Game Master Just a Mort

sorry about the question before action, can Einar rage encased In Ice? Can he enlarge? would that break the ice?

edit: Also if Crummock was warned about a monster and cast spells, couldn't have Einar, if he cast mirror image, would the monster have hit him?

Its a breath weapon in a line. It doesn't care about mirror image, though if you want to you can mirror image for its...other attacks.

If you raged in the ice, eh the ice would still be on you. Then you make the strength check immediately to break the ice to expand as a standard action. If you fail, you stay raging, but you don't get large.

The Khala's breath weapon hasn't been very well documented so I've been having to determine interactions on the spot.

Crummock's broken you out of the ice already.

And I'm off for a swim

And I'm off for a swim

like this?

Yup!

Talking is a free action.

Did I cast Elemental Body III on Greta the previous round and therefore still have an action this time or did I do it now when she spoke?

I think that I've updated my header correctly for resources used so far today.

Youre doing it this round. Your previous round was communal resist energy. Only Crummock has yet to act this round.

Im going out for dinner soon so I may be a little slow on the uptake..

Is there really nothing you want to say in the grotto? If so at least state if you're spending the night in the fort or out. Because Dimitri will be following the majority of the party depending whether they want to be in or out of the fort. So you get a paradox on how can a person be in two places at once.

Unless you dont really care about all this and just want to move on with plot, you can let me know here, then I won't bother as well.

bear with me, I spent the evening with my wife, it's her weekend, I will post in a couple of hours once I get settled in for the night.

Doesn't matter now. I'm out with my bf for the sports hub - cum library opening. After lib opens I'm probably going to sign up for pilates session. Was thinking akkido, but don't want to get thrown on a full stomach.

Also there was some dancing in the field involved as well.

Yes, I pre-prepared that.

Sorry, got home late. I would like to respond to the current stuff but am too tired.

Mr. Whiskers does allow Anastastia's spell to go off, I will say that much now.

If people will wait, I will respond in the morning.

I am fine waiting till morning,

Ya ill go to bed too.

In case people want to get started, in addition to the normal buffs, Mr. Whiskers will use Resist Energy Cold before we go against the former Wnter Witches. He plans to use Ice Body on himself.

Do you guys want to move? I could move you if you want, or would you rather yak more? I don't mind either way.

And yeah, I just wanted to get a little foreshadowing done for end of AP since there isn't really that much left to go.

In a certain PFS legal scenario there are traps that a rogue can't disable. Simply because you have 1 round to disable the trap and you need 2d4 rounds...as a rogue. Only if you have something like Clever Explorer from archaeologist bard do you actually stand a chance of disabling it.

Some people hate rogues.

I've run into several things in scenarios that were not quite to the rules in various scenarios. I've learned not to trust how a scenarios does something as how the rules work.

I don't care for rogues myself. 3/4 Bab, twf makes it worse. Their main damage is from being in front, yet they only get light armor, have poor saves for the most important saves, fort and will. Their position in the front makes them more vulnerable to all those spells.

Not to mention as levels go up, monsters have crazy cmd, so acrobatics in is not an option. Besides if you acro in, you get 1 attack, and the tradeoff is the monster gets to full round you, and you're wearing light armor.

That's why I let the trapfinder trait be readily available so people wouldn't be forced to play a rogue.

I like unchained rogue better, if I write a character to be a thief I like the class, if I'm creating some other type of character I would use another class.

I prefer to force classes that have 'trap finding' or 'disable device' to use them, that's why I don't like the 'trapfinder trait' If I'm building a trap expert and giving up the other class skills it's annoying to have some one go 'oh and I can do traps cause I have a trait'

Having said that, it worked out here for me, because I liked Einar a lot more than the trapfinding dex based character I had built to use for this game ;)

So speaking of other classes has anyone perused the new Dandy ranger archetype? Probably not enough 'cheese' for some folks, yeah looking at you Mort but I found it entertaining. I like playing fops and dandies ;)

I would try and pair it with an archetype that had disable device.

Hey! *yowls in protest*

It's still better then rogue since you still have full BAB, and two good saves(fort and will) at the end of it. Besides ranger archery combat style is one of the few ways you get improved precise shot at 6.

I can do the fop, but I'd prefer it with bards. I probably could do a thief with a bard too, and it's even better because if you screw up, you cast invisibility and jump out of the window. Or at higher levels, ddoor.

Sorry, I cant imagine you being foppish. It's like you're usually some kind of beatstick.

I gotta do work for the next three hours so I figured I should get a post if for Einar when I could. If a fight brews see how I did that, witch, brew, nice huh. Einar will use cast mirror image and use the great sword, casting fly first if the enemy is off the ground higher than he can reach.

Heightened awareness cannot be cast on Greta as it is personal, and is a divination and not a transmutation spell.

Oh, sorry! My mistake.

This is Baba Yaga's demiplane. Who do you think was last dining in here....

I know. Which is a problem for Crummock. He is sorely tempted to Plane Shift to Heaven, and leave her there, consequences be damned.

Botting is quite tiring for me, to be honest.

*pants*

Sorry, when I posted I hadn't read your post yet, so I will now formulate a response.

I need to head into work soon. I'll respond more, if needed, after that.

If the troll wants details, it is Anastasia that we rescued. We could tell of the Animate Dream as one of the punishments, or Ratibor. Really, there have been so many examples of her responses I've lost track myself.

I really wouldn't want to be the queen when we get Baba Yaga released.

Yes - but the "troll" has no enmity against the Queen. She only has an enmity against Baba Yaga.

So - the "troll" would be siding the Queen, just out of hatred of Baba Yaga.

Queen Elvanna has done the "troll" no wrong. It's Baba Yaga the "troll" has a bone to pick with.

Botting is quite tiring for me, to be honest.

*pants*

Thank you for botting Einar, I had to be away from the computer for four hours, I'm sad it wore you out...

Body wraps of mighty strikes is only enhancing one attack per round.

I didn't realize that, I would use it for the maw attack.

So Mister Whiskers talked the troll into going to the boneyard? Great minds think alike! That's what Einar was going to do for him too!

Its not the troll that needs to go to the boneyard, its whatever's inside it.

Why it wore me out was because I had to manually calculate the modifiers - you have base 27 str so it's a +8 to attack rolls and damage, at 16, you get +6 morale bonus from strength, and further +4 from abyssal bloodline. So total you have 37 str, so +13 to attack and damage from strength total.

Then there's power attack which would give you -5/+10

Since you weren't enlarged, I couldn't use your enlarged stats so I had to manually calculate, and you know how much I like maths...

I used on claw because if you were really fighting the troll, you'd want the claws to land to disable the regeneration.

Why it wore me out was because I had to manually calculate the modifiers.

The sad thing, on Einar's page I have all that listed under Attacks. The only issue us I had the +1 wrap affecting both maw and claw attacks, apparently that was wrong.

[ooc]Full Attack: maw, claw @ 2, Rage,(AC 35) PA, + 1 wrap. 1d6 fire[ooc]
[dice=Maw attack] 1d20 + 27[dice] [ooc]for[ooc] [dice=damage]1d6 + 14 + 10 + 1 [dice]
[dice=Claw attack] 1d20 + 27[dice] [ooc]for[ooc] [dice=damage]1d8 + 14 + 10 + 1 + 1d6[dice]
[dice=Claw attack] 1d20 + 27[dice] [ooc]for[ooc] [dice=damage]1d8 + 14 + 10 + 1 + 1d6[dice]

Body wraps of mighty strikes:

This long cloth is wrapped around the chest multiple times like a bandage. Once per round, the wearer may add an enhancement bonus of +1 to +5 on one attack and damage roll for an unarmed strike or natural attack (for one specific attack, not all attacks made with an unarmed strike that round). The wearer may use this item an additional time per
round when his BAB reaches +6, +11, and +16.

Choosing to enhance an unarmed strike is not an action and may occur when it is not the wearer’s turn (such as when making an attack of opportunity). The wearer must decide to use the item before the attack roll is made, but does not have to expend all uses at the same time. For example, if the wearer can use the item twice per round, he can use it once on his turn when making an attack and save the second for the possibility of making an attack of opportunity.

I misinterpreted the use of the item - if you have the requisite BAB - you may enhance multiple natural attacks per round, so since at 16 BAB, you can enhance up to 4 multiple attacks per round.

this post seems to indicate That's how the item is supposed to work

I think for Dimitri's armor you're looking at celestial armor

Added up I think we're looking at 9 armor, 8 dex bonus, total 17 ac.

Otherwise it's probably bracers of armor +8. Total 20 AC flat.

catskin leather, despite having no max dex, is only about 3 armor, 11 dex bonus, total 14 AC. Shadow though.

Besides if it's made up of a cat's skin, that falls under cruelty to cats. *growly noise*

Again, mage armor already gives 15 AC, so I think the only thing catskin leather has over it is the shadow part. And not dispellable.

Besides if it's made up of a cat's skin, that falls under cruelty to cats. *growly noise*

It's not cruelty if there is a prophesy saying it will happen and the cat wants you to do it...

:=)

Oh shush.

You're not going to let it rest are you?

So I assume we are waiting on Crummock with respect to the Plane Shift.

Yeah but whether planeshift was done or not, you'd still end up here.

Celestial armor + rifle + gauntlet = medium load (since he'd need to be max 33 lbs for light load) which would screw Dimitri's max dex. Ant haul would need to be used.

Oh shush.

You're not going to let it rest are you?

Hey, I'm over it, but it's fun to poke :)

Yeah boards are pretty fked up, I lost my post 3 times.

Yep you're right, Mr Whiskers. I learnt something new today!

ok, back amongst the living, thanks for botting Einar

@ Crummock, It sounds like Einar should enter the smoke and use the hammer on the ooze,

I didn't see/read any other threats, so do we fly down and ice the thing?

Funny 'ale Jack' is not a phrase I know, I assume it's a glass or stein.

Its flying, so you can't ice it. Anyone who wants to get in melee, please airwalk/fly. Slide 24.

I think this is what they meant by ale jack

the ooze is flying... sounds like Einar should be flying too, going to go post casting, ouch when did you ever think you would hear me say that!

Thanks for the info on the 'Jack' that's what I assumed it was, but it's nice to know it's exists I kept googling and all I could get was info on "JacK Daniels"

Neh, whiskey isn't my thing. I drink primarily sweet stuff + whiskey is too strong for my taste. It's quite a feat to drink it neat.

*looks around for limoncellos and moscatos*

Go casting, Einar! Someday I'll make a casty out of you!
