Wrath of the Righteous

Game Master Vinsomner

Yeah, I never got into mechwarrior. Around that time that I would learn about such things it was either warhammer, mechwarrior, or palladium systems. I was broke and a guy I know owns EVERY SINGLE Rifts/Rifts 3 galaxies supplement in existence including the convention only Dimension Book 9 which is impossible to find even on the internet.

Man that was a satisfying clutch win in Warmachine Tactics before (yeah; I backed it on Kickstarter way back, game's in Early Access at the moment). First game after they added the ability to make your own lists and the addition of some more warrior models.

Most of the fight was just sitting back taking potshots at each other, mostly using his Cleansers to lay down walls of fire around to limit how I could move my forces. Most of my Gun Mages were cooked by either the Cleansers' flamethrowers or one Vanquisher's cannon, but they did good most of the fight, using their Thunderbolt Rune Shots to push some enemy warjacks out of position and give my Defender clear shots at Kreoss.

By the end, he'd moved some forces up near my Defender, Stryker was staring down the barrels of about four flamethrowers and a Vanquisher's cannon, but he'd gotten too greedy for the kill and hadn't tried to tie my Defender up in melee (can't use ranged attacks while in melee). So while Stryker was learning to do the hotfoot, my Defender was free to move a few paces to the side and plant the finishing blow into Kreoss' face. If he'd missed (which can still happen, even when the UI is saying there's an 81% chance of hitting, the lying smeghead) then Stryker was dead.

EDIT: I really should've recorded that game - I've been meaning to put some Warmachine Tactics stuff up on YouTube and that match would've been a great example of some of the strategies in the game.

I'd like to use my turn, given my AC, and lack of standing aggression, to go down and move out, but I'm going to make it a point to change my dialogue prior, in hopes they won't immediately gut me. So yeah, I'll "Abandon Total Defense" and move out of Verim's square, if only because if I don't, they'll all probably try to kill him.

I'll move you down and to one corner. Dialog won't help down here. You're dealing with a few truly evil individual down here.

Verim is alright with the "Trying to kill him part" Also ACG AND TECH GUIDE HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGHHH!

I don't have the ACG in my inbox yet.....

I'm waiting for the print copy, local gaming store and whatnot, I do want to get my hands on the tech guide but I'm going to have to wait a bit for that. Luckily I'll be on vacation during gen con so my order won't be in until after. Man I wish I wasn't going to FL... I could drive to Gencon. It's like 90 minutes to 2 hours away from me.

Sigh... Warpriest...
There is ALOT of good in both books though, lots of options and cool character concepts.

I'd so want to make an Investigator based on Michael Westen if there was any way to make remotely-detonated explosives in Pathfinder.

Although those comparisons between the Slayer and Ezio Auditore have got me tempted. And the Bloodrager is just distilled awesome.

Android Bloodrager or barb, no fatigue after raging :)

Well - that's given me an idea for Iron Gods.

EDIT: Either that or a wandering Swordlord. Been wanting to use that Archetype and PRC for ages but every Kingmaker game I've gotten it into has either died or had a very high activity rate that didn't really mesh with time zone differences (I think it was like five or more posts a day - and there was some PvP nonsense that caused a big OOC argument so I just checked out).

No raging either since you dont benefit from it.. But I guess if you gave up rage for... something else.

Why not....combat programming :)
Androids take a -2 penalty to cha, but that can be worked around.

Ah; Constructed says that Androids never benefit from morale bonuses and raging is a morale bonus.

EDIT: Hopefully there'll be a racial archetype to fix that.

Ah, forgot that part. Pity.....
Maybe an alternative trait called Empathy that enables morale "programming", but removes fear immunity.

Though, they're not affected by fear, which makes a plus too.

Great CR causes panick on party
Android stands there...."why are you running, we've got a job to do."

I would want to play an android brawler with the archetype Mutagenic Mauler if it works properly. But for Michael Westen wouldn't that just be an alchemist with demolition charge and delay bomb along with traits to give him bluff and dip as class skills?

Timed fuse isn't as reliable as remote detonation - especially if you need someone to be in a specific place when the charge goes off or if you need to change plan at the last second.

Verim the Touch AC mentioned was the required attack to do such a grapple maneuver, I believe.

Also, from what everyone's saying, the new ACG is finally out and I can update my Warpriest, then?

I was in a group a few weeks ago that encountered 6 advanced mummies. Immunity to their fear-based paralysis would have been nice.

The key part is that the enemy isnt Grappled but the creature is.

And yes you can update, good news, Your Fervor is based on wis now.. bad news, you lose full bab and there is no archetype that trades anything for it instead. (Heck losing the Dice for full bab would have been a fine trade) Worse news, The blessing did not deliver as they said it would.

Man, this two week wait for the PDF version to release is killing me.

I have to wait a bit longer for my hard copy... then a years wait for the errata to put in my big binder of errata

Nine damage from those AoOs? O.o That means she's down to 2HP!

Whatever questions you might Have I would be glad to answer them

Can I change Luci's turn to include a use of Lay On Hands on herself? Thank god personal use of that is a swift action in PF.

Getting hit is bad mmkay.

What does Rage song add, exactly? I'm likely going to use it, if only to kill s+$$ quicker.

That said, power attack is definitely in my future.

+2 to str and con for you

But -1AC

Just a note Luci's MAX HP cant be less than 18 (10+6+2 con) so you have a LITTLE more but I noticed the error right away.

Whatever the case, don't you guys dare die on us up here yet. I'm not capable of reincarnate yet. ;)

Also if you're willing to submit to my ragesong, you get a whole extra 2hp! (which admittedly go away when I stop singing...)

Amusingly enough unconscious allies automatically accept the song, so if completely desperate can buy someone another couple of rounds before they die or get someone back on their feet if only just down.

Finally got my ACG PDF today. Took them long enough to process it 8(

Side note: if Maxwell has not posted by this evening, I will put him on delay. I want to keep the game moving. I apologize to Luciana and hope she survives what is coming at her.

Did you catch my question yesterday about editing her previous action to include a Lay On Hands on herself? It's a swift action when a paladin uses it on themselves and if I'd known she was so low on health I would have used it.

Go for it.

Shame I can't edit the post. I'll just make the roll here.

Lay on Hands: 1d6 ⇒ 1

EDIT: -_- Of course.

Maxwell seems to be having the luck of my Dwarf in a RotRL game.

You got incredibly lucky on the damage rolls Luciana. I was expecting you to go down this round. I was not expecting to crit.

O.o Someone save her sweet, tiefling ass!

Also; what the hell's going on with our healing rolls? My Lay on Hands roll came up crap, Tallina's CLW got low... quick; make sacrifices to the dice gods!

Are you sure you want someone to save her tiefling Ass?

Depends who's doing the saving. :P

EDIT: Also; you said earlier that Luci should have a max HP of 18? It's only 16 - she has a CON of only 12 and both of her Favoured Class bonuses went into skill points.

Well you dont exactly have a choice here... It seems you might owe Verim a kiss. Considering his WHOLE THING is about protecting others.. he might be taking some pain here. In retrospect I would have hoped He get attacked INSTEAD.

Don't go expecting too much of a kiss. And it may get worse if he decides to get grabby.

Grab life by the horns.. well in this case the Tiefling. Verim is a risk-taker.. Every little thing he will take as its own little reward... Life is too precious. Most likely in this situation He will either stand over you or immediately assault the Glaive chick and throw caution to the wind.

Or i could hopefully save Verim the trouble and throw a heal hex on Luciana.

Well at least you aren't bleeding out anymore. Thats a Plus. I swear when we go mythic I will wildshape all of us in our sleep to get fast healing.

Desnt really save him the trouble, enemy is evil, when an opponent goes down and another one shows up to kick your arse.. you tend to do evil things to not die, If Mia goes into this Melee and gets hurt too he wouldnt forgive himself. If he goes down AFTERWARDS you can do what you want.

I meant rather saving you the trouble and "misunderstandings" of kissing /go grabby on Luciana.

Don't ruin Verim's fun now! Your already settling into the child role too well, heh.

Hehe, you had rolled a perception that time to beat the less than good disguise didn't you?

I'll let the others do the interrupting then.
