Sorry folks, this game wasn’t really working for me. @djdust: I think you should increase the effects of stress to 1/round for things like undead etc, to signify that these things are super…freaky and weird. With the caveat that once no longer extant the stress points lost recover fairly quickly, possibly a number of points per round.
With that decided, summoner and eidolon retrace their steps and make their way out of the dungeon.
”Time to go?” the fetchling asks his eidolon.
Baskah looks at Mesce.
Ummm...did Thoxl just spout rule mechanics in character?!? Regardless, I'm nowhere near the door, so can't interact with it. Also, given Summoners and Eidolon have this weird "shared action economy" compression madness I'm not sure what we could do...very well...
mesce peers at the shambling odious beings... ◆ Recall Knowledge, Religion
Baskah is well back at the end of the line....through the bobbing and weaving of Mesce and Sarmenti's heads, and over the top of Gobbo's bonce, the fleshwarp sees....undead! he knows just how to deal with the undead! "Mesce! What are those things....exactly?" he cries out to the undead servitor, before blasting life-energy at the nearest...thing. ◆ Act Together ◆◆ Vitality Lash at closest zombie.
A bit busy, will get to this as I can…
Baskah grimaces as Thoxl treats the fleshwarp’s wounds. Mesce sighs heavily, the shared bond between summoner and eidolon causing the undead minon’s clawed rents also to close. Baskh nods to the Iruxi in wordless thanks. Master and minion follow Sarmenti’s lead…
Baskah yells loudly in a mix of pain and anger, trying very hard to master the situation. ”Tepshk zik: Hai ket vul; ger gezh: bresk go blukt terr! Honored wall, Let them go; I repeat: we are friends to this place!” ◆ ◆ Act Together ◆ Diplomacy use
Baskah yowls as he feels the squeeze put on Mesce. Screaming out, Baskah calls to the creature in common and Necril to release his allies. ◆ ◆ Act Together ◆ Diplomacy ”Hai ket vul; bresk go blukt terr! Let them go, we are friends to this place”
Act Together: Act Together ◆◆ (Summoner, Tandem) Frequency once per round You and your eidolon act as one. Either you or your eidolon takes an action or activity using the same number of actions as Act Together, and the other takes a single action. For example, if you spent 2 actions to Act Together, you could cast burning hands (2 actions) and your eidolon could Strike (1 action), or your eidolon could use its Breath Weapon (2 actions) and you could Stride (1 action).
Thanks for the heads up djdust
Baskah sighs. ”C’mon Mesce. Let’s follow them”
@djdust - I haven’t seen Ira Kroll/Thoxl post in gameplay…I’m in a couple of games with them and they are oosting there, maybe they don’t know this is on…?
I looked at the arrays for all the Eidolons, and they all had a suspiciously similar AC bonus range, and similar….almost everything. Sure their abilities are differentiated, and their traditions, but the original 1e eidolon was so incredibly wide open in what you could make with Evolution points and really leaned in on the wyrd magic. The current iteration just seems…forced into boxes. Even the Boost Eidolon and Evolution Surge evolution feats feel anemic. And for some reason, out of the blue there is a weird Glider form evolution feat to help your eidolon…float to the ground. Like, of all the things, why that….singular….specific evolution??? But, I’m sure it all works… Don’t mind me, just bemoaning the past…
Nope. You are completely missing my point. And that’s entirely where the “beauty” doesn’t lay. I am entirely talking about mechanics. I want my character to be able to give their eidolon a weapon, that has properties, like a longspear’s Reach, or a Harpoon’s Tethered, or a longbow’s range. But that obviously hampers or interferes with the “tight math” of PF2. I get that Eidolon’s have been completely changed from 1e, to 1e Unchained, to 2e. And I find the changes along that edition path have essentially followed a devoluted path, to use a pun. The “template” style Eidolons of Unchained were a majorly constraining design path that seems to only have been completed in 2e. Not a fan of the cookie cutter approach, but completely understand that unifying them under magic traditions etc is all part and parcel of the 2e design. Yep, you can reflavor anything. Such is the way. But it isn’t exactly fulfilling. And PF2’s “there’s a feat for that” is…stultifying.
”Naii avite heck clungn!” Baskah asserts somewhat angrily back in the dark tongue. He turns to Gobbs. ”My apologies, revered one. My friend asks that you not burn any more inanimate things…” Necril: ”Hush intemperate and foolish one!”
”Sackless” intones Baskah, shouldering his pack to say “I have a back, a backpack, but no sack”. Baskah bends to pick up the manacles and the gem. ”Anyone particularly need manacles? The gem we keep for party funds.”
That is…not helpful…;p I want to be able to give my eidolon a longspear with reach or a handaxe and buckler or a longbow…or harpoon…mmmm….harpoon. Harpoons are fun.
Baskah favors the goblin with a frown until her realises the short being is being…nice. Holding an averring hand out to keep Mesce from looming in protectively. ”No…never here before.”
Here is the statblock for Baskah: Baskah, Fleshwarp Summoner:
Baskah Summoner 1 N Medium Fleshwarp (Cataphract) Fleshwarp Humanoid Perception +3; Low-Light Vision Languages None selected Skills Acrobatics +0, Athletics +4, Deception +7, Diplomacy +7, Intimidation +7, Lore: Undead Eidolon +4, Occultism +4, Performance +7, Religion +3, Survival +3 Str +1, Dex +0, Con +3, Int +1, Wis +0, Cha +4 Items Studded Leather, Backpack, Bedroll, Chalk (10), Flint and Steel, Rope, Rations (2), Torch (5), Waterskin, Soap, Caltrops, Steel Shield (Hardness 5, HP 20, BT 10)
Melee Longspear +4 (Reach), Damage 1d8+1 P
Ranged Javelin (x3) +3 (Thrown), Damage 1d6+1 P Manifest Eidolon ◆◆◆ (Concentrate, Conjuration, Manipulate, Summoner, Teleportation) Your eidolon appears in an open space adjacent to you, and can then take a single action. If your eidolon was already manifested, you unmanifest it instead. The conduit that allows your eidolon to manifest is also a tether between you. Your eidolon must remain within 100 feet of you at all times and can’t willingly go beyond that limit. If forced beyond this distance, or if you are reduced to 0 Hit Points, your eidolon’s physical form dissolves: your eidolon unmanifests, and you need to use Manifest Eidolon to manifest it again. Special This activity has the trait matching your eidolon’s tradition (arcane, divine, occult, or primal). Act Together ◆◆ (Summoner, Tandem) Frequency once per round You and your eidolon act as one. Either you or your eidolon takes an action or activity using the same number of actions as Act Together, and the other takes a single action. For example, if you spent 2 actions to Act Together, you could cast burning hands (2 actions) and your eidolon could Strike (1 action), or your eidolon could use its Breath Weapon (2 actions) and you could Stride (1 action). This lets you each use separate exploration activities like Avoid Notice as you travel (Core Rulebook 496). Share Senses ◆ (Concentrate, Divination, Scrying, Summoner) Requirements Your eidolon is manifested. You project your senses into your eidolon, allowing you to perceive through it. When you do, you lose all sensory information from your own body, but can sense through your eidolon’s body for up to 1 minute. You can Dismiss this effect. Special This action has the trait matching your eidolon’s tradition (arcane, divine, occult, or primal). Your eidolon can also use this ability. When it does, it projects its senses into your body. Divine Known Spells DC 17, attack +7; 1st Heal, Bless (1 slots); Cantrips Ancient Dust, Daze, Detect Magic, Vitality Lash, Prestidigitation
Additional Feats: Cataphract Fleshwarp, Dubious Knowledge, Expanded Senses, Intimidating Glare, Startling Appearance
Just getting profile together (and eidolon)...
