Ok sounds good, Zabojrca.
All: With Tocash wrapping up our second quest some time soon, we should figure out who is running our next quest. Does anyone have an appetite for this? Even something simple like a single boss fight could be fun.
I could run one! I'll need a few days to dial in what I want to do, but I could work something up pretty easily.
Sounds great, go for it!
Got the seeds of it ready, I'll get started on the intro post. Remind me, do we level between quests?
Thank you for taking the next leg. I have an idea of what I would like to do...but I've dropped out of some campaigns already due to RL being...RL. So GMing would not be the best right now.
From the last quest, we got 1000 gold to split amongst us. Ghorza now has 2513 gold. Just enough for her to buy a ring of sustenance.
I've got no problems with that as acting GM! Now's a good time to do it. You won't be getting into the thick of it for a little bit, and I tend to favor more RP/skill challenge/exploration heavy-scenarios so you'll have some time to sort out a rebuild.
Sorcerer/oracle huh? All the spells! Haha.
Alright, so Maxy received 250 gp there. Marked. Tocash, should I assume we kept that 500 gp item to sell or give it to Madge as evidence?
Would it be alright to change Ghorza’s vigilante to shifter? I chose vigilante for the dual identity, but that really hasn’t worked out. Instead, the biggest part of her character is the stone aspect.
Could she change vigilante to Elementalist Shifter? I’d try to match the elements to her Kineticist ones. The big part of it is that at lvl4 she can shift into elemental forms, which feels thematic with the Kineticist powers. I think it would be more appropriate, if allowed.

I think that is fine Ghorza since I am asking to change too. With the shifting story lines Vigilante will come up really randomly.

That sounds like a cool change! While the game being based heavily in a single town could probably work for vigilante, I totally agree that the story shifting as much as it does isn’t great for them. As a sucker for shifters, I’m totally fine with that switch, too.
Glad you guys like the flavor of it and allow the change. :)
I agree the change is fine.
A thought for making life easier. What if we ditched loot tracking altogether? Even in a normal game, tracking loot can get annoying. Howzabout we just have automatic bonus progression AND normal wealth by level from now on? That's a bit extra rich but it's a gestalt game so I think it's fine. Plus it's simple. We'll ditch tracking XP as well and just level, say, every other quest?
I’m fine with that!
I'm always a fan of ABP. It just feels right to me. For wealth though? I'd say just not worry too much about it. Given this is all homebrew, it isn't like we can break the game as encounters are designed for this party. I'd say that wealth should stay reasonable for the local economy. Very expensive and powerful magic items serve better as macguffins, rather than something you buy at the market.

Because of how we are doing this, I think we should do some kind of standardized wealth that just automatically increases as we go up. I will say one of the more difficult parts of running was just trying to judge how much treasure I should be giving and that is going to vary pretty wildly between judges. I feel like I was being stingy, but maybe I was actually being overly generous. I am not really sure.
On a different note, I am almost finished converting from monk to Ascetic Oracle. But I will not be speaking Giant, nor will I have any Knowledge: Local.

What if we did the standard for Automatic Bonus Progression, i.e., you get ABP and half the standard wealth by level? Does that handle your issue of worrying about being too rich, Ghorza?
Lol. Yeah I'm going to ignore that.

That sounds the best to me. Get the big upgrades with some customization. This has my vote.

And 1/2 WBL is 1500
I’m over it atm due to the ring of sustenance, which I had posted about. I’ll ignore it for now, and once we level up will start actually using it. It’s mostly flavor anyways, as food/water almost never comes up, and we can do a sleep rotation until we hit lvl4
Ok sounds good. Half normal WBL+ABP.

This reminds me of a lizardfolk druid I had once who only spoke Draconic by default. I put a rank in linguistics at level 1 to get common but RPed him as still learning the language. He spoke with a thick accent, simple sentences, low IQ, and the like. Then one time, he was speaking with someone who spoke Draconic and he suddenly sounded totally wise and competent. It helps a lot to be working in a language you're good at! XD
I love that.
Hahaha. Brilliant.

Hey folks, been slammed with the holidays and the approaching end of the semester. I don't see myself having quite enough headspace to get something up before most likely this coming Tuesday (the 28th.) Apologies for the wait.
Thanks for checking in. Relax, have fun, and for all of the Americans here, happy Thanksgiving.
Yes my schedule has been all out of whack with Thanksgiving as well.
