Yeah, barkskin! hello, amulets of natural armor. :)

Caladra Fighter 1/Barbarian 2

+9 HP (HD + CON + Fav class)
+1 Fort
+1 BAB
Skill points in: Intimidate, Perception, survival, Acrobatics
Feat: honestly I don't know. I'm torn between more AC by going Dodge and mobility, or continue her anti-magic stance and go Iron Will (also cause I want Bear's Balance)
Abilities: Uncanny Dodge, Rage Power (Superstition)

For the sake of argument, I point out that there's quite a bit I can do to help your AC with the spells I've been preparing (barkskin/shield other/shield of faith) but not much I can do to help your will save. (Maybe I should start prepping protection from evil instead of 2 blesses... I'm gonna mull that one over for a while). Although, eventually, I'll have a Community Domain aura that allows other people to use my saving throw instead of their own if the effect targets me and others simultaneously.

Hopefully that helps you make your mind up. :)

Plus Cyrioul kinda made me smile when he mentioned the amulet of nat armor. maybe turn my new necklace into one. I just know that the iron will will also increase my chance of saving against friendly spells while raging since I'm having Caladra go an anti-magic route. I really wish I could take the spell penetration and other anti-magic feats that fighters get.

@Caladra: Thorek is going to be working towards the full reach-weapon-battlefield-lockdown build, using his dorn-dergar and AoOs to limit enemy maneuverability. So if we stick relatively close to each other I should be able to keep you from getting swarmed too badly :)

I can sort of help with Will saves in a level or two. Also, I should have my level up soon. I just need to go through my character because I get so many things at level 3.

lol. see, at the thing with Caladra the way I've been playing her is anti-magic cause I remember there being some awesome anti-magic feats, but they're for fighters. Well... Disruptive and spellbreaker mainly. Shatterspell i get cause its a rage power.

edit: apparently disruptive and spellbreaker are rage powers too...

I'll go iron will, cause of the bear's balance feat. I just like the idea of someone trying to scare Caladra and she rages cause she's pissed at them for trying.

Cyr, what language was that last post in? :P

I wonder if I hit post at just the wrong time for the Paizo server? So weird.

Lily has finally been updated to level 3:
HP Increases by 7
Gain 2 spells learned because I forgot to increase it last level up. Learned Disguise Self and Vanish
Increase in BAB
Gain Ranged Feint, and Improved Feint
Piercing Strike: If you successfully feint an enemy you are staring at increase Stare damage to 1d8
Painful Stare Damage increases to 1d8+1 or 1d6+1 if I hit.

EDIT:
Im updating the inventory sheet so who took the belt of incredible dexterity?
EDIT:
Also do we have any daggers? I would like to use them instead of the bow

@Thorek had grabbed the belt at one point - looks like that on the spreadsheet (scroll way down).

EDIT: Also, yes! We have 4 daggers. Found them at Oreld's.

Also, Cyrioul would like to have a conversation with the other spellcasters about how to best share the use of the Pearl of Power. He's ok with not holding it, but if there's a situation where it would be helpful for him to have it, he'll ask for it.

Yeah so I need to fix my stats. For some dumb reason I thought I had the belt but that's an easy enough fix. Also, I'm going to take the daggers.

Oh! I will give up the belt no problem! We even discussed that Lily should have it, I'll go remove my name from it once I'm home.

No that's fine. I was just confused because I checked your inventory on your character and said nothing. I just wanted to ensure we were complete.

dammit, I forgot got get Bree sign language. Please remind me at next level!

Kudos on the ultimatum to Edran, Cedric! That was a great write-up. :)

I got the Lands of Conflict sourcebook last night, so I have access to the Militia System rules that are recommended for the Ironfang Invasion AP.
They're essentially an updated version of the Rebellion rules from Hell's Rebels.

Before we commit to it, though, I wanted to gauge everyone's interest, in case you all think it might be too difficult to manage a second tracking sheet and accompanying rolls.

Woot, spreadsheets!!!

Seriously, I’m open to trying it out. The other one is pretty stable at this point. So long as we don’t lose any other townsfolk, it won’t need tons of maintenance, right?

Always fun to check out the subsystems. You,l have to let me know what you think of it compared to Hell’s Rebels.

I am interested in giving it a try at the very least, though in my experience subsystems don't work suuuper well with PBPs.

normally, I would agree with you Thorek, but I think Cyr loves it enough that he might be able to make it work :)

GM - think it’s worth me picking up that book?

While I don't have a lot of personal desire to learn or use the system, I don't object to adding it if there are others who are more interested and willing to take point with implementing it in play.

consider my vote as "New York abstains, courteously"

@Cyrioul, I wouldn't want you to have to shell out the extra money just because I wanted to try out the book.

Honestly, I would like to try the militia rules, but I can take charge of the record keeping and rolls for it to keep things simpler for you guys.

Sounds good - $16 for the PDF seems a little steep. I love that part of Golarion, but I’m good without it.

As for record keeping, I don’t mind giving it a go for now. If it gets to be too crazy, I’ll let you know, and we can say that Cyrioul farms it out tto a trusted townsperson.

I'm feeling similarly to Cedric re: militia rules.

On another note, my apologies for the unexpected absence...had quite a few things going down this past week. I will...try to catch up! (47 posts! Wow!)

I personally like visual aids, so I did a Google.

Short version: it's pretty!

It's funny, I actually knew what this was out of character before we had any other info. I just ran into a two of these a couple of weeks ago in another game (the Ruins of Azlant). Someone at Paizo must be a fan of crysmals

Just want to check in and mention that I'm good where I'm placed, and don't really have anything different to add until the situation develops a little more. Don't want to be holding anything up

So let's bust down the door?

Yep - blow the hatch!

Hi, all - just a note that on Wednesday I'll be flying back home with my toddler. Combat posts are a little easier, but if you need to bot me, go for it. Being sickened for the entire fight is just going to make him cast grease, but if the trogs all clump together he might try a glitterdust blast.

Hi. Sorry for a lack of posting but I've been having issues trying to find the campaigns on the site.

heh, if I wasn't paralyzed, I had been thinking of trying to throw some crystals at the trogs and call the crysmal to dinner. I wonder if he'd let one of us ride him like a mount?

I'd be willing to trade the +1 earthbreaker (I don't know who would want it besides Caladra though) for the Belt of Con +2. The extra hp would make my d8 more manageable and I'm going to switch back to my dorn-dergar ASAP.

Hi, all - birthday today with family in town through tomorrow, so I'll try to post later, but feel free to BOT if it'll keep things moving. Have a good one!

I thought I posted this already, but apparently not. I don't have a problem with Thorek having the belt of con. It'll help him keep up with Caladra taking half damage regularly. I have no idea when we'll get a chance to sell anything, but unless someone else wants the earthbreaker, I would suggest Thorek might as well continue to hang onto it too.

agreed

Yup!

I'm working up a Militia Worksheet to help keep track of that aspect. I'll share and add a link once it's finished.

Sorry for my lack of posting, all. A show I'm directing is opening in 8 days, and I've been more swamped than I expected to be. I'll try to keep up as much as possible, but please don't hesitate to bot me if need be!

Oooo, have fun directing! :)

Thanks! :)

I've added a link for the Militia Worksheet at the top of the campaign page.

Thanks, GM! This is a crazy week for me, but I should be able to take a look in the next 48 hours, then get more familiar with it soon.

we're a militia now, are we? delusions of grandeur indeed :)

by the way, the dead villagers rising from a mass grave... totally cool move
