I certinally would like to keep going if the others do. This is my last game in the system that I love the most.
ALso, we got a huge loot pile.
Once the others chime we can figure out the party balance. Would not want to make Trox range but could find a way to provide some healing with a rework in a pinch.
No PFS for me. I can take the Infusion discovery to pass out my healing extracts, but rebuilding for ranged is more than I want to do.
I'm in to keep going!!
If we buy some healing wands, Cordwin could take on more of a healing role since, yes, ranged attacks are not his strong suit.
Definitely want to keep going. So we would just keep it at 5 players?
Do we really need a ranged player?
Probably not, although there are times it's good to have one.
I would prefer to keep it to 5 players, but that may be colored by having had to bot Erond for like half a year; I'd rather not take the chance of getting someone else who ghosts on us.
BTW, if you give the magic items looted from the Black Arrow rangers back to them, you'll get a pile of xp.
Also, I was wrong about Barl’s spellbook; there are a few spells in it that Reynard can copy into his formula book. I'll get the whole list up later.
100% we should return their property.
Five is good for me, the AP's are written for four players after all.
We are melee heave. I would not be against reworking Trox to be a ranged specialist. Pretty much a redo but it could be effective. What do the rest of you think? I could simply go ranged fighter or switch it up to the ranged magus which is a class I really like. It gets us a bit more arcane as well.
Thoughts?
My original character, in a game that failed to continue, when I came back to the game was a ranged magus.
You're definitely a little weak on the arcane side.
Speaking of the Black Arrows, I forget if we've discussed Leadership. Could someone take that and get a Black Arrow (or maybe Shalelu) as a cohort to help with the ranged side?
Barl's spellbook contains:
Cantrips: Acid splash, detect magic, detect poison, read magic, dancing lights, flare, light, ray of frost, ghost sound, bleed, disrupt undead, touch of fatigue, mage hand, mending, message, open/close, arcane mark, prestidigitation
L1: Chill touch, magic missile, ray of enfeeblement, cause fear
L2: Ghoul touch, spectral hand, blindness/deafness, command undead, false life, scare
L3: Fireball, fly, ray of exhaustion, vampiric touch, gentle repose, halt undead
L4: Animate dead, fear, bestow curse, contagion, enervation
I have Fly already, but I can take False Life. I always wish Alchemists had more stuff on their formula list, even stuff that would be wildly impractical 99% of the time. Imagine an Alchemist that had somehow gotten immunity to fire drinking an extract of fireball in the midst of a pack of enemies! It'd be hilarious. Even moreso if he could brew potions of it then arrange to sell it to villains under the guise of a potion of, say, Resist Fire or Protection from Fire!

I think most alchemists call those "bombs."
Let me know when you want to start the next part.
I've been sick the last several days (and still am). I'll get caught up as soon as I have the energy.
Same Druamin, headaches so bad they gave me a CAT scan. No issues seen and they have faded so... whatever.
I thought about it and I am going to switch up Trox if that is ok with you DM. It would need a gear redo as well, if this is ok how should i handle gear and what not. I am happy with it just changes and no one says anything.
Sounds reasonable. I'll try to keep things moving, but not start any fights until you're done with the conversion.
Can i just reset with wealth by level?
Sure, unless you have a unique item from the AP.

I think I'm finally back to the land of the living. I see we leveled up so I'll take care of that soon.
Druamin, that is me switching to a ranged character since we ran out of ranged damage.
I think that the GM posted in an ooc tag that we're all at 10 now.
Once you're leveled up, post in the Discussion thread.
You can definitely keep that, but remember that I have you roll d5+5 for d10 HP.
Right O on the HP, it was at the herolab default until you sighed off on the concept.
OK everything is updated and ready to roll. Now we have a bit more arcane power and ranged power.
The general rule is that if you'd normally roll a d(x) for HP, you roll d(x/2) and add x/2 for your HP. So for d10 you'd roll 1d5+5, for d8 you'd roll d4+4, and anyone using d6s would roll 1d3+3.

D'oh! Please remind us next time we level up. It's so long between level-ups that I *will* forget again.
Skarn is leveled, I just need to update my data on this profile.
Relevant to Trox now, how closely do you want arrows tracked? Might need to by a ass-load more I am realizing. Happy to just lose 100gp and say that covers me for a bit but if you want tracking I can do that too.
Erond got durable arrows and we assumed that unless there was something weird going on he would retrieve them after a fight.
It looks like Cordwin and Druamin still have to update to L10.
Trox, you rolled d5+5 for HP, and you should've been rolling d4+4--could you reroll your HP?
Woops.
Never noticed the durable arrows before, bought a bunch of them and ketp the normal as well.
I'm ready to go.
Ugh! I am having trouble with PC Gen loading. I hope to figure out what's wrong with it soon.
EDIT - Got it working. Cordwin is leveled.
Working on my leveling.
Trox would take the headband of vast intellect unless someone else did.
I would also now be interested in what spells are in the spell book now that Trox casts arcane.
All leveled up and ready to go.
DM, mind giving me what we in the spell book we found, never hurts to add more spells in downtime.
I posted the spellbook contents in the Gameplay thread a month ago; see HERE.
Oh, i am so sorry. It didnt register at the time since Trox could not use it.
I'm pretty sure that when this piece of the scenario was written the author assumed there'd be a full arcane caster in the party, so keep that in mind as this develops.
The fact that we're not hindered by some pointy hatted weirdo should aid our cause you're saying?

...you could say that.
I am just glad Trox has not been put to sleep yet.
