Just ignore me occassionally posting with the wrong Alias, Vivi is totally not a Succubus! And her being pretty charismatic, flirtatious and fond of shadows should not put up any red flags either!

No red flags at all! XD

Ok Discord channel is up!
https://discord.gg/KFnBAaTb
Let me know if something needs to be adjusted.
Bhashir |
No worries. Thanks for the update.
Balan Dhebar |
@Auso - Is it a smart choice? No. But Balan feels bad about being mostly useless so far in this battle, and is worried that he is losing favor with Irori. So, he's pushing himself.
@GM Wolf - I missed the Discord invite, so if you could resend one, that would be appreciated.

For Gorum!
--Switch STR and Dex, so STR is 16, Dex is 15
--Traits stay the same

--Spells known level 1:
Enlarge person (Bonus spell from battle)
Cure light wounds (Oracle)
Divine Favor
Protection from X
Hedging weapons (I know its usually worse then shield of faith, but being surrounded by floating greatswords you can throw for force damage is effing cool)
Skill changes:
--Stealth goes down by 6 (no longer a class skill, no longer skill focus) is now 6
--Copilots note:Stealth is acceptable, so that foes do not simply run away as it see us coming!
--Perception goes up by 6 (is now a class skill, 3 skill points invested) is now 6
--Copilots note:If you can see then you can SMESH them Sister
--Bluff (no longer class skill, minus 1 skill points) is now 4
--Copilots note: Lying is inferior to smeshing Sister, there is no need to hide the truth to those who lay broken before you!
--Acrobatics go down by 3:
--Copilots note: Dodging is for the weak, better get some perception so you can find targets worthy of smeshing!
Vivis new copilot is a Valkyrie with the personality of female Khabib Nurmagomedov

Done, slight alterations: I picked up lounge rather then improved initiative.
Cunning battle plan, enlarge Aukan, Enlarge self, stand behind Aukan and smack fools with 15 feet reach. AC14 while enlarged and hitting with a vicious Greatsword is not conductive to a 27 hp pool if something actually hits back :).
Also swapped helpfull for reactionary, she is not going to assist with a longspear but smesh.
Sendi |
Question!
(1) Sendi has Orc Bloodline boon from before. As part of this she has Touch of Rage. A power which is not really in-character for this paladin/monk.
(2) These rules says that the first level bloodline power can be replaced with a familiar.
(3) One thing that Sendi does not have is skills. Going down the paladin line means 2 skill points per level. Truly sad.
(4) So...Approximating Familiars (AA). Sage Ioun Wyrd. Full rules for both. Only instead of an ioun wyrd floating around, it is a holy symbol of her goddess, Sarenrae. Or more precisely, her mithril dagger would transform as she worships into an angelic ankh, the symbol of her goddess.
(5) As a sage familiar, the skill points will go into knowledge religion and planes. Two skills which a paladin really should know, but with 2 skill points per level she just can't do justice.
(6) The ioun wyrd gives +1 natural armor. But she gets that via her bloodline. The two don't stack and I'm ok with that, as I'm not out for more combat bonuses. This would just shore up a hole in the character sheet while giving a bit more RP potential.
Does that sound alright?
Varvara Ulyanova Vladimirovna |
@Sendi:
Just munchkin wise: Unless you somehow figure out a way to use it on a swift, or have it last for more then 1 round, touch or rage will nearly never be worth a standard action. Trading it for a familar is probably reasonable.
The one edge case where it could be useful is if you are stealthy, next to a high stealth sniper and the enemy doesnt get where you are shooting from, but the most stealthy snipey party member just had an attitude adjustment towards "ALL THE SMESH ALL THE TIME" so yeah, not really :).
Sendi |
Thank you. :)
As for the general usefulness of touch of rage…yeah, it’s only useful if you have nothing at all to do for a round and someone else is in melee or is shooting and wants the strength. Which is not very often.
Varvara Ulyanova Vladimirovna |
Actually first time playing an Oracle, damn, the spells known is really limited at low levels. Ill probably just joink Bull strength at level 4, although I can definitly be talked out of it. I dont think the party will though :).
Looking ahead: Who to buff: Aukan may already have a belt I think?
We have 2 Str 18 Monks, actually If I enlarge and Bull Strength both of them they both get 10 feet reach and STR 24, meaning it probably buffs them more then me, although it doesnt seem to do that.
My Damage dice unbuffed vs buffed:
Unbuffed: 2D6(Greatsword) + 7 (STR16 2 handed + power attack) + 2D6 (vicious)=21
Buffed with enlarge person and Bulls strength: 3D6+12+2D6=27,5
Delta of 6,5
Sendi:
Unbuffed:
2D6 + 20 (2 attacks) = 27
Buffed:
2D8 + 26 (2 attack) = 34
Interesting enough just a difference of 7 as well. I think my math is off somewhere, dont really know monks, but I would have thought that a weapon dice increase of 1 and +6 STR would do more. It will do more once the unarmed die increase to D8, because this is where the size increase table switches to moving it up 2 categories, from d8 to 2D6, they need Monk level 4 for it though.
Still, 34 DPR is where they probably one turn level appropriate foes, and I think i Just divine favor myself and still contribute considerably.
Sendi |
No enchantment so bulls strength works. Would prefer not to be enlarged though. It only makes fists go to 1d8 and it means -2 AC. It’s much better on people with large two handed weapons. Also, as she is only a monk dip, her fists will never be more than 1d6
With Bull’s Strength
To Hit: +3 (BaB) + 6 (Str) + 1 (WF) + 1 (MW) -1 (Power Attack) = +10/+10
Damage: 1d6 (Base) +9/+6 (Str) + 1 (LG) + 1 (Trait) +2 (PA) = 1d6+13 / 1d6+10
Aukan the Goliath |
Aukan has wands: of bull strength, mage armor, and shield, though they only have 4 or 5 charges each.
Bhashir |
Watch 1: random sickly slave, Vivi, and Aukan.
Watch 2: another
Watch 3:
Bhashir can take 2nd watch.
Sassarra |
Proposed watch: let us know if you want to change it somehow.
Watch 1: random sickly slave, Vivi, and Aukan.Watch 2: another random slave, Sassarra, thorgar, Sendi, Bhashir
Watch 3: a different random slave, Auso, Balan
Looks good.
Balan Dhebar |
Sorry about not posting, I had a very busy weekend, and I've only got time today for this short post after reading all the goings-on. I should hopefully be able to get back in tomorrow.
Auso |
Holy cow!
My brother came to visit, I though it would be low impact and I would have a chance to post while he was here, but he ended up getting exposure to Owlcat's Kingmaker on my PC instead . . ..
Even if he hadn't though, the posts EXPLODED over this weekend. WOW.
I saw a request for Auso to examine something, and I'm happy to oblige, but I'm kinda lost about what I need to do.
Is anyone still in trouble enough I should burn more spell slots on healing?
Also saw a bunch of knowledge check DCs as tried to scroll through things. Going to take me awhile to work through all of the posts to figure out where I should try a response . . ..
Victrix |
Hey everyone, an unfortunate message from me. I have a lot on my plate at the moment, and feels like I am not able to respond fast enough before the stuff gets moving. It's hard to reliably keep up the pace.
I feel that there's enoguh people here to compensate for me leaving. With that said, I will bow out of this game. Thank you for having me. It was fun while it lasted.
Here is the link to my inventory sheet.
Feel free to distribute however necessary.
Wolf, please remove me from the thread when you have the chance. Thanks again to all of you, and have fun!
Auso |
Aukan did take some potions of healing, did you want to volunteer your spells instead, Auso?
I have 3 left for the day. 2 easy. I like to try to save the 3rd either as an emergency CLW to stabilize or a Fastidiousness cast at the end of the day. <grin>
GM Wolf |
In the future if you are confused about anything please ask questions before you post. No one has been using descriptive words of where they are so I move you from the few clues you give me. You are more than welcome to move your character.
At the moment I have Liam moving to the front through everyone and to get an AoO from the spider before he even swings.
