TOZ's Assault on the Wound [PbP Gameday VI] (Inactive)

Game Master TriOmegaZero

Time to finish my Season 5 collection!

.

I'm interested. What's the level range?

Tier 3-7, Mass Combat rules. Bring Cha characters and your Mendevian Crusade medals.

Hmmm...my ideal character for that is busy, and will be level 8 by the time he's done with his current adventure.

I do have this character, though, who at least has Charisma.

I also have this character, who...doesn't have Charisma.

Interested, but none of my on-level characters are Charismatic.

I enjoy the hell out of this scenario, and I'd totally burn a GM Star to play it again if you find yourself needing another character. I have quite a few in-tier :)

Well, that's three. :) I'm open to pretty much any party, just be aware that the mass combat section of the scenario will replace your characters with the armies they lead.

Alright, I think I'm all leveled up and ready whenever you are! :)

ps - want me to do some word of mouth recruiting too?

I'd strongly prefer we have more than 3 before starting.

I very much agree. Wei Ji has offered to replay if we cannot drum up some more generals.

1. CanisCirus - Cleric7
2. Tarondor
3. I'm Hiding In Your Closet
4.
5.
6.

What tier are you folks looking at? I think I have one for both high and low but they are combat heavy guys with poor charisma.

Hi there, if you have room I have a 7th lvl magus that I would like to play. Let me know. I will update my toon shortly. Thanks

I'm seeing a number of 7s, so I'm comfortable with a high tier table. It's whatever you guess think you'll have fun with. Having a Cha bonus will make the mass combat section easier, but I think you can handle it either way.

1. CanisCirus - Cleric7
2. Tarondor
3. I'm Hiding In Your Closet
4. Batpony
5. Codar - Magus7
6.

I just enlisted the archer I mentioned in another game, so I've been whittled down to my Cleric, who's level 4. Will that be okay?

As long as you are comfortable with the party makeup. With the couple sevens, you may end up playing out of tier.

Batpony here, This guy just turned lv3, I'm keen on him as oppose to my lv 6 cha dump fighter.

If I used him, it'll bring out APL below 6, and based on the faction guide we should be playing high tier at 4 player adjustments which seems fair in this case. As oppose to APL above 6 in which the level 4 cleric might suffer. What you guys think?

Still have an opening?

Have a 5th level face if you need help in social checks (+22 Diplomacy, working towards Battle Herald)

Upper end
Zen Archer 6
Alchemist 6/Lore warden 1

Lower end
Bloodrager 3/ Brawler 1
Hunter 4 (flying Wayang)
Unchained Tengu rogue 3

That's a full roster there. Once we get a finalized party, I'll get things started.

1. CanisCirus - Cleric7
2. Tarondor
3. I'm Hiding In Your Closet
4. Batpony - Cleric/Fighter 3
5. Codar - Magus7
6. Ed

So making sure I am reading this right 2-7's (Cleric, Magus) a 3 (Cleric/Fighter), a 4 Cleric. Tarondor has a few options between 6-7 correct?

Cleric party! Interested to see how that'll play out.

I'm down for a cleric party. :)

Good thing I'm kind of an atypical Cleric.

Looks like we will be playing up. Anyone have a character with an 18 or better charisma? If not, then I will bring Lorian.

Gameplay thread is up, please dot in with your intended PC. I will try to post the opening briefing tonight or tomorrow.

@Lorian: I have a Charisma of 18, and intend to eventually make it higher still.

Cool, the more the merrier. Going to have to get a headband to get it to 18 but was planning on doing it anyways.

Briefing post is up!

Heal as Day Job: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21 I have a folio reroll I'll want to use on that if it isn't used on anything else.

Digging through the chronicles, I have access to the Horn of Aroden from my -2

Score!

So, I remember that the "Unique Army" boons can be from any of your characters, like the Horn of Aroden and Library of the Lion boons for Sovereign Court PCs...but do the Mendevian Commendations have to be for the PC you are playing or can those also be from any PC?

Took me a minute to find, but the Mendevian Commendations are actually for a very specific purpose.

Special: If any of your characters have earned the Mendevian

Commendation boon, increase this army’s Morale modifier by 1 for each such boon your characters possess (maximum 3).

So it counts for all your characters, but only if you are commanding the Mendevian Cavalry. (Think of it as them riding with your active PC.) Helpful, but if you can use the unique armies, I highly recommend them.

Sorry for the late response. I think the Society Field Agents as a good fighting force.

I was interested in those.

Since they are not unique armies, both of you can select them as your choice.

If it's cool I'll jump in late Canis Dirus invited. I have all the armies unlocked though everything I have in tier is low CHA. (I know that going in not overly worried, personally.)

Sounds good, jump in on the gameplay thread, grab your army, and we'll get going! Current APL is 5, so high tier either way.

To help me out, I've added a mass combat "statblock" to my character's profile page with all the relevant information. I think I did all the math right for it, but let me know if it's off at all.

Thanks again for letting me join in on this, TOZ! :)

Sorry for cutting it close, but may I swap my army out for Mendevian Warpriests?

That shouldn't be a problem since you haven't entered the battlefield and it doesn't change your initiative.

One of my characters helped procure the Horn of Aroden - does that help any?

Other than that, I have 2 Mendevian Commendations.

Iirc, the commendations give your army a cumulative +1 (max 3) to all morale checks, but only with the Mendevian cavalry or warpriest armies.

And since you are not Sovereign Court, you can't take command of the Army of Exploration.

Other than trying to overwhelm the units to the north first, any suggestions?

Someone will definitely want to help Ionnia against that northern force. Anyone that can't make it in time may want to maneuver towards the southern force. The unfortunate part of the mass combat rules is that skirmishes are finished in one day, so other armies generally can't come to the rescue if the tide turns against you.

I will be traveling to SkalCon tonight and will have a wonderful weekend of gaming taking up much of my time. I will do my best to respond today and tomorrow. CanisDirus pointed out that I missed the 4 player adjustment on this encounter, so I'll be updating the enemy armies to reflect that and removing the extra damage they inflicted as well.

Have fun in Minnesota, jealous over here. Make sure to meet HMM (I'm assuming she'll be there), and give her my best.

I had a wonderful time playing Ironbound Schism with HMM at GenCon, I can only imagine the shenanigans we'll get up to this weekend. Especially if she runs for my wayang cavalier!

Jealous here too of your being at Skalcon. One day, maybe I'll be able to get up there...
