On this topic, I can't find any specific rules. If someone else can find something, feel free to post it.

In this circumstance, here's my ruling for now. Assuming the bond is what makes it a better version, it'll take some time for it to fade. It will lose most of it's normal abilities (share spells, evasion, and all that), but not things like hit points right away. So it won't be able to get help in all probably (it's improved intellect will be fading), but it will still have above average hit points.

Welcome to Team Evil, gents!

I'm delighted to have you in the game!

Likewise.

All right, I've sent Fargo and Shulme PMs to begin the (hopefully) expedient process of integrating their characters into the campaign. If you have any questions, just let me know. But for now, time to redirect some energy towards slaying a few villains that are still in prison.

Yes... those three guards and their dog are clearly the villains since our group of freedom fighters are the protagonists.

Or are you referring to those scrofulous dogs in Parchment 1?

:D

Yes! Spacetime parallel universal schism drops us into their world and we decide to assassinate them on account of the fact that they are an embarrassment to morally handicapped people everywhere.

Then they get to wait a couple levels and play the first members of Xanos' undead legion.


LOL. I have visions of the two teams squaring off in some dark alley... of course half their team is absent or profusely bleeding because we do half our fighting before blades are drawn, but what can you expect?

Welcome aboard, Fargo and Shulme! Fargo, it's good to have someone to share the front-line with. And Shulme, good to know we have a second healer/buffer/caster for when us front-liners are in trouble. :)

We'll do our best to make quick work of the remaining prison obstacles. :D


Male Half Elf (AC: 15|11|14 - For:+4 | Rex:+3| Wil:+5- Per:+2Init:+3)

I shudder to think of the unholy things that Price will do with that owl.

Saute it? Braise it in white wine with some mushrooms to give it a bit of a woody flavor?

Yes... the horror. The horror.


HP 21 | AC/T/FF 14/12/12 | CMD 17 | F+3 / R+3 / W+8 | Init +6; PER +10 | Image

:Price goes into EVIL (if that isn't redundant) Martha Stewart mode:

"Of course, before you get too comfortable... I'd like to point out that a 'proper' saute requires a bit of butter or fat to do the job correctly. And, naturally, the fat of toddlers baptised in the church of Sarenrae is preferable. They provide that trace of irony that really brings out the best flavors in the dish. Now, you'll want to use a hot skillet for this next step..."

She could be one of us. She's done more time than we have.


HP 21 | AC/T/FF 14/12/12 | CMD 17 | F+3 / R+3 / W+8 | Init +6; PER +10 | Image

Well said. :)


Male Half Elf (AC: 15|11|14 - For:+4 | Rex:+3| Wil:+5- Per:+2Init:+3)

Now I am tempted to ask the boards to stat up Martha Stewart.


Male Half Elf (AC: 15|11|14 - For:+4 | Rex:+3| Wil:+5- Per:+2Init:+3)

Did everybody die this weekend?


I hope not. I'm guessing we're waiting on Xanos. Though maybe Mark couldn't post this weekend.

Should find out soon, hopefully.


King of Talingarde

Sorry about that. While I was waiting for Xanos, I could've sworn I responded to your attacks. Probably the crazy just taking ahold of me.

Sorry. As usual it's tough for me to post on weekends. That trend should only last another month or so then, and then you won't have to hold the game up for me anymore.


Not a problem from my perspective. My weekends are pretty busy, too.


King of Talingarde

Naw, weekends suck for alot of people. Don't worry about it.


Boom! Team Evil taking care of business!


HP 21 | AC/T/FF 14/12/12 | CMD 17 | F+3 / R+3 / W+8 | Init +6; PER +10 | Image

LOL. Trying to...

Too bad that guard had a shield strapped to his arm, otherwise I think Price would have spanged him pretty good with that second hit.


Yah, hope it wasn't rash of Cain to head into the other room.


HP 21 | AC/T/FF 14/12/12 | CMD 17 | F+3 / R+3 / W+8 | Init +6; PER +10 | Image

We'll see. That's the fun of low level characters right? A battle can turn on a lucky blow or two. :) Besides, with the sheer amount of damage you did, it would be almost a waste not to expend it on a fresh guard - the guy goes from cocky to pulped in 6 seconds!


HP 21 | AC/T/FF 14/12/12 | CMD 17 | F+3 / R+3 / W+8 | Init +6; PER +10 | Image

Oops... Xz, I think you forgot to add the additional crit 1d4 die to Gwyn's CdG.


Eep. Here's to hoping we can help our little thief pull through.


HP 21 | AC/T/FF 14/12/12 | CMD 17 | F+3 / R+3 / W+8 | Init +6; PER +10 | Image

I'll be doing the healin' feelin' on her after I polish off this guard - assuming he doesn't crit my ass into next week. :)

Mark, do you want me to run the creatures I summon? I know some GMs like to run them as NPCs, so I figured I'd ask before I posted for my dog skeleton.


Nice visual, Xanos!

Thanks. :)


HP 21 | AC/T/FF 14/12/12 | CMD 17 | F+3 / R+3 / W+8 | Init +6; PER +10 | Image

I wanna see the ghost dog attempt to digest parts of the guard. :)


Male Half Elf (AC: 15|11|14 - For:+4 | Rex:+3| Wil:+5- Per:+2Init:+3)

This is the first time that you guys seem like you might not sweep.


HP 21 | AC/T/FF 14/12/12 | CMD 17 | F+3 / R+3 / W+8 | Init +6; PER +10 | Image

Yep. Sad but true. Price was going to be exuberant if we managed to clean sweep the prison with no one taking more than a scratch. I was actually trying to figure out what 'exuberant' looks like on Price. :)

Sadly, the guards have ruined our perfect record... thus Price's vengeance must be great!


Percep +4. Init +8 -- Hp 50/50. AC 18, t12, ff16. Fort+4, Ref+4, Will+6

A couple minor mechanical things:

1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 second level hit point roll.

I owe Shulme a bonus non-combat feat, which will be Skill Focus (Knowledge Arcana).

Does the crime replace a trait, or is it in addition? If the former I will drop the Eastern Mysteries trait.


1d4?

According to the character creation guidelines I roll half the class hit die and add the other half.

Shulme is so badass, he doesn't need more than a d4.

Mark is using the "1/2 plus 1/2" hit point rules.


HP 21 | AC/T/FF 14/12/12 | CMD 17 | F+3 / R+3 / W+8 | Init +6; PER +10 | Image

Yeah, I like my answer better. :p

Shulme, Fargo,, if you take a look at our names you'll see our basic combat info displayed.

We do that by putting the stats where race/class should be.

You don't have to follow suit, but it's a super handy trick.


And caught up. Almost out, I see.

Wooboy, love activity! Response time.

I did indeed forget the additional 1d4 damage for the crit. I'll handle that in Gameplay.

Xanos, and anyone else. Feel free to control your own summoned creatures. As long as it's not something crazy (like having a pony disable a trap), I'm fine with it.

The crime trait replaces one of your two traits. So it'll be one crime trait, one whatever trait.

Hit points are just as Shulme rolled. One half + One half rolled (so a d10 is 1d5+5, d6 is 1d3+3).

Thanks for following along, Gary! Hope you're liking what you see.

Ponies can totally disarm traps.

Pony goes down hall. Triggers trap. Pony dies. Trap is disarmed.

Trapspringing is at least half the reason Mount exists as a spell.


King of Talingarde

Well played, Xanos. Well played.

I think it was Ptolus that had this leash thing, where you find a rat in a dungeon, put this leash on them and let them run ahead of you. If you didn't need it, the leash could be rolled up in a ball for easy storage. Rat dies? Capture a new one! Sooooo inhumane.

Wow, both of you beat me to the punch while I was typing. Damn ninjas! Damn phone posting. :)

I deleted my successful sense notice check because it was redundant, and because Xanos' response would be the same in either case.

Also, because the summon went off at the start of Xanos' action (and directing controlled creatures is free), Xanos still has a full round of actions left. For now I guess he's holding.


HP 21 | AC/T/FF 14/12/12 | CMD 17 | F+3 / R+3 / W+8 | Init +6; PER +10 | Image

Sorry to poach your pigeon, Xanos. You get the next one. :) Now I hope the guard takes Price's deal... I've got something character-defining in mind.


Male Half Elf (AC: 15|11|14 - For:+4 | Rex:+3| Wil:+5- Per:+2Init:+3)

We get pigeon to in this campaign. This is great.

Take it away Price. I enjoy watching you work.
