Welcome to my piece of the action for the Retrocon Multitable special !
We will be starting on January 14th, merely 10 days away. Your PCs will be busy from January 14 through March 8, so make sure they'll be free for that time frame. If you need to change which character you will bring, you can still do that up until just before we begin.
In a Multitable Special, I expect at least one post per day and one over the weekend, I'll try to be as active as possible throughout this period. If you have real-life throwing a wrench into your gaming schedule, please let me know, either here in Discussion or a PM.
Also make sure your alias has up-to-date character sheet info, (I recommend that you use the template found in this link) and let me know if you have any special abilities that I should be aware of up front.
Conditions/Effects: Regarding penalties or bonuses/buffs/debuffs from conditions/effects, please, players, indicate any bonuses/penalties to attacks, damage, etc separately--to remind the GM and other players.
For example, [dice=Attack, Power Attack, Inspire Courage, Fatigued]d20-1+1-2; d8+2+1-2[/ dice].
Animal Companion/Mount/Familiar/Eidolon: Please create a separate alias for it, especially if it will act on its own.
Initiative: Animal Companions/Mounts/Familiars/Eidolons will have their own Initiative results, unless the PC is mounted on the creature. They can act independently or you can opt to have you and your companion act at the same time on the lower of the two Initiative results. The one with the higher result will be considered delayed, but not flat-footed. (If mounted, the mount acts on the PC's initiative.)
Miss Chance: I prefer that you roll miss chances when applicable; if you roll do, please use a d100, where a "miss" is less than or equal to the percentage chance.

Here. Sorry! I appreciate the PM (as I don't spend much time in the recruitment forums anymore).
This is Edmund. He is purely ranged, and comes with a Jaguar friend.
The other option I have is a level 6 monk/paladin reach build. I am quite happy to play either one- depending on what the group is looking for.

Looks like we have:
Wizard
UC Monk
Oracle w/ bear companion
Inquisitor w/ large cat companion (Range build)
Rogue (melee build)
Based on that, I would bet the bloodrager fits better? Though either could really work. We don't have a ton of healing/divine but enough of us can use wands to not have any real problem.
Selfishly, the more slashy-slashy types between me and the enemy, the happier I am :)

I'm not sure if we're maybe arguing the same point, but absent a class ability like Lore Master, you can't. Perhaps that's what you meant by the "usual restrictions," but Mun has no such ability. Mun most definitely cannot take 10 on a Knowledge check under any usual circumstance.
Lore Master (Ex): At 5th level, the bard becomes a master of lore and can take 10 on any Knowledge skill check that he has ranks in. A bard can choose not to take 10 and can instead roll normally. In addition, once per day, the bard can take 20 on any Knowledge skill check as a standard action. He can use this ability one additional time per day for every six levels he possesses beyond 5th, to a maximum of three times per day at 17th level.

The text in the bard ability doesn't change how taking 10 works. It just changes how it works for bards.
That has been clarified many times, over the years.
Lore Master just allows the bard can take a 10 when others normally can not (in combat, et al).
Outside of those situations, anyone can (Mun included) as per normal.
see the following for at least a semi official word on it.

James Jacobs is more than just semi-official. I'll note it!
Also, a minor edit to the text of Lore Master would clarify this without need for an FAQ and years of repeated questioning.
At 5th level, the bard becomes a master of lore and can take 10 on any Knowledge skill check that he has ranks in at any time.
It's actually the current text of Lore Master that creates the confusion.

Assuming they don't kill you outright...
Its starts out temporary, and can be fixed up the same day via restoration (for 380 gp or 2 PP)... or you can let him try the save the next day, and hope it goes away, or else it becomes permanent (and costs 1280 gp, or 4 PP to fix with restoration).
Negative levels don't neccesarilly need to be cleared (though most people try to). But they are recorded, and carry through, if you don't.

What Smarmy said, but there's an option B: abandon your animal companion after the scenario is over and get a new one for free.
"If a druid releases her companion from service, she may gain a new one by performing a ceremony requiring 24 uninterrupted hours of prayer in the environment where the new companion typically lives. This ceremony can also replace an animal companion that has perished."
Hi, everyone.
I've noticed your GM has not posted in a few days (I hope he's OK...) and so I've asked a backup to come help you guys out until he returns.

Are those statues on the map blocking movement?
Not sure if we just have that little 5' wide bottleneck, or if we can move past on the sides.
Sorry Smarmy, didn't catch your post here earlier, you can pass below the statues, the arms do not impede movement. Only the squares where the front feet rest have solid objects.

About the Plaza of the Brothers' Arches, your stupid GM (me) used the wrong slide, and didn't realize until you were way too deep in battle. (Remember those endless waves of Jey fodder, I mean, animated objects?)
This is what it should've looked like the first way through.

Just to comment on this. =)
I copied the tiles to another sheet, and was messing around trying to find a pattern...
To little avail.
So I went all meta...
Took all the tiles, and rotated them so they were all pointing with up the same way... that didn't help much either.
Then realized that all the tiles were not the same size. So looked at the height of the tiles, and tried to arrange them assuming they were cut up in rows, and all the tiles in each row would have roughly the same height.
That kinda started to show a pattern... but only worked to a certain point, then I hit a wall a wall again, with 4 pieces that didn't seem to fit.
Looks like someone else rotated a couple of those pieces, and fitted them in.
Not sure if that's the actual pattern they're in now, but if so, having just three tiles rotated differently, was mean! (if a good way to stop us overthinkers from attempting to reverse engineering the graphic =))
Heh.

I did rotate the last two pieces, to show the success your PC's had in remembering the future.

I didn't cut out the pieces, just moved them around a bit to make space for a grid, but your meta analysis paid off =P

Chronicle Boon wise, each of you can choose two different boons from the following list, the rest will be crossed.
Foes of the Forge Father (Monument District): Extensive wall carvings document the dwarves’ struggle against their ancestral enemies, and having read the atrocities committed by giants, goblins, and orcs, you have dedicated yourself to defeating them. You gain a +2 bonus on attack rolls made to confirm critical hits against humanoids with the giant, goblin, or orc subtype, and you deal additional damage equal to your weapon’s critical hit modifier when you score a successful critical hit against such a foe; this additional damage is added to the final total, and is not multiplied by the critical hit modifier itself.
Shrine Savior (Temple District): Thanks to your efforts, the shrines of Jormurdun are better understood and cleansed of evil influence. You may use this boon to reduce the Prestige Point cost of a spellcasting service by 2 (minimum 0 Prestige Points). When you use this boon, cross it off your Chronicle sheet.
Sight of the Unseeing (Seer’s District): You exposure to Jormurdun’s prophecies and ancient cults has given you exceptional insight into future events. You gain a +1 insight bonus to AC and on saving throws when flat-footed or during a surprise round. You may cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet before rolling attack roll, initiative check, ability check, skill check, or saving throw to add 1d6 to the result. Alternatively, you may cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet before rolling d% as part of a divination spell (such as augury, divination, or contact other plane) to either add or subtract 1d6 from the result.
