effective. Limits on your mobility, focus, and reaction
time adversely affect them. If you are vulnerable, your
Dodge and Parry defense ranks are halved (divide their
normal values by 2 and round up), and if you are defenseless,
they are both reduced to 0!

Your toughness is unaffected. You would only have a -1 and not staggered.

good news for me.

no biggie on the mess up, i didnt catch it either

I think The Cat is up. I'm not sure if it's clear that my turn is over. Captain took a move action to join the ladies, (and a fluff only attack because he's too dazed to line up the shot.) and ATHENA took a standard.

Cat went, she set up a distraction that redirected BBM2's attack against BBM5.

Some changes to and part of my last post didn't show up when I submitted my last post. I fixed the error's, it is Chris 114's turn.

@Chris 114 - Don't forget to apply the -1 (now -2) to your resistance checks. The minuses represent how bruised and banged up you are. They only apply to resistance checks not your attacks or saves.

ooh i made the perception check. i really didnt think i would make that even with the +5 you gave me GM

I'm about to go on vacation. I will post as much as I can; with luck I will be enjoying myself too much to look at my phone and lament the spotty internet connection. I should be back online Aug 4.

Hey Xabulba when my turn comes around could Jo make an attempt to disable or otherwise muck with the turret using a technology roll?

Yes, the DC would start at 20 (you are under fire) and I'll treat it as a progressive effect; impaired, disabled, incapacitated.

Awesome! 20 sounds pretty reasonable, though isn't Jo actually the only one NOT under fire or is it just that I am not under fire YET :P?

You're only out the firing arc of the turret you're hiding behind, the other can see and will fire at you.

I'm back from vacation! reading to catch up now.

Woohoo! I waas worried we'd lost out spaceman

Not a chance. I love this game.

Apparently I wasn't as clear as I should have been about what was going on. Also, I saw Gardians of the Galaxy today. So I am extra jazzed about Comic-book spacemen!

We are Groot!

I finally understand metaphor.

yeah after watching the movie i REALLY want to play an inventor like Rocket, hahaha

Saw GotG yesterday, It was everything I hoped it would be. The only thing I didn't like, because I'm old and read the original GotG comic in the seventies, was what they did to Yandu.

Heh. Agree with Squeee.

I need to find a way to see it again.

posting this in all 28 of my games (although some of them are dead, i am pretty sure... and others are quite slow so my absence will not be missed overmuch):

There are two hurricanes heading for Hawaii, where I live. One is supposed to land on Friday after being downgraded to a tropical depression, the other is supposed to land Sunday with experts unsure as to how much it'll be downgraded after colliding with the mountains.

I'm sure everything will be fine, so no need to worry. People are freaking out for some reason, but I remain in a state of relative readiness.

I anticipate a loss of internet, at a minimum (they can barely keep it together under optimal conditions). Likely loss of power as well. A time without electricity could last anywhere from four days to four months (with some time around one to two weeks being more realistic).

I'll be on between now and then, but if i just disappear, check the news, hahaha.

Oh shoot, well I hope everything turns out alright for you Tenro with any luck it'll end up just being the minimum loss of power and no damage to your home/neighborhood. Keep safe!

yeah i'm up on a fairly big hill just over a mile from the ocean. should be just rain and wind and i have renters insurance so i should be fine.

Ah alrighty, always worry about people who might be near the water after Sandy, my brother lost his whole house his card, his wife's car, my nephews car, and his motorcycle because they lived literally right on the water

Good luck Tenro. Hope you have minimal inconvenience, and we see you back on soon.

Hey Cat, I think we are waiting on you to take an action. The Hero point takes no action generally, so you can still bust some heads... or deactivate some tech or whatever.

As long as whatever you do is not "Strangling the meat spider"... I don't think anyone could handle that.

My wife caught me checking in on my phone last night. She started calling this "The Family of Doom", Sigh...

Hahaha

Im 100% ok with this

Hi, folks. I will be at GenCon from Wednesday until Monday. Please bot me as required until my return.

@Tenro: How you doin'?

oh i am alive. the first storm veered south, the second north. big island got hit really hard but shielded us.

I,too, am headed to GenCon, but I should be able to log in except Friday and Saturday, when I'll be running games all day/night for Paizo.
