#4–12: The Refuge of Time - Standard (Inactive)

Game Master noral

Hello everyone, Welcome! You can already introduce your character in the gameplay section.

Can you please include your character details in the slides in table.

Please also provide details about your character's classes and special abilities.

I will finalize copying from paper to online tonight; all I have left is a bit of gear and my boons/adventure titles.

Edit: I'm a melee dex sword/board Slayer with a ton of languages known

I have some updating to do... but I'll have everything squared away in the next couple of days.

Ranged Inquisitor with Kissan his Animal Companion

*Rawr*

I can bring a wizard (conjuror) or swashbardler, depending on what else we have.

My only character in tier just got locked into another game so I'll we working up a pre-gen.

I'll be playing a pregen as well. I was going to play Shardra or Crowe because I'm playing in another game with a Shardra and a Crowe and they seem fun, but I just realized there's a bunch of overlap in this game!

Noral also suggested the arcanist, which I've never played. Any other suggestions?

Hi, I would suggest the the Wizard 8 as the summoning will support you well.

Use the pregens you like but beware that the CRB iconics are not very optimized.

I’ve seen the iconic slayer go well at level 4.

And the investigator has a lot of fun tricks at level 4.

Did they ever stat-up the iconic shifter?

I have never seen a shifter in play.

Looks like we have one ranged and one melee before adding pretend, plus conjurer-- so we could use a pregen that can heal and maybe another melee damage dealer.

I don't do a ton of melee damage as a finicky build- but I have Trapfinding and decent rogue skillset so I can fill that role.

I can play Kyra or whatever the Samurai's name is.

I know Kyra's not necessarily optimized but she can heal and buff and lay out some damage.

And I know the Samurai is tough so he can be a good meat shield.

Kissan is a pretty straight forward striker- lots of damage to one target, very quickly (if she can charge). AC is pretty good, but relatively low HP.

Hey guys, it's my daughter's birthday, today and I'm getting my breaker box replaced tomorrow so it will probably be Thursday before I can get a Pregen alias up and start posting.

Happy birthday! Don’t worry. This is a game. No stress.

Before we fully jump in, I need to update my sheet.

I also wanted to retrain a feat (I've had it for a while and never used it). I am going to pick up scholar instead and then go Magaambyan Arcanist at level 9.

I also want to learn some spells.

And I need to level-up to 8.

Also, can someone more familiar with the rules help me answer this question:

Are pregens allowed to trade spells with other characters?

Also, can someone more familiar with the rules help me answer this question:

Are pregens allowed to trade spells with other characters?

I believe so, since you can use all the consumables on them without penalty. I can't find a solid answer but as a GM I would allow it.

So, retraining a feat at level 7, would cost me 10x7x5=350gp
and for 5 days that is 5pp, right?

Adding spells from Enora's spellbook
daylight (90),
alter self, bear's endurance, pyrotechnics 40 each = 120
liberating command, vanish, disguise self, expeditiouts retreat, reduce person 10 each = 50

=260gp

I'll leave it at that (and am happy if you say it can't be done until after the scenario). After this scenario, I'm buying a Blessed Book and saving on scribing.

No of course you can do that. Just assume you retrained before the mission.

Can I carry anyone with me using dimensional slide?

No, dimensional slide is only for the Arcanist. But it is a very powerful tool.

I have played Enora as a pregen at least 20 times and it saved her a couple of times!

This is my first time playing her, so this will be a learning experience for me.

Are Electric Slide jokes considered bad form, or obligatory?

Like bird jokes for Tengu, obligatory I believe.

day job, prof (scribe): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

Slide is updated with Kissan and Edmund

Please all place yourself. Thanks

I just realized we only have 5 players. I am missing someone.

The last player will join in the next days.

Hey all. I brought a front liner alchemist I hope that works for everyone.

Sounds good.

Where to next?

Just glad Slipp did not die. This shadow kills the being it attacks when it reaches 0 strength. :-(

Hah, Slipp and undead do not mix- he got torn up by mummies once as well! I'm sitting on the Prestige for my Scarab Sages Risen Guard res, but I'm glad not to have to use it!

Edmund has a few castings of lesser restoration available, but if any of the pregens have a potion, thats probably the better option?

Enora does not have lesser restoration, sorry.

Hey all. I'm in the mountains all weekend I will try to keep up.

Also great job in that fight.

Kyra also has a scroll of lesser restoration and as a pregen she can freely use consumables. She also has a 50 charges wand of clw.

Based on the rolls it took 4 to get me back to my full 10, so if we use the scroll from Kyra it would be 3 charges from the wand.

Good stuff.

Enora can switch out spells with a full-round action. Since we had several rounds of healing, she's going to switch out some spells - fireball instead of fly, create pit instead of invisibility, and protection from evil instead of obscuring mist.

Each of these actions costs you an arcane reservoir point but I assume you knew that, correct Enora?

ION STONES

I want to clarify something about the ion stones. This is a FREE item that your characters could receive in this scenario.

If you take the ion stone it automatically activates.

The stone gives you a free feat that you qualify for.

It is an evil act and the ion stone is cursed so you cannot remove it without magic.

Your character will detect as evil so long as you have the stone on you, however, your actual alignment only shifts 1 alignment toward evil, so if you are good, you're neutral, if you are neutral you are evil and will need to spend the prestige for an atonement.

So, we can spend two prestige to get a free feat?

That's pretty cool.

And, as Mylvwara totally bossed the skill checks, our characters will be able to act with full knowledge of the costs and benefits.

Mylvwara is a rational, cool-headed pragmatist who loves strange magic. She might well take it... hmm... how much impact will it have if she detects as evil?

Do we keep the feat if we get rid of the cursed item?

I don't know how often it comes up, but I imagine that detecting as evil at the beginning of this adventure (with the angel or whatever) would have steered the conversation very differently.

The feat is linked to the ion stone.

It's doubly interesting as Mylvwara is going to have an aura of good soon (Magambyaan Arcanist prestige class). She would have an aura of good but an item on her person would have an aura of evil.

Hummm.... Tempted.....

Hummm.... Tempted.....

Yassss ... feel the power ...
