Ah, should have ended before the spoilers. That would have been more interesting. Amir might have called me cruel again though.
Hey, we broke 8K campaign posts. Huzzah!
Someone did an analysis of how long the PbPs last and I think ours is like in the 10% or lower category (of games that get to this many posts, most die way sooner)
Edit: I only call you cruel in a fun loving way? lol
Congrats to all on 8k, only 2k more and we hit the magic 5 digits.
Pretty sure this is my 2nd longest and 3rd most posts. One had about 14k posts, in only 18 months, and DM Harpwizard's campaign is about 3 months older than this and just passed 11k posts.
The amazing thing with this game is that we are still 3 of the 4 original players and the original DM, that is probably a record on these boards the way players, and DMs, appear and disappear at random.
Oh sure, call out the fact that I'm not one of the cool kids. :P
Freedom of Movement would last 80 minutes.
And not everyone can be a cool kid, but you are allowed to hang with us. So that's something :-)
New Kid is a relative thing. You have been here 16 months and are pushing 500 posts. As far as cool goes, well, you are an orc, so I do not think that Kzrira will be debating you on that.
I kinda wondered if Proteans would even have a True Name being all chaos and found this in the Monster Summoner's Handbook:
"Truly chaotic and primeval creatures, such as
proteans and qlippoth, have no true names, and individual
aeons, if they have true names, may have more than one."
Perhaps Lahapraset was just enjoying a moot argument with Karethas.
Lol - yeh, and being pure chaos, I do not think that they could be bound by an agreement anyway. Although obviously someone (aka the all-powerful author) figured out how to do it, otherwise they would not be stuck here.
one more camping trip for the summer. Be back Wed.
Have fun!
Mhhhmmm summer time camping. Burn ban here in WA so its almost not worth going without the promise of a campfire. Sorta wrecked my kids summer promise of smores, lol. Enjoy!
Ah, whats the worst thing that can happen with an illegal campfire out west? So you burn a few hundred thousand acres. Nothing major.
Will be out of town and away from Internet until Monday the 31.
Feel free to bot me, as needed.
Apologies for the short notice (I've only known for sure about 20 or 21 hours myself.)
The week before school sucks for school counselors!
I have little doubt of that.
The first week of school also sucks for counselors :-). I'm here, but you guys are handling the talky stuff.

Actually, they have Kzrira doing the talking. This is sort of like hiring an ex-NFL player with several concussions to do your taxes, or hiring a blind person as your driver.
Sorry if my posting is a little slower than in the past. I got a new job and think that I should avoid posting during the day to avoid something foolish like losing the job.
no worries. I think we've all been a bit busier with the change of the seasons (and start of school for a couple of us)
I know the feeling. It's the whole reason I've never bored a hole through the firewall blocking me from getting here.
Firewall? Blocking? I don't think these guys have any clue about stuff like that. It is more that if I get dragged in, I am in trouble, with myself.
Can you prepare any of those spells that replenish arrows as they are used? I only have 40 of these adamantine arrows and would like to be able to shoot as many as I can when we fight the shaitan.
That rather depends on whether Voodoo is enforcing the massive nerfing that the errata did to Abundant Ammunition, such that it no longer works on special materials.
Oooh, nerf? I like nerfs. They keep things interesting. RAW Huzzah!
40 really ought to cover it anyway.
Wonder if there's a way to talk our host into using the Shaitan ability to trasmute metals (for a day) to make our weapons adamantine?

I don't think that she's ever actually fessed up to being a shaitan.
Kzrira should carry him. It's based on your carrying capacity. I don't think Karethas could even get him aloft.
Varkata can carry him, no? just awaiting confirmation from Amir.
Fine by me.
Kzrira will 5' step back if possible, not sure if we are still flying or how this will work. She will draw an AoO if necessary.
Oh yeah, flying. I'm going to require fly checks for some actions.
Remember that fly spell grants a 1/2 CL bonus so +3+dex-any armor penalties for your skill bonus if you don't have ranks.
I'm going to require a hover check for full attacks so Fly DC 15. This could include a 5' step if you like which would allow you to avoid an AoO.
I will be make use of this 3pp supplement if you have any further interest.
It's mainly about flying cavalier archetypes, but the optional aerial combat rules are nice. You don't need it, I'll tell you what you need to know, but I found it a nicely done supplement.
I'll be out of town this weekend -- starting tomorrow, and until Monday.
Okay, straight up I have been having a s!$!ty couple of weeks and my brain is melting. I am not alone in being surprised that this person is here right? This is not what we were expecting?
This is Kakishon. It laughs at your expectations.
I am totally fine with THAT I was actually more concerned I was supposed to expect this and wasn't, lol .
Hey, this is completely different than usual. Kzrira did not "shoot first, ask questions later".
Amir - Hope you get everything back together. We have already lost 1/4 of our incompetent band, not sure if we can find someone compentent replace our thief/fighter/face/skill monkey without dropping the average age by several decades.
No, I also wasn't expecting a leonine creature here -- but figure it never hurts to be nice to it. At least at first.
Yeah yeah. My roguliness endures in all manners and methods. I'll not so easily disappear. Just a rough spell is all.

Kzrira- been over this before. Hover check required for a full attack while flying. You cannot 5' step up because ascending is a double move, but you may just stay on platform and 5' step away.
Then she will 5-foot step away. I figured that with Fly in effect, she would pretty much be hovering just about the ground since it is magical flight.
The spell is fly not air walk. You must maintain minimum air speed to stay aloft just as if you were flying with wings.
The description of Locate Creature says you can locate a specific kind of creature if you have seen one within 30ft. Which we did when we met with the other proteans.
It cannot find a creature of a certain type. To find a kind of creature, you must have seen such a creature up close (within 30 feet) at least once.
So, hopefully, the proteans are of the same kind as the ones we encountered earlier.
Type refers to general category: Humanoid, Aberration, Outsider, etc. That is how it is referred to in the Beastiary. It is not perfectly clear, but kind would seem to indicate race, species or whatever.

That's my reading: you can't look for Outsiders, but could locate Proteans.
Proteans (demons, devils, archons, etc.) make things messy.
I mean, I knew I could search for a human (for example) because that's the actual kind -- whereas, my reading was I could do, for instance, "Balor", but not "Demon" (because demon is a subtype).
Having said that, going with what works. :)

hmmm, good point. Protean is more a genus than species. 'Kind' is really rather unclear. Nonetheless, I'm pretty ready to wrap up this book so all for letting it slide.
actually, now that I think about it- you were looking for the same kind of Protean that you spoke to before; an imentesh protean to be specific.
