The dog is from the pound. She was abandoned by the local interstate. Vet guesses she's about a year old. She's a mutt, almost pure white, ice-blue eyes so she's got some husky. I see German shepard in her ears and body lines. Some people have guessed bull terrier is in there too. There's a squareness to her face.
Our current joke is that she's the best looking member of our family. People on the street will just say she's beautiful.
As sweet-tempered a dog as I've ever owned, but she needs a lot of exercise, and walking isn't enough.
Neil, glad to have you back. Hope you're fully recovered and met your deadline.
I am. And I did. :-)
Thom, I know you prefer 'core' material for Pathfinder, how are you on APG material? I ask as I have (finally) obtained my copy of it ...
I'm still confined to core. Post what you want from the APG and I'll take a look and make a decision.
It's nothing major - although the APG has a fighter variant I could use, I'm already set on course with Emerion anyway. There's one feat I can see that I'd want but I need to get my other features in place before I go there, so it's several levels away.
Furious Focus (Combat)
Even in the midst of fierce and furious blows, you can find focus in the carnage and your seemingly wild blows strike home.
Prerequisites: Str 13, Power Attack, base attack bonus +1.
Benefit: When you are wielding a two-handed weapon or a one-handed weapon with two hands, and using the Power Attack feat, you do not suffer Power Attack’s penalty on melee attack rolls on the first attack you make each turn. You still suffer the penalty on any additional attacks, including attacks of opportunity.
Actually, forget I asked, it's not really going to help much and I'll have better things to spend my feats on anyway.
Jammed at work. May be Monday before I post. Sooner if lucky.
The swim fin question.
From Wellard's original query:
Swim Fins (1sp for a pair), Source Adventurer's Armory p13 - Swim fins add 10 feet to your swimming speed but reduce your base speed to 5 feet. Donning or doffing swim fins requires 5 rounds.
I thought about adding a +2 to swim checks with them on. It makes sense to me. It could be the cheapest skill bonus ever, but how often do you get to use them? 10' seemed a little fast, but 5 is too slow. So ya. Anyone have anything against a swim bonus?
None at all, I think that's most reasonable.
real life cropping up. slow/no posting today or tomorrow.
GUys, sorry, words have sort of failed me the last few days.
Travelling for work 3-4 days this week. Should have evening internet. Probably 1 post from me per day.
FIred up about posting again. Got stalled on flights yesterday, didn't get home til late. WOrk's messy. Tonight.
Is Neil on deadline again? We haven't heard from him in a while.
Yes. Yes, he is... :-)
I have one on Monday, in fact. And after that, another one before November. And then, December...
Eesh.
Carry on without me. I'll pop in as I can. But, in addition to my freelance deadlines, my day job is also slamming me pretty hard right now, too. It's our fiscal year-end and everyone's trying to cram in everything that didn't manage to wrap up during the rest of the year. And that would include me... :-(
--Neil
The price of success. Good luck, Neil.
Jammed at work. Houseguest tonight. Should be able to post Sat.
The price of success. Good luck, Neil.
And the fruits of your labors.
Congratulations, Neil. Well done.
Well done Niel!
Thanks guys. I'm hoping it's a stepping stone to further fiction opportunities down the line. One can hope, at least...
While it's on my mind -- Tomorrow (Thursday, I'm leaving for my parents. Mom's 70th birthday.) I might be able to get somewhere with internet once a day, but even that is unlikely. I return home late Sunday.
No net for a long weekend. See you all Mon night or Tuesday.
Guys, just heard that FW had his appendix out, hospitalized until at least today.
Yesterday work emptied a bag of feces into the ol' ten inch three speed oscillator. I'll be down to one post a day for the next week.

No sweat . . . and I'll level up Keliwyn today or tomorrow. I just need to pick a feat and edit the sheet.
Ah yes, our other rogue ... we have gone from too few to too many!
Well, three rogues add up to a fighter (=-p) so I think it will all work out.
Actually thus far Emerion hasn't done too badly as a front-rank fighter. Deadly Defence has really paid for itself so far, giving him some extended hitting power he'd otherwise lack. Combat Expertise gives him a good AC ... I'd say this 'clever, quick & skilful' fighter concept is working pretty well!
Three rogues moving in concert and sneak attacking should be able to bring most things down fairly fast. Add in Heather's ranged touches into melee and Jeoriks smites and we have a pretty high damage output.
Kenan is a healer! Who's been talking? Who?
As a non-multiclasser, Keliwyn is the only true rogue.
Just sayin'
Rogue isn't just a class, it's a vocation!
Rogue isn't just a class, it's a vacation!
Hey get back to Sandpoint.
Work will continue hot and heavy until Wednesday, then I'll be out of town for Thanksgiving. Single post per day til Wednesday. No posts til Monday following that. Work should return to normal after Thanksgiving.
You know, when Heather's original player laid out her Dickensianly overly connected back-story I was way sceptical. But, Wellard, I've got to say I really like the Heather-Sabrina flashbacks.
As indeed, I enjoy reading all of your posts. You guys keep this game fresh.

Yes, it's good the way she works it in, isn't it?
I'll have to put in a few flashbacks of my own at some point ... can't have Wellard get away with all the fun!
Everyone, now that there are so many games going on the boards, our thread can drop off page 1 pretty easily, especially since I'm posting one per day or so. (Which will unfortunately continue Monday and Tuesday next week.) Please check page two. We might be waiting for you.
Easiest way? right-click on 'last' at the top of the page and bookmark the link into a folder in your bookmarks/favourites. That bookmark will then take you straight to the latest page.
WOrk continuess brutaly. I'll be on reduced posting for a couple days.
Speaking of reduced posting, Neil Spicer! Are you going to be super busy this month judging and advising and what not? Shall we ever see Akorian again? (Just wondering. Your choice. I've got a week of red herrings for the rest of the party before the play starts.
Billzabub. Are you still playing Keliwyn?
Hi, Wicht! I was going to go to bed early, but it seems a lot of my PbP friends are on right now. Is your whole family going to try Superstar again?
I think I'll give it a pass this year. Too much other stuff going on.
That's cool. To some degree I envy you. I put my boy right off gaming with one really awful DMing decision.

Not only is RPG Superstar going to tie me down, but I've got my Carrion Crown vampire-themed adventure kicking my butt. I just got some feedback from Rob and they want to change some things in my outline. So, I'm now further behind than I thought I was. So, unlikely to hear much substantive from me until January or thereabouts...though I'll pop in now and then, of course.

Can you spill the beans before my four-year-old gets interested?
I have an idea for Superstar but design creativity is proving to be a bit of a weak spot. However not entering last year, felt like a mistake during the competition. Its only 200 words after all.
Good luck with the Christmas writing Neil. And 2 kids. And a job. Impressive.
Cheers
