I am running it as-is. From Stealth:
"Creatures that fail to beat your Stealth check are not aware of you"
If that doesn't work, then neither does Invisibility (it has no special clause that makes them unaware of you).
Too bad Im 90% sure these arent living creatures otherwise I would have rolled for temp HP.
You would be correct, nothing here is alive.
YEah near the End I Expect Friction to be Cruel and LifeSurge as well and play up the Temp Hp route.
So now we have a little under 13 days to playtest the classes through two more phases of levels.
Yeah, probably not gonna happen.
But we can at least get through level 10. Level 10 is a key level, I think. We may even be able to get at least partway through a 15th level test.
Normally I would say the same save like 90% of my stuff dont go off until 12th or 16th level so I need to get there to see them. It's fine though, I just want to actually get to use the abilities, otherwise they become wasted space.
We'll try to get there.
BTW you should try to post in Postapocthulhu.
*Final Boss battle music plays*
Ah.. it hasnt been updating on my side! Dammit. Luckily i got the day off I'll see what happened and postify.
Oooooooooookay, so there is actually a Round 2 for the Playtest this time, so I'll need everybody to update their sheets based on the new Playtest document.
Good thing I don't need to do s#!+ since Avenger still sucks.
They didn't change anything Avenger-wise?
I haven't looked at it yet. Note: They updated teh wrong Playtest document, the Occult Adventures Playtest contains the updated Vigilante Playtest for some reason.
Eh? Looks like they updated the right one to me.
Then they fixed it. There was some discussion on the blog post thread earlier about it.
Yeah I have the right one, they made Armor Skin give you full movespeed eventually, at 8th for medium, and 16th for heavy. That's the only change. THE ONLY CHANGE.
Still bad fort instead of reflex.
Still D8.
Still bad To-Hit.
Still no Damage Amp.
Ouch.
Nothing on my side changed save for damage. I made my opinion on the main Round 2 thread. The Bolt got subtly/overtly nerfed.
Can't you Rapid Shot with it now along with TWF? Shouldn't that with arcane striking end up being a slight boost to damage?

Hidden Strike's full damage got buffed to d8s, and Up Close and Personal does d4 strike damage even if you miss the Acrobatics check.
Am happy.
You still suck at hitting. So go back to being sad.

Basic math shoots you down there ESPECIALLY if the creature has any sort of resistance. You dont have to look hard at the difference between using say, 3 attacks at 10 for 3d6+30 vs 6 attacks at -4 for 6d6+30. Every +1 to hit is +2 to damage roughly. And level 10 actually helped out the new one because up till that point you are doing 6 less damage and ALL of them have to hit.
Picking Social Talents though I am not sure if that will change anything for this portion (10th level) of the playtest?
Yeah, it won't. Kind of a bummer, I would have had you schmooz at the party if this had come out a bit sooner.
Exactly, btw I assume we know of where about the sewers he may be or do we need skill checks?
Skills! Skills for everyone!
Anyone have Survival? Kn. Local to know the sewer layout is also applicable.
Or, take several hours searching the sewers blindly.
Hrmm, Why do I feel like the villain here is Lich-Joker?
The creature I have in mind is much nastier than a mere Lich.
>Implying a Lich is mere
For anyone who is wondering, this was a Red Jester, an undead creature that throws the Deck of Many Things at people.
I substituted the Harrow Deck of Many Things just because it had more options.
All effects of this will disappear by the start of the next playtest (if there's still time?) so you may as well use that Wish to smite the Ghast or something Cube.
Despite the outcomes, this could have just as easily gone the other way, with lovely effects like "The character's body disintegrates. All that remains are his items and a glowing gem containing his soul. This gem is worth an amount of gp equal to 2,500 × the character's level. A resurrection or stronger spell is required to restore the character, and doing so destroys the gem."
Or "The character cannot gain another level in whichever class he currently has the most levels. This effect can be circumvented if the character is killed and returned to life, but the next time he is restored to life he is affected as if by the spell reincarnate, regardless of what spell was cast."
Or "Once per day, the character can communicate as per the spell speak with plants and have a plant truthfully answer any single question. Using this ability upsets the surrounding flora, however, causing 1d4+2 shambling mounds with the advanced template to erupt from the earth and attack the character, regardless of the surrounding terrain."
That last one essentially means you'd have to fight more of those things you fought in the sewers.
Man, I thought it would be worthwhile to save the wish. I guess I can still get the +1 bonus.
Tell you what, I'll let you use the Wish to whip up a new plot hook for round 3 if you want.
The Wish can take you anywhere in time and space by its nature, so we go where you wanna go. Or "accidentally" call in a creature you want to fight (Woo Balor Lord woo) and I'll build the 15th level around that. Something along those lines.
You could erase an important historical figure from time and we can place you in the dystopian present or something.
Yes, wish away the Third Reich so we can fight Robo-Hitler.

Personally I'd rather fight Mecha Genghis Khan.
Mein Gott. Let it be done.

Please, Android-Ras Putin is where it's at.
But we've already killed him once.
-Posted with Wayfinder
Only once?
So, it appears the playtest is over.
Do we want to continue this for s~!%s and giggles, or end it?
Im cool with Shiggles
I'm fine with continuing.

Hit me.
Okay so Blackjack is dead but the rest of you want to go on?
NOT SO FAST!
I use my wish to change the past so that the GM hits himself with that attack!
Poor Rogue we knew him well.
No! Do you know what you've done? That means-
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
