Troubles in Otari (Inactive)

Game Master Dorian 'Grey'

I've always gone with Gaelic for Sylvan. If you'd like I can change it to Irish Gaelic instead of the Scottish Gaelic I've been using? I've got no problem with going the Old Irish route. I've always gone with Welsh for dwarves as there is quite a bit of mining in the history of Wales and I've always associated dwarves with mining. It's interesting hearing what RL languages people use for in game languages.

No were cool, I've got it saved as Scottish Gaelic on his page, he hasn't used it that much anyway. So, let's keep it as Scottish Gaelic. I've seen people who have lists on their home pages, and have always found it interesting.

What do we want to use for elvish?

@Iona yes that sounds good.

@everyone you are awesome sauce!

Thanks, DG!

On languages--I always use a random language generator, which I find to be very fun. In my last big PbP game as DM, Draconic got Slovenian, Orcish got Catalan, Abyssal got Greek, Elvish got Mongolian, and so on.

I found this nifty gadget.

Just a courtesy heads-up, I'll be at my nephew's wedding all day tomorrow (my Saturday/your Friday). I won't be able to post again until my Sunday/your Saturday. Hope everyone has a good weekend! :)

Have a good time with family Iona!

Several questions, not that they all need answered now, but they come to mind.

Since Ambrose can act independently did Leo need to use the move action to reposition. Conversely is there some kind of 'ride' skill he needs to stay seated on the familiar?

As for the telekinetic attack, should he invest in feats like point blank range, or precise shot?

@Leo Independent Ability

It reads as if you still need to use an Action to Command for Ambrose to get 2 Actions, which he may Stride (carrying you) and still has another Action.

If you read it differently let me know, but it seems to call out riding in particular.

Telekinetic Projectile does not need those Ranger Feats, but you can Archetype if you wanted...

EDIT!

@Leo (you may want to unmarked the like botton...I happen to notice that Witch familiar receive 2 Abilities, but you have 3. Scent counts as one unfortunately.

Corgi familiar

Witches do receive bonus Abilities at certain level though. Also, Improved Familiar is a Feat.

Is there no longer a penalty for ranged attacks into melee?

I guess the target gets lesser cover if line of effect passes through another creature's square, but is that it?

Yuppers! They loosened up on certain things. Attacks of opportunity are rare instead of the norm also.

Thats good, about the melee penalty. It's really nerfs ranged builds and forces that feat to disregard it. Ive found most tables just ignore the fact that you have the penalty to attack plus the bonus to AC due to cover, so for them to just reduce it to the bonus to AC is a good move.

So do you need a feat to get AoOs now?

Fighter class is only class that begins with AoO. There are Feats for other classes to pick it up.

Nothing against Airi, just trying to get clarification and sort the scene out. The kobold's stealth was 27 and Airi got 24 for her perception, so she wouldn't have seen it as its stealth trumps her perception or am I missing something when it comes to the Seek action?

Your Perception check is against target Steath DC (Stealth +10).

Seek

It's Stealth 7 plus 10= DC 17

The Stealth rules are tricky but it is now only Hidden to everyone instead of Undetected.

Stealth to Hide

Enjoy your day/night!

Hey y'all, I'm going to try my hand at running a PF2e adventure. The recruitment page is HERE if you're interested.

Very cool, good luck with it!

Excellent! I've dotted my interest via Ariarh Kane (my main id). :)

I'm having a difficult time keeping up with my games as is, or I'd be so into this. Should be a lot of fun--looks like a lot of experienced players are interested!

+1 to that drag action, if you need it.

I forgot to include it. Thanks for the reminder. I've edited the roll. :)

just asking because I can't find it in the rules. Does weapon size matter anymore? Like a human sized crossbow does 1d8, a halfling sized crossbow still does 1d8, a stone giant sized crossbow still does 1d8?

I was asking myself the same question just last week. I found these discussion threads regarding size and pathfinder 2e: Discussion 1 and Discussion 2. I hope they can useful.

I found this in CRB.

Item sizes

In most cases, Small or Medium creatures can wield a Large weapon, though it’s unwieldy, giving them the clumsy 1 condition, and the larger size is canceled by the difficulty of swinging the weapon, so it grants no special benefit. Large armor is simply too large for Small and Medium creatures.

thx. I was really wondering about dmg dice, like do you step up or down according to size. but I guess the extra dmg is built into the creature stats if Large+

@Iona

Bold is mine. It allows you to communicate, using Diplomacy with Animals, which only gnome can do).

Dragons are classified as, well, dragons not Animals.

But, on the positive note, they are intelligent, so Diplomacy still works....in theory.

If all are in agreement, I can move us outside?

It's ok with me. I'm not exactly sure what kind of help were going to get, but if that's what everyone wants to do, I certainly don't mind.

Alrighty! Just a courtesy heads-up, it'll be a very busy next couple of days (today and tomorrow). I'm hosting Christmas Eve for the family as my son and his gf will be spending Christmas day at her family's place. So, I'm doing a lot of prep work/baking today to help me with all the other stuff I have to cook on Christmas Eve.

I'll try and post when I can today. However, tomorrow I won't be on the boards at all. Christmas Day will be a quiet one with just hubby, kitty and I and left overs - by the pool enjoying the sun. I may have some time for posting then. Ha.

by the pool enjoying the sun.

Christmas in the southern hemisphere sounds delightful.

Christmas Day’s supposed to be 30 deg C/86 deg F. It’ll be nice and hot. Haha.

We are expecting our first official winter storm tonight through Saturday! Fun times! High of 19 for Christmas.
Let it snow!

Post in the morning!

Yeah, same storm is hitting us, freezing rain, then snow, wind up to 50 mph gusts.

I guess the big storm is missing us, but still high of 38 tomorrow. High of 45 on axemas day, which is quite pleasant for late december in santa fe.

Merry Christmas Eve to all my fantastic gaming friends!

Yes, merry christmas all, I hope you get to spend the holidays with someone you love.

This was my understanding...

That is what the intro at the beginning of the AP says, but Leo is nt from town like the rest of the party, he's only been in town a couple of days so I'm trying to think of him like that.

gotcha

I will post after work.

Airi & Tann : Julril is currently talking to Vandy Banderdash outside the fishery regarding the egg/dragons. Vandy is the High Priestess of Dawnflower Library (a temple of Sarenrae). So, there's no need to actually go to the library. Shrugs.

I'll admit it, I'm lost. I am not 100% sure why we turned around but I am too out of it to try to sort things, so I was just trying to go with the flow.

IRL I've been working too hard but I'm still behind, so I haven't been able to concentrate on games. Not sure if/when that will change--I just found out that they are throwing another class at me with less than a week's notice. I can't plan it because they haven't told me which one it is yet, and things were already a mess before I got that news (Good news!).

Sorry! I should probably take a break from the game until I can concentrate on it.

There is zero pressure here, my friend!

Post at your availability; but a minimum of Hello.

The library idea is a good one, since those Trained in Arcana may need the bonus and retry granted by researching there.

Vandy Banderdash will be able to give some information, but, she will be inviting the Heroes to research the remainder of the day and go back in the morning to deal with The Menace Under Otari.

Also, Tamily would most likely just enjoy making supper for you Heroes!

It's NYE here in Oz and tonight we'll be celebrating quietly. Tomorrow will be another day for family and rest. I'll see if I can make a post then. If I can't, then I'll be back to normal posting on my 2nd January (your 1st January).

Happy New Year! :)

Happy New Year!

Just checking in folks....

Still here, just waiting for whoever has the plan to speak up.

So, this happened!

Airi has broken her big toe at work. She had a cart run it over. I feel like we just went through this type of thing....

Please be patient with us.

Thank you!

aaawwwwwww, a cart? I hope it heals quickly for her. Well, at least she didn't fall through the ceiling...

A cart filled with 3000 jars of pickled beets....sprites gots jokes...lol!

Ouch. Hope the recovery goes smoothly, Airi. Sends positive energy your way.
