I mean in game years.
As you guys are probably guessing right now, you collect some survivors to take with you. You provide for them, and they help you. My plan is for Little Tooth to be added to your band of followers. I'll try to make sure she is able to connect with an NPC or two so Ira can sometimes leave her behind safely if he wishes.
I'd imagined Little Tooth as being a bit tougher and wilier than most kids her age. She survived the prolonged nightmare that was the escape through Bottlebreak Pass after all. She's also notably more sociable than Ira is and Ira's work means he needs the occasional sitter. Jet is a good choice for a semi-regular caretaker, I think.
@ Ira since we're addressing ooc roleplaying concerns I hope you're not offended I'm probably going to play up Valasca being a little flirty with the other reptilian member of the party. I hope that does not make you uncomfortable.
The idea of a Lizard woman chasing a partial dragon amuses me mainly.
Hah! No, that's fine. I'd imagine eligible reptiles are few and far between in this mammal dominated world.
I've decided Ira is going to be densely uncomprehending about her attentions since he is simply out of practice thinking of attention towards him in that way outside of the... usual pastimes of a soldier on leave.
Sorry about the double post. The website went unresponsive on me. I deleted the second one.
@Cnut, if you did that as a charge it would work (and you'd get a +2 to hit) at present I believe you're off on action economy.
free action drop bow, move action draw weapon, move action close gap, standard action attack.
with a charge you are allowed to move up to double your move and can draw a weapon as a part of a charge you get a +2 to hit but lose -2 to ac for the round.
So free action drop bow, full round action charge (draw weapon attack)
If you have a BAB of +1 or better you can draw a weapon as part of a regular move action.
If you have a BAB of +1 or better you can draw a weapon as part of a regular move action.
Oh I always read that as taking the move action you're right! Neat. I've been charging unnecessarily for ages :P
Sorry for my brief post, guys. I'm not feeling well tonight, so I'm not up to setting up the next part. Go ahead and post any talking or looking around you do in the shrine, and tomorrow I'll post going over to the caretaker's shack.
@GM feel better, we're not going anywhere.
Hey guys, we need to talk a bit about whether you are interested in part of this adventure path. You're going to need to take care of all these survivors. Are you interested in using the militia rules and keeping track of all the details of your followers, or would you rather we hand wave that and only talk about it where it moves the story forward? I have my doubts whether it would work well over play by post, but I don't want to make a unilateral decision on the issue.
I'd love to look after that part.. but that's my thing.. I wouldn't mind handwaving it a bit as it would probably be quite difficult.. but i'd like access to the healing resources, those of them that are adepts would have.
I'm okay with giving the survivor care and militia systems a try, but if you don't think they would work, I'm willing to defer to your judgement. You could also ask the Adventure Path section of the forums if they think it would work, getting the advice of other GMs who've run the game.
I'm not a resource management type of person so if someone else wants that job they can have it, I otherwise have no objection to running ti in either case.
Guys, I know this part is a long slog. It's designed that way; unfortunately the effect is much stronger in PBP.
I'm still waiting for more opinions from you guys on the militia rules.
I'd be interested to see how it works but if it is going to slow down gameplay, we can skip over it.
I'm also willing to give it a try
Hey y'all, I've had a busy weekend and the few times I could try to get on it wasn't working. Will try to catch up ASAP.
As for militia rules, I'm down for giving them a shot.
Damn, when did you all get the site working long enough to post?
Never mind, just read the content of those posts
Works from my phone. Just not a computer.
I've been having trouble with both
Browser choice seems to be a factor
I just realized none of our characters has introduced themselves. Not complaining mind you, I want to play it up for laughs later.
Heads up, I'm traveling for a memorial service today. Probably won't be able to post.
Thanks for letting us know. It's weekend, so everyone has more time before they are expected to post anyway; if I need to, I'll bot your character.
Okay. I'm back. Are Ira and I putting the fire out for round 3, making that my action?
I would like to talk about an alternative to a masterwork weapon, but I'm honestly having difficulty coming up with something other than another partially charged wand of some variety. Maybe something defensive instead of offensive?
Sounds good to me. You can take one wand (or two) of any level 1 spell in the CRB, totalling 25 charges. I'm thinking of really vanilla stuff here like shield/mage armor/magic missile/burning hands, but I don't want to be too rigid here.
I think I'll go with shield, since mage armor is one of my spells known.
Just realized I misspoke last night, it should be 'on the other side of the target'. I blame post renn faire exhaustion
For level up, how are we doing HP?
Roll here. If you roll low (less than half your hit die), you get the half. i.e. if you hit die is a D8 and you roll a 3, you get 4+Con+ other bonuses, such as FCB.
I'll handle my gold situation tomorrow.
5 it is.
Sweet
I kind of want the Aegis of Recovery and wand of cure light wounds (21 charges) because... party healer. But that's well over CBL since the Aegis alone is 1500 (but among what was dropped!)
My thinking is that if I'm ever in trouble enough where the secondary power of the Aegis is needed then the whole party is likely in desperate need of healing as I use reach and tend to burst often. The first power get me more likely to shake effects that I'm probably the only one able to counter later in the game.
Thoughts?
Also someone should snag a Travler's Any Tool.
Go ahead and take the Aegis, the partial wand, your masterwork weapon, and your starting gear. I'll allow going over WBL for the sake of one cool item you find like this if you want.
If anyone else has a similar request, let me know.
Woo, I'm a slightly healthy sorcerer!
Will level up later today and make sure my gear meets the requirements.
MY serviceable longspear which is still a reach weapon will go to any townsfolk that would like it.
And finished updating. I've grabbed myself a few scrolls and a potion, as well as keeping all three wands, to round out my WBL.
There's some box we never opened from the first shop, I'd like to know what's in that
Totally forgot about that. I'm curious what's in it too, now.
queue what's in the box meme
You mean the dusty lockbox on the top of a shelf in the back room of the inn? It contained a wand of grease (5 charges), a wand of prestidigitation (31 charges), two elixirs of tumbling, and a set of juggling balls.
I also need to ask you guys what you think of the difficulty. You all made quite powerful characters, and I've been leaving the difficulty as written while we all got a sense of the power level of your characters. The fights have all seemed quite easy for you. Is this fun, or would you like more challenge?
