GM Kiora's Wrath of the Righteous

Game Master Kiora Atua

Thanks for the answer. :)

"Cheating" might have been too strong a word. It just strikes me as a very heavy-handed alternative to setting a character on a new path the mundane way. But that's magic for you. ;P

What strikes me as strange about is the inclusion of it on the druidic spell list, it doesn't seem very druid-y does it? Other than fixing wayward druids, but they could have made a different spell for that :P

If we're resting for the night, I'd like to try something:

Isilme can cast arcane concordance, picking Extend. Then, I can cast shadow conjuration three times to replicate web shelter, which should allow us to comfortably keep most of our important personnel all snug... as long as everybody willingly fails their Will saves to disbelieve. Three web shelters is three 20ft. diameter hemispheres, which holds 48 people if you cram.

sounds great to me, if you're asking if its possible! why don't you ask Isilme for that in character ;)

GM Kiora - do I still need to prepare my own endure elements spell today, or do our clerics have us (the party) covered already?

The clerics are able to shoulder covering the entire army, including the party.

However it is entirely up to you to whether or not you want to try and ease the cleric's burden to allow them to prepare a few other low level spells today instead.

Eh, nah. Leave the charity to better men.

My spell preparation is done.

You guys remember when I said I haven't been sick in years?

Humblebrag backfired. I've been sooooo out of it the last few days. Work's been a total slog on top of that. Still icky, but we'll see how icky as the day progresses...

Anywho, time to catch up.

Feel better soon Ary! Being sick sucks D:

Feel better soon, Ary :) Y'know the deal... fluids and rest!

If we were *really* like the demons, our strategy would be to sneak in and set all of the buildings on fire first. Give them about 10 min for the chaos to set in, then show up at the gates as the Commander, at which point they'd open the gates immediately for the help. They'd essentially be defenseless, disorganized and fatigued already, so they'd not be prepared for our forces to come flooding in and slaughter them all :p

You know you've played too many evil characters when you've done something like that before...

Hi everyone, I'm gonna be out of town for the holidays. Unfortunately, a certain someone forgot the charging cable for his laptop, so reliable computer and internet access is a no go. I should be back by Tuesday. Sorry for the last minute warning - I thought for sure I had that cord in my bag. :(

Happy holidays everyone. :)

Have a good holiday, Ehren! :)

Merry Christmas, y'all! :)

Hope you guys are having a great holiday weekend!

Isilme's obviously been naughty, cause all Santa brought him was a cold ;p

Merry Christmas one and all! If my posting is slow for the next couple of days, it's because I got Pokemon Sun and I'm currently living in Pokemon Hawaii.

Lol. Well, that sounds like it would be warm and sunny (at least in your imagination). Here its cold and snowy!

Merry Christmas to all of you. I hope Isilme can find something to make it up to sant... maybe bake some extra cookies and leave milk on the table ;)

Merry Christmas, folks. I hope you're all having a very merry time.

I received a tablet, so it's looking like my posting rate while away from home may improve. My phone types just so slowly, so I don't like using it.

Merry Belated Christmas. :P

Looking forward to more Xanderghul antics.

I hope everyone's holidays have been going well so far. New Jersey was nice, even though I ended up spending most of the time watching a Mythbusters marathon (that's still going on) and teasing my mom's cats.

In game, it looks like things have played out like an episode of the Looney Toons. I'll have something for Ehren up soonish.

Yeah, you're not exactly wrong. One of these days, our plan to pretend to be cultists and then beat the sh*t out of the bad guys once we get close is going to fail, but that day is not today.

I've been watching the White Rabbit Project on Netflix. You might recognize some of the people on it, if you're a fan of Mythbusters. :)

Are we waiting for something? I don't think that we're waiting for something, are we?

I think we're mostly waiting on teh holidaze.

Yeah, truuuuu.

I just wanted to check and see if there's any confusion about what's going on, or if we're waiting on the GM to come back, or a particular player or something

but I'm not impatient. Maybe a little. If there's nothing that's up it's whatever.

Yeah, holiday stuff, I imagine.

Asides from that, I think Ary just have to give the order to attaaaack. Or sneak. Or bar the doors to their longhouses and light them on fire. Keep them warm and toasty through the storm. :P

Are we waiting for something? I don't think that we're waiting for something, are we?

I've been waiting on the order to attack, or y'know, for someone to do something instead of just talking about doing things :p

I'll wait a little longer but if I have to, I'll force my hand ;)

--------

I'm super jealous that you got pokemon sun, Valaria! I recently found out that I appear to have lost nearly my whole pokemon collection during my last move. Like 4 different DS cartridges lost, aughhh *flails* >_<

I've kind of been wait for that too. I don't want to jump on a guy and start stabbing and ruin the plan by accident.

Noooo! That's awful. I don't know what I'd do if I lost any of my games :(

But, Valaria, that is the plan.

The plan is to kill the enemies, and congrats! You've made it past the walls without raising the alarm! What a good opportunity to start killing schir!

Yup, definitely time to kill. I was waiting on Ary to give the order to the troops, since the Schir are 100' out from the gate, and the tieflings are chasing them too.

Sorry to hear about your Pokemon collection, Kiora. :(

Those games always seem to retain their value no matter how much time passes. Reasons probably being 1) Nintendo and 2) Pokemon can be traded across generations rather easily these days. Not at all cheap to replace them. :(

I haven't played Pokemon Sun in a few days myself... I was really enjoying it, but then I accidentally shut it off without saving and lost like, 2 or 3 hours of progress. That will teach me. :|

At least I still have my glorious Dugtrio, though.

Happy new year everyone!

Happy New Year to you, as well. Sorry for the radio silence. I've been busy-busy and lazy-lazy. :(

Happy (belated) new year to everyone. Sorry for being MIA, I just totally spaced out for a weekend. Think I needed the downtime.

On the upside, Kiora and I managed to watch almost the entire series of Marvel movies back to back, and I made significant headway into Pokemon Black :p

Isilme totally found most of it this morning, ahhhhh! I'm still missing Platinum, though. But most of my collection was on White so, crisis averted :D

So I guess now I have to slowly transfer everyone to the bank finally so that this never happens again <_<;

Ehren - That Alolan dugtrio is the best thing ever. Ugh, I wants it.

Also a mythic version of place magic would totally make sense. I will think on it ;)

That's good news!

I hope everyone's holidays have gone well, in any case.

Sorry. Been busy. I move.

No problem! I know how it is :)

There is an interesting new set of prestige classes out.

Of very particular interest to us I think is the heritor knight, a non-paladin-based Iomedae prestige class. It looks like there's one for every good-aligned popular or major god. Also of interest, the runeguard, a good-aligned version of Thassilonian spellcasting. And hey: the sphere singer prestige.

Yay! More prestige classes for deity-worshiping divine classes!

*flips table*

-only a little salty-

Actually, from what I see looking at them, they're actually better for non-divine worshippers. Heritor seems made for fighters, especially sword and board, runeguard it tailored to wizards, and sphere singer is made for bards.

Hinterlander is for rangers, Anchorite for non-clerics of Sarenrae, Ashavic Dancer for bards, Rose Warden is for rogues, Sacred Sentinel is for dwarf cavaliers, and the Stargazer looks like it's for witches.

Stargazer looks odd. It stacks with witch, cleric, and oracle in different ways.

That being said, I should have left out "divine classes."

Okay, so first... GDI. That prestige class is so fricking awesome. (The Iomedae one)

I'm not sure I can possibly fit it in, because Ranger is just so... Core to Ary. Plus, I'm not sure how 'stacks with fighter levels' would work with VMC ;)

But that is ridiculously thematic of Iomedae.

I know that fitting in a focus on K(Religion) and Iron Will will be next to impossible, though.

Is the intent of Mighty Strike to allow you to use it on the other Standard Action swings? Because if not, the extra line doesn't really mean anything. "You can use your feat the way the feat works." :P

It's the Acts of Iomedae, guys. The prestige class is all of her acts. *Flails helplessly*

On the topic of Runeguard, I had totally been thinking about inverted sin sorcerers. Like 'can only cast from the two schools opposed by the Runelord in question'. It fit surprisingly well with the virtues as well. Would have to have some serious buffs to make up for the limitations, but the idea was 'Spellsundered'. What happens when you carve chunks out of magic to 'purify it'.

Sorry guys! I got Isiilme addicted to pokemon and its hard to get him to do other stuff with his free time atm ;) I'll be moving things along regardless in the next few hours haha.

As for the new PrCs they're very nice! The 'heritor's Knight is more themed towards undead than demons, but it's still hella cool!

I believe the intent of Mighty Strike is that you can stack vital strike/improved vital strike onto other standard action attacks (aka all the other class features of 'heritor Knight). At least that's how I would rule it.

I'd be fine with 'heritor class levels counting independently to qualify for fighter only feats (like Disruptive) but not stacking with Ranger levels for that purpose.

As for stacking with VMC weapon training... probably not. The idea there was for fighters who switch to PrC to be allowed to continue to progress in weapon training anyway. With VMC you get weapon training independent of what classes you're taking levels in, its basically exchanging feats for class features.

Stargazer is themed around Pulura, and lore-wise is the best fit for the campaign. (Stargazers are people who worship Pulura who hang out at her base within the Worldwound). It was specifically made for this setting :)

I think Isilme is pondering picking up Sphere Singer cause I mean c'mon you get magical butterfly wings.

Paths of the Righteous also added a bunch of cool feats. Daring Exploit, Guided Star (Desnan), Prestigious Spell Caster (makes PrCing as a spellcaster less painful), Smite Evil Magic, and Uncanny Ally may be of interest to y'all.

New Thassilonian Magic is also a cool feat that I cant find on pfsrd for some reason, so I copied it under the spoiler:

Anyways it's worth noting that when Paizo releases new stuff, if there's new stuff that's better for your character than what you already have, I'm fine with free retraining to make it fit. As long as it's something that basically does what you were originally trying to do but better.

That feat tax on Prestigious Spellcaster hurts, man. That's half as good as Toughness (at best!), which really irks me.

New Thassilonian Magic, on the other hand... that could be worth looking into. Trading in Conjuration or Transmutation could be pretty sweet ... I think I'd have to lose Enchantment. I also really like Uncanny Ally. That's a pretty good feat. It's like that Lookout teamwork feat, except it's not a teamwork feat.

If I took it, could I trade out my currently known Enchantment spells for Transmutation spells of the same level?

Sure!

Okay. I definitely know that I want that feat. There's too many things it would let me do that I can't do yet. Would you be okay if I traded Magical Aptitude for it after this battle?

I originally wanted that feat to enter the Pathfinder Savant class (you know, for the extra spell utility) but I decided against that awhile ago.
