I am still finishing Fantomas, but I am ready to go.
Fantomas can use wands (+17 UMD) and has a Lesser Restoration one.
Bjorn looks quite solid to me. I also have UMD (+18). I also have about 1500 left for contribution to buying wand/scrolls for fill in duty...
Yes, I've got some money left as well if we want to purchase something.
Now, if I could only get a proper face...
GM Mathpro, could you give us a simple dot-in gamethread so we can actually have the aliases linked to the campaign?
Excellent!
Fantomas needs to know:
- If the headmaster's office is empty.
- If he is able to teleport in, and what does he sees there.
In Roll20 (or Google Draw) you can have more "specific" combat placement and position oriented combat.
If we only do "theater of the mind" it is looser and fast, and it is easier to get confused.
It is DM choice, specially when you are pressed for time. To do and update the combat maps can take quite some time.
I don't mind either.
Fantomas has pretty much summed up the tradeoffs... But to put in in perspective, I'm pretty sure that actions in the game thread have already drawn AoO's for Bjorn and Adonis (" moves between the unconscious girl and the creature" and " jumps to the unconscious woman. He feels her pulse", when it is "standing over the girl" ) , that I'm not sure they would have taken with a map...
Honestly, the link doesn't work for me, so I had no idea what was there. Knowing it looks like having reach, yeah, maybe I would have taken a different choice, but anyway. I guess there's no problem in using theatre of the mind as long as descriptions offer enough details to know what you're doing. From my experience, maps function better when players are high level and have many special things to do, but I would adapt to anything.
I like Google Slides most, but have used anything before. I am against Roll20 as that does not work from phone.
Wanting to give you a heads up that I'll probably going to have to start the google slides doc at home which means it probably won't be up until Monday.
Do the init - you might not have to if the retriever's less than a 24... It's already eaten 88 dmg, and Eldorazo can potentially drop 3 more sneak attacks on it...
PS. Can Eldorazo see what the thing's reach is?
Anyone know if the advanced template changes your touch ac? It says +4 to ac but...
Give it to it... You realize that it's short it's dex (unless it has uncanny dodge) because we haven't done init yet.
The template does make it pretty much impossible for me to put the thing down before it gets to go...
Edit: If you are using the rebuild rules for the Advanced template, +2 AC from natural armor (wouldn't affect touch) and +2 to AC from increasing dex by +4 (which would affect NA, except that it's flat footed as this is before init...)
Anyone know if the advanced template changes your touch ac? It says +4 to ac but...
I think is +2 to touch only, with the DEX increase.
Hey guys just wanted to pop by with a bit of an update. I ended up being gifted a day off today so I won't be able to advance the story til tomorrow afternoon. Thank you for your patience.
Have fun with your day off.
No problem
avatars are back!
They are!
Fantomas is in the house!
Made an alias for Byron too. I think it will help to distinguish between their actions.
Björn's familiar Will mostly stay with him and just Scott every now and then, so I'll just play it without an alias if that's ok.
Let's go. I know, GM was busy with selections for two more tables, but now we need to roll
Good luck! Hope we resume the game soon.
No problem. I am glad we are back.
Ok, we haven't seen Mathpro since Tuesday. Do we have a serious problem here, and if so, what do we do?
I think we have a "easy-going" game here. no hurries, no time limits. I guess he will post in his own time.
Now I am getting worried. Lots of work anyway...
Getting on to 2 weeks (it'll be 2 weeks exactly on the 31st). Not good.
The worst part is that I liked this character a lot...
I hope we resume in the future.

Options,
1) We can suspend, although IMO this is another way of saying dead; even if Mathpro comes back in another couple of weeks, I suspect the players will have moved on. Heck, we will see how many responses we get to this post.2) We can either go looking for another GM on the boards...
3) Could one of us step up? It's easy enough to find a copy of the module online...
Yeah, that was the first time I tried a Bloodrager and I liked it a lot, specially since the character's background reminded me of an acquaintance...
I totally suck at GMing, though, so in my case that is not an option. But I'm locked at home, so I don't mind waiting.
I do love this one, too. I'll stick around
Ok, so that's all the players like the game so far... Well, that's good.
Nobodies desperate enough to volunteer for 3 just yet.
I hear no votes for 2 just yet. Revisit the issue in a week or so assuming we haven't heard from MathPro?
2 is changing GM, right?
I'm okay with that too, even though my experience here with changing GM is not the best. Also, I don't know a lot of people here, so I'm not the most fitting to search for a replacement.
