Nature's bond is the druid class ability that grant's the AC or domain. Hunter's bond is the near-equivalent ranger ability.
Be warned, there is an even chance Rissi will polymorph it into something more awesome. Like a dire rat.
Just went back and checked out of curiosity. The first post was February 13 last year so after just one year we're nearly done with 3 books. That's faster than my estimate!
Happy Birthday/Anniversary everybody!
OK, leveled up. Perception is now +19
EF at this time Thunderpuss is too squishy to engage in combats. So until I level and we find somebody to cast animal growth/permanency on Thunderpuss, I'll just have him stay in the woods.
So I just decided that my character was less of a space cadet then myself and actually scribed some scrolls for Sealman during our downtime, like Rissi said she would :P
Also, anyone mind if I use the pale lavendar ioun stone we picked up awhile ago?
And I think Miana should keep the gloves of climbing and swimming for now, as I am not gender liberated to see another character rocking lacy pink gloves.
Please do get it, I think it should definitely go on someone that won't be hit my many spells, but that will be shot by critical spells. The wizard fits that bill exactly.
Just letting you know tht I'll be abroad this week-end, thus unable to post. See you on Monday!
Thanks! I'll be visiting Madrid (Spain) for the first time.
As the ol saying goes:
Don't do anything I wouldn't do.
If you do, use protection.
If you don't, name it after me.
Have fun!
Aaaaaand here is your chronicle sheet for book 3!
Just let me know the number of the character you are applying it to so I can get it reported.
Thanks!
Great! I'll apply it to #76446-2 / Rysalius Starnon / Sovereign Court.
Thanks GM!
Applying it to 65114-2

Um, I guess put it on a nonexistant 7514-15. I'll try and whip up a placeholder quickly.
I am on vacation with uncertain internet connectivity through Sunday the 5th. Bot me as needed.

If we have any time Rissi will finish the sorcerer robe for Kufi.
It sounded like Seal was eyeing the icy burst longbow.
My guess is that we won't have time for shopping if we want to head back to Sandpoint as soon as possible. I was hoping we could get there in time to raise some defenses. I'm sure we'll get plenty of shopping time after that.
As for loot purposes, I have mild interest in the Boots of Winterlands, but not much else.
Rissi should get the enervation wand and the belt of dexterity, IMHO.
15767-1 I guess
Yah, gotta get some of the spoils. I'll take the icy burst bow.
So do we have time to make purchases? off the top of my head, I want to get a wand of Lead Blades and the ioun stone that allows you to store spells. That way Rissi can cast Enlarge Person into the stone and Seal can activate it instead of having her do it in combat.
I'm sure there is one or two other things, but I'm away from the home PC right now.
You had about 24 hours between arriving and the start of the attack.
Just letting you know that I'll be away for one week - on vacation - so please DMPC my character as appropriate. I'll be back on the 17th April.
Party treasurer here:
1. I'd like to stay in town at least 5-6 days so I can craft Kufieno's robe of arcane heritage plus some scrolls.
2. We've got a backlog of treasure to sell. I'm planning on selling
Armor, Chain Shirt, +1
Armor, Studded Leather, +2 light fortification
Cloak of Elvenkind
Headband of Vast Intellect +2
Weapon, Composite Longbow (+3 modifier), +1
Weapon, Longsword, +1
One of the Sihedron Medallions
3. Treasure assignment:
Rissi
Belt of Incredible Dexterity +2
Lucian
Boots of the Winterlands
4. I'm using party funds to buy two scrolls of versatile weapon, and to buy two scrolls of fly.
5. What do we think about using party funds to buy a wand of good hope, haste, or prayer for Lucian (or, better yet, Evanya)? Haste seems the obvious first purchase.
6. moneys:
General Party Fund 14,149.35 (before buying wand suggested in #5)
Hidetsugu Rissi 5587.76
Kufieno 8,757.74 (after paying for robe)
Lucian Arvandru 10,189.75
Miana, Champion of Irori 10,061.36
Sealman Alerteyes 8,473.32
I'm always keen on spells to deal with environmental dangers and to give us tactical advantages, if anyone has any suggestions.
I'm fine with some downtime. Thunderpuss has come into his own, so Seal will need to outfit him.
As for Wand of Haste, sounds like a good idea. We just need to get it at a high enough level to include everybody. Will that be cost prohibitive?
Concerning the wand of haste, I'm not sure about it because Lucian often casts BoF (every fight, in fact). A wand of good hope would be better because it would bring a buff we don't have at the table. And yes, the wand user would be Evanya, so that we can maximize action economy in the big fights. With my UMD ranks and her charisma, she stands at +16 UMD right now.
UMD skill description indicates the DC for emulating a class feature is 20, so in theory it could work, but since it's a highly controversial matter, I prefer asking you before buying it. Actually, the controversy is mainly about non-oracles using it through UMD because the ring states "The ring has no effect if worn by a non-oracle", so you need to emulate both a class feature (mystery) and a class (which isn't possible according to UMD skill description).
Rissi: Are you able to craft a Headband of Alluring Charisma +4? Or rather, upgrade my +2 to a +4? If so, am I right in thinking it would cost 6000 gp?

I'm still saving up for a 13K ring; so I'll be ok for Rissi time for now.
However, it would be fitting as a paladin to invest more gold into the town; she'll donate the remaining 1970 gp necessary to finish the monastery she started before. She'll also attach a dojo to the monastery and upgrade the book repository to a magical repository (580gp). Miana will donate another 500 gp to the town to help pay for repairs, victims' fund, etc. Finally, she'll leave a fund of 300 gp to hire a sensei to run the monastery in her absence.
Total to remove to Miana is 3350 gp.
The total time for finishing the monastery will be 4 months give or take, unless you assume some construction can be done simultaneously (more similar to how it is in Kingmaker).
@Lucian: It would be fine for you to use it with UMD I suppose.
Thanks EF, that would be awesome to be able to Channel Energy.
I'd like some input on spell selection:
First, I have a 5th-level oracle spell to pick. I was thinking of picking either breath of life (but got scrolls for now, so maybe not my first pick), spell resistance, summon monster V, and in time raise dead.
Then, my Improved Eldritch Heritage feat grants me New Arcana, which basically gives me a 5th-level or lower arcane spell from the wizard/sorcerer list. There are many things of interest here, but I was thinking of getting dimension door to deliver our friendly melees wherever needed on the battlefield. Other options include teleport, baleful polymorph, stoneskin, communal. Any thoughts? Your insight would be most welcome.
A few scrolls plus headband and robes puts me at 8 days crafting (at my usual manic pace). I think that's probably enough time of hanging around in the city and helping rebuild and leveling.
Sealman: let me know how much you spend on the murderous furry death machine. In the moment, I'm assuming it's coming out of your share.
Lucian: I switched some crafting around so that Lucian gets the headband as desired. Went with the wand of good hope for Evanya. It's a CL 7 wand for a bard, so it should hit the entire party, even Seal's animal companion.
A cleric spell I didn't see list but I think is nifty is life bubble.
Interesting arcane spells: Teleport and Stoneskin, Communal are both good, as you suggest, Echolocation is a great sense spell, Wall of stone can be very versatile when dungeon crawling.
Paladin tithe and investments subtracted.
I need to figure out my 6th level spells
I'll go with teleport, then. After all, it can also act as a dimension door, only it allows further travel. It is also spot-on flavor-wise for an evangelist of Desna.
Thanks for the insight on life bubble, I'll look into it.
Also, if you ever need an emergency trip back to Sandpoint or Magnimar while you're traveling about it could be a life-saver.
Ready; Initiative +8 and perception +13
Ready as well. Perception is now +18,init is unchanged.

Now would be a good time to take care of crafting and retraining. Not too much time, but 10 days doesn't seem unreasonable.
As for downtime, Lucian will spend it with his master, Brodert Quink, to put in writing everything they found out about Thassilon and the Sihedron so far.
Yah, Seal will pay for gear for Thunderpuss.
Also can Rissi recast "Enlarge Person" into Seal's cracked Ioun Stones?
Rissi, if Seal buys (or if its OK to take out of the general fund) the Permanency Scroll & fronts the gold needed, will she cast Greater Magic Fang (7500) & Permanency (1125) on Thunderpuss?
So how much downtime do we have left in the queue? Seal is looking to have a Dire Collar (1000gp) made. I'll buy +1 mithral armor for Thunderpuss outright. I had my eyes set on more, but funds and time limits my expectations.
And a Notice to all, next weekend I'll be going on a road trip up to Washington. I'll be gone from the 16th through the 25th. I'm skipping out on PaizoCon, but I'm sure I'll keep myself entertained ;).
Yes on enlarge person.
After the wand, we've got no money in the general fund.
You can just pay the cost for me to learn permanency from another wizard (probably require a teleport to Magnimar, but I'm sure Lucian would oblige). If you do that, it will only be 7500 + 125.
The collar I can craft on the road, no problem. (500)
I'll put you down for 8125
Gladly!

Kufieno is essentially finished, just need to transfer his stats.
Does anyone know of something that allows extra rounds of bloodline powers?
I'd like to get Kufi some more rounds/day, but other than a headband upping his CHA, I'm not sure what else there is.
No off the top of my head. The robe of arcane heritage is nice to get you some of those higher powers earlier or to make your breath weapon more powerful but I don't know of anything besides a Cha bump that gives you more rounds of claws.
Yeah, me either. There is a feat that grants one extra use a day, if I bring down a bad below 0, but haven't found anything else. And yeah, with the robe, the breath weapon should be 11d6, now.
So did we ever get hide from that red dragon? Did anybody call dibs on the armor made from that?
I remember I had a .pdf I think from EN World that gave ideas of what you can use all the different organs. Sadly, none of my players were never into such things.
If not red, can I ask EF if there will be any other dragons in the near future? PM or Spoiler, I won't tell! The reason I ask is that my girlfriend is paining a mini of Sealman (dorn & all) and she's at the armor part. I was thinking bronze, but if he's sporting dragon scale, even better!
No nobody did anything with it. You're welcome to it, as far as I'm concerned.
No one has claimed the red dragon hide.
Yes, there will certainly be more dragons.
Lucian mentioned the possibility, but no one followed on it sadly.
