Will post up tomorrow. Was going to today, but work and home got the better of me again.
Should come as no surprise, but I'm excited for Bestiary 6. Anyone else?
Gotta keep that cash money flowing baby! I was pretty impressed with how many of the Bestiary 5 creatures ended up being interesting. I'll admit, 80% of the reason I buy a bestiary is the art.
I was about to make a post, but it looks like the mythweavers crash reset my character sheet to an older version for some awful reason.
There's a new doggo race? Awesome, I might pick it up.
[pedant]*Nasal-y inhale* Achtually, kitsune are based off of foxes, which are not canines, but vulpines.[/pedant]
Reupdating Devic now. Why did I have to lose the character with the fiddly bits?
Am looking forward to finding a new concept I can play with with horrifying and hilarious results.
Just you wait :)
Kinda wish I didn't roll high enough. So I could stand there stupidly
I do believe you can intentionally fail a skill check. You know, if you want.
It's called the d'oh! Clause.
Welp good to know for next time

What are the odds I could make peace with the aliens by offering them a Dorito taco?

Honestly? I say throw Cheetohs at them.
You would blow their frigging minds out of their brain-holes.
I think we're ready to go on what ever is about to happen. I'm sure it'll be fine.
This message was copied and pasted to every game I'm involved in;
I will be making a trip out of the country for two months and will be unable to post for the flight. Will be able to post again and regularly once settled in. Sorry for any delay.
Damn cliffhangers! Have a safe trip!

No cliffhangers today, my friend.
So I checked yesterday. No posts. Check today, and there are posts from a few days ago. Weird.
Yea, Paizo got all f*+&y. I had to manually look at my games.
The horror *shudders*
It would seem that Paizo had a bit of a fart yesterday.
That awkward moment when you find a trait perfect for a character well after that character was made.
Also, I think we have enough votes for "get 'em ray!" to go for the captain, right? as long as we can get the info from the grays in the security room.
Something like that happens to me with every new book release.
By all means, you have the map. Should I just lead you to lead them?
Game has slowed down quite a bit. If everyone is still with me, I could probably kick it back up after a quick recruiting session, or if you would all want, we can put it on hiatus after this adventure.
Oh, I didnt know I got the way to the captain already, thought it was just the exit path.
As for the game, Im still very much into it myself. Kinda bummed Skjor vanished, but I dont want to go for a hiatus.
Edit: I'd be up for a recruitment, if a vote is needed.
i'm fine with whatever the group decides, i'm not going anywhere.
Then it will probably be recruitment. What niches do we need to fill?
Yeah, using my powers of GM deduction, I think you just downloaded the ship's schematics, every nook and cranny.
For a recruitment, I guess we could use pretty much anything that isn't direct damage, crafting or skills.
Unless we can get an absolutely sick appraise specialist.
There is the Artisan class. It's crafting is just bad@$$ and I love it.
Sorry for absence! Been out of home since the day before Memorial Day.
Will set up recruitment thread during inevitable boss whatever's in the captain's room.
So uh, the automatic gun rules are... interesting. I'm wondering about making one at some point in the near future.
Also, is that shield Devic cast earlier still up?
By all means, make one. With the monsters I've decided to expiriment in the future, you'll probably need all the firepower you can get.
What was the duration?
Four minutes. A minute is ten rounds in combat, but out of combat I feel like things get awkward to measure.
So, I'm wondering how you would rule these things GM. All in all it seems like they could be lame, or they could be cool, but I don't know how the rules on them function well enough to say. But if they are worth it, and I do make some, we could do this. And that's good.
1 and 3 I can't rule on, but 2 is very clear. Damage cannot be modified by precision damage(like sneak attack) or feats that increase the damage you deal(like Deadly or Weapon Specialization).

Sounds right to me. That's pretty close to what I was trying to say, but more coherent. So, the attack bonus from PBS would apply, but not the damage half? That sounds like what this means, but it feels weird. And precise shot sounds like it wouldn't work, because automatic weapons hit everything in a line which... sounds like a problem. If the target is really big, it shouldn't be a problem.
I wonder how ridiculous we could get with crafting
Don't go tempting me. :p
the wheels be turning....
Don't go tempting me. :p
Don't you go stealing my schtick. I've been waiting this whole time to make cool stuff.
Now if we were to work together...
Hmm, link is not showing, so I'm going to go off of what I see now,
I'll let you get pretty ridiculous, because if the heroes can have automatic weapons, it leaves the opportunity for a squad of hobgoblin maffia toughs with their alchemical tommyguns shooting through the windows.
In fact, I recall that during the recruitment thread, someone might have been talkin' nukes... .
As for its potential for being OP, a lot of that could be reduced by the modern setting's prevalence of ballistic armor.
It almost feels like there should be a feat for it, something like Hammer the Gap, (unless that fits perfectly into it already).

Second try to link the rules directly. Thing is that I'm not concerned automatic guns will be too powerful, exactly the opposite in fact.
1. The weapons attack everything in a line. Doesn't matter whose team you're on. For a party that's mostly melee, this is a slight issue. Also why I want to retrain Devic's Smoke Bomb discovery at some point.
2. Every attack roll with an automatic weapon eats a -2 to hit. Combined with targeting normal AC in this game in particular, and I don't think I'll be hitting much of anything really.
3. Hammer the Gap wouldn't work, it is a damage increasing feat. The base damage of something I would look to make would probably do 1d6, or 1d8 per shot. So each attack (each burst, if you will) would do 10d6 per shot. That looks like a lot, but when you factor in the above effects of the low chance to-hit, and the need to pick targets really carefully, it seems less impressive. Plus, that 10d6 averages to about 30, which gets less useful later on, when you consider DR. I'm also assuming the shots in the burst occur simultaneously enough for DR to only apply once per attack like normal. Points 2 and 3 are probably the easiest to get around, since there are PC's that would be more effective with automatic guns to than mine.
4. In fact, now that I look again, I can't think of any feats that really work with them. Half of Point-blank Shot? Weapon Focus? This makes me wonder if the rulesspeak called out vital strike along with precision damage in particular since those damage dice do get crazy in that case. Otherwise you need a base number of 0 feats invested in these complex weapons, and your good.
Those are my thoughts anyway. Any comments anyone?
I hadn't really realized how much DR would really mess those weapons up, I'm going to assume Clustered shot just won't work with automatic weapons?
Explains Superman at least.
Actually, it looks to me like Clustered Shots will be one of the few feats that helps. Because thats how automatic weapons work. For reasons.
So sorry for absence! For the life of me, I wasn't able to open Paizo at home (the rest of the internet works like a charm). Am at coffeehouse now and it's working like a charm.
DR and auto weapons remind me of my earliy attempts to use baby Yoshi against monsters with high defense in Paper Mario 2.
If you want to take the risk/reward of the auto weapon with Clustered-Shots, I see no reason why not to let that happen.
Will open up recruitment thread soon. Will luckily be away from my home's spotty internet and within a block of my favorite coffeehouse for the next six-or-so days.
yeah paizo's been wonky lately
Yeah, I've had perfect access on my phone, and only my phone. No comp. Capability.
If thats how the automatic weapons work, then I'll have to give them a pass. Itll just be frustrating with Devic. If anyone else would like to pick up a couple feats to give it a try since the higher damage die from a medium creature will definitely help, I'm still open for commissions.
Yeah, for a few days Paizo just wouldn't work for me at all.
