Hey guys, I'm on a short "tour" out east with one of my bands for a few days, so posting is gonna be a bit spotty during that time. I'm still checking in and will post longer things when I have wifi, but will try to get shorter posts done while in the van. Anything to beguile the tedium of a journey across IN, OH, and PA.
Sorry to hear about the fire Min. DRA you *know* you want to have a tour in north florida ;)

Actually we (The Dark Clan) just played Tally last summer, it was a great show. We played at a rad venue called the Engine Room. I've played Tampa and Miami and J'ville as well, but those were all with Stromkern.
Holy smokes, your hair is crazy. Using your band website, I added you on Facebook, by the by.

Ahahahahaa, yeah I can be a fright. It belies my softhearted interior. Saw the request, accepted it, of course! :-) Now you get to have my musical blatherings in your friend feed you lucky dog.
Ok question for everyone. I've seen in some games where the casters casting attribute is added to damaging spells is this something we are doing here? Want to know if I'm supposed to be adding that to my spells or not. Definitely won't be upset with having a +5 to my damage ;)

I recall some of the classes/prestige classes from 3.5 that did that but nothing from Pathfinder. DM?
That was my belief as well that it didn't work in pathfinder, but I saw in DRA's Mists of War game Kyras added +5 to his corrosive bolt spell. Which I'm assuming was his charisma modifier plus his +1 from draconic bloodline sorcerer so it. Has me confused.
Draconic bloodline adds +1 per damage die. A spell that does 5d6 would do an additional 5.
Ah and now the veil of confusion is lifted I thought it was just +1 ok never mind then :)
Ok trying to figure out a few things on flying combat. Since both Livain and I use our own wings to fly if we are hit we need to make a dc 10 fly check right (which doesn't matter since we both can make that on a 1), but what about the make a 45 degree turn by sacrificing 5 feet of movement how exactly does that work and the hover and less than half movement check?
Another thing I am curious I have Maiathreen with a high acrobatics to avoid aoo....but while flying would I use fly to avoid or acrobatics? Also if it isn't mentioned what your fly is as in clumsy, good, etc. is it just assumed it is average with no modifier? Last how do the different speeds work? Could I move 30 feet on the ground and fly for 40 feet in one turn? Getting these questions out of the way before it comes up in combat.
Bump on my questions. :)
Yes - Creatures without a maneuverability rating are assumed to have average maneuverability and take no penalty on Fly checks.
I would ask where your race is from since I own a bajillion d20 books and could possibly find's fly maneuverability xD IF it isn't a self made character~ ~BUT~ I don't want to spoil anything as I haven't even looked at your character sheet and such. Trying to keep it a mystery.
The different movement types are supposed to be used individually. Now if you did two move actions in one round, you could move 30ft on land and then take off to move 40ft flying.
For the questions on flying: You generally need only make a Fly check when you are attempting a complex maneuver. Without making a check, a flying creature can remain flying at the end of its turn so long as it moves a distance greater than half its speed. It can also turn up to 45 degrees by sacrificing 5 feet of movement, can rise at half speed at an angle of 45 degrees, and can descend at any angle at normal speed. Note that these restrictions only apply to movement taken during your current turn. At the beginning of the next turn, you can move in a different direction than you did the previous turn without making a check. Taking any action that violates these rules requires a Fly check. The difficulty of these maneuvers varies depending upon the maneuver you are attempting, as noted on the following chart.
basically the whole turn 45 degrees by sacrificing 5 feet of movement, I think works along the lines of...
Your speed is fly 40ft a round in a straight line but if you deviate to take one 45 degree turn which would just turn you slightly to the right. you can only move 30 feet straight and 5 feet in the direction of the 45 degree turn. Maybe i'm wrong but thats how I look at it. you turned slightly and lost 5 ft of movement that round.
I could see acrobatics being used in some complex move or attempt on your part, as long as it fulfill's a requirement in the use of the skill or DM DRA sees it as applicable to what you are trying to do.
Syl did a complex maneuver by jumping off her dragon and attempting to impale her opponent with her lance while falling.
Are we ready for combat? Everyone rolled Initiative?
we do not have an actual division on special arrows, I have the totals on my sheet and we can assume that our longbow users have divided them up, I know I would use some and Min as well, but not sure who else?
Unlikely we will burn through them that fast anyway!
When ever the fight is done with Maiathreen and Livain would probably want a few though at the moment neither of them know you even have those arrows.
Are we ready for combat? Everyone rolled Initiative?
You're GtG now, Dolo and Mai are still speaking but I can roll them into combat whenever, feel free to strike at will.
For the Enhathladi arrows, feel free to use them as you will for now, just so long as the group doesn't exceed the total that was given to Min, and then you can do a more precise divvying up as needed later on. But to Min's point, I agree that you guys would have had plenty of time to spread the arrows around and decide who got what, etc.
Really though it's just Belsarious and Min who'd be using the arrows right now, yeah? As long as Syl is an invisible DMPC there's no reason to give any to her.
Also, BTW, all these arrows will only work for Min and Bel, and not with the shortbow. That has its own ammo, which is normal.
It's a lot of fun to play Damian, both to simply be a good guy and to deliver these massive hits.

That hit was EPIC! Nice job!
Don't mean to break off from combat like this but if we can secure the artifact then it should be a quick return to helping everyone out.
Although I expect a LOT of fun in obtaining the artifact so Belsarious will need all the help he can get. =)
edit: very epic hit there Damian =), glad you are still able to lead the way on damage dealing! xD.
Yeah, man, that was a brutal slam. If Sir Damian is a glass cannon as mentioned elsewhere, then thus far he's been much more cannon than glass.
Also, I like using Enhathladi arrows, too! >:-D
I think a cannon would deal less damage.
This campaign is uniquely suited to his strongest attribute. His 23 STR helps a lot.
I can't deal nearly that much damage to one person, but I certainly can spread my damage out quite nicely....until I run out of spells but that is a problem I shall deal with when it happens. Also Damian has quite intimidated Stryke (the swords personality) something about killing an elemental.
I'm holding off on posting until the others catch up. He'll probably spend round 3 traveling rather than smiting.
Returning from hiatus. I'll be coming back one game at a time as my workload balances out for a new semester.
It's good to return to you all as a part of the group, and I'm catching up on all the events that have occurred.
AS for your massive hits, Damian, it was the last thing on my mind when I made Syl. I made her out of pure flavor and style, fitting the class levels to her life and the changes that occurred around her. It's how I make characters nowadays, fluid and roleplay-filled!
Well, I'll sit out of combat until its over, and we'll see what's changed. I think I need to level or something? Don't remember if I read that here or somewhere else. xD
EDIT: Actually... if you don't mind, I might jump in...
Welcome back Syl =)
Yes welcome back to the party hope everything is going good with classes.

Yup! Level on up to 7.

Aura of Courage

Could we with a ring of feather fall stop flying and make it to the ground in one turn?
Only if you want to risk trying to slip it on just before you hit the ground... >.<; ouchies....
Unless DRA rules otherwise I see the ring working as stated. I'm not sure if you need to be attuned to it for 1 week or if you quickly slip it on while falling then it would activate as well. Tried looking up the rules but most of the time it is stated with each individual ring.
Let me know if i'm overstepping myself here DRA. This is just my opinion and not the try facts of what may be allowed in the campaign. =)
Both Maiathreen and Livain are already wearing theirs.
Edit: Nevermind just reread the ring for some reason I thought it activated at 15ft above the ground.
Understood I was just looking at some of the rings in the PFSRD and some say 1 week attunement like my ring of sustenance. The ring of Feather Fall though doesn't seem to state the same requirement, so theoretically you could dive bomb and at the last moment slip the ring on and come to a safe slow drop just above ground level.
I think anyways lol ^^;
Ok something I noticed that I haven't quite figured out. With the target word "mass" that allows me to pick out the targets in a 30 foot radius right, or is it each target can be 30 feet from the next which is a little scary? Pretty sure its the first.

The feat at this link is what you would need to exclude people from your area effect/mass spell. As I understand it...
If you effect a 30ft radius area with your spell then both Allies and enemies are effected by your spell. Your magic doesn't differentiate between the two. Just like fireball will hit everything in its AoE. Tried to look up more about just 'Mass' spells but I believe they fall under the same guidelines.
Edit: also it just effects an area around 30ft from where you designate the spells point of origin, some spells say you can target people, places or objects. Such as the silence spell can be placed on a person or on just the ground.
MASS
Level all 1; Cost 2
range medium (100 f. + 10 f./level)
The spell affects up to one target per level of the caster, no two of which can be more than 30 feet apart.
Power words rather than normal spells.
oh my bad I asw 30ft radius in your previous post and assumed. Sorry about that. xD
I'm not sure how the chain lightning like spells work, I need to do mroe reading. lol I was familiar with Ninn's spells but she didn't have anything like that. =)
Oh and just to be clear i'm not trying to be a rules lawyer or anything, I am not like that I just like to help clarify if I can but more or less I know maybe 30% of how pathfinder works over 3.5 even though they are very similar. Its the minor tweaks that throw me off sometimes. ( ^.^);
Oh no problem here, I find the more often I read the rules the more I realize I don't know :)
Same here! Or when I read them a second time, I discover that I somehow skimmed over something important the first time -.-; drives me nuts. lol xD

I read this as the latter - as long as the "next" target is less than 30' from the last one.
Its even more fun when you build a character and realize their build doesn't work because you skipped over a rule that completely changes the way you thought a feat worked.

If that's right then it certainly gives me a very large area though now I wish I had just kept blasting the archers. Oh well if they pop back up I will just remind them to duck again. I am the groups crowd control apparently with all of the aoe spells I can cast (especially if it works that way) hoping they have a few more battlefield control spells when the book comes out.

Technically you did it is all in the ic thread now ;)
Ahahahaaa! Nice.
You guys the posting you're doing in the IC thread is absolutely awesome! Keep it up!
It's hard for me to keep up when I see 30+ posts every time I go to post... Guess I just need to be around more! =P
In the meantime, this semester is closed, and next one starts Monday - easier classes, though!
hmmmm it just seems this month is a bad month xD. If you don't see a post tomorrow that would be because my laptop charger has epically failed on me.... I will use my phone to keep up but I won't be able to see any spoilers tabs or anything or load up web maps because I don't have full html support.
But I will see what happens... Hopefully I can get another charger or else I will have to get a new laptop >.<; which would be spendy since i'm a gamer lol.
Anyway I will be around, i'm not out yet =)
