It has been a while since I played a trap springger. Looking at the write up for Disable Device:

Try Again: Varies. You can retry checks made to disable traps if you miss the check by 4 or less. You can retry checks made to open locks.

Can I take 10 since there are no threats nor is it trapped?

Forgive another holdup, but I need another reality-check:

Is there a reason Red is still on the map?

How wide is their electrical-discharge radius? I was surprised when you said I was still in range of Red's.

It appears to me there are only two ways from the room Garsita and I are in to the room where Cyan is, and both would prevent my 20-foot speed and I from being able to get a shot in this round; is that correct? If so, of course, I'll just double-move and that's that (but not so far as to end up in Cyan's electro-radius, per above).

Also...:

Because I forgot to move it off probably - the electrical discharge is a 10ft radius sphere - and yes - there are only two ways out - the north door and the secret door in the south.

Combat maneuvers are a weaker spot of mine (since the system didn't exist as such in 3.5), so I want to make sure I'm calculating my CMB for those Pushing Blasts correctly:

Base BAB (+3)
+
size penalty (-1)
+
Constitution bonus (+4)
+
Elemental Overflow (+1)
+
Point-Blank Shot (+1)
=
+8

Right?

I think I actually shortchanged myself on that previous/first shot.

I'll try filling you in, then:

Elemental Overflow presently grants me +1 to attack rolls, and that's all that matters for purposes of this inquiry.

My Infusions let me substitute Constitution for Strength.

That in mind, then does the rest all check out? Or might I be leaving anything out?

I've definitely heard worse reasons for skipping out; whatever you and yours have going on, Mazel Tov!

In the meantime, I am digging the 'extra-not-human' makeup of this party - could be much more extreme, though of course.

I'd love the opportunity to assemble a party that's just as far-from-human as possible: Not just 'demihumans', but nothing but, like, plantfolk and Dhampirs and obvious Outsiders and maybe an Android and/or reptilian...!

Trippy!

Tempting as Crossblooded Sorcerers may be, personally I find the "reduced spells KNOWN" hindrance to be too much, especially since you're even later to get your next level of spells than Sorcerers already are (now, if they got both Bloodline Spells instead of just getting to pick one, that might make up for it, they'd be getting them later anyway).

ANYWAY:

DM, what kind of obstacle are we looking at in that...engine-y thing between us and Klarkosh? Would I be taking a penalty if I tried to take a shot at him from the spot I've indicated?

Assuming you keep this sort of pace up and find the way out - sure. You just nearly eliminated the level boss in one round before he had a chance to act.

I'm also thinking of doing Level 4 after this one.

Wouldn't Level 4 be going...backwards?
I've done everything that built up to this (save level 1 because she was already TOO high-level when that group started, so I did that with an alt).

Also, recall I'm trying to do the "Land-Grab" thing, so don't forget whenever it comes time for that.

I'd LOVE to continue downward, but I wouldn't be opposed to re-doing an earlier one with an alt.

How mildly weird, the other game I'm in right now just coughed up a Belt of Mighty Constitution +2 as well!

In this case, I've already got one (izz very niiice).

As for the Cloak, I don't have one, everyone at this "table" has pretty good saving throws...but although my other two are through the roof, I do appear to have the one negative saving throw modifier.
I'll take it if there are no more insistent claimants.

I'll also hold onto the potion, only if nobody else wants to; Garsita either badly needs to update her quick-stats, or is Candidate #1 for the potion.

- 4th level
Dark Lord
