With my armor, Getting extra dex would be a waste. By having my armor as Mithril I'm already at the max dex I can get. I guess I'm looking for more of a damage than a tank. Con might be a good choice.

If you want more damage with your spells get rods of intensified spell and empowered spell.

How would that work with a Magus and spell strike?

Heh. Not very well. I believe our GM is thinking from the perspective of a wizard. XD

Hmm...though I suppose it would still work if you used a rod to cast an intensified shocking grasp and held the charge before going into combat...

Yes, I suppose 42 would not have enough hands.

So is 42 buying anything? If you don't intend to get any more dex, then you should use an ioun stone for your dex and use your belt slot for CON. It will cost more now, but it will be alot easier to upgrade your CON later. Upgrading your ring and buying Dusty Rose Prism Ioun Stone are also good ideas.

If you want more power but don't have an extra hand, maybe get pearls of power so you have more spells to use.

Just saw your post. A belt might be cheaper in the long run to upgrade. Ioun stones are expensive.

With me blinking... will it interfere with a removal spell?

Yes. Same with any other spell.

Okay... Ring of Blinking lasts for 7 rounds. Since it requires a CL7 to create the Ring. No cooldown on the page for it, so I can use it almost anytime. Only for 7 rounds. When outside of combat, 42 activates it to do the tasks that he says he does.

I am working as the Society organizer at a convention this coming weekend, October 13-15, 2017. I may not be as responsive as I would like to be but will still be able to check in and post for games each day.

Please bot me until Thursday.

Hey guys, have any of you started playing starfinder? If you have not and are interested in trying it out, I'm thinking of running some starfinder via pbp, potentially starting with book 1 of the new AP. Looking for expressions of interest at the moment.

I've played and GM'd a bit of Starfinder Society. It is a nice change of pace and I like the rules thus far. I have not seen anything about the AP yet though.

I might be interested in running Dead Suns. I like to see what other people make before coming up with my own. But if you want to run I will probably play. Just know that I already started preparing the first encounter.

I'm a fan of Starfinder, but I am currently playing through dead suns with another pbp group. If you don't mind that, I'd like to play some more!

I'm GMing the first 3 scenarios. I would love to play as well.

It's been a hell of a couple of weeks...
1. My car had a flat tire.
2. Left my bag in a Taxi at the Tokyo Airport. (luckily they mailed it to me.)
3. Dropped my car key the same night in a different transportation service. Was able to locate it and took my motorcycle to retrieve it.
4. My motorcycle had a flat while retrieving my car key.
5. My laptop CPU fan went out.
6. Ordered the wrong replacement fan for my laptop...

The only good thing that happened was I was able to repair my laptop... had to blow out years of dust from the current fan... (Literally had 3-4 balls of lint in the fan.)... Now, if I could figure out where these missing screws went to....

I don't mean to be a wet blanket, but I read that spaceship combat takes a long time. Could be painful in pbp.

That's a fair point...

Hmm...if I were to run the Dead Suns campaign online live on Roll20 on Friday nights around 10pm CST on Fridays, would any of you be interested in joining? I've got the beginnings of a group, and at the rate we're going we could use one or two more. Looking to start this weekend.

Sorry for the short notice. XD

I could in about 6 weeks. Currently, have a lesson on my Saturday mornings (JST) which would be around the time of that start.

=( I think we'll be well into the game by then. But depending on how full it gets there might be room if you don't mind jumping in at book 2.

Mike, Rhon and Sean, any interest from you guys?

That would actually work out well for my schedule, since I work 12-9 central.

Speaking of which, I am posting this to all my games (apologies if you see this multiple times):

I am going to be out of town for an work conference that I was asked to go on last minute. I will be out of town through Friday (the 27th). There will be internet a the hotel, but the schedule will be really hectic and I won't have a lot of time to post.

Please bot me if I am in your game, and if you are in my game, please note that I will probably not be making an update until Saturday at the earliest.

Apologies and thank you for your patience.

Mike, we're planning on starting this weekend. If you're able to make it, see if you can roll up a character and jump in. Sending you the link to the discord channel via PM.

Cannot commit to it. Clashes with some work shifts. You kids go ahead and enjoy yourselves. :)

Unfortunately I cannot as it clashes with my current work schedule.

What time of day and what's the lighting like?

It was evening when we returned to the camp, we had one fight, retreated to get the NPC raised, and then came back. I'd say it's either late evening or night time now?

If so, then dressing like them would be easier. :) That and stealth.

Does he look like one of the undead that we’ve been fighting, or another undead creature?

No he does not look undead. Mike's suffocation worked on him. Right now he looks dead-dead.

You mess with the bull, you get choked out.

You mess with the bull, you get choked out.

It seems Rasputin can take it.

So....oracle 18 or cleric 17? Rasputin wouldn't know Golarion's gods, so I'm guessing oracle. Interesting...

I meant re*activate.

Well played, everyone. We are almost at the end.

I already have your information earlier in the thread. I will do the chronicles this weekend.

You need one more level to play part 6.
I would also like to play Ralph for one level before running the last part.

Would any of you like to run a module for level 14-16 characters?

Jade Regent 6 looks like a good pick since you all played Jade Regent 5.

I would run part 6 but I'm currently running 3 pbps on the boards, and that's about my max. If no one else is willing to step up, then I'll run one, but it wouldn't be Jade Regent, mainly because I REALLY want to play the AP and I've been trying to avoid too many spoilers (part 5 was kinda a weird beast anyway).

I would likely run something like Moonscar legacy, which I believe is 14-16. I've played it, so it would mean less prep time, but I would still need to prep it and that would give me some time to finish up one of my games (which is a short-term "Try out starfinder" higher level campaign). Realisitically, I'd be looking at being a month or two out before I could run, so if someone was ready to run sooner than that, I'd happily defer and then I could run a 15-17 or a 16-18 for the group.

Regarding Jade Regent, from what I gather, part 5 is about gathering allies in preparation for part 6.

Moonscar is 15-17, unfortunately.

I would be willing run a high tier module for the group but I will provide the following caveat that this would be only the second PbP that I have ever run. I am currently running a Carrion Crown AP via PbP and am slowly and steadily learning how things work for running PbP with that campaign.

I would happily and gladly accept tips and pointers from those more experienced with this mode of play if you would like me to run a game for the group.

I'll bend my bow to yer cause! err... I'd be happy to offer pointers.

The 2 options for 14-16 that I can see are Jade Regent 6 or Runelords 5.

I would also be happy to offer pointers if you run a game.

So is Rhon going to be running a game after this one? Which game will you be running?

Give me a few days to look things over and see what is available for the level range. I also need to be sure everyone is interested in participating.

I've done some digging and the only ones I've found are the 2 that Ralph already mentioned, and book 5 of giant slayer.

If Mike doesn't want to do book 5 of Jade Regent, I'd propose book 5 of Rise of the Runelords. It's pretty self-contained. Basically you go to a lost dungeon to make magic weapons to help you fight the main BBEG of book 6.

I know nothing about book 5 of giant slayer, but if you have access to that book, I'll leave it to your discretion. And I too will be happy to help however I can with the running of it.

I am down to keep playing with you guys, but I think I am going to want to switch characters to my Oracle, so we have some high end cleric spells (he's 14th). Since we're a melee heavy party anyway, his buffing would be really effective.

Mike/Vrog is The Empty Throne (book 6 of Jade Regent) the only book you you do not want to play?

I believe that I have played Moonscar on my main character. I'm up for any other one though.

If people really want to play, then I'll acquiesce, but I would not want to run it (especially since that way I don't have to read it, and I know we'll skip some stuff doing things the PFS way).

Our other option would be to run something in the 13-15 range, since most people's characters should be 15 at most (Assuming you guys play the same characters).

I have a preference for 14-16. Ralph is a little bit behind on wealth and has the power to cope with the lower level.

Any of the 3 options sound good.

Will wrap up this game and send out chronicles in the next 24 hours.

Keen for 14-16. Bring it on. XD

Okay, I'll get my Oracle posted up here in either today or tomorrow (I have to type him out into his profile).
