If this is a TPK can I use race points to make a fire giant character? :)

This is exciting!

Knowing that in one round I might get to add another entry to my list of TPKs. Or Magrim gets to have a heroic last shot. I’m on the edge of my seat.

Also…RIP Marcus. He died heroically.

FAQ
Can you pick up or manipulate an object in a square within your reach? Does this provoke an AoO? Does it provoke even if the foe can reach the object, but not your space?

The rules are a little hazy here, but to put it simply, you can affect objects and creatures within your reach. When picking up or manipulating objects, you generally provoke an attack of opportunity, but only against foes that can reach your space.

You do not provoke attacks of opportunity from foes that cannot reach you, no matter what action you are taking, even if it includes reaching into a threatened space. Although it might seem realistic to allow an attack in such a case, it would make the game far too complicated.

---------

By this, I believe that the giant picking up the sword provoked an AOO. In gameplay I rolled the AOO. If it drops the giant? Awesome. If not? At least it makes the giant easier for someone else to put down.

Does this provoke an attack of opportunity? If so: 1d20 + 24 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 24 + 1 + 2 = 38
Damage with DR: 1d8 + 25 + 2 + 2d6 - 10 ⇒ (6) + 25 + 2 + (5, 5) - 10 = 33
Cold: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Second round now that Aimaimon spent an abjuration point for 24 Temp HP. Therefore while hit for 21 damage, he took 0 wounds

Hit: 1d20 + 24 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 24 + 1 + 2 = 38

The Azer spat on the ground, after taking a blow to the face from the giant's fist. He stepped in, ignoring the dead hydra, and focused his ire on the giant. He was thankful that it's blade had fallen, for he knew how dangerous it was when properly armed.

Swift action for another point of abjuration. Just like last round, having 20 points of temp HP. Was that taken into consideration last round? Not quite sure

Quickness is up, for +1 attack, +1 to hit, +2 AC. Also have frost and giant and hydra bane on weapon. Not bothering with rolling fire damage

Attack giant if it passes its ref save. If it fails attack the hydra

Amaimon barely avoided the blade which came down with earth-shaking force. *BARELY.* If he hadn't stepped out of the way at the last second, he would have died. It was a truth that he was forced to acknowledge, even as he leapt to the attack. His weapon and his armor were enhanced with his runes, which he relied upon to tear into the giant. In but a few seconds, a flurry of blows were unleashed. Just as he had come a hair's breath from death, so too did the giant face a similar predicament.

Glad to hear it. In this post you said it pushed it up to 36. That one point of missed AC saved you, which I am relieved to hear.

Missed you by *that* much.

Also, remember that when Malgrim's cleric comes on line, he/she will have 5th level cleric spells which means raise dead.

Apparently this describes me…

Quickness is up, which gives +2 AC. So AC 35 -> 37

to hit longsword, power attack: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (7) + 28 = 35 Miss
to hit longsword, power attack, map: 1d20 + 28 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 28 + 2 = 43
to hit longsword, power attack, map: 1d20 + 28 - 10 ⇒ (18) + 28 - 10 = 36Miss
confirm longsword, power attack, map: 1d20 + 28 - 10 ⇒ (19) + 28 - 10 = 37

slashing damage, power attack: 3d6 + 34 ⇒ (5, 3, 5) + 34 = 47
slashing damage, power attack: 3d6 + 34 ⇒ (5, 2, 6) + 34 = 47, doubled to 94

So 47 damage taken? And I had 24 Temp HP, so 27 total?

Standard action for quickness. Aimaimon now has his legacy weapon and additional +1 Hit, +2 Ref/AC, +1 Attack, 12 rounds. Pushes AC up to 36. As he can't full attack this round anyways, might as well finish buffing.

Swift action for "Mind Barrier (Sp) As a swift action, you can expend 1 point of mental focus to create a shield of mental energy around you that protects you from harm. The shield prevents a total of 2 points of damage per occultist level you possess. It lasts until the start of your next turn or until exhausted." Therefore until the next round, he further has 24 temp HP as well

Staring up at the giant and the hydra which loomed over him, the Azur calmly activated yet another rune. That he seemed so calm could be placed either upon his race's famed stoicism, or his own bravery. Or perhaps foolishness, given how dire the situation must have looked. Regardless, he could do little but trust in his craft to hold.

Will Save: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29
Legacy Weapon adds +3 enchantment to weapon. Choosing Hydra Bane, Frost and Giant Bane. Perfect for keeping it from regenerating, and if it goes down quickly can move on to the giant

Forewarned with knowledge about how to slay the hydra, Amaimon advanced. He was certain that the beat would approach, and he was ready for it. He needed to get to grips with it so that he could hack its way through it and reach the giant beyond.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21

Ignan

"Greetings. I am Amaimom Emberheart, former servant of Jharvhul. For sixty six years I labored under the Lord, and have now completed this burden. My companions and I are free under the latter of the law, and seek but safe passage through these halls." His voice rang out, clearly and full of confidence. "We would ask your name, your purpose, and whether our request is reasonable to you."

Yes, will get a post up tomorrow morning

Amaimon did just that. ”Sit.” He commanded in Ignan, calling out to it. He decided that if they were going to get its attention, then it did not hurt to see if it was trained.

Not updating sheet yet. But for when it comes....

Lvl 13
HP: 1d8 ⇒ 5
* HP: 5 (class) + 4 (con) + 1 (FCB) = +10 (147 total)
* Saves: None
* BaB: +1 (Trappings of the Warrior)
* Skills: +10 (usual 10)
* Mental Focus +1
* Spirit Warrior: +1 use

* Focus Power
- Loci Sentry (Sp) As a standard action, you can expend 1 point of mental focus to set a ward about an area. This area has a maximum radius of 10 feet + 5 feet per occultist level you possess. Whenever a creature enters the area, a sentry manifested by your psyche appears and strikes out at the intruder. The affected creature must succeed at a Will save or be dazed for 1 round. You are immediately aware of the sentry’s activation. The sentry lasts for up to 1 hour per occultist level you possess, or until triggered. When you set the sentry, you can set any number of specific creatures to be immune to the sentry and thus avoid triggering it.

* Lvl 5 spells (2x slots)
- Abjuration (greater dispel magic)
- Transmutation (overland flight) - lasts 13 hours, gives 30ft fly speed and +6 fly skill

-----------------

Not the hardest level for when it comes to leveling up. Focus power is situational...but useful for when the party needs to rest. It's a nice way to spend leftover focus power at the end of the day. The biggest benefit here is overland flight. No longer need to burn focus points for flying unless the extra speed is truly required. And with 2 spell slots, if it runs out can always recast it.

”I was willing to talk.” The Azer said, deadpanned. Whether this passed for humor, or whether it was an approach, was impossible to say due to the complete lack of facial expression, change in voice, or body language.

Leveling up?

<head perks up>

The Azur stood as still as a statute, as he considered Malgrim's words. There seemed to be very few good options here, especially if they wished to avoid needless combat. He looked over at the bard, deferring to his decisions. He knew not how long the hydra could be held, and did not wish to put pressure on the man to do what was beyond his ability.

The Azur looked at the bard intensely. The man was judged. And he was found worthy. With the slightest nod of the head to signal his approval, he prepared to follow the others.

When it comes time to quietly sneak across, he will use flight on himself for a transmutation point. That way his heavy armor and the like won't have any chance of waking the beast

The Azer watched and waited, to see how his companions handled the beast. He knew the limits of his own abilities, and was eager to see what they could accomplish.

K Arcana asking what stops regeneration: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (1) + 21 = 22

Are there specific ways to kill it quickly given its regeneration? How likely are they to attack on sight, or do they attack only when hungry/provoked?

K Planes?: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (8) + 21 = 29

The Azer nodded, not wasting any words on pleasantries. Even his movements were reserved, with his body language moving as little as possible while still conveying his acknowledgement. He walked over to the room and looked inside, to see if he could identify the creature.

Now, are you searching room E8, or more than that? E8 takes 100 minutes to search eliminating all of your enchantments. Bu the hole he was lurking by you find a huge crate with something inside of it that is moving. Actually a number of somethings speaking in Ingnan in very pissed off sounding voices. Oh, and the metal crate is HOT. Through the kill holes you see some stairs going down from D1 to C23.

Trusting in his own ability to handle heat, Aimaimon moved over to the create, curious to see what was inside.

"We are here, and the danger has passed." Aimaimon said. "I would explore these rooms fully." Time had little meaning to the Azer, for the march of hours and years was the same to him.

Correct, AC37

The violence that was occurring struck Aimaimon as being completely unnecessary. But there was no point crying over spilled blood. The fight was here, and that was all there was to it.

The last rolls were much better! Ah well, that is what happens for getting confused

Ah! My apologies. With that being the case, I will instead do this: Quickness (Sp) As a standard action, you can expend 1 point of mental focus to grant supernatural quickness and reflexes to yourself or a willing living creature you touch. This functions as haste, but the bonus to AC and on Reflex saving throws increases to +2. This effect lasts for 1 round per occultist level you possess. You must be at least 5th level to select this focus power.

With flight up, that is a 90ft move speed. It gets Aimamon 90ft forward to the giant, so a 5ft step next round will allow him to full attack

Without a word, the Azur moved to join the conflict. It was not a fight that he wished, but it was one that the Giant had chosen.

"Not ideal." Aimaimon said. "Do we have access to any magic that would assist in projecting our voices? Or teleportation?"

Aimamon nodded. "Yes, let us finish with this area first. Especially as we do not know if wandering too far will allow the specter to attack us once more."

Marcus can tell that it is some sort of key. He knows that there was a big kerfluffle that caused the curs on this place around something called the impossible Eye, a reputed artifact, but the aura on this orb is not that intense. While he is examining it, the image reappears and hands out another clue.

“Seek the Impossible Eye between city and sea, where portals of brass guard respite prized. Look above the gilded cataracts.”

K Religion: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (2) + 21 = 23

Amaimon sat in quiet contemplation, seeing what information he could think of this "impossible eye and the "gilded cataracts."

Perception: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (9) + 16 = 25
K Religion: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (20) + 21 = 41

"This temple is dedicated to Ymeri, Queen of the Inferno. The door can only be opened via an offering of spilt blood, or by magical power." The Azur stated, as he walked over to the secret door and tapped it, showing it to the others. If he felt any awe or trepidation, it was not shown. "I would advise that one whose skin is not made of brass should make the offering. Do not cut your palm, for it makes the holding of weapons less optimal." He added the last part in, knowing how foolish mortals could be. They had odd romantic notions of how blood offerings would be made.

The Azer nodded. Quietly, he went about casting alarm on all visible entrances. That way, should any unwanted visitors slip in he would be prepared.

”I shall sleep for two hours.” He intoned. ”And then I shall stand watch.”

K Religion: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (18) + 21 = 39

The weight of years had imparted much knowledge to the Azer. It was not because he was a scholar, or that he had a natural ability. No, it was a byproduct of an ordered and curious mind, coupled with the removal of the limitation of time.

Seeing the issue, he quietly thought about what might be the cause of the curse and how it could be overcome.

Yes please

If there was one thing that any Azer enjoyed, it was working. And Amaimon was no different in that regard. He went about his task with a quiet calm and contentment, moving with the swiftness and purpose that came from countless years of experience.

And it is nice to see that others are reading and enjoying this along with us. :)

Amaimon, ever deliberate, studied the heavy brass doors before him. This was a problem, as the ghostly dwarf beyond was certain to attract unwanted attention. Even worse, the doors themselves were no ordinary barriers: they pulsed faintly, alive with the power flowing within. Yet Amaimon’s mind, honed by countless years in his craft, began to trace a solution.

He could not simply bar them from his side. The doors swung inward into the ghost’s room…he knew that he could not just approach, lest his life force would be sucked away. But the doors were far too heavy for petty Cantrips.

An idea hit him. It was a question of leverage. If he had a chain, looped over a hook, anchored at a precise angle to the frame…attach a small weight to hang from the other end, if balanced just right…then a simple Mage Hand could guide the chain. Then it would just need to release the weight, and send lever into motion…

Step 1: Anchor a lever to the door frame on Amaimon’s side.
Step 2: Attach the counterweight (anything enough to force the lever which in turns moves the door) on the lever arm inside Amaimon’s room.
Step 3: Use Mage Hand as the trigger.
Step 4: Profit? Between his smith tools and what he can find, is this all feasible? While he is the master craftsman and not me, I think this might work…

Can mage hand be used to close the doors?

Aimaimon did not look at the spectral dwarf. He saw no reason to gloat, to apologize, or to attack. His mind was focused on the here and now, as well as what had to be done. "We move forward." He said, definitively, as he proceeded with opening the door.

"We must not waste time. Immediately search for a way to banish the spirit." Aimamon intoned to his companions. There was no time, nor need, for niceties. They had to immediately banish the spirit, lest what littler remained of their health be whittled down.

Every point is like a spell slot. Every power is like a spell.

The base power allows activation as a swift action for temporary hit points (1 point)
The base power allows activation as an immediate action as well (2 points)

This is my first time using an occultist at this level. It’s fascinating to me at how useless their actual spells feel. But their focus points and powers? It defines the class.

He was alive. For now. His hobgoblin compatriot had seen to that. With the inevitability of a falling boulder, Amaimon's hammer continued to rise and fall. Seeing an opportunity to strike the charmed wolf, he glanced over at Marcus, catching his eye...

AOO if Marcus indicates that he is free to attack it, be it by nodding his head or the like: 1d20 + 24 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 24 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 48

Always ready. Alright waiting until all enemies are down but I bow down to your tactical decisions on this. :)

Amaimon (-120/137 HP + 20 temp HP;

Should be -100, as I spent 2 abjuration points as an immediate action to negate 20 damage and as a swift action another 1 abjuration point to add 20 temp HP going forward.

—-

Malgrim I think it’s best if you blast the giants. A dead giant can’t attack, and they can dish out more damage than we can heal.

I’ll second this. I know what it’s like to play something you don’t enjoy (it’s why I gravitate so hard towards martials). It can be frustrating when the mechanics just don’t vibe.

Would Marcus work better for you if he were something like a mesmerist? They are an entire class built around mind shenanigans. That would likely work better than relying on low level charm spells.

2 points to use this as an immediate action. Depletes it to zero. Swift action bring it back up, leaving him with 1 abjuration point. 20 points shield up now. 100/137.

Base Focus Power: All occultists who learn to use abjuration implements gain the following focus power. Mind Barrier (Sp) As a swift action, you can expend 1 point of mental focus to create a shield of mental energy around you that protects you from harm. The shield prevents a total of 2 points of damage per occultist level you possess. It lasts until the start of your next turn or until exhausted. For example, if you are 5th level, the mind barrier protects you from 10 points of damage; if you are hit by an attack that would deal 12 points of damage, the mind barrier is exhausted and you take 2 points of damage. You can activate this ability as an immediate action, but doing so costs 2 points of mental focus instead of 1.

The Azer was on his last legs. He did not panic, as he saw no point in doing so. Rather, he threw up every defense that he could, warding himself from the oversized blades that rained down upon him. Knowing that death was upon him, Aimaimon attacked with every ounce of strength that he had. For if he were to die, then he would at least go with the satisfaction of knowing that he had given it his all.

Size was useful, to be sure. But powerful enchantments more than equalized the equation. Again and again the Azer attacked, patiently whittling down the larger foes.

Stepping forth, Amaimon met the giants, matching strength with strength. His hammer flashed out, time and time again, hitting with all of the force that he could put behind it. Both his own strength of arms, as well as his arcane power, fueled his efforts. He knew that they were on a time limit, as the ghost would return. The giants had to be felled quickly.

Not at my computer arm. But will move to Magrim and can resist energy (fire) on his comrade

”This is not optimal. We need to put the ghost to rest with all haste.” The Azer wanted to kick himself for wasting time stating the obvious. It was unlike him to be so wasteful with words. Evidence, perhaps, of the stress they were under. He was more helpful, though, in his actions as he rushed over to Magrim to help hold the line.
