@Coral - Not yet. I haven't forgotten, but this one I have given you has proven especially powerful and I'm not ready to give you guys more power just yet. I'm currently thinking you'll get it in book two.
Speaking of, we are heading into the final chapter of the first book. We've kept a nice consistent pace, with a few bumps when we lost some people but we've recovered nicely. Nice job everyone, thank you for staying committed.
@GM Thank you for keeping us on track, GM! I’m enjoying this AP a lot and am looking forward to seeing what happens when we get back to
@Coral If you are willing to wait, there’s an ioun stone that gives a +2 to wisdom and blind fight as a feat when you slot it in a wayfinder. I believe it’s incandescent blue sphere for 8000 gp. It’s my usual fave ioun stone to slot (especially cause most of my characters dump wisdom hehe). It would free up a feat slot for now
@everyone As for Marya’s level up, it’s not super exciting.
Put her adventuring skill points in knowledge (local), knowledge (arcana), and knowledge (religion). Her background skill points went into linguistics and knowledge (engineering). She picked up Aklo as her new language. Even though we have Lola now for knowledges, i still plan on getting Marya stocked up on them, too, as it makes sense with her background.
Her HP goes up by 7 to 31, her BAB goes up by 1, and her fort and will saves go up by 1. She gets new 2nd level and 1st level spell slots. DC of her channel goes up by 1 and she is putting her ability score increase in wisdom. She’ll be preparing protection from outsiders in the former and remove sickness in the latter.
@Marya - that is a good Ioun Stone and in fact my PFS Seeker cavalier has it. But I don't think he got it until L8 or so, and by that time Coral will have retrained her bonus Ftr2 feat to a new Ftr4 feat using the fighter ability to do so. That means, given her Weapon Master archetype, she can have two AWT options at Ftr4 (level 6). Most likely Fighter's Tactics and Warrior Spirit. So the Ftr2 feat is not a long-term investment.

Yay for leveling! A little slower level for me, but more HP and tankiness is always good. The bonus to Str puts me at 18 for more damage, as well as a bigger power attack from +4 BAB. Damage should spike significantly.
Level 4:
Class Taken: Barbarian
Class Feature Gained:
Hit points Gained: 1d12, +2 Con
Skill Points (3 + 2 background): intimidate (1), knowledge (engineering)(1), knowledge (history)(1), perception (1), swim (1)
Favored Class Bonus add +⅓ to the bonus from the superstition rage power
Ability Score Increase: Str
Ever going to take any more Fighter levels, Vlad? Your Unbreakable archetype gets a Bravery replacement that applies to all mind-affecting things. Plus a bonus combat feat.
(Okay, I just really like the Unbreakable archetype and am sad it is so often just a 1-level class.)
Anyway, Coral:
Class taken: Fighter (Weapon Master)
HP: +1d10+1 (+7, new total 29)
Saves: Fort +1
Ability Score Increase: +1 Dex
FCB: +1 CMD vs Grapple/Trip
Skills: +2 Perception, +1 Acrobatics
Background Skills: +2 Sleight of Hand
Ftr2 feat: Blind-Fight
I have her stat-line updated as if she has the Belt of Con +2, but am willing to give that to Feena or someone else. HP would be 33 with it.
Oh i totally forgot about fighters being able to easily trade feats out! I’ve really only played one character with fighters levels.

No, I’m not planning to take more fighter levels, unfortunately.
I currently get +3 bonus vs spells, spell-like abilities, and supernatural abilities while raging, so that puts me at +7 in a rage. I’m also putting all my favored class bonuses into that, so eventually I should be pretty good vs spells and such, so long as I can rage first.
Potentially Pain Taster later.
+1 Oracle level
+1 Con, for a total of 16
+11 HP
+1 BAB
Skills: Diplomacy, Knowledge (nature, planes, religion), Survival
Background Skills: Knowledge history x 2
Oracle Revelation: Life Link
Spells: Liberating Command, 6 level 1 spell slots per day.
Channel energy: 2d6
As far as the belt goes, yeah, I would not turn it down, but it likely would be better in the hands...er on the waist, of a front liner.
Today is my birthday, so I might not have a chance to post until tomorrow. Apologies for the delay!
Happy birthday!
Happy B'day Marya!
Happy Birthday!
Or ^ what Vlad said. :)
I thought I had to specify the chosen weapon for Weapon Master at Ftr3 when I get Weapon Training, but I get a minor ability at Ftr2 that applies to it.
Coral will be a Weapon Master of the short sword.
It's a light weapon, so the TWF option is there, and maybe at high levels she can get a Sun Blade.
she can get a Sun Blade
or two.
Happy birthday, Marya!
I hope you had a happy, happy birthday :D
Thanks everyone! I had a lovely day
Two questions:
@Marya, can Coral benefit from this now? Like I said, I am not a fan of how much PF screws you for not going first, but it is what it is and I may as well make use of it.
That was my plan! The buff is yours.
@GM, a note on Initiative - Coral's Init is now +4 (increased Dex at level 4), and I think she is normally getting Marya's Seize the Initiative bonus, unless Marya has run out for the day. I don't think it matters for this fight since Coral gets to go before the opponents.
I adjusted it, thanks.
Heads up that I am having surgery on Monday the 25th and will be unable to post for a few days. Bot as needed.
Hope your surgery went well!
I am attending multiple sessions a day at Paizocon next week. My posting will be much slower than normal!
Oh, did my dex damage ever get fully healed yet?
I am back as well, after a very emotional and busy week.
So to clarify my thoughts here, our enemy is only doing what she is because of her feelings of owing a debt to Mictena, the bird seemed very important to her since she cried out seeing it battered near to death, I'm hoping that healing the bird might put her in our debt and help end the fight on a better note than it otherwise might.
Does that make sense to anyone else?
Yep! But I still think we gotta knock her out. Usher's gotta ush.
Makes sense to me.
Not every opponent is an evildoer to be destroyed.
And in this game in particular it seems that many of them are not enemies at all, or shouldn't be, but are being directed by someone trying to do their job but blind to the greater issues.
I think that, ultimately, Aydie wants to help us, she just needs a reason to help us before she kills us and she would do so.
I fully agree with trying to resolve this encounter as peacefully as we can, unfortunately Damian doesn't have many non-lethal tools at his disposal right now.
Half surprised you didn't just cast stabilize Damian.
I forgot I had it. :D
Doh!
I hate when that happens.
Just FYI, but in the future, Marya can stabilize as a move action thanks to her story feat, and she can do it without a healer's kit either. In this situation, she could have five footed, dropped her sword, stabilized, then cast a spell or channeled.
I apologize for the delay in posting. Juggling working from home with the kids being out of school has been a challenge and I fell behind in all of my games this week.
I have to admit, that blade could be a lot of fun with spell storing and maybe holy put ont it given the kinds of foes we'll be up against later on.
Lola's largely using her spear and eventually a whip, from the Mortal Usher PRC, but she's semi competent at fighting if nobody else wants to use it. It is extremely valuable if we do want to sell it, though.
Yeah, it is worth a lot, but it may also turn out to be one of our best weapons if/when we start fighting a lot of undead. I mean 1d4+3+2d6 is pretty significant damage output for a single weapon on a single attack. With simply adding holy later adds another 2d6 to the damage it's meant for which makes it even better.
Thant being said, Feena would want to keept it for what it represents. She's sentimental like that though.
Holy would cost 32,000 gp, so it's a long, long way to go. :)
True, but it is an AP, we'll get there eventually.
Marya has got to stick with longswords to use her Iomedae's Inspiring Sword
Coral is a Weapon Master of the short sword, so the dagger is not of much use to her (even if it were to resize).
I am not sure when we will find an opportunity to sell and buy items, so Feena may as well make use of the dagger for now.
It doesn't need to resize for you Coral, it is a short sword for you for all intents and purposes.
I don't believe that is the case in PF. Might have been the case in 3.5
Normally, in PF, Coral would take a -2 and still treat it as a dagger rather than a short sword (so, P/S rather than P only).
Obviously the GM could choose to rule otherwise, but by default, I think it would be treated as a wrong-sized dagger.
Hmm, you might be right, it seems like it makes sense it should though, you'd just lose the piercing dmg type. I think it may well have been something from 3.5 or simply a house rele I never knew was a house rule.
