Sorry I'm lagging. I'll try to get a post up tomorrow after work.
No questions about wealth rule, yet.
>Treasure by Level< chart says level 5 characters will get items of these levels:
4th: 1, 3rd: 2, 2nd: 1, 1st: 2
Does that sound appropriate GM?
I will need at least a day for Level 5, today is busy and I already spent a bunch of time updating my GM games.

Bold is my correction. But yes. Choice between that or just 270.00 gold to purchase everything "lump sum".
Then, with campaign discounts, and additional cash equal to any Downtime used to Earn Income. Basically, if you have spent Donwtime to Earn Income, you should be a little ahead of the curve.
Does that answer you? Keep those questions coming!
I plan on taking the Lump Sum.
Do I also make an earn income check, or was it one of the past things we did for downtime, like working on the Tea House.
The latter.
I have kept a speardsheet on past Downtime totals.
4th: Steel Shield with Minor Reinforcement Rune (I already have this)
3rd: >Shining Symbol< of Shizuru
3rd: Wand of >Bless<
2nd: +1 Katana
1st: >Lesser Antidote<
1st: >Holy Water<
Plus 50 gold Currency
I think that should do. I'll rebuild my character sheets later today.

I also did lump sum. Auntie Wu now has Shared Luck, so you can ask to use it if you roll a Nat 1 when you're within 30' of me.
Lump sum, kept the same gear except:
* officially made his heirloom katana the one that he'll fight with (so it has the fundamental runes)
* added +1 rune to scale mail
One vote to follow her, one vote to stay…
How about quorum of three!
Ability Boosts: Str +4, Con +2, Wis +3, Cha +2
Skill Increase: Expert Crafting +9
Perception is now Expertise +12
Ancestry Feat: >Blessed Blood<
Rank 3 spells (2 slots, 2 per day, Harm is a signature spell)
Does the party have to go together? Player me says "don't split the party", while Auntie Wu would definitely choose to let the boys handle it so she could get some actual harvesting done.
I'm feeling the same about not splitting the party. However, If I do go alone, I'll try to avoid getting into trouble and report back ASAP.
I will let Kazuki decide how risky he wants to play it!
Either way, just for attempting the skill check, he would potentially forfeit his Downtime roll for the week, depending on the outcome!
Two votes to go, one vote to stay…
…pending, of course, Kazuki’s decison…
Quorum of three!
Quorum of three reached - we are leaving Willowshore to track Yami through the Hinterlands headed West!
Going to set that up now...

Clarifying: Does this replace Week 11 Downtime? If so, can Auntie Wu stay back to gather food for the winter and let the guys handle tracking Yami?
@Party: What do you think of Auntie Wu staying behind, if allowed? I'm trying to honor what she would actually do, but sometimes that has to take a back seat to the narrative.
We have a quorum of three moving the whole party forward.
Take a couple days to sort out - I know Lan said he needed a day or two just for leveling…
Vekka will go begrudgingly. He's pretty anxious about Willowshore's food situation.
Separately, I have him just about leveled up, just need to choose an additional language to learn from boosting INT.

Went with Fey, which had previously been stated as prevalent in the area.
Multiple days trip, so yes.
I haven't had time to level up my character. I'll definitely have time tonight.
should our PCS be level 5 when tracking Yami? If so, Kazuki's survival will probably be +1 higher.
Yes, level 5 immediately!
Survival mod is +12 now.
Finished doing my physical character sheet to level 5. Just need to transfer it all to my profile.
All leveled up to 5th. Wow. Lots of big changes with those ability boosts.
Also, I gained the Clever Improviser ancestry feat. Amazing feat.
We are 3/5 Tokens on the Map!

When I play irl, I print out little sheets that have the skills on them, and before the game, highlight with a highlighter which skills are active during a skill challenge. This frees me to use my spoken words for descriptions and let the visual aid do the anticipated mechanics Q&A.
Included on my little sheets are checkboxes for “Group vs Individual”, “Compulsory vs Optional”, and “Consequential vs Inconsequential”, things like that.
I will try and be clear what kinds of parameters I mean when I prompt skill challenges as we move forward.
=)
But to answer your question: the Tracking check is a “Group, Compulsory, Consequential” check, and the Approach check is a “Individual, Optional, Consequential” check.
If that makes sense…
Can a bow take such a rune?

I was a bit worried thinking, "Oh no! Did I miss it's a melee weapon only?" Nope. Just says "etched onto a weapon". Doesn't specify melee or ranged.
2 ancestry feats at 5th with Ancestry Paragon alt rule, correct?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
When creating an ancestry paragon character, instead of starting with one ancestry feat and gaining another at 5th, 9th, 13th, and 17th levels, the character starts with two ancestry feats and gains another at every odd level thereafter (3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, and so on) for a total of 11 ancestry feats.
Still just one at 5th level.

Ah. Only one at every odd level. Ok, thanks.

Apologies for the absence, I've been (mildly) sick and had a busy couple of days. I'll catch up today.
Just glad you okay.
=)
Hope you're feeling better now.
Good to hear you are feeling better, Lan.

Just a heads up:
Old house was sold a couple weeks ago. Heading up to Denver tomorrow to get rest of my stuff out of the house to bring back to Phoenix. I'll be on planes, trains, and automobiles most of the day tomorrow (Monday, the 17th).
I should be able to check in every day, however, bot me if necessary.
Happy St. Patty's Day!

Good luck on the move, I hope it's smooth.
I've done all the feats for Lan, but I haven't done items yet. The thing that I really want to buy is a +1 armor rune (so probably lump sum); I haven't purchased much for the past few levels because of this, but I'm not sure whether I have enough. I will fix that later - all the feats (including Clever Improviser) are on his profile now.
"Lump" should have you covered because iirc it's 160 out of 270 which should give you 90 bucks to just barely afford the 85gp noppera-bo hood...
=)
I put Yami’s pertinent skills in her alias bar.
You can use those to decide if she should roll as one of the 3 secondaries or not.
If you decide to have her participate actively by rolling a check, I will roll for her!

Is anyone Expert in Religion or Occultism? If not, we don't have a primary caster, do we?
LOL! Lan is Expert in Religion! It auto-bumped because he took it as the Skilled Human heritage skill. Lan is Religion (E) +9.
Skilled Human HYPE
This is the first human character where I didn't take Skilled Human or Untrained Improvisation.
By the way, if anyone wants cheap holy water, Sigurd bleeds sacred blood.
Meanwhile,
Go ahead and move your Tokens (if actively participating / rolling) into Yami's red circle on the Map!
(If you are watching, you may do so from anywhere on the map)
Oh... suddenly remembers that we need to update macros after levelling up :D
Will do this a little later tonight after Monday committements.
Looks as though the three of you outclass Yami:
Auntie Wu
Vekka
Sigurd
Go ahead and roll your checks.
Then, we will finalize with Lan, our expert!
