Late night AND early morning. :-D
I have a convention this weekend myself (Gamehole Con in Madison, WI), for which I'm desperately trying to cram the prep for the scenarios I'm running since my favorite team just wont he freaking World Series and sapped a lot of the time I'd've spent doing that. (TOTALLY WORTH THE TIME SUNK.)
Will Kappi survive...?
This stove monster is kicking out butts
Edward! Happy Marine Corps Birthday you old Jarhead!
This stove monster is kicking out butts
It finds Kappi very tasty.
Nom nom nom.
This is likely to remain on hold until Thursday evening at the earliest.
In that spirit, happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
Happy Thanksgiving all!
Kappi is all for raising Vojtek.
Unless Adam would like to try another character
I vote, with both hands, to raise Vojtek. In fact...let me set the stage here.
A while back, Chris ran an adventure in a particular campaign we called "New Blood" and the dungeon had rooms "keyed" to specific characters. One of those rooms included a bardic puzzle (a verse that was a key to a cipher, to set levers/buttons/etc in a particular way). That puzzle was keyed to a character whose player was not present (Reagh). The group managed to figure it out, except for one thing: the lever (currently in the "up" position" had a middle and a down, and we didnt' know which of the 2 was right.
After a moment's thought, I got it. "It goes *all the way* because Reagh never does anything half-assed!" and I was right.
In the same vein, there is No Way In Hell that Vojtek would opt to rest if given the option to be raised. He would not stay down, having been killed by a youngling white, on his quest to kill a big-boy white.
HE GETS RAISED.
(unless Ed's spot-on suggestion is the right one, in which case please save this heartfelt tirade for the next death)
I concur!
DMTS, is cheat death an option?
Cheat death seems reasonable.
There'll be a cost associated (say, Logrivich's claws sundered his armor and his greatsword broke on the side of the clocktower as he collapsed), but he is alive and stable at -15 hp. And neither item is magical, so the cost is less.
Huzzah!
Please no one write anything on Vojtek's "ressurection"
Pending a pm w/ DMTS I have an idea...
Housekeeping: total for levels 2-4 of the clock tower is 9500 xp.
Related to the OOC discussion on the Gameplay thread, I've been looking for a nice way to reward you guys for some first-rate roleplay and character development; I've really felt the five distinct personalities in play through much of this book. :-)
These are likely to take the form of bonus feats that have some limited (but genuine) game use but are not especially powerful.
For Vojtek, the choice is obvious.
For Davosh, the choice is similarly clear.
I'm open to suggestions that fit your PC vision (or which you think would suit another PC particularly well). It does not need to be a feat, but please keep in mind the intent and try not to powergame it.
Bad ass and thank you!
I know what kinds of things I'd look for for the others, but it'll take me a bit to sift through. I'm ALMOST done running All for Immortality III, and I'm going to call that one a day.* That should give me much more time to focus here.
*Hard choice, it's a game of extremely high level characters and half the players are deployed, but AfI-3 is a great end note to a campaign. They were level 11 when we started and are now 15.
On levelling stuff...
spells: I have tentatively chosen Acid Arrow & Flaming sphere. Someone should know Glitterdust...S if you're not taking that, I'll swap out FS for it.
Magus arcana: I'm thinking Empowered Magic. Other suggestions?
HP: I forget, do we roll our HP or take average (half HD +1)?
Davosh's online profile needs a major overhaul. Will do tonight.
HP: I forget, do we roll our HP or take average (half HD +1)?
Hit points are 1/2 HD +1 (+ CON modifier).
Treasure: I think Ali is the only one who can use those wands. Taken.
Not sure about the scrolls, as I don't know Witch spell list that well.
Adamantine warhammer--we're keeping that one, good for objects & golems. I'll carry it if no one else wants to.
Gems & coins added to "undivided" section, which is getting sizeable!! there are alos a lot of items in Group Treasure, some of which isn't identified properly. Now that we've levelled, can we try again?
(Davosh...how do you have more HP than me??? actually, I recalced, and I have 51. how are we so close??)
Davosh has a UMD of +9. Getting to the point that it's useful....
HP I've been doing wrong:
Level 1: 6
Level 2-6: 5*4 = 20
Toughness: 6
Favored Class: 6
CON: 6*2=12
6+20+6+6+12=50
yeah, I just calc'd yours, and I agree, you're actually at 50. Your Con is higher than mine.
ali is fully leveled & ready--except for a Magus Arcana...
I also have the Quick Learner feat so I get favored class to HP and to Skills

Whoa! Thanks
I've really enjoyed my Kappi character, though I'm not sure how I would like to take advantage of the DM's kind offer.
If anyone has any thoughts, let me know.
Kappi strikes me as genuine and eager he's sympathetic to kids. I want to look for some off the beaten path feats that enhance that magnanimity.

Related to that image, I've been thinking that the Additional Traits feat to open access to a couple more traits might fit Kappi pretty well.
This is kind of out there, but I found a thing called apex warrior with draconic affinity. Would vojtek be able to start taking levels of that, even though it is designed for fighter/Ranger multiclass?
Hmm, not sure how comfortable I am dabbling outside Paizo material right now. I'd be willing to talk about practically any Paizo stuff, if you find something you like there. Maybe take a look at Bloodrager or (Davosh will hate this) Dragon Disciple?
How about the rage power "draconic blood, lesser" in place of the bloodline thing?
Let me read and cogitate on dragon disciple a bit.
Ack!!!!! pbtbatibitub...

Kappi is leveled up.
Took Positioning Attack for rogue talent.
Still thinking about how to take Thunderspirit's offered gift. (will check before adding something)
Kappi bought a tanglefoot bag and gp is already subtracted from his money.
Kappi has a little over 1000gp. He would happily give a share for the party to have a CLWs wand.
He would also give a share to make sure Vojtek maybe has some +1 magical armor. Especially after the insane effort, he wants to take care of his friend.
Is there a GP limit in town for magic items?
Also, can someone grab Vojtek some sort of pants and armor? He'll be waking up soon with nothing.
The fact that Baba Yaga's Hut has giant chicken legs is common enough folklore that I'll presume you know it well.
As for magic items, while there's a limit based on Whitethrone's size/population, there's also the fact that you're needing to go through the admittedly-extensive "black market" to get stuff. So arbitrarily I'm gonna say that the limit on any single individual item is going to be somewhere between 4000 and 5000 gp. Anything more than that is going to cause the authorities to start asking questions.
housekeeping
Kappi buys a +1 breastplate for Vojtek, 1200 gold.
Vojtek's purse was only 994gp after receiving his share.
Kappi makes up the extra 206gp. Though the lad will never say a thing about it.
Hmmm...i wasn't planning on picking up Craft Arms & Armor feat, but it's beginning to look like that might be a good choice. Ed/Davosh, any thoughts on that?
Can Ali pick up a masterwork Elven Curve Blade & MW Comp Longbow?
Davosh has scribe scroll, and I haven't had time to use it much...
especially since Ed paid Ali back, Ali has a lot of cash. If anyone needs anything, say so and I'll help. Ed has first dibs :-)

I'm good with things and items. Will need to build my fortune to afford some things. Magic bow would be nice to start and other things.
The Paizo crafting rules especially for smaller items like scrolls and stuff are wicked easy to craft even while "Adventuring". You don't need downtime anymore to magic stuff, nor consecutive days.
Ali, Davosh I will lend whatever spells that I can cast to create the items.
so...we could purchase enough raw materials to craft a couple of CLW wands? We should be doing that...
Point of order: how does that work, since Ali doesn't have cure light wounds on her spell list and Edward doesn't have the Craft Wand feat?

Uhh.. Magic?
Duh!
Is the "collaboration " rule still A Thing where one PC with the Craft feat can get help from another with the proper spell? (Was in3e...)
I like the "Summon Abilities" chain of feats. Often you can apply judicious use of the venerated "Mordenkainen's Lesser DM Befuzzlement" to achieve some really outlandish abilities... This one time, I cast "Awesome Story Enhancement IV" and turned being torn apart in an ill-advised toe-to-toe effort with a dragon into a rage power and a sweet +5 Vorpal Heart of Soul Corruption.
Also, Always use pencil on your character sheets boys, there is nothing like saving a trip to town for resupply than using your Rubber Nipple of Writing Obliteration by simply flipping you pencil over to bump up your consumables a bit.
For these tips and more, send three easy payments of 19 GPs, 9 SPs, and 5 CPs, (plus 1 PP shipping & handling) to:

This took some legit digging.
It was indeed a part of the 3.0/3.5 rules set, but was omitted in Pathfinder's Core rules. It was later clarified with an added feat from the Advanced Players Guide, then altered slightly in Ultimate Campaign, (though this last is under the optional rules for Downtime and Campaign Systems, and appears largely geared toward researching new items rather than replicating stuff that already exists.)
Sorry guys, I'm just not getting into that level of minutiae, without it being absolutely necessary — lazy, has-a-Real-Life-GM is lazy and has a Real Life.
So this requires a GM ruling, which will be: to craft a cure light wounds wand, Ali would need to have the spell on her spell list, or either Edward (or Davosh, as it's a witch spell) would also need to have the Craft Wand feat to assist. I see no need for the Cooperative Crafting feat to merely lend a hand; to speed up the process, though, sure.
Since this may leave Ali feeling her feat choice is sub-optimal, I'm willing to allow her to swap that feat out to another one for which she qualified when she took that feat.

I think Adam is ready for the game to move on...

Not at all...I did not intend for you (or anyone else) to do homework for me. Sorry for the confusion.
I have no problem keeping the feat; I think Magus is a really good choice for a wand-using class and I may craft more as time & funds permit.
