Here I am!

Question from casters (I believe)
Are spells out of the Core and APG books available?
I'm willing to link every of them from their "paizonians" origins.
ElderScrolls_GM |
What do you mean? Like a list of ones from CRB and APG only? If that is what you are asking-
On your spell list there will be a marking next to your spells- the "only ones you can use" (I'll hear out any spells that don't change rules/ aren't annoying if you take them from another game) are from the CRB / APG and have those 3 letters on the far right of the spell's name.
If THAT is not what you are asking, my apologies, please rephrase xD
Nessus Gris |
For example; Haunted-Fey-Aspect is a level 0 spell. As a wizard and not being that spell belonging to an opposition scholl, I should automatically learn it. But that spell comes from the Ultimate Combat sourcebook. Paizo, but not Core or APG.
Do I learn it? There will be exceptions for other spells?
That was my question.
ElderScrolls_GM |
That can be done on a case by case basis,
I know in my skype matches using only CRB / APG spells was a little f$%@ing annoying. Magic items and Equipment they have more than enough of, so I wasn't worried about that BECAUSE there are so many items, and that + hero points you will be awarded will eventually make you guys ready for the final fight (which I think I may put at the difficulty of a Balor Lord, unsure right now still)
Uno mas :)

So, what your character will be at higher level?
Nessus is going to take some crafting feats (maybe 2/3), then metamagic feats (same quantity) and a bunch of spell mastery (In Oblivion, it happens to be stripped of every piece of equipment).
Obviously he will be focusing on illusion, and he's going to build a castle a third invisible, a third illusory, and a third mundane.
In case of assaults at my home, my opponents are going to be quite confused. (There should be a wall here and there isn't, there shouldn't be a wall here and there is. WTF is that?)
ElderScrolls_GM |
Wellll "higher level" specifically? Maybe.
But, hehe, after Hero Points, awards, commanding crews, and... well, I don't want to spoil all of it, but-
I'm pretty sure even at Balor Lord its ass will be kicked :)
Long way to get there though- first I have to see if "I've fought MUD CRABS STRONGER THAN YOU!" <3
Nessus Gris |
I need to be 7th level to spam permanent illusory walls, and 9th level to summon walls from the earth and make them invisible with permanency.
Not too far.
By randomly frenzying bandits, I made one of them attack a mudcrab, saying that phrase, then die from its attacks. Hilarious. I do casted fortify strength on the mud crab, but who cares?
ElderScrolls_GM |
Bends-the-Willows!
So glad to have you- all that is needed is your background and guild choice while I type up what you see and how stealthy you are (bunch a f##!in' stealth guys :P)
I'll double check your character sheet too. A fifth person said they were interested in joining in my PM's, but I do not see them now, so we will probably officially start tonight/ tomorrow ish.
ElderScrolls_GM |
FYI-
I personally get annoyed when a GM, on top of controlling multiple NPCs and the entire environment, feels the need to also take control of PC's as well to "herd them" or lead them into a certain part of a plot.
Just so you know, I'll be doing that as little as possible/ if ever.
If I ever misinterpret something your character is doing, please let me know as soon as you see it!
*gives you all a cheesy thumbs up*
Ah, and in case anyone was wondering- there will be 4 of us only, no fifth party.
Nessus Gris |
I finished my Google folder.
It's just with basic (Spells and equipment).
It can be freely accessed by pressing "Relevant stuff" on my character.
If there's something missing, please inform me.
I also use this post to say (as I presume you could have noticed) that I'm not English/American/Australian/Anglophone. If there's a misunderstanding somewhere here, in the past or in the future, let me know that too. Also errors of any kind.
Thank you in advance.

Evelyn-
Since you hail from Skyrim, a huge arm of the Empire and where the original emperor who established Cyrodil's empire came from, I'd still say it is pretty likely you know essentially everything needed to know about the Amulet! :)
I see what you mean in your other comment, though, ahaha, my mistake on misreading what you were saying!
Nessus Gris |
I actually live in Kvatch.
Nessus Gris |
I buy a scroll of color spray, whenever I have the chance to reach the Mystic Emporium. I also pay 10 gp to copy it.
I take 10 on the check, resulting in a 10+4(int)+3(class skill)+2(specialized)=19, against a 16. Done.
Nessus Gris |
Yes I am!
ElderScrolls_GM |
To get to Kvatch will be 3 days of travel from Weye.
You will pass both Chorrol and Skingrad on your way there, as signs will indicate at pre-determined parts of your journey.
A day will be broken into 3 events- these are events I randomly pre-roll to decide what happens. This includes realistic weather, encounters, loots, etc.
I will allow essentially any dungeon that is in the Oblivion game to be accessible to you-
The # of dungeons / caves you will see on that day's travel will be determined via a survival check.
Places of significance, mainly just Inns and friendly encounters, will be made known to you without survival/ perception rolls <3
ElderScrolls_GM |
So I have pre-determined dice rolls to pick what enemies you guys fight at each level etc. etc. etc.
Who would believe that the dice rolled f++%ing mud crab on the first shoot? LOL.
Ah man. Now things will pick up- sorry for the monologuing before hand. Just setting the format for how things will go in the future during travel etc. <3
Nessus Gris |
I have some problems with my Internet connection. 3 days of pain. Sorry about that.
ElderScrolls_GM |
Nah, just still getting used to how you all play, making sure no one is excluded in decision making etc.
The group dynamic will become more and more important as the main plot unfolds, especially after each of you come back from doing guild work with your chosen guilds.
Nothing wrong with quieter characters, just making sure it isn't *me* that is silencing them, LOL
ElderScrolls_GM |
Fa'zakar, though for YOU that attack roll stunk, it's level + that awesome reflex save for the Goblin allowed me to do something completely awesome to introduce the fight!
Now you do still have some darkness and you have cover, enough to qualify for a re-try on stealth to their perception for anyone that wants to attack the archers below.
Obviously once the 4 come up the winding stairs to the balcony you will no longer have cover or darkness concealment to their darkvision, but the archers will only have a guess at where you are.
Nessus Gris |
Choose the best option:
1) "Color spray" the charging goblins, by dropping to the ground unconscious they let the archers shoot their arrows. Still a lot of coup-the-graces.
2) "Silent image" the archers out of view. I am then in front of armed goblins.
They both need a Will save, but seriously, they are goblins!
ElderScrolls_GM |
Well first-
The charging goblins are no where near the archers.
The archers are staying put, so it looks like this
*Goblins, in first turn, will be in and up the stairs, second round they will activate the trap and reach you guys.*
Stair well is 15ft. wide, so all three of you can stand next to one another or staggered, and only 3 Melee Goblins *should they survive the trap* will be able to attack at once.
X = Balcony edge

Color spray would probably work best right after the trap, as that's a pretty powerful spell and allows you guys to get rid of the archers on your right in the meantime.
These goblins are a little over powered in means of checks, but their HP is a joke. This is your GM's true test of seeing how combat will go with you guys and how far I can push the CR at each level <3
Combat when you guys have your followers is going to be ridiculous lololol
Nessus Gris |
I'm concerned about that 20 on the bow, that's a x3 multiplier.
Nessus Gris |
Next action; illusion of a wall to block archers or coup-the-graces the unconscious goblin? I provoke in any circumstances. I need to maintain concentration for the wall, and an attack forces me to roll for concentration checks. On the other hand, the goblin won't do anything for a while. Also his AC below zero!
-2 from blinded, -2 from stunned, 0 to dex score (-5), -4 from prone. We've got minus 3! Plus armor.
ElderScrolls_GM |
Lol I did not even look up the combined effects once I saw he failed the will save.
I advise, based on how those last two attacks *evelyn and Fa'Zakar* missed, Nessus, that sounds like a reasonable plan.
Evelyn- the damage is built into the weapon for this play through, and the build of the Goblin.
Would you believe each of these Goblins are given a 1/3 CR rating each, lmfao.
Evelyn Mastercroft |
That blows me away. The only way that I'm familiar with to get damage on a bow is through weapon specialization, being a high level fighter, a mighty composite or magical bow, and point-blank shot. I guess it's just weird to me that his attack bonus is so low also.
Anywho, it's no biggy. They need a 20 to hit me while fighting defensively and I'm thinking about smiting the leader so I can keep it up and not get knocked unconscious. I'm supposed to be the tank! XD
