Only lasts for two mins at this level. Has to be used in increments of 1 minute. If you tell him, he will float someone else up instead of himself though. He might not like it
Hope the wall isnt any taller than 200ft though. Or ima have to only lift one.
That would be ridiculously tall.
true that's 61 metres. Way taller than i was thinking. I think in metres so it confused me.
I mean the Wall is only 700 ft high, and that is the king of all lesser walls. :-)
If I had to guess, I would say these walls will be between 20-40 ft high.
Where's Team 2 at?
We should be chatting too!
I was guessing 100ft
MOAR gameplay posts poeple!
I'm too mean to talk.
I can understand team two waiting to see Geoff's reaction.

That too. When you have someone who'd slice you down with the flick of his wrist attempting to have a conversation with you ... you have the conversation.
But there's not much conversing with only one side talking.
At the gym now. I'll get a post up when I climb onto the elliptical. Was there anything about Geoffrey's response that hinted on if he expects us to engage this guy or not?
It's a paladin and an antipaladin in the same room. If Geoffrey's sword arm wasn't crippled he would probably already have charged.
Was Gabriel able to help much with his healing? XD I can't tell how wounded anyone was so I just tried to leave that particular description a little vague. Also, he'll be one of the first people up the later.
Do you guys think my strategy of fighting defensively is a good idea? My thought is that a 20 is pretty difficult for lower level people to hit.
probably the best idea till you get reinforcements.
Keeps their focus on a dwarf with DR and an AC of 20 they can't touch rather then on everyone climbing up the ladder. Absolutely a good idea. XD
It was a brilliant idea. The only people hitting you are because they're threatening crits.
I edited the most recent post Gabriel. All that healing gone will hurt you, but you've earned quite a bit of respect from the men.
I expected it to hurt a little, but it means we've got four people that much less likely to drop, and four more guys is worth it honestly. Not to mention, after discovering he could heal people, it was pretty hard to think of a reason Gabriel wouldn't. XD
Be inspired my nameless and classless comrades!
We are going to draw a lot of heat to this location, but once we have it secured we can find those siege weapons, and more re-enforcements will keep coming up that ladder.
I say if we find any of the siege weapons, we see if any of the soldiers can use it to turn it on other locations on the wall, then protect it. If not, we'll probably just be going from one to the next breaking them in some way, shape or form.
Ha. Nameless they may be, but I think we are doing great things for their morale. Between Toramin's bravery and Gabriel's mercy, people will be talking about us in camp tonight. If we survive . . .
I agree. With a +7 to Knowledge (Engineering), Toramin should be able to turn them to our use. Aim for a gate, and call it dwarven lock-picking.
If we had been told to batter down a gate, I would have been using my Stonestrike ability in conjunction with the battering ram. Which, would have been cool, I think.
You know what would be nice? Figuring out how to get Fast Healing. ;-)
You already have lay on hands!
Stop being greedy!
Doesn't greed come standard in dwarves? :-p
There's a wizards spell at level 1 that can give fast healing 1, but makes you detect as evil. I honestly consider lay on hands better though. Its a swift action for yourself that doesn't set off AoO's, and it can heal a lot more then fast healing. Its limited in number but -shrug- Most fast healing options you can get as a player are, even the barbarians.
My judgement give me fast healing if i wish :)
Lay on Hands is, by far, the best melee-survivability class features in the game.
Yeah, Judgement is pretty cool. Especially when you get more than one. I'm surprised you are using the damage one instead of the hit one.
Is it better than Leaf on the Wind the dervish ability? 1 HP per bard level per round seems pretty hot.
I post and suddenly Omen disappears. =(
/thread-killer
Lay on Hands makes that look like a joke.
14 HP or 7d6?
When you put it like that, it will probably be around double what the bard ability gets you in a round.
By level 4 Gabriel will have 7 lay on hands a day, and each will heal 2d6+1. That's a minimum of 3 hp a round and a make of 13.
Extra LoH seems like a better investment than Toughness, yes?
Precisely. That's an average of eight per round. By comparison a barbarian rages for the same number once. A paladin can do that a number of times per encounter.
Extra LoH seems like a better investment than Toughness, yes?
Yes. Barring a one shot, extra lay on hands is far better
That actually depends honestly. Toughness does mean that you have that much more to heal, especially at early levels. Mechanically speaking each Lay on hands is worth more on average, so two extra lay on hands certainly helps, but at the same time you can only heal so much when your health is only so high too. There's something to be said for a good balance between the two.
At least in my opinion. XD
You should also consider the fact that we're a party of secondary and tertiary casters. More healing power would be worth even more. That said, you should take what you want.
Omens a good DM. I'm sure he'll make whatever you build work.
My feat plan is either going to be based on technological crafting if that sort of thing is possible, or going up the dwarven cleave tree.
^ What he said. We may not have any one main healer, but you were right about something you said earlier. As a tank, and a very good one, every point you can heal yourself is one all of us secondary healers don't have to worry about.
Although we do have one primary spellcaster Bjorkus, just not of the divine kind. XD And it looks like he just punched something in the gut.
Dwarven cleave tree? o.0?
Yeah.
Goblin Cleaver (Combat)
You are ferocious at hewing smaller opponents.
Prerequisites: Str 13, Cleave, Power Attack, dwarf.
Benefit: When using Cleave or Great Cleave, if your initial attack hits, you may take your additional attacks against any creature smaller than you that you threaten; your targets need not be adjacent to one another. Additional attacks you make against humanoids (goblinoid) gain a +2 circumstance bonus on attack rolls.
Imagine a permanently enlarged dwarf cleaving his medium and smaller enemies. ;-)
dang. that's awesome
Not to mention even if you can't get permanent enlargement, it appears that Orc Hewer grants the ability against his size and smaller.
Although that would be really impressive on a large dwarf... also a magnet for oxymoron's. XD
That feat is pretty cool.
If Omen allows it, I imagine we are all going to be permanently enlarged at some point.
Bjorkus's character might be a cow, but he's not; he's correct to say LoH is one of the best melee survivability abilities. I don't get the liberty of using it much because I hate the lack of freedom the LG restriction provides.
Tech-y crafting is possible as Omen already stated we were at that level of progress in the world. It's just a matter of having the right workbench and know-how! Perhaps some hex-techy stuff.
If you're worried about feat synergy with party comp (though I wouldn't be), you should know Dalton's all about support magic. He can't heal (at least not most of the time), but his spells will be solidly focused on the buffing/debuffing realm. Once the party gets closer RP-wise, he'll be like a waiter, bringing course after course of arcane goodness. So while buffing is good, the presence of paladins and a caster devoted to it means you've got plenty of freedom to do whatever you like.
Looks like you want to specialize in hacking "little" green people. Go for it. I know a certain greenskin who could use a shave!
