I'll add a bot instruction on Audra's behavior.

I've seen save rolling differently through various games.
I find that if it involves something vital, that would influence behavior of enemy NPCs taking the turn right after the targeted PC, depending on the result, the GM would be better off making the save.

Example: the caster in a block of enemies casts a potential deadly Disintegrate on 'Larry the fighter'.
Enemies continue their fight against 'Larry' if he survives, or switch to the party if he doesn't. To keep the pace going, i'd say that's a fair time to roll it for them.

If it's not potentially lethal and not immediate influencing pending enemy behavior, then 'Larry' can roll it himself.

Thank you Audra! A happy new year to you all!

@GM Spazmodeus : Getting back to your question about saves, I'm perfectly okay with you rolling every save and the like for me on your turn, and would prefer it over prerolling additional dice during my turn in case they're needed. I do think Audra's suggestion is a nice compromise, though.

As for botting Sara, I'll try to add a botting section to her profile, but it's not like she has many options for now.

Happy New Year!

I like Audra's compromise, but if I have to choose from the options given, I'd rather have the GM roll it.

I'll try to remember to get a bot section up for Joanna. Like Sara, her options are rather limited.

Happy New Year, everyone.

Also, I'll definitely set up a bot spoiler on my profile once we get more options, but at the moment, there's just not enough to make it worthwhile, in my opinion.

Happy New year, All!

Hope this year is full of happiness, goodness and general good fortune!

Hey guys,

As you'll notice, I've added a status tracker to my last combat post.
I've borrowed it from another campaign I've taken over.

I'll do my best to keep it updated with your hp and ac and conditions/buffs etc but let me know if I miss anything.

For the NPC stats, HP and AC will start with ??. As a monster/npc takes damage, it'll be recorded. If it's recorded with a ?, such as 20?, that means some sort of DR/resistance is involved and not all of the recorded damage got through. AC will get updated with the lowest die roll to hit.
conditions/de-buffs etc will get recorded as well.

Can I just say that I love how Bulvarius is avenging the death of a stray dog. Somehow that just fits a first level cavalier.

Hey, I wanted to give y'all a heads up. My maternal grandmother is not doing well. She's hardly eating or drinking. I don't know how long she may have left. I just wanted to let y'all know what was going on.

Also, Tuesday is when I start having to go up to Tuscaloosa, AL twice a week. If I don't have a new job by February, I'll need to do that commute daily, and that will mean I likely won't have time to post much.

I'll keep y'all up to date on what's going on. Looks like 2025 is going to be a rough start for me.

I hope that Joanna's verses are at least entertaining. I've been coming up with them as I go.

Lingering performance feat is a nice option. 2 more rounds of effect after stopping.

I think I'll pick that up. It'll help her get more use from her bardic performance anyway.

The idea I had for Joanna is to grow into being a paladin. It's why I started her off as a bard, and plan on doing some levels of fighter before going paladin the rest of the way. It's in no way an optimized character build, but I like it because it helps tell a story.

Besides, If and when she gets a hold of some mithral plate, she can move around without much of a stealth penalty. Just picture it. You think you're safe, then bam! Paladin is there asking you to please stop doing naughty things or she'll have to bonk you, really, really hard.

Hey all, an update on the situation with my nana.

They've stopped giving her medical care. At this point, all they can do is try their best to make her comfortable. I also found out that a great-uncle on my dad's side of the family passed away. If y'all could, please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

Thanks. We appreciate it.

Sorry gang, work's been occupying me a bit... post coming later.

Yeah, that's tough Adam. Hard when that sort of thing happens close together.

If it helps, I wasn't close to the great-uncle. They lived in Georgia and I have only seen that part of the family maybe a half-dozen times. Still, they are family, and he was my Papa Tim's brother, so even if I'm not personally affected by his death, I know that others are and felt that I should do what I can to offer what comfort I can, even if it's just asking others to keep them in their thoughts and prayers.

And work comes for us all, as do death and taxes. ;)

Thanks, BD. I appreciate it. I just got the news a few minutes ago that she passed away. It hurts, but it's a bittersweet pain. We miss her, but she no longer suffers.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.

GM, is there a reason to not let us all go? Seems like doing it this way slows things down.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing! So far, it's been a way for me to keep track of which round it is...but, yeah letting everyone go at the same time seems like the way to go. :)

Hey, just to continue the discussion about loot tracking here.

Let me know if anyone has a loot tracker they like, otherwise I can link one I've seen used elsewhere.

Kemras' 2nd level magical detection ability makes things nice and ease for identifying magical items, which can take up a significant amount of time, if its roleplayed out. So for our purposes, I'll hand wave the identification when Kemras has an opportunity to do his thing.

On another matter....wanted to check in that everyone is enjoying themselves. Pace of play is ok? My style is ok? My botting when necessary is ok?

I've got this one if you want to copy it and use it.

As for the other questions. I think you're doing well. I'm having fun and looking forward to some of the RP opportunities coming up.

Hey gang
I'm going to be heading out of town tomorrow until Monday. I won't have all of my resources available to me , so I won't move us along until I'm back.

"Kirk," (which Bulvarius used) for those who don't know North Germanic languages, is "church." It's not a big deal, I just found it entertaining to share.
