Not this time around it looks like. The dragon has to be Huge to at least have enough usable scales to make banded mail. Large or less only grants you a shield.

On the train to adventure. Be back day after Memorial Day.

Seal will keep cleaving & PA'ing. He will only rage in the face of giants or "Oh shut, this just got serious" moments. Keep Thunderpuss out of the fights unless he is really needed.

Ahh, gotcha. Haven't been there yet, I have walked through The Wizard's Chest though. If I get another trip that isn't already booked fairly solid, I may have to make an EG game night!

In the old AD&D box set Dragon Mountain, there is an interesting dynamic. The Mountain itself there are several different tribes of kobolds all vying for power. There are color coded maps that give the boundaries of the different tribes. Now this could make for some interesting RP politics as fighting kobolds en mass can get trying after some time. The funny thing was they were still all 4 hp kobold that could only hit you on a 20. But there were special volley and mass attack rules. All the kobold were the same but one.

Dragon Mountain:
One of the clans challenges the party a combat of the champions. So a kobold comes out to fight the Paladin. The first hit from the kobold takes a big chunk out of the Paladin and shocking everybody else in the party. Their expression was priceless.

The story was the kobold was actually a polymorphed/cursed Fire Giant. So he looked like a kobold but retained all the stats of a Fire Giant.

So while now we can add levels and make base races more interesting, a monstrous humanoid with levels was unheard of. (Unless you had the Handbook of Monstrous Humanoids, but even then kobolds were pretty sh!tty)

ACG got a major errata update. Unsurprisingly, divine protection got nerfed.

Change the Divine Protection feat's Prerequisites section to “Prerequisites: Cha 13, Knowledge (religion) 5 ranks.” and change the Benefit section to “Benefit: Once per day as an immediate action before rolling a saving throw, you can add your Charisma modifier on that saving throw. As usual, this does not stack if you already apply your Charisma modifier to that saving throw. If you possess the charmed life class feature, you can instead apply Divine Protection's bonus after rolling the saving throw but before the result is revealed."

Unsurprisingly indeed. Would you allow me to retrain that feat, EF? The new version is somewhat unappealing.

Yes, that's fine.

I've run and played it already but it's one of my favorites. Tek just played it with me too, although his character and a few others died due to some unfortunate lack of planning/communication from one particular party member.

His And a Few others died?

That sounds like 3 or more PCs dying in a module. Wow! I'm going to say that its a pretty easy mod, hence the reason I'm going with an alternative character creation ;)

My condolences Tek and EF =v(


The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge

They got better, it was ok. Technically you can't leave the Realm either, so they had to pay 5 PP to get extracted before they could get raised and head back in.

spoilers!:
It was the mute hag with her devastating cone of cold attack. A couple of those in a row took a few of them out before someone could kill her.

Other than that encounter I would probably agree with you that it's not overly challenging but still one of my favorites for its creativity.

Thanks EF on another very interesting chapter of that campaign! I loved the attack on Sandpoint part, as well as the dealings with Conna.

Simple question: If I apply this CS to Kynrac, who is currently playing EotT, will this CS apply only when EotT is over? If so, I'll put it on Kynrac (76446-1). If not I'll select another character because I need to finish playing EotT.

Alright, level up is done. Here's a few things:

- Thanks to my second boon, I don't need the Piercing Metamagic Rod anymore. Rissi, it's yours.

- I picked the Divine Interference feat, which allows me to have an enemy within 30 feet reroll an attack roll (costs me an immediate action). I'll definitely use this feat when someone in the party (within range) gets crit'ed, using a lower-level slot.

Rissi:
How do you feel about the source severance spell? I imagine that it would be very useful in the future, but I wanted your input on it first.

@Rissi: I won't pick it up straight away, but I'll definitely will go for it eventually.

By the way, Lucian is really tired of being blinded, so he picked remove blindness/deafness as his 3rd-level spell! The other spells he picked are: suppress charms and compulsions (II), freedom of movement (IV), plane shift (V) and heal (VI).

Since EotT is a complete series, I would say you'd be fine applying it to Kynrac and holding it until he finishes EotT but maybe our friendly local VC can give you a more official answer.

I would say since you are already in Eyes, you would be locked in that. It makes the most sense given the Eyes restrictions and is the most fair solution.

I'll have a shopping list for you Rissi :) When I get some time to review things. Although I'm surprised you didn't want the Robe.

Also, I find the idea of having a pocket wizard amusing.

I think she'd be the same size as her familiar then, which raises some disturbing questions about just how 'familiar' they are....


Male Human (Varisian) Oracle (Lore) 8, Evangelist 10 | HP 165/165 | AC:36 T:20 FF:29 CMD: 30 | F+13 R+22 W+24 (+2 vs transmutation) | Init +5 | Per +25 (+4 to determine whether he's surprised), Darkvision 60ft

Could she ride her familiar, then? If it took the Undersized mount feat?

Rissi:
The robe might be very good for you indeed, but it's up to you. What about the Piercing metamagic rod? I still see it on my loot table, but I've given it to you.

The scroll of limited wish could also be worth keeping to pull us out of very nasty situations. It's tremendously versatile for a wizard. I'd say keep it but pay the half price with party funds since it would benefit the whole group.

Here's my shopping list, then.

Party-funded
Wand of Cure Light Wounds x2 (1500 gp)

Personal funds
Upgrade Cloak of Resistance from +1 to +4 (7,500 gp, assuming Rissi crafts it)
Upgrade Mithral Chain Shirt from +2 to +3 (5,000 gp)
Upgrade Mithral Buckler from +1 to +2 (3,000 gp)
Ring of Protection +1 (2,000 gp)
Mnemonic Vestment (2,500 gp assuming Rissi crafts it)
Ring of Revelation, lesser [channel energy] (10,000 gp)

Total: 30,000 gp

Yes, that means that Lucian will be able to channel energy (with a UMD check everytime, but he cannot fail it), which will save a lot of those wand charges, among other things.

Oh, almost forgot: Lucian's Perception is now +20 (+4 to determine whether he's surprised). Initiative remains unchanged.

I definitely agree with Rissi taking those robes and us keeping the Limited Wish scroll. That's a good spell to have in your back pocket.

It'll be a day or two before I can get to reviewing my character.

So, according to the AR there was enough scale to make a breastplate. Is that true here? If so I definatly will want a red dragon breastplate crafted with the appropriate resistance. ;) I'll also need to find a druid to can a Animal Growth with Permanency on Thunderpuss. More stuff to come later.

My Rissi shopping list!

I would like the Headband of Intellect actually, bit then upgrade it to be a +2 to all mental stats Headband(either 4k or 6k e,tra, not sure how that math is).

Likewise, I'd like a +2 Belt of Physical perfection (8k)

Cloak of resistance +2 (2k)

Lastly, a Ring of Ki Mastery (have to buy that outright for 13k)

Finally, donating 3k of my gold to Sandpoint to help pay for repairs. Also need to pay the Sensei running monastery (about 100gp, barring whatever it may in the month we've traveled)

Yep, but doesn't the resistance only apply to the armor and not the wearer? It does make magical resistance cheaper if I recall correctly.

Just about finished leveling up Kufieno. Trying to pick a feat, and possibly two. (Do we have time to retrain?, With his STR and DEX now equal, Kufi doesn't really need Weapon Finesse.)

As far as shopping, the only definite atm is a Headband of Cha. How long would it take to craft a +6'er?

Yes, you have time to retrain.
