I can't think of a better way to prevent being attacked or found out. :)
I think Derrik was wanting to claim dibs on the charisma thingy? Not entirely sure.
It will boost his saves, his spells, and his smiting. I vote to give the headband to His Highness.
Whoever has the lowest saves should get the cloak. And maybe the ring for Rad? Or any of the spell casters who can't wear heavy armor.
EDIT: I just checked ACs. Rad could use the ring the most in my opinion (13 AC) so there is my vote.
I could certainly go for the belt.
That seems fair to me. Other than Derrick (who assuming no one dissents, will get the headband) and MJ (who isn't up for an item), I think you are the only strength focused fighter. So I second your desire for the belt, Mr. Hammer.
Koran can have the Belt, Derrik Does want the Headband.. And Saves and Ac to the lowest saves/AC person or the person that would most likely to get into situations where such is used on them
So, Derrik gets the headband, Koran gets the belt, Rad gets the ring.... Who gets the cloak? Who needs a saving throw boost?
And there is lots of equivalent loot to be plundered in The ST.... Glory, XP, and magic treasure await you! (As well as possible death, dismemberment, and/or insanity....)
I could certainly go for the belt.
The belt looks very ancient--it is a worn leather girdle adorned with rune stones and jewels. It's name is Megingjord, and it was one of three major possessions of Thor, along with Mjolnir, and Jarngrepnir (gauntlet, which Koran wears in order to handle Mjolnir).... So now Koran possesses all three items.... He could one day assume the mantle of god of thunder, if he reaches 20th level and is invested with divine power by a patron deity....
I think I may have the lowest saves (+4/+3/+4), so I would like it. But if someone is worse off they can of course have it. Also I have a +1 Cloak of Resistance I can give to someone if I end up with the +3 one we just found.
Nice vorpal beheading, Derrik! :)
Why thank you, Though the delivery could have been more epic, the result came at a nice time to be sure.. Lets try it out next time upon the Leader of the Silver Tower.
Well, with the Ring equipped, I've gone from base 13 to 15. With Mage Armor I'm at 19. The average CR 7 creature has +11 to hit.. so I'm safe on a 1-8!
Of course, now that I have spell slots for fly and a few others, like greater invis, I'll get those "other" defenses besides just AC.
Besides, Rad (And the rest of the party) are equipped with "Derrikplate" +5, which generally takes all the hits and kills everything for us anyways. What more protection could we need!
I case anyone else is wondering this is the break down of the fierce ones.
Koran - Wild rager - martial
Derrik - inquisitor/paladin - martial (Magic?)
Mikey - two-handed fighter - martial
Radsworth - spellslinger - magic
Kailin - lotus gaisha - buffing
Naomi/Kepler - Summoner/ediolon - buffing/martial
Vash - beastmaster/smirmisher - martial
Yingzen - martial
@Radsworth - We are the only two characters left from the original recruitment.
Haha! "Derrikplate" living artifact... Hrmm Is that uneasiness in Rad the evil tendencies to become a Lich quaking? I kid though... Recently we have been lucky the first few things have targeted Derrik either by choice or by necessity, especially with those Gun crits and Daisy. It helps that Derrik doesn't want to see another " Kinyama" Where he was there but could do nothing to save him.. and at this point can recover from all but ONE BIG CRIT... which I hope to remedy soon. Well at least at 12th I definitely will. Oh well let the RP commence!
EDIT: HEEEY! Im sure at this point Derrik counts... considering he came in fairly early and missed only the very fist combat T-T * Sniffs and sulks in the corner *
EDIT: Coincidentally Derrik would make a pretty scary antipaladin
Fair enough, you can come be OG with me and Radsworth.
EDIT: @Derrik - I bet all of the Fierce Ones would be quite frightening if they were evil. Maybe we should take a hint from Mephos?
YUSH! *Fistpumps*
@Koran - Then again the difference in goal wouldn't be much, ultimately we would want to destroy the Great Old One and then probably rule the world... perhaps some backstabbing here and there.. but yeah I as more commenting on IC Rad's sudden concern.. Y'know the Drill.. when the most righteous fall a true villain emerges
EDIT: @Koran: I think Hybrid would best describe Derrik As He has Both EX and SU abilities Can heal and Smack things well. Along with a choice amount of Spells or Spell-likes.
mj what terrains will we be in the most Yingzen is taking terrain mastery again with the extra rouge talent feat
@Koran, I think my role breaks down more as "Ask Ketchum/Pikachu," but I suppose "Buffing/Martial" fits as well...
@Ruladin, if you went off the deep end and became an antipaladin that would be quite interesting to witness how the plot unfolded. But we would all likely need to roll up new characters after being filleted by Excalibur....so please stay LG. :)
Now if I were to Guess the Terrains would be... Underground, Urban ( Equally) Forest/Jungle/, Dessert/Ice/ Mountain... And Finally the Plane of Ryleh.. which we will definitely face
@Naomi: Don't worry He doesn't plan on it and.. Stubborn as he is, if it became obvious he would turn and there was a shred of him left.. he would off himself and pass the blade and his axe to someone else worthy. He is a very well done LG.
yingzen now has terrin mastery forrest +4 and urban +2
THAT, is Rads uneasiness. He's come to the realization that without much effort derrik could drop a party member a round. He doesnt like ANYONE being that far ahead.
When he gets 5th level spells, he is going to propose something that Derrik will NOT like, but I'll keep that a secret for now. =)
Anyone else getting the Batman/Superman vibe here? The old Justice League tale where Batman has contingencies ready to take out any member who would go rogue or come under mind control including his kryptonite bullet in the utility belt...
That actually might be a really really good analogy.
Hrmm.. The only Thing Im confused by was the Mind control thing. Derrik had never come under any control.. thus the STUBBORN portion of his name.. The rest however is a very logical examination of the situation
I thought He and Billy had both had their minds pierced by some monster. It's how the ninjas found us at Lido Key. Remember Merlin had to dispel it.
Hrm. Checked it. It was Koran and Lee, not Derrik.
Stupid memory.
Ya, the aboleth known as the Slime-Shrouded Master casted dominate monster on Koran and Dwayne Lee, which Merlin dispelled....
The ST, due to the nature of the building and organization of the cult, will likely be almost a continuous running battle as you explore and fight your way up to the evil Fane of Cthulhu in the penthouse....
Mickey Remember See Invis
I may be mistaken, but I don't think you can have a potion of see invisibility. It is a spell that has target "you" and range personal while potions require a target of one or more creatures or objects. Maybe I am over thinking though...
Huh.... I think I might have made that mistake before, now that you mention it.
Is it true that one cannot make pots of personal spells, Oh Wise and Noble Ruladin?
On a side note, I just had an idea for an artifact for Radsworth....
And don't get jealous, Levinson--I'm planning on throwing an intelligent artifact in the game for you, too, as soon as I think of an awesome one....
But tell me if you all think this fits Rad, and especially if Rad likes the idea or not....
An intelligent +6 top hat of mental superiority named Chesterfield or something British-sounding, that sounds like a British butler, is fluent in several languages, acts as any type of greater metamagic rod 3/day, also can be removed to act as any color bag of tricks, and perhaps a few special abilities off the intelligent items special powers tables.
I checked on potions, and you're correct, Levinson--target of one or more creatures or objects, not personal....
Stupid Mikey Jay! Lol! Failed his Knowledge (arcana) check....
Yay! Intellegent items are basically my favourite thing I have never gotten to use. Once more, MJ, you have managed to make my favourite campaign even better.
If we somehow end up "winning" this and ending it, I sincerely hope you will be up for GMing another campaign of some sort.
Oh, definitely! I love DMing, and have really enjoyed playing with all of you.
I foresee this going on for some time. Even if you defeat Cthulhu, there are several other GOOs that have invaded Earth, and their Servitors....
I'm glad you are having as much fun as I am with Post-Apocthulhu Earth.
I didnt even have to answer this one.. Also I'm sure we wont go after Cthulhu First.. considering.. Cthulhu. Save the Big bad for last.. let him quake in FEAR.
That's a good plan; Cthulhu is the most powerful of the GOOs on Earth at present.
Of course, Shub-Niggurath is pretty powerful, too, and if Yog-Sothoth is successfully called to Earth by Lavinia Whateley, Cthulhu will suddenly seem like the lesser evil....
Do we all have potions of see invisibility? If so I missed that completely.
Nope, I mistakenly thought they were possible in the first place, and had bought some for MJ, but they can't apparently be made (pots of see invisibility is personal spell, and pots can only be one or more creature or object as subject)....
Disregard MJ's advise as the ignorant rambling of a fighter, unfamiliar with potion lore! Lol!
WOW, crits with Mjolnir are ridiculous. maybe I should take improved critical at some point. [19-20 x3 + 2d8 +2d10 + DC 14 fort]
Indeed they shall hurt quite a bit, and Excalibur isnt any better we it comes to that level.. Nat 20 crit = Dead. Also MJ you did it again Divine favor is a personal only spell
Hmmmm.... The stats come directly from the official NPC Codex, so maybe the intent of RAW is that u can make personal only spells into potions? My reading of the Brew Porion feat leads me to the same conclusion as everyone else, yet a Paizo publication has potions of divine favor....
See the 10th level warrior under NPC classes in NPC Codex (aloof archer, I think?)....
They screw up stat blocks all the time.. so disregard that at times.. alot of the NPCs are borked someway or another. Literally for every book there are dedicated person upon this forum that spend their time to point out the various errors with every one of Paizo's big books.
That's true lol....
Instead of divine favor, they can be potions of bless.
So, Rad.... If you could design Chesterfield, knowing it would be for your use, how would you change it? Is it not on par with Excalibur and Mjolnir (I know its like apples and oranges, but try to compare as best you can....)?
And what kind of artifact would suit Levinson?
An intelligent item, for sure, but what for a summoner?
What about some kind of ridiculous intelligent figurine of wondrous power? Like a marble elephant with Int and ego, special powers, etc?
Now all I can think of is Bob the Skull from Jim Butcher's Dresden Files series...
Sorry!
I must have missed where you brought this up.
"An intelligent +6 top hat of mental superiority named Chesterfield or something British-sounding, that sounds like a British butler, is fluent in several languages, acts as any type of greater metamagic rod 3/day, also can be removed to act as any color bag of tricks, and perhaps a few special abilities off the intelligent items special powers tables."
I think Rad would spend a lot of time arguing with his hat, which is funny. It could also spend a lot of time talking down to him, which I like. It makes me think of the weird talking hat from Harry Potter, who is a pretty amazing concept. It just might declare him to Hufflepuff, which is sad, because Hufflepuff never wins anything.
The only thing I can think of that really has Rad feeling stymied is his inability to understand his banned schools. What I thik would be neato is if the hat let him understand one extra school (maybe chosen daily when he does spells) that doesn't count as a prohibited school while he wears the hat.
As far as relevant power goes, I don't think it's as strong as Excalibur, but that isn't important. It's the RP and flavor of the setting that keeps me here, not munchkinism.
