Okay, so, we're gaining a druid, then? She looks like a druid. Is she a druid?
Wait. Wait a minute. She's a druid.
Oh man
Wait, why are you freaking out so much? She's a one-armed water druid with flowers forever in her hair. What's so freaky about that?
Need an army of animal companions!
Had to put my cat to sleep today. Worst experience of my life and one I don't ever want to go through again.
I'm sorry for your loss :( I know how that is.
I'll post later, I know it's "my turn".
Thanks man. Still got 2/3rd's of his grave to dig but it's late here, so I have all day to do that tomorrow.
The vet and us all came to the conclusion that the little boy had cancer, thyroid issues and arthritis. He had a huge amount of muscle wastage and ate 8 meals today and was still hungry.
He could move around but was a little wobbly and slept 98% of the time, seemingly only living for food and although only 12, what kind of life would that have been?
His breed was Turkish Van Cat. They're known to have characteristics of a dog (strong companionship with a select single person in the household - which was me, though he was originally bought for my mum), incredible intelligence (he'd look at you in a certain way when speaking - as if he was trying to understand it) and you could teach him tricks. His breed of cat are also known to love water and like swimming, though he just liked flicking it around the room. Lovely looking boy and a true friend.
Hope your day has been a lot more positive! :)
With Aeries taking Con Damage, Dmtri becoming a walking river of blood, Kori becoming a care bear (Spiked one) and Apollo with Nom going all smash them mode, I'm guessing we really need a cleric?
Maybe a little bit.
You need a Cleric? Alright. I will leave the druid for later. It will take some work, but I have something.
Do not make a character based off of what we need. Make a character based off of what you want to play. If the party can't stay alive without someone to constantly heal them, they're just gonna die.
Druid works. They got healing too. Not as much as a cleric but enough I think. We're shaping up to be a really weird party.
On one hand we got the conservatives.......on the other we have the subtle sucidal and the obvious sucidal.
Got to love you all.
Not so much freaking out at the fact she's a druid, rather, freaking out at the fact we're going to have another woman in the party that I can't say no to.
Well, it seems like we're actually not getting the druid.
Should I look elsewhere for a divine, or do any of you know someone (a good, reliable and well-spoken player) who might be interested in playing a divine here?
Kori won't say no. She'll want another female I'm guessing. :P
They're going to gossip about me.
I am not 100% certain, but I feel as if you decided to host a topic dedicated to getting 1 divine for the game and told them we were in book 2 and in the house of the beast, then I'm sure we could find yet another handful of prisoners in a random closet in the house of the beast that's been there for some time.
Who knows, they might hate gnolls more than Apollo does.
Also do you believe my alignment might be what is turning people away?
No, I think it's that he couldn't finish up his draft to his own satisfaction, or perhaps that he didn't want to dedicate the time to this game.
So I should just open up recruitment?
How's that?
I'm fine with anything...
Any divine that isn't a paladin is okay with me. As an Antipaladin, no amount of roleplay would let those 2 classes work together, unfortunately.
I'm not against the Sivannah cleric guy rerolling that. He has less than 15 point buy...
Also let's just take a moment to appreciate how ruthless these things are. This is ridiculous, and I love it. That said I sincerely hope Aeris doesn't die to poison in his first outing.
You know, in hindsight, that shield was just the best idea ever, wasn't it? I take great pride in the fact I'm one of the very few that use fight defensively and total defense often :D
Lein, I didn't get to say it in the WotR thread before it closed, but that's what I was afraid of when you offered to step up in the KM game and mentioned changing out some of your games. I also hate to see you go in the MM (the CC I can totally understand). I am really glad that it didn't affect this game or my SStar though.
Sorry about that, Kori. I just was having trouble making myself excited about that WotR game. I'd be doing the bare minimum, and that's not worth the time of the excellent players that were in that game.
So sorry everybody. Shuffling between work, home and hospital is killing my time.
I'll try to post as often as I can, if I'm holding up the game, bot me as needed.
+16 fort.....what! Lol.
A mixture of feats, charisma, constitution, and full progression in fighter *and* antipaladin.. it's kind of preposterous but it's one of Dmitri's best qualities.
Oh god, those checks, haha!
Hey Dmitri, could you please update your header?
Specifically, change your HP to be correctly current, and make sure that the header represents the following:
hp x/x | AC/touch/flat-footed, CMD | Saves | Init, Perception
Hey all! I want to talk about a build that I'm using to try and foil a party of mine.
Y'all mind checking it out and offering advice?

The obvious and glaring weakness is that for an 18th-level melee character her health is quite low. She does, however, make up for it with other defenses. 35 AC in 1v2 combat vs. evil/chaotic opponents, at least +19 to all saves, the ability to make a sense motive check (at +30) and make that her AC once/round, a 10ft. reach with Combat Reflexes and Stand Still and the ability to entangle foes she hits.
Anyway. The point is basically to remain away from foes and unleash lots of attacks. Occasionally she can Scorpion Style so that they can't 5ft. step - their 5ft. movement will provoke AoOs.
Wait, I just realized I took one too many feats - no room for Stand Still.
Fixed Router. Am back.
I would suggest making her 1 level lower, and throwing in 2 people that are 3 levels lower as goons with the near-same feat line, and have them all look at various members of the party.
I constantly mix up Daemons and Demons...
Daemons also all have at least fire resistance 10.
Here it is, a quick guide:
Devils - LE, from Hell. The point of their existence is domination and corruption. When they are done with you, you are a slave for life and death.
Demons - CE, from the Abyss. The point of their existence is destruction and wreckage. When they are done with you, you are a husk of a person, tortured maximally and broken.
Daemons - NE, from Abaddon. The point of their existence is death. When they are done with you, you are destroyed. Gone from existence.
All three are either resistant or immune to each energy type, and all (I believe) are immune to poison.

Sorry for the delay guys. I'll have a post up tomorrow. Been massively busy with work and feeling overtired/run down, so haven't had a chance to reply yet, but yea I'll get Nom's Handle Animal checks up and get back to the roleplaying asap (tomorrow or Thursday). :)
Hey guys! Sincerest apologies but I'm on a moderate, miniscule bit of a vacation and shall resume posting normally on Sunday. Sincerest apologies that I didn't do anything in the ways of telling you all that earlier.
Leinathen I'll do that as soon as I can, and once again I apologize for the delay.
Updated health accordingly. I totally forgot that phantom Je'grik healed us with every ounce of healing he had. My apologies.
Regardless, 2 smacks of Infernal healing wouldn't be half bad. As an LE, Dmitri tends to be indebted to his healers. It's half the reason that father Zastoran is still breathing, really.
Dmitri, you might want to check out the Pain Taster class again, as it seems to have been revised.
I'm guessing these Lizard guys can obviously see us?
You know, every time I look at that class, I'm *that* much closer to throwing away Antipaladin levels, haha.
They redid it swimmingly, I'll give them that. It's MUCH better than it was prior, and it was good then. The only issue is that Dmitri just honestly doesn't have the strength to be effective with it. Mind you he could VERY EASILY become an unstoppable juggernaught with it. Natural con increase, then +2 con after that? For only 2k? Forever? I'd give my charisma band up for that kind of monstrous health. Fortunately It's a belt that I need, haha. In 3 levels I could have a Con of 22, but that fifth Antipaladin level for the weapon enhancement (Or the summoning) is too good to pass on, I believe.
What do you think?
I don't think we're getting another year of time off any time soon, lol.
The problem is that you don't have any ranks in heal.
Also, you probably won't need to give anything up for the 2k. There's loot up here, and Dmitri gets a share.
And honestly, I've been thinking of dropping the requirement that you keep within the loot levels. I'll keep the spreadsheet, of course...It just makes things easier, but I dunno. The rules chafe.
I actually like the requirement. When I get my wish I'm either going to A: use it to become the Fighter/Pain Taster, or B: Change "Smite Good" to "Smite Everything"
I pictured Dmitri spontaneously spitting honey everywhere while he tried to say all of that.
Alright. So that didn't get us anywhere. Shall I open up combat, then? I'll take the one near the pot of fire. I figure the sizzle won't alert the rest of them if we're surrounded by fire. This hidden entrance is probably worth the effort. What do you guys say?
Also Lein should I roll for Intimidate, or would you be willing to use that nat 20 on the intimdate roll with my Mark showing up?
I'll let you use the nat 20 for an intimidate roll, though not without spending your actions in combat (if you're planning to engage hostilities right now). Also, please don't metagame by discussing whether you want to attack with your fellow players in the discussion thread :) If you want to make those sorts of decisions, you've gotta be able to discuss it freely IC, which you aren't currently capable of doing.
Well. I figure Dmitri is thinking similarly to me, lol. That said, we came in this place expecting to kill gnolls and anything that disagreed with us. These guys aren't going to budge, either, AND they did just mock me, and as a super prideful overzealous lawful evil character I don't have much choice but to kill them. Good thing I brought cold damage :D
I'm not sure if these guys have the native subtype yet, but I figure I have a second way to send them back if they don't~
This goes out to all my games.
The worst has happened. The event that I've being dreading has occured. I'll be unable to post as I deal with the loss of family, namely my mother. I'm sorry for the lack of posting lately and truly am sorry for springing this upon all of you.
I'll be back once things have settled down more.
All the best bud. My condolences. :)
I'm dreadfully sorry to hear that Brek. Take your time.
Oh, man. I'm so sorry, that's devastating.
My heart goes out to you. I am so sorry.
