Any creature with the animal type
That is very useful, as i know from my witch.
Does your healing hex scale to cmw/csw as well?
Give me some money and time, and between alchemy and brew potion, I can turn our resident madman into a walking pharmacy :D
Customer: what does this blue one do?
Henric:ah yes, that's for er...erm...against wrinkles, yes that's it.
Customer buys it and grows muscular instead.
Remember kids, label your bottles.
Pfft, Henric wouldn't stammer like that.
He'd start speaking in tongues. :D

It becomes CMW at 5th level but stops there.
Merc, just to be clear, the Nature Shaman hex as written is this:
Speak with Animals (Ex): Choose a specific kind of animal: eagle, fox, dog, and so on. The shaman gains the ability to converse with that type of animal as if she were under the effects of speak with animal. The shaman gains the ability to communicate with an additional kind of animal for every 3 shaman levels she possesses (two animals at 3rd level, three at 6th, up to a maximum of seven at 18th level).
I was hoping it could be a more general kind of animal that I choose (birds, canines, cats, etc.). Are you saying I can just speak to any animal using this hex?
There is a witch hex that allows speaking to any kind of animal. I'm asking for clarification on the Shaman (Nature) hex because then I wouldn't have to use my one Witch hex selection for that.
Feral Speech (witch hex)
Effect: This hex grants the witch the ability to speak with and understand the response of any animal as if using speak with animals, though each time she uses the hex, she must decide to communicate with either amphibians, birds, fish, mammals, or reptiles, and can only speak to and understand animals of that type. The witch can make herself understood as far as her voice carries. This hex does not predispose any animal so addressed toward the witch in any way.
At 12th level, the witch can use this hex to communicate with vermin.
A specific species must be chosen. (owls or eagles for example and not birds)
Oh my, also need to level. I do that after adding post to catch up.
I see opportunity to take a new feat.
Not many ranged ones to choose from at the moment due to prerequisites: such as Rapid Shot
Nature Spell I need to wait until have wild shape ability.
I have rare options that can be used though it really depends on the campaign encounters if they be useful or complete waste: Flyby Attack and Death from Above (using a melee weapon such as a sword (anyway need to get a bigger slashing weapon)).
As can be seen, character is rather ranged type, not very strong for melee. Any suggestions would be welcome too, though rare options is dependent on GM's opinion.
You might get inspiration as you go.
Forgot the roll thing, so here's the HP adjust.
Substracting the difference.
A specific species must be chosen. (owls or eagles for example and not birds)
OK. If you don't mind, I would like to change the Speak With Animals hex to use my Witch Hex option to get Feral Speech, allowing me to speak with any animal.
Hey all, just letting you know I won't be posting much for the next couple of days. Tomorrow I'm running back-to-back PFS slots at a local convention, and the day after is my birthday, so I'll have family stuff going on. Try not to move too far without me!
It was mine yesterday, so ill gratz you in advance, one to the next.
Happy Birthday to the both of you.
Enjoy the events. Don't become too zombied.
Happy birthday for yesterday, Jayla!
Thanks guys.
Oh and for a point numerian steel is apprently not pure adamantine. It's glaucite.
GLAUCITE
When the phrase “Numerian Steel” is used, the speaker is
usually, knowingly or not, referring to an iron/adamantine
alloy called glaucite. This dark gray metal is the material of
choice for hulls and starship superstructures, and is what
constitutes the walls, floors, and ceilings of the strange
ruins found throughout Numeria. Without more advanced
technology, glaucite is extremely difficult to work with.
Because the metal isn’t much better than steel for forging
weapons or armor, and the process of extracting the
adamantine from it is so expensive and time consuming
that the resulting adamantine isn’t worth the effort,
Numerian scavengers have, by and large, left the walls
and floors of the structures buried in the region untouched.
It’s simply easier to scavenge smaller objects or work with
normal iron or steel in the long run.
I will also be incorporating some elements from the numeria rise of the iron gods campaign into this one.
I'm a little sad the fist chapter features an underground crashes alien spaceship that is fully fleshed out with a reactor going critical...I could have used that a little earlier lol.
A question DireMerc.
It's meh now, but what if the rolls we make for lvl Hp are 2 and 3 for several levels, is it possible to find items to compensate?
hmm if it gets bad I may allow a re-roll of health at some point but other than that amulet of health...

Feats if you going archer I suggest:
Point Blank Shot
Rapid Shot
Precise Shot
Deadly Aim
Weapon Focus (Longbow Comp)
Manyshot
Snap Shot
Point Blank Master
Improved Snap Shot
Clustered Shots
If you are not going archer then I recommend hover, then flyby attack, then death from above.
And yes I'd allow those feats.
Thanx for the reply. Great to hear the fly feats can be useful in this adventure. Be first time I ever get to use these feats. This is first adventure I having the opportunity to use a flying character.
Saved the recommendation list, I will do a mixture of archery and flying, with nature spell for when transformed.
As a note the language most commonly encountered on alien vessels is Androffan which is the native tongue of the aliens who were flying the immense vessel that crashed into the planet. After you have encountered the language a few times I don't mind that you put a point in linguistics to learn the language. In fact you can do so upon your next level up.
Androffran:
The language spoken by the ancient crew. When spoken aloud,
Androffan words sound crisp, clipped, and efficient; the
written form of the language uses characters with graceful
rounded elements, curves, and numerous dots augmenting
the letters. Learning Androffan is no more difficult in game
terms than learning any other language—a character can simply
learn it by gaining a rank in Linguistics.
How appropriate for my next language. :)
Since I never actually officially chose a language when I hit third level (I've been away from home for two weeks, without Hero Lab), would I be able to take Androffan for third level? Or is that asking for too much? ;-)
I think you need the technologist feat to work with and use that language.
Further more it is VERY RARE for even a local numerian to know that language, and an non-numerian knowing it is like one in a billion.
DireMerc didn't mention needing the feat to work with it. I've read the same sidebar in Iron Gods, and there's no mention of it there - he quoted it word for word.
As for how my character (reminder: Samsaran) could possibly know it? Two words: past. lives. Dude's got memories from the freaking fall of Thassilon. Vague and indistinct memories, but they're there. In 10,000 years, is it really that much of a stretch to think that one of those 100 or so lives could have been a Numerian?
I'll leave it up to DireMerc as to whether I could take it as my 3rd-level language (really, it was more me being cheeky than anything else). If he rules yes, I happen to have a neato race-granted justification. If he rules no, I'll just take it at next level - and use the neato race-granted justification. ;-)
I'm picturing a Matrix-style "I know kung fu" moment. It's making me chuckle.
and an non-numerian knowing it is like one in a billion.
Latent linguistical feed ^^
Yeah! High-five! :D
A character with the
Technologist feat can attempt
a Linguistics check to decipher
certain complex messages
that appear in Numerian
ruins. Note that many
of these messages are
written in the native
language of the crashed
starship’s crew, Androffan.
This language is spoken outside of
Numeria only rarely, and even within its
borders, the Technic League has tried (quite
unsuccessfully) to keep it a secret language.Androffan: This is the language spoken by the crashed
ship’s original human crew. Some robots in Numeria may
also know it (either in addition to Common and Hallit or
replacing these languages), depending on the robots’ nature.
Androffan cannot be chosen as a bonus language for high
Intelligence without GM permission.
So what I'm getting, from the info you've so handily bolded and the info DireMerc has already given us, is that in order to decipher Androffan, one needs to either:
A) have the Technologist feat and make a Linguistics check to attempt to decipher it, or
B) put a rank in Linguistics (at the GM's discretion, which he's already greenlit) and you can read, speak, and write it.
Which means we're good.
As much as I enjoy this character, I feel like I'm missing a chance to play some kind of tinker or artificer.
Next level only Henric you haven't been exposed to it quite enough to awake those latent memories just yet.
No worries, DM. TBH, I was expecting that answer, just thought I'd be cheeky and ask. ;-) Next level it is!
Updated character.
What happened to our kobolds helpers?
Also would Xaikon be able to make replacement arrows as they travelled to town, have craft skill.
Can we buy items, like to get either a sword or mace?
1. Your helpers ran away when the mine began to collapse. They fled into the kobolt tunnels. Assuming that section didn't collapse as well they returned to their people. (The creature that was taking the bodies and reanimating them after taking out the brains was the plant thing you fought.)
2. Sure
3. Yes
Repair 5 arrows at DC12 with repair costing per arrow: 1 cp (1 gp / 20 (arrows) / 5)
Using improvised tools (dagger)
3 arrows repaired.
Buying longsword, adding it to character though currently adventure is querying places to buy items.
That's fine.
I'd like to stop by Osgood's and upgrade a few items. Do we get any credit on trade-ins?
chain shirt (100 gp)
lt. crossbow (35 gp)
40 bolts (4 gp)
I have 53 gp, so no upgrading equipment for me. I took brew potion so I can make healing sources for the party, but I don't particularly want to be the only one spending the money to do so...
We're all a bit poor, with the little coin the caravan master paid us.
What did you have in mind of buying Henric?
Nothing affordable that will make a difference. I'd rather make some potions. Cure light wounds and enlarge person are both handy things to have.
We started with 180 gp, right? I had a good fraction of that left over.
I got these loot items that can be sold. Though not sure if someone took any of these items.
Short spear (small) 3
Bolas
Longspear
Caltrops (bag)
Sunrods 2
GP 7
SP 30
Half credit for trade-ins?
If you're trading a weapon or armor in for an upgrade I will give you it's full value for trade-in. if your just selling then half-value
