Mystery of the Keepers (Inactive)

Game Master DireMerc

Razmir the man known as the living god is making his move expanding into neighboring nations. It seems nobody can stop him as his power truly seems to be that of a god. A select few know the secret of his power and are taking steps to end his rule with the help of another who wields the same power as Razmir. Sazed Khaim a member of the old order of the keepers.

Houserules:

Houserules:

Casting: When casting a spell defensivly if you fail you do not automaticly lose the spell, rather you provoke an attack as you normally would for not casting defensive. If you are hit you must make a concentration check dc 10+damage taken if you fail this check you lose the spell.

Rolls:
Many rolls will be handled by the GM in secret.(don't worry, I don't fudge.)
Any result that can influence the character behavior will not be rolled open.
Rolls that will be handled by the GM:
Perception
Sense Motive.

if you make the check I will send you a pm or make a post and put it in a spoiler depending on the situation.

Sometimes I will roll Initiative others I will ask you to roll depending on the situation. In some situation (rarely) I will bypass init entirely and have you all go first and enemies second or have enemies go first and you all go after.

Combat rules:
I'm a fair GM, I dont roll combat in secret, I don't change results, I don't ignore bad calls from the characters.
Sometimes, character dies, but I'm not a player killer, if I think that an encounter will be easy handled, when it should be more challenging, I will make it a more challenging, if the party it's not prepared to face something, I will drop hints, if they insist... well killing one or two players never made me lack sleep...

Actions:
I'm a GM that do not punish the character for trying something new or cool, or even strange. Visual appealing actions are encouraged, the dc will of course depend on what are you trying, but you can try! If what you want to do is wicked cool, I can even bend the game mechanics to allow it! The most importat part is: Everyone have fun.

Posting Rate
If it could be done, I expect 1/day posting, if you can post more, it will really good.
During weekend, this rule does not apply. If you are able to post, great! But dont stress over this, everyone need some time to rest (In my case, I need time to play and DM :D on my tabletop games).

Level up
Aside from character creation, when you level up, if you want something not from core rulebook, you'll need to search it inside the game. basicly what you need to do is just show in game your character is searching for that knowledge. This rule is not meant to prohibit anything, I just don't like something like this: "Character always as a full caster, never picked up a sword in his entire life, and then he gain a new level and says: Master, I'll level up as a fighter now..."

No UMD here I'm afraid. :-(


I considered giving a spell failure chance to both but decided against it since nothing else gives spell failure to divine.

The sword is an item of my own creation I wanted to make a magic eating sword without making it to broken. Its abilities are the following at the moment.

-spells cast on the user don't last very long (half duration)

-ignores half of magical bonuses to ac (mage armor gives +2 instead of +4)
but only for attacks made using that sword.

-when you strike someone with an active spell on them it has a chance to dispel a spell on them if there is one. (makes a dispel check at +5)

-arcane spell failure 20% (I might just drop this one)

other than that it's a +1 longsword that also has +1 damage against undead.

Your opponent is a creature called a rot mummy. A variant of the typical mummy. He wields a sword instead of slamming you so you don't get mummy rot but he also wears magical armor about evens out I think.

A typical rot mummy is a cr 5.

Devhyn, as far as I can tell, you are paralysed with fear. Remove paralysis won't work on that, only remove fear.

I guess I'll have to wait it out.

Feel free to grab stuff out my my frozen grip, if it'll help keep everyone alive!

My sword halves spell durations, hence less haste.


Remove paralysis would work but the staff cant cast that spell.

It can cast:
Cure serious wounds (1 charge)
Lesser restoration (1 charge)
Remove blindness/deafness (2 charges)
Remove disease (3 charges)

I saw that too, but it seemed superfluous to mention it.


Staves hold a maximum of 10 charges. Each spell cast from a staff consumes one or more charges. When a staff runs out of charges, it cannot be used until it is recharged. Each morning, when a spellcaster prepares spells or regains spell slots, he can also imbue one staff with a portion of his power so long as one or more of the spells cast by the staff is on his spell list and he is capable of casting at least one of the spells.

Imbuing a staff with this power restores one charge to the staff, but the caster must forgo one prepared spell or spell slot of a level equal to the highest-level spell cast by the staff. For example, a 9th-level wizard with a staff of fire could imbue the staff with one charge per day by using up one of his 4th-level spells. A staff cannot gain more than one charge per day and a caster cannot imbue more than one staff per day.

Breakdown of items and usefulness:

Ring and cloak: everyone could use either one, however, these are also some of the few items Achren and Bleyz could use without interfering with their character functionality.

Longsword: Lysander needs a melee weapon or Erik
could do the two longsword ranger-thingy

Chainmail: Lysander or Devyhn. Erik already has +1 breastplate (unless he wants to trade-out for encumberance reasons)


Male Professional Dosser 14/Rules Lawyer6

I already have AC21 with Mage Armour, so the ring could go to someone else. Having been hurt a few times after bad saves, I would like the Cloak, but I'm aware that everybody would probably want it.

Suggestions (take'm or leave'm):

Give the RING to Bleyz, it will bump up his AC. As a monk, he already has good saves.

Give the CLOAK to Achren, to improve his saves, and help him look more like SPAWN. ;-)

Sounds good.

I'm also happy to trade the breastplate for chainmail if someone else wants the extra dex bonus or lower carry weight.

Male Human Inquisitor of Pharasma 11 l AC 24 T 13 FF 21 l HP 54/69 l F +9* R +7* W +12* l Init +5 l Perc +17

I can use chainmail, since it is a Medium armor, but not Breastplate, which is a Heavy type.

I wasn't going to speak up until everyone had a chance to post.

Anyone know where Lysander's gotten to?


-19/73 hp, AC 20/13/18, initiative +2, fort +9, refl +11, will +8, perception +16 (+20 humans, +20 undead, +18 Evil outsiders), CMB +14, CMD:27/25, BAB +10, melee +14/+9, ranged +12/+7, Human Witchguard Ranger 9

Breastplate is nediun, if you want it.

Oops, you're correct.

Yeah, I'll take the breastplate if you want the chainmail.

That seems like a more efficient use of items.

I've adjusted Erik for the chainmail. The breastplate is yours.

I'm still here, just don't have much to report. Better armor would be nice, but I can't use medium armor, so there really isn't anything for me to take that wouldn't better serve someone else.

Having oral surgery tomorrow so might be a bit out of things... we'll see if I can post or not on whatever pain meds they give me, lol... I should be fine by saturday though.

OK, no potion of healing unfortunately, but this is the list:

-potion of Invisibility
-potion of eagle's splendor
-potion of fly
-wand of shield (44 charges)
-amulet of natural armor +1
-cloak of resistance +2
-headband of alluring charisma +2
-ring of protection +1

Am I right in thinking I am the only one who can use the wand? if that's so, and as I had the last Cloak of Resistance, I'm not due any of the rest (although I could use the +2 CHA if noone else wants it)

No objections to either of those if that's what you want, I can't use the wand and the headband, while it would make Bleyz more likable, isn't high on his 'want' list. Bleyz would be interested in the amulet, but there are others who get hit more often and for more damage, who probably need it more... so whatever, I'm easy with others picking first.

Do we have a consensus on divvying up the loot? apart from a couple of items, they can all be used by anyone.

and Bleyz is interested in the amulet or the cloak, but I think he's got relatively good AC and good saves, so will gladly let others pick those items first.

Erik has quite a lot of nice kit already, so others should take some. That said, the amulet, ring or cloak would all help.

What healing do we get for our rest?


You heal your level hit points and regain 1 point of ability loss for each stat that has been damaged. You also regain lost spells and daily abilities.

If I only healed my level in hit points, then I am still at -2 and unable to do anything until I rest another day.

Could I activate the staff if I am conscious, but disabled? At that point, I could try to patch up the party with the last couple of charges in the wand, and my own healing spells.
