Zinou's Among the Dead (#1-49) (Inactive)

Game Master Zinou

Oh, you're right! Thanks for the notice!

I'm working on how the early (IInd to VIth century) christian church's thoughts about about afterlife, especially Hell, reading Apokryph texts and texts about martyrs. :)

Farg might have to level up I have to count my XP.

Edit: Farg has to level up to 6.

Also Zinou can I have a ruling from you on the following trait?

http://www.d20pfsrd.com/traits/race-traits/tusked

I've always been treating it as a standard bite attack according to monster rules. In my last game my GM insisted that it is taken at -5 in conjunction with my other natural attacks as it says so in the trait much like it does in the Animal Fury Rage power.

Also found a JJ quote on the matter:

A: (James Jacobs 11/20/09) Unless otherwise specified, a bite attack is always a primary attack. A dragon disciple's bite attack is thus a primary attack. Of course, if the dragon disciple makes an attack with a manufactured weapon, THEN his bite is treated as a secondary attack. The bite, in any event and as far as I understand things, should inflict standard bite damage for a creature of the disciple's size, as detailed on page 302 of the Bestiary. 1d6 for Medium creatures, 1d4 for Small, 1d8 for Large.

Farg is Alex Mack--it's just a little confusing because it's the same picture as Vordrek :-)

Was thinking that too-- this might be difficult heh.

I also used this trait on one of my character but she uses manufactured weapons, so this question isn't relevant. I'd say this: the trait itself clearly states that if you use this bite as part of a full attack, you have to take the -5, maybe because it is not a natural attack given by a specific race (such as the bite from the tiefling's racial trait you have "Claw or Maw").

Anyway, even if it doesn't state RAW that it becomes a secondary attack, it acts just the same. So you should also apply only half your strength bonus to the bite attack.

Sorry about the bad news...

Fellow thesis friend!

I'm assuming you're either history, theology, or some sort of religious studies/literature area? I'm a sociologist myself.

Haha I'm a theologian (aiming to become a pastor afterwards). The thesis is in christian history, though.

By the way, Farg, could I ask you to fill the usual infos, please?

Farg will invest his hard earned cash into a ring of rat fangs which is a primary bite attack...

Very good :) Just keep in mind this is piercing damage only, not the usual three (B/P/S) a bite attack grants.

I have some remarks, folks:

First thing for everyone: You have a buffer. Please apply the buffs he gives you.

Then, Eladrian:
Yes, you can study as a swift action, that still doesn't allow you to use a swift and a full round (you can attack only once as a standard)... BUT if you apply sneak attack, you can study as an immediate. Is it ok?

Farg: What gives the ability to have reach? I didn't find anything on your sheet, but maybe I looked too quickly.

It's called MW Longspear. And it's super secret tech from the new "A Pathfinder's Guide to Killing Things"

Haha ok, sorry mate, I thought you only used your claws and maw, that's why I didn't understand :D
My bad, I should have read your post fully!

I'm not sure that's correct. You can use a swift action and a full attack in the same round. I believe you can even take a swift action in between iterative attacks in a full attack, but I'm not certain about that.

According to This a swift action, although taking more time than a free action, still does not affect full round actions.

You can take 1 swift action as part of your turn always. Even when only allowed a Standard action on your turn.

Oh! I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for providing the link. :)

No worries!

Hello gang! I'm just letting you know that I'll be in the mountains this week-end. I don't know if I'll find any wifi there.

I will be at a convention this weekend, running games and organizing it. See you on Monday!

Hello! Just a quick heads up to say that I'll be out of town this week-end. See you Sunday evening!

For those of us using multiple avatars and playing multiple games, I recommend using the Paizo Campaign Tools. I discovered them recently and love this extension.

Too bad they're only available for Chrome...

I believe there's a version for Firefox as well...

I confess to using neither...no not that kid in the corner either...

haha :D

So.. I downloaded the extension. What do I have to do to use it?

AHHH! Ok... I figured it out lol.

Give everything you have, folks. It's obviously the boss fight and he's tough.

I can also tell you that I won't GM the last one "Among the Gods", since every person with which I spoke to about it said it was a difficult, messy and quite boring scenario. However, if you want to, I can GM any from the season 6, as I recently got them. (thank you humble bundle!)

Well done, folks! Chronicles will be delivered tomorrow.

Do you want to do another scenario? I'm open to GM for the group again :)

I really have fun with your group and I appreciate the pace we have.

Did Farg get hit with ability damage or ability drain? Torean has access to the Temple vanity which allows for a free Lesser Restoration each session. But Lesser Restoration doesn't cure drain.

Sweet, level 8! I think I'll duck out of a third though, if you do one. Thanks for running!

GG guys, and thanks Zinou again for GMing!

Sure, I'll do another one.

I'm in for another. Torean loves Rolando's Weapon Song!

This was super fun! Thanks so much for running. If we're doing part 3 as a group (which I know Zinou said he wasn't interested in running), then I would slow track. However, since it sounds like we're not going to be doing that, I'll go normal track.

I'm in for another. Torean loves Rolando's Weapon Song!

And Rolando loves Torean's sick damage dealing! :-)

Plus, you have some awesome boons! Haste for the party and a free lesser restoration?

I feel like all of my boons are: "If you are in Absalom on the third consecutive night of a full moon, you may cross this boon off your chronicle sheet to roll a d20. If you roll 18 or higher you gain a +1 to a Knowledge (History) check (usable once only)." Gee, awesome. Glad I saved your town from annihilation.

So much this. "When you make at least three Appraise checks in the same combat, on any subsequent Appraise check you may cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet to reroll once. You must take the second result, even if it is worse."

And the gear is all 1st-level scrolls and a cloak of resistance +1.

Hahaha yeah! However, the skill unlock (thing to make a lesser restoration) was a boon only some of those who played during a convention got. I got one too.

Farg's constitution was drained. No unlocked heal can help it ;)

I need Rolando, Vordrek and Eladrian's day job check to complete the chronicles. Report is completed already.

Farg's restoration will cost him 2 pp. I'll apply the cost on his sheet.

Day Job: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15

If I'm allowed to use my reroll, I will.

DJ RR: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 13 + 1 = 26

Day job (Heal): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (19) + 15 = 34

Thanks for GMing Zinou. And it was great fun gaming with all of you! I have to concentrate on RL at the moment so I won't be continuing however!

Why does restoration cost me 2PP? Is this non-healing ability damage?

If the group wanted to continue to play, I'd also be happy to step up to GM for people. I feel like I'm a much better GM than player.

@Everyone: Thank you all for your the thanks :p I had fun as well!
I'm still waiting on Eladrian's day job check to release the chronicles.

@Farg: Ability damage heals over time but not ability drain. That's why it costs you 2 pp from the society.

@SWW: Ha! I'd be happy to play with you all as well! I recently set myself at a maximum of two tables at the same but I sure am happy to play as well! I don't mind playing the next round with you all (well, Torean, Rolando and Eladrian) :)

Then slap me a slow-track chronicle and I'll start prepping. Give me a week and I'll have everything good to go. I think She Who Waits just got a call to speak with a local venture captain about the nuances between "veneration", "worship" and why followers of the Great Old Ones aren't allowed to be part of the Pathfinder Society.

Ok! Which scenario do you wanna run?

Sure.. I am in. I really enjoyed playing with yall.. this is a good group. GM, I enjoy your style and attention to detail. You run a very smooth and tight game!

As for day job, I apologize.. yesterday went very much sideways, and I wasn't able to get on here at all.

Profession, Soldier: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

lol might as well have just run on without it, GM!
