I'm still here and ready. Sorry guess I should have posted a check in.

So, lyn, I'm gonna trade out those oils of darkness, okay?

Yeah, that's fine.

Jimbli, go ahead and show up in the game thread. We'll say your paperwork got lost. :)

You can be in Unit 3 until there are enough others for a fourth group.

They've been replaced with Muleback cords and a Sky Hook feather token.

I just realized OOC that Tenoch was a Dhampir. I'm not sure how psionic healing and in particular my Life Leech ability Drain Health works with that. Is all healing Positive Energy? Also is this the place to bring up rule stuff or should I PM these questions.

Psionic healing is not positive energy. Psionic healing is mroe the body repairing itself than pulling extra life-force to repair the body. Drain Health should work normally.

Yes, this is the place for rules questions. And kolm is right. Psionic healing isn't positive energy so should be okay for the dhampir.

A little late to the party, but here if you'll have me

Ah, OK, I wasn't sure about how the psychic healing thing worked myself. Apart from Tenoch considering it like any regular healing, I, myself was going by one of those collective powers where the healing of one person can be transferred to the other but the energy stays the same. I definitely do not know much about psionics.

And it looks like Meredian hit the Knowledge (local) for knowing something about the Dhampir. Lucky for me it was the low roll, lol. Negative energy affinity, ahoy.

Welcome to the watch, Graal. :)

Janus here .. just need to post his backstory. Which is on my computer at home.

I should have thought of this earlier, but I was wondering if I could swap around some of my SLA's so they will be A) useful and B) Themantic. For example I'll never use divine favor as it doesnt affect spells. I do need some imput as to what you will allow. The suggestion says same level spells can be swapped, but it never says what list it comes from. All the spells I suggest are of the correct level on one spell list or another. Some of them are a bit of cheese, but I figure it never hurts to ask. Also I'm completely open to suggestion if there is something I havent listed.

As I've already done the same thing with Kal, I doubt she'll have a problem with you doing it as well.

I kept the three iconic Drow SLAs, and swapped out the rest. I think you should keep Dispel Magic, as you can never have enough of that.

For Suggestion, i'd go with DDoor, unless you hve your heart set on something else.

There's gotta be a better 1st level spell for Divine Favor, than those you listed.

Lyn, I need to know the name of a thieves' guild and an assassin's guild if such exist in Chance.

Mer, yes, you can switch for a spell of equal level. I don't see anything on your list that I find game-breaking so switch it around in whatever way makes you feel happy with your character build.

Sweet. Let me think about it and get back to you.

Any thoughts?

Lyn I had forgotten that Dreamscarred is implementing 0th level powers now(instead of the knacks the vitalist had before) I can't seem to find which ones I qualify for in the 6 partial books. I'm sure it will be easy to find in the combined book but until then should I just use my knacks?

They are called talents, if that helps...

It does not, thanks though. I know they were introduced in book 3 but there doesn't seem to be a list for vitalist in there. There is a handy list that shows what talents you get for free by taking 1st level powers though.

Ha I didn't look hard enough. they are in book 6 for some odd reason But they are very similar. I just switched out one of my knacks for a much more useful talent, Detect poison. The other knacks are still talents so they're staying.

Hey all,

DM, I'd like to swap Divine favor for Comprehend languages, Suggestion for Dimension door, and I'll keep Dispel Magic as is.

Sounds good.

So Lyn, how are we doing this?

Should we just go ahead and do our own thing, rolling checks and such as needed, and you'll fill us in, or do you plan to direct us at all?

I've been waiting to see what happens. We're walking down the street as far as I know.

You're on patrol so I'd say start giving me perception checks and I'll let you know how much trouble you find. That's how I'd like to handle it for the folks who are just randomly looking for stuff. For specific missions there will be more direction.

We are missing AKhil is he still playing or he bowed out?

Janus Draugur reporting for duty!!

Then get in there and join your unit, soldier! We got a job to do! Move it, move it!

Yay, someone shorter than me!

Hi lyn, I took Penumbra as a cantrip and just realized it was from the Paizo Blog as a "rare" cantrip left out of UM. There is a second level Protective Penumbra also from UM (except this one was published). The difference is that the cantrip can only be active on one person at a time (the lvl 2 can be cast multiple times without loss of previous castings) and there is a +2 to saves in the lvl 2 version.

Should I drop or keep the cantrip?

I have that cantrip too.

Yeah, but, unfortunatly, it apparently doesn't count as part of the "All cantrips known".

Why? The word "all" seems pretty inclusive.

They way I look at it Cantrips are so simple that even if you don't know it initially you can figure it out, provided it exists at all and is on your list.

Look at the top of the page of the link.

The following spells are different from standard cantrips. They are rare cantrips. Spellcasters that gain access to all 0-level spells at 1st level do not gain access to rare cantrips. A spellcaster gains access to rare cantrips only by uncovering their secrets in some other way. Some are guarded by jealous mages, while others are lost in missing libraries or molder on forgotten scrolls.

Oh. I've never read that.

Of course one could do independant research to figure even these out without access to jealous mages or moldy tombes. Rule of thumb for that is 1K per spell level and at least a week. Money well spent if it's needed.

I see a lot of people making three perception checks at a time. Seems like that would kina defeat the purpose. Is there something im missing?

Keep it. Your backstory involved having some Nexus magic yes? Sounds like the sort of thing they would cook up.

Well, I imagine this one specifically is more well known among races that are harmed by the sun and have a somewhat organized society, such as drow.

Yes, indeed. As long as you can come up with some reason why you know it (learned it off a wizard at the university is one example) then I'm okay with it.

So know we are all muscle and a tiny skill monkey detective XD awesome.

Not sure?

I'm using them as one per block of territory covered at present.

I keep forgetting to finish Iggy... :/

He can just hide between everyone's legs, then lash out as needed at people from surprise!

updated char, linked c.sheet, I suggest you look it over as some fine-tuning happened since we discussed it.

Since I have the urban ranger would each district count as its own community or do I claim the entire city?
