You could have, yeah. We'll resolve that by just letting you not have to make the save this time. In character, the sides of the pit are sloped so that you would have noticed, I just didn't add that bit of description.
My sympathies for those who are spending much of this fight unconscious. Ghorzam, Aygavan, and Zaborjca can confirm that I tend to throw medium to hard combats at my PCs.
Thanks for the bot. In the homestretch (two more days, one prescribed burn plan to write) and then I’ll have way more availability.
Returned from vacation (had bad reception at resort) and have to catch up now. Luckily Ghorza was unconscious, so that kind of worked out. ;)
Lol.
Just so everyone is aware, I'm being way less botty/skippy during the holidays and allowing more time than usual for people to post. This was probably obvious. XD
Sorry. Thought I'd be unconscious a bit longer, crazy week I've had.
I thought DR/- was applied to all damage sources
Gotcha, Zaborjca.
Maeve: "Spells, spell-like abilities, and energy attacks (even non-magical fire) ignore damage reduction." That's in Damage Reduction. Now it should be written better because they had to FAQ that spells which deal bludgeoning, slashing, or piercing ARE affected by DR, which makes good sense.
Ghorza let me know that she is very busy/stressed IRL right now and will be taking a break from PBP for a while. I'll bot her whenever it's just her left to go.
I would recommend a little more strategic coordination among party members.
Yes the pit is over and I have botted you to be standing up now!
What's the plan, PCs? Focus on the summons first, find the invisible summoner first, etc?
My plan is to find the summoner, I figure that he'll be able to make more if we don't deal with him.
We've got some engagement issues with various PCs, due to Christmas break, etc. At the end of this brief chapter, the plan is to switch to Tocash GMing for a brief chapter. Let's re-evaluate then who's committed to the game and who isn't up for it.
Sorry about my spottier posting. I've been sort of stumped on what to do here.
My vote’s for number 1.
I think it's fine. The whole place is on top of a whole bunch of water!
Haha. Yes JoyDriver is usually not a murderhobo. But hopefully this will work out for the heroes. We'll see.
sorry. I'm a bit overcommitted timewise, and being without internet access for the past three weeks has really set me back in this.
Ok do you feel you can be back now, vegecannibal?
And to everyone else, sorry for my slowness this week. Lots of ill people in my house for me to take care of...
Haha. Lol.
Thanks for patience, guys. Sickness with two tiny kiddos in the house is exhausting.
I think there's actually a great deal of rule ambiguity on whether or not the manifestations are visible while the caster is invisible. There was a huge discussion on that in my "Pf 1.5" working server. But yes, he cast acid splash which broke his invisibility. He also cast create pit but I'm pretty sure that was before invis. And then he summoned while invisible but that was SLA of course.
Edit now that I see gameplay and understand the thrust of your question: Yes his eyes turned purple when visible and casting acid splash. That manifestation is unique to him.
JoyDriver, you are taking the first turn to party scribe, right? Please add 1,500 xp for mission completion and 1,600 xp for defeating the CR 5 summoner. Loot will come later.
Woot!
Assuming not: 1d8 HP (5) + 18 Con (4) +1 (toughness) = +10 (32 total)
Saves: None
BaB: +1
Skills: +6
Feats: Steel Soul
Vigilante
* Social Talent: Double Time (Double Time (Ex): The vigilante’s social identity is that of a skilled and respected artisan or professional, rather than a merchant or noble. In order to complete his day’s work while still continuing his vigilante activities, he has learned to work faster than normal, hiding his progress so it seems like he is working full shifts at his day job rather than spending some of that time on other pursuits. The vigilante needs to spend only 6 hours each day for mundane uses of the Craft or Profession skill, rather than 8 hours. If he has the social grace social talent, he needs to spend only 4 hours for any skill he’s chosen with social grace. A vigilante must have a social identity appropriate to the chosen skill to select this talent.)
- Ghorza only needs 4 hours a day on her crafting skills
* Unshakable (Starting at 3rd level, a vigilante adds his class level to the DC of any attempts to Intimidate him.)
Kineticist
* Elemental Overflow with FCB: At 3rd level, a kineticist’s body surges with energy from her chosen element whenever she accepts burn, causing her to glow with a nimbus of fire, weep water from her pores, or experience some other thematic effect. In addition, she receives a bonus on her attack rolls with kinetic blasts equal to the total number of points of burn she currently has, to a maximum bonus of +1 for every 3 kineticist levels she possesses. She also receives a bonus on damage rolls with her kinetic blast equal to double the bonus on attack rolls. The kineticist can suppress the visual effects of elemental overflow by concentrating for 1 full round, but doing so suppresses all of this ability’s other benefits, as well. The next time the kineticist uses any wild talent, the visual effects and benefits return instantly.
* Add 1/3 point of damage to earth element blasts that deal damage that apply the kineticist’s elemental overflow bonus.
* Kinetic Blade: You form a weapon using your kinetic abilities. You create a non-reach, light or one-handed weapon in your hand formed of pure energy or elemental matter. (If you’re a telekineticist, you instead transfer the power of your kinetic blast to any object held in one hand.) The kinetic blade’s shape is purely cosmetic and doesn’t affect the damage dice, critical threat range, or critical multiplier of the kinetic blade, nor does it grant the kinetic blade any weapon special features. The object held by a telekineticist for this form infusion doesn’t prevent her from using gather power. You can use this form infusion once as part of an attack action, a charge action, or a full-attack action in order to make melee attacks with your kinetic blade. Since it’s part of another action (and isn’t an action itself), using this wild talent doesn’t provoke any additional attacks of opportunity. The kinetic blade deals your kinetic blast damage on each hit (applying any modifiers to your kinetic blast’s damage as normal, but not your Strength modifier). The blade disappears at the end of your turn. The weapon deals the same damage type that your kinetic blast deals, and it interacts with Armor Class and spell resistance as normal for a blast of its type. Even if a telekineticist uses this power on a magic weapon or another unusual object, the attack doesn’t use any of the magic weapon’s bonuses or effects and simply deals the telekineticist’s blast damage. The kinetic blade doesn’t add the damage bonus from elemental overflow.
* Blasts: Now 2d6+11!
Sorry for my slowness to push things forward there. Whole family was sick again, covid this time.
Sounds good!
chronicle updated. :)
Great, thank you! The retroactive clarification of the purple sparks manifestation was especially great.
