"Ah, over in Roll20 then. That's fine. I just wanted to officially roll the check I was already getting credit for. To do otherwise would violate causality, and the Society already has enough problems with that."
"Also, try not to get hurt, anyone." Seems a little obvious, but he was there to help with the Knowledge checks, and not passing along the results is not helping. Usually.
After checking his notes, Lichaam adds "Any response to my questions from the second half of this post? I just rolled over to a new page and don't want them to get lost."
The corridor is 5' high, this place was built for dwarves. None of the enemies have any magical effects on them.
The aura is 30' radius and effects creatures summoned into the area.
I havent heard from Eadie so am planning on moving forward.
@Yanndu, I believe you can only benefit from one resist energy spell at a time given the duplicate effects rule.

Unfortunate but not unexpected. Definitely not moving up, then, until there's somewhere in the hall for Lichaam to move to.

Looks like that'll be most of the room, then. Ick.

Nah... had several resist energy spells up in multiple games. Works the same way in the Kingmaker and Wrath of the Righteous video games... it's just VERY slot intensive and usually only done for boss fights if you have enough slots left.
I think that's the first time I've seen that interpretation. Interesting.
For reference: The rules (which seem to be copied from 3.5e)
I can see where you're getting that from, with the "same effect with differing results" section. Which I don't think I've seen before, and really don't like. On the other hand, there's an FAQ regarding the Evil Eye hex that flat-out says "well it's basically several different versions glued together, so it still works with itself." Plus the console games that allow it, but they aren't quite using the same ruleset anyway.

It doesnt work I am afraid.
Same Effect with Differing Results: The same spell can sometimes produce varying effects if applied to the same recipient more than once. Usually the last spell in the series trumps the others. None of the previous spells are actually removed or dispelled, but their effects become irrelevant while the final spell in the series lasts.
Although it is unlikely to matter here.
Lichaam included you in the haste just before we walked in, so you can save the boots. Hopefully won't matter, but worth mentioning.
Sorry, force of habit.
I've heard from Eadie's player, he's got a lot on his plate right now. OK if I bot her GM?
If Eadie go to the left of Thurl, he can flank with Korin.

That is fine

I even read the Construct monster type when we found out what this was, specifically looking for resistance to paralysis, and didn't find it. Just about used Chains of Light before re-checking.
Here's hoping the advertised "terrible" defenses really are that.
As for Thurl, he could still roll a natural 1. Even if he doesn't, call it preemptive invisibility prevention.
If Thurl uses a summoning ability or attempts to teleport one of us away, Lichaam will use an immediate action to cast Conjuration Foil. I don't want to use it if Thurl teleports for fear of him getting sent to some distant location and deciding "nah, I don't need to go back and finish fighting, I'll just stay here."

adamantine good slashing damage: 2d4 + 26 + 12 ⇒ (1, 1) + 26 + 12 = 40
How does Eadie got +26+12 damage? I thought the 12 power attack is already included.
Melee +2 adamantine falchion +25/+20/+15 (2d4+7+12+2+2+3/15-20)
That's 2d4 base weapon + 7(Strenght 5*1.5) + 12 (PA 8*1.5) +2 enhancement + 2 weapon specialization + 3 weapon traning.
The +2 from Hunter's Blessing should make it +28 damage.
Beep-boop! Error detected!
To err is human, to really foul things up requires a robot.
(Korin is correct, this bot had a reading failure).

Although I'm fine with your rule GMAndrewW, here's what JJ had to say on the matter a good while back...

Thanks for that, its an interesting point but JJ has always been clear that he is not a rules guy. I dont think that would change my mind give it goes pretty directly against the text in the CRB.

Lichaam looks somewhat alarmed at Thurl's actions. "I need to point out that quickened hold monster is of an equivalent complexity to spells like wish or time stop. Thurl's transformation, even without sacrificing Muhlia, gave him significant power."
True, he'd already faced opponents with spells of that power, but they were nasty fights. At least Thurl only had the one minion, who was currently blinded.

No problem. At least you can now appreciate where some of us are coming from ref. resist cold not being the same as resist fire . They used to be separate spells just so you know, and if a caster makes a potion or scroll he needs to set that choice down upon item creation I believe (or maybe that part is another video game hangup I'm having lol)
True Seeing does not offer me a save indeed. My ability doesn't require it to allow me to make a saving throw though. If a saving throw is required, he is immune.
I would absolutely read that ability as only affecting spells which give you a save. The harmless tag merely means that a target of the spell may make a save if they wish to.
In any event, your reduction to Thurls CMB has caused his attempt to fail.
That's assuming it's true seeing, of course. And since Lichaam's greater arcane sight didn't pick up its aura, or any other...
It is in fact true seeing. He also has cloak of chaos. Both are constant SLA's. I missed both on my initial pass as I was looking for pre cast buffs in his tactics, of which he has none.

That's a totally reasonable and valid reading of the rule. Just trying to see if this ability will ever get any use.....
Would you say Mind Thrust falls under the category of divination spells that require saving throw?

Yes, its a divination spell which targets you and requires a save. True Seeing has no actual effect on you.
Yanndu, please fill in the RPGChronicles link with your character information or PM me your details if you prefer.

Lovely working with all of you, and I was not expecting Korin to suddenly go that hard.
Korin, don't forget to scribe whatever you want from Lichaam's library (also see spellbook #5 on this list, as it mostly didn't make it into the "master" list)
Before leveling up, Lichaam will retrain one feat (Iron Will -> Skill Focus: Knowledge: Arcana). That will cost 5pp and 650gp, and enable him to take Loremaster on levelup.

Nice, if Korin ever encounter a certain monstrous dogs that Mind Thurst people using their baby's mind, he can slam that IMMUNE to its face.
And thank you for running! It was a pleasure playing.
