Freaking had my post and then freaking lost it. Gonna have to get to it tomorrow. It's too late here and I've got to turn in.

Apologies for the delay.

For what it's worth, though, he is going to be grappled because he's going to move and attack the demon. I already moved his icon.

My question then would be: Can he do anything else after that? Or will it have to wait for next round?

So if he can't do anything this round anyway except for move and get grappled, I'd say move on to the next round. That'd be fine by me.


You would still have your standard action available or if you used a mythic point to move then you would have a full round action still. Being grappled you aren’t allowed two handed weapon attack I believe.

...To the south Ansha freezes it in place momentarily allowing Damiel to land 2 quick strikes upon it. Both attacks drive deep lacerating both kidneys. The baregara shakes off the hold as the pain lances through its body.

Persistent Spell would only take effect to force a reroll if the demon succeeded on the first save, so it should still be Held, shouldn't it?


The first save was when you cast it. The second was on its turn to end the effect. To my knowledge persistent spell only works on the round it is cast.

My initial confusion was over the way the post was formatted, because it made it look like the demon rolled twice on Ansha's casting of the spell.

That said, it looks like Persistent Spell probably should apply to all saves of that spell, since the wording is "whenever a creature targeted by a persistent spell...." And that Persistent Hold Monster is taking up a 7th-level spell slot.

Rules Question thread about it


Sorry for the confusion Ansha. I should have added the second roll after the text description.


sorry guys but been a horrible week with work and problematic attitudes. Will get a post up Thursday.

No worries here. Take care of yourself.


Yeah, no worries. Thanks for keeping us informed!


Male Humanly Awesome 'n Totally Rockin' Paladin of Greatness

Okay, I'm sorry, but this is going to sound like a crazy question because that's exactly what it is: What level are we?

In herolabs I got 12. But on my profile, I've got a couple of skills sitting with 13 ranks in them. But I also have in my profile a BA of +12.

What in the freaking heck?! My gosh that makes ABSOLUTE no sense! Have I lost my mind?! (Yeah don't answer that. I REALLY don't want to know). :P

Also, I checked the player's page and Ansha is the only one with 13 listed under her profile. The rest of us have 12.

Man I am completely lost.


Male Humanly Awesome 'n Totally Rockin' Paladin of Greatness

For what it's worth, Morgrym CAN make that perception check. But it's pretty much gonna take a 20. So not likely.

He's either got +19 or +20 depending on what level we are.


13th level and tier 5

You all leveled up upon leaving the complex before exploring the island and arriving in Alushinyrra.


Male Humanly Awesome 'n Totally Rockin' Paladin of Greatness

Crap! Seriously? I remember talking about leveling in the discussion thread a while back but I was just figuring it was 12th level we went up to.

Man o man all I can do is shake my head at myself. No idea what I was thinking. For the life of me I just don't get it.

Well, alright then. Got to go figure out what I've implemented and what I haven't. Ugh.

Apparently, I also dropped the ball. I see in the thread that we were told we would be leveling up to 13th after "that" fight ten months ago.

Working on Nasira's level - she gets a feat and a new spell level. Should have been rocking seventh-level spells this year - I'm not sure I've had the pleasure to do that in any of my other games. There will be mistakes...

I always struggle to select a feat. Anyone with suggestions, I'd love to hear them.


Male Aasimar (Musetouched) Bloodrager (Urban) 1/Paladin (Virtuoso Bravo) 14 [Champion: 7]

Feats kind of depend on what you're looking to do -- and for mythic characters, we may already have some sense snazzy powers that are better than mere mortal feats. So, having no experience with a high+level *mythic* cleric, I can make a few suggestions:

* If you're not as starved for swift actions as Ari, then Quick Channel can be pretty useful, especially since it opens Reactive Healing to auto-heal if something's about to knock you out.

* I've been a fan of Sacred Summons - standard action summoning is just snazzy. (Summon Good Monster can be good for adding options)

* Demon Hunter gives bonuses against demons, including a boost on spell resistance checks

There are a few other channeling feats, some better than others, and of course Improved Critical is all kinds of snazzy for a scimitar fighter, and it also seems Performance Combat feats would be useful. ;)


Male Humanly Awesome 'n Totally Rockin' Paladin of Greatness

Sacred Summons seems pretty cool. Gives us some assistance in combat for sure. It just depends if that's something you wish to keep up with.

Extra Channel is useful. Boring... but useful.

You've got Alignment Channel so that's pretty cool.

All those that Ari mentioned I'd have to agree with. All solid. Except for performance feats. And mainly because I know nothing about those so I can't really say yay or nay on those. :P

And I think I've got Morgrym finished up finally.

And 10 months! My gosh I can't believe it's been that long.

Sacred Summons has caught my eye. I see some future growth in that vein - if I'm swinging my scimitar, it's because I have nothing better to do or we have already lost. But if I can bring in some outsiders to do it for me, we could get some benefit out of that.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Yeah I do like that one the most out of all of them.


Male Humanly Awesome 'n Totally Rockin' Paladin of Greatness

Per Minagho: But I DO know her from Owlcat's new Wrath game. The "faceless" one. Pretty much just got past that part.

Highly recommend the game if any of you haven't played it. Man it is an absolute MASSIVE game in all aspects. I swear it feels like I've been playing it FOR-EV-OR yet I'm only 6th level.

Three of my people have animal companions. I got a wolf, a smilodon(not all the time though), and a horse roaming with me. Pretty cool.

They've got nearly all of the classes, many archetypes for each, various races and even subsets for some of them. You will LITERALLY lose an hour just CREATING a character. I kid you not. Very detailed.

But it's fun!


Male Humanly Awesome 'n Totally Rockin' Paladin of Greatness

Gonna be a crazy busy these next couple of days for me so I'll be out until Sunday afternoon/evening. Apologies.


Male Aasimar (Musetouched) Bloodrager (Urban) 1/Paladin (Virtuoso Bravo) 14 [Champion: 7]

I'll be away on a family holiday starting tomorrow (the 27) and back the 5th -- but given the need to unpack with small child, probably not actually able to be online to catch up and post before the 8th.

In the meantime, Arigoder will keep with the suave, debonair and efficient destruction of things. He'll do his best to not interfere with the current discussions, unless they lead to a place a paladin can't go.

The Demonblight Crusade Wrath of the Righteous is now sanctioned for Pathfinder Society (1e) play, per the PFSOP twitter. So can I get a chronicle for PFS-Ansha when WotR-Ansha gets through the current book we're in? ;P


I have never done anything with pathfinder society so I don't even know what you are talking about but will help with whatever.


Male Humanly Awesome 'n Totally Rockin' Paladin of Greatness

You know, aside from the fact that Morgrym NEVER wants to do deals with demons, do we actually HAVE 50,000 gold? I mean, that's a lot of cash right there. I guess if we combined all of us together we could scrape it together. Heck, if I was playing a pc that would at least consider the deal, it would be real difficult to part with that kind of cash.

Maybe we should reward his approaching us - by attacking our assassin when he’s where we know him. Now.

Male Aasimar (Musetouched) Bloodrager (Urban) 1/Paladin (Virtuoso Bravo) 14 [Champion: 7]

To be clear - the incoming spell was non-mythic so Arigoder *can* act normally?


Correct


Map update tomorrow. Just haven’t had time to create the island.


Female Elf Wizard (Manipulator) 15/Archmage 7 Portrait

Nasira: You could always have her cast spiritual weapon and have the weapon ready its action to attack when a shadow shows itself. Since spiritual weapons are made of force, they'd ignore the incorporeal quality.


Male Humanly Awesome 'n Totally Rockin' Paladin of Greatness

Would it be possible to only step 5' and attack the ones attacking Nasira? Or at least the vicinity of her?

I'm not exactly sure where these things are coming from which leads me to not being exactly sure how far I would have to move.

I haven't moved Morgrym yet on the map. I was about to until I saw the potential of me only having to move 5'.


Yes a 5ft step is fine. Otherwise you could use a mythic point to get wherever and full attack.


Male Humanly Awesome 'n Totally Rockin' Paladin of Greatness

You would be correct, Variel. LINK

Barring a ghost touch weapon of course. And I don't believe any of us have that.

Edit: lol And THAT is what I get for not reading your ENTIRE post. :P


Male Aasimar (Musetouched) Bloodrager (Urban) 1/Paladin (Virtuoso Bravo) 14 [Champion: 7]

...and this is why I'd wished they had just cleaned up and organized the rules instead of making a new edition.... Sorry, Variel -- I also thought it was weird - as I said at the start. If you'd like, I could drop my Toughness feat and replace it with Ghostslayer to explain how this has been working? (Honestly, I'm also still surprised that ghost touch isn't on the weapon bond list for paladins)


Not that big of a deal now. Just moving forward we all know that incorporeal is immune to crits and sneak damage


Male Humanly Awesome 'n Totally Rockin' Paladin of Greatness

Man you guys are WAY worse off than Morgrym. Dang I can't believe how close to death some of you are.

Morgrym's saving grace is his high strength. And his rage. He's down 8 but at least he can overcome it to a degree.


Cleric of Sarenrae 15 [ HP 121/121 (0 NL)| AC 28 T 17 FF 24| F12 R11 W16 +2 vs Death Effects| CMD 29| Init +11| Perc +7, Darkvision 60' | 6/8 Channel 8d6 DC 22 | Restorative Touch 7/7| Hierophant MR7| MP 17/17 Surge +1d10 | Staff of Healing 9 chg | Effect: ]

They never missed Nasira. After healing twice, she’s down three. Damiel got missed at least once, but took like 18 points of strength damage. 1d8 damage when you start with a pool of 12 is no joke.


Just be glad Ansha had mirror image up or I could have critted her for strength damage. Shadow in 1 round.


Female Elf Wizard (Manipulator) 15/Archmage 7 Portrait

Mirror Image is pretty much the only thing that keeps Ansha alive in a straight-up fight, given that she has an AC of 10.

Next mythic tier, she’s taking Mirror Dodge, which will help a lot too.

Those 3 points leave me at -4, after my LoH. So I can offset that by raging -- as much as I prefer extra dex

-4 what?! Not strength, right?! Because that pretty much makes you dead, doesn't it?! I don't really know what happens at that number on ability scores. I know Con will kill you dead but I'm not sure about the other ones.

And you can rage? Seriously? A paladin? That's pretty wild, I gotta say.
