This is the new Discussion thread.
Having shoulder surgery today, so I'll be offline the rest of the day, and don't hold much hope for tomorrow. Bot as needed.
Hope all goes well!
Good luck.. May the blessings of Cayden and Pekko be with you
Hope the shoulder surgery goes well. Don't think I will need to bot, but will if necessary. The party will be travelling mostly.
surgery went fine, but one handed posting is a bit of an issue. Working on how to do things given the sling. Will resume once that is resolved.
Glad it went well:) Takes me two hands, feet and my nose!
If Stephen hawking can do it with just his mouth, one hand should be easy. .
But Seriously good luck with the recovery
Yeah, Lars. Hope you have a quicky recovery.
Ha, get it? Because we both play in that MM3e game and thats your hero's name. Everyone made the pun there so I'll make it here...where it isn't so... relev... nevermind.
I am not sure how much into the story you all would like to get. If you want, we can get deeply immersed and do some role playing in Zelkor'S Ferry.
Sorry for my lack of posts. Working for one of the world's largest theme parks takes a mental toll. I've got a three-day weekend starting with a trip to the springs early tomorrow. Will try to make a decent post soon.
Which theme park do you work for? One of my players worked as a security guard here for Sea World for many years before finally getting a teaching job. It is up to you all to set the pace. RL has to take priority sometimes.
Universal Orlando. It's just now changing from really slow to stupid busy.
Yeah that is a busy one. We don't quite compare to Orlando here, but we are close.
Sorry to be away the weekend. My home computer decided to tell me "Operating System not found." -.-'
No problem Jark you might want to check out the app Wayfinder. . It's a really convenient way to post from your phone
-Posted with Wayfinder
What is your OS Jar'k, 7 or 8? I am not much help with 8, never used it.
I had Vista >.< Computer was from 2008. And I really do need to check out wayfinder.
@Good Thomas What did you decide on keeping THomas vs introducing Illirio (the wizard) here IC at the Ferry?
My thoughts: Looks like we're going to the Mouth of Doom not Rappan at first. I think we can get along without a wizard at first but before we reach the point on no return in Rappan(no idea of where that will be) we'll need a wizard or arcanist.
Are you thinking of playing GT (a character that we thoroughly enjoy having with us) for a couple of levels and then introducing your wizard? Or just let things play out and see what happens.
Just asking because if you are planning to do an IC switch at the ferry, now is probably the time to start working on that w/ brvheart.
Do you still have your windows disk? You can boot off of it and run a chkdsk /mbr. Go into the bios and make sure it is seeing the drive your hard disk may have failed also. Make sure you don't have a disk in the drive or a flash disk or phone plugged into it. Those will also cause the error.
Bios showed my hard disk. I was getting an error for a long time it it not recognizing the device plugged into the something that started with an "i". I can't remember right now. Nothing was plugged in and I rebooted several times. I tried to hit F8 for safe mode and the entire just freezes.
My hard disk died 2 years ago. No resurrection spell would work. I bought a windows 8 laptop and found many details frustrating at first but now after multiple updates I'm very happy with the OS.
goodluck i'm not a computer guy so cant offer any meaningful help
Hey Lars.. Hope at least one arm is working well. You don't want to anger Pekko. I'm sure in the religion somewhere there is a bare minimum number of 12 oz. curls required as a daily part of the worship.
The left hand can do the hauling.
A+, Network +, Security +, MCP, MCSE, MCTP, and MCITP. Forced retired by disability.
@brvheart I'd like to get your ruling on this before it comes into play.
On my belt on my right hip I have a specially constructed pouch. The sole purpose of this pouch is to hold my ioun torch securely and to release it quickly when needed. All I need to do to release it is give a quick tug to the cord at the bottom of the pouch and the ioun torch falls out and begins circling my head.
drinking a potion is a standard action. This will take significantly less time and effort.
should this be an immediate, swift or free action
Immediate actions are those that allow you to interrupt the flow of combat such as casting feather fall, free actions are such as drop an item or speak. Since you are not actually retrieving a stowed item it could be argued that this rises to the level of a swift rather than a move being a monk. You are allowed one swift action per round.
Looking at your party:
Aggramar Cleric
Good Thomas up front fighter
Lars secondary fighter and cleric
Koan trapfinder and secondary fighter
Jar'k bard and support character
Sorek to me this is the odd man out and probably the best suited for replacement for wizard, but that is just me. I would hate to see the party lose its up front fighter to fill that role. Just my humble opinion. Otherwise you are looking at recruiting another player.
Well. I could also switch. Not hard to be support and arcane glass cannon. I just wouldn't be up in melee anymore. Maybe.
What? You don't want to be up front with your quarterstaff? I had a wizard that did that in 3.5. He was never further than 2nd in the order of march. Liked being up front so he could cast lighting bolts without worrying about hitting his party. Started out at level 1 standing on tables behind the party fighting with his staff and was just plain lucky with it so he never quit! He never went down in combat though:)
So where we going all?
I really want to keep Sorek.
He does fill a primary melee role. Just not in a traditional way. Damage per round will not be a problem.
MeleeUnarmed Strike with Pugilist Stance +7 (2d6+5/19-20/x2 B,P,S)[+2BAB, +5 WIS] [Damage: 1d6 unarmed strike, +1d6 Pugilist Stance, +5 WIS]
with Flurry +5/+5 (2d6+5/19-20/x2 B,P,S)
If you think his AC is too low and he will lack durability I can replace his lvl1 Stalker Art Evasion with
Options for filling the Arcane role:
A) recruit another player
B) have Jark fill the Arcane role and Aggrammar go back to Evangelist
C) Good Thomas already has Illirio ready to go
If we go with A). Aggrammar has volunteered multiple times to fill the Arcane role. And should be given the opportunity to fill that role and we would have to recruit a full divine caster.
I don't want anyone playing a character they don't want. But I do want to play Sorek.
Lets try to get this ironed out today. I don't want the lvl1 characters in his Old school Rappan Athuk campaign to get to 4th level before us.
Jar'k here.
Alternative option for 'A' going along with Aggrammar's volunteering for Arcane role.
-I have this level 3 oracle of life designed for another game. It was rolled stats, but hers are very near 20-point buy (17 points. Would just need to drop the Kin Guardian trait and extra money. I also need to change spells to normal casting (the DM of that game wanted to use words of power). Also switch stats and class if brvheart would prefer plain cleric. That would free-up Aggrammar to fill arcane if he would rather do that than play cleric.
If we go 'C' It is possible that Sorek and Jar'k can hold the line (maybe) with the aid of Aggrammar up front.
@Brvheart- Why go quarterstaff when sorcerers (multiclass or straight) can pick up all simple weapons for free? Or go half-elf/human to get a better reach weapon on wizard.
I think Jarks proposal is a good one.
It lets:
A)Sorek stay Sorek
B)Good Thomas stay GT
C)Aggrammar fill the arcane role that he has volunteered to multiple times
and fills our need for a full divine and a full arcane
that would give us
Zoey(Jark) life Oracle
Good Thomas up front fighter
Sorek mobile up front fighter
Lars secondary fighter and cleric
Koan trapfinder and secondary fighter
Aggrammar changing to full Arcane
Jar'k, I am 25 pt buy not 20 btw so you can add the points up to that. Well, at least you would have a full arcane and divine. As for the other party well they only have about 200 XP so far so I wouldn't worry too much about that!
Oh, right on the 25 points. Not sure where I got the 20 from. Maybe it is not having coffee this morning that is the issue. I'll work on updating Zoey in case we go that route. Her plan was much different, but as she is from a dead game, well that doesn't matter. Originally, she was going to multi-class paladin, but I will keep her full divine. She is able to still be supportive. Just need to drop power attack for that.
@Aggrammar and Good Thomas
what do you think of the proposed ideas?
They have been out hunting. Bagged a deer and a black bear.
Thomas will probably eat the whole deer by himself
I think Thomas's rations are 1 GP/day. It could be worse, dwarf and elven rations are 2 GP!
makes sense to me. I need to teach him my trick of concentrating for a round to satisfy all my bodies needs for food and water.
Otherwise we are going to need a bag of holding real quick to hold all his food.
I don't know how well he is going to be able to fight with deer slung over each shoulder.
the only reason elf rations are more expensive is they are too picky about their food. I bet Thomas will eat anything
That is why his are cheaper Sorek!
@brvheart you mentioned that your resident power-gamer was going to take a look at Pathfinder Unchained. Has he given you a report on it yet? Doesn't look like it will impact any of our characters, but I'm curious none the less.
There are many different ideas in there. Not all of them have to be implemented. One that comes to mind would be the Stamina System. Specifically giving Fighters automatic access to it, I think it would be cool for Thomas.
Talked to him Saturday and he had not had a chance to pick up his hard copy from his parents house where he had it delivered yet.
So we going to kick this pig?
Hey guys brvhearts old Rappan campaign started on may 29th and they already have 219 posts we have 491. At the rate we're going they'll have more posts than us by the end of the week.
What do you say can we pick it up a bit? We've got a solid GM who has run Rappan multiple times. Let's take advantage of this . If this falls apart it's on us not the GM.
Don't worry I am not going anywhere Sorek. I am used to slow spots. Everyone gets busy sometimes:) Hey, sometime my wife wants to be able to get out of town. Wanted to this last weekend but it didn't work out. Oh well. I have also set the other game up for a faster posting rate, 4-5/day vs 1. Some of my players are good to post 1-2 times a week in Razor Coast. It is up to you to set your own pace:)
ok just wanted to make sure that a this slower pace wasnt going to turn you off.
So it's up to the rest of the group. I'll go along with whatever pace you want to set hopefully a bare minimum of at least one per day during the weekdays.
I know Lars had surgery and it sounds like Koan may have run into a rough spot. so yes RL happens. just hoping to create and sustain some posting momentum. hope everyone is well
