Ongoing PFS campaign. (Inactive)

Game Master Chyrone

Sorry, worked 14 hours last night for store inventory... posting now and hopefully my dice are as good as yours were for me GM ;)

If the other guys are dominated do they get another save commands not in their nature? (Attacking other Pathfinders)?

That's what you guys were rolling willsaves for earler on.
1 to resist being dominated, 2nd to resist the command to attack others.

Now, i'd like to ask, before continuing.

Dr. Zephyr's tossing bombs at Sele, with 3 friendlies (Vassago included) in harm's way. Why risk harming your fellow cultists?

With an int of 27, you're certainly the sharpest knife in the box.

GM Chyro...are you familiar with the legal concept of 'entrapment'?

Had to look it up, it sounded familiar.
I've heard of federal agents (posing as a minor) luring offenders into a meeting, then arresting them.

Plenty of English words i'm not totally familiar with, after all.

People generally avoid friendly fire, is what i'm hinting at.

Sele, i had tracked it, actually.

I, too, was attempting to hint at something. Failing that, though....

I'm an Alchemist. What else would I do?

As a matter of fact, I'm a Chaotic Neutral Alchemist.

Save robin hood didn't use grenades with that motto. :)

Smart people fight smart, i reckon.
Anyway, both rooms will probably be done shortly.

As to what else.... pick up precise bombs?

LOh when cast via Hero's defiance gains an extra d6 healing, but you hadn't noted it anywhere I could see it.

It's noted above.

2d6 from temp lvl 5, the extra 3rd d6 in the calc is hero's defiance.

ah yes.. I so love level drain... foolish mechanic that there are very little solutions for..

lvl 5 is 3d6, +1 so 4d6 should be applied, not the 5d6 that I rolled though.

Not exactly.

LoH says 1d6 is healed for every 2 levels the paladin possesses.
I thought so too, initially, as i play a gnome pally in an AP.

At effective lvl 5, just 2d6 (+ fey foundling bonuses)

In regards to the immediate spellcasting, would you like to cast defensively to avoid aoo, with risk of it failing, or will you trust your AC to do the job?

That's just s%#! wording which inevitably causes confusion ... I hate stupid stuff like that.

Just a question to help with my upcoming turn. Is Harlis able to move under the table and get cover from the folk around it because of that? The map even suggests there aren't any chairs tucked under it currently.

Sele, as actions depend on it, defensive or trust the AC?

Of course, there is the following from [url]http://legacy.aonprd.com/coreRulebook/magic.html[/url]

Casting Time - "Casting a spell with a casting time of 1 swift action doesn't provoke attacks of opportunity"

Combined with [url]http://legacy.aonprd.com/coreRulebook/combat.html[/url]

Immediate Actions - "Using an immediate action on your turn is the same as using a swift action and counts as your swift action for that turn." giving swifts and immediate equivalency.

Also, Feather Fall is called out as an example of immediate action that doesn't provoke.

Oh. All the better.

Sele, yes those vamps dominated half the boys into fighting you.
However, those two vamps are not in their best physical state either.

When they are not around (too busted to fight), they won't be able to make Vassago and Dr. Zephyr attack you, leaving just a general command in effect.

Which, i reckon, could be open for interpretation, as long as it goes along with that command.

And, oh i dunno, Harlis' bag of tricks isn't empty just yet.

@GM Actually I was looking more for a crouched move instead of a crawl as Harlis is a halfling. Yes, I am trying to get into position to swing the tide. But off his steed he is slow and the room has too many enemies so it is taking a couple of rounds.

@ Dr. Zephyr,

I've done lots of saving throws throughout games to speed things up, both good and less so results.
Though you're quite right on dicebot not performing well so far in this combat.

Let's go with this,
Current effects as they are. Vassago's got a pending throw to shake off domination, and Harlis has a regular PfE on his profile, effectively another re-roll for you?

Enora still has images Charito has to get through.

I'll just roll saves if it would matter for enemy actions, or after the usual 24 hours.

I actually can pull out 2 PfE using my pearl of power, but that process is painful in a combat.

I'm a bit confused; am I free now, or not?

Atm still under team cultist's influence.

I'm still not sure that's fair, especially given Sele's corroboration of my observation; I didn't ask for you to roll my saving throw for me, nor did you even give me a chance to make my own; it would have been different had there been too long a window, which does happen with me, but I don't think it did that time. I don't normally put up this much of a fuss, you understand, but I'm starting to feel like it's gone far enough.

Far enough, as in the dicebot not performing adequately?
I'm not disputing those results, and i've said i further refrain from making your rolls unless either of forementioned things would happen.

As i said before, i've done lots of saves for others, often to speed things up, heck even saves of some of my PCs were done by the GM.

As in the dice performing...too weirdly in your E-hands for two players (who I think are often of different minds about things otherwise) not to notice.

Since you agree to change going forward, though, I'll call that a compromise.

I also think it would be fair if you'd let me keep that roll I made after your failed one.

probably going to need an accounting of Seles damage.. he came into the fight only down 5 hit points from the furnace.

He seems to only have taken about 30 damage including the level drain neg hit points...

So how did he take over 55 hit points damage?

Spoilering here.

GM, this is a very complicated encounter! Thanks for keeping everything so organised!

As much as possible, at least.

Over the years, i've learned more about various stuff being in the GM seat than as a player.
Granted, i'm fortunate to have had regulars that point me towards misses and rulings over the course of those years.
With the occasional other people throughout the games.

(looks sideways at the paladin & ifrit)

Yeah.. I thought it wasn't as organised as you usually were as you didn't keep Sele up to date and I really couldn't keep track of his damage, I tried again just then and I'm still not sure where you got your numbers from.. your numbers do seem reasonable, I just can't track down all the where's and what's...

I missed one of the Zephyr bombs... good to see I get done over by a pc not the enemy..

Part of my issue of being sorta sporadic with this adventure... and trying not to metagame too much. I only thought of this actually as I was preparing another adventure and went oh *!^% in my head.

Isn’t Zephyrus still unfriendly? I was waiting for him...

I was waiting for you...:P

GM? Im happy to go first, especially if I need to free Zephyrus.

Have a go at it, sir halfling.

If only Concentration checks were an ability check I'd have made that using adaptable luck. :(

For what it's worth, it was a very long time before I gave in and bought a folio for the reroll - since then, though, it's proved worth it.

Like putting extra quarters in an arcade game....

I hate to say it but doesn't kineticist healing deliver burn to the target?

It does. 1 NL per PC lvl who received it, which only goes away after a proper night's rest.

Sorry, forgot to mention I wanted to use my Internal buffer to eat the burn since I know Sele can't take much (and usually when I post for kinetic heals, I state the burn damage) It isn't a true negative level as it doesn't apply any penalties and doesn't get you killed when stacked with real negative levels, just for the sake of noting the nonlethal damage. The kineticist can always take the burn when using kinetic healer, although my archetype doesn't allow me to take burn, thus the need for Internal Buffer.

Vassago, internal buffer does mention:

The buffer starts empty and doesn’t replenish each day, but the kineticist can accept 1 point of burn to add 1 point to the buffer as a full-round action

That prevents you from using the buffer, wouldn't it?

Sorry, I called it the wrong thing as it gets changed in the archetype.

For the Overwhelming Soul that can't accept burn, they get an ability called Mental Prowess that allows me to ignore 1 burn for any wild talent 1/day (and does slowly scale up with level). It is the only way I can allow Kinetic Healer to work on myself or use it on someone else without forcing their burn.

Hi guys, I will be on vacation for the next 10 days so please bot me as needed.

Thanks

Dr. Zephyr, aside from dominated, are there any other magical buffs active on you? I don't recall.

Not at the moment, evidently.

I'll be away from the 16th to the 22nd bot me as needed. I will have some limited phone internet.

I'm unclear; does hit point healing heal ALL of someone's nonlethal damage, or just an equivalent amount? I've heard both.

Equivalent of both, so if you have 10 NL damage and 12 lethal damage and you get healed for 8, you'd have 2 NL damage and 4 lethal damage remaining.
