Hello fellow players and GM! I have a variety of characters in range: Skald 3, Archer Warpriest 3, Bloodrager 4, Pistolero 2/Inquisitor 2. Looks like a frontliner would help round the party out. Kinda leaning towards the Skald; I've been having fun with him lately.
I think this group would benefit quite well from another frontliner and a Skald is a great addition to any set of pathfinders. I'm excited, John has been sitting back in the wings for too long.
Anyone wish to discuss tactics or just handle it in game?
Dr Nibbles is melee focused. I realize this is going to seem strange, but he is an alchemist without bombs and without mutagens. :-P
My special abilities are injections. I can hypnotize them with a touch attack. I can also charm person with a touch attack. Typically I use defensive elixirs and ones that can do minor aoe damage. I also have a tumor familiar that boosts my Armor.
I don't do a lot of melee damage, but I work well as a flanking partner.

Re: strategizing
Let me know if there are any particular cleric spells that you feel would synergize well with your characters.
Bless is probably good. Hit would help most of us it and I'm pretty sure it stacks with the Skald stuff well. Other than that, not sure. I don't know what group buffs exist for clerics at spell level 1 & 2.
John is reach melee, but tries not to be front of the front lines. We have anyone who is? What about traps/scouting?

Frontline here! I also use a reach weapon and fish for AOOs, but have a cestus if I need to punch a thing. Just got Skald's Vigor (fast healing 2 when I'm singing) so as to try to not die.
Re: cleric buffs, I wouldn't say no to a Bull's Strength since I don't have a belt of STR yet. Protection from Evil and Shield of Faith are good staples. The other "animal/stat" buffs are situationally nice too. I think DEX/Cat's Grace is the only one clerics don't get.
And I got the ok from GM Dennis, so you’re good! One level 5 character doesn’t affect the subtier.
Woot! Sounds good to me. And I second Johns statement. The wifey and I do a lot of rock climbing together...though she fails to understand the glory that is Pathfinder. :-P
Character Oddities/Heads UP GM:
I have a Peacock tumor familiar that grows out of me. It takes half of the damage that I would take when hit. It has Fast Healing 5 while it's attached to me. It has the body guard feat and combat reflexes. So...2x per round if I'm attacked it takes an AoO vs DC 10 to boost my AC by 2.
I have "Preserve Organs" discovery. So...all critical hits and sneak attacks have a 25% of being negated and just being normal hits regarding damage.
My injections are touch attacks. Upon a hit, the enemy immediate takes a -2 to all will saves for 2 minutes. I can add a 'serum' to the injection as a free. Currently the serums only function as "Charm Person" and "Hypnotism" spells. The -2 Will save applies to the save for this as well.
Any use of the heal skill that could potentially harm my foes (AkA removing a barb) automatically does the minimum damage when done by me.
As a free action, I can gain 5 HP two times per day (Spontaneous Healing)
Any questions just ask. :-P
@John, I have decent disable device (+13 with tools) and ok-ish perception, so unless someone is better at it, I can take point. Also, with John and Engelbert being reach preferred, it looks like I may be your front man. :-P
Hey, folks! We now have Google Slides for the game, linked from my header. Please fill out your Perception and Sense Motive modifiers, and add your icon to the slide.

Taking Strength as second domain spell list for the Bull’s Strength. Enlarge Person useful to anyone? Otherwise it will be Shield.

I bought a few things: +1 cloak of resistance (1000 gp), +1 four-mirror armor (1275 gp), masterwork longspear (305 gp), wand of bless weapon (2PP). Ready to play!

@John I meant to mention in my gameplay post but forgot: Enlarge Person has a range of "close" (25' + 5'/2 levels) so it'll still be good to go when it finishes casting. And thank you! having 20' reach is quite fun.
Just to clarify, John isn't unprepared to fight an incorporeal ghost, but he also doesn't have K: Religion to ID it and has yet to encounter one to know of the correct methods to fight them.

Hey all, I need to apologize for disappearing. I got really really sick. I feel terrible for just disappearing like that though. I was hoping to get caught back up on my games tonight but I still don’t feel well and have no motivation. I’m thinking one more good night’s rest and I’ll be feeling well enough to go through everything I missed since the weekend. I’m really sorry.

Quick heads-up: I have a guest coming over for Valentine’s Day on Wednesday night to spend a couple days. I will be sure to post Wednesday but I won’t be able to post Thursday and maybe not Friday. Depending on where we’re at in-game tomorrow I’ll try to post potential actions or botting options. If we’re just at an RP point I might just need to catch up over the weekend.

I believe Nibbles has a familiar using the Body Guard feat.

Since I’m out tomorrow (and maybe Friday) here are some thoughts on botting:
I have 4 rounds of Raging Song left and as long as I or someone is benefiting from them I’ll keep it up until they run out. I get Fast Healing 2 while the song is active.
Note the wisps that attack when anyone affected by the song is adjacent to a foe.
Cause Fear and Grease are spells to possibly strategically use.
I have a scroll of Mirror Image to use if I start getting beat up bad
I get 2 AOOs per round and have a reach weapon (and a cestus if I need to attack an adjacent foe)
Other than that, just help allies flank and attack with the bardiche.
I’ll try to check in once more tonight if possible. Thanks!
