Is there a level preference? I have a 9 and an 11.

I don't know at the moment. What are everyone's levels?

The only one I have in a 9-12 is a level 10.

Signed up I have a 9,9 and a 10. Looks like we go low.

Alright I'll get my 9 ready tomorrow.

Got a few things to finish up but pretty much ready. I hadn't touched this character in a while. Turns out it was level 10.

Is this game happening?

It's happening. I'll start it today.

I'm formulating my post. But as I do, one thing keeps nagging me. 12 chairs around an octagonal table...trying to envision that drives me a little crazy.

Secondly, correct me if my suppositions are inaccurate, but a huge sized creature's chair seat is likely around 10x10 maybe a little less at 9x9 or 8x8 or some mix between. The table top is 11 up from floor, and most tables end up standing around 1/2 to 3/5 the height of the user's. My guess the is that seated eye height would be about 15, give it take 1. So, I'm thinking if my 6ish ft character sits on a chair back, that should put him about seated eye height to the huge giants, right?

Lol, I misread. The seat is 8 wide. So guesstimation correct. And table top is 13 up. That said, I think I'm still solid in my theory that sitting on chair back will be around seated eye level.

This is not a replay for me. For some reason, I thought this was a different scenario.

Taking off my player hat and putting on my VO hat:

I just noticed that we are playing with only 3 players. Since the game is too high level for pregens, the rules allow that, but only if every player explicitly agrees to play in hard mode. That didn't happen here, so we need to pause for a minute to talk about what everyone wants to do.

Three? Oh dear. Should I try to recruit someone else?

I'm fine with it.

I mean, the thing that's sticking out to me is that we seem to be going really slowly. I don't know if we had another player to help distribute moving the story forward?

I think maybe its better to call it.

It's unfortunate, but I think I agree with Domenkale. I'm definitely not a fan of hard mode, and would have not participated in a hard mode scenario if the question had been asked at the beginning.

Heya!

4th player popping in.

Nice, and thank you. Add yourself to Recruitment please and dot into Gameplay.

Any suggestions as to spells for spellgems? I don't think I've done underwater combat with a caster in SF.

I already have life bubble.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I mean combat spells. Twich has never used a weapon, although she carries them. Fire spells might not work underwater is the sort of concern I have.

Arcing Surge and Etheric Shards are the first that come to mind.

I usually go for force type spells. Sonic damage might also be worth it.

Ready to move on

Do we want to take the time now, or clear the place first?

Happy either way, may as wlel clear as we go.

I think we should search it now.

Sounds good.

Sorry, everyone, but I messed up my finger and typing is very painful. Please bot me for a day or two.

These rolls are rough

blinky has had some good ones.

True

Apologies all. I had a very full weekend. I will get a part up tomorrow.

Here is a link to chase rules.

Summary:
average DC is 21
Higher DC is 28
Vehicle imparts a -1 to piloting

Pon has skill focus in piloting and can therefore take 10 for a 32.

I mean, taking 10 is for cowards, but a +22 is better than Domakale has.

My gunnery would be +12, or +10 after -2 from the vehicle.

I am happy to cede to the group's preference.

Pon, you are 100% up :p

Please bot me if needed. Slow recovery from an eye infection.
