Can't help but have some curiosity about the levers. Here's what we've got:
3 levers and likely functions:
1 moves/locks the altar
2 resets the blade trap
3 opens the massive treasure horde
I'll try one more time to sort them out, then we move on, ok?

There's a family of birds that moved into my air-conditioning unit station.
.__. They cheep during all daylight hours in which I work in my living room. Cute, but I worry for them. That area gets hot as can be imagined in midsummer.

If he is anything like the spawn that lives in my house, he will also develop other spells at a rapid pace. Just in the past week, mine has learned both freedom of movement (upright variant) and expeditious retreat. Strangely, his speed increases even more when he is coming toward us, or running away from us.
It's like reality itself is his plaything.

Just wanted to let everyone know that this weekend I will be leaving to go here for work. I will be gone 2-3 weeks, and my internet connection will be very spotty indeed, and I’ll be on a very different time zone as well.
I will post when I’m able, but if I’m holding things up, feel free to bot me as needed.

My spawn only just mastered Freedon of Movement (crawling variant). I can't wait until she figures out upright.

My elder spawn is studying the arcana of freedom of movement (driving variant)! Fortunately, he's low enough level that his WBL precludes purchase of the magic self-propelled carriage - and he prefers to cast mount (bicycle variant).

Careful what you wish for Corbyn. My youngest learned Freedom of Movement (bipedal variant) around Christmas. Now she has learned how to buff herself with Haste and Expeditious Retreat and apparently without my notice, she has dropped a rank or two in Climb, Acrobatics and Stealth.

Sorry about the delayed post. We ended up having an impromptu family beach day on Galveston Island today. Lots of fun, hiking on the channel islands, and my son got to splash in the surf. Apparently, he's figured out the great synergy between create water and soften earth and stone.
Now, I just hope he figures out cure light wounds. This sunburn is brutal.

So, there are two components to this alteration to the aid another action. Let me know what you guys think, and if you'd like to adopt one, both, or neither.
1) A character with 3 or more ranks in a given skill can take a penalty to their own skill check to aid nearby allies on the same skill check. The character can aid one ally for each skill rank possessed, so someone with three ranks in stealth could aid three allies on their stealth check. The aiding character would take a -4 penalty to the result of their check, but in exchange could grant a +2 circumstance bonus to allowed allies within 30' who can see and hear each other. With 9 or more ranks, a character can take a -10 to their own check to provide a +5 to their allies.
Further,
2) A character with 3 or more ranks in a skill can potentially grant a higher bonus than the standard. 10-19 grants the standard +2 circumstance bonus, 20-29 grants +3, 30-39 grants +4 and so on. However, a result of 1-9 has a -4 penalty.
What do you guys think of these mechanics? Would you be interested in incorporating them into the game?
| Morin Tidelock |
I think they both sound pretty cool. The first one could get cumbersome mechanically, but it's worth trying. I particularly like the idea of being able to help people with stealth, so the soft targets don't always have to take point. There are probably some other interesting applications of the first rule, I'll have to ponder it a bit.

All good. :)
Fun story to share, my son has apparently learned how to pull pillows off of our sofa. My wife found him sitting amidst a pile of five pillows today. She saw a mess, but I saw my boy's first pillow fort!

My sister's little boy isn't sleeping for longer than 2.5 hours right now, and my boy went through that too, but now that we're out of that phase I can barely remember it.
Yeah, its funny how that works. Though it all comes flooding back when the next baby comes. Must be evolutionary, else people would stop having kids after the first.

Say, did I just detect a hint of Homosexuality in Golarion? (I have been following that thread and Jessica Price's female gamer threads with interest.)
Also, I have been studying throat singing. Doing okay with kargyraa and have gotten a few tones in sygyt.
