Opening up the Discussion tab because I didn't do it earlier. If you have any off-topic discussions you want to have, then here is the place to post them!
Happy Thanksgiving from a canuck. :)
I am currently celebrating it with -2 f, and 15 mph winds and a snowstorm.
Happy Thanksgiving from a 'Murican. XD
Celebration temperature is 43 degrees Fahrenheit with a possibility of snow later this evening.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you from the Old World. :)
Starting money? Average or rolled?
Do you allow hit point retraining from Ultimate Campaign?

1) Average.
2) Will consult after turkey dinner and get back to you on that.
3) Is it okay to use Scribe Scroll before game begins to have five scrolls at normal crafting prices (12.5gp per scroll)?
From north of the border, just wishing you all a happy thanksgiving! Not as cold in my part of the Canada, 21 f and clear skies.
Didn't realize the discussion thread was open. Happy belated Thanksgiving, lol.
@GM
I have a question about how we want to handle one of my major abilities. I bolded below the part that I think is going to be tricky in the PbP format.
Opportune Parry and Riposte (Ex):
At 1st level, when an opponent makes a melee attack against the swashbuckler, she can spend 1 panache point and expend a use of an attack of opportunity to attempt to parry that attack. The swashbuckler makes an attack roll as if she were making an attack of opportunity; for each size category the attacking creature is larger than the swashbuckler, the swashbuckler takes a –2 penalty on this roll. If her result is greater than the attacking creature's result, the creature's attack automatically misses. The swashbuckler must declare the use of this ability after the creature's attack is announced, but before its attack roll is made. Upon performing a successful parry and if she has at least 1 panache point, the swashbuckler can as an immediate action make an attack against the creature whose attack she parried, provided that creature is within her reach.
So, half the party is Canadian, then? Reign of Winter indeed.
Plus one Finland, so yeah.
Some how I think the game trasposed into reality.
Ma Nature just said, Oh yea, I knew I forgot something. . . here have some more winter.
Temps just dropped here to -40F (-40C) with wind, and it finally stopped snowing. :(
got to love the prairies.
Going to address issues before I update the Gameplay thread:
@Ember:
2) Hit point retraining is allowed.
3) Sure.
@Evelina:
Hmm...that does look like we've put ourselves in quite the predicament. I'll try and figure out how to connect with all of the others for more streamlined combat scenarios since Skype isn't an option.*
@Everyone: Three hours ago was five o'clock (EST) and it was PITCH BLACK. Not to mention the fact that there's a possibility of the roads icing over. Sheesh...
Now back to gameplay!
------
*: How about Google chat? We don't need the camera, and if we set up an assigned time in advance, it should work for the trickier parts of combat.
I'll guess round out the party as an English/American, currently living in America. Can't speak to the temperature though, because I broke my leg last week and haven't been out much.
@GM: Sound fair. If it helps as long as I am at full Panache you can assume I will probably try to parry an attack coming my way.
I'm fine with Google or Skype chat. Again microphone will be iffy depending on the time, because I am currently confined to a shared living room.
2) Hit point retraining is allowed.
Awesome!
Works for me, but on another note, please don't expect me to heal in a fight.
I can heal, and I can remove conditions, but I don't see that as a warpriests main ability.
hammering someone into the dirt, I do see as their main ability. :)
Indeed, though in hindsight, that does leave us pretty short on healing of any sort.
I do have spells that can be spontaniously converted, but people are just going to have to try to minimize the incoming damage.
You are right though, it does mean that we are going to be hard pressed on the healing. (CLW wands here we go.)
For alternate methods of communication, may I suggest either emails or phone numbers? I understand that a number of our players are overseas in Europe, making coordination during hectic scenes quite the chore. I myself have an iPhone, and I'm fairly sure that I won't get charged for international text messaging if I use the wi-fi to send messages. Otherwise, a wifi based chat application might just work...
I am thinking e mail, as I killed off my cell phone to try to save money.
My cell is for work so I really can't use it for something like this. I could use my email, but it is already associated with the forums anyway, so I'm not sure it's any faster?
Like Uruk, my email is already associated with the forums...so a PM is just as effective as an email. For that reason, I would prefer not to give my email out.
I am still fine with Skype or some other text based chat.
I think that PM, might be the most effective,
But my suggestion is if a player has not posted his move inside of 24 hrs, GMPC him for that move, and we go on.
Sorry, had a massive health emergency, been in the hospital a few days. I was given some very heavy medication to take for the next few weeks that is going to severely mess me up, so sadly I'm going to have to drop out. Good luck though, everyone.
Damn. I hope you get better soon. Best wishes from a freezing American.
Best wishes from a frozen Canadian here.
Health first, the rest falls into place after that.
Hope you feel better soon. Sorry to see you go.
I second all the well wishes. Take care!
I was going off of secondary weapons that you all had, and working with what I could afford. :)
I just looked at the rapier and I had totally forgotten that it was 20gp. Thought it was 10gp as well. *self facepalm* Well...most of my last post doesn't make much sense, haha.
Edit: Oh, forgot to answer about the piercing damage question. I'm not specifically oriented toward piercing damage, so much as finesse-able weapons. However, both my feats are rapier specific.
That explains why you were more rapier specific. :)
I've got some bad news. For some reason or another, my computers Internet browser keeps on timing out whenever I try to load the paizo website. So for the indefinite future, I will try to post updates to the campaign from my iPhone. Please be patient while I try to sort my Wi-Fi out as well as forgive any typing or formatting mistakes should they arise in future posts.
If you have any idea as to why my computer's doing this or have gone through similar experiences where you are and have resolved them, i'd appreciate any input you can provide.
I'll try and get an update the soon as I can for the campaign.
I'm no expert, but I would try the following things:
-Clearing out your cached files and cookies
-Making sure the firmware on your router is up to date.
Starting today, I will be haphazard for being online.
I will be travelling, so might not have net access.
Please DMPC me if I haven’t posted within 24 hours.
This condition will persist until early Jan.
Found a computer for right now, and have a question any reason that I am showing has having been a former player in this campaign ?
Probably just a clerical error; I'm sure Fenwick meant to move Hilda Týrsdottir to the former player list, not you.
Speaking of our early dropout, any thoughts on replacing her?
Oops. I'll fix that when I get back on a computer. I'm at the dentist office and it isn't the ideal place to fix technical issues.
not to worried, just thought I would bring it up.
What method of initiative are we using for this game?
Do we post in any order? Actual order? Or everyone who got higher than the enemy, then everyone after?
I would like to remind, that I am still showing as inactive.
^ Fixing that now.
thank you. :)
Bad news guys. My computer is giving me problems, by which I mean "started to smoke in the middle of typing". Long story short, the cooling unit broke and I'm currently in the middle of getting it replaced. Since I only have pdf files of RoW stuck on that computer (which should be safe regardless of the smoke), there's gonna be at least a few days until I can make substantial posts. Sorry for the delay.
Thinking his computer is possessed,
Fenwick
ooohhh puff the magic smoke is not the best thing for the computers. :(
Sooo... is this game DOA already? The last post was Jan 14th, and no word from Fenwick in almost two weeks.
Sorry. I've been readjusting to college life for the spring semester, and it's been taking its toll. Adding the fact that my computer Short-circuited like I mentioned earlier, things have been pretty rough for me this month.
tl;dr Been busy, but I'm not abandoning the game. I just need some time to get my life in order. Hopefully I'll be able to update this week.
I'm cool with waiting a while, busy IRL too.
Bringing this to discussion, so as to not bog down gameplay.
Usually a 19-20 crit range requires you to naturally roll a 19 or 20 before modifiers (like with a longsword or a light crossbow. By core Pathfinder, its not usually possible to get a critical hit without rolling at least a 15. I think the 20th level ability for the Inspired Blade Swashbuckler archetype is the only thing I have seen that gets it lower.
Edit: That awkward moment when someone posts the same thing as you and the same time...lol
right from the CRB, pg 184
Critical Hits: When you make an attack roll and get a
natural 20 (the d20 shows 20), you hit regardless of your
target’s Armor Class, and you have scored a “threat,”
meaning the hit might be a critical hit (or “crit”). To find
out if it’s a critical hit, you immediately make an attempt
to “confirm” the critical hit—another attack roll with all
the same modifiers as the attack roll you just made. If the
confirmation roll also results in a hit against the target’s
AC, your original hit is a critical hit. (The critical roll just
needs to hit to give you a crit, it doesn’t need to come up
20 again.) If the confirmation roll is a miss, then your hit
is just a regular hit.
A critical hit means that you roll your damage more
than once, with all your usual bonuses, and add the rolls
together. Unless otherwise specified, the threat range for a
critical hit on an attack roll is 20, and the multiplier is ×2.
Although, things that say 19/20 or 18-20 use those natural rolls.
Edit, wrong alias.
Also, I am not disputing that I got hit by the trap, just debating weather it was a critical or not. :)
Hold up though... the trap rolled a "9" unless I'm reading it incorrectly. It's important since all of us of an AC of 19 or less is everybody. Are you sure the book didn't mean 19-20, as in the critical range for many weapons?
I gotta go with Rorgar on this one. If the log crits on a modified 19-20, than it would be a critical more than 50% of the time which is better than even someone wielding a keen scimitar.
Okay. I just checked in with my future roomate. Rorgar is right. It has to be a natural 19 or 20 for there to be a crit. Whoops.
So...yeah, remember when I said 10 damage? Kindly take that down to 5 please if you got hit.
