Hey, I'm alive! Thank you for being patient with me. It was a pretty strong one this year. For a change.
Seems I have a post which went missing, my apologies!
I'll get one back up tonight.
Tabil will pop into the room, Shoot at the Blue cultist, killing him, even through the crowd.
I don't believe this is a thing. The Inventor has Overdrive, which sounds like what you are describing. Investigator uses their INT mod instead of DEX/STR on attacks strikes using Devise a Stratagem, so perhaps that is where the confusion comes from?
I just add a d6 to my damage rolls done with stratagem. It scales later on, but it's just a d6 for now.
Tabil looks at how the demon is standing, and strikes the demon critically.
Yes, but it's +10 with DEX to hit. If stratagem die is used, it is +11, since it uses INT instead, so +1.
It evens out at level 5 when I plan on having both DEX and INT at +4.
Side note, I did not swap the mongrel and Tabil, but it's fine. I will take the hits since it was my bad. Switched them just now.
Do the rangers have melee options, or just bows?

Because we have foes in the way.
I just wanted to let you know that I was going to have Irabeth get out Radiance, move in, and strike.
But...
She crit.
Weakness to Holy
Crit specialization: it is now off guard.
She just killed it with a single blow.
Irabeth shouldn't be the focus of attention.

** spoiler omitted **
Irabeth took Ragathien's sword?
All for it if it kills demons I guess ...

Really though ... does Irabeth have Radiance?
Ragathien can cast if that's the case.
No, we found another earlier.

Got it! I had a feeling she was probably going to be using her own sword now that she has it back, awesome.
I will be completely offline this Friday through Monday.
Merlin, shield at the ready, tries to open the door. Unfortunately it is locked.
Happy to report my own real life instrusion: today is Day 3 of my return to work after almost a year and a half unemployed. If I'm a little delayed, bot me? "Ragathien makes a double-handed attack with Radiance, the fabled sword of Yariel"
I also think that it is unlikely that we could break Radiance trying to use it as a crowbar, especially in the hands of a righteous champion ;)
Congratulations on returning to work!
to be honest, that's cool to know
i love stuff like that
Grats on landing a job!
If you want to be weird about it, you can use the handguards as the short crowbar lever.
Depends on material, I suppose.

Kind of like opening soda with the handle of a drawer.
That is really good thinking.
Everyone ok? Anyone with Thievery can take over at any time...
I was afraid of double posting lol as it stands right now our options are:
-keep trying to bust it down, eventually someone will roll a 20
-based on the description it sounds like we can’t try again with lock picking because Tabil broke his picks off in the keyhole
-wait 10 minutes and Krakas will prepare and cast Knock giving him a chance to magically unlock the door.
-look for an alternate way around if possible, can do this while someone keeps battering the door down too.
Lock is jammed. Can't open it with picks, unfortunately. At least that's what I get from the text.
Curiously, the rules are silent on jamming a lock. It only says that the picks get the broken condition.
I will rule that you can clear the broken pick out of the lock (the lock is not jammed permamently). You could use another set of picks or use the broken pick set as a Shoddy item (with a -2 penalty)
I also had thought it jammed, hence not having Perla try. Can I roll to help?
Have not apologized for lagging here, so I am sorry about that too.
Anyone who wants to Discord me is always welcome to :)
Catching up now ...
I will be away until Wednesday.
I'll be going camping tonight, should be back Sunday evening. Likely won't be able to post until then!
Apologies, everyone. I was away for a few days. Last-minute decision, so I didn't update you. I'm back now.
Also, a heads up: I will be taking a vacation starting the 19th and returning on the 4th, so I will probably not be available throughout that period. If I am able to post, I will let you know, but I will only have that information once I am relocated.
If you need to reference anything for botting purposes, the pathbuilder link is in Tabil's post header and in his profile page.
Have fun!
Good news, everyone! I may be able to post depending on local network coverage. If you'd be waiting for me for an extended period of time, however, please bot me as reception may be iffy. Let's say 24-48 hrs?
Posts will also probably be... not very descriptive.
The Moderate Tome is a 9th level item. When looking up the original treasure in the text, it was a Manual of War. Which in PF1e is a 10th level item.
Welcome to the funhouse!
Must be a typo on my end.
It is the standard treat wounds roll + medicine investigator level, so just a +4, not 8.
I was hoping you had something I didn't recognize...

Here is how I understand Dispel Magic
There are two parts of the discussion.
Part 1: The DC of the check. The text is confusing, but, in this case the DC of the initial spell at their caster level is 18
Part 2: The actual check.
a) Spellcasting ability modifier.
Arc has +4
b) Spellcasting Proficiency bonus.
Arc has +6
c) Extra bonuses for Dispel Magic
Arc has none.
So, it is 1d20 + 4 + 6 vs DC 18
In this case it was nat-20 vs DC 18, so it was a critical success.
Arc cast it at Rank 2. So, that's the row we look at in the counteract rank chart. Even a Failure would still counteract a spell cast at Rank 1. A Success would counteract a spell cast at Rank 3 or less, and a Critical Success would counteract a spell cast at Rank 5 or less.
In this case, anything higher than a one on the die (a 2 would give a result of 12) which would normally be a failure, but succeeds in counteracting a 1st rank spell. An 8 to 17 on the die (ranging from a result of 18 to 27) would be a simple success, which would counteract a spell one rank higher than the Dispel. In this case, an 18 through 20 would be a crit-success on the roll, which would counteract a spell even three ranks higher than the Dispel.
I hope that makes it clearer.
that does make it a lot clearer actually, I appreciate you breaking it down for me.
The table was confusing but having you explain it now I understand it
We currently have five players who have not posted in three days.
I'm willing to keep going at this slower pace, but, I'd really prefer nearly daily posting.
Watching the thread, but I can't really do anything from where Tabil is located.
Agreed. PbP are really difficult to keep going if Players are not posting.

Well I am one of the three, and I am able to return now. Sorry to have been so scarce.
It's at the bottom of my campaign list, so I often just... downright forget to post. Will have a post up tomorrow.
GM, can I try to aid attacks in some manner? Like trying to hit something that shatters and sprays something at the minotaur? A nearby sconce, or something? I don't have a reaction and it seems like a good use of a 3rd action for me.
Hmmm.
I don't recall anything directly in the rules about it.
If you can do a strike (for instance with a Bow & Arrow), you can attempt to not do it to do direct damage, but, to Aid.
TL;DR:
I'm aware of the aid action, but I just wanted to double check with you on the topic of it being possible in this situation. I don't want to just go "I Aid by shooting at a brick that falls on the minotaur's head to distract him while character X attacks". Sometimes aid might not be possible, hence the confirmation.
