Posting this in all the games I am running.
I just recently stopped running a game after a player got belligerent when something didnt go their way and the dice rolls were done off screen, despite off screen rolls going their way in the past.
I wanted to make sure I am clear that I DO roll some things off screen for various reasons. I do not post modifiers to anything other than damage. I expect my players to trust that I will not screw them over. If I make a mistake on the rules I support and encourage being corrected, but when I make a ruling, that is the ruling. Being rude to myself or any of your fellow players will not be tolerated. Period.
Finally the game is NOT easy mode. If you play foolishly you have a great shot at dying, I will be playing the enemies intelligently and they will do their best to slaughter you.
I am looking forward to finishing up this AP with all of you! Sorry for the rant.

Not a rant. Restating established parameters. The obligatory annual training of policy that everyone is supposed to follow, ie food safety, hazmat refresher, civil rights, nondiscrimination and harrassment, cpr etc.

As a side note, a much mourned PC died a ignominious death by poor judgment followed by two natural 1's. I learned my lesson yet upon reflection still had fun.

I don't think you could get rhino hide made of a special material, but you might be able to increase that +2 bonus to a +3 or more. I'm not 100% sure, but it seems logical.
For ease of play, a masterwork item can always be upgraded to a +1 item without paying for the masterwork cost again. Instead, you pay the difference between the cost of the +1 item and that of the masterwork item. This rule also applies to upgrading from a +1 item to a +2 item and so on—you never have to repay the original cost or sell your current item for half to upgrade to the next step. Note that this only applies to items of the same kind—you can’t, for example, turn your masterwork rapier into a +1 greatsword. A mundane item can not be upgraded to masterwork, nor can nonmagical aspects of equipment be upgraded (such as the strength rating on a composite bow).

Well that was fun watching. No EP but more backstory and a little foreshadowing. I daresay Hippa's evening was, um, more interesting.

I have annual training for the National Guard starting tomorrow. I will be unavailable for the next two weeks. If I get a chance I will post, but I do not expect to have service or power to charge my phone. I will be back the 16th.

Sorry folks. Just got a new job. Scrambling to get qualified/certified asap. Looking forward to paychecks again. My rainy day fund really came in handy but i cut out a lot of stuff to stretch it out. Recently started doing min payments on bills. First luxury will be resubscribing to piazo after bills are zeroed out. Out of work sucks and temp day jobs (concrete laborer) were back breaking but necessary to keep food on table.
On a related note, my postings will be after midnight EST or late morning. Also i will resume daily postings, even if fluff.

Heads up that I'm likely to have few if any updates until Tue Aug 19 or Wed Aug 20 due to
1. Important pitch this week
2. Losing several days to Gen Con (every slot is full)
3. Taking my oldest off to college
Always a chance I'll slip a post in here or there, but please GMPC me as needed to keep things moving.
| Hippa |
Better alert my schedule as well. 16&17 will be downtime for me. Daughter checking in to college also. Going to be hectic weekend for us.
| Hippa |
Didnt expect anything. Just hippa trying to be proactive and not a burden. Establishing hard won RP habits. In other news, i missed the multiple highway shutdown due to extreme flooding in detroit by a couple of hours. Got released from training early. Otherwise i'd be in my car or a best western tonight or still weaving thru unflood neighborhoods. Wonder how many roads will be open tmorrow?

an alchemical item in the new ACG might be worth knowing about
HOLY WEAPON BALM PRICE 30 GP
WEIGHT 1/2 lb.
This violet balm comes in a small ceramic pot. When applied to
a weapon as a standard action, it forms a transparent coating.
Weapons coated in this balm deal an additional 2d4 points of
damage to undead or evil outsiders. A creature affected by the
balm must succeed at a DC 10 Reflex save or take an additional
1d4 points of damage the following round. Any nonmagical
weapon coated with the balm affects incorporeal undead or
evil outsiders as if it were a magic weapon. Any magic weapon
coated with the balm affects incorporeal undead or evil outsiders
as if the weapon had the ghost touch special ability. The balm
remains effective until you make a successful attack with the
weapon or until 1 minute has passed, whichever is sooner. Each
dose of balm can coat one weapon or 10 pieces of ammunition.

Ok folks I am back and ready to post!

MiniGM,
Sidebar request...
Does Detect Magic require vision? ie if Hippa can detect magic to see auras, is it really vision if she can detect (penetrate)through solid objects or even darkness. She could detect the presence of auras. This is one way of being useful, she could direct the action if she sees faint/moderate/etc aura locations. Like say the center(target) of the darkness spell.
Sidebar#2
If a bag or container can "contain" a light spell, would the same happen to the darkness spell.
| Hippa |
OK. That first question adjusts Hippa's actions. Thank you.
As for the second: Lets say I cast a light spell on a coin. Place it within a scroll tube. No light escapes except when I want it to. Would the same apply to the darkness? Keep the darkness from spilling out? Does Darkness emanate like light, absorb light or ... Perhaps this is the wrong forum thread.... But you get my drift I hope.

Go team go! mostly just posted so everyone is aware I am indeed still watching ... well as much as a bleeding to death, egotistical, self loving Noble can be watching
| Hippa |
FYI: This weekend I am going offline. If I find a Wi-Fi, I'll check in; otherwise see ya Monday morning.
Hippa is out of cure spells but has DetectMagic, Ghost Sound, Light. Also one use of ArcaneMark and Message.

so out of curiosity, if We manage to survive to the point where we get class levels what is everyone thinking of going into?
At the way im playing Tramtris I can see a few different paths, though goodness knows I doubt he would stick to any of them.
| Hippa |
Not sure if Hippa would prefer any one deity over another. So declaring a favorite is not likely considering her continued outreach to the community. And now she has tieflings to consider; well, she always did but she doesn't want to dig up old memories and soiled her husband's name...

I was thinking of having tramtris dabble in a bit of wizardry and fighter dom, Its why i gave him the magical talent trait. Though i was also thinking how angry he seems to get and how quickly he rushes into combat that barbarian is apripriate *lawls*Just not sure where to go with it.
And theoretically, You could be a cleric of a divine concept. I mean heck its in the PHB under like role. Be a cleric of Community or something of the like.
| Hippa |
Genius! I like it and it fits. I am thinking domains protection and restoration fits her well. She'll continue to add languages to support this. It woulb be similiar to a military chaplain who is required to be coversant in a variety of religous practices to support all flavors of faith or none of the unit they are attached to.

Bard seems like a natural for Audi, but skald might also be an interesting possibility given the presence of both Tram and Brannock. I'd originally been thinking something along the lines of inquisitor or cleric of Cayden Cailean. Definitely going to require some more thought.
