I can't wait till you guys run into the infernal rust monsters and they start going after all the metal weapons and armor you are carrying. I am a cruel GM I know,
All memorable DMs have a touch of malicious evil in their soul. It's practically a job requirement. ;)

Zeriax |

Zeriax is too stronk! Needs no puny metal! MUAH!
Unless you are counting the gold - everyone needs gold :D
Gonna add the ring of climbing, cloak of resistance, one cure moderate pot, and the 10 +1 evil outsider bane arrows to Zeriax's character sheet. Unless anyone wants to carry and/or use them. Also, I'm gonna buy another pot of Mage Armor if I can find it.
I say Garith or Samantha carry the 4 potions of lesser restoration, and Pakak the chime of opening and the wand of magic missiles.
Who has the spell in their list, to carry the wand of daylight?
Variel, do we know the pots CL?

Maelchar |

I think I can use a wand of daylight, but with the scale, those who don't have darkvision can gain it for like 18 hours each or something.. still, be happy to carry it and use if it we need it. how many charges are there remaining in the wand of daylight?

Zeriax |

Well done Reiko ;)
When I RP our sparring match, Zeriax will not humiliate you. You've earned it ;)

Reiko Mura |

If you want to write that Zeriax knocks Reiko out cold, I won't mind. I don't have an ego about my characters taking their lumps. She wanted to show some of what she could do, mission accomplished. So have fun. :) Just know that she is the energizer bunny - she doesn't quit until you put her down for the count... and she'll respect a solid beating.

Maelchar |

ty Reiko for the info on charges.
Somehow, I'm having trouble imagining Reiko in a pink bunny suit beating a drum... lol...

DM Variel |

will get the map up tomorrow and start the week off with a bang. Loved the sparring match by the way. Both Reiko and Zeriax get the same floating +1 bonus to a d20 once before you level up again. Keep up the RP guys I love it.
Also any last purchases before tomorrow night. Once I get the map up around 2100CST it will be too late.

Maelchar |

Garith - repeating my question because I didn't get an answer... is there enough gold for me to upgrade my mw breastplate to +1? thanks...

![]() |

sorry Mael, Your Brestplate is upgraded to +1 brestplate. I've accounted for it in the sheet.
I've also corrected a few errors on the sheet, so we have an accurate account of our cash. So we're good to go!

Maelchar |

thanks!

Reiko Mura |

Hey Garith, I think you may still have an error on the sheet. It says:
4 CSrsW pots
8 Potion Less Resto
I believe those numbers should be switched.
Also, if you'd like Reiko to carry any of CSW or CLW healing pots, please let me know. You had mentioned doling them out to the melee characters but I wasn't sure if you meant that in regards to the original crew or the 'late additions'. :)

DM Variel |

Correction definitely no map update tonight as I work on this I will let you guys know when I am back up and running with maptools. Having to completely reinstall and copy files over if they transfer to a new version. If not it may take a couple of days for me to get every up and running again with icons and maps.

Reiko Mura |

Ooof. I had that issue a few years back. I ended up maintaining a copy of java 6. As I recall, when I got the error screen, there was a way to navigate to the .exe file. I just had to navigate to where I kept the java 6 files and it worked once again. I was just looking through the maptools interface and I don't see a way to link to the java folder from there.

Maelchar |

RP tools website should tell you what the most recent version of java that maptools will work with. If it's not compatible, then you have to do a search (maybe check google) for how to uninstall the version you have and reinstall one that is compatible...

I may be being totally silky right now but had a hunch that the sword image and inscription meant something to do with the holy sword...
But it is in character to, garith being pious and all, boy kinds bent out of shape about the whole war thing...
Totally didn't see Pakak's post... Sorry about that

Zeriax |

I am afraid just of talking about household sickness, as my two young ones have been holding fine these last couple of months.
I hope you all quickly get back on your feet. Take care.

Zeriax |

MUAH!
I have been going around for ages to try and find a character that can fit the bill, when it comes out to taking down specific targets in a combat - not necessarily the BBEG, but the guy in the back healing him, or lobbing spells at the group, or whatever - there's a nasty wizard in the back? I'll shut him down; A flying mook, leave it to me, and so forth, while the bulk of the group takes down the brutes and BBEG.
I gotta say it is not easy to do that, and I am not sure Zeriax can perform in that role as well as I would like - I think Zen Archers are MUCH more versatile than people give them credit for - just look at ma monk: he can Heal (skill), Sense Motive, Intimidate (poorly), Stealth, Disable Device, AND shoot his arrows for some pain - that's versatility in my book, but as far as taking down the specific nasty, I'm not sure.
I once built a character that tried to accomplish that - Thug/Scout with an Earthbreaker - he would acrobatic in, than BAM - hit for a ton (he had STR 18), and stack debuffs on the bad guy - wasn't bad, but still, he lacked the feats to be totally effective. By now I am kinda thinking a Fighter (with all those sweet feats), or perhaps a Monk (Tetori anyone?), can be built like that, with step up and all those along that line.
Just a little rant cause I had a couple of minutes in my hands :D
No worries on the update Variel, do it when you can.

Pakak |

Ok, our sick one has gotten to the clinic and meds provided.
Of course, we're also having construction done on the house in the next week (and a half?), and that will be distracting but I should be able to get at least one post in a day.
RL is awfully rude

awesome... thanks!

Zeriax |

Apologies for the hold up Variel and Team - Financial Accounting exam really busting my a** today. I'll have an update in a couple of hours, or Variel can bot me if needed. Sorry guys and gals.

Zeriax |

Guys, I'm off to a beach day with the family. Will only be able to post later today.

Maelchar |

Happy Father's Day to any dads out there.

Speaking of Mythic, I jsut found THIS!
Retributive Reach (Ex): Treat your reach as 5 feet greater than normal for the purpose of determining whether or not you can make an attack of opportunity. If a creature provokes an attack of opportunity within this area of increased reach, you can expend one use of mythic power to gain a bonus equal to your tier on the attack roll and damage roll of the attack of opportunity.
and btw: Ever Ready (Ex): Whenever you make an attack of opportunity, you gain a bonus on the attack and damage rolls equal to your mythic tier. You can make attacks of opportunity while flat-footed, even if you don't have the Combat Reflexes feat. At 3rd, 6th, and 9th tier, the number of attacks of opportunity you can make each round increases by one.
May wait on Ever-ready till a later tier than 2 so i can snag Fast-healing for 50 HP worht of healing for a mythic point!

Maelchar |

Yeah, I've been reading too, but not as excited... I guess Heirophant wasn't the right path for Maelchar really... it's mostly geared more toward druids and clerics, and less for a fighting oracle... I'm sure I can find something eventually I guess, just nothing really exciting...

Zeriax |

For Zeriax there are some craaaaazy powers in Mythic. I think mostly I have to decide between shoring up defenses or pumping offense to insanity :D
But I feel like taking the power that increases my speed a further 30 or 40' ;)

DM Variel |

MAelchar you are not locked in yet o you can chooe any of the options. I don't think the archmage would work that well for you but you could still choose it if you wanted to. I could e you going a couple of ways if you wanted to focus on defense or offense Guardian or Champion respectively.
Zeriax, you are not allowed to boost your offense any higher. ;p A higher speed to ru away and leave your companion is good though.

Reiko Mura |

I played through Blackcrag with a mythic ZA Monk (though with a different path than yours). It was quite satisfying. :)
I will say this about the mythic experience to all players - be sure to balance your abilities. Resist the temptation to go with an extreme mythic offensive build. Against normals, it is grand. But against mythic baddies - who will have all the same advantages we have - it becomes a game of rocket-tag. Had our team in Blackcrag gone with a few more defensive abilities, some fights would have been a great deal better and we would have come out ahead more easily. As it was, a number of battles were harder than they should have been and we were on our heels and scrambling to pull out a win. Our offensive oomph... left us with something of a glass jaw when the baddies won initiative and pulled their own nasty tricks from the book.
Just food for thought.

Zeriax |

I may turn to you for advice then Reiko ;)

Pakak |

As lost as I've been thanks to RL and lack of focus, I'll happily take advice from others on how best to do a mythic arch mage build for Pakak. I think at this point, Mr. Ironwall WILL be very tempted by the offensive... more spells to cast more often, and spells that can bypass the multitude of immunities demons have.

Reiko Mura |

Yeah, I've been reading too, but not as excited... I guess Heirophant wasn't the right path for Maelchar really... it's mostly geared more toward druids and clerics, and less for a fighting oracle... I'm sure I can find something eventually I guess, just nothing really exciting...
You could always take the Dual Path feat.

DM Variel |

I will try to help as well to answer questions or give advice. It would be more along the lines of what do you want to accomplish at this level and I will give some recommendations. For Pakak I would think that the feat would be mythic spellcasting to give access to mythic spells. Which spells though would be up to him.
