We have been treating IcingFlame as the conduit for Liesel-Marie's kinetic blade. Would the Focused Blast wild talent be applicable to attacks with IcingFlame? Or would it only apply to the bare kinetic blade?
The correction on the number of feats also means she loses Extra Rage. With the new understanding of what's available, there's a temptation to try to retcon some things, but I think I'm just going to charge forward heedlessly. It's what she would do.

I withdraw the question. For the cost, the benefit is quite minor. Since I lost Vital Strike in the Great Audit, perhaps I should do Vital Blade after all.

Extra Rage is a bonus feat representing what happened to her as part of the Aetheric Revitalization received by the members of Team Ruby from the last chapter:
Finally, due to the way in which their bodies have been mystically supercharged, the following applies permanently to your characters:
Kyt and Nyym each gain an additional 2 points to their ki pools, as though they had taken the Extra Ki feat.
Liesel-Marie gains an additional 6 rounds of rage per day, as though she had taken the Extra Rage feat.
Mesa gains an additional 6 rounds of performance per day, as though she had taken the Extra Performance feat.
Rohan gains an extra wild talent, as though he had taken the Extra Wild Talent feat (even though the character doesn't meet the prerequisites for it). He can select an infusion or a non-infusion wild talent, but not a blast or defense wild talent. It must also be one he can take at his current level.
Note: I had planned to do this at the end of Chapter 1, but I figured that giving it to y'all now wouldn't hurt things, especially given that you've yet to face Ooruk the Crusher.

Some of you may have noticed, but for those who haven't...
I've begun the process of starting a new campaign thread for the next chapter in the Team Ruby series.
However, I'm not going to jump immediately into the next chapter once this one comes to an end.
I want to get all of my "ducks" in a row first before doing so, so I'm giving myself (and y'all as well), a five-week window after this one ends before starting up the new chapter.
I have said that I will see this through, and that is my goal... once the next chapter is started, there will be two (maybe three) chapters left to complete. But while I want to see this to completion, there may be those among you who may not.
So I wanted to give all of you the opportunity to decide whether or not any of you would want to continue on.

I'm in. If Liesel-Marie dies, I will roll up another character. There's still story to tell.

Our DM is currently having technical difficulties with his interest. He is hoping to have thing fixed by Tuesday. Fingers crossed.

That's internet... but, yes... he's correct
I can check the posts with my phone, abd use it to make small posts like this one, but beyond that, I'm pretty much SOL...

So... a technician will be at the residence tomorrow, which means it'll be late Tuesday or early Wednesday before I'll be back online. Most likely early Wednesday...
Just wanted to keep y'all updated on the situation...

I should have been posting here, sorry.
I had already subtracted the result of the unholy blight from my temporary hit points before I got tag-teamed. I started with 27 temporary hit points. Subtracting 12 for unholy blight left me with 15. My base temporary hit points are 18, but I have another 9 from raging vitality. I could be a lot clearer on my character sheet - I will try to address that.

There's the issue...
Going by her character sheet, Liesel-Marie only had 18 temporary hit points listed. Not 27.
Looks like we had ourselves a GIGO moment (Garbage In, Garbage Out)... to use a really old programming acronym. No harm, no foul. Just glad we could clear it up.
I will make the adjustment going forward.

Apologies for late notice, but I have embarked on my annual autumn excursion to Someplace Else(TM) and so my availability and access may not be what they generally are. It looks like I should be able to post in the evenings, but can make no guarantees, so please feel free to bot my character as necessary.
My current plan is to stand there and fume.

Sorry for the long delay. My 1st week back at work after being down sick. Had to get back into the swing of things..

Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm still counted amongst the living... even if work has me feeling otherwise.
The last couple of months have been some of the most chaotic my job has been in sometime, but we're finally beginning the process of getting everything to a semblance of order again. It's just going to take time.
I was also waiting to see if Colt's player would be able to post his own response to what's been going own, but like myself, they've been going through it as well.
I could've botted Colt, but that would've seem self-serving, and I want to be as fair as possible to my players. I have discussed the matter with the player, and I will act as instructed when I am able if they are still unable to post.

Glad it's just busy keeping you away from the board. We've had lulls before, we will have them again. Be safe. Be healthy.

Wow, definitely some stress and chaos, but all worthy changes seem to bring such in their wake. Hang in there, make logical and not emotional decisions, and all will be fine. This game should not be any sort of factor, don’t worry about us.
Updates to know you are alive and well, if stressed, are appreciated.
