The Righteous and the Wrathful! (Inactive)

Game Master Tara Ravenheart

Has anyone been having any issues with their avatar pictures lately (changing to random images or not loading)?

I haven't

Me neither. Very odd.

None.

Only had weird issues with time stamps of my own posts, recently.

I had some avatar image issues a few months ago, but nothing recently. I have noticed the time stamp thing, Meraati. I think once it's been posted for more than a couple hours, its been listing the timestamp that aligns with Paizo's native time zone on the west coast (of the United States).

I've noticed that messages sent right away usually show up in inboxes about 3hrs later, but other than that, nothing.

Oblivion,

Perhaps, but more likely slightly different.
Oddly, i could post say, 10:30 in the morning, and when i check in early evening, it would display as 'Yesterday'.

Hmm, I am intrigued now. I just posted, and included a manual time stamp to see what it corresponds to later on.

Meraati, I have seen something similar when I post in the 'wee hours' of the night, say between midnight and 2 or 3:00am, then I wake up only a few hours later and it says "yesterday".

That is not Cupid's Arrow you are shooting Callen! :p

Watch out, incoming!!!!!!

For those in the United States, Happy Thanksgiving! Yes, I am a day late, some of us were working yesterday...

I am thankful for a great group of players who are invested in a shared storytelling experience. It's been a blast so far on this great adventure with you all!

In other news, we also owe thanks to Smooshie/Nicolette, who started a group inventory file, which is now linked up top by the Battle Map.

It's not public in setting though.
Calls for a login to view.

If you don't feel like making an account, that's fine. It's mostly for my record-keeping, but if you want to, you can use/view it. It is now public.

Apologies for the gap in posting. Aside from the holiday my car was totaled over the weekend. No injuries, but I'm in the middle of dealing with all the stuff involved, including finding a new vehicle right quick. It may be a few days yet before things are back to normal. If you need to please bot me.

Yikes. Good to ear you're unharmed.

Glad to hear your okay, sounds like a mess.

Hopefully, your new one is a winner! Glad you're alright

Joska, glad to hear you are safe! I totaled a car a couple years ago, it definitely shakes you up, nevermind everything you have to deal with after.

Hope December starts off better for you!

That sucks Joska. I am glad to hear you are all right. Hopefully things will get back to whatever is normal for you quickly.

Hey, sorry for the delay. I've had a rough few days at work coupled with being on full aunt duty with my sister sick (not covid, thankfully). I am going to grab a few hours of sleep then get a post up in the morning. Thank you all.

Joska, sounds like you are having a rough week as well. Much love and support for you!

Hope your sister gets feeling better soon! Get some good rest.

I just had a point of issue GM. This lady didn't "withdraw". She utilized her Attack of Opportunity. Took her turn, attacked, and then moved. That means she provokes an attack of opportunity from Kevin and me unless something is unknown here? Power attack and judgement are also used on her turn, where as an attack of opportunity technically our turn. She could have used these on Amelia, but not for the Attack of opportunity (as far as I know). Love to hear your input.

Yes, Hosilla's movement was a normal move action, not a full action withdraw, so Kevin gets an Attack of Opportunity! Unfortunately, from her starting square she had cover from Nicolette, which means Nicolette does not get an attack of opportunity. Cover

Hosilla used Power Attack in her Surprise Round attack on Amelia, causing it to apply to all her attacks until her next turn. That would include the Attack of Opportunity. Power Attack And though never added to a FAQ, back in the earlier days of Pathfinder, Sean K Reynolds weighed in on the use of Power Attack at varied times in the round, which, given his role at the time as a lead developer, has been generally accepted as canon since then. (Of course, the ambiguous language of "an attack" as opposed to "any attack" continues to be debated to this day)

Wow, I made a mess of that last post!!! Where to begin! I had typed it out in the following order:
1 - Joska's Botted Action
2 - Warrior's save against Meraati's spell (Fail, getting a d20 roll of 10+5 = 15)
3 - Hosilla's Attack of Opportunity (Hit, getting a d20 roll of 16+6-1+3 = 24)
4 - Hosilla's Action (Hit, as listed)

In previewing the action, I completed the description of each action. Then I thought, "Oh, I should list the Attack of Opportunity first, as that would've happened prior to the NPCs other actions." Which, is correct. So I copy and pasted the action from 'position 3' to 'position 2'. But the forum doesn't assign a die roll to a specific line of text, it is merely in the order of rolls within the post. As such, this flipped the d20 rolls, causing the Attack of Opportunity to now be a miss (it now got the '10' roll, totalling 18), and the saving throw to be a hit (it now got the '16' roll, totalling 21).

So, to correct that mess: Kevin, you do not take 14 damage, as the attack misses. Meraati, your spell remains successful for the first round, as I boneheaded the whole thing!

Yay for writing posts on little sleep! On the plus side, my sister is recovering well, and I will be transitioning back to "supportive aunt life" over the next couple days. Thank you all for your patience.

Thanks for checking on that despite the craziness in your life currently. I hope you get some sleep and there is continual good news all around.

Thanks Nicolette! Also, I owe you an email still on the Stealth stuff. I went down a rabbit's hole researching rules, rules updates, rules debates, alternate proposed rules, and details often forgotten. I have lots of details compiled, just totally disorganized.

Alright I'm back. Life is mostly back to normal. Now to get caught up on posts...

Okay, I am back!! Thank you all for your patience. Let's get back to kicking evil's butt!

I want to throw out there I am okay with scrolls and potions being stored in an "easily accessible" bandolier, belt sleeve, or something similar, allowing them to be drawn as 'part of' a move action, just like drawing a weapon. And don't worry, I won't be shattering/burning them with every spell (though if you fall off a 500' cliff into a pit of lava, there may be some item saving throws). It's not strictly in the rules without feats or super special gear, but it makes using disposable items (scrolls, potions, wands, alchemical equip, etc) a little more reasonable.

Merry xmas & happy holidays everyone.

Same! Merry Christmas to all!

Happy Holidays everyone!

Been 00:00 here. Happy new year!
May it be a better one. ^^

Happy New Year everyone!

Hoping to get restarted in this. I'm just letting people know that I'm here and waiting. Hope everyone is doing alright.

Still ok, thankfully.
And likewise hoping to continue.

I'm still around too.

Well, this long and not having heard from the GM? I'm going to step back from this. I'll see you all on the boards.

Hey all. Hope everyone is still in good health.

Given the passing of time thus far, what are your thoughts on trying to find a new GM?

Yeah, it does look like that's where we're at now.

I'm for trying to find someone to take over, but that's getting harder to do these days it seems.

How many of us are still here?

It's starting to look like it's just us Meraati.
