Sounds good Voiceless. Is that 5000 gp each? ;) ;) 'nudge, nudge'

Has Sentis had enought ime to teach Baran one of the Trick pacakges?

Safe travels and enjoy your holidays. Ill be ready to go on the 11th.


Minor Crab-beast

Heh - nope, 5,000gp to share among yourselves... nice try though ;)

With the downtime, assume that you have enough time to catch up on any time related issue - such as crafting, or scribing, or training, etc.


M half-orc Rogue 4 (acrobat) / Ranger 1 (falconer)

So the players guide gives me the following information....

The following favored enemy selection
make excellent choices for rangers in the Serpent’s Skull
Adventure Path:

Spoiler:
aberration, animal, humanoid (charauka
or human), magical beast, plant, outsider (chaotic
or evil), undead, and especially monstrous humanoid.

I think we should have scroll(s)

Spoiler:

or something for spells that let us by-pass animals.....
Invisibility to animals
"....." undead
animal friendship
etc.

by the numbers....

Spoiler:

aberrations 53 critters
animal (very numerous, but other means)
humaniod (human) other means charm person/sleep, etc
magical beast 78
plant 32
undead (extra damage is good for DR)and we have no paladin/cleric)
monsterous humanoid 29

Any chance we can have our cool tomes of niftyness from the ruins awaiting us?? I imagine learning the techniques inside would take some time and thus would be a good use of our current dowtime.


Minor Crab-beast

Short answer is yes.


Male Keleshite Magus(Kensai Archetype)/5

There's a longer answer??


Minor Crab-beast

Longer answer would involve RP through your second meeting with Holmburg, etc. - which I can't do justice to on holidays.

So you'll just have to assume that the translated books arrive by courier and you can start reading them - and able to master sufficient for benefits within the downtime.


M half-orc Rogue 4 (acrobat) / Ranger 1 (falconer)

See everyone the 11th!

Decided to name my bird "Skylar" unless that is too cheesy!


HP AC , CMD , Fort +, Ref +, Will +, Bombs , Init +

from anyone elsy that's facepalm worthy. From Grusk it seems completely fitting :)


Male Keleshite Magus(Kensai Archetype)/5

Roll call! Whose still here?

Got Grusk and Doc, is Kaavel still around? What about Sentis? Hopefully Dark will be able to rejoin us.


Male Half-Elf Martial Artist /4

I am still around.

Sorry DM Voiceless

Shameless Attempt to get more people:

I currently recruiting for a home brew I made trying to get people to look at the thread. It is the Blood of Heroes Thread in the Online forum. Not putting link because I do not want to upset DM Voiceless who is also making a character as of last time I checked.


Minor Crab-beast

Kaavel - no need to spoiler it, I don't have any problems with you advertising other games openly here if you want to. Spread the gaming love around!

Check out his Blood of Heroes recruitment for some nice hi-power fun :)

....oh, and still here :P


Male Half Elf Wolf Shaman 5

Sentis and his faithful canine friend reporting for duty.

...heads off to check out Kaavel's game...


Male Human Fighter 4

Hey squadmates! Guess who's back on the internet after the weirdest few months of his life?


Male Half-Elf Martial Artist /4

You missed a lot. Kaavel has hair now, Sentis has a wolf, we are getting Kaavel golem armor. Grusk has a hawk named Skylar.

I was factually still here forthe hair and the wolf. The rest is news to me. I'll have to catch up over the weekend lol


Male Half Elf Wolf Shaman 5

Welcome back Cort.


HP AC , CMD , Fort +, Ref +, Will +, Bombs , Init +

We've determined that Grusk is actually a minotaur due to his mother's proclivities.


Minor Crab-beast

Don't forget the lime green pimp-wagon!

Waves at Cort - howdy and welcome back.


Male Human Fighter 4

Ahhh!!!

DM Voice your new avatar is terrifying. That is all.


Male Half-Elf Martial Artist /4

I had to fight that thing in an AP give two guesses which. Was not a fun time.

If Doc's my dad and I am half cow that means my mother is a cow.....hmmmmm!


Male Human Fighter 4

Wouldn't surprise me. Grusk has always seemed a little "horny" lol.


Male Half-Elf Martial Artist /4

Good old bad puns.


HP AC , CMD , Fort +, Ref +, Will +, Bombs , Init +

Naw, ah wouldda been yer dad but th' cow beat me over the fence. Damn mah short legs!


Male Human Fighter 4

So. I got hit by a car...

I'm ok, a bit banged up, fractured wrist, couple cuts. But since I lost a chunk of ring finger I probably won't want to type much at least for awhile. So I guess you don't have your arrogant swordlord prettyboy back yet lol...

Gotta love life throwing terrible crap at you.

Best few months ever.


Male Half-Elf Martial Artist /4

That sucks man, well let me put up how I view life.

Kaavel's Rules of Life:

Rule 1: S~$& Happens.

Rule 2: Life is Not fair.

There is a rule 3 but will sound douche if I put it up.


Male Changeling Fighter 1, Monk 1, Rogue 1, Ranger 1, Actor 5

Sorry to hear that Cort.

Hang in there. Lots of vitamin E and protein will speed up your recovery time.


Male Human Fighter 4

Ok, thanks to bandages and copious painkillers. I'm ready to post. My personal thought (if Voice approves) is to simply retcon Cort into having caught a nasty bout of Malaria in our last mission, with it not showing up until back at base camp, and thus being left behind by the squad. Someone could come visit me as I finish up recovery.

Forgive me my typos due to aforementioned bandages and painkillllers.


Male Half Elf Wolf Shaman 5

Sounds like a good hook Cort. Glad to have you back. Take care of those hands man. You only get two.


Minor Crab-beast

Cort - hook is fine if you'd like to work that in. Don't forget a certain figurine either ;)

Ok - I am now safely ensconced back home in KL after my month break, and will be kicking this Campaign back off into regular service. I'll sleep off the jet-lag and cantankerous toddler torment tonight and get the next in-game post up come morning.

Looking forward to re-introducing old friends and spinning off into the slightly cyclopeanized Serpent Skull to come ;)


Male Pale Master

Awesome news Voiceless!


M half-orc Rogue 4 (acrobat) / Ranger 1 (falconer)

Ready!


HP AC , CMD , Fort +, Ref +, Will +, Bombs , Init +

I'm not ready! I have a bunch of armor to make, a wagon to pimp, Grusk's mom to visit, and concoctions to brew! Augh! Notimenotime!


M half-orc Rogue 4 (acrobat) / Ranger 1 (falconer)

I think it is funny Grusks mom is a cow an Doc has projected proclivities onto a poor animal to excuse his own liberties and forays into......


HP AC , CMD , Fort +, Ref +, Will +, Bombs , Init +

Read again, good sir. Never once was it implied that your mother was a cow. Only that she took them to bed. Them and Dwarves, apparently. Odd lady.


Male Keleshite Magus(Kensai Archetype)/5

So what exactly did each of us learn from those cool tomes.

And how much gold did we get each? Kinda forgot to split it, lol


Male Human Fighter 4

*Whistles* just waiting for someone to come visit my bedridden ass :P


Minor Crab-beast

The gold was 5,000 in total from job completion, up to you to split. There was also the loot collected while on the job.

Technically the tomes aren't back yet :P - but the details are back towards the start of the current gameplay thread and discussions thereafter.

Blaze's was originally put together before you became a magus - so is likely open to some adjustments.

Cort - feel free to join in the fun straight away if you like, no need to wait.


Minor Crab-beast

Darkbiter - you are free to re-enter the game if you feel up to it.


Male Keleshite Magus(Kensai Archetype)/5

Thinkin about what I could learn from the book, and one thing I would definitely like, if ok with you Voice would be to have my Arcane Pool increase as if I took the Extra Arcana Pool feat.

Beyond that, not too sure, but I'll keep thinkin on it.


Male Changeling Fighter 1, Monk 1, Rogue 1, Ranger 1, Actor 5

Starting up a combat-heavy gladiator game Here

Come take a look if you're interested.


Minor Crab-beast

Doc - I know what you mean. In the piratical PbP I'm in here I play a lame curse halfling Oracle. We were in a pub and the guy we came to meet did a runner.

As the others took off after him, I just shrugged my shoulders and sat down to eat their food. 15ft move speed hurts sometimes...

Blaze - if that's what you'd like then that's fine by me.

I would hope that's not all I gain via the book, but if so, then I'll take it.

Does anybody know if there's a way to gain Acrobatics as a class skill at this point, beyond taking a PrC? Originally, I was going to take Duelist, but the Kensai Magus is pretty awesome solo for me, so that isn't really an option.


Male Human Fighter 4

You could take Additional Traits and get an acrobatics adding trait.


Male Changeling Fighter 1, Monk 1, Rogue 1, Ranger 1, Actor 5

there aren't any acro adding traits. I've scoured for them. If there are any, they aren't in the SRD.


1 person marked this as a favorite.
Minor Crab-beast

According to Archives of Nethys there is but one.

Captain's Blade (Andoran)
Source: Guide to Society Organized Play
You were born on board a ship and learned to fight side-by-side the sailing men and women of the Andoren fleet. While on board any vessel afloat on water, you gain a +1 trait bonus on Acrobatics and Climb checks. One of these skills (your choice) is always a class skill for you.

Blaze - would a swift action arcane pool ability from the book to give acrobatics as a class skill be interesting to you?

Use a single point, which makes your feet look like they are on fire and gives a +4 to Acrobatics for 1 min/level.


Male Keleshite Magus(Kensai Archetype)/5

Yes, yes it would.

So I gain Extra Arcana Pool along with this ability as what I learned from the book?

Also,
were you planning on having our special abilities scale with our level at all?

Finally,
I forget, but did you approve of my idea for extra fire/light spells known via that familiar angel thing we discussed before your holiday?


Minor Crab-beast

Blaze - yeah that's fine, extra pool points plus flaming dancing shoes ;) They are intended to be fixed bonuses.

For the familiar, that will have to wait until we get back out on the road. You'll have an opportunity to run into a being that may be sympathetic to your cause during the next chunk of the adventure.


Male Keleshite Magus(Kensai Archetype)/5

Until I can come up with a cooler name, Fire Feet has been added to my special abilities

Just curious, how would you feel about adding a +10 to my speed using that ability, either on top of the bonus to Acrobatics, or as a choice when I activate the ability?
