Aye, thanks for the heads up. Purchased.
Thanks Feral for the last three books!
I will diligently use them to properly plot and plan.
Wait, he bought you all the books? That rotten sneak! What do the rest of us get to buy you?

I prefer death rays and cupcakes (actually, just kidding about the cupcakes - frosting is gross).
Regarding ghostbane dirge: It appears that ghostbane dirge had an errata applied between the first and second printing. Hence the difference between the book and the prd. The errata is on the product page.
There are, as Feral pointed out, some structural issues with the spell design, as it targets will, undead's strong save. However, that same "flaw" seems intrinsic to the Pathfinder design philosophy for a number of spells and effects that are theoretically good against undead (Undeath to Death, Channel Positive Energy, Chill Touch) Meanwhile, sunbeam and disintegrate become the actual kings of undead slaying.
It's beyond the scope of my interest to try and "fix" the intrinsic problem. However, if the casters want to invent their own spells I would be game. Maybe "Body rot" for the undead - target fort and rot their bodies away to damage them? "Ghost wind" for incorporeal - target reflex and maybe damage and stagger the undead? Something along those lines would be fine. I assure you such spells would not go to waste in this campaign.
Too much poking at the fabric of rules :)
We could all play ars magica instead. Creo Ignem!
Would characters afflicted by confusion be able to make a new save to try and shake it off?
Shrug. It SOUNDED good at the time.... XD

Nothing in the spell (or my experience at a game table) indicates that to me. Typical solutions are to disarm/disable a character until they are better, or maybe send them off to fight an illusion until the effect wears off.
For the sake of simplicity, I would say that once combat is over, the character is still confused, but not feeling threatened anymore so they can just sit around and default to a mix of babbling and normal actions.
Alright.
Would my Studied Combat boost to damage work here?
Nope, sorry. Incorporeal negates precision damage.
Figures.
Tell you what, you can bluff your confused allies into running towards some imagined enemy down the hall. That would stop them (Avora and Lana, specifically) from being locked in a death struggle due to confusion suckiness. Just an idea.
Well, I think I'll try doing that next round--unless what you just described is a move action, in which case I'll give it a shot now.
Lets call it a standard.
Next turn it is, then.
Out of curiosity, would confused party members take a penalty to Sense Motive rolls as long as they're confused?
Heh, I thought about that, but figured it wasn't my place to add one. :P
Didn't matter. Avora was completely convinced (natural 1).
By the way, this is a good group. Anyone interested in taking on a second adventure path? I'd be open to GMing; just need to know which one you are interested in doing.
My personal tastes are Jade Regent, Carrion Crown, Mummy's Mask, or Giantslayer. I'm currently running an Iron Gods game, but I can start a second one if people's tastes run in that direction. I'd rather not do Skull and Shackles, as I am running one online and another tabletop, but again, if that's what everyone wants, I'm open to it. Any of this strike anyone's fancy?
Ranginui, you are welcome to join the group, of course, if you would be interested.
Please note that if we choose to do Giantslayer, I cannot begin it until Feb 25, when it comes available to the public.
This is a good group! An excellent, fun group, in fact.
And I have been dying to play Giantslayer since it was announced, but I am trying to shed PbP games, not pick up more - the distraction is rocking my boat a bit - so I will have to decline.
I too should avoid additional entanglements at the moment, so I will also decline.
I love this group. :D
And now I'm expecting there to be an ACTUAL zombie moose at some point, just so Shanya can look like an idiot.
Anyway, regarding a second potential Adventure Path, I'd love to get into another Jade Regent game. The one I'm currently in is running a little too slow for my tastes.
...
...
...
...a drow swashbuckler?
The zombie moose is some sort of meme? There are a surprising number of zombie moose pictures on the interwebs.
Wait, REALLY?
...huh. Didn't know it was a thing.
I had no idea that was a thing. But Kalt must have known at some deeper level, when he said they were the worst kind of moose. Or zombie.
Huh.
Anyway, Avora, I'm also up for a Carrion Crown game...
Ready to leave the hut then?
I'll just point out that if you squint just right you can see our 5000th gameplay posts from here...
Oooh, no, I hadn't! I may have to procure that feat as soon as possible. And why you reading my private messages? ;)
That's a very cool feat, Sven! I'll have to keep that in mind. But I'd be careful talking about marrying rangers and druids in this company, Avora's already pissed at you, I don't want to get Kalt in the middle of things.
And you shouldn't go poking in a lady's spoilers!
Rango - when do you think you might have those PFS chronicles available? I'm particularly interested in the Snows of Summer one, as I hope to play the character I've applied it to at an upcoming con. It's no big deal if they won't be ready soon, just want to know what to expect.
Kalt, which of your favored terrains is at +4? I would think favored terrain from ranger and horizon walker stack.
Sorry about the sheets, I've been distracted (currently on a business trip). I'll work on those tomorrow/tonight.
Cold is at +4. I agree about them stacking, Hero Lab didn't do it and I forgot to fix it when I posted the alias.
And thanks for the follow-up on the chronicle sheets.
...and reported. Let me know if there are any problems.
Rango- none of the boxes on the right side of the sheet, where XP, GP, and the GM's initials go, are filled out. Should we just do those ourselves?
Ah, give me until tonight and I will add those fields. Dangers of doing things while sleepy.
These look great, Rango, thanks very much!
Was I incorrect in assuming Sven had <3+ ranks in acrobatics?
Ah, well you didn't take the damage; the additional +2 to total defense made a difference.
