Oh, I'm glad to hear that.
It makes my pellets that much shreddier.
At a later time, when multiple enemies are caught in the arc multiple blasts per turn, those 2d6 will quickly add up...

Basil NaN |

Just wait until I mount a 'Manticore's Tail'-Siege Engine on Gauntlets back ^_^
(That said, since I am 'stuck' with Siege Engineer and Master Siege Engineer for the Level 4/8 Bonus Feats, I want to fire a Siege Engine at some point in the AP, at least once! :) )

Keldor Whisthawk |

We're playing with spaceships! I'm pretty sure we'll find a asteroid cannon or cobbled together gravity catapult launcher! Right?
=)

Basil NaN |

Chainsaw, hu?
I think a Chainsaw-Magus would be more awesome, but you're bladebound, Dirissa and Kell are small, and Keldor has Gauntlet. So I suppose I could cover it with Nanites and melee stuff ^_^
That aside...do you think satellite based orbital mass drivers for kinetic bombardment count as siege weapons? ^_^
*whispers* Because if so, I'm proficient with them...
More seriously though, that would be an awesome fun weapon idea...a target designation laser that you 'paint' a target with, then the round after, the location you marked gets hit with a splash blast similar to an alchemy bomb. Obviously niche utility(compared to full attacking) but fun.

*Kell |

I think the possibly best thing you could do with a chainsaw is use the Hand of The Mage school power on it.

1 person marked this as a favorite. |

Hm. Personally, I want a enlarged Heritor Knight with an Impact Chainsaw - performing a Deadly Stroke with Greater Vital Strike.
Might be because I currently built one for a recruitment using Unchained Action Economy...(which effectively gives you 3 standard actions per turn...so move in => Cornugon Smash(+Vital Strike) => Deadly Stroke(+Vital Strike) is a thing...)
Space Marine(Iomedae Chapter) - Chainsword Damage: 24d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 2, 1, 4, 6, 4, 5, 4, 1, 1, 2, 4, 6, 5, 2, 3, 1, 3, 1, 1, 6, 2, 4) = 76*2 = 152 Damage purely from weapon dice with no extras(and the average would be 84 - for 168 Damage).

Basil NaN |

I should clarify that I am not building that Heritor Knight with a Chainsaw, only a regular longsword - but one may dream. :)
And the Deadly Stroke cheese using Unchained Action Economy is necessary because it's non-mythical Wrath of the Righteous on a 15 Point Buy - but takes until at least Level 11 to come online, so I hope we make it that far...but should help in the latter portions when you need to counter-rocket-tag stuff.

Posting this to all my games, so sorry if you see it multiple times:
This week both my office and I personally are going to be moving. It's been crazy busy and I am not going to be able to post until Monday at the earliest. Please bot me if I am in your game, and if you are in a game I am running, I will get a post up as soon as possible.
Thank you for your patience.

Vrog Skyreaver |

So I am posting from work:
Apologies about not posting sooner, but I have been down internet wise for roughly a week, and will not have internet back up yet for a week or so.
This means that I haven't had internet for the last 4 days (as we had 4 days off at my work for the holiday).
It's been...an experience where I learned that I use the internet more than I thought I did.
With all of that being said, I will try to post from work as I can, but if I am in your game, please bot me as needed.
If I am running your game, please bear with me while I try to post when I can. Hopefully, sooner than better, but I want to be up front about this issue.
again, I apologize about the delay.

Guys, I come with some sad news.
I've decided that given my recent technological setbacks and increase in IRL responsibilities, I'm going to be withdrawing from the Paizo site as a source of PbP posting. I've had a lot fun here, and learned a lot as well, but I can't create time and energy to update as often as I feel would be fair. It's a new semester, one of my last couple, and I don't the work is going to slow down.
Thanks for everything till now, and sorry for having to drop out with little notice. If you can find a GM to take over, that's fine by me, and as always I hope you all have as much fun as I have had on these boards.

Harg |

I am so sorry to hear that! I truly hope you are able to get to a good place with school and everything.
I also totally understand. Take care! And thank you for the chance.
On another note. I might be able to take over this game, if people wanted. I was excited to play though. I have experience GMing here, I have an active Starfinder game and another Pathfinder game going currently. I would rather the game not die.
What are everyone elses' thoughts?

Dirissa Dhib |

All the best Default!
I do NOT want this game to die. I'm fine if Harg wants to take over, though would we need someone to replace him?

Basil NaN |

Sorry to hear that.
Best of luck, Default.
If Harg volunteers to take over, that would be great - with or without GMPC.

Keldor Whisthawk |

Good luck GM Default! You got me through this one further than any others did!
If Harg want to take over I don't mind.
How many does that leave us participating?
Is Harg going to be NPC'd? Or are we finding a replacement?
I'm fine with anything.
=)

Harg |

I think if I drop out there are still 4 players.
Keldor, Basil, Dirissa, and Kell
That is enough for a party.. We can look for one more, especially if you think you are missing a type of character, or just to flesh it out. I am also ok with only 4 players..
DM Default: Would you be willing to transfer to me? I think I can transfer it myself. Just need to email them. That is if everyone is cool with it? Sounds like everyone is. Though Kell has not chimed in yet.
For reference. I try to get at least a 3 posts a week. Usually more. There are totally days I miss because life, but it should move semi along. I also have Roll20 set up and can use it.. I also have a website I use for images and stuff..
Example page I made for my Dead Suns Game. I am not perfect, but I try..
Wow.. guess I am going to take over the game haha..

DM Default |

Not sure how to transfer games. Am willing to, though I think a site admin has to

DM Nex |

Looks like I now own this game.
So I am going to spend some time getting caught up with the AP. I have actually already run the first book in the past. Did my best to not meta while playing.. So I have a head start.
While I get things set up. Set up a new Roll20 game. Anyone have any questions?
Do we want to find a 5th person? Or is the 4 of us fine? We can also wait till the end of the book to bring someone on, at a good point.

Keldor Whisthawk |

I'm OK with 4 players as long as the game balance is maintained. We are a bit combat heavy sort-of, but we have some minor healing abilities too. I think we're only lacking a dedicated rogue type if anything.

DM Nex |

Basil NaN |

Well, I already have the Sorcerer VMC...maybe someone wants to pick up VMC Rogue? *shrug*
We are mostly fine. There's also the magic-less healing combo of Healing Hands, Signature Skill and Healers Satchel.
Just takes 2 Feats if we find ourselves in need of more healing.

He'sDeadJim |

Hey guys!
FYI: If anybody is looking to pick up a new game, my GM wants to hear from you.
GM Fez for our Ironfang Invasion game!
We are down to three people and are looking to find a melee special of some kind. Just send him a PM with your Forum name and probably an idea for a character. We are just starting out and are still just 1st level. So NO pressure! =)

Keldor Whisthawk |

No problem! I meant to post as Keldor...sorry about that.
=)

*Kell |

I am posting this to all of my games, so apologies if you see this multiple times:
Unfortunately, I have some bad news.
A combination of work-related stuff has lead to me having to take some time off from the forums. I am, in all honesty, going to need to be gone for several months, as I am going to be travelling for extended periods of time (weeks or more) and I'll likely not have good access to the internet.
As I am not someone who would want to have you all sit and wait for me here, I am going to be withdrawing/closing all of my open forum games.
I want to thank everyone who I have had the pleasure to game with over the last couple of years here, as I have immensely enjoyed my time on the forums, and hopefully, once my work stabilizes, I will be able to rejoin the community.
Thank you again for your time and energy, and I am sorry that I won't be able to keep things moving forward in any of the games that I am running.

Basil NaN |

Sorry to hear that, Vrog.
@Ironfang Invasion: Good luck, Harg. Aside from time restraint, I'll not try and compete because I hope you get the spot ^_^

DM Nex |

Sorry to see you go, at least for now, Kell. I guess its that time of year when games just start having a hard time.
Thanks Basil. We will see.
As for this game. Why don't I open up recruitment for 1 or 2 players. I can bot Harg and Kell for now, but getting some fresh blood to replace them makes sense.
I can get a new Recruitment posted later today.

Basil NaN |

Aye. That or Gestalt *grin*
Dirissa as Barbarian/Oracle, Basil as Gunslinger/Investigator(Empiricist), Keldor as Summoner/Brawler|Unchained Rogue|something.
Na, recruitment is fine, but it seems we've run through a lot of characters already. Maybe it would help if you bot them for now, so we can get 'steady', then run a re-recruitment from there?

DM Nex |

Honestly.. Gestalt scares me.. haha Even you Variant Multiclass freaks me out a bit. :)
I think I am going to open recruitment for this week. Looking for 2 people.. And we will just find a good place to fit them in. GMing is tough enough, don't really want to bot too many things at once.
We will see who we end up with.

Keldor Whisthawk |

We can always do what my GM Fez is doing. Check with people we know to see if they want to apply directly to you by PM?

DM Nex |

I posted a message on my other games discussion threads. I have some really good players who might be interested.
I already posted the recruitment thread. I will make sure we discuss as a group who we want in. Want to make sure we are all good together.
Hopefully some of my other players will submit, I have some pretty good players. One of my players is Neil Spicer in my Starfinder Dead Suns game.. Don't think he will submit though, since he write this book of Iron Gods.
If any of you know good players who would want in, please ask them to submit. They would totally get a leg up on the final decision, if you can vouch for them.
We will see. I wont make any big decisions without some chatting among us. Sorry I already got ahead of myself and posted a recruitment thread.
I think I am really just procrastinating working..

Dirissa Dhib |

I've actually got a few folks who might be interested. I'll send them a PM

DM Nex |

What are your yall's thoughts on replacement PCs. Here is the current list (they have another day to post)
Peri-Blooded Aasimar (emberkin) alchemist (chirurgeon) - @Scottg0
Android telekineticist - Something Wicked
Elf wizard (arcane bomber) - Vraptor451
Human Paladin (Erastil) - Garen Williamson - Ironperenti
Human Wizard - Rene Grerkont - MrStr4ng3
Human Wizard/Cleric - Thawm Uhturj - Scegf0f
Elf Inquisitor of Brigh - Varillien
Human Tattooed Sorcerer - Ladim Relos
My 2 cents are we need a melee.. The only one on here that fits that is the Paladin.. Other than that someone who could do some form of healing..
The Inquisitor or the Wizard/Cleric would work there. I know Thawm wants to go Mystic Therge..
I can vouch for Scegf0f. He is a player in another one of my games, and is good at RP and keeping things organized.
Dirissa - you plan on staying mostly Barbarian, right? So we will still have Gauntlet and you for being up in people's faces. So maybe we don't need another.
Anyway.. what are your thoughts.

Dirissa Dhib |

Dirissa's gonna be mostly oracle, transitioning into rage prophet, so it has a bit of both barbarian and oracle. She can easily be up in people's faces... or crotches if they're tall.
A paladin would be nice. Ironperenti is running a game I'm in and seems pretty solid. I think the inquisitor sounds very flavorful as well. Do we need someone to cover traps? Is that an issue in this AP?

Keldor Whisthawk |

Keldor is really a melee specialist(Technically), but I do have my Summoner's magic to back that up a little.
I planned on getting some disable device and craft skills later...I was/am considering the Technologist Prestige Class later...if it works out that way with role-playing. Otherwise I was going to stick with Summoner all the way.
We tend to all be a little of some things, but master of none really.
I think any of those who applied would work, but I have to say the Inquisitor of Brigh sounds fun!

DM Nex |

Traps are totally something that is going to be dealt with.
I also really love the inquisitor idea. I think that would fit super well with the game. As for the last character.. We have methods of healing, even if Dirissa has a scroll or wand or something. So maybe one of the casters..
I am kinda partial to the idea of the Arcane Bomber or the Tattooed Sorc.. Having a fully Int based character would be nice spread. Keldor you are not stupid, but are not pushing the INT to max. So my gut wants to go with the elf arcane bomber..
Baring any new submissions, everyone ok with the Inquisitor and Arcane Bomber?
