I've decided on Extra ki, for Calden's feat.
On another topic, our household has been struck with the flu. Little sleep, wooly head and a busy day hardly make for ideal circumstances to write a long post. I'll try to add something before the deadline, but can't guarantee I'll make it.

Oh what the hell the changes to Korech didn't save for some reason. I'll fix those today.
I have a quick question about an item cost. I bought a masterwork cold iron mace, but I have found conflicting information about how much it should cost.
Cold iron doubles weapon price and masterwork adds 300 gp to the price.
So should my weapon cost:
(5+300)×2=610?
Or
(5×2)+300=310?
The specific item listing for a cold iron masterwork longsword has a price of 330 gp, so that would suggest the latter is right. But I've found other contradictory information in the forum discussion. Giuseppe, what's your ruling on this?
Question often discussed in my gaming group as well. BTW my ruling is that cold iron only doubles the base cost of the weapon, not its masterwork quality. So your mace costs 310 gp ;)
Nice! That's 300 gp back to me. I'll see if there's anything I would have spent that extra coin on.
That 300 gp "refund" is enough for me to pick up that pink and green (cracked) ioun stone to boost my UMD.
I'll roll for the 25% resonance chance:
Well, no resonance. I'll keep the new one in my Wayfinder and store the other one in my bag until I need it (since it's my Craft Alchemy one, no need to keep it orbiting all the time).

Sorry for missing the posting deadline today. Still a lot of flu going around here, and finding the concentration to make decent posts is quite hard. I'll try tomorrow morning, after (hopefully) a decent night's sleep.

I hope you feel better soon!
No worries Calden, hope you feel better soon! Thankfully, the interaction with the mad man has gone pretty smoothly :D
Sorry for the lack of posts from me today guys, as you can imagine easter holidays has been quite hectic for me in RL. I'll update the Gameplay Thread tomorrow :)
Not to worry! I had quite the holiday too. Take it easy!
No problem. Hope you had a nice holiday!
So on a lark I did up the group as Order of the Stick characters (something I've done for the games I run), which if you're unfamiliar is a really long-running webcomic with a distinct art style. Enjoy! Or uh, not.

Maybe it's just me, but I can't get the link to work.
And as a LOOOOOOONGTIME follower of the Order of the Stick, that makes me sad.
Oh what the hell!
Try this one!

YAY! That made me grin like an idiot! I love it!
Oh my goodness. That's amazing! :D
Wow, website has been down for all of my "active" part of the game. Will try to update before I go playing football and then off to bed.
Just to clarify on the current encounter with the lizardfolk:
We are subject to their fear aura when we come within 20 feet of them. So, after we're done being panicked, we can avoid it if we stay out of that range? Do we know if it can affect us again if we re-enter that aura?
Hey guys, I searched the messageboard trying to see if I could find a solution to both Calden's (see Gameplay Thread) and Shirzon's questions. I've been unable to find a solution to our problem though, so I'm going to rule that you can be affected by the aura of fear of the same creature only once, regardless of wheter you fail or succeed at the relative saving throw. As a consequence, Merephel, Korech, and Shirzon will all be able to act normally in the next round. Calden would have been able to act normally in this round, so I'm going to check with him his actions before posting.
Meph, assuming you're using your Selective Channel feat, you still have to heal one of the lizardfolk because your Cha bonus only allows you to exclude 2 enemies from your channel energy area. Also, you cannot get within 30 feet of both Calden and Shirzon (see map). You may want to reconsider your actions :D
Updated!
I'm sorry but I had to bot you to keep the combat flowing Korech! ;)
Hey Giuseppe, I have a question about a combat strategy's rules. This is something I was thinking about doing this round, but I figured I would save it until I got a ruling from you.
Would it be possible to throw down one of my smoke pellets in my own space to give myself concealment, then make a Stealth check within that concealment, and if that's successful break stealth and attack flat-footed AC for sneak attack damage? Obviously if an enemy saw me activate the smoke pellet, they would know the space I'm in, but potentially a Stealth check could let me conceal my movements and such within the smoke to give me the chance to surprise an enemy when I exit or attack from the smoke?
Since it requires a consumable, a successful Stealth roll, and two turns, it's a hassle to set up. But in a desperate situation like this, I feel like it might be worth a try. :P
I would allow you to do so Shirzon. It seems pretty reasonable to me.
Never apologize for botting! It's the consequence of not posting. I am the one who is sorry. :)
I'm glad to be healed. Thanks, Merephel. I assume, that since Calden is before her in the initiative order, I can't act yet this round.

Guys, sorry for missing the post yesterday. It was a crazy day. Furthermore, I'm studying for an incoming PhD exam that I've on April the 12th, so please be indulgent to your GM :D
Believe me, that's a terrific excuse. We're just happy to have you!
I've got some players in the home game I'm running who are working on finishing their undergraduate theses, so I'm no stranger to academics taking precedence over the game when it's crunch time. Good luck on your exam!
Indeed, that's a lot more important than our game. Good luck on the final prep!
Oh wow, good luck!
[dice=Channel Positive Energy]2d6=
[dice=Channel Positive Energy]2d6=
I think your channel is supposed to be 3d6 at 5th level, isn't it?
Yep, I sure do. I also said 13 HP, and I meant 18.
This is what happens when I'm not awake...
I think we still have some caffeine pills (aka allnight or something) that we looted off those Molthuni thugs...
I'd offer to roll my own Spellcraft checks, but with how much the dice hate Merephel, it's probably best I don't.
Total loot from this battle:
Consumables/ammo:
16 doses of a strange poison
5 javelins
12 daggers
a light crossbow with 12 bolts
four potions (unidentified)
two smokesticks
two sunrods
Weapons/valuables
two masterwork morningstars
two masterwork rapiers (One for Shirzon)
nine saps
seven short swords
a set of thieves tools
Chieftan's ornated bracers (magical???)
Gold
181 gp
I left off things that didn't seem super valuable or worth carrying/using. Loot sheet update as well.
Calden doesn't need anything off that list, unless the magical items prove interesting.
Assuming that Merephel takes 10 on her Spellcraft checks to identify the magic items.
- The bracers are bracers of armor +1
- The potions are: cure light wounds (3), cure moderate wounds
- Two of the leather armors are +1 studded leather armors.
Let me know what you're leaving behind and what you're putting in your bag of holding.
Korech doesn't need any of the gear, but I'd say take everything but the javelins/daggers.
Merephel needs not a bit of that, so go nuts. Calden? If you don't have bracers, those bracers of armor would be great for you!
I have bracers +1 already, so that's not an upgrade for me unfortunately.
I would suggest we take the magical items, the masterwork items, the alchemical stuff and the poisons. Everything else is not really worth the hassle to stow and track, as far as Calden is concerned.
-Posted with Wayfinder
Yeah, we can leave behind all the normal quality weapons and stuff. The magical stuff is nice, though, that has good sell value.
Before we were interrupted by the skeletons, did Merephel get enough rest to reset her spells and daily channels? It make a difference as to how she heals herself.
Also, I vote we keep those items. That wand and ring could be very useful indeed!

Hey guys, just wanted to inform you that I'm not going to post today and tomorrow, since I'll be traveling from my home town to Pisa, where I have my exam.
Enjoy your rest!
Good luck!
Learn all the things!
Good luck on the exam!
Hey all! I've been running a PbP game of the Risen from the Sands module for a few months now. One of my players has had to drop out due to real life issues, so I was wondering if any of you would like to join us?
Here are the quick details:
- We're more than halfway through, so we're just looking for another player to help close out. It could be fun, but not necessarily deep.
- It's a dungeon crawl for sure, with traps and a puzzle and lots of fighting in big stone rooms. There's a little room for roleplay, especially within the party (and they've "befriended" a couple of undead NPCs), but the themes are very pulp/explorer genre.
- I'm running it very slowly. We were one a day, but right now we're at an inconsistent couple of times per week. It's actually proving to be a nicely leisurely pace for me, but if you don't want something that slow, that's something to keep in mind.
- The party is a raven wizard with her human familiar, a melee dwarf ranger, and a Kitsune medium. That may influence your decision, but I invite you to play whatever you'd like if you're interested. :)
I wanted to open up invitations to you all first before I opened the general recruitment again. If you're interested, I have the character creation stuff in my recruitment thread, (with some clarifications in the thread if I missed anything in the opening post).
