I won't be able to post through the weekend. Sorry, feel free to bot me.

My wife had surgery this week and I'm trying to catch up. Please feel free to bot me until I'm back.

Work is keeping me out of commission for a couple more days. I'll catch up later this week.

So everyone is aware I have been having PC troubles since Wednesday last week and am still in the process of getting it all worked out so my posting will likely be more sporadic than usual lately until it is resolved..

I'm travelling tonight through the next week on vacation. I'll try to keep up but will likely be spotty. Feel free to bot!

I will be gone June 21-25, 2023 for Origins, and Gencon August 3–6, 2023.

Hey all,

I'll be on a road trip through Tuesday--catch up soon! Bot me as needed!

I will be traveling internationally the next couple of weeks with pretty full schedules. I'll likely not post much during this time. Feel free to bot my character.

I’m not feeling well and need a couple of days. I apologize for the inconvenience

Had Vlad been behind Coral, I'd probably have done a single attack and then Acrobatics to move away west (to the left of Vlad).

Am I supposed to retcon my turn as well, or just let Vlad stew there unable to do anything?

I would really rather we had just rolled with the positions as they were instead of doing a retcon. Two weeks to complete a single round of combat is way too long.

Sorry if I am frustrated but the change has entirely invalidated the tactical decisions I made on my turn.

Vlad said he would be away, which is why it assumed he hadn't posted. I will post for him on Monday if he hasn’t checked in.

I was hoping we could just roll with it too, but I moved people around because it seemed that is what people wanted to do. I can't make people post faster and I was simply trying to accommodate from having made the mistake previously.

If it is frustrating for you then please redo your turn to move however it is you want. I agree it's too long and it's probably adding to the frustration because we have sat in this place so long. Had we moved on this likely would have been long forgotten by now.

The best thing will be moving on!

Sorry for the lack of post. I lost track of it being my turn and this has been a rough week.

@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.

Any thoughts on extra Teamwork feat?

Can someone link me the discord page please? I seem to have lost it somehow.

Thanks, not sure how I lost it.

Everything should be fixed.

Just a heads up that I’m going to be out of town with family on the 24th through the 27th and that I’ll be having outpatient surgery on the 3rd so will probably be conked out for a few days

I’m working on Marya’s level up and should have it finished today or tomorrow

Just an update: family is now visiting through tomorrow. I’m currently off my meds due to prep for surgery on the 3rd so I have the energy of a deflated balloon. I will post as I am able

Wow, too bad we weren't just turning lvl 9 because that would have been a wonderful time to gain my Vermillion Wings bloodline power.

A heads-up that I will be travelling for work for most of next week and will be unable to post.

I will be gone June 18th through the 23rd for Origins Game Fair in Ohio and then again on July 34 through Aug 4th for Gencon in Indiana and will be unable/exceptionally slow to post during those time frames.

Have fun at the conferences!

Heads up that I'll be on holiday from Friday until Monday and won't be able to post.

Spending 100 gp to get a "masterwork drum", reflavored to be added as reinforcement to La Guitarra, but the drum's weight/cost is added to character sheet.

Sheet updated.

Placeholder for Inspire Courage:

IC is in effect: Inspire Courage Provides a +3 competence bonus to attack/weapon damage rolls, and an equivalent morale bonus to saves against fear. The ability, as a reminder, stacks with bless, other than the bonus to saves (which is larger than bless’ bonus).

I am working on a post, work has been rather crazy this morning so it's taking longer than I expected to finish.

Heads up that I will be travelling between December 20th and December 31st and may not be able to post.

Having trouble with my vision this weekend so I won't be able to post much. I am hoping it will be better this week but it is making it impossible for me to look at Paio's website well enough to read anything, it's just too bright and they don't have a darkmode that I can find.

Oh no, hope you feel better soon.

I agree, I wish they had a darkmode.

If you use Chrome on PC, there's a plugin called Dark Reader that makes ALL the websites dark mode. The colours can be a little funky sometimes, but for the mostly black and white stuff that the Paizo forums have it's been an eyesight saver for me.

Someone pointed me at how to do that Damian. It haloed a lot but only so much. Fortunately after about 2 days of eye drops I am doing a fair bit better.

Hi everyone, heads up that next week (June 16-20) I will be travelling for work and won't be able to post.

I will be off at Gencon starting 7-30 until 8/4.
