Hello all!
Planning to begin this right after Gen Con, as I know at least one of my players will be in attendance.
I'll get my online profile updated when I get home from work today. In the meantime, it looks like we have 2 archers and a caster, so we could probably use my monk as a front-liner. Unless we want to use my bomber alchemist and just have an all ranged party! He could also hand out buffs like false life, barkskin, or greater invisibility, especially to help our level 7 survive. Any thoughts (both of mine are level 10)? And are we expecting anyone else?
Indeed, Timber is pretty buff. :-)
There was one more person who put their name down, but no details, so I don't even know what level or anything.
I've also left recruiting open. But I'm okay running with four; it's Season 1, after all.

He was wanting to join, but is deployed and trying to see what character he will have. Most likely another Monk.

Oh, okay, didn't know he was deployed.
I can be a little more forgiving for circumstances like that. :-)

He should be able to post, I just don't think he is aware this is open yet. Ill let him know when I get off today and he can see.

Running with Darkvision and False Life extracts up already.
Kalendir, since you're playing up, I can hook you up with some false life, barkskin, and shield extracts if you want them.
If you want to drop the Darkvision for something else to buff the lower level players, I can give you something that you will never need it again.
Bishop 10
Ignatius 11
Kalendir 7
San Xiao 10
Evan 10
Xiaobo 9
You're in luck, Ignatious, cos that's high tier. :-)
We have an alternate should anyone want/need to drop, but we're otherwise ready to go in earnest starting Monday, August 3. Feel free to sound off in the Gameplay thread and introduce your PC if you haven't already.

Not a problem. I wouldn't have dropped out, it's just this character is so old it goes back to one of the earlier rules that when I played down, which I often had to, I received the low tier monies, and even when I put DM credit on him towards the mid levels, it was often still in the low tier. Wealth-wise, he is pretty low for an 11.2 character, not that I mind too much.
This will also be the first time I've actually played with wings, which was my goal from the start, and pre-EotT also the last time. I don't intend to break the game by flying and just throwing down fireballs or anything, but I do want to actually play with it a bit, too. So normally, I have 2 Shield Others prepped, and enough rings to pass out to the party, but with the Range factor, it's just not going to work. I do, however, have 2 Breath of Life's (one scroll, one spell) if needed, and I will easily drop back and buff/heal if needed.
If anyone has any special Spell requests, we still have some time, and I do own pretty much every book. That being said, one of my highest level spells may be spoken for.

Also, I have a free Feat I can swap out. I chose Heighten Spell, just because I really didn't see anything I really wanted.
Any suggestions?
I'm looking more for something cool and thematic rather than powerful or broken, just nothing is really jumping out at me. I've survived 11 levels without Selective Channel, (wanted to see realistically how viable it is, and so far not a single problem), and while Selective Spell would be great, I do not qualify (yet). Not really enough elemental spells for Elemental spell to be worth it, (and honestly fire is the worst possible choice). Further Channel Feats just seem boring and mostly worthless. Other ideas?

Divine Intervention is the shiz.
Thanks this for being understanding. this is the character i want to bring i am waiting to finish up last fight now then he will level and be good
Let me know if you want some extracts to buff when we start. You could probably get a lot of use out of heroism and shield.

I just found out that I may be going to the field on the 3rd for a week. It isn't certain yet, and I am not sure if I will have internet or not. I should have at least phone access, but there is the possibility I will not have signal. I can't say for sure. Just a heads up.
I'll let you know more as soon as I can, and I'm perfectly okay with being botted a few days if needed.

I just wanted to say that I am in fact going out to the field for about a week. I've been told that there will be internet access out there, so I should be able to continue to post, but there is always a chance that this was false. So just a heads up, it may be slow or paused for a bit starting Monday.
No worries. We'll adapt. :-)

Speaking as both GM and player here: my view (and it's JMSO, just my stupid opinion) is that you, as a player, have invested in your PC to do x, and therefore when a challenge arises that x turns into something easy/trivial/bypassed/whatever, you're getting ROI on your investment, which is absolutely fine by me.

My thoughts exactly.

For reference, the rules on damage via falling objects is here. If Bishop's poor awesome decision was well-aimed, the skum should take 3d6 damage or half that (GM discretion).
What I've never understood about that section is whether Bishop (probably) takes 18d6 falling damage and 1d6 nonlethal himself, or the same as the skum, or both...
I would interpret it like this:
Flurry of Maneuvers (Ex): make one additional maneuver as part of a full attack with a -2 to all maneuver checks that round. 2 maneuvers, -2 on each. If you only make one maneuver, no penalty.
At level 8: make two additional maneuvers as part of a full attack with a -5 to all maneuver checks that round. 3 maneuvers, -5 on each. If you only make one additional maneuver, you still only take a -2 on each of those two. If you only make one maneuver, no penalty.
In all cases, use your monk level as your BAB before applying other bonuses or penalties.
For a "normal" flurry, you'd just use your regular flurry bonus.
For a flurry with a maneuver, you'd use your regular flurry bonus for the attack, and then calculate your flurry bonus with your monk level as BAB, then subtract 2, to figure the bonus for the maneuver roll.
For a flurry with more than one maneuver, you'd use your regular flurry bonus for the attack, and then calculate your flurry bonus with your monk level as BAB, then subtract 5, to figure the bonus for each maneuver roll.
I'm good with you guys using a number of flame strike spells to destroy all the stones. With that kind of divine energy, that should render them inert. Is that the plan? Obviously it'll take staying more than one day to re-prep the spells, but there's no significant danger anymore.
We're basically done here; just the denouement to determine total prestige awarded.
