I'll give Rudrik a little more time before I post.
So, did I tick off Peter Benchley, or what?
In the last week, I've had three characters in the water with sharks.
They haven't shown up in my Starfinder games at least.
Sheesh.
And this isn't actually a shark, just a really big fish.
Yeah, but there were sharks.
Wait! Is it Shark Week and I missed it?
Sorry for botting you for the whole (short) fight, Rudrik. Wasn't sure when you were going to post. At least you didn't get eaten!
Sorry 'bout that! Many meetings this afternoon.
How very Tolkienesque. :)
If anybody wants to do anything else in Sandpoint, let me know. Otherwise, I'll move things along later today.
I mixed up the numbers on Blade Lash, it's 20 feet and a +10, not the reverse
Not immediately, but, if we like give her Baraket but then tightly control and constrict the manner in which she uses it?
How would we control it? Honestly I think giving her the sword is a horrible idea! :) She's arrogant, we know it can kill people - just seems like a disaster in the making!

No big Woo-Hoo at this level for Nime other than getting prayer. Next level she gets to fly, though. With her dexterity, it's going to be ... interesting. :)

I've levelled Theo up but it's just another level of sorcerer and more of the same as last time. Only new spells being Read Magic and Fireball (so if anyone wants to take that wand of fireball, feel free).
By RAW I cannot, but could I keep taking levels of ex-paladin?
Yes, that's fine.
So close I can taste it.

What are you building towards Rudrik? Duelist?
Nah, next level I take the advanced weapon training feat and gain the ability to finesse a bastard sword. Then the level after that I take rogue 3 and gain the ability to add Dex to damage on one finesse weapon, and you can guess which one.
Then I start sneak-attacking fools with a finessed bastard sword.
That just doesn't seem right somehow...
Just waiting to determine if everybody is going to Theo's house or if some of you are going to the Gryphine.
Half and half I think. Shen and Rudrik with Theo, Nime and Calendula to the inn. :)
Okay, I will post accordingly, though people can backtrack if they want to be somewhere else.
Note that the gift arrived at the Gryphine. Rudrik is at the d'Ontalen Manor, so he would not know about the gift.
Oops!
Don't worry, it happens sometimes! :)
I'll give Calendula a chance to post before I reveal what's in the box.
There will be no more attempts on your lives tonight, so if everybody is ready, I will advance to the next day tomorrow morning when I have time to write up a longer post.
Sounds good :)
Damnit, more Choice Paralysis. Like I haven't been dealing with enough of that now that I've gotten back into Exalted. :P
Any suggestions? All I can think of is either a STR+DEX belt or an all-physical-stats one. Would Shen/Nime be able to upgrade the latter as time goes on?
Or should I get something to raise his AC? Without his defensive spells up, Theo's only got an AC of 11.
Nime's going to fall back to basics: headband of alluring charisma, +4

Shen's gradually picking up all the appropriate spells and Nime has the feat, so yeah, give us some time and we can make it happen. :) Bracers of Armour +4 are handy too!
@Brainiac - could I get a headband of +4 Int, +2 Wis? It'd be 22K if I've done the maths right and I've got the extra 2 needed.
Sorry, the item has to be 20,000 gp or less. It's already a huge enough power boost, but you can get a lesser headband and pay to upgrade it later.
Might go for the three-stat-belt. Theo can afford a +2 set of bracers with his own money.
+1 adamantine full plate (17,500)
Rudrik = Tank
But remember full plate only has a max Dex bonus of +1, so your AC should be 3 lower.
Now buy a bastard sword and make use of your feat already!
I can't use a bastard sword as effectively until next level, when I gain the ability to finesse it.
Also note that my armor training feature increases the max Dex bonus and will continue to do so as I gain fighter levels (that's also why my armor check penalty is not as bad for things like Acrobatics and Stealth, due to the armor training reducing ACP).
In a few more levels (after doing all the bastard sword upgrades) I will pick up the advanced armor training feat and gain Armored Juggernaut, which will increase my DR (stacks with adamantine as a special quality of the ability).
Right! Thanks for pointing all of that out. You and your fancy class features.
You should still buy a sword before leaving for Hollow Mountain, since you won't get a chance to shop before you get back and you'll level up at least once while you're there. :)
I uh... don't have enough coin to purchase a masterwork bastard sword. (I maaaaay have missed if we actually got money from stuff. I already spent 1k on cat burglar's boots.)
Looks like you got 2,910 gp. You should have 1,910 gp left after buying the boots.
Looks like I missed this prior loot split, as I don't have the mind sentinel medallion on my sheet.
Got a +1 bastard sword for 2,335 gp.
And what the heck, another 1k to magic up my shield. AC 27! (Usually tanks wanna shoot for at least 19 + character level, in my experience, so I seem to be doin' pretty good.)
Or you could borrow money from Nime. She hasn't been spending money so she's flush with cash she doesn't know what to do with.
Nime could I borrow 3001 gold? I'd like to finish upgrading my longsword into Inheritor's Light, but in character that'd happen shortly before she redeems herself into a true paladin again (which might happen in the mountain, idk).

It's all yours.
Thank you, also Rudrik's comment about the boot got me curious and here's the answer.
Ok, Nime is seeing even more evidence to back up her argument for less clothing. She never has to make a production about answering a call of nature. :)
It only takes about two minutes, but you need a second set of hands.
A second set of hands can always make things more 'entertaining'.
On a sadder note, this armor does bring my speed down to 20' for four levels. So let's hope we don't run into anything that has an incorporeal touch attack, from which we have to run away!
(I now suspect that Hollow Mountain will be full of ghosts and specters.)
Yeah, Nime can't do that fancy 'Channel Positive Energy' thing.
