Kingmaker

Game Master Galahad0430

I had a campaign where the guy playing the "leader" had to leave and that particular campaign fell apart in the middle, although we did start over with a new AP. I would be opposed to having the baron be an NPC. Any of the ideas above would work for me.

OK, I have recently learned some tips about PbP so I'm going to be streamlining a few things. I will focus more on main events and certain NPC encounters instead of doing every encounter because, as was pointed out to me elsewhere, many are just fillers for xp. This, I hope, will get us back to the earlier days of more frequent posting and give us a feeling of progress. As for the Baron, I am OK either way, but it looks like we are tending towards a preference of Faerin stepping onto that role, is that correct?

Oh, and btw, I just got the results from my Board of Bar Examiners hearing, they gave me homework. I have to watch a course and write a 10 page paper about it, I'll do that this weekend. That means I'll be a lawyer by the end of November, finally.

Faerin stepping is fine with me and Ekundayo.

Cue Lawyer Jokes!

-- david aka Ekundayo

I'm definitely okay with taking on the role. I have ideas!

Sorry for the delay. I am trying to figure out how we can go about the change. I was trying to leave open the return of Pyros, just in case, but I don't think that will work. Instead, I was thinking of an unfortunate accident so that Faerin can step in. Let me know what you think.

If we go with the "accident," I have ways for it to tie in with the greater story much later.

Do what works for you, but I think that either an accident or perhaps being called home would work.

Agreed. I've seen one Kingmaker game where the person playing the ruler left, and the GM made their murder part of the plot. An accident that is revealed to be something else later on would work story wise, but open ended could work too.

Whatever you think best.

With love though, could this possibly be something positive? Could we possibly convince our new barrister to come up with something a little more creative, perhaps with ancient overtones of law embedded?

Something like:

Telandia Edasseril appears in the throne room, everyone instantly aware they are in the presence of the most powerful elf known to Golarion. She smiles with the barest touch of pity, saying "Prince Pyros, you are called home. The ancient progenitor laws of our people are not to be ignored, and while I deeply regret that both you and I were not previously aware, as the heir to Kyonin, you have duties. Your title passes through the land itself to Faerin Cordova. While she may choose to make this Barony a vassal to Iadara, you may not choose to forsake your heritage. So it is written; take my hand, the parliament awaits you.

Just a thought ...

You know, Reg's idea is actually pretty great, Let's go with his version. It makes a plausable way to elevate Faerin while keeping a slight chance of Pyros's return (but not as Baron).

Sorry for the long absence. We are getting back on track. I have a Skull & Shackles game I play in and the GM for that game is interested in joining this game. As it seems we only have Reg, Ekun, Octavia, and Faerin, none of which are straight up frontliners, I thought he would be a good addition. I told him I would broach the subject with you and let him know.

Would be great I think

Good idea.....

I'm all for it!

Hi everyone, thanks for letting me join the game! I will have my guy up soon.

Here he is, Anton Dragi

Welcome aboard....

Since it's been so long and we have new party composition, I am listing all of the magic loot you have collected and not sold. Much of this has been distributed, but you all can redistribute it, giving preference to PCs.

Weapons
+1 cold iron dagger
+1 greatwsword
Lord Protector (+2 dueling sword that gives a -5 to hit against allies)
Savage Bow (+1 comp. longbow, can cast Aspect of Falcom 3/day as a swift action)
2x +1 scimitar
Trollreaper (+1 corrosive greataxe)

Armor
2x +1 hvy shield
Protector of the Unjust (+2 hvy shld w/+2 resistance bonus to saves. Both bonuses are an additional +2 vs Lawful or Good opponents. Cannot be equipped by a Lawful or Good person)
2x +1 breastplate
+2 breastplate
2x +1 chainshirt
3x +1 full plate

Magic items
7x +1 ROP
2x +2 ROP
2x CON belt +2
belt of physical perfection +2
Explorer's belt (+2 CON, +2 resistance vs disease, fatigue, exhaustion)
Boots of Elvenkind (+2 comp bonus to Acrobatics)
Trapspringer gloves (+5 comp. bonus to Disable Device)
Expert's Hat (+1 comp bonus to all skills)
Headband CHA +2
Headband WIS +2
Headband INT +2
Stag Helm (+1 insight to hit vs FF and flanked opponents)
2x amulet mighty fists +1
3x amulet NA +1
Nymph's Gift (+2 dodge AC vs Ranged)
6x +1 cloaks of resistance
1 x +2 cloak of resistance
Wyvern Skin Cloak (+2 NA, +4 resistance vs poison, sleep, paralysis)
Bracers of Archery, greater
Bracers of Archery, lesser
2x bracers of armor +1
Ember (pet that gives a +1 morale bonus to saves)
Headchomper ( pet that gives +2 morale bonus to Perception, Know(Nature, and Survivak)
Tiger (pet, same as Headchomper)

Wands and Scrolls
Wand CMW (12)
2 x Raise Dead
1 x FOM
6 x Remove Blindness
1 x Lesser restoration

Potions
37 x CLW
15 x CMW
11 x CSW
6x Lesser Restoration

Also, the total gold you have collected so far is 58,573. I know you did a split before, so subtract that from this total. The above list of items does not include anything you bought with your split. And the gold total above has already got the amount you spent to buy build points subtracted from it.

amulet of natural armor +1, ring of protection +1, greater bracers of archery, +1 longsword, cloak of resistance +1, +1 breastplate, pouch, belt, arrows (20) (5), headchomper, backpack, common, waterskin, filled, dagger, savage bow, 100.0 gp

So you can cross off that stuff the list.

He would be interested in Trollreaper if no one else wants it (he hates trolls!), +2 breastplate (add +1 breastplate to pot), ring of protection +2 (add his ROP+1 to the pot), and the Wyvern skin cloak (add his cloak +1 to the pot).

Also, give most of the potions to the baroness, but a couple of the cure potions to him and the new guy. Also split the scrolls between baroness and Octavia as appropriate.

Sell whatever is not claimed by anyone and split the money.

In the CRPG, he is pretty much only ranged, I've built him so he can be a secondary front line with the longsword, but he could easily use the greataxe also.

Reg was actually going to speak to the Baron about commissioning new armor now that he's a shifter, but he needs a loan for that.

So I currently have +1 Cold Iron Dagger, Headband WIS +2, Amulet of Mighty fists +1, Blessed Signet, Ring of Protection +1, Cloak of Resistance +1, Wand of CMW, as well as a wand of CLW I purchased.

To that I’d like to add the Belt of Physical perfection and the wand of Lesser Restoration if nobody has any objections.

I'm down with Ekun having Trollreaper (he deserves to have it).

@ Reg Given the fact that we have multiple +1 Fullplate we'll definitely be able to afford having your new armor made.

I’ve got headband of vast intelligence +2, The Nymph's Gift, cloak of resistance +1 and bracers of armor +1.

I’d add a Ring of Protection +1, Trapspringer gloves

Also if possible I'd like to retool a bit (skills/ possibly a feat or two)

So with everything claimed so far there's still the following up for grabs:

Weapons
+1 greatsword
Lord Protector (+2 dueling sword that gives a -5 to hit against allies)
2x +1 scimitar

Armor
2x +1 hvy shield
Protector of the Unjust (+2 hvy shld w/+2 resistance bonus to saves. Both bonuses are an additional +2 vs Lawful or Good opponents. Cannot be equipped by a Lawful or Good person)
2 +1 breastplate
2x +1 chainshirt
3x +1 full plate

Magic items
6x +1 ROP
1x +2 ROP
Explorer's belt (+2 CON, +2 resistance vs disease, fatigue, exhaustion)
Boots of Elvenkind (+2 comp bonus to Acrobatics)
Expert's Hat (+1 comp bonus to all skills)
Headband CHA +2
Stag Helm (+1 insight to hit vs FF and flanked opponents)
1x amulet mighty fists +1
3x amulet NA +1

6x +1 cloaks of resistance
1 x +2 cloak of resistance
2x bracers of armor +1
Ember (pet that gives a +1 morale bonus to saves)
Headchomper ( pet that gives +2 morale bonus to Perception, Know(Nature, and Survival)
Tiger (pet, same as Headchomper)

Wands and Scrolls
2 x Raise Dead
1 x FOM
6 x Remove Blindness
1 x Lesser restoration

Potions
37 x CLW
15 x CMW
11 x CSW
6x Lesser Restoration

Are Tiger and Headchomper actual animal companions or wondrous figurines?

We'd previously split 20k so that leaves 38,573 gold aside from whatever we don't distribute, getting sold.

There is no wand of lesser restoration. I also suggest that the scrolls and potions just be grouped together and used by whoever as needed.

Ekun. Your starting items are in that list. Also, if you take the Wyvern cloak, your amulet of NA +1 could be thrown back in the pot.

I also missed the belt of DEX +2, add that to the pot.

Octavia should get the Belt Dex +2 to help Rogue skills.

Taken! Good catch!

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! Do you all want to RP the ceremony, or just have me do a quick synopsis and move on?

Great Thanksgiving. Over a friends house (8 guests total), and today going over daughter & son-in-law (he worked yesterday) for a second round!

I am ever so slightly in favor of a quick synopsis and move on, but would be ok for RP'ing the ceremony.

and I am ever so slightly in favor of Ekun's vote to move on quick, but okay also to defer for some RP.

Would also like to see how close 7th level is?

Ok, before we proceed, every can level up to 7.

hp d10+2: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Ekundayo updated.

Lol, you should have just told me to make Anton lvl 7 to begin with.

1d10 ⇒ 6

Arcane Trickster 3
HP: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Ref +1
Will +1
Impromptu sneak attack 1/day
+1 2nd level spell
+1 3rd level spell
9 skills (Disable device, Escape Artist, Knowledge Arcana, Knowledge Dungeoneering, Knowledge Local, Knowledge Planes, Stealth, Spellcraft, Perception)
2 Background skills (Knowledge Engineering, Sleight of hand)
Feat: Iron Will

"So Reg, going to get that armor you've been drooling over?" Octavia asks with a smirk.

and yes, Reg is SOOOOOOO ready!!!

But I'm sitting here with serious difficulty figuring out how much coin he has. The armor as I want to buy is like 9200, which depending on when we did the distro previously and what we get after selling stuff, he might be able to do. or ... he may need to speak to the Baroness.

On another note, I forget sometimes that this is one of my favorite characters to play of absolutely all time. Thank you, all of you.

@ Reg.

So earlier when we split 20K each person got 4193.80. Add to that the current haul of 38,573 split among the existing party before Anton Joins (he gest to update char creation to level 7), gives a split of 9,643.25 each. You're good to go with the armor.

Druid 7
HP: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
+1 BAB
4th level spells (1+1 bonus)
+5 Skills {Class bonus} (Diplomacy, Knowledge (Nature), Perception, Spellcraft, Knowledge Planes )
+2 Background skills (Knowledge Geography, Lore {Stolen Lands})
Feat:Augment Summoning

OMG thank you!

Sorry, wife's been really sick since yesterday. Been taking care of her. Will post soon

no problem, family first, was just wondering where everyone went :)

One thing I wanted to do was gift Valerie and Kesten
two of the +1 full plate armors as a badge of office, having them retooled to represent the Barony.

DM. When fighting Trolls, Ekundayo has the Corrosive Great Axe and he has +4 (favored enemy) against Humanoid(Giant), so he is a killing machine when it comes to them, so Octavia can save spells that deal acid damage to stop their regeneration.

But I agree with skipping over this on PbP. In the CRPG, there were a bloody lot of Trolls.....

I'm just about there in my current playthrough and you REALLY have to enjoy bussing up for those combats 'cause it's a LOT

Hi DM, need a ruling.

My personal alignment (NG) is conflicting with my DM alignment (LN). Faerin cast Acid Maw on Dog but the spell says "your animal companion".

Personal says it is ok, greater good. DM says it is not. Is this valid?

-- david aka Ekundayo

Correct, Acid Maw is like a personal spell, but for your animal companion instead.

With the caveat that I did not go to law school (like some), I believe the actual question is whether Acid Maw can be cast on someone else's familiar ...

Never mind. While I might not have realized that Faerin would, and wouldn't even have prepared the spell.

Faerin Cordova wrote:

Hmm...in that case I wouldn't even have prepared it. I'll cast Shillelagh.

okay, I will ask: who has been Best in Show?

Bratwust and shillelaghs
