MISFORTUNE revelation - REROLLING ANY d20 ROLL BEFORE KNOWING THE RESULT
Misfortune (Ex): At 1st level, as an immediate action, you can force a creature within 30 feet to reroll any one d20 roll that it has just made before the results of the roll are revealed. The creature must take the result of the reroll, even if it’s worse than the original roll. Once a creature has suffered from your misfortune, it cannot be the target of this revelation again for 1 day.
The trickiest thing for everyone to keep track of in a PbP format is his Misfortune revelation. Basically, he can require anyone (including allies) to reroll a d20 once/day.
Caveats: it uses his immediate action (so it's not available when he's still flatfooted) and it has a 30' range limitation.
This means that
a) I can use it on you once/day per person;
b) but I can only use it once/round (since it uses my immediate);
c) so as an ally try to stay within 30' of Xiao if possible.
To my fellow players: In a PbP format, I think the best way to handle this is for you each to decide for yourselves if you want to use the ability and just be sure that someone else hasn't already used my immediate previously that round.
To the GM: With regard to foes, I'm fine with the GM reflecting the misfortune hex against a foe, using the following priorities:
- Enemy attack rolls: If a foe threatens a crit against a player that has only 20 hp left then Xiao will immediate action misfortune the initial attack roll.
- Enemy saving throws: When they have to make a save and have rolled 13 or better on the d20 roll then Xiao will immediate action misfortune so they reroll the save.

SAVING FINALE - REROLLING A FAILED SAVING THROWS
To fellow players: Saving Finale is a spell I can only use when I have a performance active but if you have already used Misfortune on yourself and fail a saving throw then this could help.
Caveats:
a) you must be within 30';
b) this also uses my immediate action, so it might not be available if I've already used it for Misfortune;
c) this depends on me having Bardic Performance up, which I will normally do.
d) In the case of Saving Finale, you can actually wait to see whether or not you failed (as opposed to Misfortune, where you only see the die roll, not the result), so this is a very handy bailout.

I hope this was understandable! :-)
Thanks to GM Abraham from whom I copied major portions of the text above as he is also using Misfortune with one of his characters.
The Ghost Writer |
Wow, I didn't realize how badly worded the Misfortune mystery is written. I'm sure it wasn't how the writer intended it to work, but it definitely works as both a buff and a debuff. Crazy.
Saving Finale saves lives. I love that spell.
For purchases, the Ghostwriter is going to upgrade the lens in his mask to eyes of the eagle.
GM Watery Soup |
I'm sorry, but I forgot to increment all the DCs from the book-finding encounter to high tier, that's why it was so easy. I'm not going to retcon, but just wanted to apologize in case it wasn't fun for it to be so easy.
Orin Tarfoot Tallfeather |
Sorry, the transition from the last day of drill to my first day back to work subsumed me the past 40ish hours, I will catch up and post today.
Orin Tarfoot Tallfeather |
National guard, yeah. And Sundays to Monday is rough because after a full day of drill I have to retrieve the wife and kids from her mom's then drive all the way home and rush back into work the next day and by the time I'm home I'm just shot.
Throw in the baby's first shots yesterday and I just fell asleep before getting to any of my games.
Xiao Katsu |
Wow. We really messed up, right?
GM Watery Soup |
You actually didn't. You didn't get the Favor Point, but the ritual was going to go awry anyway.
Orin Tarfoot Tallfeather |
Yeah, I kind of thought it was the plot. . . why would we not have demons to fight in heaven?
GM Watery Soup |
I've always gotten the feeling that the Outer Planes are way more Wild Wild West than their nominal descriptions, with gods and their followers raiding other planes and pulling petty pranks on their friends. The fact that Heaven apparently has armed guards running around reinforces that feeling. Also, all the guards are like of like Obelix (from Astrix and Obelix), they're super strong but never want to fight, and I can imagine them tapping their heads and yelling, "Ils sont fous, ces mortels!"
Orin Tarfoot Tallfeather |
So- Adamantine is listed as "Hardness 20"- and they get +1 hardness per +1 enhancement, so I believe my wakisashi has Hardness 21, right?
GM Watery Soup |
If it's more than 8, it doesn't matter what it is exactly. ;)
GM Watery Soup |
We are nearing the end of the scenario, and I'm prepping Chronicles. I need Day Job rolls from Xiao, Orin, and Ghostwriter. I think I have everything else from past Chronicles.
Xiao Katsu |
perform Oratory : 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25
Thanks for everything!!
GM Watery Soup |
I'm still waiting for a dayjob from Orin, but the Chronicle folder is here.
Orin Tarfoot Tallfeather |
Orin foregoes his day job to use his Borderland Keep boon from the Fangwood Keep sheet to regain 1 expended Prestige Point.
Xiao Katsu |
Thanks for everything GM!!
GM Watery Soup |
