I don't think it has mattered yet, but Thistle's swim check without armor and with a light load is just a regular -1.

Sczarni

Mists of Mwangi

correct. you still have your armor on :)

Nu-uhn! Remember the Manties bit? Thujone helped me take my armor off.

Sczarni

Mists of Mwangi

oh right. my bit was old. :)

Ausk listens to the second boy, his massive hands clenched tightly. A deep breath exhales as he listens to Thistle's clever ruse. He then kneels next to the boy.

"Young one," He asks the little girl with a surprisingly soft voice. "Do you know what I am?"

A dulled-tusked grin eases across his face.

Scarier than a basketful of spiders? LOL

He's got a 16 charisma, they're friendly spiders.

And all that fur made him extra-cuddly.

This makes all the difference for me. I'm indifferent as to which forum we use now that I can see updates.

Although it did take 2.25 hours for this to show up on my Reader.

Meaningful pause

At the risk of swelling Rob's head more than usual ;-), this is brilliant.

Sorry I'm confused. Did the little Kid I was talking to run off?

Sczarni

Mists of Mwangi

Yes, but probably because I didn't want to have 2 simultaneous conversations going on at once. It's hard enough to follow 1 train of thought on a forum.


Male Mostly Harmless Incorrigible Punster 5/ Militant Grammarist 3/ Contrarian 2

You could always just say that the youngster spilled all kinds of beans about the orphanage, and then Blunttusk can run in paladin-like and confront the hag.

Back, sorry was a rough couple of days.

Sczarni

Mists of Mwangi

no prob :)

I attempted to smite I critically failed, but on the flip side, my AC is currently 18

Sczarni

So...shirt re-rolls. Discuss.

On one hand, you need the help.
On the other hand, have you been wearing your shirt the entire time? I dunno.

Seems a little cheese, but not enough for me to make a ruling without input.

What do you think?

I normally keep one with me when I game. I only use it in dire circumstances (Rob's concentration check counts, in this case).

I'm fairly lax in my restrictions when it comes to the shirts, though. Players can only get one, but I will let anyone who brings a shirt give it to someone else at my table. And being lax inside our circle has been the norm (i.e., we've let people we know have shirts use them), for better or worse.


Male Pale Irish Bard 3 / Expert 5

Since you can also use a character folio as a "shirt" for re-roll purposes, I don't have a big issue with it.


I'm also quite lax with the shirt reroll rules, in part because it pops up so infrequently these days. I prefer that the shirt (or folio) is present, but I don't particularly care if they're being worn/used.

While I also see Jonquet's side, which is that the whole point of the reroll is that it is a perk for advertising Pathfinder, Paizo has already received the benefit of me buying the shirt (in the form of cash money).

I do think it's a little cheese, TBH, which is why I a) never really wear the shirt and b) don't complain if that precludes me from using it.

Sczarni

Mists of Mwangi

I give a shirt eRe-Roll a thumbs up.

Silver Crusade

Male Human Cleric

Ferocity! I am standing and can use Lay On Hands! WEEEEEEEE

Silver Crusade

Male Human Cleric

doh no i'm not, I gave up ferocity


I have never seen this encounter go well.


Male Pale Irish Bard 3 / Expert 5

Hey, this is the first time that I've played it in which my character has actually gotten to take an offensive action. (And, even that's because i got healed here... ;-) )


Male Mostly Harmless Incorrigible Punster 5/ Militant Grammarist 3/ Contrarian 2

Yep. This one always goes this way, unless someone's save-or-end-combat spell gets a lot of lousy rolls.

Sczarni

Mists of Mwangi

Chronicle sheet can be found here.

Just add your info. I think Sarge has a day job, so you can just roll that at your leisure.

Sczarni

Mists of Mwangi

So. What's next? Godsmouth Heresy?

Never heard of it. I vote yes!

He does, indeed.

Profession Soldier: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

So, an extra 10gp.


Male Mostly Harmless Incorrigible Punster 5/ Militant Grammarist 3/ Contrarian 2

Godsmouth is fine by me.

(We should try to recruit a Cleric.)


I could make an Evangelist...

Sczarni

Mists of Mwangi

I'd suggest adding a cleric too. you guys keep your characters, and we try and find a 5th person. anyone got any suggestions?

Sczarni

Mists of Mwangi

Also, since the map is pretty big, how hard would it be to have MapTool as the map. We still RP & roll dice here. The cool thing about MapTool is that i can use the fog of war and tokens and stuff. It will be MUCH easier to do mapping.

Hint:
The map is 50 by 100 squares (estimated)

Silver Crusade

Male Human Cleric

Evangelists aren't clerics, they're s~@@ty bards.


Male Mostly Harmless Incorrigible Punster 5/ Militant Grammarist 3/ Contrarian 2

MapTool is okay, though I'd be limited in my ability to see it at work. I have CotE at home, so I can see if I can scan the maps in and chunk them up for you.

I also think a five-person might be ideal for keeping things moving. As for recruits, I know many of the people you all do, meaning we're largely talking about the same pool. there are some who'd be good players to recruit but their availability is spotty, while some who have shown good availability aren't my favorite people with whom to play (won't name specifics on the latter, but the point stands).

Sczarni

Mists of Mwangi

the cool thing about maptool is that it runs as java, so you can run it using any machine. my home server would be up 24/7, and when we need to, we can connect. it doesn't have any issues with firewalls either.

5 is good, and i agree about the limited quality pickinz for a fifth player.


I should be able to get away with Maptools at work, although, as always, there will be periods where I'm unavailable.

Would it be helpful if there was a calendar of availability so we could know when to skip people?

Sczarni

Mists of Mwangi

Nah, we just use this thread to track availability, and everyone can keep me honest.


Male Pale Irish Bard 3 / Expert 5

I use Maptools for several online "real time" games in which I play, so I'm familiar with it (and like it quite a lot). But, I'm in the same boat as Chris -- I wouldn't be able to access Maptools during weekdays, while I'm at work (fairly draconian IT policies here).

I had mentioned to Rene last week that I might have another potential player -- long-time RPG player, and a good friend of mine. He's played tons of OP stuff (RPGA, etc.), and has done a fair amount of Pathfinder (including some PFS) in the past year. His biggest issue will be if he can commit to a game. Working on him now. :-)


Male Mostly Harmless Incorrigible Punster 5/ Militant Grammarist 3/ Contrarian 2

I just talked to one of the two people I had in mind and he's not interested at this time. I will try to touch base with the second today or tomorrow.


So, was that a firm maybe on the Evangelist?

Silver Crusade

Male Human Cleric

Do I need to dl anything for MapTools? I've only got my work Mac right now.

Sczarni

Mists of Mwangi

if there are work issues with having maptools (you don't install it, you just run it so things are a little easier), then i say we don't use it. I wonder if there is a map server program that is browser based.
