| Herra |
Just a heads up Redelia - Herra has picked up 'Bodyguard' and 'In Harm's Way' feats.
Simply put, she can make AoOs when adjacent companions are being attacked to 'Aid Another' on their AC vs the next attack.
Also, she can intercept the attack if she chooses on a successful aid AoO to take the full attack instead of the intended target.
My intention is to use a spoiler for situations where this may arise. Example:
AoO 1: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
+2 to AC vs first attack - Herra would take the attack instead of Baku if it hit
AoO 2: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
+2 to AC vs 2nd attack - Herra would let Baku take the damage
This format work for you? Herra can take up to 4 AoOs per round at this point.

From my understanding being an AoO, it can be decided after the attack is rolled but before the results are known. Kind of hard to do that on PbP. :-P
I have another character with a similar setup for his familiar. The way I've been doing it is simply posting it with my combat post as an 'if they attack' aspect. Similar style to how I've seen the swashbucklers do their parry/riposte stuff.

Just a head's up, Raga's player will be at a convention this weekend and be slow/unable to post. I should hopefully be able to catch up on Monday when I return, and perrmissions given to move her along.

...is everything going okay? Admittedly I haven't posted in a bit, but I can't tell if the site is broken.

I know Redelia has been pretty busy with things. There is that whole RetroCon going on at the moment.
M. Reynard AKA Ragathiel's Hand

*nod* Thank you for responding!

I have seen her posting here and there doing VL things.

I'm really sorry guys. My whole family has taken turns being sick with the flu for over 3 weeks, and so I've barely managed to keep up with RetroCon and the bare minimum of my VL job. We're all better, but needing a few nights' sleep to get over the tail of the bug, so I'll be with you guys very soon.
Pig the Runt

No worries. Flu season had a second peak this month, so everyone is suffering. :)
Baku Shaw

No worries Redelia.
M. Reynard AKA Ragathiel's Hand

All good!
I was just getting worried that my Paizo website connection was borked! Get well soon!
Pig the Runt

I think Pig got eaten by the map ala mudlord, but I'm on mobile tonight and can't interact with layers.
Baku Shaw

I found you Pig! "Brought [you] to Front". ;-)
The other two on the side should be good to go. Adjusted their orders already.

Thanks!
M. Reynard AKA Ragathiel's Hand

Sorry to hear that, yesterday was kind of rough here, too. Hope today is better.

Hope it's the transient kind of awful. :)

I *was* hoping that more people would chime in on the levers before we started shoving them back and forth willy-nilly, sorry for any posting delay on my part due to that.
| GM Redelia |
I'm sorry for the wait, everyone. I had a real life minor crisis for the past 2 weeks which created lots of stress and sleepless nights, and this is at a time when I'm already requiring lots of extra sleep because I'm 4 months pregnant. The worst of it is over, so I should be back to normal posting in a few days, and at least posting some sooner than that. (I need to catch up on some of my more time-critical games first.)

I apologize for being a little scattered as well, I took on about three too many PbPs and have noticed the hit to my participation. Some have concluded and dropped off, so things should get progressively better.
Pig the Runt
|
No worries. That's the advantage of PbP. Plus, it's not like I'm in a hurry to use Pig somewhere. He was designed for standard issue dungeon crawling, not Pathfinder investigations. :)

All good with me, i'm coming off a couple weeks of business travel and keeping up was tough last week. i have personal travel for most of april but primarily weekends so it shouldn't be too disruptive.
M. Reynard AKA Ragathiel's Hand
|
Ooooof.
Will post in nine-ish hours!
Yroh of the Snows
|
Thank you for the update.
Guys, I'm fine with pausing for the moment as long as you all are.
Pig the Runt
|
I hope she gets well soon. :)
M. Reynard AKA Ragathiel's Hand
|
Get well soon!
Baku Shaw

Best wishes and hoping she recovers well.
Not a problem to hold a bit for me.
| GM Redelia |
I apologize for the long gap, everyone. I was in the hospital for several weeks with a dangerous pregnancy complication, and then have been slowly healing at home, while also trying to visit my premature baby in the NICU. I plan to begin posting again in the next few days, although my posts may be a little slow/sporadic for a while.

#1 glad to have you back
Please do not push yourself to come back on our account. Unless you find it a good distraction for your day :) We'll be here when you're ready.
Congratulations! Hoping recovery goes smoothly.

No trouble, I’m out at PaizoCon starting tonight so my responses will likely also be delayed. Raga is in town already and likewise occupied.
M. Reynard AKA Ragathiel's Hand
|
Yeah, glad to hear both you and kiddo both doing better-ish, was worried.
Okay with delay on restart because busy at con atm, then in two weeks heading to place without internet for a few days...
| GM Redelia |
Can you please make sure I have reporting info and day job rolls, if any, from all of you? I'm going to report very soon, as our VC has requested.
I'll be trying to post regularly from now on, though the posts may be less frequent than I like for a while. Rather than daily posting, I'll probably post a few times a week. Of course, I'll be not expecting more frequent than that from you in return.

I realise that successfully casting defensively prevents an AoO but that’s not what I was talking about. Aryxis readied an Attack if the wizard cast.... which he did. My understanding is that casting defensively does nothing to prevent this.
In any case, it’s irrelevant now. I’m just trying to clarify my understanding for the future.
M. Reynard AKA Ragathiel's Hand

Casting defensively prevents the AoO, but the caster has to make a caster level check or lose the spell as the trade-off.
A readied action is valid, but it may need to hit? I kind of lost track there it happened so blindingly gut-wrenchingly fast.
Now, preparing an AoO via PlayByPost is Good Practices, imo, especially when dealing with a blind caster that you're standing right next to...
Yroh of the Snows

I was pretty sure the 14 on the readied attack missed but didn’t bring it up.
| GM Redelia |
OK, everyone, game is reported, as our fearless VC requested. I'll issue chronicle sheets (and make any needed fixes to reporting) when we finish.
I did misinterpred Aryxis's post, somehow thinking he was posting an AoO if it was triggered rather than a readied action. That attack would have hit (he didn't finish buffing himself because of how things happened), but it wouldn't have changed anything, so I won't retcon things.

Sorry for delay. Long couple days at work & wife genetic "disorder" landed her in ER.
Should have a post made Wednesday evening

I apologize if you've already seen this in another game, I am posting it to all I'm involved in.
It's unlikely I'll be able to post for a couple days. An emergent family issue has come up. Feel free to bot me as you see fit if necessary. I'm sorry for any inconvenience.

I'm getting back in the swing. Sorry again for any hold up on my part
