Falcatania is ready to go. Thanks for the spot! The numbers should all be right I think, but please do look them over to make sure it all seems on the up and up!
Looks like a good mix to run through the gauntlet. I'll be interested to see what gives the various characters involved troubles (because it probably won't be the same things.)
same here, I believe I have all mine correct, been a while since I had to set up a profile.
@Bob, we're getting power attack for free here (we're using the Elephant in the Room Feat Tax rules,) so you should have another feat to pick to do something fun with!
Aja, the wildfire bard here. Will check my numbers and finish gear tonight.
How will this work? Do you make separate threads for everyone?
Right forgot that.
Cheers for the input.
Ready..I think
I could probably buy a few more useful scrolls, but I'm feeling pretty confident.
Well I am just here to hit things......really hard.
I am here to hide to hide invisible in midair.
I am here to spend the entire minute before the fight starts buffing, and then hit things ... probably almost as hard as Bob?
More then brute strength...........me ah no a comprehend.
On another note I got 2 potions of mage armoure with my last 100 gold.
Yeah, there are some issues that I'm not going to deal particularly well with (swarms and flying enemies are the two most obvious off the top of my head, though I'm not completely helpless against either,) but I did try to put a couple utility things in there both spell and item-wise to cover a variety of situations.
I'll find out how prepared I am shortly I'd imagine.
@Bob I don't think that the mage armor will stack with your +1 plate as they're both providing an armor bonus, though I suppose that it'd be additional defense against incorporeal enemies that the plate isn't providing.
honestly, not much else I could find for 100 gold to buy and since ethereal could be a problem it seemed like a ok idea.
Fair enough! And now I've tinkered a bit with equipment and am down to just 2 sp to spend. I think I'll save that for a rainy day.
Imagine our surprise when our first encounter is a rap battle with a sphinx, followed by a game of Go.
it would be fairly enrapturing
I'm as ready as I can be I suppose.
Nice! Looking forward to it. :)
I am curious GM, if we fail at the first trial, will we be able to try the other two?
you will fight, receiving no rests, until you win the gauntlet (and so a small reward!) or die. At which point, you will be resurrected, and forced into another gauntlet, after receiving a power boost.
From the OP. I believe that we'll go to further rounds whether we live or not. I have no idea what the rewards for surviving might be.
The rewards can range from a free ASI, a handpicked magic item from me, or to a free feat for your character. Depending.
Also, to make sure its clear, even if you die, you will be allowed to continue the current gauntlet (picking up freshly healed), I will also be keeping track of deaths throughout merely for the sake of bookkeeping. Once everyone has died once, the current gauntlet ends, and we move on to the next one, whether it was "beaten" or not.
Will we all get our own threads?
Right, I've made some last minute tweaks to the character for optimization at 6th level that can be expanded beyond and figuring out exactly how my preparation at the start of the gauntlet and between fights needs to look. Looking forward to starting tomorrow!
I'm here. Let me know whatever else I need to do.
Is all well?
Starting with a dragon seems fitting enough. Good luck everyone!
Oh, and theater of the mind should work fine for me.
Good luck! Starting with a nat 20 and a 30 initiative is a good omen.

I had thought a natural 20 on initiative placed you first, however I then remembered that was a houserule my old DM used so long ago.
also, you (or) the dragon are as always considered flat-footed until you act.
I also likely should have noted to use the base CL for scrolls, however, It was my slip up, so for this run, consider yourself having pulled one over on me due to negligence ;)
Also, just so everyone knows, I am using a random system to select creatures I pre-selected as my more favored enemies, so even I cannot say what all you will be facing!
However, I do find it quite fitting that a dragon was the opening one... poor thing.

scrolls of higher CL are very expensive...wouldn't touch them

Doh! Sorry about that. Is that your policy for potions as well? I didn't need to design this first round around those mechanisms, but they were pretty handy.

Its more of an issue about finding a someone to do it,unless you can make it yourself you would be unlikely to find one, and rather unlikely to spend the money on one.
No harm no foul though! Was a slip up on my part.
Yes potions will follow a similiar vibe, not too likely to find many level 20 blokes to craft one for ya. It would also be 3k gold haha, this restriction will likely be waived for the level 20 run.
I feel woefully unprepared for this XD
lol mostly it just comes from inexperience here, also I am ironically not a dumb barbarian XD
Well, I think you only have yourself to blame for not being able to will yourself to fly. Obviously you don't have enough happy thoughts. :P
Oh happys thoughts!
Ok!
(Starts thinking of the carnages he has wrought and blood he has shed)
Hmmm....doesnt seem to be working?
I am mildly disappointed to find out that the spell component ingredient for Fly is not a pinch of fairy dust. That would have been a humorous reference.
Very much so, would of been a rather fun nod as well.
I should note, I have the Defensive Strategist trait, which prevents me from being flat-footed before acting in combat.
It's a religion trait, so if you want me to change my deity from Irori to Torag, I'm more than fine with that. Enlightened Paladins aren't required to worship Irori (a Lawful Neutral deity), but Torag is Lawful Good, so there's no problem with me switching if need be.
Well, just realized that I have an illegal potion of See Invisiblity (it's a personal spell and can't be a potion.) Any objection to replacing it with a potion of Cure Moderate Wounds (the most basic level 2 potion I can think of)?
The Haste effect from Channel Vigor gives me fly 70 right now. And thanks for the potion change allowance!
Oh, Haste adds to your flight speeds? Neat! That means I could probably run further away from the dragon.
All of the hasted creature’s modes of movement (including land movement, burrow, climb, fly, and swim) increase by 30 feet, to a maximum of twice the subject’s normal speed using that form of movement. This increase counts as an enhancement bonus, and it affects the creature’s jumping distance as normal for increased speed. Multiple haste effects don’t stack. Haste dispels and counters slow.
I think it's pretty explicit about that. It's why I've got my move listed as 40/70 fly right now. It'd doubling my normal ground move of 20 and adding 30 to the fly speed of 40 I get from the potion of fly.
