So, with more loot of a non monetary nature, I was wondering what the existing party division rules are? Obviously with cash it is equal splits, but for items, especially if we come across a particularly powerful one?

In the past people claimed what the needed; or it was decided who needed or could use the item the most. If they couldn't agree they rolled for it.

Things that folks weren't using got sold.

This is a totally new group so we can do whatever seems best.

where are we keeping track of items found?

I tend to go for a distribution that aids the group. Split cash and anything sold.

I have been lulled into not tracking XP due to most games I'm in. Say DM, are you tracking our XP or should we be doing that?

I usually let people track their own, but online I have been leveling most people as a group. Elathras is tracking his own so everyone should level soon. Thoron was a little ahead being the cleric.

1d8 ⇒ 3

If I were to pick up a level of ranger instead of inquisitor would I adjust my 3 up by 2 or roll a d10?

Level 7!: 1d6 ⇒ 5 not bad!

so were rolling level 7?

Team,

I have an Exploit coming this level and I can chose either an exploit that takes the place of my daily defensive spell which frees up a couple of first level spells each day, or a crafting feat, which I would select Wondrous item to get the most bang for the buck...

Thoughts?

Both are nice. A couple of extra spells a day helps with survivability. Crafting will save us money if you are making the stuff instead of the NPC's.

The question is which will be more limited, money (for making stuff) or the need for spells.

It's RA, I would keep the spells and let the NPC's have the money for the crafting. If you are making a character that Wants to craft, go that route. Either way I'm good.

so level seven dice roll

HP: 1d12 ⇒ 11

I can live with that :)

Alana I'd probably go with the spells, but crafting is good too.

My vote would be for the armor.

HP: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Thanks guys. Sometime the wizard (err, arcanist) wants to be a team player...turns out I can have my cake and eat it too cause normal feat this level, duh!

Updates:

+6 HP, +1 rank climb, swim, spellcraft, K. arcana, dungeoneering, planes and religion, bonus point from headband in perception, +1 max reservoir points, exploit (Armored Mask), feat (craft wonderous item), two spells (battering blast and dispel magic) added to spellbook, increase in spells per day and spell slots but that will have to wait for a rest period

Went with Ranger Freebooter for the team based aspect. Freebooters bane will allow me to designate an enemy and give everyone a +1 to hit and damage against it.

Took Dazzling Display for feat to get an area effect Intimidate to demoralize opponents.

I think it will complement well with everyone.

Took my first level of Arcane Trickster and I can now use: Ranged Legerdemain (Su): An arcane trickster can use Disable Device and Sleight of Hand at a range of 30 feet. Working at a distance increases the normal skill check DC by 5, and an arcane trickster cannot take 10 on this check. Any object to be manipulated must weigh 5 pounds or less. She can only use this ability if she has at least 1 rank in the skill being used.

Nice!

Good going!

Wouldn't Restoration cure Elathras' wisdom drain?

Restoration cures all temporary ability damage, and it restores all points permanently drained from a single ability score (your choice if more than one is drained). It also eliminates any fatigue or exhaustion suffered by the target.

This particular drain requires greater restoration, "Wisdom drained in this manner can only be restored through magical means of greater restoration, wish, or miracle."

Team, options to move forward since only two small tunnels present them selves as the only ways to go. I can reset two spells to help here, reduce person for size issue and fly to stay out of any potential issues with the mud filled room. Thoughts?

Either way, it appears if we take the tunnel from the mud room, it is a slug fest through the mud once we get into that tunnel.

Guys, I might be in and out for a good bit. I got word on Saturday that one of my friends in Oklahoma City has cancer, so if I don't respond for several days please play me.

hey brv, when I try to get on RA or LL it Roll20 tells me "An error was encountered" are you able to get on or is it giving you trouble as well?

I am getting the same error since last night

I got on LL a few mins ago.

So, we got some stuff, anyone want to make a claim:

+1 keen longsword
six +3 arrows
efficient quiver
three potions of water breathing
immovable rod
5 arcane spells (antimagic field, rage, rope trick, shocking grasp, and wall of stone),
boots of the frog
a thoroughly destroyed spellbook with only two spells still usable for study (contagion and dispel magic)

cannot id the mantle (anyone else want to take a crack at this?)

As the primary Arcane caster, Alana suggests she hold on to the scrolls and book in order to study them and add them to her repertoire for future use. She will of course offer the use of her spellbook to other arcane casters for study as well. She also suggest everyone take a vial of antitoxin, just in case.

If no one has a preference for using the immovable rod, they tend to come in handy every so often, but Alana is not tied to it and defers to any other claims.

She does lay claim to the crossbow and bolts. She does not currently have a ranged weapon and she may have need for one some day.

Where are we keeping track of wealth?

Cuthalian do you want the 'elven chain' for sleeping? If not Elathras would use it.

you have the party mule

elven chain? I Missed the elven chain. That would be handy. If you want the chain you can have it. I'm also interested in the quiver.

hey Cuthalian, Elthras has claimed like the last four items, if you can use the elven chain go ahead.

roger, elven chain it is. Frees me up for more acrobatics.

I would also recommend the +3 arrows for our shooty ranger, I think he has the best shot at making those count.

And offer the longsword to replace his current one to Thoron. It is at least slightly better and no one else is really using one that is not already equally powerful.

I'll take it if no one wants it, but I have a +2 warhammer

hey fellas what time do most of you usually get on and post? I feel like I'm holding things up because I usually do thing during the day.

I can get on around 8PM thought and post before I go to sleep.

I usually check in the morning and evening, If it's a slow day I stay on my computer a few hours, like now.

A different question, over all, would Elathras be better off with the +2 longsword, or would the keen sword be better for the greater chance of getting a crit?

hrrmmm toss up, the +2 would hit better, but the keen could do more damage

exactly, I don't know which one would theoretically be better...

Elathras' present attack is + 2 longsword (two handed) rage PA RA

attack: 1d20+14 for damage 1d8+2+9+6
Attack 1d20+9 for damage 1d8+2+9+6

either would crit on 19-20

Where the +1 keen would be + 1 longsword (two handed) rage PA RA

attack: 1d20+13 for damage 1d8+1+9+6
Attack 1d20+8 for damage 1d8+1+9+6

either would crit on 17-20

Has anyone actually done the math to compare the two?

so crit 1/9th of the time or 1/4.9th of the time?

not sure of the biggest bang for the buck

don't think it makes a heck of lot a difference IMO. flip a coin

Just remember, it can be further enchanted at a later date. too bad there is no magical sheath to hold different weapons in like the Efficient Quiver.

The choice is kinda like when you want to use Vital Strike, is better if you can only hit once, but if you are going to swing away, then go cit fishing.

Thoron, I checked everyone's sheet to see who could use the items best and i missed the Warhammer +2. It had the +1 longsword and morningstar. I wonder if anyone else is missing stuff from their sheet and could use it?

man I don't know I just checked on my last post on the updated character sheet and it's there on Jan 29 of this year.

I don't mind taking the longsword, it'd give me an edged weapon to go with the blunt, but up to the rest of you

at higher levels the crit is more important. Typically it shifts at 8th level when a good BAB can get improved critical. Your bonuses above weapon damage are such that the increased chance of a crit starts to outpace a larger base weapon damage and the extra +1 would not do it. Now being magic, as soon as you take improved critical, 9th level for you I assume, then it does you no good unless you take the feat with a different weapon.

ok I've updated my profile. I posted the new sheet, but forgot to update my profile. Sorry about that

Anyone think they can make use of the new longspear? Its is a reach weapon, so good for second row folks...

Not me

Elthras which sword you want then? Cuthalian's probably got higher level fighter types than I have played yet and knows a bit more. Really doesn't matter to me, but I can use a longsword and give the morningstar to the party mule to carry.

Oh I was wrong I can use the spear, I looked at the chart wrong. But, if anyone else wants it go ahead and take it.

One of you take the shield I've got better that I'm carrying.

Thoron I think elathras will stick with the +2 sword for now, since it is illuminated he is using as a torch...
