Huh. That might be the first time I've ever seen anyone using Heal to treat deadly wounds.

Give them more healsticks. :D
I've done it. In fact I have a war cleric that specializes in it.
Took the following traits:
Battlefield Surgeon: You're skilled at both dealing and repairing wounds.
Benefit(s) Heal is a class skill for you, and you can use the treat deadly wounds aspect of Heal 1 additional time per creature per day
Devoted Healer:Raised in the company of skilled healers, you were always encouraged to devote your time and energy to the welfare of others.
Benefit(s): Whenever you take 20 on a Heal check to treat deadly wounds, you restore an additional 1d4 hit points to those you aid. (Take 20 = 1 hp per level+ Wis mod (4)+ 1d4)
Devoted healer is almost worthless, though, because taking 20 on Treat Deadly Wounds takes 20 hours!
At low levels with no healing and no way to get to it quickly (like in a dungeon) it can take a frontliner from negative HP to full with a day of rest. Not spectacular but not exactly useless either.
I think my live table just fell apart. I may need a few days to get rid of the lingering anger, bitterness, and sadness I feel.
@Nisany: Take your time. I'll bot you as needed.

So, I'm assuming we'll have given all of the alchemist's fire to Nisany, since she can add her INT to the damage?
Also, can I have assumed to transfer my ward hex to Khardir since he is in the lead now?
*clank clank clank*
Both of the above seem fine by me.
Thank you. I should be back and I think I can get a post in tomorrow as it is getting late. Friday I am moving so I won't be posting then.
@Everyone: Please, keep any purely out-of-character posts to the discussion thread. That's what it is for.
@Bernard: Are you sure that Furious Focus applies to the free attack from Cleave? I'm pretty sure it wouldn't, going by the feats' descriptions.
As Vibenia already pointed out, yes you are. I'll let you know if any chambers are large enough to not incur the penalty.
I'm trusting all of you to subtract this from your rolls yourselves, by the way. I'm not sure if Bernard did that in his last post, but I'll let it ride for the sake of not going back and forth and muddling the order of events even further.
I'm starting to see why group initiative is such a tempting option for play-by-post GMs... :P
Apologies! I totally forgot about the -2 for cavern size. I'll def include it moving forward, and thanks for the reminder.
I just reread Cleave and Furious Focus. I'm awful at interpreting rules, so I may totally be wrong, but all Cleave says is that if your first single attack at full base attack bonus you get to make a second full base attack?
Ah, here we go. In Furious Focus it says 'your first attack you make each turn'. I was using it as your first attack on each enemy. Apologies again - good clarification, and I'll be sure to remember it going forward.
Between the Power Attack ding and the cavern penalty, that reduces my second attack to a 10. Does that still hit? If not, I'm fine with bringing that second rat back from the dead!
*Conversely (and sorry for the stream of consciousness nature of this post) I might have skipped Power Attack for the attacks if I'd know about the cavern ding, maybe making it a 12 to hit? I don't know. Whatever you think's best.
Well, good that we cleared that up. Your attack would have missed either way, but as I said, in the interest of clarity we'll avoid rat-necromancy for now.
Sorry
Bel can target any of the kobolds with her hex, delaying if need if line of sight is an issue, if red has died.
Kay since Nisany already went I will wait. Moving sucks and I gotta solo the last part tonight. This is my little break but I will jump back into the swing tomorrow if I am up. Thank you for the consideration with my absences.
Thank you for the consideration with my absences.
No problem. Thank you for being so communicative, rather than just disappearing without an explanation.
I try. Also unpacking is gonna be crazy so if I don't post assume I am lost to the boxes and I will return as quick as I can. We are hoping to be done by next weekend.
Yes, both attack and damage, but the latter only applies to direct hits and not the splash. You should add that in yourself when applicable.
I fail at math sometimes... Actually a lot of the time.
I'll move us to Malak farm soon, assuming there are no objections. Are you planning on coming back right away, or resting in between?
I think some testing is in order.
I agree. I say we rest the night. Maybe Khardir and Vibenia could perform long-term care on Bernard?
Well my vote would have been to push though and rest in the town. Since a there and back trip is forty minutes. Safer rest is better rest but If I'm out voted then that is what happens.
Nisany, I think we're all on the same page. We mean to rest in town after visiting Malak's farm.
Woot! I am always confused!
Sorry, but I might not get in a big post until next Monday. I have an important deadline coming up on Sunday, which is taking up most of my time. I'll try to get in a smaller one so you can do stuff in town.
Okay, there we go. I finally put something together for tracking your relationships to the different households in town: you can find it in the NPC gallery. Were I proficient with such things, I probably would have made an Excel sheet or something, but this will have to do. Remember that Bernard treats any Abadarans as if they were one step friendlier, and members of the other faiths as one step more unfriendly. The same applies for Vibenia and the Green Faith. People you have done quests for are always helpful towards all of you, regardless of their religion.
The Malaks are now helpful, obviously. That means you get a 10% discount on milk and butter! :P
Very nice!
Butter? Now we just need to rescue a baker and get 10% off biscuits!

Love the new chart, GM! It's got me all pumped to convert all those attitudes to Helpful. Cheers!
@Bernard: I'm glad that you like it! Concerning your latest gameplay post: considering your act of charity towards the Bellathis, I don't think the Shelynites would let you wander out of their temple without some healing. I'll get to it in my next post, with as little retconning as possible.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Really tired and failing to comp rend all the text words. I will wait till the part about Bernard bleeding out drunkenly in a chair is changed.
Though if that part is left, if he kept that hidden from the priests by chance Nisany will run back to town and bring someone to Bernard. That might let you avoid the retconning. You know cause drunks can be sneaky.
I slept! That sleep lead to me realizing that when I leveled Nisany I missed the discovery thing. So That is going to be infusions so I can share the buffs and cures I have. So sorry! This is one of the many reasons sleep is important.
Feel free to roleplay amongst yourselves, if you have something in mind—Bernard already dropped a good hook in his last post. Otherwise, let me know if there is anything else you'd like to do in town, or if you're ready to move on. You could take a day or two before heading back, but I promise you the kobolds won't be just sitting idly and waiting for you to come and off them... ;P
No, just mundane alchemicals. Healing potions are easily purchasable from either of the temples, however.
Edit: Scratch that, she totally is an alchemist. I was looking at the wrong stat line.
Things seem to have quieted down. Are we ready to move on, and if we are, would you like to head straight back to the warrens on the morrow? Or is there something you'd like to do in town before that?
I personally would like to finish one thing before we start the next. :)
Sure, I just noticed a lull in the conversation. Let me know when you're ready!
Sounds good. I'm ready to move on. Bel would like to buy a potion of cure light wounds from the apothecary before heading out to the Warrens.
Sorry busy weekend and work wore me out last night.
It would probably be a good idea to have a few CLW on hand, for that matter. Vibenia will probably pick one up as well.
I'll give Bernard until tomorrow before I move things forward. He hasn't posted in a while, so I'll shoot him a PM as well.
Apologies! Been whirled off my feet by a successful Kickstarter launch. The dust's finally settling, so I should be able to get back to my usual posting. Heading over to the game play thread now.
@Bernard: Hey, I'm just glad you're still around. Congratulations on the successful... uh, kickstart? Seems like a really cool project! Let me know if you ever need a Finnish translation... ;P
@Everyone: Just as a heads up: I'll be out of town for the weekend, so I might not get in another post until Monday. Not that weekends are usually all that lively anyway, but there you go.
I'm back, and it seems like my prediction was accurate. Ready to continue whenever you are...
Great post, GM. And that's with no ass-kissery. I love those chunky setting posts. Really helps bring the focus back on the rp.
Well, thank you. I'm glad that you enjoyed it. :)
I almost forgot to update the quest list. Nighttail for president!
*nudge*
I will move on tomorrow with the assumption that Vibenia scouts ahead and tries to kill the sentry, assuming we don't get any objections by then.
