Oh, Yep, thank you. Misread the "gains another extra ability at 6th, 12th, and 18th levels." as just gains an extra ability, Should be a quick fix! Added Speech.
No worries!
Pretty much just waiting for Villar to respond, and I'll start moving things along (unless there was anything else that people wanted to do).
A thought that recently occurred to me; what are people's thoughts on how to run initiative in combat? I see a number of people who run the actions on a kind of 'first come, first served' system, split between groupings. For the most part, I don't have an issue with this, but I'm a bit of a traditionalist in that I feel resolution should still be done in initiative order. Any opinions for or against?
Be getting something up in around an hour or so.
I'm fine with the resolution happening in order or not. I always justified it as just an agreement of "We will have each character delay until the player is present so long as no hostile actions occur." but either way so long as actions can be declared in groupings to keep things moving (Though that doesn't seem like much of an issue with this group so far!)
Either way is fine with me.
Either is fine with me as well!
Super! Just working on my post now. Lost power, so I have to start over .:(
Would Futin and Talina know each other? I can see that they may have run into each other once or twice while she's been looking for Bastion. Futin being Futin, that would make them instant friends. :p
I'll leave the details between you two.
I see it as Futin waving excitedly at Talina, and thinking he knows her just because he heard her name once. I'm not sure if Talina would indulge him in his meanderings about dragons and mysteries, though.
That is a good question.
I suppose we would have at least run into each other. But how much pestering would have happened from your end? As in would there have been a casual conversation first that then derailed into your musings, or just straight into them?
**EDIT** I'll wait until we get this hashed out before responding in Gameplay.
I took a bit of creative license, but if you guys decide something different, that's perfectly cool. :)
Another thought:
I would normally do spoilers for each character when your actions are separate (ie. secret from the others), how do you like the format so far? Would it be better with spoilers up until you are officially a team?
I'm getting the Roll20 maps setup. When you have the chance, hop on board so I can set up your icons.
Able to move my token.
Awesome. :)
Probably a good time to bring up that, if there is anything you guys want to find out, or what not, you certainly can. If you're not sure how to go about it, feel free to ask.
If you have the Core Rulebook, or are using Archives of Nethys, you'll notice that many skills/abilities have the 'Secret' trait on them; ie. Recall Knowledge.
If you want to use one of these, just add an OCC to your post to let me know, and I'll make the roll to see the outcome.
If you're already familiar with these rules, forgive me for rehashing. I figure that I'll probably be going through the basics somewhat to make sure that everyone is one the same page, as well as just refreshing the memory of those that have been playing for a while (including myself).
No worries, it's an easy thing to forget.
Just waiting on Villar to take his actions.
Just making sure...there aren't any conveniently placed buckets of water anywhere, right? I see it in the options to fight the fire, but doubt they'd have anything handy...unless the janitor had just happened to be mopping;)
There are not any immediately available. But it is still an option, should you figure out a way to get your hands on some.
Darn lazy janitor
Darn lazy janitor
Technically, doesn't that mean that the Janitor was doing their job?
Logic, how dare you...
How does one make the little symbols for one's action types?
Copy/Paste from the top of the page. I gave the GM the copy that I use.
Thanks:)
My understanding is that it falls under the Interact Action. Thank gods I watched Oblivion Oath and Knights of Everflame, those helped me understand mechanics a lot.
This is correct. If you have a Core Rulebook, there is a chart on pg. 273 that talks about handling/changing equipment.
Draw, stow, or pick up an item: Requires 1 or 2 hands (based on the item in question); Interact Action.
Also, all common Basic and Specialized actions can be found here: Actions
Yeah, that's what I did a search through earlier but I couldn't take the time to really look through it.
Might be worth linking that at the top for quick reference.
I can certainly do that for ya. :)
GM, I just realized something. That third attack from the little beastie was actually a critical hit. My shield was not raised at the time and it hit my AC of 19 with a Nat 20, it should have done critical damage.
Retcon or no at this point?
I had noticed that myself just as I was posting. I was going to leave it and chalk it up to me not paying attention. Technically, that would have dropped you (3 extra points of damage), and then Futin would have brought you back up to 9 hp and Wounded 2 (Dying 2 after a crit).
I won't lie. This can be a tough first encounter if the dice don't go your way, so a flub or two is not out of the question.
This is also where I realized that I need to make a small adjustment to my GM posts. Those rolls probably should have been hidden. ;)
... In a nutshell, let's just go with what we currently have, with the knowledge that it could fairly easily happen again. :)
Well, I may have turned it around. That might be a crit with my startegic strike. Too bad my second strike has a nat 1.
So this whole 3-Actions to get Civilians out, am I allowed to move as part of it? The directions are a little unclear to me.
You have to be in one of the two sections, then use your 3 actions in a single round. The 3 actions that you use effectively represent the time you spend to get people up and out.
Yeah.. it's a weird system. This is the third time that I've run it, with slight differences each time, and it's still a bit awkward.
Yeah, you'd think it would be an action per person.
In a way, the way they are doing it here is a bit more efficient, as far as action economy. It just doesn't translate the greatest.
Just waiting on Villar to post before I get mine in.
So all of the civilians and Councilors are out?
They are! :)
Who here is familiar with Combat Gods?
Wasn't familiar with that one, but I've seen a lot like it. Nicely done. :)
So where are we on getting everyone out of the building? At work again so I can't check the map.
Everyone's out, I think
Everyone but us are already out.
Yes. All civilians are now out. The fire is spreading quickly, and the smoke is still an issue. Futin seems to have come up with at least a way to reduce the damage caused by the smoke.
Just waiting on you, Villar. :)
We started with a hero point as well, right?
That is correct.
Now that you guys have been given your first bit of loot, it would probably be a good time to discuss how you're going to keep track of such things.
Do you guys like to keep a loot sheet? Do you like to have someone delegated as party treasurer?
Let me know what you want to do, and I'll help to make it happen.
I've got a money in money out section on my sheet if you'd like I can add a party loot section as well and function as treasurer elsewise a loot sheet sounds fine.
I vote for Cicero as Treasurer
Seconded!
