Hey there.

I swear I had a text posted, like 3 or 4 days ago. Sorry, I should have noticed the post didn't get through. I don't know what happened, and I don't have a back up, so I'll have to make up something else, which I'll do as soon as I get home. Sorry again.

Seven, Guaire and Jarreck level on up to 12

Wanted to update you all on a bit of a life situation. I've gotten an internship in the Sierras from July 23rd to August 23rd, and I'll be unable to post for that duration. I wanted to let you all know so I don't just up and vanish.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm about to take the family on holiday for two weeks. I'm expecting to have internet and should be able to post as normal but if I can't post for some reason you know why.

Niles will Seventeen be able to scribe a few scrolls on the way to HH? I'm actually not sure what her coin reserves are like, I think she had some left over from before this book so she could conceivably still have some spare ink.

Sure. Also, I don't know what happened to Jarreck. He sorta disappeared.

He's not posted for some time in my game too. Something must have happened.

Re scrolls, Seventeen had 1845g left according to Jarreck's spreadsheet.

I think Heroism is a useful buff so let's make 4x CL12 heroism scrolls. Cost = 4*3*12*25*0.5=1800g

Ok, so we are gonna reset the campaign here.

Everyone should be level 12 with lvl 12 WBL. If you are over, pare it down a little if you are under we can talk about what it is you want in the discussion thread. Assume stuff from CRB/Tech guide is available, other things will be case by case.

Niles what's the maximum price for magic items available? Seventeen has 26k worth of gear and WBL is 108k for level 12.

MARKETPLACE
Base Value 6,400 gp; Purchase Limit 37,500 gp; Spellcasting 7th

37500 right?

Niles, subject to approval:

Seventeen had a cloak of resistance +2, let's upgrade to +5 that's 25000-4000 = 21000g spent.

She had a headband of vast intellect +2 let's upgrade that to +6 for 21000+ 36000g-4000g = 57000g spent.

Let's buy a greater rod of giant summoning, 24500g + 57000g = 81500g spent.

Let's buy a necklace of adaption, 9000g + 81500g = 90500g spent.

Let's buy a Numerology Cylinder, 5000g + 90500g = 95500g spent.

I'm away from my computer but that probably brings her close to WBL.

Cloak yes
Headband yes
Rod 1d100 ⇒ 80 no
Necklace yes
Numerology 1d100 ⇒ 2 yes

Guaire?

I'll get to work on it later today.

I noticed i didn't take a lvl 11 feat, only the 10th lvl feat of my class combat styles. I'll take Improved critical, putting my crit range now to 19-20.

My current gear, excluding minor misc stuff:

Adamantine heavy flail (3015)
Bane (mech) longbow +2 (10.075)
Bracelets of Mind Sentinel (3500)
Breastplate +1 (1200)
Laser rifle [timeworn & unused/few charges] (10.000) Can be pawned off to null the 10k.

Skillslot (unused) 2000
Veemod goggles [brown version] (1200)
=================
20.990

Skill chip
Are there chips for perception? I'd buy a mark 5 if so. (5000)
Cloak of resistance +5 (25.000)
Ring of protection +3 (18.000)
Endless ammo enhancement on my mechbane bow. (8000)

Total so far: 76.990 gp.

Belt of Dex +4 (16.000) > 92.990
Leaves me 15k for variables here?

Profile updated. Much better perception now.

(now to get darkvision ^^)

If I add a +2 property to a +2 weapon, does it cost me 8k gold? That's a nice variation to have into account, there are some magic properties I had in mind for the future :)

At least i think it does.

The Endless Ammunition mentions [Price +2], magic weapons of +2 are 8k.
Although, if it works like upgrading a magic item (+2) to higher tier (+4), i'd have to pay a difference of 24k.

I'll leave that up to Niles.

Err. If you take an item from a +2 to a +4 you pay the difference in cost....So if its a +1 Bow, and you add Endless Ammo it becomes a +3 bow, you pay the difference in cost between a +1 bow and a +3 bow.

It was a +2 bow already.

At 2nd look, i noticed it is not possible too. You mentioned Cl 7, while endless required Cl 9. I'll look for some other item when i'm home again.

Aw, my pleasure in a well... :(

For making items don't worry so much about CL. You can craft items outside of your CL.

I'll reduce the dex belt from +4 to +2, freeing 12k.
That will cover the upgrading expenses for the bow with the 15k leftover.

Niles I know we've left town but before we did so, would Seventeen have been able to copy a few spells?

* Chain Lightning
* Chains of Light
* Emergency Force Sphere
* Heightened awareness

Also she'd have liked to buy a wand of haste if possible: 11250g

She is still below wbl but I suspect that's OK :)

Chain Lightning yes
* Chains of Light 1d100 ⇒ 47 no
* Emergency Force Sphere 1d100 ⇒ 10 yes
* Heightened awareness 1d100 ⇒ 69 yes

Thanks Niles. I edited the above to include the wand, was that available?

Wand yes

Hey y’all, I’ve just found my way out of the woods. I’d love a recap on what’s happened, but if not I’ll have to take a few days to get back up to speed.

I'm re-reading magic weapon enhancements again, and Lanyssa could be correct?

It says this about special qualities on a weapon:
Special abilities count as additional bonuses for determining the market value of the item, but do not modify attack or damage bonuses (except where specifically noted).

This might mean any of the +X dmg is not consumed by a quality as i had initially thought.

I'm incorporating that in my post's dmg roll, but will leave it to Niles' discretion.

Note: I didn't say a special quality on a weapon added its equivalent bonus to hit and damage; I just thought it was a +4 bow and the bonuses were straight enhancement bonuses, not special qualities. The rule, as to how I understand it, states that if you use the bonuses to purchase special qualities then you don't get to add them as enhancement.

Example: You could have a +1 Endless Ammunition Longbow, which would add +1 to hit and damage and have the Endless Ammunition Special Quality, and would be priced as a +3 Longbow in total.

One other thing the magic item rules state is that the weapon needs to have a straight +1 enhancement bonus minimum before starting converting further bonuses into special qualities, by the way.

Lanyssa's example is exactly correct. A +1 endless ammo longbow costs the same as a +3 longbow, but only gives a +1 to attack and damage (as well as the endless ammo)

Ok....so that still mean i still am effectively using a +1 bow.
1d8+1 + qualities.

Any means to effectively increase straight dmg and attack potential? I've seen much more lethal bow attacks.

I could pick up deadly aim next level, but it will reduce my attack rolls further by another -4.

You can get bows with stronger pulls which add up to X strength damage. Bracers of archery might be worth buying.

True, composite longbows are also useful. The adaptive quality costs 1000 gp and makes it scale with your strength mod.

Can regular bows be modified into composite bows?

I’d say that’s up to the GM. I generally rule that you can, but it varies.

Maybe (and I'm stressing maybe) with the tech at hand you could add some pulls or any other mechanism to turn your bow into a composite one. You only need it to be composite (+0), then add the Adaptive quality (which doesn't eat any +1) for 1000 gp and you're done.

Welcome to the world of having nightmares with Dispel Magic xD

Lol, dispel magic on a flying city. ^^

Tired now will try to post tomorrow.

Will get a post in later today.

Hey guys,

It's with the most heavy of hearts that I make this post.

I can't GM this one anymore. I hate that I have to admit it, but I have to admit it. I'm struggling to find time to make barebones posts in the few games I'm playing in, much less something more substantive here. This isn't going to get easier for me with the birth of my 3rd kid coming in the next week or so. I've been keeping this thing going on life support for like 2 years now, but its just getting harder and harder. I'd like to thank all of you for contributing to an extra fun game on here.

Thanks and happy gaming,

Niles

That's a pity to hear, but family's most important.
Speaking of which, congratulations on your 3rd!

Any idea if it's a boy or a girl?

Thank you for running this campaign thus far, Niles.
I'd join a table of yours anytime. ;)

Guess I saw this one coming :( Still a 3rd kid, congratulations! Going to stick with two personally ;)

Anyway thanks for the games Niles, I've enjoyed this campaign immensely and the Falcon's Hollow Hollow mini-AP before it.

Seven, i'd like to continue, if you're up for it, provided we find someone willing and able to finish it.

Niles, Mort sends his congratulations with your 3rd. :)

Shame to hear. Congratulations of the new kid coming along!
