Far as I'm concerned, sell it all and split the cash. Except possibly the ring depending on what it turns out to be.
I'm not terribly interested in anything. I'm curious about who the jewelry belongs to (e.g. if it's stolen).
I don't need any of what we found. Sell it all if nobody wants it.
I assume I can't see anything. Hold my shot until the first enemy shows.
On Leveling
You can either roll your HP, or take the PFS method (1/2 HD +1) but you need to choose before you roll. If you roll a 1, you can re-roll, subtracting 1 from the new total.
Please post your build changes, so I can get them copied easily, including feats, skill points, spells added etc.
You may have your spells known available immediately, unless you have to study or pray to get spells prepared ahead of time. Then it has to wait your next preparation session.
This is what you've been waiting for so enjoy!
I like the excitement of the HP roll:

I have all your updates. We allowed you to have an extra feat at the beginning (Cosmopolitan) which sort of throws my Hero Lab off on Feat progression. Can you remind me why we did that?

Arianna - you are good to go.

Because being good with wild animals makes no sense for an urban ranger, but being better at languages and social skills does, we agreed I'd swap the ranger class ability Wild Empathy for the Cosmopolitan feat.

Excellent! Lemme at 'em!

Alchemist (Trap Breaker Vivisectionist) 3
- +1 BAB
- +10 HP (7 + 2 + 1)
- +1 Will save
- +7 skill ranks (2 Knowledge(Nature), 1 Perception, 1 Disable Device, 1 Craft Alchemy), 1 Stealth, 1 Appraise)
- +1 feat (Power Attack)

- +Fast Poisoning (Move action)
- +1d6 Sneak Attack (2d6 total)
- +Swift Alchemy (construct alchemical items in half the normal time)
- +1 Formula known and use/day (Polypurpose Panacea)
DM DocEvil: If possible, can I fold my rank in Heal into the Nature (meaning I only need 1 rank in Nature to take me to max)? From a gameplay perspective, that seems to make sense since I'm combining my healing and knowledge of the natural world into one. If you're not ok with me making that shift now, then I'll just retrain the rank in heal into something else later. Let me know what you prefer. :)
Edit: My profile should be updated. I'll go over it again in a bit to double check that I didn't miss anything.
Ulgrim Level Up!

==========================================
Big level for me. My attack bonus went up by 5, can now fire my bow in melee without fear of AOOs, and I got Deadly Aim (^_____________^)
My patience has paid off!
PS: Damn Gyllan! You've gotten some lucky HP rolls. I was expecting to have the same or more HP than you, but you've got me beaten by 6. You lucky dog, you.

Oooh. Shite. Dodge is a monk bonus feat, but deadly aim isn't. I didn't realize it had a dex pre-req. That's really annoying. I guess I'll pick another feat. :(
I have no idea what I'm going to take, since I wasn't planning on this. I'm probably going to take a level of empyreal bloodline sorceror next level now to open up some more damage dealing options or else I'm basically stuck at 1d8+2 forever.
I see, I just had Dodge in the wrong place. Sorry about Deadly Aim, let me know what you end up choosing.
I'm taking toughness instead. Can't find anything else useful enough to spend a feat on that I meet the reqs for.
Now I just need 4,000 GP for a belt of dex, and put my 4th level advancement in Dex. Then I can still take deadly aim at 5th level :P

These changes are good to go. What do you mean about the heal to nature move? YOu have 3 ranks in Nature, which is all a lvl 3 PC can have, right?
I was just asking if it would be ok if I moved the heal rank to Knowledge nature instead of spending a new skill rank on it. It basically saves me from wasting a skill rank on heal which will be overshadowed by Know(Nature). I thought that made sense since I use Knowledge(Nature) in place of heal. If that doesn't work, I can just retrain at some point during downtime.
I get it, but aren't you already at max ranks in Know Nature for your level (3)? If so, it'll have to be later that you shift it. If not, then ok with me, as it's a minor change.
He's saying he wants one of those three KNow (Nat) ranks to have been paid for by taking a rank that was previously spent on heal, I believe.
Ulgrim has it. I'd just put 1 rank from my new skills into Knowledge(Nature), use the 1 from Heal, and then have 1 that I can reallocate where I want.
It makes sense to me. Go ahead.
I am bit worried that we have lost Durriken. His last post was 5/22...I have sent him a PM, so we will see...
If he is out of the game, I don't plan on replacing (unless you all have strong feelings) as running with 5 is faster and works better in most cases anyway.
I agree about not replacing Durriken if we've lost him, a smaller, nimbler group is better. And, of course, with Corso, a fabulous-looking one.
Works for me too.
I'd like to buy a masterwork longspear, Hybridization Funnel and Formula Alembic for a total of 705 gp. I'd be selling my regular longspear as well (for 2.5 gp). That would leave me with 329.35 cp.
I'd also like to craft 2 acid flasks and 1 alchemist's fire. The acid flasks cost 100 sp and the fire costs 200 sp. Using 3 crafter's fortune extracts, I can have a take 10 result of 26. That means my daily progress on the flasks is 26 (my skill) * 15 (DC) / 7 (days per week) = 55. That would mean it takes 4 days to finish the 2 acid flasks. For the alchemist's fire, my daily progress would be 26 (my skill) * 20 (DC) / 7 (days per week) = 74. I can complete the alchemist's fire in the last 3 days in the week we have available. Total cost for components would be (10*2 + 20)/3 = 13.33 gp.
After all of the above, I should have 316.02 gp left.
Also, as far as the heal skill thing above goes, I put the point that was previously in heal in knowledge(local), which I think makes sense for someone who has so much invested in the city.
I updated my profile to sync with the above. I also spent 10 gp to copy my new extract formula (Polypurpose Panacea) to my backup alchemy book. That cost an additional 10 gp which leaves me with 306.02 gp left.
I have recorded your purchases above Iozif. Any other buyers or sellers during the hiatus.
I'm good too. Ready to rumble.
Don't have time right now to ponder purchases, but I don't think there's anything. If I come up with something, I'll let you know in a reasonable time-frame - it won't be the arrow of xorn-slaying just as we encounter a xorn.
One question about the finding of Trinia: in coming up with the concept for Gyllan, I very much had in mind someone with deep connections in the city, who knows where to find people and things in Korvosa. So I'm hoping that his very urban-human-focused survival skill will be useable, even if I'm not actually tracking her footprints somewhere.
No worries about the Three Rings, I was just trying to play up Gyllan's knowledge of the inns and outs of the city.
And congrats on the house!
Gyllan
Use Know local, diplomacy, or even Survival to "track" her in an urban environment.
I have no issues with you buying gear in between adventures, but when you are knee deep in the sewers, there arent a lot of vendors around. Just saying...
As far as rolling Diplomacy, personally I think it's over done. But it's more than just a meta-physicial chance that gets a bad reaction in this case. It's a build issue. Ulgrim sacrificed charisma and charisma-based skills as part of his build, and when he rolls a 6 in Diplomacy it hurts.
If Corso had rolled the same 6, with his Charisma focus, it becomes a 17, and the folks aren't hostile. Not friendly either, but easier to get them there.
I'm not a huge fan of dice substituting for role-play, but there has to be some reward/penalty for dumping/building a stat or skill. Not just upside if you roll good....If it were combat build, a character with a +11 to hit succeeds more often than a character with a -1 to hit. Eventually the -1 character has to focus on something else or deal with failure frequently.
If Ulgrim hadn't appended a diplomacy check on at the end of his post, I would've rolled a Sense Motive for the lady to see if she believed him (she is suspicious to begin with), and we may have ended up in the same place (or not).
As for the one minute to change a person's mind, I feel that's more for combat based or round-level situations where time is measured in tactical increments, rightly or wrongly. It's just hard to change someone's mind in 6 seconds of action.
In conversation, the check is more than the words, it's also the delivery, body language, emphasis, and many other non-verbal cues that makes the difference. Whether your delivery is exactly a minute or not, it's the first impression which is made up of all those cues.
An interesting discussion, but shouldn't trip us up too much in game terms.
I understand. I could have rolled a 20 just as easily. Doesn't make it any less frustrating at a time like this :P
Luckily we still got it done, so I'm over it. Good job Corso.
Good job Corso.
Of course, the Shingles boy gets no respect. ;)

You're preaching to the choir with Iozif. :P
Need anything else from us for now, DM DocEvil?
What with buying a house (closign Monday), packing, cleaning, moving, unpacking and all the other regular day-to-day's, I will only have spotty posting for the next few weeks or so.
Apologies in the advance (or at least the middle) for this stretch of distraction and madness.
Hope to return to regular on the backside of it.
Congrats on the house and good luck for the move!
Gracias, mi amigo! Good Luck on your Shingles chase!

I'm busy at the moment, and leaving on monday for three weeks of travel as well, so my posting may be spotty. I'm not sure.

Totally understandable. Congratulations on the good news! I wish you best of luck in the move.

No apologies needed. The real world takes precedence over PBP. :)
