Kingmaker: The Varnhold Vanishing

Game Master wehrpig

Everyone has leveled up. Please post your 8th level stats in your profiles.

Ezekial takes another level of unchained Rogue.

He gains 8 total hit points and his dexterity goes up to a 20 (22 with his belt). His BAB and Reflex save both increase by 1.

He gains the Skirmisher ability and a new rogue talent - Extra Feat, with which he takes Spring-Heeled Style. This gives him +2 on attacks if he moves 10 or more feet. This will also lead to other feats in the feat chain.

He gains 8 skill points and spends them on:
Acrobatics +1
Diplomacy +4
Disable Devise +1
Perception +1
Stealth +1

His slight of hand and appraise also both increase by 1.

Updating stats in profile later today.

True Resurrection
And I'm back after that crunch period, will go through the back log and put up a post in a day.

Hey everyone, unless there are any objections, I'm going to fast-forward the AP past the investigation and wilderness exploration to the next dungeon to speed things up.

That sounds fair, especially if you feel its a hang-up for the campaign. We could roll it into the kingdom mech as a turn-by-turn thing.

Seres takes a 2nd level of Feysworn...

Hit Points: 1d8 ⇒ 2 ... laaame!

+1 to Cha

+ Breacher (sense direction of nearest breach to the First World)

+ Feyskinned (2/min per day, gain DR 10/cold iron)

+ vanish
+ bull's strength ... can use the new bow!
+ haste

+1 Fly skill

How about Larisa for the new bow with bulls strength?

Actually, scratch that. Seres is the only one with strength close enough to think about using it. Connor isn’t a bow guy.

But he will certainly take the sword if there are no objections. Will put the great axe back into the sell pool. Will look at the buyout process but will likely have to go into debt to keep it since I doubt any of us have enough cash to cover it. Part of the reason I hate the buyout. High end items become unattainable because ... communism. Ha!

Yeah unfortunately Larisa has noodle arms :(

Level 8
Fighter (Weapon Master-Longbow) 3
Hp: 1d10 ⇒ 4 Eh, guess it'll have to do.
+1 Dex
BAB +1 > +6/+1

Weapon Training (Ex)
At 3rd level, a weapon master gains a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls with his chosen weapon. The bonus improves by +1 for every four levels beyond 3rd.

+1 Ref
+1 Will

Skill 2 Class + 1 Race
+1 Perception
+1 Sense motive
+1 Acrobatics
Background
+1 Nobility
+1 Dance

And let's not forget the cohort.

Kess picks up the Winter Witch prestige class, so she becomes a
Witch (Winter Witch/Season Witch [winter]) 5/ Winter Witch 1.

You see you are no longer dealing with an average Winter Witch, I've risen beyond the limits of a normal Winter Witch and into the legend you fear. I have become a winter winter witch winter witch winter witch.

For this unholy amount of wintery power, Kess gains:
Hp: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 Reroll ones?
Hp: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
+1HP Favoured Prestige Class

No increase in spells per day :(

+1 Will save

Hyperboreal Patronage
A winter witch’s patron reveals an icy aspect. A winter witch adds the following spells to her spell list at the following class levels, but does not automatically learn them:

3rd—wall of ice
5th—icy prison
7th—freezing sphere

Winter Witchcraft
Levels of the winter witch prestige class stack with witch levels for determining when she learns new hexes, the effect of her hexes and other witch class abilities (including archetype abilities), the abilities of her witch’s familiar, and the level at which she can select major hexes or grand hexes.

Hex:
Protective Luck (Su)
The witch can cause fate to twist so that it benefits a creature within 30 feet for 1 round. Whenever that creature is targeted by an effect that requires an attack roll, including weapon attacks, the attacker must roll twice and take the worse result.

At 8th level and 16th level, the duration of this hex is extended by 1 round. A witch cannot use this ability on herself. Hexes that affect the fortune hex, such as cackle, also affect protective luck.

Skills 6+1
+1 Diplomacy
+1 Arcana
+1 Perception
+1 Sense motive
+1 Survival
+1 Spellcraft
Background
+1 Song
+1 Linguistics (Elvish)

Ishai (Sage Familiar)
Int 11
+1 to all Knowledge checks
+1 Nat AC
+1 History
+1 Nature

Aaand I realize I screwed up my math. I have a 12 Str normally, currently boosted to 14 with a +2 belt. Bull's strength or a +4 belt only gets me to 16, not 18! =( So I really need a +6 belt to make the bow usable.

To bridge the gap, I'm going to take monstrous physique as my 3rd level spell, which I was looking at anyway. It provides a +2 size bonus, as well as special movement abilities.

EDIT: scratch that for fey form, which has the same size bonus but fits Seres much better!

EDIT EDIT: Gah, that's a level 4 spell (though its very similar to monstrous??), so back to monstrous physique it is!

I suspect that we are suppose to return that bow at some point anyway. I am good with you taking the sword Connor. We are getting up into levels where money should come in much faster. And there is no issue with you "owing the bank" for any number of thematic items in my book. It would only come up if two people wanted the same item and one has more debt than the other - at least that is my thinking.

Does anyone else want the crossbow?

And can we do some shopping? I want to get a charisma item.

Are we anywhere near civilization?

Also, I'm posting level ups here but they are dependent on allowing retraining for my abilities which technically takes time. Since we agreed to that after we left town, can I execute it now with our hand wave of time? Otherwise, I will rebuild the level up.

+1 level Hunter

Retraining to: Switch int/wis (350gp)
Retrain feat: power attack to combat expertise (350gp and technically requires someone else with the feat)

Gain teamwork feat: Pack Flanking
Gain Hunter tactics: (Note with this, now Whitetalon gains Outflank and Pack flanking as well, so we are always flanking when riding and both threaten and gain +4 to our attacks and AoOs when the other crits)
Gain HPs: 1d8 ⇒ 4

No favored class bonus
Gain 1 zero level spell: Grasp
Gain 1 first level spell: <not picking, can no longer cast 1st level spells>
Gain +1 Intelligence
Taking Gnomish for a language from Int increase

Skill ranks: (includes update for Int changes)
Diplomacy, Perception, Ride, Know Nature, Know Noble, Handle Animal: +1
Climb: Acro, Climb, Survival: +6

Whitetalon upgrade

HP: 1d10 ⇒ 3

+Pack Flanking
+1 Fly

+ Greater OVerrun

FYI made some posts for the Kingdom incase the thread doesn't get updated to active

Do we have a coin split so we know how much we have to spend? No way I will be able to afford that +6 dex belt and am convinced its only there to taunt me. :)

Yeah, it has turned inactive.

Had a commission of Larissa done by a cool artist I know, take a look!

Cool!!

Very nice. I like how you included the Green Man's ankh!

Yeah, it's an important part of her character so made sure it was represented!

Very nice work!

Leaving on a 13 day trip in an hour. Will try to post some in late afternoon, evening times from phone. Maybe Zeke will be awake when I return. :P

Sorry for the vanishing act, state finals are coming up and this completely fell of my radar, who knew the culmination of a degree would be so stressful?

Can someone post actions for Larisa and Kess? Otherwise they will go full defense.

I am back from my travels, and since Zeke is still out, can try to post for them tomorrow. Jet lagged and two weeks behind on everything. :)

Welcome back!

Thanks! A good trip but a long one. Croatia, Slovenia, and 2 days in Venice tacked onto the end.

Sign. I had good intentions of posting last night but the boy scout meeting I help with ran late and did I mention Jet Lag? Will try again tonight.

*Happy trumpets*
Guess who has their Bachelors of Nursing! Years of study finally paid off WOOOOH

Congrats!

Woot! Very good!

Kess - A witch must prepare spells, right? So Rime cannot be applied on the fly? I could not find what spells were prepared on his sheet, much less what had already been cast. I have had a cold caster in the past but took a feat allowing me to add Rime for free but Kess does not seem to have that.

Witches are prepared casters yes, a few pages ago I posted her prepared spells for the day, adding rime to snowball.

On the forums the way I do prepared casters is list their prepared spells ina spoiler for the ingame day and as time goes by cast off that until the next ingame day goes by and refresh it.

Cool - Not knowing I might have to try to bot you I must have missed that or just not noted it as significant for me. Are you back?

Congrats Larisa! That is a significant achievement.

Yes! Outstanding!!

BTW, leaving for Costa Rica on Wednesday for 2 weeks. I will post where able but it will slow down.
