Math is fundamental. And tone is easy to mistake in a post.

Korak The Boisterous |

I'd actually like to understand. Because it seemsclike my previously mistimed question about Jeaux is coming back to bite me.

Korak The Boisterous |

Just that I see nothing rude about what I said, and I assume it's being seen in the same light as my question about what happens if Jeaux dies since the archetype makes no mention of it.

Cleo Gingerberry |

LOL! I had forgotten about that. Sir that question about his familiar dying at that moment sounded 100% like you were going down a dark path, one not meant for friendly gaming. You didn't mean it like that, but in that context, it sure did.
Only treasure can answer what he heard in your post this last time. Read it with one tone, and it can make you sound like an a#%+#%@, read it in another you're asking a question. Anything could have happened in treasures day to read it as the first. He misunderstood and apologized.

Korak The Boisterous |

Oh I'm well aware of how it sounded at the time. But it sounds to me like I'm being looked at as an extremely assholish and disruptive player because of my admittedly very bad timing with my previous question.

Cleo Gingerberry |

We can all have bad days. Every one of us. All we can do is try and understand each other when we do.
That's all the crap advice I got for an evening. Going to bed, have a good night everyone.

Well I was definitely going through some coffee withdrawal at the time, as I woke up and realized that I was out of coffee. Terrible start to a day, lemme tell you.
I felt like the comment was more condescending than actually being a question. I personally am very conscious of my "character builds", and feel like I'm being accused of cheating if someone questions my numbers. I assumed that was what was going on for Helgarr, and so I butted in. That's why I apologize.
I actually quite like Korak and Maria (although I'm worried that I'll have to send Maria to jail at some point LOL). I'm also sorry that Maria is having a hard time in combat right now. Your ideas have been great, but the dice really haven't worked out lately.
As for the question about Vandra and Jeaux, I already put that one under the bridge. Seems like we've managed to work that one out and I'm happy about it.

Korak The Boisterous |

She has? Seems to me most of her problems were in the first fight. Anyways, I'm currently looking into ways to up her damage a bit, Seriously thinking I'll pick up nature soul and animal ally, that gives me the animal companion class feature equivalent to a Ranger's if I'm remembering right. What's your thought on those since they're not intelligent per se, do I have to train them for specific purposes?
Also, for the future, assume that if I ask something, it's only out of interest. I try not to throw team mates under the bus. Unless they're actually pissing me off that much on purpose, in which case I'm likely to do it ic or ooc depending on where it's happening. I'm seriously considering shanking a character in another RP because among other things he's called my character a bimbo. Lucky little a&!+*!% said that one far away from me so I can't act on it.
Whoops, diverged my train of thought.

DM TreasureFox |

Sure thing Korak, good luck with that other character >.<
I'm pretty sure you're right about the animal ally feature. I think it's fair for the price of two feats. Three feats if you want to pick up Boon Companion as well.
I know that at level 3 your damage will pick up a fair bit with finesse training. As well as with sneak attacks and rogue talents.

DM TreasureFox |

Oh I forgot to answer your question. I prefer using the trick system for animal companions and pets. The goblin druid I mentioned earlier will be using a wand of speak with animals to direct his companion more efficiently.
I don't use that method with familiars though, as they are significantly more intelligent and understand entire languages.

Korak The Boisterous |

Okay bonus tricks, and I can train, good. Anybody want to pick up precise strike with me?

Cleo Gingerberry |

Off to a field trip with my older kids for the next few days. So after tomorrow morning Cleo will be in your hands treasure until Saturday. Do whatever you think she would, no worries.

Korak The Boisterous |

Hey Cleo, just a thought since I don't know when it will happen, but you may want to leave a 2nd level version of Cleo if you have the time. For reference I'm just trying to keep things running smoothly. Not trying to step on any toes.

Cleo Gingerberry |

LOL! Anyone but foxglove, PLEASE.
No worries Vandra, two redheads can't mate. Ginger Armageddon would ensue!!!
Good thought Korak. Second level clerics... um... skills... I guess.

Korak The Boisterous |

So, I'm torn on talents, let's see what you guys think. I'm looking at Minor Magic, which grants me a Cantrip, Surprise attack, which allows me to treat everybody as flatfooted in the surprise round, or Powrful Sneak, which will allow me to reroll any initial 1s I get from sneak attack, thoughts?
For knowledge the cantrip I'd grab is ghost sounds.

Korak The Boisterous |

And that would be the crux of my dilemma. Roleplay or effectiveness. Fug it, roleplay. Ghost Sounds here I come.

Korak The Boisterous |

Redhead+freckles=wow!
Amen to that brother. And apparently women agree as well if Archie is anything to go by.

Korak The Boisterous |

Only advice I have is move to Riverdale and buy a sweater vest. Seems to be a winning combo there.

Korak The Boisterous |

Dammit, that doesn't feel nearly as good as I thought it would. Now I'm just depressed.

Cleo Gingerberry |

Time moves too quick. If you need 2nd level Cleo, cleric and her extra spell would be another bless, though she tends to use them all for cures.
Skills I'll come up with later. As for in the game, she will do everything to defend/heal Maria.

Cleo Gingerberry |

Good morning everyone. Thanks for running Cleo for me treasure. You were spot on for her.

I'm just glad that you had some Channel Positive Energy left. Otherwise it woulda possibly been bye-bye Vandra and Beaux.
Also, don't have my laptop atk, do I regain consciousness when I get brought back to 1 hp?

Korak The Boisterous |

Technically you regain consciousness at 0, but if you do anything you go into negs again

Korak The Boisterous |

Yes, but if you do anything strenuous at 0 hit points you mess yourself up. You'd have to look up their idea of strenuous

Please let me know in this thread:
- Your new maximum hp
- Any class features you received
- What spells you just learned
- Where you put your new skill ranks
Everyone gains maximum hp for this level.
Your current hp increases by the same amount as your maximum hp. (So if your maximum hp increased by 8 from leveling up, your current hp would also increase by 8.) (2/8) -> (10/16)
