An unfortunate fact of life is that TWF in pathfinder is quite nerfed in comparison to high str 2H fighting
unfortunately, Jarreck is NOT a high strength character :-), so if I am attacking with the +1 longsword my attack bonus is +5 while if attacking with TWF I am getting 2 d20+3 attacks for effectively a -2 penalty. Better chance to hit overall.
I'll keep everything as is, thanks for the options and comments.
I think they suggest that Mort because this place is a wasteland. Whatever cataclysm ruined this place could be blighted.
I like the Blight Druid because they get interesting spell options with Darkness and can get some interesting damaging spells. Aren't there also ways that druids can get more necromantic effects like this?
I like the Blight Druid as well, I'm thinking I already got most of the necromancy spells with having Fell Magic from the Gnomes.
I'm just a little worried I guess, that I'm too overcomitted towards having effects to which constructs/robots are immune. Especially when you focus on Necromancy spells like I do.
There are some nice Feats for me though, this one jumped at me.
, though the link doesn't seem to work the effects seem very fitting to me.
I was trying to find some way for you to get the dreaded Enervation. But I could not.
Well I could get that spell, if I take/took the Loss subdomain from the Darkness Domain.
Then I get it as a 5th level bonus spell.
Ring of spell knowledge?
Loss wouldn't be a terrible idea, but I wish you could cast it more than once per day. The ring might help with that.
I'll be away from keyboard the entire day of tomorrow, bot me if needed guys.
Hey Omo, I took a look at that book. I wholeheartedly agree with the premise and the workaround proposed by the author. If you want to use those crafting rules, I'm in.
Also, Mort we can use These Rules to design poisons for you.
Nice, I'll see if I can think about some poisons eventually, probably going to call on animals for those though. I'm still not really sure how the price is being calculated.
Omo's AC is 21
10+3+3+1+4= 21
I'd like to thank you guys for your continued posting and high post rate.
We began this game back in August/September and we already have over 2200 posts in the gameplay thread.
Yeah, we are getting nasty weather down here from that storm. However, its not ice just a bunch of rain.
Jarreck there is always this option if you wanted to rebuild. It's very tech-focused, and kind of scary.
If I were going to dip into a class from rogue, that would be the one I go into.
Wow, Guaire was a damage dealing machine in that fight!
True. He was a boss!
I think we may need to rest down here. Jarreck, can you use your know-how to secure the doors? We don't want the other metal men, Trett, or This I to attack us when we are weak.
Archery is the best damage style in pathfinder. They can almost always full attack. DR does hit them hard but there's ways around that.
I was kind of amazed how those dice were going, reminds me of Niles' rolls when he wants to intimidate people. He's boss at that too, nobody messes with the ice sorceress.
So I guess Seventeen probably realises what she is right now and it's going to turn her world upside down. She will likely be etattic for some time.
Best to take Clustered Shots as fast as possible Guaire, that's the way to get around DR.
^^Truth.
Okay I'm now seeing This I as a recurring enemy, slowly gaining experience and levels as he chases after us, cleaning up and eating all our defeated enemies.
Let us just hope that the ratfolk noticed that we defended him.
I hadn't really thought about him leaving the caves/crashed starship. I figured he would just stay down there, since that is all he knows.
He is a baby after all, he has no experience with the outside world and is driven primarily by primal motives. Fear, Hunger and the urge to know more about the world.
Well eventually hunger would drive him into our world I suspect, but for now there's enough food for him to find down here.
Welcome to level 4. Please post your level up info here.
Cool, i'll have it up in a bit.
Niles, are there any special animal companions for this AP?
Because from lvl 4 onwards i can take either an animal companion or focus on the team.

May I take Androffan? I've been working with Jarreck on the tech stuff.
Jarreck were you interested in going Techslinger? (which I think would be awesome) If not, I could put the gun to use.

Seventeen, would you be willing to let Omo copy See Invisibility from your spellbook?
Of course.
Thank you. I wish the reverse were possible.
@Omo Yup on the language. Your gonna have a few weeks of downtime.
@Guaire Hmm, not sure. What does the player's guide say?
@Everyone Someone should think about gaining proficiency with Firearms....there will be them in abundance in the next Book.

Iron Gods Adventure Path. Talk to your GM about these
animals and see if they are a good fit for your character
and campaign.
These carnivorous marsupials, sometimes called
tumblespikes, are irritable desert-dwelling creatures that
even predators leave alone. They are aggressive and often
attack creatures that are larger than themselves. Pilos plow toward their foes and attempt to gore these foes with
their spikes, bellowing a wheezing series of grunts. When
provoked by a creature much larger than themselves
or a particularly dangerous predator, pilos roll up into
a spiny ball to deter attacks. Their aggressive nature
means that they often fight until they die or until their
opponent perishes or flees. Though pilos are only 3 feet
long, their muscular bodies and spikes-which constantly
grow-contribute to their So-pound weight. Like many
marsupials, pilos carry their young in a pouch, which they
protect by remaining rolled up except when hunting

Also called dustshroud rabbits, soricos dig out warrens in
the desert sands, where they remain protected from the
elements and predators alike. These communal animals live
in vast tunneling colonies like ants, each working endlessly
to provide for the warren. They dig tunnels and burrows,
shoring up the sides of the passages with sticky saliva that
hardens into a temporary cement. Since they constantly toil
in their warrens, their tawny fur collects fine dust and sand
particles. As an instinctive means of defense, soricos shake
themselves violently, which loosens the sand and creates a
distracting cloud of dust that allows them to escape from
predators. Soricos measure 3 feet long, stand 2 feet tall, and
weigh ioo pounds. Those who hunt soricos find their meat
delicious, comparable to that of a farm-raised rabbit.

Petromins, also known as azure gliders, are desert cliff-top
dwellers that glide down to snatch prey. As a defense, their
coloration is countershaded; the blue, sky-like coloration
on their undersides makes them hard to notice from the
ground, while their brown fur helps them blend into desert
vistas below, hiding them from predatory birds. The fur
of petromins is awash in sapphire-blue bioluminescence,unnoticeable during the day but distinctive from dusk until
dawn. Petromins have control over this natural light, which
allows them to attract the large insects on which they feed. A
petromin measures 30 inches in length (including a 6-inchlong
tail) and weighs 5 pounds. A spellcaster can select a
petromin as a familiar, and the master gains a +3 bonus on
Stealth checks as a special ability.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Cloaked (Ex) A petromin is invisible to creatures using only
darkvision, but can be detected by other means.
Gliding Flight (Ex) A petromin can't hover or fly up at an angle greater than 45 degrees while flying. It must end its turn on the ground.
Luminous (Ex) A petromin naturally sheds light equal to
that provided by a candle. It can control the color of the illumination. As a swift action, it can extinguish the light.
I might as well pick it up too, does that just require a rank in linguistics?
I'm looking forward to going shopping when we get back to the surface. Is the 20% discount still in effect?
My plan for firearms is to see if Jhestine has the formula for Bestow Weapon Proficiency -- along with several other formula -- if not, I plan to research it so I can use the gun.
Maybe Father will let me raid his spellbook too.
Good thought, I hadn't considered that.
With retraining a feat, i could switch from bows to firearms.
Wouldn't be too odd of a choice, considering things'll get more resistant to arrow i reckon.
And these energy weapons hit touch AC which is nice.
Or you could retrain and become a techslinger. :-p Mostly, I think it would be awesome to have a techslinger in the party. Mostly because they make guns terrifying. And they can use their deeds for heavy weaponry.
I'm going for flexibility and battlefield control on Seventeen. Need someone to do the damage, might as well be Guaire and Omo.
@Seven Yep 1 rank in linguistics, and someone to teach you (Jarreck).
Did you forget about your archetype.
Lucky Dodge (Ex): At 3rd level, a galvanic saboteur can
dodge the precise attacks of even the most technologically
advanced foes. The ranger gains a luck bonus to AC against
attacks that target his touch AC as long as his opponent's type
matches that of his first favored enemy. This luck bonus is
equal to 1/2 the ranger's favored enemy bonus against that
creature type. At 8th, i3th, and i8th levels, the ranger gains
this luck bonus to AC against attacks that target touch his
AC as long as his opponent's type matches his second, third,
and fourth favored enemy, respectively. A galvanic saboteur's
animal companion (if he chose one for his hunter's bond) also
gains this luck bonus. This ability replaces favored terrain.
I don't see that on your sheet anywhere.
This'll make lasers and guns fired by Constructs (Like Meyanda!) alot harder to hit you.
