It seems I made some rather unfortunate spell choices when selecting spells to memorize this (game) morning. I'm beginning to wonder if I should get Scribe scroll at level 9.
To what lvl does the Iron Gods AP go?
18 or so

Wow....i guess there's some planning ahead to do.
I'll explain all that happened on Mort's turn here.
Mort succeeded in both dealing damage with the Whirlwind AND trapping the Swarm who must now make a RefDC13 each round or be trapped. He then moved North into A2. The Door between A1 and A2 was trapped with what basically amounted to a lightning bolt trap. Both Mort AND the Swarm passed the Reflex DC so they took 1/2 damage...but the swarm takes +50% so..there we are.
Mort basically is sacrificing himself so that you guys can pelt the Swarm with bombs/Grenades.
That's basically it, but I guess I was very lucky as well. As for the Save DC Niles I rounded my half HD downwards, so that's why I thought it was DC 12 instead.
:( The forums have made posting painful. Updating 5 campaigns when it's like this is quite the chore.
Lol, I thought you guys were already level 8.... ok well its 1 lower but it's now way too late to retcon

I saw you're running Fallout, Niles.
Where is it situated, in terms of major cities or areas?
Yeah, Thegreenteagamer introduced me to the Savage Worlds ruleset and I love it! My Fallout game is based off of a pdf I picked up on the cheap called "Broken Earth" and its set in the Upper Midwest of the US (Minnesota, Michigan, Iowa eventually perhaps Illinois and even maybe Chicago). Currently the group is rescuing captured slaves from Grand Rapids Michigan, a place known as Rapid Town.
Sounds Fallout a town. :)
I've played all, except Fallout #4.
I love the open world and the multiple options of choice for situations.
This nanite encounter is strange. I bet this spot has had more than its fair share of TPKs.
Probably, but our prepared spells could have also been used. The wind spells are pretty effective against this sort of swarm as well. I was wondering myself if I should transform or cast a Gust of Wind spell
I have no idea how gust of wind would interact with a nanite swarm. It's a confined space so I doubt it would blow it away.
I guess you could make a case that the 2d6 damage applies to the swarm but not Mort. That sounds useful if it works.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Fascination (Ex) As a standard action, a bionanite cloud can create a series of hypnotic waves of color to fascinate creatures within 30 feet. The distraction of a nearby combat or other dangers prevents this ability from working, but otherwise, all affected creatures must succeed at a DC 19 Will save or become fascinated. The biona nite cloud can maintain this effect each round after initial activation as a move action. This is a visual mind-affecting effect. The save DC is Dexterity-based.
Reconstructive Healing (Ex) As a swift action, a bionanite cloud can heal a single living target it shares a space with, healing 1d6 points of damage. The cloud often triggers this ability
when it reduces a creature to negative hit points, so as to stabilize the target. The cloud can administer this healing in an
instant before resolving any actual damage dealt to prevent a
creature's death from its swarm attack.
Weakness (Ex) When a bionanite cloud damages a living
creature, it disrupts the transmission of nerve impulses to the
creature's muscles, causing 1d4 points of Strength damage. A
successful DC 15 Fortitude save negates this Strength damage,
but a creature that is nauseated takes a -4 penalty on this
saving throw. The save DC is Constitution-based.
The only thing I changed was to give it max HP, which is what I do to all enemies you face that are single opponents.
No sorry, I did not. Was it a PM or did you email my personal email?
No, I'll check again. My personal email is niles97424@yahoo.com
I got your email. I just overlooked it somehow in the queue, sorry.

I've updated the HP on the map and removed a nannite canister. Those things are our true measure of wealth.
I've got a new kid coming in 5-6 weeks and I'm freaking out about that a little. The forums are not really a priority for me right now, and realistically the next 6-9 months are going to suck (lack of sleep etc). You might want to think about replacing me.
1st, congratulations.
2nd, you'll pull through.
3rd, let's hope not.
Grats on the new kid coming along, thirding Guaire's comments as well.
I very much would not want to replace you...my youngest is nearing 1 year old at the moment. It was a rough few months but now he's pretty easy.
Thank you for your kind words. Please bear with me.

Sorry for the delay guys/gals, super busy today, left work and went car shopping for my youngest. I refuse to believe I'm that old already. Must be why my dice are so fickle, I've use up my good rolls already :)
Niles if it works better for you, Jarreck will delay until Seven has worked her magic and then proceed, with his movement and stealth.
I know you don't want to be mixing it up in melee right now, Guaire. But don't forget that you do have an adamantine flail.
I know, but with Niles dice rate, i'm giving 80% chance it's a 1 hit kill.
I think Guaire should avoid melee given his current HP. If Omo has more grenades left maybe Guaire could use those?
Times like this, i'd like being able to do Mort's archer dmg output....at his lvl 5....
Jarreck, I wanted to thank you for doing the loot sheet. Did you see the loot from the top of this post? I didn't see it on the sheet but did not want to double enter it either.
Niles, not that it mattered much, and i personally forgot about it too.
My archetype gives me the following bonus:
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.
I'm also thinking of maybe dipping into tech slinger.
The tech based gunslinger is great. I really think it would be awesome in this AP. Even retraining to it might not be the worst idea.
True, but the abundant ammo spell might be useful, as long as cartridges will count as ammunition the same way as arrows interact with it.
You don't really need that spell because techslingers get:
Covet Charge (Ex) At 1st level, a techslinger can spend 1 grit point to use 1 charge fewer than normal when firing a technological weapon (minimum 0), as long as the weapon has enough charges remaining to be fired at least once. This deed replaces deadeye.
But I think the strongest argument for retraining if you are interested in the techslinger is that at 5th level they get to add dex to damage for a chosen weapon.

Think you're talking about the loot from room A4 and if so I missed it, think we went into a fight about the same time we found it. However as stated above I am traveling and my sheet has been loading for 10 minutes on this wonderful internet service available at the hotel. No telling how many tries it take to get this post to process :)
The way i read that, is that i spend a grit point, and get the benefit just once, not last like abundant ammo.
Yes, it converts grit into ammo.
I don't know if abundant ammo works on nannite canisters. Niles could tell us.
Re:Grit to ammo. It works on any type of ammo, batteries or canisters.
re:Abundant Ammo, it does not work on nanite canisters. It would work however on a bullet pouch for more mundane ammo.
@Omo
Have you kept up with my rulings regarding Hellion and "upgrading" him? Because for whatever reason I've forgotten what I had decided on, and I don't have it saved anywhere.
I know we are using the Construct building rules as a base.
And an altered Leadership feat right?
Leadership, construct building rules, Hard points every 2 HD. A Hard point can be used to install any tech piece. These tech pieces give Mr. Hellion abilities keeping in theme of the item if non-weapons. (Weapons just do weapon things.)
With abundant ammo not working on canisters, I think that is an argument for retraining if that interests you, Guaire.
Niles, I think this means that Mr. Hellion gets another HD and a hard point this level. I think I want to install the hard light shield so that he gains protective buffing abilities. Does that sound reasonable?
