Game Master Jaster Kite

Huh? No idea where that question came from Opal, or who it's directed at.

Talking to me, I believe. Opal had already rolled Sense Motive against my Bluff check before I made it, and so I already knew she didn't succeed. And if she wasn't going to succeed then I doubted anyone else would.

Ah, missed that.

You'd be correct. I mean, I could roll again, since the first roll didn't really oppose anything like it should. Pretty good odds between us for a little game of "B$@*$%+&: Sci-fi edition."

Finally decided on Aklo as the other language Neve would know. Sufficiently creepy for her to just know it and not have learned it.

No need to get ultra-specific with the alchemy shop. Ellion has the basics, but he mainly wants to see how packaging is done now, what the local customs are, etc.

Also who has the tablet? Ludvic would have suggested he carry it since he was going to look for a translation for it.

My assumption was Ludvic possesses it.

Also Ludvic, there is a wizard discovery to do the exact research sharing you're talking about; you would be able to learn spells from an alchemist's formulae book. I'll likely have quite a few things on the utility side for you, if you're interested; my book isn't fully-fleshed yet.

Great idea. I actually forgot about that one. My book is always open to you as well. I can post my spellbook if you would like.

Last I knew, it was still inside Tik'Klik. Nobody asked him for it, and he put it back inside.

Ludvic would have asked for it if the rest of the group had gone to do some personal business. Is that ok? If not we can assume Tik still has it inside him.

Fine with me. Although if they are separated, Tik'Klik can't notice the appraiser lying about what it says. :)

No worries, that's why Ludvic said he would ask everyone to meet up for it's appraisal.

I hope you don't mind but until proven otherwise this is playing on loop as far as I'm concerned. also I'd like to play around with this a bit.

Oh this should be fun.

I'm waiting for the trope appropriate sketchy guy to hit on one of us. Who wants to take bets on who gets it first?

Ah, a genre-savvy troper, eh?
I think Tik'Klik was going to get hit on, first.
Okay, so I'm feeling very dyslexic right now, and I can use some help before my next post. Who's in what group?

Ludvic and Ellion are busy being nerds together, and the rest of us are out partying.

Edit: Qeetan is on his own it seems.

They're the Tony and Bruce of the group, so-to-speak. Where is our Occultist?

He left the party group and is now walking on his own.

He walks a lonely road. The only road that he has ever known. Don't know where it goes, but it's home to him and he walks alone.

I have a quick question to. I took the Technologist feat, but am wondering if I need it to do work on technology. I was wondering if it was needed with how wide spread tech seems to be.

I didn't take it. Assumed it was a given that characters would be comfortable with technology.

It is sort of a given. You don't need it as long as you have the appropriate skill ranks. You may replace it if you want.

Oke Dokie. Thank you, gonna go with undead master instead.

I'm startin' to think rays aren't the way to go for Ludvic.

The dice just hate me so very very much!

Have you considered doing stretches? Get that Dex score up, yo. Work that body.

It's kinda what I wanted for him. Lanky unhealthy intellectual. By now though it seems like he should be tripping over his own feet.

When I DMed a couple of my games, I usually uses the opponents AC to determine how the PC missed... ex:

A BBG has an AC of 20 (+4 armor, +2 Dex, +2 Shield, +2 Natural)... thus an attack of less than 12 means the BBG evaded (10+2Dex)... 12-13 he blocked with the shield... 14-17 the armor stopped the blow... 18-19 his thick hide stopped the attack...

But a -2 attack roll? You hit your own penis...

Hit your penis with a Ray of Enfeeblement? Those are some serious harshmellows your roasting that poor PC.

Hmm, I could go two ways here with that -2, a generic miss, or a cruel twist. Taking a page from Two-Face, I'll let fate decide.
1. Out of Luck
2. Just a Miss
Fate: 1d2 ⇒ 1

Well, I know now what I must do.

Hit your penis with a Ray of Enfeeblement?

It's the cure when Bear's "Endurance" lasts 4+ hours. Trust me - I'm a doctor.

Either this is 1st level combat or the men of the crew are going to need an armed escort at all times.

That, or 'Enlarge Person.'

Jeez even when a twist of fate happens I can't hit. I think I'm gonna stick with magic missiles now.

I'm having a hard time understanding what Ellion's build wants to accomplish; Mind Chemist is a great archetype for a bomber, but you took Vivisectionist which replaces bombs with sneak attack, which is great if you're going to chug mutagen and be a melee monster, but you got rid of your Mutagen with Mind Chemist.

I'm debating whether or not I should try firing my gun to try and scare them off early. Opal catches on pretty quick to "bad ideas", but she's not very familiar with how cities react to fired ordinance. And I want to drop kick a guy.

It's going to be hilarious when we show up and immediately splatter the would-be assassin. All of the group damage dealers were at the pub.

Action economy's a b~#!$.

Then again, if this guy has a brain, he'll probably just bail when four people and Tik'Klik show up to help.

Gotta say, this is amusing to watch. I can almost imagine this as sort of a one-sided slap-fight. Great start to the campaign XD

Alright, story time, what is the most intriguing/odd/hilarious situation any of your characters ever found themselves in?

Can we post stories of our players when we were the GM? Cause I've got a couple.

Go ahead, I'm all ears. I'll even throw in the hidden history behind who Jaster Kite is after a bit. It's a doozy.

I had a player who made the worst characters ever, and played them horribly.

In a champions game :

He created a pirate themed vigillante who was so annoying, that another player 'failed' his perception roll to notice that the guy was unconscious next to the particle accelerator that was about to explode, and the character died.

He created a replacement character that was so unremarkable I can't remember what it was. I only know that when a mutant mutt moved into their base, he decided to pee on the floors to mark his territory to try to get the dog to behave. The dog took it as a territory challenge and attacked him. Nobody came to his rescue.

In a D&D game :

He created an archer ranger, then insisted on going into melee combat in every fight. He also insisted on being the scout, going off by himself. He had mediocre stealth at best. He ended up dead in an Orc encampment as bait.

I ran a homebrew adventure where the party was in the Lands of the Linnorm Kings, and after some events, ended up on a hijacked boat. While they were deciding on how to get out of their rooms belo wdeck without being spotted, one of them told me "I'm going to try a climb check." He wanted to try climbing the outside of the ship to get above deck. I asked him how he planned on getting any grip going, then he said "I'll PUNCH my way up. I have spiked gauntlets." So, I gave him a DC of 25. He made it, so he started crawling the outer surface of the warship.

Here's the part that gets weird. He had himself Frost-Forged Steel gauntlets. What those do is that the first thing you strike with them takes some cold damage in addition to the normal stuff. I asked him to make an attack roll on the ship.

Natural 20.

So, being the GM that I am, I decided to have this come back up later.

"As you're all fighting on the main deck, you happen to notice the ice creeping up on deck. It will consume the entire ship."

That's how someone set a ship on ice. This was the first game I had ever run so it took a few liberal interpretations in the rules while I was learning the ropes.

So this is a long one. I played a tiefling vivisectionist I'm a home brewed game. 6 sigils all tied to a element that we had to activate to save the world, regular adventure thing. He anthropomorized a cow to be his nurse as he set up a underground doctor office in the town. He gets charmed by a evil succubus,kills his cow, then goes to attack the party. After getting uncharmed his Cha drops to a 1. His tumor scorpion runs during the fight to grab a cha headband to help fix him. Town gets raided by the paladins who's leader is the big bad guy. One of the paladins higher up caught on and got me to join him in his room. Gave Zorin the run down on the big bad before saying his oaths were in vain. Asked Zorin to kill him for penance, which my CN character did with out hesitation. He takes the guys head and flies off back to the party. Fast forward to them reaching the desert continent. They stop at a temple of Calastria to rest where they meet the paladins adopted assamar daughter. She walks up to Zorin and goes" never did it with a demon spawn" Zorin shrugs before agreeing to meeting in her bed chamber. Before he heads in he hands the severed head he was keeping in a sack over to a party member saying only " dig a hole and put the bag in their. Don't open it" and that was how Zorin found his wife/experiment to see what pops out between the two races.

Gotta say, this is amusing to watch. I can almost imagine this as sort of a one-sided slap-fight. Great start to the campaign XD

Alright, story time, what is the most intriguing/odd/hilarious situation any of your characters ever found themselves in?

In a campaign I ran some time ago, there was a party which found themselves atop a mountain attempting to stop the villain from bringing about a catastrophe. The final step involved the ritual sacrifice of a unicorn. Because the mountain turned-out to be the skull of a giant wyrm the size of an island and the creature was resurrected & capable of flight, the party found themselves in a final battle scenario on a flying platform.

The king of the land, who had tasked them with stopping the villain, had lent them a gem with the ability to recall the party a la teleport to the throne room, activated by a trigger word. At the moment of the party's impending success, they were huddled together in an attempt to remain balanced on the turbulent dragonhead. The healer was currently checking the freshly-slaughtered unicorn's body for a pulse, when the absent-minded wizard reminded the party they needn't fear, for they could simply speak the word and avoid death from falling to their doom.

Unforunately, the wizard actually spoke the word, thus returning the party - and a dead unicorn with the cleric's hand in the gory cavity - to the throne room.

"What did you do!?!"

Though mostly successful in their mission, the king was a hasty and paranoid man, immediately taking the scene to mean the party was on the side of the villain, responsible for the ritual's completion. In the end, though technically successful with most parts of their mission, the party fled from the land and one was slain on the spot - the others barely escaped the mass of guards who'd been tasked with their deaths.

This isn't something that happened to my character per se, but... I was playing my PFS Kineticist, she was about 3rd level by then I believe. The module we were playing ended with a sorceress boss, and as low-level modules tend to do, she immediately used color spray and insta-KO'd the entire party except for my Kineticist. Weighing my options (including the fact that if this character died I would be unable to play the class again until the book officially released), I decided to turn tail and run.

As the sorceress and her human cohort chased after me, the lemure she had summoned whapped at the unconscious fighter for five rounds... utterly failing to penetrate his armor (the GM ruled the mindless monster isn't smart enough to do a CDG). He eventually got up from the color spray, killed the lemure, and then killed the sorceress when she got back from failing to run me down. Module completed, zero deaths.

My character had a bit of explaining to do, after that.

I am in a game online that just this week had 5 characters attacking one goblin priest, and only my goblin with a sling was hitting. Everyone else (the tank, the caster, the animal companion, and the bard) all missed every single round. The goblin priest did as well, four rounds in a row. The GM finally said 'You guys are gonna win' and called it after the 20th miss. :)
