Yeah, that's some of what I'm enjoying with Hamza. He gets some solid teleportation abilities through his maneuvers. Not sure if I'll go dimensional savant or not, especially if you are.
I guess i will build up ranged combat a bit more, but actually maneuvers are the main stick here.
Dimensional Savant can support that as well and it's really good for someone with sneak attack, can flank with myself, but also lower enemies AC for others and provide debuffs.
Amunet-Ra could have some serious crowd control skills, if foes CMDs aren't too high^^
Guess i wouldn't mind some combats where we face many foes which aren't that powerfull. For Dark Sun, long adventuring days where we need to deal with our resources are also really appropriate and can help the GM balance some stuff.
I still have no idea what the other characters here can actually all do or not.
Hamza has a pair of Path of War classes, which use maneuvers(strikes, boosts, and counters) much like the old Tome of Battle for 3.5.
I've given him a fair amount of different and varied maneuvers, including some that allow trip and disarm attempts, ways to make two weapon fighting deadlier, a teleportation attack, and a bunch of other cool tricks.
He's very much a hit and run, skirmisher style attacker. He's got a base movement of 55', which can situationally increase when he uses one of his main class features. He's also got a solid acrobatics bonus, and an awesome stealth modifier. Very a much a strike from shadows build. Probably going to look into spring attack, as I don't remember what's changed for that under the feat tax.
When should we do the level up?

Mobility is part of Dodge.. therefore you only need dodge and +4 BAB as a pre-req
When should we do the level up?
whenever you finish since some people already updated their sheets
I just realized, as I was looking over the Athas book, that I never rolled for my Wild Talent. I am teh dumb!
Empathy. That works nicely!!
Also, character sheet is pretty much updated.
Think I’m about done on updating.
Didn’t know what we are doing with foebiting so just took spellcasting for now.
Catching up on Gameplay now. I'll get a first post in soon.
As for the level-up, I'm going with gestalt/mythic.
GM, since I've noticed there's been some confusion regarding the Grapple rules, I've linked This handy flowchart in my character sheet. Since there are now two Grapple-focused characters in the game I thought it would be helpful as a reference.
EDIT: I'll wait for Cae to do the summoning-thing.
I'm off for a weekend and you post so much. XD
What entrances can we see from where we're at deeper into the tomb? Are there six, if I'm reading the map right?
There's a surprisingly wide variance in our party's Vigor/Wound totals. Are we generating Vigor as normal, or is there some other system being used?

Yes, there are six -- three on the left, and three on the right.

I think we talked about this earlier in the discussion thread -- there might be a mythic power or something that increases Vigor -- does anyone remember?
All mythic paths grant bonus Vigor. I don't think that accounts for the variation I'm seeing.
For instance, Cae the Paladin with a Con of 20 has 33 Vigor and Rokan the Monk with a Con of 10 has 74 Vigor.
Those numbers are confusing me.
Con affects Wounds, not Vigor: Wounds & Vigor.
Also, I have not updated my sheet yet.
I looked at his sheet, and I think this explains it:
Psionic Body (Psionic) Your mind reinforces your body.
Benefit: When you take this feat, you gain 2 hit points for each psionic feat you have (including this one). Whenever you take a new psionic feat, you gain 2 more hit points.
Also, for every vigor roll, you can take half if you roll under half.
Forgot to roll. Worked out. :)
Oh, I see. Thanks for the help, I thought either I was doing something horribly wrong, or someone else was.
No worries, and please feel free to bring up further issues for discussion. This is a very congenial, diplomatic group, and we've been working through rules issues together in discussion as they come up.
Turns out, I was doing something horribly wrong. I figured it out and fixed my numbers.
I had to convert the Deathless ability to Wounds and did it wrong the first time.
So, if you click on my character it takes you to the sheet, and *that* has a link to a spreadsheet which works up all of the individual numbers for build. The "progression" tab shows what adds up to the vigor total (including the count of psionic feats that apply for Psionic Body), if you're ever curious.
I see it now. Neat build.
One of my recent posts includes info for Raxus in a spoiler to help you respond to Cae
I think you meant Rilkus being in the walls, not Raxus.
I did make that mistake -- I just posted to clarify
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Raxus, Rilkus and Ri'Kli'Klek.
I feel like this is a deep state conspiracy to mess with the GM....
And now I am glad to have gone druid. Being able to walk through walls, and create stone doorways, is proving to be pretty useful.
Edit!
Just realized that I have burrow speed of 10ft not earthglide. I get earthglide at lvl8. I got the cross referencing mixed up. Sorry about that.
It doesn't really effect the outcome of the current interaction, but I still need to confirm you're trying to tunnel outside, not into one of the six tombs off the central arcade.
For the party! We are trying to get *inside* right? Because we need the info for the elf so we can do the main quest. So, where exactly should we be stone shaping a door into?
If you're trying to get into one of the six tombs, and you're burrowing into the wall on the left side, you'll be entering the lower lefthand tomb, somewhere around the winding tunnels in the corner -- Hamza has a map that has captions that explain some of the areas, but no one seems to want to look at it, so you're going in blind!
Which, he had taken out and was looking at.
Tell me what you want to do with it -- you can magnify the portion that shows the tombs, and read the captions -- including the tomb into which Rilkus is burrowing. I'll alter the image as you tell me what you're doing.
I think everyone wants to look, but there is a lot going on.
This Numenera game of Sebecloki seems to be in need for some more players. Of the initial ones, only a few are responding.
Character build rules are not completely clear, but that can be discussed.
I would love that Numenera game to happen^^
Yeah, we have so many characters it's hard to come to a consensus on what to do.
This is a very interesting game of his.
The entire party is made up out of female demigods, the daughters of deities (with one side being mortal). Two tricksters, two warriors, and one healer. The power level is insane (even by this game’s standard). And yet Sebeloki never fails to disappoint when it comes to making interesting and deadly high powered games.
One of the key things that's working well so far in this game, and I want to encourage, is character - character interactions and posts.
Some of the difficulty in keeping games going sometimes is when everyone just posts very basic things like "I'm standing around still", and expecting the DM to instigate all new activity and only interacting with the DM and/or NPCs. It's hard to get into the right groove, but I feel like we've got a really good party now after a long list of the bravely come and gone (seriously I think we've had like 20 or more characters in this game, and only Rilkus and Rokan are original players, and only Rokan with his starting character!).
Since we haven't entered another combat, I am going to make one of the adjustments I mentioned above: swap out the two "Psionic Talent" feats for
his character sheet and info will be updated by tomorrow
With this he's likely going to get more directly involved in melee, but involving his psionics, so it's not one or the other (as it's been so far for him... probably the only reason he hasn't died and remains the last original character... hopefully that doesn't mean he skates closer to death now :) )
Oh, yeah, I still need to do this:
you get 1/2 (i.e, 5), if you roll under that (as in this case)
Is everyone moving into the tomb behind Rilkus? I just want to know where everyone is spatially for descriptions (hint, it would help me if everyone would, it's difficult to do PbP when people are in different areas for a long time).
Pick a cutoff time at which you assume it, because it seemed like everyone was headed that way and none of the dialog was dependent on staying (that I could tell).
I'm following Cae for now, probably in the back so I don't block anyone's view.
As a reminder, I can take AoOs while flat footed, and I have a reach of 20'
I think I've made it clear Ri'Kli'Klek is following Rilkus. He'd be near to the front.
I think someone just tried to poke around the battlemap while I was fixing something -- if it wasn't working, it should be now, I've updated the link
So, did nobody else consult Hamza's map, to determine which direction ya'll are supposed to be heading in?
Also, GM, fyi: Hamza now has incorporeal step while moving:
When a shadow lord moves, it gains the incorporeal subtype and quality, including a deflection bonus to AC equal to its Charisma bonus. It loses the incorporeal subtype and special ability when it stops moving.
Also, since I assume it's not bright light in this tunnel, this is in effect as well:
Shadow Blend (Su)
In any illumination other than bright light, a shadow creature blends into the shadows, giving it concealment (20% miss chance). A shadow creature can suspend or resume this ability as a free action.
Hamza, did you see the notes Fenriz wrote in Infernal for you in one of the spoilers in a recent post? That will give some hint as to what to expect in the tomb.
Also, did we finish burning the trog bodies? How did we accomplish that?
@Hamza -- still not sure if you saw the notes on the map I gave you in the game play thread -- those may be of assistance in understanding what everyone's getting into in this tomb.
@Everyone else -- did we burn the bodies (how?)? Are we all moving into the tomb? Can everyone please position themselves on the battlemap?
Cae was burning the bodies using Spark.
