2 full BAB attacks is good. You know what's better? 2 full BAB attack+ third attack at -5. So using a move action to intimidate will net you 2 attacks levels 1-5. Level 6 you can nag Cornugon and full attack for 3 attacks.
because you still get a swift action on rounds that you full attack.
sounds like a plan to me! Couple of questions: 1) Are there items/powers that can give a character an additional swift action/turn?
2)Are there items/powers that can "improve" the status effect set by succesfull intimidate rolls from "shaken" to the next levels of fear?
1. No way to add swift actions.
2. Here
BTW, I haven't seen a decision about loot: You just mentioned you prefer either option 1 or 3.
how is loot value determined? what about time spent in game working our professions? does that count as loot? also, what about general expenses like healing? - as we have no cleric, our healing will have to be item based - so how does that get calculated? what about hirelings?
All loot has value (except unique named artifacts which are priceless); The value is just the selling price.
Time practicing in professions doesn't plkay into loot, it's something you do individually. By "loot" I mean gear you find together as a group during your adventures.
General group expenses and Items (like wand of Cure Light Wounds, bribing guards to pull off mission etc.) are usually deducted from the loot before it is distributed to the members.
so just finished watching the Daredevil series. Have you guys noticed that before Wilson Fisk starts hitting people he always works himself into a rage? Barbarian anyone?
lol
Erez, do you have any control over the interface command settings? specifically, can you make the [smaller]font smaller and the [bigger] font bigger than they are now?
Also, I had an idea regarding mini games like we just had: if Erez and I had not done it the way we did that scene could have lasted a week. On the other hand, it's not cool that I or Terry (being on the sameish time zone with Erez) are the only ones that get to play that type of game. I don't know how often Erez plans for us to do them, but I suggest if they are a recurring thing that we find someone in Israel (Gadi maybe?) who can act as Erez's proxy for scenes like that so that people in Israel can also play these mini games on the one hand, but a short scene like that won't take a week on the other.
Daniel, the only reason I ran this scene like this is because the unfolding of this scene didn't matter in the grand scale of things (just a game that introduces you to some NPCs) and there are no real decision variables (you pretty much roll the same check over and over until it's over).
There won't be many occurrences like this. In most cases it would either be a full description from me (describing the beginning, middle and end of an event you have no control over) or full round-by-round event where each and every one of you have full decision making facility. In which case it would take a week, as it should.
Oh, and I don't know any way to change the [tags] presets.
and what shall we do if the groups splits?
We have weekends and mornings too, so it's not like Erez and I are only here when it's late at night in Israel... He also did he he wanted a volunteer to get this scene go as fast as possible, which I'm all for, roleplaying tug-o-war is almost as boring as reading quidditch.
Hopefully the group won't split, as this tug-o-war game was the excuse to bring us all together.
Not the only excuse to bring you together, just the first one. Eli, if you want Chan to retire early to bed you can do it. I'll bring you together later on.
As for loot, once we make sure we got enough group things (healing supplies mostly, but probably other things as well - mounts for example if we decide to get them, etc), then we should divide loot by value with options - for example if we find in an adventure 1000GP and 2 magic items, the items worth 750 each, and we are 6 people, then sure we can sell the items and divide the total, but I think some provision for use must be provided - if one of those items can help one of the group members - say a weapon or an item of protection, etc, then we should allow people to "borrow" from group funds - get the item, but then owe money to the group - so they would get less actual cash from future adventures, etc. Also, we need to create a mechanism to settle disputes (what to do if say both African American Jack and I want the same ring of +1 dodge we just found)
then i get first dibbs because i'm older lol jk
ok, so let me see if I got it right:
At first you want to accumulate loot to create a party pool for things like healing. Once you think you have enough in the pool you want to distribute equally by loot value, correct?
One easy way to implement the latter part is to maintain a list of loot by sell value. Everyone gets their share of the total value, and can "buy" things off that list by paying their sell value.
So in your example every member gets their share of 2,500GP (417GP for 6 people) and can buy those magic items for 750GP each, as long as only one person buys a specific item.
Therefore if you don't want any magic item you get 417GP; If you want 1 magic item you pay 333GP; and if you want both magic items you pay 1,083GP.
And you suggest that members can take a loan from the group funds to do this.
Sounds reasonable to me.
Anyone objects?
And who will keep track of loot?
Fine by me
looks good
I must say that buying healing items and scrolls isn't cost effective .
A 50 uses wand of Cure light wounds is 750 GP , which is a spell that I can take next level ( I could have started with it , but opted not) .
This means that I'll need to preserve some of my L1 spells allotment on healing but it's better than using 750 GP on it .
As for dispute settling: I think that the first param is the total amount of magical levels on item/ total value of items the char has.
For example :
Hugh and Black both want's the +2 Ring of Protection.
Hugh has a +1 Flaming broadsword and and a Mithril shirt(counts as a l1 magical item).
Black on the other hand has a +1 Chain shirt and a +1 great axe.
Black has a a total Magical levels ( ML) of 2 , Hugh on the other hand has a ML of 3 ( mithril shirt+ flaming+ (+1) on the weapon) so black gets to do the 'buy off' first.
Black no has a total ML of 4 and thus if a similar conflict would arise Hugh will have first pick.
P.S
if we use the group founds to buy mounts I would like to get a partial refund for the one I used my starting money on :).
I like Lily's ML dispute settling idea. As for healing, assuming you take cure next level, how many time can you use it/day?
I'll need to preserve some of my L1 spells allotment on healing but it's better than using 750 GP on it .
This is your choice as a player. When I am a player, I look at it as 15gp per use (or 7.5 GP per use for wands found and not sold). I find it very reasonable for level 1, and pocket-change for level 2. The alternative option being - conserving spell slots that could have been utilized for much more efficient uses (e.g. taking out opponents before they deal the damage that requires healing. Or solving problems/puzzles. Etc.)
Courtesy of how y'all described your characters in the character sheets.
They're all sketch-level and easy to fix, so if I got anything wrong just tell me. This won't be a full drawing... Just had to get it out of my system.
that's awesome!
@Terry: That's awesome! (As I already told you before, but this sketch merits repeated praise!)
Now, following Lily's use of Celestial, I hereby offer a system for using languages.
Languages
To make languages fun and engaging we’ll use cool writing systems, with the help of Google Translate to display languages other than common.
You would write the foreign text in bold where everyone can see, and add a spoiler (titled as the language) with the English translation.
Example:
The orc diplomat looks at you and explains ” Սա վարչապետ օրինակ է խոսքի. Քանի որ ոչ ոք չի անհանգստացնել կարդալ հնչյունաբանություն, այնուամենայնիվ, կարող է նաեւ օգտագործել սառը տառատեսակներ ներկայացնել լեզուն” in a harsh voice.
This is just one example. Here's a compilation of other cool fonts we can use for many other languages.
Original Text:
This is a prime example of the speech. Since no one will bother reading the phonetics anyway, might as well use cool fonts to represent the language.

@terry: Thats awesome, thanks! The only thing I would make a tiny diffarent would be to make me a touch less pretty... :)
@erez: That sounds like a nifty idea, however I am still not clear at all on what languages do I know...
I am still not clear at all on what languages do I know...
That's easy. You're technically a human, house-ruled to know halfling languages (Common+Halfling). You have 10 intelligence and no ranks in linguistics so nothing else besides that.
So I know Common + Halfling, and halfling is different from Human or Dwarf because every race has their own secret language that they use? Is that right? (and not at all raciest...)
Think of Halfling as Yiddish. You mostly speak Common in this town, but since your grandparents use Yiddish Halfling here and there you caught enough to know the language.
There is no "Human" language, most humans speak Common (Taldane). There are regional languages, however we ignore them for now. (Otherwise I'd assume that Manami, Black-Jack and Chan also know Tien).
@eli now that we have a picture from Terry, are you going to make us some new maxiatures?
I will tray daneal, hopefully they will be better XD
erez I wod love to utilize Tien :)
Thenks for the scachs terry :) !!!
@Eli: The last batch of Maxiatures were perfect.
@Erez: Can we do assisted perception rolls when searching the room?
You guys may remember that I like reading a web comic called "looking for group". Well, I just discovered they have a pathfinder game box.
http://shop.blindferret.com/collections/looking-for-group-other/products/lf g-pathfinder-rpg-box-set
The link isn't working for me
oops. somehow it got warped. try this:
http://shop.blindferret.com/collections/looking-for-group-other/products/lf g-pathfinder-rpg-box-set
Its the same link
it did it again! this is weird. look at the link, it added a space before the "lf" and the "g" after the last "/". copy the link and then delete that space.
since it's Mother's day, how about a best "Hugh's mama" joke competition?
iFix
so... can i take feat points in fwoosh?
so... can i take feat points in fwoosh?
No, but you can point your feet at your friends and say "Fwoosh!"
Seeing as there are only 1-3 players actively participating, I think we'll pause the game until we'll figure out what happens with everyone and if we want to continue this at all.
any updates? did you check with the other players to see whats going on?
