If I haven't posted it already, then I am not certain what you are asking.
Crap! Only minor, so no bonuses! I suck!
In more helpful news, I am in the middle of dropping almost all my PF1e games, so my brain can just stick to PF2e rules!
I will be remaining in like 4 of them, because they are either almost completed and/or I really enjoy the group and DM.
My apologies for missing it.... again. This is a difficult class to wrap one's head around; especially starting at 11th.
I seen your Oracle Thread and appreciated your diligence.
You may want to consider the Repeat a Spell Exploration Activity in the future?
Why are Max and Osh still damaged? Do we not have someone who can Treat Wounds outside of Combat? Anyone Expert/Master with Ward Medic?
Audi is not trained in Medicine.
I play our Healer in my weekly AoA game, so just asking.
Max and Osh took a LOT of damage from that stank beast. Osh was KOed and in Dying condition.
I did use Soothing Spring + Treat Wounds once we were done. That wasn't enough to fully heal them.
Each Treat Wounds is 10 minutes. Ward Medic is great for out of combat Healing because you can Treat 4 people at Master in 10 minutes. Otherwise, it just takes longer.
Could we have not proceeded until Cirri Treat Wounds on each of them until full?
If not on time crunch that is?
Edit!
I am so spoiled with my Healer. I had forgotten that you would need Continual Recovery to bypass the 1 hour thing.
Being a Healer is complicated, but if we don't have a dedicated one, each may need to be able to self heal a bit?
By the Cirri, your Spell is fantastic and you contributed fully well!
Max uses triple shot on the statue
Max - do you have the Link or Text for this ability?
Pretty cool 2 Action ability is Triple Shot
One of our previous teammates was the team healer, so now I've taken over. Wish I remembered my own feats, though- we could have healed more.
I do like how hard it is to fully heal unless you dedicate a lot of resources. 1e was too easy to top off- especially in PFS where you get a Cure Light Wounds Wand easily.
...
As you are also participating in two other Fists of the Ruby Pheonix campaigns (which are advanced in timeline from this one), I am going to ask you, after this fight, to choose another skill feat in place of Dubious Knowledge.
Cheers.
I just realized this thing is going to crit me like crazy. Switching my plan from "tank until the fighters get close" to "hit and run as much as possible to stall for time." Luckily I have 40 feet of flying speed.
Start of Combat, end of round and certain abilities may trigger a change.
I rolled at the end of his turn.
During combat or another tense, round-by-round encounter, other ancestors wrestle for control of your actions. When you roll initiative, and then at the end of each of your turns during the encounter, roll 1d4 and change your predominant ancestor appropriately. Once the encounter ends, you return to the influence of the ancestor you first rolled for the day.
Max - Where did you get this figure?
...
In the event a PC is "up" for more than 24 hours, this is a buddy system where players vouch to "bot" the missing player alphabetically before and after (and wrapping around) their own PC's name. To assist when you are out, please house "botting instructions" in your character's profile:
◆) Aoibhean
◆) Audi
◆) Cirri
◆) Max
◆) Osh
Audi, I'm in charge of you again! lol
I am not certain to which you are referring...lol.
"Botting Instructions" is now the first spoiler on my profile.
Druids are too versatile, there's too many things I can do!
Hey guys! Sorry, been very sick these past few days. Got tested, not Covid. But been drained of energy. Feeling better thanksfully!
Will add a 'bot' instructions sometime today or tomorrow!
Botting Instructions:
If below half health, try to heal:
- Use 1 action to interact with Vital Beacon to heal me.
- If still below half use 2 Action Heal Heightened 2 (or higher if needed).
If in melee:
- Cast (◆◆) Heroism S and (◆) Strike Melee Bespell weapon
Posted in Profile with appropriate links.
Ancestors Oracle is the most complex class in the game. This means that you may need to give it a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th... read-through.
Bump.

@Cirri - I will leave these here to get acquainted with:
Aerial Combat
Fly
Fly Speed
Maneuver in Flight
The 4th link will not be needed unless some weather or obstacle becomes a part of the environment - likely not for this encounter.
My fault for not updating my status bar with Stoneskin.
Stoneskin blocks 10 physical damage (at the cost of losing 1 minute duration).
Dragon Form gives 10 Temp HP.
The monk crit me for 46 damage total, so Stoneskin absorbs 10 and I lose the 10 Temp HP. So I take 26 real damage.
I should be at 126 HP with 19 minutes - 1 round of Stoneskin.
---
Ninja posting with the DM, fun! Thanks for the links. I'll adjust my distance based on difficult terrain. (40 ft of Flight = 10 feet horizontal and 10 feet up)
I am planning to use the "Expert: Hover midair" option from >Maneuvers in Flight<. DM, what would you consider the DC to be? I have a +21 Acrobatics (Master).
@Cirri - I fixed my math error with an edit - should be updated in tracker.
For Maneuver in Flight, I will tend towards using Simple DCs corresponding with those found in the link (again, unless some weather or new obstacle becomes a part of the environment...)
@Max - I'm still unsure where you are getting the "1.5" figure.
|
Okay, double. As far as the 1.5 thing. I probably remembered it wrong when I played Reign of Winter. Moving through snow costed 2 for 1, except when you had snow shoes, where moving through snow costed 1.5 for 1. And I thought it turned greater difficult terrain into regular difficult terrain, but snow and snow shoes and all that I guess has its own rules.

live feed of me as i read that a 34 misses
Audi: I think where you might have tripped up on your curse is not rolling on the Ancestors Table™ immediately after rolling initiative (aka before your first turn). At first I thought it was a weird place to put it (as opposed to at the beginning of each turn) but as I thought on it more I realized it's to let you plan your turn out while you're waiting to act. If you didn't have a whole round (or as close as you can get for your first turn) to think about what to do within the confines of your curse, it would be a real pain in the butt.
Granted, that's all for table play and not PbP where we have more time to get things right, but it was interesting to me (this parenthetical is here because all the other sentences have one and it felt weird ending without one).
Would you like suggestions? It's okay if not.
GM, question: Can I use Arcane Cascade as my first action in a turn, if my last action was to cast a spell on the previous turn? So no free actions, reactions, etc in between. It's not relevant right now since I'm already in the stance but I came across it and wanted to get your take.
Post after work. Running late this morning....
The good news: It has no reactions. We could flank it to Flatfoot it.
But Aoibhean mentioned it has some kind of physical resistance. I have the means of non-physical attacks, like the dragon form's Breath Weapon and my primal spells. I assume Aoibhean has attack spells she can simply cast without dealing with Spellstrike. Audi, do you have blasting or buffing capabilities?
Seems like our best strategy is to stall for time while the casters and archers whittle it away.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
If that is the issue, then much gratitude to Aoibhean for directing my attention to that specific error.
Unfortunately, most of Audi's damage comes from Mental and Negative spells.
Haunting Hymn is Sonic, so there is that.
I feel like we need to parley with it but not seeing Audi coming up with that idea.
He seems like he may be pulling his punches....lol.
EDIT: I would like to shamefully retract my previous statement! OUCH! I can't stop laughing at the ass whopping that I just got...lol!
Well played, sir! I knew that I should have tried Diplomacy; although, Audi does not have the proper Feats to allow it in combat....
GM, question: Can I use Arcane Cascade as my first action in a turn, if my last action was to cast a spell on the previous turn? So no free actions, reactions, etc in between. It's not relevant right now since I'm already in the stance but I came across it and wanted to get your take.
I am unclear the ask here. Is this a question about the Requirement?
Edit: I understand now I think. Yes, if your last action from Round One meets the Requirement (which includes Reactions), then you can "open" in Round Two with Cascade. Is that what you meant?
Yes, that's it. Thanks!
Let there be called the "Continuity Axiom", such that our players experience Encounter Mode piecewise through multiple intervals (◆◆◆ | ↺ | ◆◆◆ | ↺ | ◆◆◆), whereas our characters experience Encounter Mode continuously through a single interval (◆◆◆↺◆◆◆↺◆◆◆).
Hey gang - Old Man barely survives either way - but is Hardness applied before or after multiplying for a critical hit?
You calculate the damage and all modifiers (such as doubling from a crit) first, then apply resistances/hardness.
Ah, there's the explosive damage Magi can deliver! At least 1e Magi, Aoibhean is the 2nd 2e Magus I've seen.
And with the classic magus spell, even!
Moving on with Four
Audi, I'm going to ask you to step down at this time - GMing for you has been exhausting, and I do not see it being something I am looking forward to for the next 1-2 years of this AP.
To the rest, I am prepared to move on with a four-person team, and unless I hear otherwise (publicly of privately), my assumption is that we are moving on with four.
Ok.
Please drop me from campaign page then.
GM, I'd like to confirm my HP total. The rest tracker shows me at 81/140, but the encounter tracker going into the final round shows me at 120/140, with no damage posted in the meantime. I think you might have copied and pasted it from the rest tracker after the last fight, where I was also at 81/140.

@Aiobhean - ayup, fixed!
Another way to advance the game is to move the Party Token on the Map!
Let's finish exploring the temple, then. Maybe we can find a clue to stop the haunt.
Affliction (Diseases and Poisons)
Going to leave this here!
Cirri can fly for 10 minutes a day, so she could also just take off and blast these swarms from afar.
>Crashing Wave< is a 30 foot cone and is my blasting option.
>Spout< is my cantrip and it's an AoE.
>Wall of Water< may drown the bugs as they swim through the wall (assuming they can swim).
I haven't taken any actions yet - any advice?
(Someone needs to Recall Knowledge on these things. I would but blasting them immediately may be the better option.)
Got interrupted on my way here to post. My plan is very similar. While I don't have any (damage dealing) AoE spells prepared, I can use my staff to cast 3rd-level lightning bolt twice or a 4th-level fireball once. I'll probably go with the two lightning bolts so as to minimize the chance I blow us all up. Still, I want to wait until Max has a chance to vacate the targeted area.
Affliction (Diseases and Poisons)
Persistent Damage (Bleed) and Assisted Recovery
I'm confused, what caused me to take bleed damage? Did I take it after they clang to me?
Yes, they are Clinging to you! (Or were until you rolled that 20...)
Speaking of which: That is another Exposure! Roll Fortitude!
Max, don't forget you have Juggernaut; all of your successful Fortitude saves were actually critical successes.
