It is either 1 or the other. So she can either roll Strength or Constitution, but doesn't have to roll both.
On a different note ... I am a little worried about what I am going to get Arirai to do for his "performance". I will probably just get his to fetch this and that, roll over, sit, etc. I have no perform ranks, so he knows no performs ... also he is not the performing type, more the quite brooder (shows Enya and my personalities quite well). So even getting him to do this tricks will make him feel silly, but I am sure he will understand it is for survival.
Y.B.D : If we had scrolls on us, would they be taken from us at the beginning too? Just wondered if I could retcon a bit and say that I bought a scroll or 2 at the beginning. Just to expand my spell base, also I could learn one of these spells in front of Grok and that could be Arirai's trick. I understand if you say no.
@Tao: River's correct about the job stuff: "/" means "or".
@River: If you had scrolls on you, they'd be taken at the beginning of the AP. Still, getting your gear back is supposed to be one of the party's initial goals. Funny that most of you aren't particularly gear-dependant. :-)
Ah, that's okay then. Had a look through and there aren't that many spells that I think I need after the ones I already have. Not at level 1 anyway.
All I had was some furs (which I have kept as that's my clothing) a knife and a short spear. The knife was only to eat with and cut things, while the spear was my last resort at protecting myself. If I am in dire need of a weapon, I can just call for someones aid or pick up a harpoon or something.
If you're in dire need of a weapon then Cuddles has done something wrong. :)
Haha. I am damn useless w/o my gear. I am glad everyone else is pulling my weight for me. ;)
Well, off to bed. I'll hop back on in a few hours to see if game play has progressed and I need to post. Night everyone. BTW, what time zone is everyone in? I have a feeling that I am on an exact opposite schedule as everyone else. (sort of since I am up until nearly 4am most mornings.)
Cuddles, you are a weapon by yourself! :P
Tao, I am GMT : 0.
I am usually checking here about 2 am, before going to bed ... which is about now. Night all.
I know that YBD, Enya, and I are all EST.
I'm GMT-5, EST as well.
Ahh. Alrighty. Its not that bad. I'm GMT+3. But hopefully not for too much longer. I should be returning to Phoenix,AZ soon. <Crosses Fingers>
Not sure about Alain, but it looks like all of you are in the USA. That's the start of a another bad joke Tao.
This Englishman walks into an American game ...
:D
Well Paizo is American, so it makes sense most of the people on here are from the USA.
It is a shock sometimes when I wake up and get the games and they don't get any posts during the day, but during the night there's a plethora of them.
:D Well, I am currently right outside saudi arabia. Unfortunately gaming isn't as openly welcome out here as it is in most other places.
I'm from British Colombia, Canada.
I've always wanted to visit BC. It seems like a gorgeous place. Lots of green from the pictures I have seen.
On the coast especially. Lots of rain = lots of green.
Hooray for the familiar reunion! :-) I'll put up the next campaign update in a few hours. Bloody Hour/Rum Ration/Nighttime Activities. ;-)
Tao : Loving that last post of yours.
Y.B.D : Thank-you for getting us back together again, but now I am concerned about Arirai's safety, hence the request at the end of my last post to Grok.
Thanks River. I itch to post and being unconscious, I figured that was as close to doing something as I could get. ^_^
Were you still unconscious after all the channels and my spell?
According to my calculations, you should be on 5 HP now.
Mechanically, yes, I should be conscious. For in game purposes though, I think I am supposed to be out for the night. Storywise, I am chalking it up to mental stress being so great, he needs to sleep it off. He may be physically fixed, but the act of being whipped to near death (5 hp from death is damn close IMO) can be pretty jarring to one's psyche I think. :D
Did you update the crews attitudes on the campaign tab? I attempted to chat up Rosie yesterday. Today she's unfriendly but I can't remember what she started off as.
It should be good now. I updated Rosie and Conchobhar.
tks
Y.B.D : We had everything taken from us at the beginning, apart from our clothes, right? Does that include money? If so, how would she expect us to buy anything from her store if our money has been taken and we haven't been given money for our work yet ... if we do at all?
I think that is the point. We'd have to sweet talk her into giving stuff to us. OR we can find a way to make some coin gambling or something. Cuddles could arm wrestle for some cash maybe.
I can't do a lot then, apart from translate for people.
:D Don't think of it in terms of stats and such. Jus play the char how you would. I do all of these influence checks with a -1 on my rolls because, that is what my char would do. The mechanics are one thing but let your char take on a life of its own. Don't even pay attention to your stats. use them as guidelines rather than rigid mold that you have to follow. During combat my char tried to throw a bucket. Jus have fun with it. If you fail horribly, oh well. It's part of the fun of it in my opinion.
That is me in character :P River is very reserved. She will help her friends out a lot, but she is an explorer of ancient ruins. She can speak, read and write a lot of languages and knows a bit of stuff ... other than that she isn't very social.
I will have fun tomorrow evening, going to try and influence the Dwarf (Scourges old friend), hoping that speaking in his own tongue will give me some benefits. Will be fun to play that one out.
I suppose I could get people to pay me protection money. Protection from Cuddles hug's as well as for me NOT to curse them :P
:D Sweet. Undine speaking dwarf. I wonder if it will sound like drowning rocks. ^_^
Nice, I like that idea.
Give me money or you will feel the lovin. The Cuddles Lovin!
My thoughts exactly. As I described in game she usually speaking in a soothing tone and manner (a nice stream) when she is cursing people she speaks in an enraged manner (a storm). So maybe when she is speaking Dwarven she would sound like a swishing sounds (like in a fish take when you stir up the stones at the bottom)? :P
To be honest I can see one of the others doing the whole Cuddles thing more than River, but it is an interesting idea. I just wonder if anyone will take it up?
I jus got the image in my head of a babbling brook.
On the Cuddles idea, you can bring it up to the group and our first target should be one of the guys that was dropped unconscious by her first hug. River could convince Cuddles to intimidate the guy to improve his "outlook" on us and make a little cash too.
That works too, probably better. The fish tank would have sounded VERY strange :P
We shall see how things turn out. Another way I could make money is take note of inventory, etc. Anything where they need something written down, like a written agreement between 2 shipmates. Like, if you don't pay us 5 Gold a week, Cuddles here will be allowed to hug you for 5 minutes :)
Wow, things are taking an interesting turn.... I'd been going to let you keep your money, but I like this idea better. ;-) Way to get creative! And, yes, there are games you can play with the crew - including arm-wrestling. With a twist!
Twisted arm wrestling. I don't like the sound of that.
GREAT ... I was hoping to keep the money, unless they strip searched me.
Well I won't be getting nay money through arm wrestling.
The International Bank of Cuddles is always open... As soon as I have capital. :)
I can feel the love. And it hurts. Like bone breaking hurts. Like if this is love, I jus wanna hate the world.
So ... just waiting on the daily routines to be given out?
I think so, ya
I think if you are a cleric, you are automatically considered a priest, isn't that correct? Also, as far as money making strategies, it's a shame I don't have the build of my friend's Cleric of Calistria...+17 to Profession: Courtesan at 1st level. Of course, then Al would be nothing like Al.
Y.B.D : I have been thinking on this a while, but can I switch my deity from Irori to the watery depths? It means that I won't have a deity but instead offer prayers to the sea, etc. I only took Irori originally for the Faith Trait, which I no longer have and it makes no sense for River to follow Irori.
You can always try following Gozreh.
While Gozreh works, River's Patron is Water, so I see her more praying to the sea itself instead of some deity that governs over the sea. If that makes sense?
While the vast majority of clerics revere a specific deity, a small number dedicate themselves to a divine concept worthy of devotion—such as battle, death, justice, or knowledge—free of a deific abstraction. (Work with your GM if you prefer this path to selecting a specific deity.)
I don't see why you couldn't dedicate yourself to the sea. Up to the GM of course.
@Aldous: There's a difference between being a cleric and a priest, imho. Anyone can be a Cleric of Besmara, but only a select chosen few can summon Entropic Reefclaws, for example. In Enya's case, I'm going to make it an dramatic role-playing moment at an as-yet-unannounced point in time (most likely in a level or two). If you (or anyone else) wants to go a similar route, I'll work out something equally epic. :-)
@River: Well, since Witchs' patrons are unnamed, I get to figure out something fun for you. :-) If you want, I'll browse through the minor deities and find something that's water-themed (maybe one of the Merfolk gods). Of course, if you're not interested in becoming a priest of somebody/something, worshiping the sea itself is perfectly fine. :-) Really up to you. I have no problem with worshiping a named deity, an ideal, or nature itself.
