All right, so Thyste is sitting on more-or-less 2k gold. I'm thinking:
-Masterwork Doru (304gp)
-Masterwork Shortbow (330gp)
-+1 Leather Armor (1310gp)
-A potion of Reduce Person
Does that work? Just kind of a base upgrade to my combat kit, really.
I just realized how much this party must stink.
I'm sure neither gnolls nor hyenas are particularly fragrant nor hygienic.
Buddy is a wilderness Half-Orc (I was going to comment on how HE smells like orc after the "armor smells like orc" part but you already did.)
Lidia is a wild woman who doesn't care.
I assume Thyste and now Kioshi walk around with clothespins on their noses.
Thyste has a grooming kit and everything...
...but she is part fox, and thus doesn't find smells as objectionable.
You might notice she has a habit of walking upwind of the group, though.
Oh, found a math error-- my +1 Leather would be 1160, not 1310. Used the weapon masterwork cost instead of the armor one.

As I sit here at work, I'm imagining soundtracks for our characters.
Lidia is an Evanescence song come to life. Just gothic. See if you and I agree about the other characters.
Discuss!
Ben: Only not in a minor key.
That seems pretty valid for me-- I would also raise you "80's glam rock," with all of its cheese, emphasis on partying, and relentless womanizing.
All good! Hoping to get a post in before too long, but been a busy weekend.
Working for me! I really don't mind an occasional slow down in the game. I got lots of balls in the air anyway, so if one takes a little longer to come down than the others there is still plenty to do.
I went looking for a dinosaur of medium size that has swimming to no avail. Anyone know of one? Or a mega fauna? Heck, it's hard to find anything medium sized period! Flying would be useful too. I think he is limited to a velociraptor for his wild shape ability.Or can you always turn into a medium sized version of the animal and gain the traits offered by beast shape? I n=know that the beast shape spell/wild shape ability does not exactly duplicate the creature anyway, so maybe!

You pick a small or medium dino or megafauna. You gain their natural attacks, movement (up to what is stated in the spell), sense etc. but your equipment melds into your body so no benefit of armour and no activating magic items. All other constant bonuses from items remain like a cloak of resistance.
In addition to these benefits, you gain any of the natural attacks of the base creature, including proficiency in those attacks. These attacks are based on your base attack bonus, modified by your Strength or Dexterity as appropriate, and use your Strength modifier for determining damage bonuses.
If a polymorph spell causes you to change size, apply the size modifiers appropriately, changing your armor class, attack bonus, Combat Maneuver Bonus, and Stealth skill modifiers. Your ability scores are not modified by this change unless noted by the spell.
I can't find anything with swim until you large and tiny shapes.
Large
Plesiosaurus (swim)
Pterosaur, Pteranodon (large Fly)
Medium
Dimorphodon (fly)
Tiny
Rhamphorhynchus (fly)
Compsognathus (swim)
So it does sound like if you cannot change into something of the size of the creature you cannot take the shape. Does Dimorphodon really count as a dinosaur? When I went to the roll20 list for dinosaurs it was not listed there but was instead listed under pterosaur. What, then, makes an animal a dinosaur?

I recommend using the archives as it is the closest thing to an official list we have. Dinosuar list

Pterosaur does not appear on either list. I guess that means it is off limits.
I'm more than fine with that. It makes sense to me at least. I'm just so used to the PFS RAW obsession I tend to be cautious so that I don't get figuratively spanked. This is one of the things I like about playing non-society. The GM can and will alter things in favor of sanity and sometimes even make up cool things.
Yea! I can fly!

Just a heads up, I did send the email to transfer the thread when we first talked about it, but my experience is that they are very slow, if it ever even happens. Let me know if want me to pin anything to the game thread, as I'm clearly still watching the discussion (though I don't check gameplay) and try and help out sometimes.
*ack*
That's taking your time.
How high up is the crow's nest from the water's surface? Want to make sure I'm doing my math right.
Excellent.
Anyone else seeing a post about Goliath and timberwolves where the one about our investigation is supposed to be? Navigated away to check my stats and it got all weird when I came back.
Weird!
It's fine, I'm going to be... less available than usual, tomorrow.
Valentine's Day is a religious holiday when you're married to a goddess :D
I wonder what Thyste might find in there? Perhaps some metal gear... that would be solid.
Dang, Kioshi, we posted within a second of each other! If I didn't know better I'd think we planned this.
Instead, Thyste is just being opportunistic.
I love it when the total lack of a plan or coordination comes together!
