Yo ho Yo ho, A Pirate's Life For Me: Skull & Shackles PBP

Cornugon Smash

Ask and you shall receive!

Thanks my mighty friend!

Hey, with the attack rolls I just had, I ain't a bit mighty. Wish I'd listed sneak attack (especially the scout version) as something on the wishlist.

That'd be a real shark attack!

Damn it. My fella and I had a Firefly binge the other day, and now that we're in combat, I can't stop seeing Aramis as a younger, smaller, smarter, female Jayne. The similarities are definitely there.

I am extremely close to exceeding my threshold...this is no bueno. Take as many down with me as I can. Wish we had that healer though...

In a pinch, I think Malak received a Cure Moderate potion?

Did this happen? I can't recall. The long periods of time where I only had access via my phone kept me from logging a bunch of things to my sheet I believe. Or is this something a Hero Point can be spent on? Which I don't quite remember the rules we had established for.

After the fight with the reefclaws, Cutthroat slide you a potion and told you it was some sort of healing. So yup, you have that.

Well, gollie gee! Thank you Maera for remembering for me. I will add that to my sheet and wait until Round 3 concludes to use it in Round 4. However, I am foggy on whether or not the +1/level effect still applies with the 2d8 potion roll.

Minimum caster level to cast the spell, so 2d8+3.

Okay, I guess spells always confuse me this way. Is the caster level always 1+ current level? Just to clear this up, sorry I have been playing Star Wars Edge of the Empire a lot and forgotten a lot of Pathfinder nuances. Forgive my insolence mighty GM.

It's either your level (if you're a caster) or it's the minimum level to cast that spell. So, in the case of the spell the potion is based on, you must be a level 3 caster to cast it. So...it's (healing amount)+the appropriate caster level (in this case 3).

:)

Ah-ha! Now I see. I was trying to find the place in the book for it but had no luck.

Yet antoher example of why a nice cleric or arcane healer would be very nice. I want to switch on my Christmas wish list something for a talking monkey cleric or some crap to keep me alive.

Sorry for the lack of posts this weekend. Was a crazy time at work.

Happens to the best of us!

Okay, two things. First, any chance you could share the stats of that trident with me GM? Second, anybody have suggestions on what feat I should take? I am looking at something more defensive in feature.

I'll include it's stats when I put up all the loot from this event! As far as feats, I would suggest either toughness, iron will, or something on the more offensive (yup, offense) because you have two characters in the group who are pretty heavy defensive melee characters.

I'm trying to decide what feat would be good for ol Diabolito. It's definitely proven to be a good deal of fun.

What's the name for the dervish dance variant feat you are letting me take?

Doc, Level 3

BAB +2
+7 HP
+9 Skill Ranks (Appraise, Craft(Alchemy), Heal, Know(Arcana), Know(Nature),Heal, Prof.(Sailor), Sleight of Hand, Spellcraft, Swim)

New Formula: Touch of the Sea

Abilities: Sneak Attack +2d6, Disease Resistance +2, Cruel Anatomist
Feats: Weapon Finesse, Improved Dirty Tricks

Improved Weapon Finesse
Requirements: Weapon Finesse, Weapon Focus (Any Finesse Weapon)
When wielding a weapon you have Weapon Focus with one hand, you can use your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier on melee attack and damage rolls.

Hmm...GM, fellow players, any thoughts on the next feat for Diabolito?

Cool. It should probably also let one use the Weapon Focus (Weapon) with Weapon Finesse, since I don't think the urumi or the scimitar, for that matter, are light weapons.

By all means, then, I thought it was light. Regardless, we know it will work for you!

Now, onto the loot:

3x Potions of Cure Moderate Wounds
1x Potion of Invisibility
1x Scroll of Mage Armor (Magus Only)
1x Amulet of Mighty Fists +1(Also grants Weapon Focus[Bite])
1x +1 Ranseur of the Sea Reaver: A metal skull caps
the butt of the shaft. On command, a boarding pike of repelling
can be extended as a swift action, giving its wielder a reach
of 20 feet for 1 round. While the ranseur is extended, the wielder
does not threaten adjacent creatures or creatures up to 15 feet
away. The ranseur allows your to float atop of the water, no matter your weight. This effect functions continuously and requires no activation.

Little Diabolito wants that Amulet!

Read the other post, it was handed directly to you.

Leeeeeeeeeevel uuuuuuuup!

+1 to BAB, CMB, CMD
+7 hp
+1 to Will saves

Deed: Fast Musket (as long as she has at least 1 grit point, can reload two-handed firearms as if they were one-handed firearms - reloading becomes a move action)
Deed: Gunslinger's Initiative (+2 to initiative checks as long as she has at least 1 grit point)
Deed: Pistol-Whip (costs 1 grit; can make a surprise melee attack treating musket as a 1d10 bludgeoning weapon; of hits, can make C<B check to knock target prone as a free action)
Feat: Extra Grit (+2 grit points - total grit 3)
Skill points: +1 each to acrobatics, bluff, intimidate, knowledge (engineering), perception, profession (sailor), sleight of hand

Oh man, that was fun. :D

Woo-hoo! Thank you GM! For my feat I was actually thinking of taking cleave or something similar to go with power attack, or combat reflexes for more AoO. I like the idea of one of the ones you suggested to like toughness.

I'm probably not gonna be posting today, on any game. Pain levels are really high today and I've got a long ass work shift.

Any PFS players going to want the cert for this? We are getting close to that portion...

+1 to BAB, CMB, CMD
+6 HP
+1 to Fort saves

One additional 1st lvl spell per day, one 1st lvl spell added (Hideous Laughter), one Cantrip added (Read Magic)

(Special) Feat: Harmonic Spell
(3rd) Feat: Weapon Finesse

9 Skill Points: Diplomacy, KW (Planes), KW (Geography), KW (Nature), Perception, Perform (Sing), Perform (Dance) Spellcraft, UMD

Abilities: Waterstrike (Su)

I'd love some cert! :)

I've gotta get the updates for the character added. Still unsure on the proper feat for ol' Diabolito.

I'm not a PFS player, but I've been looking to start sometime. I'm really not sure what it entails.

Works for me!

Malak @ level 2
BAB +1 Will saves +1 Reflex Saves +1
Rage +2
Savage Sailor Bonus
4 Skill points to spend (haven't decided on those yet)
Still trying to decide on my feat of choice.

Aramis, you can register using your current account and you simply have to follow their character creation rules and run PFS legal scenarios. It's great if you have it going on in your area or you like to play online because it keeps things fairly consistent. Also, if you are a GM (or your gm) doesn't always want to write stuff, they could run a few PFS scenarios for a while to take a break from writing (though often times I spend more time prepping than I would writing).

Very interesting! I might have to start playing, then =)

Rolling for HP.
HP: 1d12 ⇒ 9
Picked up Toughness Feat. And will use my favored class to gain an extra Rage round.

Choosing feats is always my most hated part of character levelling. >.>

Oh! Forgot to mention. Favoured class bonus is + 1/4 of a grit point. Up to 3/4 now :D

Hey folks, I would like each of you to send me a message concerning your character. Where do they hope to go from here, what role you expect them to fill on any future ship, and any items you have a great desire to acquire (Long term, even unreachable goals). I would just like to get an idea of where you want to go and see if there might be ways to meld the story to help you achieve some of those goals. Or maybe even just get you to think about it, yourself.

As far as the Christmas presents go...most of you have a feat at this point. There are more items coming for those of you who have not received anything yet, but they will be melded into the story and a couple of them have not fully been fleshed out in my head. In the end, each of you will have received at the very least one feat and one item (Diabolito, yours were both on the same toy).

I assume Habbly isn't coming with us, is Sandra?

Sandara is. Fishguts is. Conch, Rosie, and Cog are all in. Grok is staying on The Wormwood.

+1 BAB
+1 Reflex save
Trackless Step
+1 2nd level spell
+1 round of Totemic Transformation
+5 skill points

Still gotta decide on the skills. And HP is....5

So still not decided on skills yet, but I think the feat selection is gonna be Toxic Recovery to reflect his survival against the demon rum.

Either that or Dazzling Display. Hmm...tough call...

I would vote against Toxic Recovery....

:) Ooh! Good to know then. So Dazzling Display would be allowable?

Sure

+1 Climb
+1 Intimidate
+1 Perception
+1 Profession (Cook)
+1 Spellcraft

And Dazzling Display is the feat choice.

Oh man! And I thought I'd be the one to get us all killed!
