OK, now that we are getting started. Can I have everyone go to the campaign tab and check the templates for dice rolls and confirm I have the correct modifiers for you. If there are any situational modifiers, please state what those are so I can add that next to the roll for referencing.
example:
Secret 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10 (+4 vs. aliens)
Thank you, Deathless! Good team name. Because I had nothing.
Edit: I just remembered this and wanted to say: Man you obviously can't go wrong with a Bruce Lee title. For some reason that sounded familiar but I couldn't place it until a few moments ago.
Good call, bud.
@Deathless: Okay I gotta ask. Is that really your name? It really seems more like a moniker. Just my take on it though.
Anyway, just curious if that is the case or maybe he has a real name and you're just keeping it hidden. Because my curiosity does get the better of me sometimes. :)
He does in fact go by Deathless because he is embarrassed by his real name. If you'd like more background info, it is in this profile. I had fun writing it.
Rolls all correct. You might want to add the +2 vs Evil to Saves from Angelic Blood.

No that's totally cool. I thought it was a 'nickname' - for lack of a better term - of sorts. Cool.
One more question: WHAT is Deathless? Is he human? (I tried to find it on your sheet but I'm just not seeing it. I also have a terrible habit of overlooking things and it just wears me out so I simply give up). :P
Ooops! Can't believe I forgot to include that. He is a half orc.
Is Deathless evil?
No. He is strategic. His best contribution to the group is his durability. So, the more people he aggravates before the match even starts, the more likely they'll target him first. This hypothetically gives his allies at least one round of their awesomeness before they know any better. Plus, I did pick up Antagonize, it seems a little fitting as well.
I suppose that I should add, if you feel I am being a bit too...irreverent with Deathless I can tone it down.
oh it's fine, I was just curious about the alignment earlier.
Once I get your signatures and team name, then we start.
I sent a message to Deathless to see if they are still with us. I'll give them til Thursday to respond, then I will assume they are MIA and will see about filling someone in.
My apologies to all for my tardiness. GenCon took more of my time than anticipated. I will be able to post very regularly starting now.
I think Darnak is suppose to be in R 24 since he charged the tiefling, correct? Typically I put that in there but for some reason I just flat forgot.
Having checked our saves, I think the stone should go to Ahnika, more so if she has the Fate's Favoured trait.
I agree with Wong about the stone. Darnak's saves are solid and although I haven't looked at anybody's saves, I trust in Wong and his judgement. :)
That is not the best of moves :P
Indeed, her saves are a bit underwhelming as of now...
Thank you guys. Next three items are all yours! (besides, it they happen to be weapons or armour, Ahnika wouldn't need those anyway)
Due to the recent forum issues we have been set back a lot. I'm gonna pace the game a bit slower until we confirm everything is back to working and all players are also able to post.
Mother of God! I'm back and need my drug!
The boards are randomly working for me. I posted in another discussion thread and have tried again about 3 times or so and have been kicked out. They're still a mess.
Seems we're back, aren't we?
Here
Accounted for and ready.
I'll have your post ready later this afternoon. I have to GM a live table right now.
Still here. I've been on vacation and have been out. Will be able to post normally again when I finally get back. Hopefully Thursday but probably Friday.
Would've let y'all know but as we all know the boards have been up and down and I left during this downtime and couldn't post.
Sorry for any hassle.
If I can enter Dragon Style then that's what I'll do. That's the swift action I want to do. Scratch the other one. Which is the Ki defense so a 29 AC.
Ahnika, you there?
Any recommended moves you want Ahnika to take, so I can NPC her?
a buff if it is the start?
I'll second that. Buff sounds fine with me.
I will post tomorrow.
Do to the lack of communication, Ahnika will be replaced. I have no desire to NPC that character. I am putting up a recruitment thread and the new player will be assumed they are part of your team and will pick up where we left off at. If for any reason you would rather keep Ahnika, then who would like to NPC her for the table? Let me know so I can get the recruitment up.
sounds good to me
Recruitment is fine with me as well.
OK we have a recruit, when they are ready they will pick up where we left off at.
Hello all, I have followed your gameplay thread to the current situation and am working out a character build shortly. If my first choice is no good I am open to team suggestions on what would work well with the group.
I'll throw this character's metaphorical hat into the ring.
So how will putting me in work?
Yeah just take your turn and you're set.
A ninja. Cool. Never seen one of those played. 'Course, I'm not in a ton of games either so that could be why. :P
Welcome! by the way. :)
Thank you, I figured it fits the setting and its not a perfect character since I've rarely played a high level ninja before. In hindsight there was a new archetype I should have taken that increased some combat abilities in exchange for some of the being harder to track and such abilities.
EVERYONE always over optimizes for this tournament for some reason. Every table I have ever seen is the same. So don't worry about how optimized you could be, it's not a hard module. So no worries there.
Yeah I kinda figured it hard to do bad with level 11 so long as you can contribute something useful or fill a unique niche. I am sure there will be some moments were my tools will be the perfect ones for the situation. If nothing else I'm going to have a blast roleplaying a ninja.
Well, it almost asks you to optimize. A championship, 9th level... It's like telling you to play the build you've ever wanted to play at the level you always wanted to play it.
11th level but yeah I understand. So looks like its gonna be a long time before at least half the party get a turn...hope you can snipe it good Hou :D
Pssst Hou, don't forget to list any damage types your shots deal for purposes of resistance or reduction.
P.S. Daaaamn thats some nice damage and shooting.
It's all piercing, I think. I didn't use the Merciful cheese just in case the thing resisted non-lethal damage.
Honestly, I know the Arsenal Chaplain is a very high DPR choice, specially when going archery. As I said, it was very tempting to have the chance to try this build at a level where you don't struggle to survive against a pair of goblins. Several times I've tried to play this and never got past 1st level.
As a note: you might have all noticed that I keep calling him Wong. Hou is actually his family name, and Wong Xia his personal name. I don't have a problem with you guys calling him Hou, I just wanted to let it clear in case you thought something was weird about it :D
