Right, level 6 here we go!
Slayer talent (Ranger Combat feat: Manyshot)
BTW I'd really recommend getting Improved Precise Shot as your bonus combat feat, since you get to ignore the +11 BAB requirement, and you can get Manyshot as your normal 7th level feat.

I agree with this in principal, and it's what I do when I play an archer, but, for the most part, we have been using more of a narrative combat style. Without a map, and people stuck on it, so soft cover has not really been a consideration I have been enforcing. Thus, the feat to eliminate soft cover penalties is probably not needed.

That's a good suggestion, thanks, and I did consider it, but Alessandra's of the "Moar Dakka!!!" tactical school so I went with that.

Oh yeah, Rogar lvl 6 highlights:
-2 new spells: Resist energy, barkskin
- +1 BAB and all saves
- Tumor familiar (mauler), need to introduce it in-game...
I need to make some purchases from Tidewater Rock, but otherwise I think we're good to move to Mancatcher Cove.
BTW, I'm on vacation until sunday, so sorry about lazy posting...
BTW, is Tidewater rock someplace where we could increase our infamy/disrepute?
We're moving on, and not worrying about infamy and disrepute. We're "winging it" on those to rulesets, but we ARE using plunder and selling of plunder!
I roll the initiatives, and then track them during combat. Like type enemies will share an initiative.
If you do something to improve your initiative, let me know.
Which reminds me, you guys just made a level. Can everyone check their initiative and perception checks on the campaign page, and let me know if I need to adjust them in my dice rolling macro?
Can you use your Gresham alias here too please?

Sorry, I wasn't using the alias since I wasn't posting IC. I'll do so from now on.
Checks look fine for Chaenath.
Regarding profession (sailor) Doc is +10 and I am 9+1d6 (so at least as good, and probably slightly better on average). Would Alessandra be comfortable having a new crew member pilot?

Sure - grab the tiller and look like you know what you're doing and you'll be fine!
Happy Easter everyone.
And to you.
Sorry, weekends are bad for me usually. I'll move things forward today, stand by for combat!
Just a small note regarding initiative, I expended my heightened awareness for +4 to my initiative. It doesn't look like that was taken in to account, however it also doesn't look like it matters this time.
You're right. Sorry!
Is there enough rope around that I could move over to the ship's rail and then, as a move action, throw a rope over the side to Alessandra?
Would I need to hold on to that rope, or would it already be anchored to something?
There's rope, I doubt there is one tied off with enough length to get to her.
So I could do it if I held on to the rope?
You bet!
Ah, I forgot about the condition modifiers on climb... :(
Can I use aid another to assist Alessandra's climb check? Or better yet spend my round hauling her (presumably she has a hold on the rope)?
Yes
Yes I can assist her, or yes I can just use my round to pull her up?
Pulling her up is assisting.
BTW I'm just waiting for Alessandra to climb up before I go attack Knuckles.
After Alessandra got thrown overboard, I was pretty worried until Chaenath got him nauseated, and now Doc has him frozen in place.
Tossing a PC overboard per round is a brutal tactic!
You want to know the REALLY annoying thing? I actually took the Ranged Trip feat and then forgot about it... Would have prevented the whole thing! Grrr.
So I'm a little confused. A ranged trip wouldn't do any damage, but let's press on and let Knuckles be dead, and the last buccaneer surrenders.
Assuming that Alessandra is using the Ranged Trip feat, it will do damage (but does require a full round action).
I'm not sure what was denying Knuckles his Dex to AC in order to give Alessandra a sneak attack (presuming that is what the 2d6 damage was).
So I'm a little confused. A ranged trip wouldn't do any damage
EDIT Ninja'd!
EDIT II: thought Knuckles was glued in place? Hence the sneak attack damage. Ignore if not.
Being glued in place (as from a tanglefoot bag) generally doesn't deny you your Dex modifier to AC (barring any GM rulings of which I am unaware).
Oops. My bad.
There are so many rules in Pathfinder nobody should be faulted for not knowing them all! :)
Heh. Like Terry Pratchett said: "omniscience is frowned upon (the gods are notoriously stroppy about demarcation issues)!"
Seriously though Doc should be First Mate I think.
Ohhh! Cuz I have an archer in another game moving towards Ranged Trip! SWEET!
Seriously though Doc should be First Mate I think.
Lol! I agree.
He's a suitably moderating influence on Alessandra, I agree. Which is pretty terrifying, when you think about it.
Would it be OK if I grabbed a cutlass from a buccaneer, and used one of Knuckles's +1 spiked gauntlets until we get a chance to sell it?
That's not a question for me, right?
More a question for the group. I'm assuming it is fine unless I hear otherwise. I have no plans to keep the gauntlet, I just want a backup weapon for now and since we can't sell it I might as well have it as an option.
No problem here.
Fine with me!
I think you need to do it in the first round. It's an action economy thing, right, still a free action though.
Swift action. You are correct, it does need to be done in the first round. I just wanted to see if I could get a house rule. ;)
Can I shoot the things from up top? I have darkvision 90 feet if that's an issue.
I think everyone in the water is holding position near the surface and waiting for the underwater peoples to come to them. Once they do I'd guess they're open to arrows and bombs.
