☠ Season of Ghosts w/ DM rainzax ☠

Game Master rainzax

Kazuki,
What is the "hunters arrowhead" in your die expression?

Minmaxers were salivating about triggering Holy weaknesses 9 times with a single swing...

Kazuki,

What is the "hunters arrowhead" in your die expression?

It's one of the items I picked up when I last leveled up.

There's also a link to it in my gear listed on my profile page.

I just noticed it has the "Rare" tag. Am I not allowed to have it?

"Rarity Boons" under "Houserules"

Is it just me, or can other people not stop giggling at the image of this enemy being one of the inflatable frog costumes at the Portland ICE protests?

I'll take the bait, then refrain from further agitation for no other reason than "game / life seperation".

As a Mainer, I'm a little disappointed our Socialist Marine isn't using his platform to get meaningfully involved in Catch of the Day - likely due to his possibly-correct but possibly-incorrect assessment that doing so would risk his standing in our tenuously Purple state.

Dammit. Ok. I'll swap it out with something with the Common tag and worth 80 gp.

Ok. Suddenly appearing on Kazuki's arm is a Wildwood Ink tatoo of the Tan Sugi tree after accepting the teachings of Sangpotshi.

I will swap that out for the Hunter's Arrow.

I was just doing some PFS accounting, and noticed that we did not get a Chronicle at the end of Level 6. We are still in Book 2 / Fall, correct? Just leveled up before the end of the book?

(There's no hurry, it's just my annual / semi-annual making sure that Paizo.com matches my Google Drive and my Excel sheet.)

End of Book 2 (Fall), yes.

You should have chronicles from the first book (Summer).

So, how many times have you done this?

He's curious to see what meaning it will take from the question.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28

Did he ever answer this directly?

Ah yes, I'm not sure how I missed the last bit there.

Not looking good for Kalen Bray!

I will move us along at my next opportunity.

=)

Let's Go!

Pre-Initiative ◆'s
□ Auntie Wu @ RK vs Hand of Kugaptee (pending roll)
☑ Kazuki @ Hunt Prey vs Xin-Yue (I presume?)
☑ Lan @ Rolling Initiative w/ Diplomacy or Deception
☑ Sigurd @ RK vs Xin-Yue (Fail)
□ Vekka @ ??

Once everyone is spoken for, let's roll Initiative and Fight!

Yes. Hunt prey against Xin-Yue. I'm really busy with work and my mom is really ill. I'll get a post up soon..

Lan,
How about this:
free ◆ to Demoralize, and roll Perception initative
or
Roll Diplomacy for initative
?

@Kazuki: Oh no. Best wishes for your mom, you, and your whole family.

Pre-Initiative ◆'s
☑ Auntie Wu @ RK vs Hand of Kugaptee (Success)
☑ Kazuki @ Hunt Prey vs Xin-Yue
□ Lan @ see choices above
☑ Sigurd @ RK vs Xin-Yue (Fail)
□ Vekka @ ??

Initiatives
□ Auntie Wu w/ ??
□ Kazuki w/ ??
□ Lan w/ ??
☑ Sigurd w/ 25
□ Vekka w/ ??

Demoralize, then Perception for Initiative works for me.

Since I've already rolled, I'll leave it how you want to handle the rolls.

Option 1: nat 5 for Demoralize, roll Initiative
Option 2: reroll Demoralize, roll Initiative
Option 3: roll Demoralize, nat 5 for Initiative (since it was meant to be an initiative roll)

I'll just spoiler two rolls below so you can tell me which to apply without me seeing them.

Let's use new rolls.

I didn't look at them yet.

This was Vekka's pre-initiative:

4) You may take one non-hostile ◆ before we roll Initiative (hold off on rolling for Talking first!)

He draws an arcane rune in the air with his sword.

◆ Cast shield

Lan, your spoiler dice failed. Please roll anew in Gameplay!

That's the problem with secret rolls ...

Just want to point out, if both arrows crit Dark-Blue-Haired Meokn Neophyte, then he's pinned by both arrows.

Moving forward, if you post your Crit Spec, I will catch it!

(Also, double-pinned and dead, so, moot)

I did post crit spec. ;)

Sigurd,
I think the DC for Stupified 1 is 6.

Right??

Le gasp! I thought Stupefied was 6 + Stupefied Value.

Pink, Yellow, Green, and Light Blue were all full HP (copy/paste error) - fixed now

Well, shucks. I liked it better the way it was. ;)

Bot for Lan?

I must have clicked away the notification by mistake. Sorry!

Lan's post was # 4,000! Wow!

Oh, Lan's here. I was about to fireball a target rich environment in your name!

Ah, the boss has an 85% chance of nullifying my magic.

Halp

Hopefully it's just divine magic she can stop, in which case Primal Magic will help.

That...sucks.

Slow motion posting.

Didn't forget Lan's fireball hitting her and the Hand...

...trying to find time today...

But yes, divine spells only by text!

=)

It's a reaction, so presumably she can only do it once a turn. We'll get one through.

I, uh, just noticed I am skipping initiaitve order...

...fixing now!

Caught you in the edit Auntie Wu (-13) thx!

Ah, the boss has an 85% chance of nullifying my magic.

It's a reaction, so presumably she can only do it once a turn. We'll get one through.

I'm going to run her ability as she knows (1) when a spell is divine, and if so (2) it's rank and (3) the rank of the slot used to cast it, when using her counter.

...Before someone suggests "I cast Guidance THEN Heal" etc...

=)

RIP my "spam Shield spell" strategy...

I don't think he gets the extra action YET, as Quickened states "You gain 1 additional action at the start of your turn each round.".

Actions refresh at the start of your turn, yes.

I'll get a post up after work tonight. Around 8:00 p.m. Arizona time.

We having a St. Pat's gather - I am posting in games I'm holding up and that's it.

Tomorrow though!

For the combat tracker: Vekka hasted through round 12 (if it comes to that).

Stunned Condition says when I gain actions, I lose them and then Stunned ticks down.

So next round I get 2 actions.

To differentiate it from Slowed, Stunned seems to have another aspect (in addition to "subtract x actions when you regain actions").

That other aspect is "You can't Act" which seems to mean that you cannot use any reactions (↺), free actions (◇), and single actions (◆). This is extra punative if you acquire Stun during your turn, because you can't use your remaining actions, and then have to pay the tickdown later, or ride the duration out.

Remastered Stun

Does anyone else draw a different conclusion?

Contradiction to prior statement!

The Spring errata (Tuesday!) has clarified exactly this situation:

Page 446: The first paragraph of Gaining and Losing actions has been updated to make stunned with a value play better. Previously, it could be much stronger to stun a creature on its turn than on your own.

”Quickened, slowed, and stunned are the primary ways you can gain or lose actions. The rules for how this works appear on page 415. All these conditions alter how many actions you regain at the start of your turn. Gaining quickened or slowed on your turn doesn’t adjust your actions that turn. If you get stunned on your turn, first complete any action or activity you’re in the middle of. If the stunned condition has a value, lose remaining actions to reduce your stunned value rather than waiting until your next turn.”

Sigurd you are partially correct. Specifically, you lose your 3rd action from your interrupted round, but inso doing, lose Stunned, having already payed it off.

Which means you are still holding your sword and shield, but are no longer Stunned.

Calling for a bot for Kazuki!

Probably not too complicated like switch weapons, target, location...
