GM Captain Trips - Kingmaker! (Inactive)

Game Master Chad Newman

A head's up for everyone, I'm going to be away this afternoon, running a PFS special event tomorrow, and dealing with my home game of Skull and Shackles on Sunday. So I'm fairly out of the loop until Monday.

New loot split

By the way, we've still got two gems of unclear value and a stag amulet not dealt with since the first split. Would one of you Appraise-savvy fellows care to deal those out with Oleg, when the other group returns?

Oops. Should be publically accessible now.

The loot splitting sheet now has a "Paid from pocket" field if a player wants to add gold from his own reserves to compensate for a larger claim.

When we return, will there be down time as well, or should we go right into planning the next expedition?

The returning party will have about five days of downtime. You did a lot more exploring than the previous party.

The returning group will need to level up as well and either request an account on the Wiki to update your character or give me the changes and I'll do your update.

The group should also figure out the party split, do any purchasing and selling, etc.

Exploration map updated

Stolen Lands Mapping

I could use a wiki account, but I'm not seeing where I can request one.

You request it here :)

I'll get one set up.

I would also request an account, please.

Taking my second level in Cavalier, which gets me BAB +1, Fort +1, Order of the Blue Rose Order ability {Flat of the Blade (Ex): At 2nd level, the cavalier of the order of the blue rose gains the ability to moderate his attacks in order to take an enemy alive. He no longer takes a –4 penalty when attacking with a lethal weapon to deal nonlethal damage. When dealing nonlethal damage, the cavalier receives a +2 bonus on damage rolls. When the cavalier makes use of this ability, he must attempt to subdue his target without killing it; dealing lethal damage after using this ability, or allowing his allies to kill the target, is considered a violation of his edicts.}, +1 to my Challenge damage, Seven skill points (I'm taking my favored class bonus in skill point again. {Skills: Climb (class skill for Cavalier), Diplomacy, Handle Animal, Knowledge (history {class skill for Order of the Blue Rose}), Linguistics (Draconic), Ride & Sense Motive})
Do you want me to roll for new Hit Points, Captain?

edit: Once they return, Rufus will be talking with Oleg about commissioning a Banner & ordering a spear with mountings points on it for the banner. I'll have to think about exactly what I want on it but suggestions from other players will be heeded, the banner will need to be one everyone will recognize as 'friendly' after all.

I've updated the Wiki already

Will's second will be in Cleric
no BAB bonus, but +2 Fort and Will, SP going into Know: Nature, Perception, and Sense motive
PFS HP gain
Channel positive gained
Fire bolt and rebuke death gained
yay for more spells

Karse takes a 2nd level of paladin.
+1 BAB, +3 Fort, +2 Ref, +3 Will
PFS HP gain
SP going into Intimidate, Heal, and Survival (favored class bonus went to skills)
Gain divine grace (Cha bonus applies to saves)
Lay on Hands (heal by touch; 1d6 hp, 4/day)

Trips, can we take feats from the ISWG? I'm looking at Harmonic Spell for level 3.

Yes, ISWG is fine to use.

Rufus, you can roll your HP or use PFS rules, your choice.

Karse, I'll get an account set up shortly and the information mailed out to you.

Rufus, for the spear, are you looking for something of masterwork quality or just a fancy conveyance for a banner?

2nd level HP: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7HP. Eh, only one less than PFS. I'll take it.

I wanted a flagstaff that I could use as a weapon if necessary. Rufus expects that at some point things are going to get bloody & he is trying to be prepared. Given the out of pocket costs, probably not masterwork at the moment.

I'll take a wiki account as well :)

Shouldn't be too difficult to fashion something along those lines. Figure a day or two of work to get it completed. Cost would be 50% over the normal price for a standard spear or longspear, whichever you are planning on using.

Spear, Longspear requires two hands to use in combat.

Winifred will naturally be taking another level in Sorcerer.

2nd Level HP: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 HP Sweet, max HP roll, I'll need it.

She will additionally gain +1 Will save, and will gain a 0-level spell I'm thinking Jolt if that's alright, otherwise, she will learn Ray of Frost.

I put ranks in each of the skills she already had a rank in, and the language she will learn from linguistics is Draconic.

Jolt is fine. Any spells from Ultimate Magic are perfectly acceptable as well.

I take it you are putting +1hp from your favored class?

Hp and Skill point, as Winifred has fast learner.

Ah yea, forgot that one.

Castor, I tried to answer your question through my post, I can go into more detail if needed.

Should i do some downtime rolls for Hadin's work as a carpenter?

Haha, got you clear as day. That's interesting. A cleric of dawn and a cleric of stars.

The party will have a protector at each hour of day, it seems.

My god's friend's cleric is my friend.

That was part of my thought process for picking her. I didn't want to do Desna, since we already had one, Erastil and Abadar wouldn't stand Will's chaotic nature, and that left Shelyn, Cayden Cailean, and Sarenrae. Since I already have a priest of Shelyn and an inquisitor of Cayden Cailean, that put Sarenrae in the top slot. The dynamics of the sun/stars and that she'll work well in a wilderness setting were all gravy.

Not required for what you were doing to assist. I did give you some Labor capital for your work on the shine.

That is just if you confine yourself to the Core 20, Will. There are a lot of other NG & CG deities available, even more if you opt for CN as well.

Heck, Chronicles of the Righteous alone has 37 empyreal lords that a CG cleric could worship, but I don't think Will would be very familiar with them.

I'm only aware of the deities from the CRB. I haven't looking into anything about empyreal lords.

You are correct there are others that would fit the alignment for Will, I did not see him fitting with Gozreh, Pharasma, Gorum, or Calistra. I did think about Nethys, given my plan for being a Mystic Theurge, but I've never been a fan of Gods of Magic ever since reading the FR and Mystra.

So we have a Mystic Theurge and a Spherewalker. Anyone else going for a prestige class?

Perhaps eventually; we will see. I could easily see Karse becoming an Assassin. (I'm kidding!) Seriously, though, I would consider Stalwart Defender or a Holy Vindicator. Celestial Knight (from Paths of Prestige would certainly be an option), if Trips permits it. Perhaps the coolest idea would be to combine two of these prestige classes!

I'm not really aiming towards one right now, as the ones I would be most interested in won't really suit Winifred's character or role for now. I may have to do some research to find a Prestige Class that fits, but for now the one that might fit best is unfortunately a Wizard PrC, not a sorcerer one.

There's bound to be a 3.5 PrC that fits her better however, such as Rainbow Servant from complete divine.

If it is a Paizo product I'm pretty much ok with just about anything, no real restrictions there. Just no 3rd party stuff.

And nothing 3.5 either. This isn't D&D, and 3.5 was balanced towards a completely different set of rules.

I might go Shadow Walker with Theod, still up in the air about it though.

Just a heads up for my gamer friends.

A combination a poop-ton of work and my wife losing a family member yesterday have made it difficult to get on the boards and post. This little crazy time should alleviate sometime between now and Saturday, and hopefully I'll be able to get something on the boards very soon (like tonight).

Thanks for the patience!

All my condolences, Brom.

Take your time, I don't think anyone can blame you.

My deepest sympathies to you and your wife Brom, take care of your self and your family.

Was the potion Rufus fed Will one of the potions from Bokken's satchel?

Also, did Team Trapdoor Spider find other loot beyond the trap spider's loot and Bokken's potions?

I believe it was, and have no problem with it coming out of my share.

Yes, that is all the loot we found.

Karse also used one of the potions from the satchel.

Also a cure light?

I'd consider the potions drank presplit as party expenses as opposed to part of anyone's share, myself.

I'm fine with that if everyone else is.

I was trying to read up on UC downtime off the website, but was kind of confused over cost/downtime resources. If Will was to try and have a shrine to Sarenrae commissioned, how much would that cost in GP and in goods/influence/labor.

Shrine

Create 3 Goods, 1 Influence, 4 Labor, 1 Magic (270 gp)

So its basically 8 checks for materials, followed by a cost.

I agree, though Karse is more than willing to pay for the potion. I feel that any potions which are used to better defend the party or to save a life should be considered party expenses.

OK, since Will has 4 goods and 3 labor, once he acquires another Labor, an influence and a magic, he can spend 270 GP and a shrine will be created? Is there a time frame for how long it takes?

What about bigger buildings? Thinking long term here, if I wanted to make an inn, that needs like 10 different rooms. Would I need to make them all at once, or can you slowly add onto things and eventually finish it off? Like start with a Bar and sitting room, then add kitchen/bathrooms, and then the actual bedrooms later...

For some info on this see Downtime Rules and it should get you started. I'm using these rules in conjunction with the Kingmaker rules.

You can start buildings, and then slowly complete them. When we get to that point we will likely have many discussions on how that will work.

I would like to propose a motion:

I suggest that restorative potions and items (but not buff ones) be shared party property, rather than split.

All in agreement, please say "aye".

Sounds good, but I may be forced to change the outcome of my downtime rolls to avoid going into debt in that case, magic resources are expensive, but it is the one that it makes the most sense for me to stockpile.
