Doug's Strength of Thousands Campaign

Game Master Doug Hahn

Heads Up:

I'll be leaving town on Friday for a week. I expect to be able to post at least once per day (probably in my evening time), but Saturday and next Friday are likely to be bereft of wi-fi.

Chimwemwe's profile is bot-ified.

Hero Point to Akoril for freeing Root even after accidentally freeing the Nuggets.

Hero points reset to 1 each as we reach the 1/2 way through book 2 and level to 6.

Alrinkiri receives a statue of the Full Spectrum Hawk, made from a dark stone that glitters subtly with all the colors of the rainbow… and also ultraviolet.

Was this meant for Alrinkiri or Akoril (references Akoril's story).

Yes! Sorry.

Hero point to Wisps for the doomage, Soomdevi for talking smack back to Ignaci, and chim for the grapple.

I’ll update the tracker tomorrow; completely torched tonight.

Hero point to Alrinkiri for offering the beads.

Hero point to Chim for pointing out Stupefied tings

Hero point to Wisps for surviving this onslaught

Hero points reset to 1 each. Chim gets an extra for helping with the bookkeeping. Thank you!!

Hero point to chim for the planning ideas, and to soomdevi for the mariama callback.

Sign in for the end of book 2 here: RPG Chronicles

Leveled up, macros updated.

Header updated for reference.
Please note the expanded energy resistances: Electricity 7 (9), Acid 7 (9), Fire 4 (6), Cold 4 (6).

Hero Point to Akoril for killing blow on MEGA

We are on hiatus until further notice. Please keep an eye on Slack for updates.

Hero points will reset to 1 each when we resume.

BTW, looking at my profile I remembered the Kiri's mask can cast wanderer's guide once per day. If we start traveling over rougher terrain and travel speed calculations become important, they'll definitely use that.

Hero point to wisps for having a great problem-solving spell in her repertoire.

+11 HP
+1 to everything
Arcana to Master
Inventor DC to Expert
Offensive Boost: +1d6 Fire damage to attuned weapon and unarmed strikes
9th level Cascade Bearer: bonus expert feat = Magical Shorthand
+1 to Uzunjati related Lore and persuasive skills

Level 9 changes and new abilities:

Level 9 changes and new abilities:

Intimidation -> Master

Ancestry feat: Arcane Propulsion (1/day fly)

Debilitating Strike

Fort -> Expert

+1 to Tempest-Sun Mages related Lore and persuasive skills (Level 5 Tempest-Sun Mages)

Magical Crafting (Level 9 Uzunjati)

Changed my mind: instead of Arcane Propulsion, I'm going to take Lesser Augmentation (Arcane Eye), which gives 1/hour see invisibility

Hero point to Wisps

Hero point to Chim for totally calling it. I'm so predictable!

While you are interrogating the brutes please level to 10.

Hero points reset to 1, wisps starts out with an extra one for the resilient sphere finally working out!

Level 10
Ability Boosts: STR -> 19, CON -> 18, INT -> 19, WIS -> 14
+21 hp (level + CON boost)
Class Feat: Visual Fidelity
Skill Feat: Consult the Spirits (occultism)
Free Archetype: Arcane Breadth
Cascade Bearers: 9*->10, Master skill increase placed in Occultism

The thing to note about Visual Fidelity, which felt really powerful at level 6 and still feels powerful at level 10, is that it gives permanent See Invisibility and resistance Blindness through a bizarre mechanism where the Blindness effect has to try to Counteract the defense.

Kiri level 10:

Ability Score Boosts: STR -> 18, DEX -> 20, INT -> 18, CHA -> 12
Skill Bumps: Thievery -> Master, Performance -> Trained
New Language: Abyssal
Skill Feat: Quick Unlock (Thievery)
Rogue Feat: Eldritch Debilitations (adds Stupified 1 or Unable to Step to the list of effects I can apply via Debilitating Strike)
Free Archetype Feat: Basic Arcana -> Conceal Spell
Branch: Uzunjati 9** -> 10* (Crafting Expert -> Master)

I'd had 2 focus points listed in my profile previously, but I'm now having trouble figuring out why that was. Possible it was correct, but also possible it was a mistake. Hero Lab thinks I should have 1. I never use my focus spell anyway, so it hasn't mattered.

level 10:

Ability Str> 18, Dex>19, Con>18, Int>19
Skill Feat: Cat Fall
Magus Feat: Rapid Recharge.
New Spells: (5) Stagnate Time, Blazing Fissure
Free Archetype: Wizard Advanced Arcana (Bespell Weapon)

Missing Branch stuff: Society to Expert and Eyes of the City Feat, Quick Coercion and Warfare Lore.

Hero point to Wisps for the Sphere… something finally succeeded!

Kiri at Level 11:

Chimwemwe 10 -> 11
+1 to everything
Religion E->M
General Feat: Diehard
Armor Expertise T->E (resist piercing 3)
Uzunjati 5*->6: Expert Skill Increase (insect lore T->E, the background gave it to me, it much come in useful outside of book 1 chapter 1, right?)

Oh, I forgot school advancement:

Hero point to Wisps for de-cursing, using the extra high slot to ensure it worked.

I'm posting this to all of my tables: My apologies for my delays and/or minimal posting for the past few weeks. There has been an unusually burdensome conflux of time sensitive urgencies both at home and at work, some anticipated and some not. Things are beginning to finish up, but I expect it to take another week until I'm above water.

Finally she looks at Kiri. And you… I don't even know what to say. I don't even know what that was. But I'll never forget it.

Same, Worknesh. Same.

Level up!

treasure from this book:

+1 striking maul
bracers of armor type II
dancing rune
dazing coil
deflecting branch (page 75)
goggles of night
golden lions wondrous figurine
greater cloak of elvenkind
greater healer’s gel (Secrets of Magic
greater holy prayer beads
greater midday lantern (page 76)
greater potion of fire resistance
greater twilight lantern (page 76)
moderate thurible of revelation
scroll of eclipse burst
traveler’s any-tool
wand of vital beacon 6th
greater flaming composite shortbow
greater flaming greatpick

____
Hero points reset to 1 each.

Any objection to Kiri taking that wand of vital beacon? They have primal witch dedication, so I think they can cast it, and I think having that on as a daily prep that they can use on themselves or Chim in melee would be a great use of that.

No objection. I think that's a great idea.

Of course, the greater striking rune is on a unique weapon... well, there will probably be plenty of money.

I could make use of the greater flaming rune from the pick.

+2 resilient full plate as well

With the shutdown coming up I've backed up our campaign, and added some basic search.

Do we know what kind of character will be joining us? If not yet, maybe we should wait on some of this stuff.

Test.
