You know, every time I post something, it doesn't show up initially. After I hit "submit", the screen pops to the top of the page, I scroll down, and then it's not there. So I'll refresh it 2 or 3 times and then it pops up. Sometimes I'll also open a new tab and then click on the gameplay/discussion thread to see if it's there. MOST of the time it is but not always. But eventually it pops up after refreshing.
It's really weird. I don't get it.
Same. Not every time and it almost seems to come in cycles. ?
I find that if I preview the post first I do not have the issue, or not as much for sure.
I'm out of town at the moment, so no update sorry.
Should have settled down by tomorrow.
Still away from home so no update again I'm sorry.
I am looking after my Mothers house while she is away on holiday, and running around doing my own chores. So things may be a little erratic for the next two weeks until I'm home full-time.
Mum is staying down the Marlborough sounds with a friend at her cottage. It's a beautiful area and I've been there myself so I'm glad Mum is having a nice peaceful break.
Just googled Marlborough sounds. Dang, it is beautiful. Now on my bucket list! :)
It is Waitangi day here in New Zealand. A public holiday, having a family get together and so no update tonight sorry.
The rest of the week looks good for regular posting though.
Got home late so no update. :)
Sorry about yesterday, I was at my place and couldn't log on?
Tonight I'm at my Mothers but packing up to return home so no update. I can log in here, maybe Paizo doesn't let you be logged on in two different computers?
Normal service resumes next week.
Well after a good chunk of time of this nonsense I was finally able to log in again. Had to finally reinstall chrome!
Had that too, til I did not. Finally cleared itself just before I was gonna wipe browser cashe.

LOL!!! "Poop". Oh man that is so dang funny! Killing me! Oh man such greatness. :D
Oh my gosh you ain't kidding! I'm so tired of that. I swear, every single post I've made over the past several days takes multiple freaking refreshes.
So stinking annoying. I have no idea why these boards are so pathetic about that. I posted something in another discussion thread and it posted. I was shocked. You know it even said "6 seconds ago." BUT THEN, I open up another tab, go to that same discussion thread and it's not there! I refreshed half a dozen times and nothing. So, I go back to the other tab and there it still is. Okay, there it is so why doesn't it show up in the other tab?
So you know what I did to see what would happen? I refreshed the tab that actually HAD the post on it and... yep... you guessed it... it vanished! I'm like: "Are you freaking kidding me?!"
EVENTUALLY, it finally worked but man is it frustrating.
There's other nagging type issues that I wish Paizo would fix but this one tops them all and is the absolute worst.
Dragons are big so I bet the 20 hits. This is the exact scenario, touch attack vs high AC dragons, that makes be believe gunslingers are broken. Gunslingers would be still quite good without this perk... Personal rant here. lol
Hm. Well, you have good hope, inspire courage, haste + fervor and maybe evil eye unlessnit is immune to mind affecting. That's quite good! A side efgect of the touch vs ac thing is that if your to hit isnhigh enough not to need it, you effevtively have no main striker damage feature.
You forgot Flanking. :)
All these great buffs are likely necessary to hit for regular AC on an average roll.
In a long running home game it was the norm for the musketeer to one shot most every boss. X4 crit too. :) At least one PFS special has a musket guy against the party. That was a deadly encounter for players.
Ah, so I did. Well, external buffs only :)
I remember a high level pfs module where the party is ambushed by 4 mysterious strangers with rifles and some fire themed support. My paladin only survived due to walls of force, displacement and the targeted mercy.
Coincidentally, it was also the encounter that convinved me to try and always have cut and smash from the air on a melee character. So that they're not completely defenseless against ranged touch attacks or ranged attacks in general. High level combat can be very nasty and nuke-y.
Got home late and tired. No update sorry.
No adamantine attacks from Luthor. If I ever do use a special ammo, I'll always list it. If nothing is listed then it's simply regular ol' boring ammo.
Edit: I just looked and realized he doesn't even have any kind of cool ammo. All he's got is regular ammo. Well that's pathetic. :P
You can buy some of those alchemical washes - what are they called? - maybe weapon blanches? Covers 10 bullets and can silver, adamantine, and even ghost touch. IIRC not quite as good as the real thing so look into closely.
Hm. I'll have to look into that. Thanks for the heads up on that, I'll check that out.
I've sent Elrys a PM as she is who we are waiting on
No update due to bad health. (Not Covid).
Went to the Doctor today. It seems the anti-inflammatory's I take to deal with my many aches and pains have been ripping through my stomach lining.
Giving me a great deal of Acid-reflux. Which is very painful and constant.
She's given me something to fix my stomach lining, and changed my anti-inflammatory's. Seems to be working as I'm not in pain for the first time in week.
Resting today and regaining energy, sleeping has been difficult when you keep burping up acid in the night to go with the abdominal pain.
So things are hopefully back to normal Monday.
She also booked me in for my booster shot tomorrow when I told her I couldn't get the system to work for me. Very good doctor!
All the best to you, dbh. Get well soon!
Sounds terrible. Wishing you rest and recovery.
I take a prescription strength anti-inflammatory, but sparingly. I am worried about exactly what has happened to you.
Yes. For me it's arthritis requiring the anti-inflammatory. I've been taking one in the morning and one in the evening for over a decade now.
Must have added up little by little. Adjusting to the new painkillers now. They seem a bit less effective. :)
The wonderful part was my Doctor worked it out instantly. I thought it was Acid-reflux but didn't know the cause. She told me the anti-inflammatory was ripping my stomach lining open and prescribed a pill to fix it. Took the first one and the problem went away!
I can eat and sleep again, and burp without feeling acid in my throat. :)
Might need some of those. I have some arthritis as well but I only take a pill twice a week or so. Still I have some "minor" stomach issues.
Auto-immune issues run in my family I guess. My much younger sister has arthritis quite bad and has taken so many drugs that the symptoms are worse than what they were treating. Grandfather pretty much died from it. My daughter, not yet 30, has MS. very mild symptoms so far but not good.
It's a family thing with me as well. My Mother has had one hip replaced and is on the waiting list for the other. Good news is she received her letter and it will be in a month or two.
I've had one knee replaced and the other is showing up with severe arthritis damage. Sad thing is it's my hips bothering me. My bad knee isn't too bad.
My father passed away at Christmas as you know. He had bad heart problems for the last twenty years, though that was more due to his lifestyle rather than anything hereditary. Still took great pleasure in pointing out he still had all his hair and teeth though.
One brother has had real problems with irregular heart beat, but they all seem to have missed out on the arthritis.
The only thing worse than growing old is the alternative. :)
I can totally see Olimpia diving through that wall of gears all in The Matrik and/or Spiderman like slo-mo cool fashion. :)
Yeah :) finding the tiniest gap and slipping through thanks to evasion. However, she'd have to do the fight by herself... unless we somehow get past too. I could try using my only dispel magic and hope i make it? Or we just search the room and then go the other way.
Hmm. Would like to be the hero here But do not want to slow things down. We know how long the wall will last so know when to look for this threat.
With a hasted spring attack Olimpia would not provoke but the creature could ready to attack then we would be trading blows. And if it is ready I cannot easily sneak attack so its's damage would be greater than mine . Also it could grapple or something else I am not aware of, so lets move on. :)
@DBH I wanted to ask somethin; Elrys never rolled for hp as I was unaware of the rule back then that we could take average if we got a lower result. Could I do that now, retroactively? Just in case it might save her from massive damage once.
Well, that was dreadul. A whole 7 hp over 12 levels :)
Actually, that first one shouldn't count. You start out with max at 1st. :)
But I see you have 94 hp's which was what I got too.
Also, your sheet is actually still at 11th level. Just fyi. (Well, your hp's are anyway. The rest of it might be right, I don't know) :P
For one: I've totally got the wrong hp's there. Should be 120. Man I totally screwed that one up. Never even saw it until now. Thanks for the catch.
And I never change that status bar. What I do, is, during combat I put my current hp's and stats at the bottom of every post.
If you look at this post here: Link you'll see what I mean.
He's currently at 97/120.
Having to update that constantly... that would be fantastically annoying. I've got no patience for that. So that's why I put my current numbers of whatever is vital on my posts during combat because that's really the only time it's needed and it fluctuates.
Those numbers are my typical every day numbers that aren't adjusted by anything.
@Elrys. Max HP at 1st level. Roll or take the average after that. You can adjust your HP if you feel the need.
I've never understood those GM's who insist you take low stats or HP? If my character had those they wouldn't be risking their necks as an Adventurer.
A Quick message to my PBP groups: I have an important deadline to meet for tomorrow and will/have been working the entire weekend to meet it. As such I will probably only post very short messages or not at all until tomorrow night, or the day after tomorrow once I’ve taken a bit of rest. Thanks in advance for your understanding. Please bot me if needed.
No update tonight due to lack of time.
No time to update tonight sorry.
Feeling unwell so no update tonight as I'm headed for my bed.
Too busy to update tonight.
I'm off work this week and unlikely to have a lot of time to post. I'll try and keep up as best I can but normal service should be resumed next Tuesday after the Easter weekend.
Easter Monday down here so no update.
Anzac day here in New Zealand. So no update.
had to Google what that was. :)
HA! Oh man we're like a 100 million miles from the bad guys. By the time we get there, we're going to be fatigued. ;P
Gonna wait for Olimpia to move in so *I* know she's in there. It just feels less confusing in a metagamey way that way if she's set up first.
Sorry gang. I've run out of time to day. No update.
Im on a vacation for the next three days, so i wont be able to post.
