It was not a TPK, but it was close. The barbarian did fall unconscious but managed to stabilize. He woke up a day later very confused why there was a giant hole in the floor. I hit the ground very hard and pancaked. The dumbest victory.
Vos Alavane |
Mine was similar, but not quite as bad: we decided to play the waking rune on hard mode, and about half the group was completely unprepared for it. Our poor cleric got deleted, and like half the group panicked.
The Doormouse |
I love the silver tarn. A foggy town, fish people, an ancient evil under a lake. Classic adventure.
The Doormouse |
If I took a 5 foot step onto the couch and did a stealth check, could I hide from the worms?
GM_Ammordius |
You're currently invisible. You could have made a stealth check as part of your movement last turn, so you are currently stealthed. You wouldn't be able to restealth solely via a 5' step. The worms seem mostly intent on eating visible foes so far.
Also you couldn't quite 5' step onto the couch, since a couch would be 'difficult terrain' at best, unless you had some shenagains or were so large that the couch isn't much of an impediment.
The Doormouse |
Ok, ok. Here’s another dumb question: if I move onto a couch cushion, would that fool the worm’s tremorsense enough to sneak attack?
GM_Ammordius |
Your GM may or may not have remembered that the worms have tremor sense and thus could overcome invisiblity...
I'd say based on the description of tremor sense that as 'sensitve to vibrations in the ground and can automatically pinpoint the location of anything that is in contact in the ground', that most objects would simply transmit the vibrations (and thus count as ground), albeit at an increased distance.
That said, it seems like tremorsense and pinpointing you doesn't get rid of concealment part of invisibility (like blindsense), if you're using that to sneak attack, it should still work, no?
The Doormouse |
I've heard so GM so yes, others no. If I can Sneak Attack I will. If I can, I'll pop my Trickster ability.
GM_Ammordius |
You can sneak attack, I see nothing that'd prohibit it.
A creature that is taking bleed damage takes the listed amount of damage at the beginning of its turn. Bleeding can be stopped by a DC 15 Heal check or through the application of any spell that cures hit point damage (even if the bleed is ability damage). Some bleed effects cause ability damage or even ability drain. Bleed effects do not stack with each other unless they deal different kinds of damage. When two or more bleed effects deal the same kind of damage, take the worse effect. In this case, ability drain is worse than ability damage.
Apparently only spells, and not bloodline abilities (or channel energy for that matter) stop bleed damage. Has this been clarified anywhere?

So this is an FAQ from the creative Director:
James Jacobs wrote:
Anything that heals hit point damage stops bleed damage.
Not only does that match the rules as intended, it's simple to remember. And there's NO GOOD REASON why cure light wounds should be able to stop bleed damage when a potion of cure light wounds (also not a spell) won't do the same thing. Or fast healing or channel energy or anything else.
If it heals hp damage, it stops all bleed effects.
From this thread: https://paizo.com/threads/rzs2mej3?Does-RegenerateFast-Heal-stop-bleed

@Sethran JJ’s opinion isn’t a clarification for PFS, and we’re forced to follow RAW there, which is why I asked. Even RAI, that bloodline doesn’t stabilize dying PCs, so it’d be arguable.
The ability was reprinted to say any magical healing stops, so Vos is not bleeding and has 4 more hp on his turn.
@Doormouse I‘ll adjust the damage. I thought cross blooded and wild blooded sorcerer archetypes don’t stack.
If Tenzo had moved more than a 5’ step you wouldn’t have gotten a full attack. It’s straightforward enough to direct the damage to the adjacent worm instead, so let me know your preference.
Zuckerman's Famous |
Doormouse I‘ll adjust the damage. I thought cross blooded and wild blooded sorcerer archetypes don’t stack.
At first I wasn't sure what you meant since I did not think that wild blooded was listed as an archetype. It was my understanding that it was just a different part of particular bloodline similar to a subdomain, however when you brought this up I looked through a few FAQs, my favorite was to learn about a game, and it seems as though it IS an archetype and as such it does not stack because it alters the same class features. I am honestly stunned that this is the way it was made, but I am in the wrong.
Thankfully, this aspect of my build is unimportant. I still will drink people, just now I will have to do it...for flavor.
What happens now is up to you. I can swap to the Undead bloodline without a problem.
Vos Alavane |
Ya, what I don't like about wilkdblooded is that it's not listed as an archetype on Archives of Nethys, and it really should be.
GM_Ammordius |
@Doormouse
Unfortunately I don't think the scroll (assuming you're using it normally as a scroll) would activate your bloodline ability per this faq.
Please feel free to take an alternate turn if you'd like.
GM_Ammordius |
@All please generally ask ooc/rules questions in discussion.
@Doormouse, you could still do a swift action spell if you so desired. At least the scroll isn't going to suffer a mishap or be expended. It'd stop the bleeding on Kai (which is doing 4 damage a round, and would occur before this rounds damage).
@Felver, An bestiary axebeak has a 10' reach, so I see no reason why Tenzo, an animal companion who grew large, wouldn't threaten. You are adjacent to both him and the worm grappling you (since you were pulled to the nearest square when grabbed), so you would flank it currently. That said, you can't use a two handed weapon while grabbed, so you need to pull and use an alternate weapon. It has been hit exactly once by Doormouse's empowered force punch and the damage is noted in the status bar. Also I wanted to ask how does your character gain exotic weapon proficency spiked chain?
Vos Alavane |
okay, so just to check, I didn't get healed at all? I wasn't actually dead (death for me is 110 total damage) so I don't actually need breath of life. just a normal healing spell would work.
The Doormouse |
Ok, I'll drop a Darting duplicate so Kai can heal 2, which will stop the bleed.
Vos Alavane |
I'm at 109 currently, and I'll probably bleed out if not at least stabilized.
GM_Ammordius |
Ninja get spiked chain as a weapon pro
They do?
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Ninja are proficient with all simple weapons, plus the kama, katana, kusarigama, nunchaku, sai, shortbow, short sword, shuriken, siangham, and wakizashi. They are proficient with light armor but not with shields
You have martial proficiency from Paladin, so 1500gp solves the problem
GM_Ammordius |
Perhaps I'm confused. You were wielding a spike chain in two hands. You started holding it one hand only free, and grabbed the knifemove, unless there is a special thing making this faster ?
Implict in my understanding of the above is that A spiked chain is a two handed weapon, which can not be wielded in one hand afaik. While swallowed, you are still grappled, so you could still not use a two handed weapon.
Were you making unarmed strikes instead? Do you have improved unarmed strike?
RAW, invisibility does give you sneak attack, even inside its gullet, and if you deal 1/10th of its HP with a light slashing or piercing weapon, you cut your way out.
Kai Kithaniel |
With Doormouse's Heal I was on 14 hp and then took 12 damage from the golem post DR so Kai isn't prone to my knowledge.
Felver |
I think swallowed whole and grappled are two separate conditions and once it swallows me it can grapple someone else and continue swallowing.
I think that I am the most not visible to this creature then anyone magically or otherwise has ever been since I don't think it has any way to detect me inside it.
I am not sure on either.
GM_Ammordius |
@Felver, you're not visible on the map currently, I just put you in the creatures square.
They are two seperate conditions and I linked swallow whole above. It explicitly says the person swallowed is still grappled, but with your vanishing trick and a dagger, I am hopeful you'll be able to sneak attack your way out.
@Kai, I think you were actually at 12 hp, but thats just enough that you're correct that you're not prone (or disarmed)!
