I was only half joking when I said Tim could've recruited everyone. He has a cat with Commune 1/week. Shelyn and/or the cat could've told him to do something and he'd probably do it xD
Suzuka can get daily Auguries for each of us and a more general weekly augury through occult skill unlocks, but those are less informative than a commune.
Anyone need their skull measured or their aura read? That stuff is typically what she's paid to do.
Well, oddly, Tim is one of my few characters that isn't in dire need of having his head examined xD
I’ll get my stat line all up tomorrow morning and updated
So, Jorian is going to trigger a probably-poison-trap while we all wait 40ish feet away?
That does seem to be the plan, hopefully it’s just poison and not some awful thing I’m not immune to.
Are you immune to poison tho? Its not listed in your defenses.
Are you immune to poison tho? Its not listed in your defenses.
That is because I originally thought I gave up:
Venom Immunity (Ex): At 9th level, a druid gains immunity to all poisons.
From the base Druid, but the archetype does not change this feature as it turns out.
So it’s my bad
Ammunition: Projectile weapons use ammunition: arrows (for bows), bolts (for crossbows), darts (for blowguns), or sling bullets (for slings and halfling sling staves). When using a bow, a character can draw ammunition as a free action; crossbows and slings require an action for reloading (as noted in their descriptions). Generally speaking, ammunition that hits its target is destroyed or rendered useless, while ammunition that misses has a 50% chance of being destroyed or lost.
oof, fair point xD
Need that thing that makes arrows always reusable, but for a grappling arrow...
When we resupply, I’ll do that.
Or buy 20 regular arrows xD
IDK if durable grappling arrows are a thing...
It’s basically a grappling hook designed to be used with a bow. It cost 1g, and I thought it was reusable. But if I can get a reusable one for 2g, that’s fine.
If you have the extra gold you can spend it now retroactively.
I made this character thinking “nah, I don’t need wildshape” and I’ve wished I had it at least 3 or 4 times already :)

Same to you!
Likewise! I had mine late, following a long family tradition of shamelessly rescheduling holidays to suit our own convenience.

Belated happy thanksgivings to all as well. We celebrated early then traveled a bit. My free time has been taken up by a slightly sassy but wonderful foster dog we picked up last weekend. She’s been a handful but a lot of fun and it sounds like we’ve got a real nice new family for her lined up so I’ll have free time again soon.
Also this adventure makes me think of Steven Kings Dark Tower a bit, I should have rolled a gunslinger…
Actually I did have an idea of some type of revenant gunfighter like the warmachine Pistol Wraith, but he’d have been even more evil than Baraxx.
Funny, refreshing myself with Baraxx now that I actually know the Kineticist class much better and, wow, Kinetic Knight is a real trap. I could have made every bit the flying tank with significantly more power and utility by going base kineticist with maybe a dip in fighter. Losing metakinesis and the extra damage from overflow is not insignificant, not to mention losing the ranged attack.
Still, I like him and he’s still pretty effective in combat, if not much else
what do you get in trade for all those wonderful powers? XD
Heavy armor, kinetic blade infusion at zero burn (which is admittedly helpful at low level) and a shield (which is easily offset by taking water). It also gives you the whip and whirlwind thing infusions as part of the class. Also you get the samurai resolve which might be really helpful when needed.
Going a dip in fighter (or some feats), dex based in mithral full plate with weapon finesse gets you just the same stuff. You’d be stuck in water to keep the shield bonus (which can get boosted by taking burn) and air to fly, so you’d lose the DR. And you’d need to take weapon finesse. But you get metakinesis and ranged blasts, and can still take blade and whip infusions. Going water opens the Kinetic Healer wild talents too, which can do some serious healing at the cost of some burn, which can be given to the target instead (so for example Baraxx could heal for 5d6 + 10 and either eat 9 nonlethal himself, or give the nonlethal to the healed target. The NL can’t be healed without rest, but that’s still a good bit of healing in a pinch, eventually he can do the same with removing status effects and even raising dead)
The Knight does give you free combat expertise if you want to go combat reflexes, which might really be the way to go, with whip giving AOO, range and combat reflexes you could be an AOO machine and add improved trip and really go to town.
This just makes me think of giving birth, for some reason.

ah, I was on the left xD
Haha! It was after my third-born I realized the nurses were just testing to keep husbands out of the way.
And this tactic is world-wide. Nurses in both Hong Kong and US hospitals put me on leg-holder duty!

something catastrophic
At Starbucks:
“Oh s+$!! That woman’s giving birth!”
“I’m a doctor. On it.”
“Is there a leg-holder in the house?”
(Looks at Delmoth trying to enjoy his coffee.)

I was just a hand holder on both. My mother in law was there for #1 and I was just kinda there.
Next question. My air cushion ability says:
…and you count as one size category larger for the purpose of determining how you are affected by wind.
Does this size bonus do anything for these hurricane tests?
Yep you're right Jek and Baraxx cannot be blown away so they are in no danger of taking damage here.
Interestingly, I was about to enlarge Lunk. So he could cast that on others and solve that problem?
Yes. Nik is SoL though.
Nik will have to watch Lunk get bigger and then burn his 5th level undead anatomy II... Now to find a suitable undead...
Not feeling well, no post tonight prolly not tomorrow. I have some rapid tests being shipped we'll see how it goes.
get well soon T_T
Sorry to hear that, focus on getting better!
Isn’t since I’ve heard some stories from family down in the big city or folks out of state that I realize how nice we have it here for testing. Process for us is to go online, do the little questionnaire and find a time slot, every time it’s been that day or next morning for drive up testing with no line. Results posted online usually within 24 hours. And PCR, not the rapid, so more reliable.
Yeah I've done that song and dance a couple of times. But the results are always a couple of days away. I did get it done anyway since its free and more reliable. I am feeling better, mostly I felt like I did after I got my booster yesterday.
Jek may be out for a little while, he for sure has covid, but I know he's vaxxed so it probably won't be much to do.
Well get better Jek. I’ve still got an annoying cough 10 days later but it’s mostly better now.
Hopefully it's the omicron version. I heard that one is much milder.
I hope it ends up being like cowpox and smallpox, and we can just all become immune to the nastier version by contracting the one that has hardly (hasn't?) hospitalized anyone at all...

Gotta say this, I really appreciate this group and DM. Shortly before joining this game I had just, sadly, had a long term group break up and was missing the absolute fun we had (it was also PBP) with the odd characters and the bickering (in character, my bawdy narcissistic cockatrice cavalier loved to tweak our reserved, gawky, naive wizard).
Didn’t imagine I’d find such a solid fun group immediately afterward.
So, thanks all.

Everyone level up, you should be 11th.
Baraxx gives Nik a dose of the squinty stink eye when he mentions slaughtering things with wings for his undead abominations, or at least the implication thereof.
But only a small dose.
Mustn't anger the one with the wings xD
Which reminds me, I think most flying creatures of large size might be intelligent...
So hey, i finally got a laptop that should be coming today in the mail. I hope to spend the afternoon while my floor is getting replaced to actually, finally, level and update my character.
BTW, I'm going on a road trip starting Tuesday, so my posting will be on the spotty side ^^;
