Rise of the Runelords

Game Master Goblins Eighty-Five

OH! And The Tome of Secrets' Priest Class is, in my opinion, a healing monster! I've linked to it's PFSRD page.

My husband educated me about Healers, actually. He sent an NPC one with one of the groups he ran a long while ago. It was a joke.

I will check out the link tomorrow. Is a bit late here for me to be playing with characters.

I actually plan on taking energy substitution (Acid), so I can make effective use of my bloodline arcana. I'll probably pick up magic missle next level, as there aren't many battle-mage friendly spells at level 1 anyway.

Admittedly, I'll be lacking some things wizards find basic, like feather fall, but that's what scrolls are for.

Needless to say, Aesh is heading off toward the sounds of swordplay...

I have just enough time to do nothing; expect response in 5 hours.

Okie Dokes! Thanks buddy! Hope everyone is having a great day!

I'm pretty sure the blue eyed guy is the same from the vision of mord hanging. The one who was smiling. Demaiv didn't have that vision though.

Does Dani recognize either man from any of her visions then?

If so we can edit her answer..

I am pretty sure that Aesh doesn't recognize either of them.

*Feels stupid*

Which visions did Zelladania experience?

Never mind, I think I found out.

Also, we're racing towards the finish line!

*Is very excited*

Yeah, I was reacquainting myself with the earlier encounters. Adanel has a few questions he would like to ask at this point.

Oops, I found that I had mis-read the post. So I deleted my initial response...

Actually Dem, I think that the paperwork are the letters that each of them received... that they were drawn here to play out some grizzly scene.

I think that Aesh would not be as filled in to draw the conclusion, but he is slowly getting filled in... I would comment, but I want to read the letters.

Demaiv is inspecting the magisterial credentials, not the actual letter

Paused there so the NPCs and other PCs can react.

Oh, my understanding is that the credentials that he was showing was the ring, and that the only papers were the letters. Am I wrong?

Oh, my understanding is that the credentials that he was showing was the ring, and that the only papers were the letters. Am I wrong?

yeah

go to sleep in europe, zero posts. wake up in europe, 19 posts and my character seems like a chump.

I have even less idea what's going on as this is coming to a conclusion.

Also, another reason I'm not saying anything is because I haven't decided if I'll do the revamp yet.

Heavens oracle gives some useful arcane debuffs like color spray, hypnotic pattern and others. Would anyone be opposed?

LOL! Meanwhile, I'm up at an unreasonable hour.

I am a huge fan of the Oracle; I'd approve of that any day of the week before a Cleric. Magister didn't do it for ya then, I take it?

Too complicated for me, I'm afraid. And the one divine spell I get per level is good for cure spells, but... I mean, c'mon, any divine character worth their salt has got to be able to raise dead at some point!

Would you mind terribly if I just switch this character's class, and keep the name and such? I don't think the background would need to change significantly to be a divine caster over an arcane one, though if it would confuse others, I can use my Merry alias.

I don't think it'll cause too much confusion, we haven't been playing for too long yet if you want to keep the same alias.

Ok DM, I think I'm confused about when you want checks. I wasn't trying to actually do anything other than just stating what she had seen for the sake of her companions who hadn't had the same vision. Therefore I didn't bother to roll for anything. Do I need to roll everytime my character just wants to say stuff?

Would you like me to go add to the post and roll a diplomacy check to try to get the bad guy to admit the truth of what I said? Or a bluff check to convince him we already know everything?

Ah, I misread that entry...

Stuff

If you think you'll be getting the NPCs to...if you plan on your words influencing the NPCs, then make a Social Skill check. Each of the NPCs has a bunch of DCs that make them act differently. And you keep saying enough awesome things that GM fiat is giving you wicked bonuses! :)

I just realized that I forgot about my Cha damage. My last two Intimidates were one lower... still good rolls though! :)

Wow. Your first good Diplomacy roll.

I'd like everyone to weigh in; your character can choose to abstain.

This sickened stuff is some crap! Hah.

i will be retrofitting Zelaria to be an oracle today. I'll post the crunch here in spoilers before switching out everything in her profile for approval.

Good job!

You wake completely healed; all damage and ability score damage is all gone!

Here is your NEW CURRENT TOTAL XP; this is the same for everyone. And I've calculated it all the way out, went through every post.

Holy Crap.

2590 XP.

Uh...

Level UP!

From here, you guys should head to Sandpoint. Other than that, it's your game! I'll see you in Sandpoint.

Well, so to speak.

Level up summary:
Sorcerer 2
Improved Cha
Took Power Attack
Distrubed 4 skill points
Took 1 hp for favoured class
HP: 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 1 = 9 for a new total of 31

Leveling up another of rogue

hp: 1d8 ⇒ 2 sigh

Now to try to decide what rogue talent I want to pick...

I kinda want minor magic...

Level up:
hp 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
Bonus Feat: Dodge
Bravery +1
Included the scarf's bonus in saving throws

ok, decided to go with combat trick for my rogue talent and took Dodge for that feat and took Deft hands for my level up feat and put my +1 to stat in str.

Dani, was that an addendum to the house rules?

Normally feat every odd and ability bump every 4...

It wasn't in the first list of the House Rules.

Begining of recruit thread

My house rules:

»A +1 to one attribute at every even level, no choosing the last one you placed it into (No +1 Dex at 2nd and then 4th. You couldn't do Dex again until 6th level)
»A feat at every level. This doesn't stack with the old feat progression, it replaces it.
»Reputation Score. You don't have to worry about it, heck, I'm only telling you just in case you wanted to take one of the Reputation feats.

After giving it some thought, I do not believe that I need to change Zelaria much mechanically in terms of stats, but I do need to change out a trait and some feats.

So:

Traits
Replace Fanatic trait with Birthmark (APG)

Feats
Replace Spell Focus (Enchantment) with Spell Focus (Illusion)
Replace Varisian Tattoo with Extra Revelation

Skills

Craft (Fabric Goods) +7, Heal +5, Kn. Arcana +8, Kn. History +8, Kn. Planes +8, Perception +5, Sleight of Hand +5, Spellcraft +8, Survival +5

Spells Known:
1st (4/day) Bless, Cure Light Wounds, *Color Spray (DC 16) Shield of Faith
0 Create Water, Detect Magic, Ghost Sound (DC 15), Guidance, Light, Mage Hand, Purify Food and Drink
*second level mystery spell

Class Abilities

Mystery
Heavens

Oracle's Curse
Haunted malevolent spirits follow you wherever you go, causing minor mishaps and strange occurrences (such as unexpected breezes, small objects moving on their own, and faint noises). Retrieving any stored item from your gear requires a standard action, unless it would normally take longer. Any item you drop lands 10 feet away from you in a random direction. Add mage hand and ghost sound to your list of spells known. At 5th level, add levitate and minor image to your list of spells known. At 10th level, add telekinesis to your list of spells known. At 15th level, add reverse gravity to your list of spells known.

Revelation(s)

Coat of Many Stars (Su): You conjure a coat of starry radiance that grants you a +4 armor bonus. At 7th level, and every four levels thereafter, this bonus increases by +2. At 13th level, this armor grants you DR 5/slashing. You can use this coat for 1 hour per day per oracle level. The duration does not need to be consecutive; it can instead be spent in 1-hour increments.

Spray of Shooting Stars (Su): As a standard action, you can unleash a ball of energy that explodes in a 5-foot radius burst dealing 1d4 points of fire damage per level. A successful Reflex save halves this damage. This attack has a range of 60 feet. You can fire one explosive ball per day, plus one additional ball per day at 5th level and for every 5 levels thereafter. You can fire more than one ball at a time, but creatures caught inside more than one simultaneous explosions only take damage once.

Thanks Dani,

I was only looking in the discussion thread at that set of House Rules. I will update my character to those standards now then... :)

As an addendum:
New 0 level spell went to Guidance.

Also, Dani, if I might suggest the rogue talent Defensive Offense a bit later in your build. It allows rogues to be super tanky (assuming they can get a flank).

Ok, raised Str to 17.
Level 2 feat: Prodigy (my two craft skills: Weapon and Armor)

Giving Adanel a chance to post before continuing

Give Adanel a chance to post before continuing

I haven't read gameplay yet, but I agree regardless.

If you guys could ALSO post a level up changes entry in your profiles, I'd really appreciate it.

Hu5tru, I may be mistaken, but I think everything looks okay. Just remember to level her up.

Cool beans, her weapons and "armor" aren't changing any, it's mostly the fluff that is changing.

oh, and I'll think I'll spend the human favored bonus on skill points so I can give my oracle Sense Motive maxed as well... for 5! rock on!

Kay, level 2 stat increase to wisdom, and skill focus sense motive!

Level up information:
Combat Feat - Improved Natural Attack (Claw) 1d4 to 1d6 damage
Feat - Weapon Finesse
Ability Stat Increase - Dex to 21
Hit Die Roll - 1d10 ⇒ 10

Quite the nice level up. I'll have it adjusted later tonight. Have a dinner to attend to now though.

@Dem - I do not believe that the spoiler was meant to keep anything from anyone, but it seemed to me more of a way to indicate that we were speaking another language. It seems to me that not ALL of us might be Varisian in ethnicity, as a majority of Magnimar are, in fact, Chelaxian in descent. The Varisians as an ethnicity are actually treated quite poorly amongst the immigrated Chelaxians. For the most part, that is. (This is all with the assumption that this is in fact Golarion and it is as presented.)

I am thinking mostly of Rekkart, as Zelaria was making a reference to "their" law, which was why I chose to answer in Varisian.

In either case, no disrespect was meant, of course.

@Adanel - No disrespect was meant towards your character either. Hopefully Aesh will be able to make up for that slight. :)

Wow, I never noticed that you are all Varisians.

Would you guys like to ever use Jade Regent's Caravan rules? There is quite a bit of traveling later on in the game.

That sounds good to me Goblins. Would fit nicely with the party as it stands.

Caravan would be cool! Is Adanel half Varisian as well?

I've no idea what the rules are, but sure, lets use them :)

Adanel is a Varisian by birth, but has spent much of his life traveling through different areas with his mentor.

And I know Aesh meant nothing against Adanel, it was merely adding some flavor to the posts that happened. Missing quite a few of them, I took some liberty to be creative.
