THE STORY SO FAR

So, lets be better at not only dividing out treasure but having us put it on our character sheets and REMEMBER to use it!

I'm guilty of this. While I did put down the Cockroach Vest on my sheet, I kinda forgot about it. I didn't go back and do the math, but it might have kept Kappi from going unconscious in the last fight and he wouldn't have wasted an action or two just getting back on his feet.

Does Vojtek want the Giant Ice/Frost WarHammer of Killing?
and the +2 Belt of Con?

Kappi would accept the Talisman of Freedom

What about the Rod of quickening and stuff?

Lets get it divided out.

Per Diem:
  • Rod of Grasping Hexes 3/3
  • Levitate 1/1
  • Flight Minutes 9/9
  • Healing Hex used: None
  • Icicle Wand: 21 Charges
  • Swift Cackle 2/2, Cap 1/1
  • Agreed!

    Quickened is likely best for Ali. Magi need help with action economy.

    Yes if he stops throwing his weapons and going with his "claws" Of course Ed can use it, but he's more of a ranged guy.

    and the +2 Belt of Con?

    Ed can use it, your healing comes from his hp pool, the longer I can not waste actions on healing me is the more damage I can do.

    Quote:
    Kappi would accept the Talisman of Freedom

    Talisman of Freedom:
    Talisman of Freedom: These talismans are inscribed with the names of spirits and other figures associated with freedom and liberation. The first time that the wearer becomes grappled, entangled, or paralyzed, he is automatically affected by freedom of movement for 3 rounds. Moderate abjuration; CL 7th; freedom of movement.
    Is this a one time use item? Sounds like it will be good against the Spider we have in our future. All of us can use it, but our largest damage dealer is Vojtek if he can be free for 3 rounds it could be a game changer. Ali and Kappi can avoid area attacks easier than Vojtek right?
    Quote:

    I trust Davosh on this, if Ali needs help with action economy then it's hers.

    Excellent point about the Talisman of Freedom for Vojtek. Likely super useful vrs the bigbadspider

  • Agreed on the talisman. Let's give it to Vojtek for the spider, and likely Kappi after if it doesn't get used then, since Kappi is more likely to get stuck than Vojtek under normal conditions.

    Hell, Ali would take the hammer as a new & improved backup weapon! But only if no one else does.

    On the Rod: can that be stuck in the belt & touched at will, or must it be in-hand to use? Because that would be a little counter-indicated, savvy?


    Character Sheet | Tactical Map | XP

    Vojtek would ordinarily be a good choice for the Con, but I took extra rage for him to the point where he has more rounds of rage than he would ever need. So Edward seems like the best choice for that.

    He'll wear the talisman for the next fight then yield it to Kappi.

    That hammer tho... THAT is right up his alley.

    Real Life Comes First [tm], gents. I know what you're working on. This game isn't going anywhere.

    KI AH! The game Kempo go on later. :P. Consider the characters resting and learning proper spells for the Belbith.

    Of course the DM could let us know if Jadrenka is willing to help us navigate within the sisters, or a boon to help deal with the demon spider.


    Five-star Hound of Tindalos. Er, GM. Whatever. | RoW Encounter Map | A Fistful of Flowers slides

    For the record, and something I mentioned to Davosh a little while back: this particular book has been my least favorite Tim Hitchcock adventure ever. (That covers some ground, as that non-exhaustive list suggests.) I'm more than ready to move on to the next phase.

    I'm fine with y'all tackling the bebelith after a rest, and assuming you survive Jadrenka will give you a get-out-of-the-Three-Sisters-free card, plus it will give you enough experience to reach level 9.

    I'll take your word for it that his other stuff is better. So far the only Pathfinder official stuff I have done has been CotCT, one PFS adventure, some of Skulls and Shackles, and this with you.

    As a whole, and I'm not commenting on your GMing, I think this is the weakest AP. I know that there is much behind the scenes that the GM gets to read, but so far this story is lacking much. Like that last boss Vselvod he was just there, there was no build up, no reason for him to be there, 2 frost giants in a small room that begs the question "how did they get there?" crawl through the dungeon that was to small for them? Not to mention, 2 more large creatures that couldn't fit though the doors.

    So finish book 3 and be 9th level? What level does the AP end at? should we expect 18th level for the final portion of the last book, or less?

    The AP level guides are designed for four PCs when calculating APL; with a fifth character, you guys are a tad behind their curve but have never been more than one level down, and I intend to keep it that way. You guys will probably be 16th level at the AP's end.

    Book 3 was very much exploring Iobaria and the centaur realm (Vurnirn in particular), and the Three Sisters felt...I dunno, tacked on, I guess? The missed golden opportunity to foreshadow Vsevolod in Vurnirn is glaring, and coupled with the "He's evil, that's motivation enough" sketchiness of his villainy just makes me shake my head.

    Ah, well. I hope we all enjoy Book 4 better. :-)

    You have kind of set a precedence and can only blame yourself.

    I will apologize on this account as I am wrong.

    However, in another game you have a character that seems to pick and choose what ability modifier he uses for at least one skill.

    Greater magic weapon is a level 3 Magus spell. Get. It.

    Clay skin is pretty good. Displacement is a nice defensive buff.

    Lightning bolt and fireball are classics, of course. Dispel magic is utilitarian, though you'll frequently have better things to do with your Standard action, and you'll struggle with MAD, so it may not be the best choice.

    Five-star Hound of Tindalos. Er, GM. Whatever. | RoW Encounter Map | A Fistful of Flowers slides

    They don't stack, so you only get the highest plus; but in your case you'd spend the pool points for other stuff.

    And GMW lasts a looooong time.

    My shopping list is small, but sadly expensive :(

    Bracers of the Merciful Knight 15,600
    Phylactery of Positive Channeling 11,000
    Headband of Alluring Charisma (or belt of physical stats str and con) +2 4k, +4 16k, +6 32k

    Of course I could use a better bow. A +1 adaptive Comp long bow is only 3550


    Five-star Hound of Tindalos. Er, GM. Whatever. | RoW Encounter Map | A Fistful of Flowers slides

    We'll say both the +2 belts and headbands are available, no roll needed.

    The dice are not in your favor this time. Not available in Vurnirn.


    Five-star Hound of Tindalos. Er, GM. Whatever. | RoW Encounter Map | A Fistful of Flowers slides

    Although...the adaptive quality is only necessary for a STR rating. Edward doesn't currently have one to factor in. So we'll say a +1 composite longbow is available, just not an adaptive one.

    1) he probably wants adaptive for str buffs
    2) it’s a cheap add-on (not even a +1 equivalent, just a straight 1k) so I’ll bet he could add it later...no?
