Figure we should be listening to this, really.
Haha. Never heard that before.
I think Cuetzpalli just got online.
Yes. For the moment anyway.
I actually think this is a very interesting idea for an adventure. I just think Mearls tried to cram too much difficult stuff into one module. If I recall correctly, the editors were having a rough time of things, too, which is likely the source of most of the errors.
It occurs to me that Farrukh is pretty solid with a bow given Favored Target is used.
"Instant Switch Hitter, just add class feature!"
A 22 AC?! Who taught Cuetzpalli how to barbarian?
*Raises Hand*
I'm barbarianing properly! Check out that those pecs and associated abysmal AC.
Eh? Cuetz's AC is 18. At least that's what his stuff says.
I think that's Spiny you're looking at. He's 22 with the +2 breastplate.
Considering this AP has sent a high-AC barbarian using obscure 3.5 alternate class builds at us, I can't have a problem with Cuetz being damn near impenetrable.
I think Tanith should start using the unconscious one he's carrying around as a bludgeoning weapon.
I hit the post button on my post like 15 minutes ago and it just now posted and now the post is pointless. =(
Heh. You could not-follow Tanith around!
I considered using the prisoner as a weapon but I’m afraid it might break him. =(
22 is pretty standard for a 5th level melee dude I think.
If he were attacking himself he'd have a 45% chance to hit, not too bad. The average CR 5 creature has a 50% chance to hit him with a +10. -shrug-
I'm also only 2/5ths barbarian. Those 2/5ths can't even rage. So basically, I'm not a barbarian. I'm a dude who's badass. You can't label me :P
Well, we *can*. It's just that the label would be inaccurate. And silly.
Fightbarian.
Anyone seen our kobold?
I want to draw Cuetzpalli. What does my +2 breastplate look like?
I didn't have anything in mind. If you want to design it as you like, you're welcome to.
Hmmm. It's probably relatively plain and utilitarian since it's dwarven. That's also easier to draw. Google image search for real breastplate, here I come!
Off to Paizocon for the weekend. Not sure I'll be able to bring my battered computer with me, and I won't have much time to post regardless. Be back Monday!
So, how was Paizocon?
Great!
KC and I had many adventures within the slums of Seattle.
There's an interesting Pavlovian element to seeing how parties that have been through Whispering Cairn react to incoming swarms.
Can't imagine why.
For the record (since I'm going to bed), it'll take a single hit from anything to take this carrionstorm down.
Boy, I'm really looking forward to you guys killing these kenkus. Or these kenkus killing you. As long as you get out of the maze soon.
Though I'm actually pretty much done flipping between the two maps I was managing. Took sixteen rounds and sixteen days (hey, symmetry), but I'm finally done making "new round" posts that take half an hour and look like they take half a minute.
Yeah, you and me both, KC.
I'll especially be glad when Carina comes back. :)
By the way, FYI (I can't remember if I've mentioned this yet): You guys have leveled a bit faster than you should have. Totally my fault. As such, you won't level up at the end of 3FoE, and you'll only level up once in the third installment—which will quickly become the norm regardless.
There will, however, still be an Action Point refresh at some point (either at the end of this adventure or halfway through the next one).
D=
Hey, on the bright side, you're going into the next installment a bit ahead of the curve. I'm just letting things even out. :P
For the record, at least part of my sudden obsession with relighting the wall torches is resetting the map so you wouldn't need to change the lighted squares every single time someone moved.
That plus basic tactics, but sympathy for the GM was still in my heart, man!
Next time I run 3FoE, I'm just gonna require all players to play half-orcs or dwarves.
Actually, next time I run 3FoE, I'm gonna run Burnt Offerings.
Smart!
On my way to my cousin's wedding. Won't be able to post for a while.
Hey, i've got a wedding today too! Likewise away from posting capabilities, though late-night drunken posting is possible if Big Things Happen over the course of the afternoon & evening.
...this was payback for all the bird puns we/I was making before, wasn't it?
This idea's been bugging me for a long time now... and the kamikaze kenku just added fuel to it.
I'm not planning to act on it, as much as I'd like to...
Taking a level of Gunslinger.
I know, I know, it's a really silly idea. It's just that Carina could potentially figure out the recipe for gunpowder...
Well, the one mental ability Carina doesn't have much focus on—Wisdom—is what the gunslinger needs. Otherwise, I'd say it complements her fairly well.
There is the Mysterious Stranger archetype... it bases its grit points off Charisma instead of Wisdom.
I could see Carina as a mysterious stranger.
Yeah, but Carina gets more extracts as she gains Alchemist levels...
Oh, it's a conundrum...
Well, on the 'plus' side, a single level dip won't lose her that much alchemy-extract ability, and would give her a nice and in-character explosive option for those times when a bomb would be impractical (or when she's out of bombs for the day.)
Sure, maybe a one-level dip would be fine...
This AP I think has a chance to end at 21st level so a one-level dip is actually maybe a good idea.
e: edited out the part where I said I was thinking about rogue, but now Tanith's post is all alone, so here is context
If you're only doing one level it doesn't matter too much. Maybe Sanctified Rogue?
What's the caster level on the magic missile wand?
By default wands are at the minimum caster level. So if it's not mentioned, 1st.
Are we ready to potentially tangle with the *redacted*?
