Level up!
Zed:
Inquisitor 4
+1 BAB
+1 Fort & Will saves
+1 Strength
+1 Judgement/day
+7 HP
+1 Hero Point?
+1 rank in each of:
Perception
Intimidate
+2 rank in each of:
Stealth
Knowledge (religion)
Background Skills (which I apparently completely forgot about)
Artistry (Philosophy) - I thought this would be neat because Zed watches others age and die while he endures, so he spends a lot of alone time considering the world and his place in it
Lore (Kavapesta) - Fairly obvious, he knows a lot about his family history
New inquisitor spells learned:
2nd level: inflict moderate wounds, blistering invective
Feral, how would you like to handle Raj's departure. Do you want to write him out or shall I? I don't want to kill him off, I think it's better that he just isn't equipped for the things that have happened to him and actually maybe he just wants to stay in Ravengro?
I don't have anything particular in mind but I'm sure I can come up with something :)
Your new character will be coming in very soon then.

Well, Feral, JZ...Looks like the sheriff is going to be out of action for a while. Just sayin'
Shall we make a "party kit" of items - useful to everyone but not ones that would be needed immediately in combat:
Antiplague X2
Sooth Syrup X3
Smelling Salts x3
Lesser Rest potion x4
Remove disease x3
Stone of Alarm
Thoughts?
Until we get to sell or trade or whatever, someone should carry the magic mace and dagger, just in case the journey is more than an Indiana Jones red line on the map...
Hazel or Zed would make sense to hold onto the mace. Anyone want the dagger?
Best to give it to someone with a better attack bonus, in case we're forced to use it. No point giving it to Constantin and having him fumble around helplessly if there's an encounter in which it's one of the only weapons that will work!
Cool. Well I hope you guys enjoyed the opening chapter to this campaign.
As always, I am open to criticism or suggestions of how I can improve this experience.
In the meantime, I will get things going on book 2 and look to introduce Feral's actual character! Big thanks from me on that score by the way dude, that was a huge help to maintain continuity.
I see how it is. The new guy shows up and it's sudden radio silence. =(
It's my steely gaze isn't it?
Lol I agree.
*Nudge*
*Sigh* spent pretty much all day in Accident and Emergency (ER for my American friends) because my gf had a nasty dog bite to her hand in work today. She's a veterinary nurse so kind of an occupational hazard but it was a particularly nasty nip.
No broken bones luckily just some deep punctures so all good but I may be too busy waiting on her hand and foot to update tonight :)
I hope she's doing ok.
Yeah she's pretty tough *thumb's up* plus I think she's enjoying being able to demand a cup of coffee while we watch the finale of Bate's Motel (which has been amazing this season btw)
I haven't been dealing with emergency medical treatment, but I am up to my neck investigating a fraudulent check clearing one of my customer's accounts. It's fitting we're with the Crooked Kin at the moment, because work has also turned into something of a circus!
Oh my goodness. What a circus this is at the office today. Oi.
1) JZ, I hope your lady recovers quickly dude! Keep spoiling her in the meantime =)
2) I'm heading out for the first of my cabin trips for the year today. There's no cell reception or nuffin' up there, so I'll be completely off ye olde gride until I get back sometime late Sunday.
If trouble hits while I'm gone (what are the odds, right?), and someone needs those sweet, sweet heals from Vala, feel free to roll some Healing Hex action for yourselves and I'll track them when I get back. Be safe! Don't take needless risks! <insert other suitably appropriate, grandmotherly, finger-waggy exhortations here>
=)
Hey guys, just to let you know it's my friends birthday today and mine on Monday so busy weekend ahead. I may not get a chance to post at all.
Belated happy birthday, btw...
Thanks guys. Another year of experience, don't think I've levelled up tho :/
Ok so here is my interpretation of glitterdust vs this thing. The glitterdust will reveal the spider whilst it is on the material plane but if it uses ethereal jaunt to jump to the ethereal plane, it won't work. When it comes back it will be visible again etc etc.
Do you agree with that assessment?
An ethereal creature is invisible, insubstantial, and capable of moving in any direction, even up or down, albeit at half normal speed. An ethereal creature can move through solid objects, including living creatures. An ethereal creature can see and hear on the Material Plane, but everything looks gray and ephemeral. Sight and hearing onto the Material Plane are limited to 60 feet.
Force effects and abjurations affect an ethereal creature normally. Their effects extend onto the Ethereal Plane from the Material Plane, but not vice versa. An ethereal creature can't attack material creatures, and spells you cast while ethereal affect only other ethereal things. Certain material creatures or objects have attacks or effects that work on the Ethereal Plane.
An ethereal creature treats other ethereal creatures and ethereal objects as if they were material.
As strange as it sounds, I think a glitterdusted creature that becomes ethereal remains visible (though they're still insubstantial for most effects).
I agree with the GM. Ethereal is a whole 'nother level.
That reads to me like only force effects and abjurations extend on to the ethereal plane...?
While the creature is ethereal only force effects and abjurations extend to the ethereal plane but the spider has to return to the material to attack. If it gets nailed with a glitterdust while it's on the material plane that glitterdust goes with it back to the ethereal plane where its innate invisibility, insubstantialness, etc kicks in.
Just replace glitterdust with being lit on a fire or any other status effect. If it was lit on fire while on the material plane and then retreated to the ethereal plane would the fire go away?
To be honest, I'm going to go with it because it's creative thinking that I like and this could be a b*tch of an encounter if it 'ports in and out all the time.
Vermundr, give me a quick heads up... where's bodyguard coming from?
Zelda has bodyguard from her familiar archetype. Technically she can't use it because she doesn't threaten any spaces but the archetype allows her to bodyguard her master (Vermundr) as long as she's in his space.
Loyal Bodyguard (Ex): A protector gains Bodyguard (Pathfinder RPG Advanced Player’s Guide 151) and Combat Reflexes as bonus feats. If the familiar is occupying its master’s square, it can use Bodyguard to aid another to improve its master’s AC even if it doesn’t threaten the attacking foe. This ability replaces alertness and improved evasion.
Ah I see, perfect. Didn't come into effect in this round but just so I know for future reference.
Yup, status effects stay the same. The glitterdust goes to the ethereal plane. Unless you can see onto the ethereal plane, you can't see the glitterdust.
Planar encounters are hard.
I'm cool with it Zed. You guys are still low level without much magic gear. This encounter is intended to be tough but not utterly deadly (there's plenty of time for that!)
I was leaning on glitterdust more for the blindness aspect than on it revealing the phasespider, but I am very pleased to see how this discussion unfolded whilst I was driving home! =)
:D
Both cool characters
Guys, I don't know if this is a stupid question or not.
Do you know if it's against pbp rules to post on here about charity events? My friends and I are doing something soon and I was going to see if any of my gaming buds would be interested in sponsoring us and/or logging in to Twitch to monitor our progress on the day :)
I'm not a Paizo employee, but I browse a lot of the forums and am very well aware of the board rules. As far as I know there is no rule against it, but I'm unsure what forum you would post it in.
I was just going to put a message in the discussion threads of games I was in tbh Zed. Not making a big deal of it, just if people wanted to spare a buck or two if they wanted to
Well if this gets flagged or taken off that's cool.
Hey guys, first off feel free to ignore this I won’t be offended, I understand I am being a bit mischievous posting it here anyway :)
....
A couple of my friends (Rob and Tom) and I are undertaking a 24 hour video gaming session on 9th - 10th June for the UK-based charity Macmillan Cancer Support
Robert lost his grandfather to cancer in 2013 and my mother had a tough time in 2014 leading to her kidney being removed and then an incredibly nervous few months until we had confirmation she was in remission. So this is a charity that is close to our hearts.
Playing computer games for 24 hours might sound like fun, but I suspect it’s going to be pretty tough as time goes on and we start getting more and more ratty with eachother... Besides, the best thing about this is being able to dip in to the live stream of us doing it and make requests in exchange for donations.
If you’d like to donate though - literally whatever you can spare would be gratefully received - it can be done quickly, easily and anonymously through the Just Giving link below.
In addition, for those who are interested, we are going to be live streaming the whole event on Twitch. So if you’d like to see us arguing and bickering as we get gradually more and more tired, and maybe even some (bad) singing when we play Rock Band, please feel free to log in any time during that 24 hours.
We will be taking requests for donations via Twitch throughout the day as well!
The link for that is below and will become active on the day:
Remember I completely understand if you aren't interested in donating, I have no issue with that at all dudes and dudettes, not least because this is a UK based charity. However, if you did want to join us at Twitch at some point that would be really fun!
Cheers,
Jamie
