2)What do catfolk classrooms look like?
We're very modern. They're large, flexible, active-learning spaces with with lots of big cushions you can move around for lectures, group work, etc.

Sorry for being absent this weekend... Two games on Saturday (one player, one GM) and then another on Sunday (GMing the Shattered Star AP) took all my time.
So, to answer the issues at hand...
1. No real world feelings are hurt (to my knowledge), just some concerns about where characters and party are going. Biggest issue of it was the realization that I as GM failed to ask more questions with Alex and what the character was about. We discussed privately, and I think we still have some more, and I still plan on trying to kill all of you.
2. Catfolk Assassin School? Does the Red Mantis know about this school? Are they rivals? During homecoming did you go and steal their giant mantis mascot? (the more I think of this last joke the funnier it seems to me and while I prefer a little more serious "story" this may have become part of it, thank you)
Sorry all, in the midst of wicked flu here. I will try to post something later today.

So I've been looking on how I will level up going forward, just doing test builds and stuff, and one of the problems that I keep running into is being able to get off the ground. Once I reach level 7 I can fly but at a -8. The armor that I am getting, Soothsayers Raiment, is another -5 which is a long hill to climb up. True, I do get 7 ranks and it is a class skill and I my dex score will be 12 by then so we are at -2 so I might have trouble hitting those DC 15 checks. The part that really gets me worried is that if I fail the check by 5 or more I fall to the ground since I am using wings.
Since I dislike the idea of falling to the ground and dying does anyone have an idea on how I can boost my fly skill without drinking a fly potions? (or other methods that just give me the fly ability, whats the point in having wings if I don't use them?)

Alex,
To start their are some obvious solutions. Feats for one, Skill Focus and Acrobatics grant good bonuses, and at 10th level should grant a total of a +10 bonus. Hover is another feat that may make it unnecessary to make certain checks. There is a feat called Graceful Flyer as well that will increase manueverability, but it requires Skill Focus and light armor (see below).
Another aspect is to balance out the focus more. Less STR and CHA, keep the DEX a little higher. Use a belt to add to DEX, or if you still want to focus more on STR use ioun stones.
Speaking of ioun stones, there are cracked stones that cost 200 gold and add +1 circumstance bonus to a DEX-based skill. That is a great option in my opinion. (Of note for others... They do not stack but each stone can apply to a different skill. Great way to expand skills. Surround yourself with a haze of stones!)
And last is for more custom items. This is not PFS. The Soothsayers Raiment in the book is +1 chainmail. There is no reason I can think of that this would not be allowed to apply to a +1 chain shirt (at slightly reduced price, though not much). Or it could apply to a +1 mithral breastplate (at a significantly increased cost).
Beyond these things I don't see much else that would help. Anyone else have ideas? Harmini, you'v studied the flying rules better, maybe you found something to help.

Flying is tricky if you actually follow the rules in the CORE book. One of the more difficult things to note is that you can't actually put ranks in the Fly skill without a natural or "reliable" method of flight.
"You cannot take ranks in this skill without a natural means of flight or gliding. Creatures can also take ranks in Fly if they possess a reliable means of flying every day (either through a spell or other special ability)."
Otherwise, the GMs suggestions are all valid. I intend to take the Flight hex with Harmini at 5th level. Overall, it's really more of a utility than anything meant to be used "constantly".
The Dragon Mystery specifically changes the rules on gain fly ranks, but it is the exception to the rule.
Also, anyone hear from Chui? I hope all is well.
I'm mostly back in operation. I'll be posting to Gameplay shortly.

If Bambara and I are looking for a way for the Ghoran to have children, what are we looking for? Are we looking for something that allows them to pollinate which would make them more plant-like or is the idea to grant the Ghoran the ability to give birth? What are Bambara's thoughts on this?
I know this day would come. Bambara and Alex need to sit down and discuss the birds and the bees. Or maybe it should be Chui?
Also, this now gives me an idea for this. I never thought it would come up as a serious element of the AP but it could actually fit. !@#$, how in the !@#$ is the story of a ghoran trying to learn how to spawn actually turning into a subplot of this game?
OMG YES
Pollenation ftw
Chui offers his expert opinion ....
Well, first the stamen has to get gametophyte very, very drunk.
Ohhhhhh pretty
Bill, please check your email for an important email about the Quest for Roman's Mom. This also affects you Jeremy as you're currently signed up for it.
Basically, I can only GM during the 4:30-9:30 pm time slot on Saturday, not all day as we had originally planned.

I do not have an email. Or was I not on the list? Also, does this mean it will not be happening or is it just delayed?
Sorry, Jeremy, I should have emailed you. I will fix that now.
Still no power here, will be going to public library later this morning
Can Ghorans drink with their feet? Is that a ride question to ask in public?
Does the group know about Babs or do we just guess that Chui must have a lady friend?
I would think you know about Babs (unless Jeremy has a reason to rule otherwise). I suspect Chui talks about sex a lot but without naming names, along the lines of ...
Pro tip, check the ceiling attachments before putting three or more in the sex swing.
So what are you kids getting up to down there?Talking to ghosts that came out of a magic ring. You know, normal stuff.
Also one of my previous questions should be "Is it a rude question to ask if Ghorans drink with their feet.
Damn it Alex! I'm a gigolo not a botanist!
Teamwork feats for bam and chui?
Teamwork feats for bam and chui?
I know that I was all "Yeah, that's a great idea on Saturday." However, I had forgotten my build plan for Chui. Currently, he's going to take a dip of Monk (martial artist) at 3rd level so he can get Improved Unarmed Strike for free along with Weapon Focus (claws) as his 3rd level feat, followed by Feral Combat Training (claws) at 5th level.
The overall goal is to enable Chui to use monk-like style feats with his natural attacks, and this is a really feat intensive plan. At least for the next few levels, there isn't any room for teamwork feats. However, a more teamwork friendly alternative build could be possible, and I'll look into that.

Oh yeah, Feral Combat Training is great by itself and opens up a bunch of fun and (if you’re a monster) terrifying options moving forward. The feat tax is a pain to get through, but at least every part of the chain is a upgrade and a level of monk is also a fun splash. I know you can sneak attack and flurry, but can you also bite while flurring?

So I was looking around at my future feats and stuff and I noticed something. Soothsayer Radiment doesn’t say say that you need to be a certain level to gain access to a revelation. This item differs from the ring of revelation, which specifically says that you need to be the appropriate level. Long story short, I am trying to get off the ground sooner rather than later, later being 4 years from now. It is a lot for nothing, so if we house rule it so I need to make a UMD check to use the armor inthis fashion similarly to the Ring of Revelation, I would except that. I won’t be doing this as soon as I go back to town, I’m not ready. Not yet. What do you think?

Also since an Aasimar is a monster I realized that I don’t need as many feats as I thought. I can bypass everything I thought I needed and get multiattck at 11 and snatch at 13. With this bit of freedom I can open it up for teamwork feat. Since Bambara and I are going Friendship to the Max!, I can team up with you. What is Bambara thinking teamwork feat-wise?
Pack attack outflank paired oppertunist if we can tak advantage of aoo
Also lookout might be handy.
When and what size dragon will u be
|

Perfect! When I get my tail at level 3, this will be amazing as it opens up more AoOs for me and I can eventually get a free trip with it. Is there anyway we can be next to each other and still flanking? That would be ideal. Also when I become large at level 13. ( not huge, sadly) do you want to saddle me up and ride me? That could be a great way to maximize our teamwork stuff.
Dragons are a sutible mount if im not mistaken
I do think the saddle will take far too long to put on in combat
Gang up could do the flank from anywhere trick but requires combat expertice
Though dirty fighting could be a boon and it counts as CE for prereqs
|
|
That could be good. But if you and I are supposed to be to good guys, I don’t know if dirty fighting fits that. We would need to rename it to something else. Righteous struggle, desperate engagement. Something like that.
I know that lvl 13 is too far along for mounted combat, but let’s get a saddle anyway. Let’s have an angry potted plant riding a dragon murdering mummies in masks.
Sounds good to me. I will want iron will at some point
So start the greatest tag team at lvl 5 with broken wing gambit? 7 paired oppertunists? And pack attack or outflank at 9?
