Discussion is fixed and working fine. I asked them to delete the 2nd and 3rd posts. No big deal. The posts were hidden due to a bug in their system. You can replicate it by deleting the first post to a thread.


I meant gameplay is fixed. They deleted the posts. Let's do this.


We are waiting on Reinar. Reinar!


We wait no longer. He posted to Fortress, maybe we are not on his radar yet. IDK.


Male Human Unchained Barbarian (Invulnerable Rager) 2 | hp 26/28 | AC 17, T 12, FF 15 | F +5, R +2, W +3 | Init +2 | Per +7 | DR 1/- | Rage Turns: 3/8

Apologies, i was checking every day but somehow didn't notice the game had started.


Nice roll Zevon. No DC on this one. But I'll say she is very attracted to you.

I take 'em where I can get 'em.
Concerning Knowledge rolls, I will probably just toss one out whenever I am fishing for information. I will leave it up to you on how to get it to me (if I roll well enough to get any).

Also, I now can't imagine Reinar any way but Animal Mother from Full Metal Jacket!


If the module has a DC, that is what is will be. You are correct to throw it out there. There is not one on dealing with this crowd.


I was so looking forward to hanging Animal Mother. Oh well. There are still many ways to die.

Not that it will make a difference on any of those rolls but I get an additional +1 on Knowledge checks for bardic Knowledge for a total +4 modifier (+1 INT, +2 untrained reflexive improvisation, =1/2 bard level min 1 bardic knowledge). I will update my sheet for easy reference.


Thank you! I missed the +2 reflexive.


Sorry about that Rhen. I had that planned out for any and all small PCs long before we got started. You just happened to fit the bill. I do like the visual of a proud dwarf and Anastasia, however.


@Bulgard
Might want to rethink that jog.

Hustle: A character can hustle for 1 hour without a problem. Hustling for a second hour in between sleep cycles deals 1 point of nonlethal damage, and each additional hour deals twice the damage taken during the previous hour of hustling. A character who takes any nonlethal damage from hustling becomes fatigued.

A fatigued character can’t run or charge and takes a penalty of –2 to Strength and Dexterity. Eliminating the nonlethal damage also eliminates the fatigue.

From this page
http://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering/exploration-movement/#TOC-Movement

I should have told you in the spoiler it is 4 hour walk


@ Burlgard FYI
If you’ve already successfully used Stealth at least 10 feet from your target, you can make one ranged attack and then immediately use Stealth again. You take a –20 penalty on your Stealth check to maintain your obscured location.


If rules mumbojumbo does not interest you, no worry, these birds will fly and attack like real birds. You can attack them ranged or hold on them for a melee engagement.

RAW a hawk would move and attack with one talon and remain in melee. Does not make a lot of sense to me. I read an article that I think gives it a much more realistic approach. The entire article is here and is slightly off topic. https://www.reddit.com/r/Pathfinder_RPG/comments/1ih5uc/question_about_flyi ng_attacks/ I have increased the CR from 1/3 each to 1/2 each.

The short of that link is, "If you want to imitate real life, give Hawks (and similar Tiny creatures) an Extraordinary Ability that duplicates the effect of Grace along with Flyby Attack. No more attacks of opportunity, but the familiar is still not invincible! Enemies can ready an action to attack the hawk as soon as it comes into reach (at the expense of doing a normal standard action on the turn that they get ready)....then kill the bird when it's perfectly logical (an enemy who has seen the hawk being a threat in battle AND isn't about to use their turn doing something else which might save their life, like running away or attacking the fighter)."

The Loremaster ran a 5e campaign for us last weekend. This is may be fixed by default in 5e as your movement can be broken up. We were very receptive to all of the changes we encountered. Has anyone else tried 5e yet?


@Rhen
I probably should consider Anastasia fair game if you are mounted during combat. I will not if she is not mounted.


HP 65 l AC 21 [+2 vs Traps] (T 15 FF 16) l F +6 R +12 W +5 (+2 vs Poison/Magic) l Ini +45 Perc +10 (+3 to unusal stone/Traps)

I have not but I am going to test out the Revised action economy soon with my children as play testers


M Half Elf Arcane Healer Sound Striker Bard 3 | hp 30/30 | AC 18, T 13, FF 13 | F +3, R +6, W +2 | Init +5 | Per +5 | Performance Rounds: 9/16

Man, 5e was great. I was an early Pathfinder adopter and still love the system, but I am strongly considering a shift to 5e


HP 65 l AC 21 [+2 vs Traps] (T 15 FF 16) l F +6 R +12 W +5 (+2 vs Poison/Magic) l Ini +45 Perc +10 (+3 to unusal stone/Traps)

Never played it


@ Rhen. If you ever need to move Anastasia and do not see her token, just look down. Under your token. :)


@ Bulgard

Your equipment is not listed on your profile. Must have been lost in a copy paste. Pretty sure you are covered there on the backpack. It would be nice to get it updated.


So much for my flight test. Immediately shot down by enemies. But I know for a fact crows can fly. Still like the modification, though.


M Half Elf Arcane Healer Sound Striker Bard 3 | hp 30/30 | AC 18, T 13, FF 13 | F +3, R +6, W +2 | Init +5 | Per +5 | Performance Rounds: 9/16

Unfortunately Spellcraft is trained only and I don't have Jack of All trades yet. I wouldn't mind trying to activate blindly with UMD if that was an option.

Also, is there a check to locate/harvest the moss?


Bardic Knowledge (Ex)

A bard adds half his class level (minimum 1) to all Knowledge skill checks and may make all Knowledge skill checks untrained.

you may have to resort to UMD if you fail the DC, you can try again in the morning if you fail today.

DC 12 perception to find the moss


M Half Elf Arcane Healer Sound Striker Bard 3 | hp 30/30 | AC 18, T 13, FF 13 | F +3, R +6, W +2 | Init +5 | Per +5 | Performance Rounds: 9/16

Yeah but Spellcraft isn't a knowledge, and bards don't get to use general skills untrained until 10th. I can try Knowledge (Arcana) again, but can't even attempt Spellcraft since I don't have a rank in it.


I knew that at one point. "knowledge". I'll allow another arcana in the morning.


Arcana is a once only check. The party has an obvious weakness on identifying wands. So, I am ruling that this is a simple device, you have seen it before...you just need to recall. Try again the next day. Not RAW, but rule 0.


M Half Elf Arcane Healer Sound Striker Bard 3 | hp 30/30 | AC 18, T 13, FF 13 | F +3, R +6, W +2 | Init +5 | Per +5 | Performance Rounds: 9/16

Will do. I will probably put a rank in there at 2nd


That really makes sense.


@ Raltus
You used a phone app in one of the moff posts. How is/was that?


HP 65 l AC 21 [+2 vs Traps] (T 15 FF 16) l F +6 R +12 W +5 (+2 vs Poison/Magic) l Ini +45 Perc +10 (+3 to unusal stone/Traps)

It is good makes it simple to use the phone, but you cannot really see anything that was posted before so it is hard to follow up with a question if you forget about it.

It is called Wayfinder.


Thanks Rhen, and regarding phones.... I'm an IT consultant and keep up with stuff like this. May be nothing to it other than a bluff, but if I had an iphone, that password gets changed:

Hackers claiming to have compromised at least 300 million Apple account ID’s and passwords say they will initiate a complete wipe of iPhones and iClouds if the Cupertino, California based technology company doesn’t pay them a ransom.

The group, which goes by the name Turkish Crime Family, says Apple has until April 7th to come up with either $75,000 in BitCoin or $100,000 in iTunes gift cards.

Posting directly to their Twitter page, the Turkish Crime Family warns April 7th will be Apple’s digital doomsday:

200 Million iCloud accounts will be factory reset on April 7 2017

— Turkish Crime Family (@turkcrimefamily) March 21, 2017

Hackread.com notes that the hackers’ story is inconsistent and it’s possible that this is nothing more than a baseless shakedown:


HP 65 l AC 21 [+2 vs Traps] (T 15 FF 16) l F +6 R +12 W +5 (+2 vs Poison/Magic) l Ini +45 Perc +10 (+3 to unusal stone/Traps)

that is interesting


And if you have an android google stagefright (one word). Possibly the worst vulnerability ever. I've heard of nothing of it in the wild to date. I refuse to update my phone's OS, but I was able to stop the automatic processing of multimedia mms.


In defense of Reinar, he may be using the campaigns tab to keep up with posts. I noticed that this campaign is not showing in your campaign tabs. I have been emailing support for a week or two about it not being in my campaign tab. I updated them with the new info last night. Hopefully they will eventually get to that for us.


Looks like the apple hack is for real. Change your passwords!

Earlier this week, a hacker group claimed that it had access to 250 million iCloud accounts. The hackers, who called themselves part of Turkish Crime Family group, threatened to reset passwords of all the iCloud accounts and remotely wipe those iPhones. Apple could stop them, they said, if it paid them a ransom by April 7. In a statement, Apple said, "the alleged list of email addresses and passwords appears to have been obtained from previously compromised third-party services," and that it is working with law enforcement officials to identify the hackers. Now, ZDNet reports that it obtained a set of credentials from the hacker group and was able to verify some of the claims. From the article: ZDNet obtained a set of 54 credentials from the hacker group for verification. All the 54 accounts were valid, based on a check using the site's password reset function. These accounts include "icloud.com," dating back to 2011, and legacy "me.com" and "mac.com" domains from as early as 2000. The list of credentials contained just email addresses and plain-text passwords, separated by a colon, which according to Troy Hunt, data breach expert and owner of notification site Have I Been Pwned, makes it likely that the data "could be aggregated from various sources." We started working to contact each person, one by one, to confirm their password. Most of the accounts are no longer registered with iMessage and could not be immediately reached. However, 10 people in total confirmed that their passwords were accurate, and as a result have now been changed.


I kept all of my clients on Windows 7. Google Windows 10 keylogger. LOL


HP 65 l AC 21 [+2 vs Traps] (T 15 FF 16) l F +6 R +12 W +5 (+2 vs Poison/Magic) l Ini +45 Perc +10 (+3 to unusal stone/Traps)

I watched the video of the first link after googling it. I can see the ladies point about but really if you don't ever share you info about how you like the system they may never be able to give you things you would actually use.

Look at Windows XP, If I am thinking of the right now. People HATED it and that was before people wholly shared what they did on windows and such. Windows 8 was a bust as well because they made something in the way things were trending but again were wrong.


Do they actually need to log your every keystroke? Do you trust them with that info? Perhaps I am paranoid. Tis my job.


HP 65 l AC 21 [+2 vs Traps] (T 15 FF 16) l F +6 R +12 W +5 (+2 vs Poison/Magic) l Ini +45 Perc +10 (+3 to unusal stone/Traps)

That is fair, the keystroke no I agree I honestly don't do anything illegal on my PC so I guess I don't care if they are watchign me. Let them I am pretty boring in the end haha


@ Rhen, you are firing into melee


HP 65 l AC 21 [+2 vs Traps] (T 15 FF 16) l F +6 R +12 W +5 (+2 vs Poison/Magic) l Ini +45 Perc +10 (+3 to unusal stone/Traps)

True I just thought since no one was on the same side as me I wouldn't take the negative.


LOL Interesting and allowed this time. :-)


HP 65 l AC 21 [+2 vs Traps] (T 15 FF 16) l F +6 R +12 W +5 (+2 vs Poison/Magic) l Ini +45 Perc +10 (+3 to unusal stone/Traps)

Ok I won't push any limits next time plus I figured I missed rolling a nat 1 anyway.


No worries. Rule 1, have fun!


Interesting enough find to share with you guys.

So, I got a hold of our Sequel, Crown of the Kobold King. Read it enough to get my head around it and then decided to read through any pbps I could locate to see how they handled certain things.

Found four. Two of those pbps died from lack of posts, one was a successful finish and the other was a total party kill. The success was done with a good gm and experienced players. The TPK was obviously inexperienced in all regards. They just rolled up new characters and went to another campaign.

The good GM handled an absolute game changer exactly the way I would. Made all the difference in the world. Glad I saw that in action.

There are two more modules that are follow ups to Crown. We could be together for quite some time if the interest remains. No idea what level the PCs would get to.


What are you waiting on?


Ah, your light source.


I would love to bot Zevon's character, but you are in a decision making moment. Not a good time to bot.
