Purchasing 4 scrolls of object reading. 100 gp.

Placing this here for reference:
Psychometry

added info on slides..can someone add my token to the order...on phone right now...thanks

Wow! A lot of posting while I was asleep. I'll hopefully try to get posts in later today.

I still need to update my character sheet on Paizo, but it's up to date on Mythweavers.

Picking up a golem scarab and the adaptive property on my bow, but I might already have that.

What does it take to retrain a feat for my animal companion, i will have done this during the previous down time.

Also, taking Instant Enemy instead of Magic Fang Greater.

o have a wand of gravity bow if you want to use it

You have to spend the prestige/monet for retraining.

It’s more cost effective to dismiss the old companion and get a new one and only loosing the tricks you taught on top.

That’s just mechanics. For rp purposes it could remain the same companion.

Yup. I'll go with the rp of tracking down the same companion.

o have a wand of gravity bow if you want to use it

Thanks, I have two myself.

PFS FAQ: LINK

If you release the companion and gain another, you keep your bonus tricks only. You can then attempt to train the new companion each scenario in a number of tricks equal to the number of ranks in Handle Animal you have. If you have 0 ranks, they'll never get back those 3 or 6 ranks from Int.

Going to get
First aid gloves 4,500 gp (PFS Primer. Own the book as a PDF)

Now I'm confused. Is Majuba another PC? With +5 weapons & armor!?!

That is Leinad posting under his primary.

i'm cool with Majuba joining....lol

@Rallas

What are "prong" arrows?

Anyone recommend a good level 11 feat?

got them ftom AoN...

Rather than narrowing to a single point, a pronged arrow has a wide face with two points resembling a crescent or V-shape. Originally used for hunting game, a pronged arrow deals damage as if one size category smaller, but you gain a +1 bonus on attack rolls against creatures or objects one or more size categories smaller than you.

Also handy if you needed to cut rigging on a ship.

As a note, Elby has this ability from an archetype, which she is likely to want to use if the opportunity arises.

At 8th level, a redeemer can force a defeated creature to accept a binding pact of peace as a condition of its surrender, as if using lesser geas. Her caster level for this ability is equal to her paladin level. Rather than assigning a mission or task, the redeemer gives the creature a simple set of prohibitions to protect others. Example geas include "Leave this city and do not return" or "Do not attack caravans." The prohibition must be against an area no larger than 300 square miles or one specific group of people (such as a tribe or citizens of a particular city). This ability lasts 1 month per paladin level. This replaces aura of resolve.

Sounds great!

Wel, Ajax will grab 10 prong arrows as well :)

FYI, Ajax will wear his amulet of elemental strife as a default.

You guys do realize that you need to own the source that the items come from, right?

So, for the pronged arrows, you need to own the Ranged Tactics Toolbox.

yep...have a PDF of it...wow....I thought you trusted me Inga....*sniff*...after all we've been through...*waaaah!*....

Well, you did say you got it off of AoN instead of your book.

*Big Hug*

@GM - as long as one person beats the DC, we don't need everyone to roll?

Correct.

Will update on Monday.

Makes it nice and fast-paced. Would only have excelled at that reflex save anyhow :)

@Leinad Gaelbraithe: Unfortunately the chase has different mechanics and the distraction currently cannot be used. Taking your roll and applying intelligence leads to no aid unfortunately.

I didn't see any possibility of aiding - the roll was merely for role-play. Lacking anything to do, I thought perhaps I could try to hit the reaver with jinx if it was close enough, which would last through later. That and a minus to initiative makes sense as 'slow it down'. I'll attempt it later if the chance arises.

Maybe we can go with creativity here! I mean you were distracting!!

So let us make this a retroactive success.

:-D

Hello everyone, I am preparing for GMing at gencon online and thus will only be able to post again on Friday.

Have a great week!
