Nameless GM's Assault on Dragon Keep (Inactive)

Game Master SinBlade06

Hey guys, sorry for the very late post. Had a huge day at work today. I think I have calculated those attack/damage rolls out but let me know if there is something I should change and I'll either edit the post or reroll.

Those rolls I think are a little off.

For a ranged attack you roll your BAB + Dex mod. For you that would be a total of +7.

If you had Point Blank Shot it would be an extra +1 within 30ft.

So when you rolled a 4 and add 7 you get a total of 11.

And for damage for that bow specifically you add your Str mod to damage as well. So it would be 1d8+5.

Also, I am moving into a new place on Sunday. I am calling the internet people Thursday to set up service so if Myself and nameless fall off the face of the earth you know that it is just us waiting on the internet people to come by and set up our stuff.

No problem. I'll fix up my rolls this time. Also I'm from Australia and I'm GMT+10 so if you guys are doing some attack rounds and you're waiting on me, absolutely feel free to do my attack rolls for me. If they're at range I'm going to shoot arrows, if they get close I'll drop the bow and use my greatsword. Keeping it simple while I get the hang of things so there is no reason why you can't do my attack rolls if it is otherwise holding up progress.

But only if you want to of course. I'll be able to post at least once per day either way, but I can't promise it'll be around the same time as everyone else.

Quinn, you're rolling your To Hit all wrong.

When you roll to hit, all you roll is your BAB and your Str mod. On your character sheet it has Melee Attack Bonus and Ranged Attack Bonus. That has done all the math for you. Since your greatsword is Masterwork you get another +1 to hit.

Your total To Hit with your greatsword is a +11 normally. You're rolling your BAB and Str twice. Also your damage is wrong, but in a good way. Since you use a Greatsword with two hands you add your Str at 1 1/2 rounded down, so your damage total is 2d6+9.

And since you rolled a 19 on the dice, that's a crit chance. I'll roll to confirm for you.

Sorry GM. Trying to get the hang of it.

So my To Hit is never a dice roll? Just a static number?

Your to hit is a static number that augments a d20 roll. Same with skills the number you have in a skill (total not just ranks) augments the d20 roll.

The numbers can change depending on each situation, like for instance any armor better than Leather has an Armor Check Penalty (ACP) which means that all Dex and Str based skills take whatever number is there and add it to their existing total. For instance a Chain Shirt has an ACP of -2. For every Dex and Str based skill (Acrobatics(Dex), Climb(Str), Disable Device(Dex), Escape Artist(Dex), Fly(Dex), Ride(Dex), Sleight of Hand(Dex), Stealth(Dex), and Swim(Str)) add -2 to their total scores. So someone with a Dex of 18(+4 to ability scores tied to this ability) and no ranks in Stealth would have a total Stealth modifier of +2.

A good program to help with getting the right to hit and such is PCgen. It lets you build your character, and gives you everyhing in a nifty little sheet. It is free to use and I think has ultimate magic and a few other books in it. They update it frequently with the new books.

Smokey, ahh ok, thanks. I was wondering where ACP came into it.

Sindra, really? I was having trouble with it. Whenever I made a character my skill points all came out as negative values. I'll give it another go, maybe I missed something.

not sure why it would do that. Myself and nameless have been using that for our characters since Hero Labs cost a lot of money.

I'll give it a reinstall and try again.

Am I able to pick up my bow and attack again or does picking up the bow take a turn by itself?

Looking at Sevence...I can not help but hear him with The voice of Knight Lautrec of Carim from Dark Souls. I wish I did not have to kill the poor fool.

Based on the dialogue I read it with Ian McKellen's theatrical voice (starts at 2:15).

I was still hearing this guys voice at mark 4:43

That seems accurate.

What part of "end of story" did you idiots not understa--!! Well.....I do like the Ian McKellen vid. And I've been meaning to get into the Journeyquest scene. Honestly his voice is closer to Sir Osric than anyone else's.

Should I wait for you to tell me what is in the tavern or should I write what I encounter inside?

Poke. Will someone say something to the Gatekeeper?

Did we lose smokey?

I'm here... I just haven't known when to chime in...

Any time is a good time!

Gm needs to post more often

Taking a level in shadow dancer, as well as putting a point into linguistics to take the language orc.

hd: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 1 = 8

I will take average HP, take another level in alchemist and get the grease bomb discovery. I will also take a point in linguistics and get Giant because why not?

I will also take a point in linguistics and get Giant because why not?

Because there is no encounter or chance for you to speak Giant? :P

You will encounter Orc, Dwarven, Common, Draconic, and just for fun we'll throw in a language of the Undead (Necric) and the language of arcane magic(Arcanic). If you're casting an arcane spell, you'll speak in this language, even if you don't know it. Kinda like you've heard some French and you can hold a slight conversation. Arcane casters have this as a bonus language, even you Sindra.

Divine casters speak in their own language, ie Sevence would cast in Common, while a half-Orc Cleric would cast in Orc.

okay then I'll get orc...

Sorry Quinn, but you don't get another will save yet. We can keep that roll though. Sevence isn't close enough to you for that extra +4, but a 17 is enough. You're still shaken, but only for a little bit.

Also, when you leveled up, your health and any daily abilities were refilled. Make sure your health is ready.

Ah, I'll fix that up when I get a chance. Thanks.

Merry Christmas gamers!

As my present to you, I present you with a set of loaded dice(kinda)!

In this game, you now have one(1) automatic 20 to any one roll. This cannot be used to cover a roll in the past, but any roll from now on can be replaced with an automatic 20. You only get one, so use it wisely!

Also, poke.

Merry Christmas and thank you for the generous gift!

I present to you an internet cookie, edible once people are able to enter the internet.

Merry Christmas guys! Thanks for the autoroll :D

Time management has never been one of my strong suits and life is making me do a lot of work (for me) at this time and will probably continue until early winter... I regret to say this but I will have to resign from all of my PbP's, not just this one.

Sorry to lose you Smokey, but life comes first.

Indeedy!

We still on this?

Should be, I keep yelling at GM to post. If he does not in a few days I will do one for you all.

All good. It's a small group and yet we have come far. I'm happy to plod along at a slow pace, but I'd like to finish the tale if we may.

message from the gm:

Okay, due to circumstances beyond my control, I'm afraid I won't be able to post very often.

My computer's hard drive failed on me, & I am unable to access any of my campaigns except through my phone.

I'm sorry to say, but unfortunately, until further notice, I will not be able to post.

When I can, I will definitely try to post, but don't expect it too often. When I do post, I will try to get as much covered in a single post as I can.

Wish me luck. I hope I will be able to get back to full posting capabilities in the near future.

When I come back, I will make sure you get the best items, the best story, and an arsenal of weapons that any warrior would be jealous of.

No problems. Tell him not to worry, all is well.
