Speaking of excuses, I'm attending a wedding on Saturday, out of state, but even if I don't get home till Sunday, I'll have a post Saturday morning.
Probably not going to get any in at the reception though, between drinking and dancing.
Have fun at the wedding! Thanks for letting us know.
"Traveler's Any Tool? Sounds useful..."
Sorry, Core and APG only.
I know that Ultimate Equipment (and the other Ultimate books) have brought a ton of useful feats, spells, items and magic items to the game. I don't even remember what it was like playing without them anymore. However, I really want to try to keep this game more along the lines of traditional D&D in terms of simplicity - APG and GM chase mechanics aside.* ;-)
You may find non APG / Core items in hordes, but these will mostly be chosen to match the theme of the written adventure. Think of them as old school custom items when/if they come up.
* I see that more like using the bestiary. Contraband for players, fair game for the GM.
"Did you say this mead was jealous? Jealous of what?" Bazsil sniffs at it again, almost wondering what mead would have to be jealous of.
As for my "Chelish" gaff... nicely done, sir. Nicely done.
I will say, though, that my first ever Pathfinder GM kept calling the Chelaxians "Chelish" because it stuck in his craw to say it the proper way. Sounded too much like "Chillax"-ians. It's bound to rub off, right?
That's my bad. I was just looking through the wondrous item list and forgot to check the source book.

Ciaran throws open the doors of the tavern and stomps inside, wind blowing through his long, auburn hair, shirt unlaced a little for the heat of the day. The sun glints off the yellow and black brooches securing his cloak, and sweat glistens on his massive chest...
Brilliant.... Baaahahahahaha! I love it :)

That's funny because I wasn't considering it a gaff. I just assume bars/taverns are loud places and one is apt to mishear things. I almost use Chelish and Chelaxian interchangeably.
Anyhoot, my true sadness was being unable to find a good pun for a jealous wine. I thought it might be green (envy of course), but there is a better pun out there that I haven't gotten to yet. Maybe one of you yahoos can think of it?
And now we have a bar scene!
@Elon: I have no words for how much I've loved your shopping expedition. I was doing some early morning reading in bed, and woke my wife up with a laugh when Tony Wonder appeared. So awesome.
Fun Fact: Tony Wonder is one of my PFS characters!

So cool that Wrigley has managed to spend all but 36cp of his 5,000gp allowance. Much better than exactly on or a bit over. Lord Krinst will be enjoying his read over your receipts!
Approved vendors are for suckers!
In the spirit of collegiality, does anyone have any suggestions for something I should buy beyond the Big Six items?
I'm sure I'll be able to spend my cash eventually, but I thought I'd ask if anyone had any lateral ideas.
(This is one of the subsets from Unchained I really valued, by the way - getting rid of the Big 6).
Handy haversack and arms and armour already sorted, FYI.
Well, I wouldn't bother with the haversack for Ciaran. His carrying capacity should be plenty, and you are already encumbered with the armor,
However, there are still things you could get... Such as a MW Silver Warhammer (if you have to ask why...), and perhaps a MW cold iron Heavy pick. For one, you are thin on weapons, what happens if you are disarmed or sundered? Two, you lack damage types and metal types.
Then , some more stuff.... Potions of enlarge person are always good. Oils of magic weapon and bless weapon. Getting a pearl of power so the caster can recast something to buff you and/or the party (shield of faith, bless) .
Other potions or scrolls for versatility, such as spider climb, dark vision, oils of daylight. Make sure you at least have a potion of CSW as an emergency save you ass!
And where is your dagger? Light source? ROpe, grappling hook, mess kit?
Shopping List:
1000 gp Pearl of Power 1
2000 gp Handy Haversack
1000 gp Cloak de Resistance +1
.400 gp Feather Tree Token
..80 gp Climber's Kit
..10 gp Various Books of Poetry
...5 gp Various Scented Hair Oils
...5 gp Fancy Shaving Kit
..75 gp Ioun Torch
.100 gp Pavilion Tent
.100 gp 2* AntiToxin
.100 gp 2* AntiPlague
.100 gp 5* Alchemist Fire
..25 gp Various Moonshines and Rotguts
-------------
5000 gp
There are not enough likes on Paizo for Wrigley's post.

I'm going to be late in my post today. I got a late assignment to Dreamfarce coupled with really nice Giants tix tonight. In addition, I have to top follow piddlespotting Wrigley's post. Sorry for the delay.
You sure that Wrigley isn't being run by Steve, Chris? You starting to channel Cyrus?
Hee hee
So glad I asked you guys to post about the previous night. Loving these posts. I'll move along to the actual eulogy and beyond tomorrow.
Nice work all!

Oh, this is gold.
It just dawned on me I never finalized my purchases in Herolab or re-allocated how much I spent adding spells to my spellbook.
For expediency sake - I won't change my spells memorized, I will just refresh them. I will work to have it done ASAP, especially since I said I would have it done last weekend... Sorry!
That's fine, mate. All good.
Slow day today everyone? I think we're still doing 1 post/day, but it seems to be clumped up at night. I'm fine if that keeps on being the case. I'll plan accordingly.
I just want to make sure that no-one is feeling the need to wait for others to post before they can. You don't need to take it exactly in turns. I will be sure to let you know if I think you're 'thread blasting'. I've had a lot of experience doing it myself, so I know how to identify it. ;-)
While I was busy earlier in the week, I've been slow playing Baz to match the pace of the group rather than overpost and not give others a chance to post.
As for the current point, I left some hooks in Baz' last post that maybe someone will pick up on or argue against or whatever.
I'm happy to go faster, but not against the current pace.
Makes sense, and thanks for letting me know. I'm not asking people to speed up, I just noticed that there have been quite a few hours between posts during the daylight hours.
Howdy!
So sorry for the absence. In addition to everything else, I just finished up a couple of long workdays for quarter-end.
Things are currently...stable.
Still need to do my shopping. Definitely missing a lot of my go-to alchemical supplies from UE. Only things I know for sure are enchanting the bow to +1 and grabbing a wand of Calm Animals.
Great to have you back Sumaru! Please go ahead and have both of those items for this encounter, we'll worry about the rest of the list later (when you've got some more time).
Anyway, just a big warm "welcome back" from me. Best of luck, as always, with everything else!

Welcome back. :)

Grr...yeah...the human training harness is ARG, let alone the Whet Bone or Quieting Needles. Now I understand the wand of Calm Animals to deal with the animals we'll be facing...like Ciaran.
Welcome Back Sumaru! Hope all is well!! It is good to have the whole crew back together.
Hey all, just thought I'd let you know that for the baddies I'm using Hero Lab. This will hopefully save me time (after the initial investment in transferring them over). As such, I'm not listing out their modifiers (like inspire courage) explicitly. I feel this is actually more in line with old school GMing anyway...
... please let me know if you don't like it (or love it!).
Gado, with his odd mix of fascination and adrenaline, pushes his innate fear to the back of his mind, moving forward with the charge of his summoned creatures. He reaches for his second pearl of power in his pocket and wills the words of the magic missile spell back to his mind as he moves.
Wow. 4 actions in a round? What is the term for this? Is it a 'Gado'?!
Double move is two.
Pulling out a non-weapon, that's another.
And then activating a magic item is another.
1, 2, 3,...4!! 4 actions!! hahahaha!
Missed that. Bazsil is quite right. Move to retrieve, standard to perform the "command" required to recall the spell.
There's no real time limit on the pearl though, so you can do it when we're out of combat (or next round) if you like.
... so, how was everyone's weekend? My in-laws were in Houston (and still are) so it was a bit hit and miss for me. Also, the Texans stank up the field on Sunday. With Carolina double-teaming JJ to keep him out of the action, it became pretty obvious that the Texans are a one-trick-pony kind of team.
Mwuahahahah I am the master of time!
Actually the was referencing the earth elementals, both of whom had to double move to get closer. They get their own actions independant of Gado.
Gado knew it would take a standard action to activate his pearl of power, and also knows he is out of spells, so recalling his magic missile is the only thing left he has to offer, other than perhaps a summon monster I spell. So Gado single moved, then used his standard action to recall his spell.
Technically I took 3 full actions, because I have 3 things to control...
Sorry if that wasn't clear enough on the gameplay thread!!!
All good. Maybe that's why it didn't ring off any alarm bells when I read it on gameplay, only when Bazsil wrote it in. I think someone's competing with Jack for most levels in their "rules lawyer" class. ;-)
Weekend was awesome.
Mom from Florida was up visiting.
Sister from London came to this side of the pond to visit.
We all met at my sister's in Toledo.
Michigan State jumped to #2 in the AP poll and escaped relatively unscathed from the cut-block attack of Air Force
The Lions sucked it up, so I refer back to my Joy of Michigan State jumping to #2 in the polls.
Oh, and my Alma Mater, Western Michigan absolutely crushed Murray State.
And my birthday is in two days.
Life is Good.
Speaking of why Gado is out of spells, he cast Mage Armor on Bazsil before he went down the hole. Bazsil made a deal about asking for it from Gado without asking for it from Gado. So that's why AC is 20.
And as far as the rules lawyering goes, that wasn't rules lawyering...that was teasing. Completely different. I reserve the right to tease and trashtalk and part of that is the occasional rules-tease.
My weekend: lots of football watching, writing, and exercise. First, the Cal Bears had an epic game at Texas on Saturday. They crashed, rose again, were leading by 14, crashed again, then only won when the kicker missed the last second PAT to tie. They won 45-44.
Then I watched (and enjoyed) the 9ers get stomped, then enjoyed the Raiders actually play football for the first time in a long time in Oakland. They won...and they showed promise for the future.
Did you know that 9ers have some jackhole Aussie rugger on the team? Apparently, he's a thing.
Also, GM Euan is starting up another AP. If you recall, he's one of the very few GMs to finish a complete AP run on these boards. There is an open recruit thread now...GM Euan's 2nd Darkness or something. I scratched up my new yahoo for that: Jallena (draft).
Anyhoot, life is good.
We had the first annual Skal Con up here, and had a special raffle for tickets to play a game with Clinton Boomer running his Hands of the Muted God. Gotta say, it was fun.
Also, I ended up with a copy of the Shackled City. Just trying to figure out where on Golarion it would best exist. Apparently, people have many opinions on that topic.
And my birthday is in two days.
Holy sh*t, September 23rd? Same as my youngest daughter! She'll be 3, so probably the years are different, but that's still cool.
As for mage armor, Bazsil, I remember that now! When you get a chance, please add it to the 'active conditions' on your profile. No trouble at all if you wait until you're home to do it from a computer.
Got some mates who were almost literally spewing about that Texas game. It made for a profitable poker night. I love playing against non-violent drunks.
Did not know about that jackhole Aussie for the 9ers. Cool. We Australians know how to kick. Well, not me... but "us".
The most important part of football this weekend was that my fantasy team remains undefeated, thanks entirely to the Cardinals defense. None of the actual football teams I like (Seahawks, Saints, anyone playing the Patriots) has been doing anything so far this year.
Although speaking of the Cardinal, it's always nice to see my alma mater defeat the University of Spoiled Children. It doesn't happen very often, so I always make sure to enjoy it.
After 2.5 years, my home Pathfinder group failed utterly at Jade Regent, so we just started up a Star Wars game on Sunday as a change of pace. We're the kind of Rebel Spec Ops group that rescues prisoners by impersonating a rock band and staging an impromptu flash mob concert on the Spaceport landing pad, so that we can free the prisoners in the confusion, then steal the Imperial Commanders shuttle with a couple of dozen groupies on board.
Heads up that I'll be at GrandCon this Friday thru Sunday and so likely won't be online at all.
Oh, and my Alma Mater, Western Michigan absolutely crushed Murray State.
So do you still live in West Michigan? I'm just north of GR myself.
Although speaking of the Cardinal...
You grew up on a farm? I bet you worshipped a tree, too.
Well, it was a nice victory for youse guys.
Although speaking of the Cardinal...You grew up on a farm? I bet you worshipped a tree, too.
Hey, how did you know? It was a cattle farm in rural East Texas and now it's all planted in pine trees. Sure made going to school in Palo Alto a bit of a culture shock, let me tell you. :)
Always happy to see them win every game but one.
And as far as the rules lawyering goes, that wasn't rules lawyering...that was teasing. Completely different. I reserve the right to tease and trashtalk and part of that is the occasional rules-tease.
Mwuaaahahahahah! I am the master of time! I will take 7 full round actions and you will all bow before me! /Gado is eaten by a T-Rex
Actually that just gave me an idea for a bit of Gado's personality... Since his wisdom score is so low, he is obviously gullible, and perhaps a bit blind to sarcasm... Now to find the right opportunity to take a sarcastic comment seriously in gameplay... hehehehe
Oh, and my Alma Mater, Western Michigan absolutely crushed Murray State.So do you still live in West Michigan? I'm just north of GR myself.
I wasn't for a very long time, until this summer actually. I work in Battle Creek and live just west of there. This part of the state is pretty awesome...
Always happy to see them win every game but one.
This made me laugh... Still can't believe they pulled that one out...
So I own 1 NFL jersey. Zack Follet, Detroit Lions Jersey. I loved watching him play... Sucks about his neck. Some day I am going to go to California just to go to his coffee shop.
Spent most of the weekend hanging out with family. Went to an apple orchard to pick fresh apples and raspberries. Very bountiful this year compared to last.
Also, I don't watch football, but a new indie film was put out on YouTube! Kung Fury! It's hilarious.
Played in my D&D 5e campaign last night. Killed an adult white dragon pretty easily, but my group balked at killing the cloud giant who betrayed us despite having two evil characters, a rapidly falling paladin and a dwarf fighter who has gone from LG to N over three levels.
Dwarf Fighter went into a town of lizardfolk and killed everything. I mean, everything. Murderhobo'd it up. This was before he willingly decided to attune to an artifact, sentient evil greatsword due to its powerful necrotic damage and anti-healing effect. Now, the sword won't let him use anything else but him when they fight.
Oddly, evil tiefling isn't that evil. Never seen him do anything evil.
Cleric of Bahamut (race unknown [maybe gnome now?] as we've had to reincarnate him four times now) is quickly losing favor as well as we have a spear of Tiamat, the Black Dragon Mask and a few other Tiamat relics. Cleric won't let us use them, but also doesn't take any steps to turn these over to his temple to destroy them or at least keep them under lock and key.
My character is a Harper (spy organization who works towards Neutrality between Good and Evil and Law and Chaos). He has convinced everyone to give him the loot and items due to having the Leomund's Secret Chest spell, so most of the magic items (aside from combat gear), loot and trade goods are kept by him. Not sure if the GM is going to give me orders to siphon off some of the more powerful relics of evil we have from Hell and the Tiamat cult back to the faction in Waterdeep.
Birthday birthday birthday
Happy birthday!
Did you know that 9ers have some jackhole Aussie rugger on the team? Apparently, he's a thing.
I should point out that he's/was a league player, not a rugger. I'm not sure what a jackhole is, but I suspect it describes Jarryd Hayne exactly.
While we're talking about team sport ball...
The Rugby World Cup started this weekend, so that's what I've been doing. Japan has won something like 2 games in 26 years, and came down to 3 points behind South Africa (who are very good, for those who care but don't know) and got a penalty kick on the siren. Rather than taking the kick and possibly levelling the score, they went "F*@~ it, we'll go for a try instead" and got it, in one of the greatest upsets in rugby history. There were people crying in the stands. It was just beautiful.
I now return you to your regular conversation.
