Thank you for selecting me!

Ok, team... I was planning on somebody else having Haste... and seems that is not the case, right?
So... Do I change Stinking Cloud(DC 21) for Haste? It is a big change...
Or... Question for drbuzzard... can I buy a wand of Haste with less than 50 charges?

Considering how many melee people you have, I think haste is likely a better bet than stinking cloud.

Wands can only be bought full.

drbuzzard

hey GM, can these can these slaying arrows be refurbished as Slaying bullets for a sling? At 23,000 gp I can buy 10 of them. Oh and how do you feel about inner party fighting?

"heh heh heh"

Borram is a rouge I am applying with to a different game, sorry if the banter was inappropriate, it was not serious.

Having said that, if you'll still have me, happy to be in another game with you. Mondays are awful for me so I'm going to need a little time to put together my slayers gear, oh and a name and a quick backstory. will be ready to go within 24 hrs.

Didn't realize that was you. Doesn't matter, I want the slayer in, so you're in.

Also, I don't imagine we'll actually start playing for a couple days. I have more reading to do, and character builds probably need revision.

That is exactly what I feared, but the build is done to maximize the Stinking Cloud DC...

Thrilled to be selected. I've got my guy's purchases written down at home, but I think I could make an alias today.

Maria, feel free to make that swap.

I will have avatar up after work tonight. I am fairly certain that I have everything done on character, unless I can convince you to give Swashbuckler the same boon as Fighter, having Reflex as only Good Save is hard :)

Thanks

Actually I will give the swashbuckler a good will save in addition to reflex. I rather don't think any martial class should be stuck with one good save and the worst of the lot, which is reflex.

Yeah, it was the one serious drawback that everyone harped on during the playtest and yet they decided to not address it.

Well they did put in that charisma to save bonus, but honestly it is pretty crappy.

OK, this is Digger's character. Anyone see anything I need to change?

I'm curious why you are in the banded mail. You don't have heavy armor training. Without it, there's a pretty big penalty.

Nicely done... A Dual Dagger wielding cleric...
Maria will keep near him... And Vanish will help him move to flank, and get the enemies Flat footed.

I see that mistake a lot, the Mithral makes it one category lighter for most purposes, but not for proficiency. You still need the proper armor proficiency for the original armor type. Go with Mithral Breastplate, the money you save can add one more enhancement bonus to the armor so you don't lose any AC and now your movement isn't reduced and you have a higher DEX bonus allowed to AC.

Galahad0430 got it right...

Oh, wow. I thought clerics could wear heavy armor.

That was changed from 3.5 in Pathfinder.

Yup, I see that now. Oof. OK, lemme redo some stuff.

OK. Swapped the mithral banded for +2 Mountain Pattern Armor, Ring of Protection +1, Amulet of Natural Armor +1, a CLW wand, and a Cloak of Resistance +1. Thanks, guys, that's actually way better. Anything else?

You're in Taldor, not Tien Xi. The stats are the same for a breastplate as that and you save 50 GP.

(Mountain Pattern Armor is an eastern armor).

Hello there

Dotting in, i was asleep and woke up long enough to check things and this was nice surprise

Will take a look at everything soon.

Ah, gotcha. I didn't realize that was eastern. Cool, change is made.

Hello everyone! Now that it appears we have someone else to do traps and the like ill be changing up my build abit.. Hope you dont mind Buzz.. Gonna go with a Grenadier instead.. Ill still pick up Healing bomb for back up heals though..

Question.. I saw someone do a drawback for an extra feat.. We can do that?

Agile weapons are unusually well balanced and responsive. A wielder with the Weapon Finesse feat can choose to apply her Dexterity modifier to damage rolls with the weapon in place of her Strength modifier. This modifier to damage is not increased for two-handed weapons, but is still reduced for off-hand weapons.

Double Slice
Benefit: Add your Strength bonus to damage rolls made with your off-hand weapon.
Normal: You normally add only half of your Strength modifier to damage rolls made with a weapon wielded in your off-hand.

drbuzzard, Before I finalize my slayers feats I’m exploring the use of “agile weapons” specifically magical shortswords. If the character also has the feat ‘double slice’, since ‘agile’ weapons are “still reduced for off-handed weapons” does double slice allow you to also add your full dex. Bonus to damage rolls made with your off-hand weapon?

I will have the character ready tonight or early tomorrow morning.

Yes, you can do drawbacks for extra traits (not feats).

And you can change to grenadier.

Ok i think ive got him switched over the Grenadier.. I still need to recheck wealth and such cause i didnt purchase some items i had before..

Im a little hazy on crafting alchemy things such as alchy fire.. As im prob gonna be using these can yall help me out creation times?

With swift alchy i can craft in half time.. By increasing dc by 10 he can craft faster as well.. With all this in consideration, how long to make 1 alchemist fire?

This will be RH's slayer. Unless double slice works with Agile weapons dex. bonus, I will play him basically as I rolled him up, except his ranger style will be Power Attack, I'm not sure what his last feat is. I'll work on it tonight with his gear and be ready to go in the morning.

Avatar up :)

This group is hella stabby. We gonna cut dudes up.

OK, I assume you folks read the intro. One important thing to note, is don't get cocky. The encounters are not necessarily CR appropriate at all times. Sometimes running is the only survivable option. Keep that in mind.

Sorry missed this earlier. Doesn't look like it since the feat does say strength.

Your only missing a bit of damage in off hand.. You could pick up the dex based power attack and not have to dump stats to get a 13 str too btw.. From reading the intro and playing old school like Keep on the Borderlands it will be more impt to be well rounded that a glass cannon.. Last thing we need is a super macstabby getting dominated because he has a +0 will..

Str 10
Dex 17+2 race+1 level+2 belt =22 still nice damage..
Con 14
Int 10
Wis 12
Cha 10

Just a friendly suggestion :)

Yeah, that's what I thought, not sure if I'm going to work two-weapon fighting in or not.

Archaemedes, thanks for the input your right, don't want a glass canon, cool term by the way, I'll keep some strength because I hate not being able to carry my own food and I'll dump the cha. just because I don't want a cute and cuddly Halfling. Hopefully will be posted soon!

read the intro.. must say this will be interesting.

at least I made will my second good save so it may be a little harder to dominate me.

yer still a Peck...Peck :)

That's what the clear spindle ioun stone in my wayfinder is for :)

Oh, I should also bring up my little house rule of no resonant powers.

May be tweeking klor

May drop the sr and go back to standard dwarf ability of save bonus

Just noticed the Camp info tab house rules.. Ill need to up my skill points..

Oh, well that changes things :)

Don't mean to be difficult, but honestly a lot of the resonant powers are just over the top.

Doesn't bother me, I'm cool with whatever house rules. You don't mind if I switch items then?

Wish I had the gold for seducer's bane bracelet that item is awesome. ...

Yay more skills!

Guys, I can't wait to cook at camp. PROFESSION CHEF ALL THE WAY.

We're not started yet, so everything is mutable. Once everyone has a character and alias ready, we'll get started (though I still have reading to do, damn first floor has over 200 rooms).

I feel like I am behind, Tribim's page is done except for purchasing incidentals and putting in his back story. I'm thinking "I was born a poor orc child". I didn't get it done last night at work, I was busier than I expected. I will finish buying incidentals once I read the intro. and then add a brief but touching past history based out of the Warrens in Kaer Maga, yeah that's all I have so far.

Ok, silliness aside, please take a quick look over him, any glaring errors PM me. I decided not to go two-weapon yet, I can always add that at 8th level when I might be able to afford a +1 agile kukri.

Does it bother anyone, other than me, that I have no idea what a resonant power is?

Lol.. Does it bother anyone that my backstory is "I venerate Pharasma?".. Because thats all I have..

I like to throw bombs as well..

In all seriousness when a GM tells me he wants good, well rounded builds and nice post rate over backstory i take it literal..

Any Jerk references are more than OK with me, Trib.
