Rappan Athuk set in Nirmathas, Golarion

Game Master baldwin the merciful

Strength unless it has weapon finesse, in which case it can use Dexterity if it's better.

Thanks

I'll try to get a post up early in the morning. Otherwise, it's a pretty busy day tomorrow.

I'll be moving the game forward this afternoon. I've been reluctant to DMPC character in these high level combats, but I'm going to start to do that to get the game moving forward.

As I understand it, if you fail a concentration check it simply means you lose the spell, right?

Yeah, cast defensively means concentration checkmate avoid the AoO, succeed and cast, fail and lose the spell as if cast but no effect.

In my excitement, I thought she took an AOO. Bah Humbug she only loses the spell.

If it makes you feel better, you get to cheat and cast restoration via SLA as a 1 standard action spell, rather than the 3 full rounds it typically takes!

Dang it, I didn't realize restoration was a 3rd action. Does the SLA shorten the time down to 1 round?

To Kalim, Grung is a royal, slightly slower disintegrate spell.

Probably smellier too

Tough but fair.

Yes, I had to double check, but SLA'so are always a Standard action, unless they take Quicken SLA, which makes it a Swift, obviously.

One of the reasons Summon and Call spells can be so beneficial, TBH

You are right that brightens my day.

Ok folks the good news is you can level up to 14th.

Once you get to the Keeper she'll give you some info to go along with your quest to weaken Orcus. You'll be heading back into the dungeon soon. Although I'm contemplating tying up one small story line along the way.

Karnog's links to underlying story quest

Karnog previously pulled together a bunch of links regarding the quests. I'm going to build off this with information that the Keeper will be providing you.

Remember Karnog you will need consecrate scrolls.

huzzah!

How are we doing HP again

1d10 ⇒ 6 in case we are rolling

ok all done

obviously another level of fighter

bonus feat: Advanced Armor Training which gives me

Steel Headbutt (Ex): While wearing medium or heavy armor, a fighter can deliver a headbutt with his helm as part of a full attack action. This headbutt is in addition to his normal attacks, and is made using the fighter’s base attack bonus – 5. A helmet headbutt deals 1d3 points of damage if the fighter is wearing medium armor, or 1d4 points of damage if he is wearing heavy armor (1d2 and 1d3, respectively, for Small creatures), plus an amount of damage equal to 1/2 the fighter’s Strength modifier. Treat this attack as a weapon attack made using the same special material (if any) as the armor. The armor’s enhancement bonus does not modify the headbutt attack, but the helm can be enchanted as a separate weapon.

You better believe I am going to put some ridiculous enchantment on that! Holy Headbutt here we come!

Nym are you taking one skill point for language common? it will make communicating with everyone easier.

As far as HP: roll for them, reroll 1's

I'm rereading a few prior posts and the adventure thread. Dang you've been in and gotten yourself out of some tight jams.

I'm also laughing at the near yearly (in real time) recurrent theme with Desmond's character: he thinks below his waist. I wonder if 2018 will be any different than 2016 (vampire) or 2017 (courtesan).

Picking a seventh level spell, just one, is hard! I'm gonna list some spells I'm thinking about for some group input.

Particulate Form: I give you all fast healing 1 and make you immune to bleed damage, critical hits, sneak attacks, and other forms of precision damage. Could be useful, could have creepy aberrant flavor.

Ooze Form III: I turn into a giant ooze and devour our foes. So awesome! Although that might make things hard for you guys.

Greater black tentacles: +13 attack to evil, 4d6+13 damage per round grappled. Very thematic, he has the lesser spell. Again, might complicate for our melee fighters.

Symbol of Weakness: 3d6 STR damage to all enemies in 60' radius. Potentially very useful in that it can debuff melee attackers and potentially cripple casters.

Mage's Sword: Could I flavor it as a boarspear? +21 to hit, 4d6+3 force damage for 14 rounds. Can hit ethereal and incorporeal, which is nice. Kinda basic though.

Delayed blast fireball: f@%~in classic. 14d6, reflex save (noticed I don't have much of that this battle vs two melee types).

Greater Teleport: awesome utility but hard to take as a first 7th level spell. Feels more like a second one, you know?

Mage's Magnificent Mansion: also pretty unsexy but maybe a refuge for Karnog when we're blocked from his God.

Any thoughts? Possible other alternatives?

I like the symbol. That's cool

Boar spear and mansion are also great

1d8 ⇒ 1 Hit Dice
Reroll!
1d8 ⇒ 3 Hit Dice

I could have sworn I bought consecrate scrolls, I'll have to get some. Also, plan on refocusing on more buff spells, especially if summons are gonna be nullified.

You may have, I just want to remind you.

I gave a few gold for it

Yeah that's what I thought

I'll have to go back through the discussion page and find the #s

hp: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 1 = 6

Karnog, any input on my next spell?

Updates so far:

+7 hp (forgot about toughness)
+1 to Intimidate, Spellcraft, and Knowledge Dungeoneering
+1 to Will save
Familiar updated (forgot to last level. +1 Int, +1 Natural Armor, +1 skills, saves updated, hp updated, Kalim can scry on him now)
+1 BAB/all attacks
Spell durations updated
+1 to damage of Acid Ray

Still waffling on what spell to take.

Re: spells

I always tend to go for teleport/wall spells as a default, but as a sorcerer, you're gonna want a multi-purpose one for your one & only spell known.

Limited Wish gets you plenty of utility, at the cost of GP per use.

If you want to change shape, greater polymorph or form of the Dragon 2 are my choices.

Greater Teleport or Plane Shift are the GTFO buttons, which, when combined with resurrection, means we can keep party members alive. Assuming we can teleport, of course.

Prismatic Spray, Waves of Exhaustion, and Waves of Ecstasy are all fantastic AoE spells, depending on which you'd prefer to inflict.

If I were picking, it would be a toss up between Greater Polymorph and Limite wish

I had forgotten about limited wish. Couldn't o even up your stats for gold? That might be nonlimited wish.

Found my consecrate scroll purchase here: Click

I apparently also spend money on an amulet of NA+3 & eyes of the eagle, which I neglected to write down.

Bad cleric, no cookie!

I'm going to be offline for a few days. Before that happens I am going to try to get up a map and a round or two of initiative to move the game on. i don't what to have a big lull of time.

ok, I'm going to be offline for a couple days.

I'm back. I won't get a post up till tomorrow.

I'll try to get a post up tomorrow.

I will be getting some combat posts up this afternoon, but first, I have yard work calling me.

I am working to get the enemy attacks up on Desmond and the main party but it won't be until tomorrow. probably in the morning though.

I still don't understand why Desmond couldn't acrobatics right past them.
