Ah I didn't realize that there were differences between grapple and swallow whole. Geez my bad and thanks for pointing out.
Yup, no worries. I have no idea how a scimitar could possibly do slashing damage when using dervish dance, nor do I care to look.
I need to go downstairs and eat food instead.
I have no idea either, but rules are rules and I don't question them.
The reason about 1 min per level spell lasting multiple fights is that yes, Howard has a very powerful ability. Id rather he didn't solo the mod and leave you guys with nothing to do ^^
What's you turn Claude into anyway? No cast defensively?
Does Claude take damage while buffed? I don't know anything about Howard's build, personally.
He didn't specify he was casting defensively...
>.<
The ritual was in gameplay thread rather then discussion for a reason. There are things in there that may be needed to be referred to throughout book 3.
It's not stuff that Oh, We're just talking shop, so it doesn't matter.
That's ok! We'll just need him to tell you about his little problem =) As I said I encourage cooperation between the party! =D
Happy almost New year!
Its already been new year for 9 hours here =)
But again busy pushing plot...so I forgot about the niceties of conversation.
Don't mind me. I can be very...focused.
Awww....I don't party. Spent last night playing Hearthstone. Now since plot has been pushed...Happy New Year everyone!
Belated =)
But yeah once you have a kid...there goes your alone time as a couple.

I get that pathfinder isn't an interpretation of reality, I've come to accept that. I still enjoy making fun of it when it isn't really correct, though.
An epee is essentially a practice weapon for a smallsword, which technically evolved from rapiers, but is quite different. Here's a video with visual examples, if you're interested. Rapiers have about the same weight as most one handed weapons, which is about two and a half pounds.
Also, as my scimitar is a one handed weapon, I can't use it while swallowed.
So Epee = small sword = shortsword in pathfinder, which is why shortswords have only P for damage type? Previously I saw the word sword and mistook that shortswords did S and P damage.
And Rapier should have been S and P if it was trying to mimic reality?
Eh, just put the ingredients in a bowl, the people eating can figure it out later.
What ingredients? Uh...all of them, obviously.
I'm not sure what shortsword in pathfinder is supposed to mean, that's an extremely broad term. Everything from a gladius to a hangar to a katan could be called a shortsword.
Rapier is also kindof a slippery term, but what modern historians refer to as a rapier would be better represented by the rules if it could cut.
And also, sport fencing has gone away from it's roots. I used to be a sport fencer, and I can tell you that it is not representative of anything. If I wanted, I could probably deliver a fatal wound with a smallsword to just about anyone, but if it were a real duel, I'd also likely die in the process.
Here's what Historical European Martial Arts looks like. I myself will be able to start regularly attending classes when I finally get a car, which should be fun. I can say that my legs are stronger and I am therefore likely considerably faster than a lot of people doing HEMA right now, so sport fencing isn't totally useless. And I'm willing to bet I could walk into a lot of HEMA clubs and pick up whatever smallsword training device they had and do quite well with it.
Ultimately, if you want to do something practical, you should probably take boxing or wrestling classes.
I'm a little small to wrestle people =)
And really, you're going to slaughter Vooniths? =(
Feel free to join in or correct things if you like. I like history, and I like learning.
Pathfinder's whole weapon categorization is generally a bit odd, I've never understood why they don't just do a bit of research and overhaul it. Back when DnD was first made I can understand that there was less material out there, but these days it's not hard to do the research necessary to determine that 8 lbs is vastly too much for a one handed mace, for example.
Also, I don't know what Voonith are, but if they want to come in peace, they don't have to leave in pieces.
they want to come in peace, they don't have to leave in pieces.
*giggles*
I'm particularly fond of that line, you know.
I'll tell you if you want, you can have a good time discussing RL weaponry as you wish. Just don't expect me to apply it to Pathfinder.
I only apply the rules, I don't make them.
I suspect Leonard is American but for some reason, likes late nights.
I'm all about expediency...
Howard saw them. You can talk to them more if you wish. Feel free.
I am indeed American, more specifically of the United States. My time zone varies between eastern standard time and central time, it's currently 3:41 AM.
Also, I just found out in another game in which my character is underwater that longswords cannot be used to thrust. :(
Try this feat, or use weapon as improvised weapon.
That's about what I was thinking. Normally when people say longsword I assume late 14th early 15th century knightly weapons, which I think are most iconic. Oakshot type 17 with long blades and acute tips.
As a result of the rules, it's easier to use a mace with spikes on it than it is to use a longsword.
Edit: also, I vary between Maryland and Iowa. I was born in Baltimore, and go to college in Iowa, hence the frequent travelling.
Howard identifies the rusty scimitar as a +1 vorpal scimitar. Yes, I am not kidding.
What happens in Dreamlands stays in Dreamlands...well mostly ;)
shield companion is a level 1 spell.
You don't need a level 3 slot to prepare it.

Actually, there are two spells with the same name - this is the one I had seen
Hence, why I was using a 3rd level spell slot.
That said, I am more than happy to use the other version!
Also, Howard - how are you going to deal with Leonard's Night terrors. I know you're going to cast keep watch...but are you just going to slap the spell on him or..? :P
God...the entire Dreamlands is a lot of copy paste work on the GM...
There will be character development if Howard RPs it out with Leonard, I suspect.
Also, staying with my grandparents, expect slightly less frequent posting.
And I am, in fact, probably younger than you.
