Myrial, City of Rogues (Inactive)

Game Master Rynjin

Ummm, sure. What kind of job are y'all in the mood for?

Blackmail, but we never finished the last job. That elf seems to have interesting connections.

Gark's talking with me on ways to introduce his character. Going idea is he shows up with a job for you, and tags along to help.

So maybe he acts as part 2 of that job for the assassin elf guy?

I don't know, and it doe snot matter we will end doing a big mess of every situation

All right, let's see if we can't get this show on the road somewhat.

+1

Forgot to add in my spells for today . . .

Chimon prepared

• create water, detect magic, light, stabilize
• bless, command, command, longstrider (D), sanctuary
• bull's strength, calm emotions, enthrall, hold person, locate object (D)
• bestow curse, blindness/deafness, prayer (D), searing light

I don't think you can go after the guy with the club, Nicos. During surprise round he was invisible. During normal round he acts before you.

ah?

We got a surprise round, you and me. During this round, the guy with the club was invisible (Korak knew he was around, but couldn't see him).

I act, then you act on the surprise round.

Normal round begins.

Guy acts before you, so you can't target him... yet.

Oh, I completely forgot about Jo's turn. Sorry about that.

We need a methord to keep track the order of actions.

Well I told you it was a surprise round for both of you, and you didn't act for a couple of days. And I do have the "Initiative Order" spoiler.

I missed the surprise round thing and was expecting everyone else to act. I mean, keep tracking without actually going back searching for an specific post, like putting it into the campaing mini info (the one with "You've proven yourselves....").

Do the guy that do a lot of damag to korak used sneak attack?

Yes. He also has that one Feat that every character with Sneak Attack should have, no exceptions.

Pretty clever guy :)

To keep trak of the Hp ou could add it at the end of every combat post

Like,

Korak does this and say blah blah

Hp: 33/60

That's what the HP bar is supposed to be for.

That's what the HP bar is supposed to be for.

Putting it after the posts 8at least once helps to avoids any confusion.

Do this campaing allow retraining?

Yar, with the UCamp training rules.

I also have a general houserule/policy that you can, for free, instantly retrain any ability you've never used before (but it's locked forever in that case). I've been in a situation where I've picked a Feat, or Rogue Talent type thing that sounded cool before, but never actually had the opportunity to use it, and that's always disappointing.

In that case it is very likely that I will change arcane bond (Ring) for Arcane bond (familiar)

I'm worried about the party having a single character who is capable in melee... Chimmon has good defenses, but he doesn't have enough damage.

Any word from Byrdd? Maybe we should look for a 4th player?

I thought Byrd would be coming back fairly quickly, but it appears that may not be the case. Why don't you ask Scavion if he wants to make up a beatstick?

Maybe he can use that "Majin Bone" thing he was talking about.

Yeah I sort of rushed spell selection. I'll pick more damage-heavy ones after this adventure which will should help a bit.

perhaps summoning spells.

It's not really damage that's the problem (though that's part of it), it's the fact that only Korak is getting pounded on.

You need someone who can TAKE the damage, not just dish it out.

Hey I can take attacks. Not damage . . . but attacks!

That is why summon ins a good option.

Well... I plan on eventually grabbing the Summoner's Summon Monster (Or Summon Nature' Ally) SLA at higher levels, so that Korak ha more versatility at higher levels, because if by 11th level, all I can do is punch people, I'll be bored out of my mind.

And it also fits with his Animalistic Monk/Druid/Barbarian theme. :P

BTW, Rynjin... You said HP is average rounded up, does that mean Korak should get 7 HP every level instead of alternating 6 and 7?

Yes.

Yay, I got 3 HP! :D

That's 3.5 Toughness! LOL!

(Also, I get 6 HP per level, not 7).

All right, let's do a quick write-up of the Aegis, to see how it stacks up.

Full BaB: 6 points
D10 HD: 3 points
4+Int skills: 1 point
2 good saves: 3 points
Martial Weapons: 2 points
Light Armor: 1 point
Power Point pool: 3 points
Form Astral Suit: 5 points
Astral Repair: 1 point

Total 1st level: 25 points

Rest of class features:

Craftsman: 1 point
Damage Reduction: 3 points
Invigorating Suit (aka "Bonus Feat: Endurance"): 2 points
Reconfigure: N/A (bundled with Form Astral Suit)
Augment Suit: 3 points
Bonus Feat (Master Craftsman): 2 points
Cannibalize Suit: 1 point
Perfect Merger: 3 points

Customization Points upkeep 5th level: 3 points
Customization Points upkeep 10th level: 3 points
Customization Points upkeep 15th level: 3 points
Customization Points upkeep 20th level: 3 points

Total cost: 62 points

Hmmm.

So, ended up about halfway between the Fighter and Paladin, and the class abilities are roughly halfway between the two in power as well. I'm fine with it.

*Pats self on back*

Good eyeballin' Rynjin.

Go home to bed, dad Rynjin. You're drunk talking to yourself.

Good evening.

There are a lot of thing I do not undesrtand about that Build o_O

Ok, psionic.

Yup! Though really its super light on psionics. I just have a cool suit of armor.

Question: What's the situation of Slow Fall? Do I get it as part of the "Monk Training Package"? Is it a separate ability?

Also, since Divine Grace is so powerful, wouldn't it be a good idea to reduce the price of 3 good saves to 5pts instead of 6?

Hm. Perhaps, yes.

As for Slow Fall, is it not listed as part of the Physical package already?

Ah, no, I found it. Had it listed as a Secondary ability. Moved it to Tertiary.

So when do we kill some dragons mates?!

Preferably sudden ones.

Careful! SUDDEN Dragons are the most dangerous dragons... Especially if they are also Ghosts and part of the Spanish Inquisition.

So... Looking back, 3 good saves really should cost 5pts. A Bard with Cha 16 has the same Fort save as Korak. In fact, Jo has the same Fort save as RAGING Korak.

It's hard to justify getting 3 good saves when you can get Divine Grace/Unholy Resilience for half the price. I got them because it feels more "Monk-ish", but for a mechanical perspective, it doesn't really hold up.

(Also, technically, Divine Grace and Unholy Resiliency stack with each other, giving anyone uber saves for 6pts, so you might want to check that).

I suppose another possible "solution" would be to restrict Divine Grace/Unholy Resilience to characters who already have 2 or more good saves, but that feels restrictive and goes against the spirit of FFCS, IMHO.

What racket is that guy talking about?

The shouting followed by a loud flash of light, I'd imagine.

Is there a map? :)

Waiting for hte sense motive to take my standard action in the surprise round.

As a note, you've already acted in this Surprise round.
