No this game sets you against incorporeal creatures far earlier than you would normally expect (about level 2 on the ground floor of the prison) so this is fine.
Also yes, Haunt Siphons are very effective but specifically against haunts only
@Kaz: Agreed with your recommendations there. Not sure how we'll get them to come out of the walls, though. :)

A cunning variation on "neener-neener-neener"?
Ghost touch weapons are out of the question at this level but we should look into getting magic weapons for those that use them. Ghost salts are really only viable for archers.
Fortunately I think Zed, Hazel, and Vermundr have abilities to get by in the meantime.
Vala can both channel to harm undead and loose a volley of magic missiles to rival any evoker. We got this!
Dang. I know a grippli paladin who would have LOVED that longsword!
That longsword is worth, relatively speaking, a lot of cash for our level!
At some point I should probably upgrade my armor, but anything good will be pretty expensive. I don't have any "cheap" upgrades off the top of my head.
Lets go with 2 each. If we don't use it now, I have a feeling we'll have the opportunity later...
Yeah my thinking was that giving Raj's share to Vermundr would be the way to go but that's up to you.
Keen is the equivalent of a +1 bonus, so the +1 keen longsword is effectively priced as a +2 weapon - value of:
Longsword - 15
Masterwork - 300
+2 equivalent - 8,000
For a total value of 8,315, with a sale price of half that (4,175.5), unless it's made of a special material or bejeweled or something.
I'm really surprised nobody wanted that longsword. That's a solid weapon.

Picture Kaz holding up both hands, covered in band-aids, lower lip trembling...
I remember way back in the dim and misty, my d&d3.5 sorcerer used higher level slots to cast lower level spells. Is that a thing? Am I remembering a house rule?
To the point, Kaz will probably need to burn lvl 2 slots on additional magic missiles. Is that kosher?
I think that's correct, Kaz. However, I think it still counts as the spell's actual level unless you have the Heighten Spell feat. (so, no bump to save dcs or the like without the feat. not that that impacts magic missile in any way =P)
That is what I recall as well. I just have not been able to find it firmly in writing on the SRD.
Whadda ya say, GM? Sound legit to you?
I'm fine with it. I've seen it somewhere too but can't find it right now :/
Spell Slots
The various character class tables show how many spells of each level a character can cast per day. These openings for daily spells are called spell slots. A spellcaster always has the option to fill a higher-level spell slot with a lower-level spell. A spellcaster who lacks a high enough ability score to cast spells that would otherwise be his due still gets the slots but must fill them with spells of lower levels.
This is, however, noticeably present only in the descriptions of wizards and divine casters. The section on sorcerers and bards preparing spells doesn't include this text. And, the sorcerer class says:
Unlike a wizard or a cleric a sorcerer need not prepare her spells in advance. She can cast any spell she knows at any time, assuming she has not yet used up her spells per day for that spell level.
(Emphasis mine.)
So... ?
I understand the argument Constantin and actually I think the rules are a little grey on this.
I'm happy to allow it on the basis that as long as we are consistent in this game one way or another, I think it's ok.
I don't know how it would play in a PFS game and I may rule differently in that circumstance. But I'm happy to go in your favour unless.... you want the grittiness that less flexibility affords.
.............
TLDR: I'm happy to allow it unless you want me to rule otherwise :)
On a different note guys, I am getting keys to my new place tomorrow so aside from the excitement of that, there's quite a lot of work to do as well.
Because of the time difference between myself and most of you I don't think you'll see much of a drop in activity my side, but if you do then that's the reason why :)
Regardless, I'm absolutely committed to this game.
Oh, I wasn't making an "argument" necessarily, I was just trying to dig up the actual text. The verdict as far as I could tell was "unclear." :)
Congrats on the property purchase GM JZ. Buying a house is always a big milestone.

Yep, no worries I understand. I was just using it in the context that someone could make an argument for either reading.
Also, thanks Vermundr. It's my second purchase but the first for myself and my gf together so a big step!
Man, so much work to do in the new house that we don't seem to be making any progress
Moving day tomorrow so that'll be hectic. I'll post tomorrow night to get things moving again after we've settled down and sitting on the sofa we've ferried to the new place :)
Hey guys, I started a new job today that involves quite a long commute every day that I'm really not used to. So my posting may drop a little as I work out my new routine.
I'm hoping it won't significantly impact on my games but just thought I'd give you the heads up.
Yep - new house and new job. Not much else I could do that was as stressful as these two things combined :/
^(;;;)^
Yeah that's my depiction of a cthulu-monster that would be just my luck to arrive in my life instead of a baby!
Anyway... I think it's smoother to just meet back up with the team at this stage Hazel and decide whether you want to visit Bland or just head out to visit the witness of the final crime.
I know this section is a little disparate but I don't want to just rush through the RP sections to the next crime/fight scene so I hope both elements are as enjoyable.
Well.
That last post in the gameplay thread broke my heart. Holy crap.
What's happening guys, we've ground to a bit of a halt lately. Everything ok?
If there is anything about the game that you aren't enjoying or that you feel I could do better/differently please let me know either here or in a PM, I won't be offended and will look to adapt to keep things fun but moving at pace :)
I am always open to feedback.
No problems in game at all - just ill this weekend. Called off work today, which will actually give me the time to post my questions for Bland.
No, this game is a blast. Keep it up!
I'm just waiting for things to move along.
I thought someone said they had questions for Bland?
Good grief, JZ - the Beast is a better person than most people! Sheesh! I am so sad now!
I apologize for the silence, I had 4 days off the grid that surprised me. I'll catch up tonight.
So no worries GM. I just got dragged off to the middle of nowhere until now.
As I have said before, and will continue to say, this is one of the greatest games I've ever gotten the privilage to play in. Keep up the good work!
I will be camping and out of contact this weekend. Back Monday!
Sigh. So after a brief respite, my laptop has finally given up the ghost. So please bare with me whilst I try to sort out an alternative :)
A good tablet with a folio keyboard is a cheap alternative.
Thanks V. I have an alternative, It's just recovering all the data from my old one that's the hassle :/
Oh, that can be a real nightmare.
What's dead on the laptop?
No worries, JZ. WE'll be here when you're ready.
Motherboard. I've got ways and means for data recovery but it might have to wait for the weekend where I get some time :/
