Pirate 5-06 Have What you Hold PbP GD VI (Inactive)

Game Master Pirate Rob

Yarrr

Discussion goes here.

I'm going to be in England from August 16th-30th and then at Pacificon over Labor Day weekend. I can manage to play while travelling but I need my desktop to GM, thus the late start on Tuesday the 5th.

When convenient:

Player Name:
Character Name:
PFS Number:
Faction:
Day job:

Also, when you get a chance can you fill in an initiative line and add a copy of your "mini" to page 1 of the slides

We should have Psychic 5, Cleric 3, Bard 3, Fighter 5 and Ranger 4, putting us exactly at APL 4. If people want to swap around characters that's fine, I concern my recruitment much more with players in mind over characters.

Also feel free to introduce your characters on gameplay if desired, we've got about in a month until we get started, so plenty of time.

Thanks for the opportunity to play, Rob! Here's Daffy's stuff:

Player Name: Dennis Muldoon
Character Name: Daffy Johns

Day job: Perform (Hurdy-Gurdy): take 10 for 20

Everyone excited? I know I am! :)

I'm jet lagged and prepping for Pacificon this weekend. I am excited to get started early next week though.

I appear to have made an illegal spell selection when I leveled up after the last game. Reverting it now.

Happens to the best of us.

Don't forget that several of you need to add initiative and minis to the slide

You're such a cheater, Searlas! I'm calling the PFS police right now.

So... would that qualify for the Liberty's Edge faction card goal of 'defy local law or custom in a way that assists me and my allies without endangering the mission or threatening innocents? Or will I have to push the envelope a bit harder?

Qualifies.

Hariwini is Searlas's conscience in somewhat tangible form. He showed up one day after a long night of drinking and Searlas still hasn't QUITE figured it out.

Ahh, the age old question. Is grease flammable?

I am generally of the opinion that it's not particularly flammable.

Link

Obviously JJ isn't a rules source and it's possible I've missed more recent comments on how it works. If so I always love learning something new.

If you'd rather do something else with the alchemist's fire, feel free.

The intent wasn't necessarily to ignite the grease, the intent was to bathe prone sailors stuck in a grease trap in alchemist's fire, possibly ignite any dry surfaces the wooden boat or cause them to smoulder, and generally cause panic and chaos.

My personal rule of grease has generally been that it is flammable, but along the same lines of the splash effect of alchemist's fire (1 dmg) and can possibly be used as kindling. Even then, setting a small pool of natural grease on fire is a rather deliberate thing, and chucking alchemist's fire on it probably wouldn't make a nice controlled burn.

By late tonight, apparently I don't mean until tomorrow. Sorry about the delay, RL kicking my ass tonight.

Hey Daffy, I'm signed up to play Unseen Inclusion with you in a few months at Conquest. :P I'll probably bring Zephyr to that table unless she winds up being a crappy fit for it. Be kind of neat for Daffy and Zephyr to get to play together face to face.

And I'll definitely see you there, Rob!

Seeing you at CQ Avalon Dien is a nice surprise!

I'll only be there Friday. Let me know if you want to try and grab a meal between slots or even a quick snack after the last Friday slot. (Also I swapped my evening slot to 9-04 with you two.)

Huzzah! And of course I'd love to try and snag some food with you.

Excellent! I'm really looking forward to CQA, especially having missed Pacificon this year.

Just as a heads up, I'm also recruiting for another game here starting in about a week.

I wish I had a character in range. Maybe next year.

Actually, it's a 10m/level cantrip; can't you just cast it on all of us before the fight? DM's ruling as to whether that would work, of course, but I don't see anything in the spell that would contraindicate it.

I guess it's a GM ruling how many message spells I can have going simultaneously. Each casting can only target 1 creature/level.

You can have multiple message spells going at once. Of course you have to play operator though. For simplicity sake you'll only be able to share info across message on your turn.

"Introducing Searlas Savy. His magic's can make even the bravest warriors' heads explode."

I'd hate to be the first foe I run into when I get access to the spell 'Explode Head.' I'm totally taking it and spamming it until it works.

Glad you appreciated the intro :)

I found it most amusing as well.

Moving banter to discussion to avoid filling up gameplay with ooc tags. I suspect she doesn't have the feat you mentioned simply because I don't think that book was even in development in season 5.

Oh, no, I stand by my original explanation of "author cheatering" for her, but that feat could be an option for your character.

Sadly he's not a vigilante. He's a Gunslinger (Mysterious Stranger) 1 / Rogue (Thug) 7. In fact he's looking forward to hitting level 11 so he can get his advanced rogue talents... His feat plan is to take extra rogue talent at level 11 so he gets Double Debilitate and Quick Shot. Roll for Initi-BANG! Frightened, Sickened, -2 AC, Speed Halved...

He's my -1 who was originally a pure gunslinger rocking the double barreled cheatery. When that got eliminated I retrained him into unchained rogue. I also made the conscious decision that I did not want to make him a damage beast, so instead went for debuff effects. He tries really hard to take prisoners.

Ah, I missed the Great Renown requirement.

Cheatery can be fun. Maybe you should figure out a way to get him a social talent...

Cavalier - Order of the Cocatrice

2nd level ability Braggart

There's some ambiguity in how the ability is worded but I've always seen it played as allowing a dazzling display as a standard action, and Helkit's tactic's block assumes that is the case as well.

Also known as Order of the Cheaterer!

After taking advantage of the fact that Psychic magic has no verbal/somatic components, it's actually kinda nice in an odd way to actually run into the fear problem for once. Reminds me that I'm not just a wizard.

I hadn't even thought about when I moved up to dazzle

I may not get a chance to post again until Monday, going on a short camping trip. I might be able to before then, but if you wind up waiting on me, feel free to bot. At this point Zephyr's likely just trying to put arrows into people/will wand-heal Itra if she gets too beat up.

I'm sorry about the lack of posts. I've been traveling, and thought I would have more time than I did to post.

Couldn't resist the urge to add Waldo.

I was going to say I found Waldo. :)

Welcome back Shera, I already had you cast spiritual weapon (which missed) on your last turn, Feel free to act as desired when it comes back to you.

Thanks for running, DM!

Should we roll for boons too?

Yes, lets do that!

boon time: 1d20 ⇒ 11

roll a single d20 here in discussion please. if you get a 19 or 20 plepase also roll a d4.

For those of you who are curious Helkit is a Barbarian (Mad Dog) 4 / Cavalier (Huntmaster 2)

As for the powerful animal companion note...

Note that although Helkit’s two classes would not normally stack their effective druid levels for determining the strength of her animal companion, Brimstone’s stats are generated as though this were the case; this is a product of Helkit’s esoteric fighting style and training with the exotic animal—a special exception to the rules for this scenario.

You see, she really had the trait to boost her companion's extra level... she wasn't cheating!

Boony boon boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 4 Nope!

Thanks a lot for a great scenario! I hope to see you in another game soon... from either side of the table to either side! I'm probably going to hold off for another week or so before I begin looking to jump into another game and/or recruit for one of my own, but if you've got any requests PirateRob let me know.

Boonie?: 1d20 ⇒ 8

Lesigh.

Boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 9

Thanks for running, Rob! I'm so glad I got to use my neat water tricks in a scenario! Also, I'm glad to see a Mad Dog in action, since I'm in the midst of building one.

Boondocks: 1d20 ⇒ 4

Thanks for running, Rob! I had a great time with you all.

Boon: 1d20 ⇒ 10

Thank you for running. It was a blast.

Sorry, sheets are going to have to wait until the end of Monday, work totally kicked my ass today and taking baby to the zoo tomorrow during the day.
