I have a few things to mention, too:
- Uncanny Dodge as a supernatural ability
- a hex nail, should anyone/anything try to bewitch me
- deathwatch at will; assume I always keep it active.
RawkNRole has tremorsense 60 feet always active and this can come up a lot when creatures are not always visible.
^RawkNRole does not carry any equipment due to the fact that he often uses his Earth Glide ability. It is not clear if he would be able to glide and carry equipment with him. I can always have Rogarch carry the dust if you like as they share a common language. :)
|
When the creature burrows, it can pass through stone, dirt, or almost any other nonmetal earth as easily as a fish swims through water. If protected against fire damage, it can even glide through lava. Its burrowing leaves behind no tunnel or hole, nor does it create any ripple or other sign of its presence.
I didn't find any mention of Earth Glide or Burrow not being able to carry equipments. It does make analogy to swimming, which I believe also does not mention being able to carry equipment. I think this is something that the GM can answer for us.
Either way, I hope we can all agree that using the Dust in combat by the frontliner themselves is extremely action-inefficient, and also potentially dangerous, that's why I think the familiar is best suited for this job.
Is the door Valais pointing the same east door Wither noticed?

You know how there's a curse on these forums that turns you into a...rhymes-with-"surf"...whenever you say that word?
I noticed my last post was this character's 404th, and I was thinking they should add one wherein any time you make your 404th post, it shoehorns in an automatic Stealth roll (maybe with a +4 bonus!).

Hi, everyone, I'm back, although it's possible I may be a little slow to post since I'm not yet at 100%. I will do my best to post daily; please bot me if I don't and am holding things up.
I'll be trying to read up on everything I've missed, but that may take a while. I should still be able to post while doing that.

@DM: This is Ekanta's first adventure as a 5th-level character, and I doubt a single point would've made any difference in any skill check he's made thus far, so if I may, I'd like to abacus this level's skill points around a little bit.
[dice=I'll bet this is important - folio reroll!]1d20+2
[dice=Wisdom check]1d20+2
Still hoping for yeas-or-nays on these two.

The GM can't give you permission to ignore campaign rules. Once the adventure starts, you can't change a character like that.

I ask because I have generally seen it permitted for instances in which the requested alteration(s) would not have impacted anything that had already transpired in the adventure; Ekanta's not used too many of his skills thus far (a few Perception rolls, and one Sense Motive, so it would also be reasonable interpretation to say I could adjust skill points I'd allocated anywhere but those two).
You are clear I would only wish to adjust this newly-reached level's skill-points, right?

Once a game has started, the character can't be changed. I've seen a few GMs make a tiny bit of an exception if the first encounter just started, because they want to be fair if the asynchronous nature of PbP is why the change wasn't made earlier, but I have never seen a GM ignore campaign rules enough to allow changes to be made when we are deeply into a game. Once you start the game, unless your character is level 1, you're going to have to use retraining to change skill points, and that retraining can only be used between games.

We have 3 weeks left for the Gameday XIII, and we're only at our first combat. My guesses are we still have quite a lot of content to go through for this scenario. Out of combat, I can do null posting to keep us forward, but there's not much I can do once we're in initiative order and I've completed my turn.
I had the unpleasant experience of running out of time in the convention back in Outpost VI, and the GM decided that we were too ill-prepared to handle the final encounter and call it a mission failure
This time we had a well-rounded, competent teams with 6 players. I very much would like to finish this scenario in time, so that we don't fail the mission for faults not of our owns.
I would like to ask the GM to consider taking an more active role in running our game. Looking at our campaign in October, the GM posted in:
Week 1: Oct 1, Oct 4, Oct 6
Week 2: Oct 8, Oct 12, Oct 13
Week 3: Oct 16, Oct 20
Week 4: Oct 21, Oct 22, Oct 23
Which average out to be 3 posts per week, below the usual "one post per day" expectation of PbP games. If we continue with this slow pace we might be able to finish 1 more small combat but probably not enough to finish 50% of the scenario's content.

Arxoias, your post comes across as a bit more hostile than I think you meant.
First, there is no such thing as a usual expectation of how often to post for play by post games. Posting expectations are what the GM declares at the beginning of the game. Many GMs choose one post per day, or one post per day except one post for the weekend, but that is in no way a standardized expectation. We (the PbP VO team) do encourage that for convention games one of these posting frequencies is a very good idea for GMs to choose, but don't require it.
I'm sorry to hear that you had a GM choose to ignore the rules in such a way because a game is going long. Every convention a few games go past the end of the convention. The instructions that we as convention organizers send out are that the GM should report the game, and then finish it. There is nothing anywhere in the rules that lets a GM declare that you failed a fight and so take away rewards. Let me be clear here... NOT FINISHING IN TIME CANNOT CHANGE PLAYER REWARDS.

I am very sorry if my post comes off hostile to anyone. That was not my intention at all. I was just really worried that, under erroneous assumption, we might failed the mission because the game go overtime.
Thank you for clarifying, Redelia. That is very comforting to know that such incident is, well, only an incident and not the norm.
Sorry for the disappearance and thank you GM for botting Wither. I'm not saying it's others' fault but I tend to forget about the game after some days without new posts. I will try to keep a reminder now on.
Wither, if you happen to have a spare shillelagh spell (or somehow come into one later), my staff and I'd be happy to take it!
Oops… I’ll be sure to give it to you the next combat.

Hmm, if this is so: Another character of mine was in a game not too long ago that was cancelled on short notice because (I guess) our DM disappeared. We did get Chronicles, but the wealth payout (not XP or Prestige, mind you) was SEVERELY reduced. Was that, then, an error (or at least avoidable)?
|
|
That was not running out of time, that was choosing not to finish the adventure. When the GM left, most of the players stated they did not want to continue with a different GM. In that case, reduced rewards is the appropriate result.
What I am dealing with in the quote above is a game not reaching the end by an event end date.

Incidentally, Wither, your character-sheet does not seem to reference your patron Power (I realize Pathfinder Druids do not strictly require one).
I see Plague subdomain limits you to some...very interesting choices.

Where are Valais and Monster Du Jour?
Also: SHOOT. Keep your slot, Wither, it seems you *can't* help me with shillelagh.
Now, if you'd wanted to change that action into a cure X wounds, that would've been/would be much appreciated....
That in mind, DM, I do have some shillelagh oils of my own; would you be willing to retcon that I applied one on the way here?

Patron power? I don't see it in druid's class ability.

I also forgot it only affects my weapon. Well, GM, can I replace the action with CLW?

Whoopsie-daisy! I meant "Power" as in broader (PLANESCAPE-and-Diane Duane-preferred!) term for "deity".
@Rogarch: It occurs to me I could now 5-foot step over to the corner to give you room (Rawk could do likewise in the complementary direction); would you like me to?

Yes go ahead
