Kharn would like the adamantine greatsword, but he would rather spend his money on a wonderous item to increase his strength and con.

You could prob swing both with a small loan.. The belt crafted would be 5k, the sword was 5k something.. You have almost 10kgps..

First, no, that's how illuisions work Aku. You don't say the ground beneath an illusory wall sets of a will save because it's not interacting with the wall. Just the same as you don't say a hand shake on someone using an illusion to change their features sets of a save.
Secondly, if the group wants me gone, the group wants me gone. But you are a brand new DM who agreed to run -this group- through the game. It is not your decision to oust me from the game, especially when you're bending the rules to punish a characters skill.

Hey there! There’s a big system delivery planned for next week for our company branch in India, a Project I’ve been struggling with for a couple of months now.
Alongside with that, we are moving an entire project from testing to Live servers, and I’m the one responsible to help with this transition and solve any issue that may (and believe me, will) appear with it.
I still have some things to finish before we are ready to do this, and I’m sure I don’t want to be the one blamed for any delays, and thus because of that, things may get a bit tricky for the next weeks, coupled with university terms starting as well next week.
Anyway, I’ll try to keep posting to at least 1/day. However, if you don’t hear from me for a day or two, I blame the events that I described above.

Well, he just killed the whole point, since we were holding a 'group' vote.
Guess he did not even read what we said. :D
Anyway, big sum up:
Seth wants back in? Sure I don't mind.
But he has to apologize for the things he said and keep the complaints for a minimum and with justified reason.

Sorry about that, it's just hard to hold a conversation between an entire party in only PMs and we don't have each others personal contact info.

That's all I can ask for. Thank you Aku.

I do have quite a way with words, both as a person and through that as a character, but I chose to play as Lil for two reasons:
A) I've DM'd the first book and have glanced at the second, so I have a lot of knowledge that a typical player for this book should not. Therefore I'm playing somebody who's so absorbed in her own world that I can still have rich roleplay without worrying about metagaming.
B) It's so fun! She might have one of the most interesting personalities I have ever created, as her detachment from society has completely estranged her.

GM Aku |

Yeah, I liked Lil a lot. :)
Well, I'm trying an evil character myself.
Just got in a kingmaker game and I'm the only evil person in a party full of CG and LG.
Anyway being familiar with evilness for a long time, since the DM is always the villain in the history, I have some not so conventional plans and I think it will be really great.

Vladamir Orlovsky |

Vlad's current situation has me nervous.. I suppose I shoulda asked around about the place before walking into a bastion of holy battle nuns..

Lilpinny Marfedelom |

I've been talking with Seth and he won't be returning. With that in mind, do we intend to recruit a new divine caster? Although the idea is tiring, I think we've spent more time in recruitment than gameplay for this game...

GM Aku |

Thanks Lil.
I must confess I'm tempted to write a very long and mean message for him, saying some hard truths.
But, what would be the point?
Anyway, since I think that any kind of 'contact' will only upset him more, give him my best wishes and good luck and thanks for playing with me, even for a brief period.
@Recruiting
I'm tired and busy those next weeks, I would like to avoid a recruitment since I'll not really have time to give it any real consideration. If you guys want, I trust you to create the thread and recruit in your own terms, but I have a suggestion: For now, Seth can become an NPC, which will be controlled by me or by the party.
What do you guys think?

Lilpinny Marfedelom |

I must confess I'm tempted to write a very long and mean message for him, saying some hard truths.

Don't. There's no point in escalating things. Plus he's a long winded writer, so you'll get a novel back from him.
The idea of Seth being an NPC is fine with me. I don't want to recruit because I don't think our party is full enough, it's just that the closest thing to a divine caster we have is Vlad.

Lilpinny Marfedelom |

I think to help alleviate our lack of divine casting, when we reach level 7 I'll take the leadership feat and pick up a cleric cohort. Not only will it cover that issue, it is also perfect because I'll get access to divine spells to further my undead army. Muahahaha!

GM Aku |

@Lil
Don't worry, I'm not planning on spending any more energy and time with Seth.
@Leadership
In my other games, I set some 'house rule' modifications for leadership, here it is.
Also, there's this one more bit of modifications we did over time and it may interest you in this game as well. Take a look.

Vladamir Orlovsky |

Sorry if I'm taking to long on this.. I thought it prudent to try and find out as much info about this potential problem in the future.. Im going to try and wrap it up soon..

Lilpinny Marfedelom |

I think that's a fair ruling for Leadership, although I do believe we could manage handling multiple cohorts since we're on the boards and not on a tabletop (although I don't know if anybody else intends to be taking Leadership anyways).

GM Aku |

@Vlad
I don't mind, I'm used in other games to keep 'pages' of role play between players and NPC's. Usually I'm more active to answer. Sorry. ^^"
@Lil
Well, what about taking Seth as Cohort?
The cohort thing only really applies if the player want me to DMPC the cohort, and when I write that, almost a year ago, I was fairly new to the boards. Today I have a different opinion.

Lilpinny Marfedelom |

Yes, that was my idea. Seth is a very well developed character and I would love to keep him on board. Let's just not level him up, and at level 7 he'll be the perfect cohort level for me.

Argan Midnight |

So it seems everything is back on track. I'm sorry to see another change, but well... s@$& happens...

Kharn the Binder *Cleaned-Up* |

Well looks like a few things have changed, but things will happen.
On another note, I like those rules for Leadership as Kharn had basically considered that a useless feat for himself, but now I am seriously debating if Kharn will pick it up or not.

Vladamir Orlovsky |

Just saw this hit the Archives of Nethys so I figured id let yall know if you didn't already.. So nice stuff.
Check out Vile Leadership since we're on the subject.. I think it works much better for us..

Vladamir Orlovsky |

After level 11 Ill be able to pick it up for some followers as well. I also get a decent amount of thralls and can dominate to add to our numbers at some point.

Lilpinny Marfedelom |

There would be some RP there, but Lil would get nothing accomplished beyond just spending some time with him so I have no qualms with skipping it.
Once we hit level 7 I'll pick up Vile Leadership.

Lilpinny Marfedelom |

There's a problem where the boards won't allow me to create a new alias, but I'll get the whole statblock prepared under an old alias I don't use anymore so I can just copy it over when they get the problem fixed.

Argan Midnight |

Internet issues indeed. How did you know?
