Two rogues means double the trapspotting!
Coral - Come join Marya, Damian and I in the discord server. We talk about Vlad, Rajuna and Feena behind their back! :)
Coral, take whatever class combo makes you happy. A bit of redundancy isn't a bad thing - especially when it comes to sneaking, peeking, and things that go boom. I wouldn't mind having a stealth partner.
I say go with whatever makes you happy! For what it's worth, I'm leaning most towards having Marya go Evangelist PrC at 6, which will double her skill points/level and make it easier for her to pump up those knowledges more, so that won't be as much of an issue. I like her niche as a book smart person and that aspect of her character, so it make sense to pursue that mechanically.
EDIT: Oh! And welcome :D
Okay, good to go.
I am sticking with Rog2/Ftr4/KnightX for the "everyman hero" feel.
Looking at what other have taken, the Teamwork feat is Shake It Off. Coral also has the Auspicious Birth (Conjunction) feat as her Level 1 feat.
Conjunction: When benefiting from a teamwork feat, increase the bonus you and your allies receive from that feat by 1, if any.
So she gives and gets an extra +1 on saves from Shake It Off.
At level 3 (Rog2/Ftr1) she will take Combat Reflexes and Bodyguard, to hand out +4 AC 4 times a round.
There is also a free Story feat? I think I will go with Glimpse Beyond (though not hoping to get the Completion Benefit).
Edit: how do I get added to the Roll20 game? I have just about always played games here on the forums with Google Slides. Not used to Discord and Roll20.
That all looks fine to me Coral.
Here's the link to Roll 20 game, hop on in!
The discord server is hosted by Dakcenturi. When he gets around to it he'll add you to our chatroom just for our game. (This is where we talk about Feena behind her back).
Question o' fearless leader regarding the prayer bead...
The power of a special bead is lost if it is removed from the strand.
Is this bead, since it is off the strand, powerless? Or is this an exception to the on-the-strand rule?
Meh, I don't see why they would give you a powerless bead. Let's say it still functions.
Makes sense to me.
Hey gang - A few updates on some of our players.
A tornado swiped Feena's house and she's without power (but they are ok).
Damian has been swamped at work but expects to be returning to normal soon.
Oh I'm glad Feena is okay! I hope Damian's crunch abates soon, too
Yikes! Glad to hear everyone is safe!
Hey everyone, the GM got in a car accident on the way to work this morning and got a concussion. He won't be able to post until at least tomorrow, though
Cut it out, Zyphus. Not cool.
Geez! What is with this string of bad luck?
Everyone stay safe!
I visited the concussion doctor yesterday and found out that this head injury thing takes longer to recover that I was hoping. I'm not allowed to return to work this week yet, but I'm slowly trying to do more. I'm having vision and concentration problems, so reading is hard. I'll try to start getting posts in, but my level of posting will probably be lower for awhile yet.
Thanks for being patient!
If you need to take a hiatus, do it. Your health is more important and the game can wait.
Take all the time you need.
Hi guys!
Progress is slow. I started back at work today for a few hours from home. I'm still not going to work full time for at least another week. I am going to try post, but it will be slow for awhile until my comprehension and focus returns. Thanks for being patient!
Take your time!
A note to all my games that I won't be able to post for the next few days as I'm doing a 3-day workshop over the weekend. Feel free to bot me as needed.
Oh I'm back but not actively in that fight so I don't know about it yet.
Hi everyone! It’s Pride weekend here in SF so the wife and I will be extra busy so my posting will be limited to nonexistent until Sunday evening. Thanks for the understanding!
Limited access today. Coral isn't taking the lead on Diplomacy but you can bot her in combat if needed.
I'm headed to the beach until 7/15. I'll check in occasionally, but posting will be slower for the next week and a half.
Hey, I just realized that you are still rolling twice and taking the better for Raj. That ability of Marya's has a limited number of uses each day, 6 at this point, and she's run through that a while ago
Thanks Marya, I had forgotten that bit. I'll try to keep track of it moving forward.
- - -
This next week and a half is going to be very busy for me. My boss just accepted another job and so I'm going to have to start acting for him during the transition while I prepare to apply for that job. In addition, I am starting preparations for my annual bocce tournament that I host next Saturday which takes ALL of my time (I literally take the whole week off to prepare).
I hoping as we move through the end of the summer things will get a little more consistent for me. I've had a rough summer, I apologize for the slower response and I appreciate all of your patience!
I will be out of town Wed thru Sunday at GenCon this week and unable to post during that time. Please bot me as needed.
The first draft of my thesis is due August 8th so I'm going to be extra busy crunching, but I should be able to do some quick combat posting and such
I am away from Friday 9th to Monday 12th, doing some hiking in the Belgian Ardennes.
Hey everyone! Just updating I'm going to be crunching on my thesis for the rest of this week so I'm unfortunately not going to be available much for pbp at all. I apologize for any inconvenience!
My tournament is finished and I'm starting to ramp back up in my games. Thanks for being patient with me.
I’m back from my thesis crunch! I’ll be getting caught up on pbps today and will try to get posts up in all of them by the end of the day. Thank you for understanding!
I am on limited access for a few days - mostly on phone which means no Roll20. Planning to 5' step into a flank and stab one, but am waiting to see if Marya does her Inspiring Sword again. I try not to be so eager that I miss out on buffs.
Sorry for my absence. I had projects that had me working 7 days a week. I've put a stake in the heart of the nastiest ones so I should return to my normal posting rate.
Yeah, for a low level enemy tooth fairies are freaking vicious. The Cha damage is nasty and I hate anything that disfigures my characters. Teethfairies must die!!!!
I see that both Damian and Vlad are Fey Foundlings. Chance of a family reunion here in this fey palace?
We've lost contact with Rajuna. It's been about 3 weeks since he's posted and I've sent him a PM. Since he's not on discord, I can't ping him there either. We'll give him another week and then talk about replacements.
If you're out there Rajuna, I hope all is well!
Oh no D:
Now that we're out of combat, I'll probably skip adding Rajuna to future encounters for the time being.
In the interest of accommodating and including Damian as much as possible, how do people feel about us all learning the sign language version of common?
That would be helpful when you talk to him (which he can understand already by reading lips), but I'm afraid it won't work when talking to others. I'm happy to keep at it as I have been so far, and we can assume that someone is briefing him in a spare moment. :)

While I'm all for including everyone's character, I've got pretty limited skill points for my build.
I played a deaf Oracle before, and part of the fun was feeling out of the loop sometimes, though individual satisfaction with that may vary.
If you'd like us to learn it, I'm sure I could find a point later in the build.
I'm honestly not a big fan of the sign language idea. I think it trivializes what is meant to be a fairly serious disadvantage, and makes it a non-issue.
But then again oracle curses are all over the place in terms of their impact. Some of them are non-issues to begin with, and others are huge. Deaf does come with a pretty massive upside, at least.
Coral will actively try in-character to include Damian by facing him when she speaks and briefing him if needed.
If everybody else feels strongly about all of us learning sign language, then I will have her learn it.
