Bently watches the other party disappear beneath the glassy surface of the water and walks up to the water himself. He kneels down and scoops up some water in one hand and let's the water drop back into the water. He stares off quietly into the woods on the other side of the pond and finally takes a deep breath turns around and faces the party.

I think I should go too... This just isn't what I was expecting. The infighting and hurting of other people from Terrace for no reason just makes no sense to me. I apologize if I hurt your feelings and hope that if we ever encounter each other again it will be on good terms. At the very least you know I am the sort who would rather not hurt you given a choice.

Bently gives a little wave and turns around and walks into the water.

Bently remains uncharacteristically quiet... during the discussions with the smith and on the way to the exit.

Bently rubs the side of his face where it is already turning red. He looks at Shiela with a look of Pity on his face....

I don't know what has happened to you... Shiela was it. But I Pity you... Because the Abyss has obviously hurt you very much. Whatever it has done it has made you weaker. Oh look how strong you are knocking the little Halfling around. It is a weak person who hurts a thing because they do not understand it or because it challenges their sense of understanding. But if people act like monsters and treat each other like they are less than people then WE all become monsters. What point is there to any of this if we just act like animals taking from one another at every chance. If people worked together to solve the Abyss instead of competing with each other than the Abyss would have been solved long ago.

Bently stands up and approaches the rogue.

You think I'm Weak because I care about people. Because I think humanoid life has value. Because even though I did not know your friends I think they deserved to be treated as people and not just as pawns to be taken off the board by another piece... Because I would stand up and say when I think things are wrong... I tell you it takes strength to look what you fear in the eye and extend a hand of friendship knowing that at any time you could be attacked just for being nice.

Bently raises a hand in friendship to shake the hand that matches the red imprint on his face.

Bently looks surprised by Korunar's words. The little halfling has had about all he can handle at this point.

You're sorry for there loss? Hah... What angle are you playing now Korunar. You weren't sorry when you climbed through a second story window and attacked some strangers with no way of knowing who they were. Trini wasn't sorry when she put those arrows through Simon and Jeremy's necks. Emerich wasn't sorry when he broke the enchantment that I had placed on those two. Instead of me asking these questions of them over a couple of drinks now we are asking over There dead bodies. Why? Because people saw something they didn't understand and decided the best policy was to start murdering people without having any idea of who they were or why they were here. Then you have the Gaul to treat these two like their untrustworthy when the dead bodies of their friends are under their feet. I swear you all are some of the worst people I have ever met. At least a Rats Nester Knows how bad a person he is. For goodness sakes... We were told there were other groups from OUR GUILD around. What if these guys had been one of them. Then would you have been sorry? Were they doing something wrong? YES!!! But who made you judge, jury, and executioner. Oh wait a judge, and Jury would have SOME idea of what was going on before they started killing people.... AND NOW, YOU ARE SORRY!!!! YOU DON'T GET THE RIGHT TO FEEL SORRY AND HAVE EVERYTHING BE OKAY... BECAUSE NOW THERE ARE TWO DEAD MEN WHO HAD FRIENDS AND FAMILIES !!! YOU ARE ALL EVIL MONSTERS!!!

The little Halfing is now shaking uncontrollably with fists waving back and forth, a wild look in his eyes.

Bently looks around at everyone staring at him and lowers his arms and grows quiet again.
and do you know what the worst part is? I helped...

Bently collapses to his knees and starts sobbing.

Maybe you should bring the horse so that you can bring Simon and Jeremey's bodies back to their families.

Hi mr. Horsie... Sorry you got pulled into this... What a poor way to treat such a pretty animal... I will name you Agamemnon... We'll call you Aggie for short... Here have a piece of jerky.

Handle Animal: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 Bently tries to offer the horse a piece of his trail rations but quickly pulls his hands back when the horse tries to nip at him.

Bently listens to Korunar and is taken aback by his demands but can't find fault in the reasons he gives for them. As such he pipes in with his support, hoping this is the quickest way to a peaceful resolution.

You know... It's a good sign "Mr. Bloodaxe" is "choosing" to let you live... I would take him up on it...

assist intimate: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 - 4 = 11 +4 for charisma, -4 for being smaller than the target, dc is 10 to give Korunar a +2, prolly not necessary but it shows a united front to the strangers.

Quite Mr. Wolf. Wait here. No reason to scare the horsey more.

Bently double moves up the stairs trying to get as close as he can to the horse. The whole time he's talking he will be looking at the horse and speaking in soothing tones.

Trini pleas stabilize their friend... if she's not dead...You strangers... My companions really seem to be good at making people dead... So... answering questions may diffuse tensions... So... Are you from Terrace?

Bently moves down the stairs 5 ft and makes it sound like there is a snarling mean wolf coming to eat the Horse from down the stairs... (Dc 15 Will vs Illusion to disbelieve the sounds)

Bently looks down at the dead body laying on the floor next to him. He pulls his arm out from the grip of the now limp hand.

Why are you killing everyone? We don't know who these people are or where they are from.

Bently will look at the two fallen men and see if there is anything he can do to keep either of them from dying...

about the wanderlust trait, my apologies. You can move an additional 20 feet. pleasemove yourself to the desired position on the map.

Not to be a jerk but if that's the wanderlust trait, I'm pretty sure that it doesn't apply to tactical movement. Just overland travel.

Wanderlust
Your childhood was brightened by the new places you constantly saw as you traveled with your parents, who were merchants. Still excited by travel, you gain great energy when traveling overland.
Benefit(s): Treat your base land speed as 10 feet higher when determining your overland speed.

There are three movement scales, as follows:

Tactical, for combat, measured in feet (or 5-foot squares) per round.
Local, for exploring an area, measured in feet per minute.
Overland, for getting from place to place, measured in miles per hour or miles per day.

Bently dodges the man trying to grab him... but to little avail the mans Grasp was to great.

A look of pity for the man comes over Bently's face as he addresses him...
I'm so sorry for everything that's happening... but it's not safe for me up there...

Escape artist to escape a grapple: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Bently pulls against the larger mans grasp but his hands seem to be unescapable.

Bently will back up into the corner of the room and sit on his heels in a manner resembling the fetal position in utter shock and dismay at the needless bloodshed... quietly stuttering to himself... and covering his face with his hands to try to block out what's about to go down...

but.... but... I ... had made... them... my friends....

My friends here can stay and keep an eye on things for you. I give you my word they won't let anything bad happen. You guys can trust me. Don't worry everything here will be fine... Don't you think it's a good idea for us to hang out for a while?

Bently hops down from his stool and checks his balance to see if the alcohol has effected him much. he gives himself a little nod.

Well all that remains is to see what we do next... Do we scout out the mines... go visit the blacksmith... poke around town seeing what else might be going around town... or... huh...

Bently stops and scratches his head... an idea has obviously caught his attention.

Why do people assume the portal in terrace sends people to somewhere that's not real ... I mean this all seems real... Why couldn't it just send us to places where we can do the most good... and maybe... maybe if this isn't real .... maybe it doesn't matter... maybe we should just do the most good because it's the right thing to do...

Bently turns towards Vivian Diplomacy: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22 Bently knows just how odd this question would sound if someone asked it of him and tries not to freak Vivian out with it.

Vivi... we've been told some... strange things about this place... please don't think I'm silly for asking... but do you have memories of when you were young... what it was like when you would walk around town with your parents... what it was like the first time you thought a boy looked nice... maybe even how sad you felt the first time you went to a funeral... I know it's a strange question... but please humor me...

Strange... In Terrace people are separated by how much money they have... or maybe what kind of job they have... Usually race has very little with who you live close to or buy your lunch from... There's some outliers... the Stout boys for instance... group of rats Nesters that's all gnome and Dwarves... but their kind of the exception not the rule... mostly people get along with different sorts in Terrace... mostly...

took a little liberty there GM... hope you don't mind...

Bently cast ghost sound right before he jumps out of the shadows so that there is an audible pop... making it look like he just stepped out of thin air...

Bently really thinks that that is a really cool trick. Never mind the fact most people can do it with just their finger and their mouth.

Well what a lovely town... and it is so Kind of you ma'am to welcome us to your town... your home if you will... and such pleasing manners... saying excuse me to get our attention... of course we'll excuse you... after all we are the visitors... the guests if you will...

Bently puts on his most friendly smile and extends his hand to the lady. If she puts it out he will take her hand and kiss the back of it.

Human Shadow:
Halflings seem to pop up wherever humans are found, in part because they actively support and move with human explorers, settlers, and travelers without drawing attention to themselves. These halflings can use Stealth to hide behind creatures at least one size category larger than themselves, without any other source of concealment or cover. As long as the halflings are within 30 feet of a human, they gain a +2 racial bonus on Sleight of Hand checks and Stealth checks. This racial trait replaces keen senses and sure-footed.

Bently starts walking down the hill not noticing if anyone is following him... or listening.

... you know Iv'e never seen a town other than terrace... I wonder who lives there... or what lives there.... or if anything is alive there at all... Maybe it's abunch of those automotononmnymynomns.... you know the mechanical men... wouldn't that be neat?... or what if everyone there was a big GIANT... or a tiny little person... Or maybe they're all animal people...or...

The Eidolon's Bite Strength
3 people marked this as FAQ candidate.

On page 34 of the Advanced Player's Guide Final Playtest PDF, it is stated that:

Quote:
All natural attacks are made using the eidolon’s full base attack bonus unless otherwise noted. Eidolon attacks add the eidolon’s Strength modifier to the damage roll, unless it is its only attack, in which case it adds 1-1/2 times its Strength modifier.

On page 36, in the evolutions section, the rules for the bite evolution are as follows:

Quote:
Bite (Ex) : An eidolon’s maw is full of razor-sharp teeth, giving it a bite attack. This attack is a primary attack. The bite deals 1d6 points of damage (1d8 if Large, 2d6 if Huge). If the eidolon already has a bite attack, this evolution allows it to deal 1-1/2 times its Strength modifier on damage rolls made with its bite.

So, what happens if you take the quadruped base form (which receives only a bite attack to start with) and then spend one evolution point on the bite attack "upgrade?" Are there any rules that govern situations where there are multiple "bonuses" to the amount of strength damage that applies to an attack? Do the bonuses stack somehow, further increasing the amount of damage the eidolon gets from its strength (strength bonus x2 perhaps)? Or do they not stack at all, rendering the bite evolution upgrade useless for the above-mentioned eidolon? My intuition suggests that allowing some form of stacking would be fair, as the only way to achieve this would be to only have one attack on the eidolon. However, I'd prefer an official answer to this question, assuming there is one to be found.

EDIT: Furthermore, assuming that stacking is allowed, what happens when the eidolon Power Attacks? Does that damage get upgraded as well?
