Fine with me. Up to GM to make the call.
Oops that was me lol
Now if only we found Oro-Tu wandering around down here ...
He is a tough cookie so maybe lol
You guys can go ahead and recruit if you like. I'll abide by whom the party chooses to join them.
Unless someone has an alternative to consider, it looks like he is in.
Oh I missed that. Sure, fine with me. Anyone disagree post now or hold your pieces.
works for me
That's a unanimous accept DM
Not that story line matters that much but do we want to assume he has always been with us or do we find him in the dungeon?
That'd be up to DM but I am OK going with Glade wolf was always a short dwarf inquisitor and we didn't ever pay attention lol.
I have no issue with suspending disbelief for the sake of expediency.
Hi!
or he was running behind and the gregarious orcs at the front pointed him our direction.
He could have just followed us in here and just now caught up to us. That would at least bridge the gap between expedient and not completely unbelievable.
Hello Klevum!
Perhaps my deity guided me to find you all? Inquisitor after all..
.
dang, that ogre got across the room fast, looks like it had the same idea I did...Charge...
sorry Ive been posting light.....laptop is on its deathbed so I stuck w just iPhone for a while.
Yes it did that's why I dropped the bow lol
I guess the silver lining here is that Einar can take a 25 point blow and still be alive...
In other good news, he will probably eat you first and maybe choke on a bone before he gets to the rest of us ... :)
if he eats me at all I hope he chokes on the bones...
Orc Blood: Half-orcs count as both humans and orcs for any effect related to race.
This has long mystified me as to how far "any effect related to race" goes. For our normal group, the GM usually just allows anything because we're all friends and he is going to make it hard on us anyway.
The obvious interpretation is "any spell or feat effect" related to race, but as written it is kind of left in the air.
The example that I am picking at here is whether or not a half-orc has access to all of the Human Favored Class bonus choices, Half-Orc Favored Class bonus choices, and Orc Favored Class bonus choices.
Thoughts?
Not that I am expecting to live past the ogre fight anyway ... :)
I believe it doesn't work for favored class bonuses as it is a racial bonus, and you count as both but only for effects, you don't actually get the racial abilities of either (there is a specific racial ability given to half orcs) unless you use a feat or trait that allows you to do so and usually that only works for one racial ability.
Not positive but I think I've looked this up before.
It definitely makes sense that since the Half-orc (and Half-elf) have their own specific favored class bonus lists that they don't also quality for the human/orc lists as well from a rule perspective. It is just that it is written very generically.
I think that is a pretty good interpretation and example that you listed though. :)
It would be great if there were a trait that worked like "adopted", but let you use the favored class bonus list as well. It seems like a fluff shortfall for the two "half" races.
Aha, found a developer response to the exact question. It appears that for FCB purposes half-elves quality for all 3 lists and half-orcs quality for half-orc and human FCBs (but not orcs - weird).
Favored Class Bonus for Half-Elves and Half-Orcs
For the purpose of qualifying for favored class bonuses, half-elves are also treated as both elves and humans, and half-orcs are also treated as humans (but not orcs)—a byproduct of their respective elf blood and orc blood racial traits. Only characters that have the elf blood or orc blood racial trait count as a member of another race for this purpose.
They make things way too complicated for their own good ... but at least in this case it seems logical instead of "rules-y" (except no orc FCB for half-orc).
I will be travelling for Thanksgiving and may not be able to post until Sunday. Please bot me if needed. Thanks.
Have a great Thanksgiving weekend everyone!
Same to you guys!
Klevum, stand by and I'll bring you in shortly.
Red 6 standing by.
I hope that big red X on Einar just mean he is temporarily out, not permanently...
Gobble gobble!!
I'll post tomorrow. I have Rebuke Death to give Einar some hp before regular healing.
I'm out of CLW spells and can only channel 3 more times.
I will be in Disney for the next week, but at our posting rate I should be able to make contributions every so often. If I am the hold up for any reason, please shoot an acid arrow ... or whatever the situation calls for.
We may want to rest sometime soon if we can.
can we take the ogre back to the entrance and rest there?
Any updates?

With the onset of the Christmas season, my life just became undeniably hectic (or rather, moreso). Until January, almost every day on my schedule is filled. While I will try to check in at least once a day, my posting rate during this time is not guaranteed to be regular.
If you are in a game I am running, please be patient and I will try to keep somewhat regular.
If I am in your game, I will try to check in daily when possible. If I am slowing things up, please bot me as necessary.
cool, thanks for the heads up WhtKnt, January is not that far off.
Should we break until January? Or just post slow, I am good with either
I'd say to just post slow. Easier to pick up pace than start back up.
I'd rather slow posting than no posting
have a good time at the convention!
FYI I am on my Christmas vacation so unlike at work I have less chances to check game. Will try to maintain at least 1/day but wanted to let you know. Bot me if needed.
Merrie Christmas! With kids I will be out for a few days :)
yes, Happy Christmas to all!
