That's for actual magical item effects not the ABP itself.
Ok, so the ruling is that it does zilch for me and Molasbar, right?
yep, same as getting a +1 on a suit of armor you can't wear. Now, if you go light armor proficiency and then went stylish and put on an armored skirt, I mean kilt, then you could take advantage of the +1.
When we get to 5th level, can I use the weapon proficiency bonus on “rays?”
Since it replaces the enchantment bonus for magic weapons i’m thinking not. Rays already have the advantage of going against the touch AC.
Roger, that’s how Unchained calls that one also, I just didn’t know if you had a different intent since you’re not using all of them, and are interpreting them differently.
Query: as I go to use my Cold spell, instead as electricity, it occurs to me to ask.
I haven't had a chance to shop yet, but when I do, I'll be grabbing some power components for focus to add +1 damage to certain spells. How do you rule that works when I admixture the element of the spell? If I make a fiery cone of cold, does liquid ice still give it a +1 damage, or should I have alchemist fire for that maybe? Can that spell only be enhanced in ice mode? Is there a power component for electric damage? An Energizer Bunny, perhaps?
not familiar with power components so let me read up on it.
I can see something about enhanced components. Is that what you were going for?
Alchemical power components are listed here in a pretty easy to find way. The only one I can see that would help electrical damage is black powder.
My guess is that the component applies after admixture, so a fire component wouldn't work with an electrical effect.
I tend to use this page
Right, I’d agree, that a flask of liquid ice won’t help if I change the ray’s type.
Ok, I'd say it is the element that counts so if you change the element then you would need the reagent for whatever you switched to.
Roger
Aurie, isn't your falcata dmg 1d8+5, +7 when raging? You had a +9 in this last battle but I don't see that. Am I missing something?
Piranha strike (feat at level 3) for another +2, and minus 1 to hit.
So the to hit should be 3 (bab) +5 or 7 (dex) +1 (masterwork) -1 (piranha strike) and another -1 if I am actively TWFing (my trait reduces the TWF penalty on the main hand by 1).
Thanks for the bump, GM. I didn't see your post about who was up next and I'm not sure why.
Thats weird, it didnt show as updating on my end, now there are 13 posts.
It does that for me as well. I'll refresh and it doesn't show updates then *boom* there's a dozen posts that I've missed. Plus I had a long weekend away so haven't been on for nearly a week. Sorry about that, but I am here and ready to keep going.
Fellow gamers, we're going out of town for a week, I should be back and able to post next Saturday!
I am back! Catching up.
Stressfull times, but your regularly sceduled stabbing (of foes) shal resume soon!
Welcome back!
Excellent, we took our time weaving our way through the passageways and are nearly ready to have something stabbed.
Just to be clear. I'll move forward with two people voting on a given course of action.
Aurie probably is going to attack, because Galtese vs devils, and she is more inclined to ignore a Lemure then a "somewhat higher" devil
Shathee would have no issue with that. Much simpler than following this potential chain of assassinations, but he could go either way. So asked a question to see if he could get info on the next devil before we took him out. So I'm good going through and following the trail of devils, then cleaning them out on the way back down the line, or going straight for the jugular each time.
I agree with Shathee. The more we can learn about other foes on this level from others, the better. In the end, they are all inherently evil and we should take them all out, I think. But if they offer some treasure as rewards that we don't have to hunt for, that's just a bonus. But that's a chaotic good character speaking. If there is someone lawful that doesn't like double-crossing them or someone good that doesn't like leaving them alone while we take out others, I'm flexible.
Yeah, Aurie is agreeable to that, I dont want to push the "I attack" button while other party members still are parleying.
I think most of us are CG.
It sounds like we want to follow the trail and come back and attack the devils after we have investigated each of their errands. That's fine with Doc. :)
I hadn't bothered to check, but yes, I too am CG. How many others?
Do we really have an entirely CG party? That's pretty hilarious an awesome. Totally unpredictable and greedy! LOL
We'll do the right thing, but by the gods we'll do it our own damn way!
Hey guys, if everyone plans to post only once a week, then count me out. Cimrôdel isn't the one in this party to be breaking down doors, and leading us down hallways. He's the thinking guy and provides fire support.
I definitely get that. My apologies for my delays in posting. I'll plan on checking every day and posting either live or in discussion, as appropriate, at least every other day. Certainly agree we need to get this moving. It feels like we've been exploring this tower for months.
It is a magic circle turned inward to contain summoned creatures within. It is unlikely the creatures can cross the boundary.
These are small fire elementals. They are immune to bleed, poison, paralysis, stunning, critical hits, sleep, and fire.
They are much faster than a man. They can see in the dark. And, their very touch can set clothes and equipment on fire.
Oops, I put that on the wrong side.
It's all good, I rolled it here, and reported it there.
I really thought Cimrodel would have fun with Shathee's waxing eloquent on the communication attempts of the elementals. As a note, I have no issues if someone disagrees with his assessment of things. I find this particular view one that should be pondered philosophically, but find the practical applications of the pursuit to be... lacking. :-)
Apologies for disappointing!
LOL No disappointment at all.

GM, I'm sorry about the window of silence. The caretaking I've been doing has been pretty exhausting. I'll try to be more diligent. I appreciate your patience with me.
I understand, no worries
Molasbar's arrow goes really wide and the imp laughs at the poor shot. Then Aurie dances past Shathee, avoiding a stinger swipe by the imp, and slams her sword into the beast causing it to pop like a waterskin full of air.
I'm going to claim an assist on this kill. I made the imp laugh so hard it was easy prey for Aurie's strike!
Ok Heroes, I head out to Scouts BSA Summer Camp tomorrow morning for a week. Wish me luck with that endeavor.
Following that, it is family reunion at a State Park for the next week.
If I pop in to the game, it will be quick, and not very substantial, so press on, and keep things moving.
Roger. Have fun. I'm planning to try and hit the Philmont Scout Ranch next June if our lot is drawn.
Have a great time at the camp! I hope it is full of great events and greatly lacking of mishaps!
I am back, sorry for the absence!
I needed a total break from all social media for a bit.
Now to read up on things.
