DM Voomer's Age of Ashes

Game Master Voomer

DANG, there is a lively discussion about whether rays affect swarms. :D (thread ended inconclusively in 2017.)

Hmm... I'm not aware of that one. I haven't seen that being debated out.

From what I am researching:

Swarm Trait doesn't list any restrictions on what physical or spell attacks work. Though it does mention that combat maneuvers don't work.

Swarm Mind does give some immunity to certain spells, but only mental effect spells that would target individuals. So Needle of Vengeance won't work, for example.

Maybe they cleared it up for PF2!

I knew this would inspire some discussion: for PF2 it was cleared up.
Rays effect 1 target, and in PF2, swarms are 1 target.

radness!

Yay us!!!

woooo!

Cev, is your desire to redeem Voz? Lisi is generally ok with mercy or restorative justice or having someone think about what they've done (while exiled to an island sans magic)

Me loving the character development and Dario's last post.

I wish to preface Dario's talk by saying I, as the player, had no problem with things! I adore our oaf so very much and I remember him wanting his moment to go "oh, I shouldn't charge in all the time" and I am hopefully supplying it.

Just prefacing, because there is no tone or physical gestures online, that I am not actually mad and I love everyone here. That's all. <3

Fern, are we allowed to take Uncommon spells? I was thinking of Gritty Wheeze. Also realizing that I should just use the Heal wand instead o' the spell, and get a sheath for it for rapid deployment.

Ugh, that's a tough one; I'm going to go grab Yuelral's Paladin Code for us to look at.

Also having trouble finding the Marriage Officiant archetype, but I am on it!!! It could be I just need to write to Pathbuilder Support ;)

Lisi, I'm okay with that one =)

Heartbond ritual. You would want the Ritualist archetype.

Thanks, Fern! Ok, I think Lisi is ready with an assortment of attuning geomantic spells, and Restoration. And Barkskin. :)

K, so, in principle, sure we could give her a shot at redemption, with love though #REALtalk, Cev is currently disinclined.
"Never allow its misuse" is a strong tenet of the faith ...




The paladins of Yuelral are protectors of elven magical knowledge and of natural and magical wonders such as the aiudara. Their tenets include the following affirmations:

I will never defile the beauty of nature, nor cut a raw gemstone for aesthetic reasons.
I will remain vigilant for talent in craft and magic. When I notice it, I will encourage its good use.
I will respect the power of magic and never allow its misuse.
I will preserve the wisdom of the elves for the greater good before all other treasures.




Cevendyl - LEVEL 4!
https://pathbuilder2e.com/launch.html?build=205217
please note that Cev2.0 has both Quick & Assured Identification

I'll get to changing all of the stats this evening.

Summary of level 4 additions:
* Enhanced Familiar (+2 abilities for Sulee)
* Nimble Dodge
* Magical Crafting

Fern, for upgrading existing equipment (such as Lisi's wand): I don't think there are any actual rules for that. Basically the mechanics of it are that you sell the old equipment for 50% of its value and then buy or craft a new one.

So to reflavor that as upgrading: it would be to disassemble the old equipment - getting 50% of its value in materials, then crafting a new item. Yes?

"Never allow its misuse" is a strong tenet of the faith ...

In general, the creation of Tenets and their hierarchical ordering was designed precisely to avoid the problem of having fallen paladins unless the player actually wants to play that for their character.

You must first try to redeem those who commit evil acts, rather than killing them or meting out punishment. If they then continue on a wicked path, you might need to take more extreme measures.

This is the one that is most applicable. And even this one is left pretty much up to the player.

We have met Voz. We know what she has been doing. She knows that we don't like it and that it is something that we stand against. She has shown no inclination of changing her ways.

Required offer of redemption satisfied.

Oh crap - I think that might actually hit you, Cev.

Disclaimer - this is not PvP per say, Just a little roleplayong moment, if Fern will allow it.

Don't forget the -2 from being prone. With Cev's level 3 AC at 19 I think you will just barely miss.

Yea that'a why I said it might. But with the -2 probably not.

Also, not related to this campaign in particular, but... have you heard the news?

Kineticist HYYYYPE

Playtest starts monday, I think. New book with primal focus, meaning new druid toys, Lisi.

Now just the inquisitor, and my favourite 3 classes from 1st edition will get their chassis in 2nd. Hell yea!

and Cev dies, because he chose to heal the swashbuckler first ...

Stats updated on profile and initiative macro chart.

Works for me!

I loooooved the idea of a kineticist. They lacked versatility and skills and, well, Burn was a harsh mechanic. Sorry, Mr. Seifter! Looking forward to a different take on the concept this time around.

And yay, more primal spells and thingies!

Dario is all leveled up. He now has the ability to reload while moving. Doesn't seem like much but it would've basically doubled my attacks per round if I had been able to do it.

EDIT: Exquisite Joran, I think they're now best friends.

Isn't it super late at night? Can we continue? Can we even load new spells?

:) Hey, you set it up beautifully, my man. Kudos, buddy. :)

Personally, I am more interested in that rapier that the Hobgoblin had.

strike 1, rapier: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28

damage to Alak: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (2, 5) + 3 = 10

Leaving that for someone else to find though. I got the books and notes. Oren was collecting bodies and loot...

if 4 hours have passed we slept, yeah?

And what about second breakfast? :P

Also, Lisi could probably use some enchanted leather armor. :)

Also also, if it's morning, he'll do another Diplomacy roll with the warglets.

Yeah, you could.

Those doubling rings looked neat until it was only for melee weapons. Womp womp.

Yeah, the ones you want are the Blazons

Fern, quick question on in-game time of day.

If I recall correctly, we started out for the cavern late morning. Probably got here about midday. Had a nearly one minute battle. And now have taken at least a couple hours to rest and recover afterwards.

So probably early afternoon now at least, yes?

Yep! That sounds about right to me.

Okay, so resting long enough to regain focus but not other spells, healing up, etc, then you guys are going to continue?

Has everyone finished leveling? I can move us along whenever you're all ready.

*Blinks and goes to make the next map because she just realized she didn't yet.*

I'm not opposed to continuing, but do realize that we are pretty much out of in-combat healing entirely. Cev has Lay on Hands once per battle, and Lisi has two scrolls of L1 Heal.

...

...

That's it. Unless someone else has some new tricks that I am not aware of.

This is what's leftover.

3 : 2d8 ⇒ (1, 8) = 9
7 : 2d8 ⇒ (2, 1) = 3
10 : 2d8 ⇒ (6, 1) = 7
11 : 2d8 ⇒ (3, 4) = 7
14 : 2d8 ⇒ (5, 4) = 9
15 : 2d8 ⇒ (2, 6) = 8
16 : 2d8 ⇒ (8, 8) = 16

-------------------------------------

Those 5 belong to Yasamina. That's 44.

8 : 2d8 ⇒ (8, 3) = 11
19 : 2d8 ⇒ (6, 2) = 8
20 : 2d8 ⇒ (6, 2) = 8
21 : 2d8 ⇒ (3, 6) = 9
22 : 2d8 ⇒ (7, 1) = 8
---------------------------------------

This belongs to Dario. His 6.

17 : 2d8 ⇒ (2, 4) = 6
-----------------------------------------

These 3 belong to Oren. Looks like he's down 38.

4 : 2d8 ⇒ (6, 6) = 12
5 : 2d8 ⇒ (8, 5) = 13
2 : 2d8 ⇒ (7, 6) = 13

-----------------------------------------

These 2 belong to Alak. Down 22 after Cev's +12

9 : 2d8 ⇒ (6, 6) = 12
13 : 2d8 ⇒ (8, 2) = 10

------------------------------------------

These 3 belong to Lisi. Down 19. Unless he ate his berry. Unsure.

18 : 2d8 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7
23 : 2d8 ⇒ (1, 2) = 3
24 : 2d8 ⇒ (5, 4) = 9

--------------------------------------------

No idea how far Cev is down.

---------------------------------------------

Doesn't look like Caiten took any damage

---------------------------------------------

And these would be Joran. Down 38.

2d8 ⇒ (7, 8) = 15
12 : 2d8 ⇒ (7, 8) = 15
6 : 2d8 ⇒ (7, 1) = 8

Was curious as to how much treat wounds was left over.

Doesn't look like Caiten took any damage

Indeed. Something about being next to two raging barbarians destroying the fortifications and a guy with a pistol landing headshots regularly makes me much less attractive of a target.

I'm ready to roll whenever. Still got to update Joran's sheet but getting that done now.

You know, now that you put it that way... ;)

Oh, it's afternoon? I totally forgot we slept at an inn... :D

I figured out how to make a Wand of Heal in Pathbuilder, so that's something.

I'm going to fly to Southmoor, Land of the Linnorm Kings tomorrow, and will be oot and aboot most days until the 11th, so I'll look for the 500+ posts. Will probably be able to post in the evenings.

500+ posts? Man if we get to that number before you check in then we really ARE slacking. ;)

I should have added a few zeros to the count... :D

Noted. Daddy Dario needs himself some blazons and magical goodness.

Don't think any of us know about 2nd breakfast, Lis. Or even elevensies.

Blazons would be perfect for you, Dario. That's a pretty good item.

The Wolf Fang says: "affix to armor". That's a pretty neat little item. How long does it take to "affix to armor". Is that an all-day affair or what?

Affix Talisman takes 10 minutes. You will need to borrow Caiten's crafting toolkit, but it doesn't require any proficiency or rolls.

All the heals crunching by people who aren't me is greatly, massively appreciated, lol. I'll get things scooting along here...

Cool. Will keep that in mind. Thanks. Should've done that earlier but will catch it next time. Just don't sell it. :P

Oh lawd. I leave for 1 day and come back to a backlog of 50 gameplay posts.

Need to go through them. Give me a moment.

Ooooh snap, a +1 Striking rapier! Sweet.

Some mechanics in this web room:
-100% of it is difficult terrain so half speed and no 'step' actions
- anyone adjacent to a wall when their turn ends has to make a DC 18 reflex save spend one action of their next turn becoming unstuck.
