I figured I had dawdled too much to still get a whole turn.
Welcome to level 2.
You made a good point about he furniture maybe I should have asked for checks to pull off the charge or something but a lot of people had charged by that time... they could always just move in and strike the attacks that hit would have hit without the bonus as it turned out.
Lvl 2!

Level 2
Pretty much the same as Kaeldron's, except that I'm using my FCBs for a situation that I may never see:
Add +1/3 on critical hit confirmation rolls made while using smite evil (maximum bonus of +5). This bonus does not stack with Critical Focus.
For my skills, I'll bump Perception every level, but I've also dropped a point into Sense Motive, unlocking the +3 class bonus, so that's a 5 now.
Background skills: Advancing Lore: Sarkoris and Lore: Vildeis.
Kevin, can I expand Lore: Vildeis to Lore: Empryeal Lords? Or is that too broad? I feel like Lore: Vildeis is unlikely to ever get used. It fits with a character trying to spread Vildeis' religion, though.
That sounds fine Davok.
Thanks.

I'll have to level up later tonight when I have access to my laptop and hero lab file.
Sariel will definitely use the longbow. I'll have to consider the chain shirt...

I'll pass on the mwk chain shirt since it stifles my dex bonus.
Is everyone else intending to go medium/heavy armour? Claire will take the masterwork chain shirt if no one else is interested in it.
Yup, just you and Sariel going light armor
Fredric going for heavy armour, aye.
Heavy metal thunder armor for Davok, too.
There are bad guys you can redeem in this adventure path but these guys are demon worshipping cultist who are defending their home, they've got a little more resolve... though given the damage some of you guys are putting out I'm pretty sure their hit points will drop too fast for their resolve to matter.
Is it possible to bull rush past allies?
Sariel saved the day! Based on previous combats, that should be enough to drop the injured Mongrelman and allow everyone else to charge through the door.
Oh! I had Davok try to clear the bottleneck before I saw this thread. If the combat maneuver isn't necessary, feel free to turn that die roll into a standard attack.
@Fredric I think you could but you can't finish in the allies square... which means in many cases no.
Gotcha!
The curse of the single digit rolls is upon us!
Yeah Radiance is a little mutable but not to the extent I am doing it but restricting it to one form... I'm stretching things a little but there is some justification.
One mutable, upgradable, holy weapon of POWA!
Who gets it?
I think it makes a lot of sense for Claire, seeing as how she's a chosen one and the sword seems destined to be used against the demons. Assuming she wants it.
Agreed.
A group of experienced, or at least trained, paladins, and one untrained girl. A girl who was born due to divine intervention and who naturally has paladin powers.
From a story perspective it makes the most sense for her to take it.
I'm fine with Claire taking it.
There's going to be several cool items for Paladins... including some really cool barding for a warhorse somewhere along the line if memory serves!
Really? Pretty cool then for the mounted Paladin bond. Add the charger archetype and someone will have a true knight.
I was going to suggest Frederic take the sword since he posted that bit about knowing who Yaniel was, but I'm happy with Claire wielding the sword, also.
And just FYI, my plan for Davok doesn't necessarily center around the greataxe. Any two-handed weapon fits within my vision for him. Especially if it's all barbed and jagged and demonic-looking so he can use the demons' own power to destroy them.
And since we're talking about future plans, at 5th level, I'm going to have Davok take the bonded mount option, but I'm not thrilled about any of the options for medium sized paladins. I was going to ask if he could have a dire wolf instead (sent to him by his shaman mother) and we tone down the stats and abilities to make it more in line with the standard options.
An easier way of doing things might be for is to stretch things and have it be a wolf. It grows to large size mechanically at level 7.
The totem guide companion archetype would be worth considering with the Shaman angle?
Very cool image of Davok riding a celestial wolf. Let’s plan on him having the saddle when it comes up.
Well, since you offered. She's happy to take it!
Random side note: you're going to be so bad ass on a wolf. Haha.
So... loot! I've added the gold and gems onto the loot list. Claire will take the wand and the two scrolls since she can UMD them. (Just an FYI, once those of us who will get spellcasting later unlock it she'll offer up any paladin-usable scrolls she's acquired for everyone to take their pick from. Not that these are paladin spells. Just saying.)
No complaints if we burn or otherwise destroy the demonic prayer book?
A quick double check on our loot list shows the only things 'useful' we don't have claimed yet is what we just got. Who wants:
- potion of cure moderate wounds
- potion of invisibility
- alchemist's fire (2)
- tanglefoot bag
- antitoxin
Oh! And does anyone want to use the +1 morningstar Claire was gifted by the mongrelfolk king?

That would be easier. Thanks!
The totem guide companion archetype would be worth considering with the Shaman angle?
I agree, that companion archetype fits really well, and I like the mechanics, also. However, most of the first ability "Spiritual Guidance" can only be used if the master gives up a spell slot to use the ability. But Davok doesn't have spells, since his archetype gives them up for, among other things, extra Lay on Hands uses. Could Davok give up a use of LoH to use the abilities under Spiritual Guidance? And then not cast any of those spells unless a non-archetyped paladin was high enough level to cast those spell levels?
If that's too much of a stretch, it's no problem.
Random side note: you're going to be so bad ass on a wolf. Haha.
I have this whole montage in my head where Davok is training him not to scare other horses. And another one where he's loping across some blasted hell-terrain mounted on a wolf while holding a greataxe out to the side.

But... but... money! Stupid paladins. (No complaints from me.)

Fred doesn't have any potions, so he should take the potion of cmw.
The other things I'm not too interested in, but Davok is happy to carry any of them if we want to keep them in the party.
Oh! And does anyone want to use the +1 morningstar Claire was gifted by the mongrelfolk king?
I think it should go to Davok, Frederic, or Kaeldron as a backup weapon, but I'm not terribly interested in it. One of the other two can claim it.
Kaeldron is all about his shield.
Also for good campaigns, isn’t it standard practice to turn it over to a church for destruction? That’s how I’ve seen groups get around not being able to sell, as otherwise a lot of loot ends up being destroyed.
A few hundred gold? Sure. An unholy weapons for 200k? Do that a few times and WBL goes out the window
Yeah, if there is one. And if you can't destroy it. Claire can't smash a holy symbol or break an unholy evil weapon, but she can burn a book.
Besides, if our WBL gets too messed up from us destroying (the things we can) then I'd just have faith our GM can fix it. It's not hard to drop in an extra item here and there.
Also, we have magic dragon scales, and I have a friggin' awesome sword. I'm pretty sure WBL is going to get blown out of the water in this one.

@Davok. I think we can work out some kind thing with lay on hands.
That’s very true. Burn away then!
I'll claim the alchemist fire and tanglefoot bag since I'm pretty good with projectiles. Plus I can retrieve and throw them with one hand while holding my longbow.
I'll take the potion of CMW.
Okay, everyone's spoken up, but nobody else claimed the morningstar. Davok will take it for a backup weapon. Thanks, Claire.
Sorry, I didn't make ny stance clear. Unless there is a very pressing reason Fredric will stick with bastard swords.
Since no one claimed it Claire will hold onto the potion of invisibility and the antitoxin.
I've got an extremely busy work week :(. Posting will be slow. Please bot me if needed, thanks!
No problem.
Hey guys, I’m going to have a crazy busy weekend. It’s unlikely I’ll be able to post Saturday, and I definitely won’t be able to post Sunday. Sorry if I hold up the game. Feel free to bot me if needed.
Thanks!
Vildeis' paladin code even specifically calls out not putting your own family ahead of helping others.
