Ironperenti's Rise of the Runelords Campaign

Game Master Ironperenti

@Forest: where did lowlight vision come from? I assume it is an alternate human trait.

It is the heart of the fey alternate racial trait that replaces skilled. Took it primarily for perception’ s as a class skill.

34 new posts in one day? What is even happening?!?

it was a bunch of discussion and introducing the new guy. He is in a different situation than you guys so it is moving a little more quickly. The others were discussing options and then initiated combat with the goblins in the hall.

Yeah it’s just always a rush to catch up!

What is the one untyped bonus? If you are using ABP rules, we scratched that. It was causing issues so I stopped using it.

It’s from Hero Lab. Plate has +1 dex normally, +1 for armor training, and +1 from your masterwork armor for +3 total. Since there isn’t a way to modify armor in Hero Lab, I just added an extra untyped AC. The +2 dex and +1 untyped bonus is basically +3 dex. I used to do character sheets by hand, but I’m too busy with work these days so I use Hero Lab which isn’t a huge fan of house rules.

With the holidays, should we bot Isabella to keep things moving?

I just did and will not wait so long next time. I wanted to wait until after the weekend. You guys can suggest actions or I can make her take actions. Zandril needs to be botted as well. I can just make him do stuff but it would be better if you guys state what you want him to do.

Didn't realize that I was on tap. The circumstances of the vacation period are screwing with my scheduling, and on top of that one of my old friends and co-workers just died of covid.

no worries. I figured it was holiday stuff. We still love you.

I have never seen a site have as many issues as they do.

For those that don't know, they suggest you clear your cookies. That did not work for me the first time, but eventually, after some refreshing the login took.

clearing cookies worked for me on my apple, on my windows machine I just opened up in another browser. It definitely seems to be a cookie issue.

When I tried, clearing the cookies did not work until I opened Private Messages or My Profile or one of the other user pages.

How many minutes has gone by since the last combat ended? Combat Stamina regenerates at 1 per minute spent doing nonstrenuous activity.

Call it 5.

With a +0 in Diplomacy, I don't know that I should be the one doing the talking.

I think Camil or Isabella would have a better chance of accomplishing something. Remind the king that our prisoners will be killed if we are attacked. See about having him disband the goblin army since we can't have them threatening the town. Maybe see if we can get any more info about their plan or what the women were doing in the basement.

Much discussion, looking, tying and various other actions have taken place. Assume it has been 20 minutes since you met Forest.

Isabella is, shall we say, biased.

K I tried! LOL

I sort of remember a house ruled levelling thing with stats at level 4 for this game, are we using that, or standard? Either is fine with me.

Thanks!
Camil

Level 4 ability bonus. Everyone should have picked mental or physical as their preferred. You get 2 pts to put toward your preferred stats and 1 pt toward the other. The 2 pts cannot be stacked but to get anything greater than a 20 you must expend both points to get 1.

Preferred stats
>You may raise any two physical stats by 1 point
STR +1 CON +1 etc.
>You may not add both points to the same stat at the same level
>If you have a stat that is currently 20 and wish to raise it to 21 you must expend both points to get the 21.

Non-preferred stats
>You may raise any one physical stat by 1 point
>If by some happenstance you have a non-preferred stat that is 20 you must wait until you have two ability score points to raise it to 21.

Questions?

Hit Points

maximum for the die minus 2 so that you have d6 = 4, d8 = 6, d10 = 8, d12 = 10

So if I'm mental preferred, I can add +1 Int (17), +1 Cha(15), and +1 Dex(17)? I think that's what I understand.

Yep

There is a +1 breastplate in the loot pile. Would it be a one size fits all, or will Runt need to get custom made weapons and armor if she wants enchanted items?

Is anyone else interested in it?

Other than that item, she would go for a fire sale.

I like the idea of self adjusting magical garments to include armor. As for weapons, she is still a medium creature so there should be no issues there.

Actually we decided she could be small due to the dwarfism.Her weapon is small and only does a d6,

Really, I didn't recall that. Same thing with weapons matching size as well. Only magic ones though.

Level 4: Fighter
Stat increase: +1 STR, +1 DEX, +1 WIS.
Bonus Fighter Feat: Toughness.

Think that's everything important.

Level 4 Investigator: (+1 formula known)
Stats: +1 Dex, Int, Cha
formulas added: Cure Moderate Wounds, Invisibility

Really, I didn't recall that. Same thing with weapons matching size as well. Only magic ones though.

Yep. It is as much a curse as a blessing really. We did NOT give her any bonuses or minuses to stats because of it. I will try to hunt down the relevant posts.

Edit: Well dang. I asked to be made small here but I do not see that you approved of it! So, let me know if you want me to change her to medium.

Thanks everyone for bearing with Isabella's breakdown and RP!

I would hardly call it bearing with it. That is one of the things I love about PbP, you can RP that kind of stuff without hogging game time and we all get to enjoy it and participate in it. I for one want more of that sort of thing.

Cleric 4
+1 Wis, Cha, Str

+1 BAB, Fort & Will saves

Hit points: +8

Skills: +1 each of: Diplomacy, Heal, Knowledge (religion), Spellcraft; Artistry (philosophy), Profession (farmer)

Nah, that was great RP; thank you!

Level 4 Investigator: (+1 formula known)

Stats: +1 Dex, Int, Cha
formulas added: Cure Moderate Wounds, Invisibility

@IronPerenti

Small with bonuses and penalties

Thanks. then Runt has been leveled up.

Runt exchanges her masterwork breastplate for the one she looted, keeps the scroll of see invisibility and medallion, and takes a silver comb as well.

Speaking of which, I don't really think the breastplate helps any since she is already getting a +1 from the MABP. Is that correct? Perhaps we should just sell it?

There is also an everburning torch, +1 bastard sword, cloak of resistance +1, wand of magic missile (CL 1st, 38 charges), potion of cure light wounds, scroll of sleep, scroll of comprehend languages, scroll of minor image, and a scroll of whispering wind to be claimed. Put your name on the item in the loot spreadsheet to claim it.

REMINDER: I dumped the modified bonus progression

@Runt: Therefore, the +1 armor will do you well.

Are we still doing the stat increases of +2 to main and +1 to secondary every 4th level? that is not part of the MABP, right?

Still doing the stat boosts of +2 and +1.

Sorry for the delay. The end of the work week was busy and then usual weekend stuff. I'm working on leveling up.

Ranger 4
HP: 8+2
FCB: +1/2 on critical hit confirmation rolls made while using Elven curved blade.
Skills: +1 to Perception, Survival, Acrobatics, Spellcraft, Know (nature), Handle Animal, Craft (bows)
Stats: +1 con, +1 str, +1 wis
Hunters bond: wolf

Assuming Zherxikas can scribe scroll, should he get all the scrolls to copy to his spellbook and then he can recreate the scroll for the group to have?

With my ranged feats, I think I could best use the MW composite bow with the strength rating. I'd also like one of the potions of CMW. I cant use the other weapons or armor.

Im not sure who has the weakest saves to take the cloak of resistance.

Here's what I've got so far:

Keep
breast plate armor (+1)(Runt), sihedron medallion (+1 resistance perhaps more)(Runt), bastard sword (+1), masterwork composite longbow, wand of magic missile (CL 1st, 38 charges)(Zherxikas), potion of cure light wounds, scroll of sleep, scroll of comprehend languages, scroll of minor image, scroll of see invisibility (Runt), scroll of whispering wind, cloak of resistance +1, silver comb (25 gp)(Runt), potion of cure moderate wounds, 2pp; MW composite longbow (STR +4) (Lavanor), potion of cure moderate wounds (Lavanor)

Sell:
everburning torch (sell 55), pearl earring worth 50 gp, 3 pp, Masterwork Breastplate (given in exchange for magical breastplate by Runt) (sell 250), a gold holy symbol of lamashtu (100gp), 7 pp 5 gp, a dagger (sell 1.5), banded mail +1 (sell 1275), MW bastard sword (sell 262), MW heavy steel shield (sell 160), 4 +1 elf bane arrows (sell 80),

If no one wants them, I'll take the everburning torch and the arrows.

I'm into it, yeah sounds good

Who took the bastard sword?

Also, what strength rating is the first masterwork composite longbow?
