Takin' the Spire Higher! (Inactive)

Tharkan ready to bite and chew more things!

Please note that his offhand wrist sheath contains his newly acquired wand of long arm.

Wow, what a great spell. Especially in combo with the aberrant bloodline. It's not even polymorph effect.

I have a gnome bloodrager in play - i'm imagining 15' reach in a few levels now.

Actually it's an even more amazing spell for the Arcane bloodline. After being toe-to-toe with a spellcaster, he can't just 5-ft step then cast without incurring the Disruptive bloodrage power (and later Disruptive, Combat Reflexes and Spellbreaker feats). Tharkan is designed to be a caster slayer.

I've had a death in the family, I do not know the schedule. I don't think it will affect my posting much, but I wanted to make sure everyone knew if I miss a day or something.

:(

We're just about finished with this level. If you guys could give me some Day Job rolls and if any are doing the land rush, decide which hex you'd like, I can start working on chronicles.

Torque will take D2.

Profession Merchant: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Sorry to hear that James... Take care of the family, we'll be here when you make it back.

Sorry to hear that James. (I must have missed it earlier.)

Do what you need to do, we'll be here.

Day job: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

Be well dude.

perform: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11 Meh

Oh, hey... can you use a GM reroll on a day job? Seems unlikely I'll need it for anything else.

Well, looking at campaign version 6 I don't see anything specifically forbidding it.

I haven't done that either.

Star Reroll: 1d20 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 3 = 17

Back from the hospital here. I'm sorry for your loss, James. Take any amount of time necessary, of course.

As for Tharkan, he doesn't have a day job (yet). I might take a rank or two in Profession (dungeon chef) next level though!

No djob, thanks for running! 22357-30

Yeah, real life bid-ness > pbp. Best of luck, man; do what you gotta do.

Everyone should have Chronicles PM'd to you. I am waiting to report the session until the fix the reporting tool.

All lebeled up and ready to go!

I am mostly leveled. Tektite, can you by chance recommend a good language to pick up?

Tharkan has taken 1 rank in Profession (cook)! Now he won't just eat the things he kill raw, but he'll cook them... and offer them for you to taste! How can you refuse him? ;)

I, for one, welcome our new Evil Overlord..uh I mean cook.

I was really looking hard yesterday for something feat or trait that involves eating sentient beings, but all I found was Urgathoa/undead stuff which doesn't quite have the same flavor

I think cannibalism is one of those things that Mike Brock highly suggests is an evil action and the writing staff tends to agree, thus why its almost entirely nonlegal and they seem go try to. Urgathoa and a few Goblin traits are good for that. Digging through Faiths/Champions of Corruption might turn something up.

Oh, sure. Evil weevil certainly (although you can find real-life examples of various groups practicing cannibalism in various capacities for spiritual/metaphysical reasons. And then there is Heroes...) But, it's worth a shot looking for something anyways :)

Xenon's remark makes me think that I haven't asked how youguys felt about the whole "eat everything" stuff with Tharkan. If that's a problem for anyone, please let me know and I'll tone it down/find another roleplaying angle.

I have no issue if you keep it like you have been (i.e light-hearted).
I find it no worse then, say, Trey Parker and Matt Stone's Cannibal, the Musical (which is admittedly not a musical to everyone's liking.)

If you manage to find a way to offend me in any sizable standing, I'll need an address to send a trophy to because of how utterly dedicated you'd have to be to do that successfully.

Fun Fact: Nirmathi Gnoll chunks left to stew in Cure potions makes them roll more big numbers. This is a science fact courtesy Gobport ~ Goblin porter.

Xenon sits at my face to face game on Saturdays. We just finished Way of the Wicked, and our table has no censor. It would be pretty hard to offend me as well.

Not offended.

I am extremely offensive...oh wait.

Alrighty then! Let's rock this fourth level, there's (hopefully) meat to be cooked.

For the record, Tharkan's bane (despite his recent acquisition of an adamantine blade) would be a level filled with uneatable creatures, such as golems.

If you think it's uneatable, you're just not trying hard enough. Boil it MORE, call it a stew.

Nuh uh; you suggestively censored us about Hailing Satan so loudly.

Will actually level... Soonish. Haven't sat at a computer that wasn't writing up an excel document for inventory usage tracking in a few days.

"Loudly"

I have neighbors, and no one was grasping the whole "inside voice" concept. Lol.

Your neighbors are just prejudiced against Satanists, do ho ho.

I am leveled now. One more level and I get me a Giant Centipede or something. Yay, Dungeon Rover!

Go for slug! Also, no bard song for it until you drop a point of intelligence into it.

I withdraw my language question. I realized if I just take tongues, when I cast it, itwill (more or less) last the level. I'll just take a racial language. Ergo, I am lebeled.

I have leveled to 4.

bought 2 oil of bless weapon

My fame isn't enough to buy an efficient quiver and I don't have enough to buy the Mithril chain for armor. Although I am not sure I should spend a lot of money into the mithral chain line since I am going to hit it's dex cap pretty soon, I think. I am not sure the path on upgrading it to get to Celestial Chain, but I have time.

Memorial service is later today so this evening should be back to normalish.

I am highly dubious that you lack the funds to buy a mithral shirt, even after your +1 composite bow and various oils (and the wand, assuming you didn't use prestige to get it). Over 3 character sheets, we've made (I believe) 6,645 gp. A mithral shirt is only 1100 gp.

Bow (2700) + Wand (750) + Oils x2 (100) = 3550 << 6645

But, maybe I did my math wrong. Or maybe you are using the half-rate progression values?

With the mention of celestial armor, perhaps he means mithral chainmail?

Ah, chain mail not chain shirt. Yes that's a bit more pricy.

Well, now that I understand James question, I did a breakdown on armor options(none of which he can afford now)

Working assumptions:
1) James will probably make a dexterity of 22-24 in the Spire (lets say 24 with a dex belt +4, for +7 AC from dex)
2) armor training 2, which will also raise the dex cap on the armor.

With that in mind, here is a comparison. Assume +3 armor, to put it all on equal level with celestial armor.

1) +3 mithral shirt: AC 7 + Dex 7 = 14 points; ACP 0; 10,100 gp
2) celestial chainmail: AC 9 + Dex 7 = 16 points; ACP 0; 22,600 gp; has fly
3) +3 mithral breastplate: AC 9 + Dex 7 = 16 points; ACP 0; 13,100 gp
4) +3 full plate: AC 12 + Dex 5 = 17 points; ACP -1; 19,500 gp
5) +3 tatami-do: AC 10 + Dex 7 = 17 points; ACP -1; 19,000 gp (but if he wears this, he's in danger of feeling silly and awkwardly non-genre appropriate)

I don't think you can upgrade mithral chainmail into celestial chain; celestial chain isn't actually made of mithral.

You can't upgrade mithral chainmail to celestial armor. See here.

Yeah, sorry meant Chain mail. Not that my AC is all that important in this group, but I want to try to keep it reasonable. I bought the wand with PP, haven't really used a charge yet, can't even use it but others might need it.

I did not buy the bow with PP, although, probably should have, live and learn.

Anyway...I put my first training point into Dex, giving me 19, so I am still at a 4.

Are we on a set hiatus from this game, or simply waiting for folks to level?

No, we are waiting on me. This week has been hectic, due to some family medical issues. Out of town and posting from mobile, but will update shortly.

Ah, no worries. I am perfectly OK with the delay, I just didn't remember anything said to that effect. Family, health, work, and peace of mind are hard things to juggle :)

I hope everything's fine for you, Tektite!

It happens Tek.

I am away on vacation through Sunday the 5h, with unknown internet connectivity. Bot as necessary.

Could you break down the "door panel" thing again, I'm a bit confused.

The magnet pillar has 6 slots, and they match some "door panels". I think I missed where door panels were discussed earlier. Are these in the same room, and something we can open?
