Thanks Aarvid for the fun!

Burngar hands over the piece to Venture-Captain Smine, "Ha! We found that inside the heart of a Ro-Boot! It was glorious! Magic fireballs that it shot from its arse! Ha! Thurston and I had a jolly time, and with a jolly group of Pathfinders I might say!."

He turns to his fellow Pathfinders, "Ha! I'd be willing to adventure with any of you any day!"

Burngar holds the piece in his hands, "Ha! Maybe this is what we need to be bringing back to the 'ol Lodge! What do you say, blow this robot stand?"

Burngar reaches into the charred wreckage and pulls out the piece of metal that is different than the rest. He holds it up triumphantly, "Ha! That'll teach him to spit fire at a Rockhard!"

He carries the piece over to Wizzie and looks at the crystal ball. What edo you think that is? He gazes into the ball.

In regards to Clandelve's fly checks.

Before I forget! Don't forget to add +2 to your fly checks for the following: "The subject gains a bonus on Fly skill checks equal to 1/2 your caster level." A potion would be CL 5, so that 5/2 = 2.5, rounded to +2. Also, 1's on skill checks are never automatic failures, so you've got that potentially going for you as well!

To GM Aarvid's point, I figured, since you didn't charge, that getting to the target shouldn't be an issue. Side treks here and there taking a round-about path (but never taking more than a 45-degree turn, or one diagonal square) is an easy way to chalk up 1/2 speed movement before getting to your target and without requiring a fly check due to complex maneuvering.

On the other hand, hover is another story altogether (sorry Clandelve, you didn't write down what maneuver you were attempting). So I was wrong in assuming you weren't trying something complex.

We locally (and yay rules non-clarity) read the fly rules such that in order to perform the maneuver you're attempting, you have to succeed on a fly check. If you fail you don't fall (not making a check doesn't suddenly make you not floating, it just prevents you from doing what you're trying to do) and you're forced to do non-maneuvery flight.

This mainly comes from reading the following, "If you are using wings and you fail a Fly check by 5 or more, you plummet to the ground..." Since the fly spell doesn't create wings, you don't plummet, you just fail to perform your maneuver (and likely incur an AoO in the process) and are forced to do something that provides the full 1/2 movement with no complex maneuvers because you kinda suck flying at the moment.

I want to make sure I'm following your interpretation though Aarvid

Wizzy! Thank you for remind me about haste!

Burngar, tired from his previous two hits, thrusts his spike ridden pelvis into the robot. "HA! AT LEAST YOU COULD HAVE BOUGHT ME DINNER FIRST!"

Armor Spikes on Fire!, PA, RA, Haste, IC, Gr: 1d20 + 15 - 2 + 2 + 1 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 15 - 2 + 2 + 1 + 3 - 2 = 31 Damage: 1d6 + 8 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 4 + 3 = 19 Fire: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Burngar sighs as he reaches into his belt pouch and pulls out a stoppered flask. Labeled, "Use in case of aerial emergencies" he pulls out the stopper and gulps down the flask.

Burngar's feet begin to float off the ground, "Ha! You're right Clandelve, this ain't natural!"

Move: Draw item.
Standard: Drink potion.
Five foot step.

Hey Wizzy, the banner is only 30', not visual distance.

Holy crapola, a 30' fireball!? Wow!

Reflex Failed Save I'm Sure: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

84 points of protection gainst fire - 21 damage = 63 points of protection against fire

Burngar looks furious at the robot that singed the tips of his beard, he gently caresses them hoping that his beard polish provided at least a little protection.

He bellows, "HA! That thing flies! Blanchbeak, you can fly now!"

Burngar hurries forward as a double move.

Some of you will see this in the other thread I'm in.

I am doing some significant PFS GMing at Con of the North this weekend and will be hit-or-miss starting tomorrow sometime in the AM. I should be back around by Monday.

Burngar calls to his allies, "Ha! It's safe over here, just walk over! Ha!"

He waits for the party to start coming over before smashing the next eye.

Thurston, PA: 1d20 + 14 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 14 - 2 = 19 Damage(Adamantine): 2d6 + 9 + 6 ⇒ (4, 2) + 9 + 6 = 21

Burngar walks to the far eye and swings his hammer, attempting to destroy the electronic eye. "Ha! Friends, there are more of those eyes back here. The ledge was easy, come on through!"

Thurston, PA: 1d20 + 14 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 14 - 2 = 25 Damage(Adamantine): 2d6 + 9 + 6 ⇒ (5, 2) + 9 + 6 = 22

Burngar laughs, "Ha! Looks like we might have to climb over here!"

He attempts to navigate the narrow ledge on the edge of the crevice.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

I should also note I have the Mountaineer racial trait.

Burngar moves to examine the crevasse and what might be beyond it, "Ha! Does anybody have a flying pet or something! How about you Tengu, can you fly?! Ha!"

Burngar lifts his hammer to his shoulder and nods in agreement, "Ha! Down it is!"

He begins to head down the stairs.

Burngar leaps into the room again, figuring it will be another anti-gravity chamber. He scans for more laser eyes as well.

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Negative AC. Local barbarians had an unofficial contest and while many hit low single digits one managed to drop to -2 AC while raging.

"HA! That's impressive! I'm only down to four! Ha!"

Burngar points and laughs, "Ha! That door is stronger than you cousin! Perhaps it is of Dwarven construction!"

Burngar moves back to the party, "Ha! Nevermind, just a hall over there too!"

Looking at the door and Clandelve's bruised shoulder he offers up a solution, "Ha! Why not try to have somebody unlock it?! Ha!"

Burngar moves up to look a little closer into the hallway. He bellows loudly enough call his friends, "Ha! There's more hallway over here!"

Burngar stands up and brushes himself off, "Ha! Well that was a ride, wasn't it? I'd say do it again, but it looks like the thingie is broken! Unfortunate! Ha!" He looks at Garret, "Ha! My boy, if I need healing and you're there getting hit right there with me, you're likely dead twice over at that point! Best you stay safe and work from afar!"

He looks to Wizzy, "Ha! A few bumps and bruises, nothing too serious for me! I'm ready for action!"

Burngar smiles a huge toothy grin. "Ha! Perhaps we should check and make sure there aren't any more of those roo-bots out here before we go in!"

Burngar moves to get a vantage point around the rest of the ruins, trying carefully not to get sucked up into another one of those hallways.

Another thing about the banner. It has a range of 30'. Forgot about that one.

We can right now, but not always. Most of the time I haven't been in the same room as you so I'm not getting a banner bonus. For example, you were inside the tavern while I was outside most of the time. Same held true for the robot battle. I had no LOS.

Burngar lands with an "oomph", but looks virtually unphased by the movement.

Being right next to the eye and unable to swing his hammer, he instead throws his arm, thick with armor spikes at the eye.

Armor Spikes, PA: 1d20 + 13 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 13 - 2 = 20 Damage: 1d6 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 4 = 13
Armor Spikes, PA, 2nd: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 8 - 2 = 11 Damage: 1d6 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 4 = 11

Damage is not adamantine.

Yup, I know what bit o luck does. Honestly, you shouldn't have put yourself in danger. I have pretty hefty DR and you already gave fire resist. It's a stationary object in space, so it usually has an AC of something like 5.

Burngar lands on the ceiling with an "oomph" but barely looks even winded by the ordeal (Invulnerable Rager DR of 3/- doubled against NL).

He looks to his colleagues, "Ha! I wouldn't try to reach out here Garret my boy, or you're going to be floating with the rest of us!"

Once he sees the cleric landing along side the Dwarves he shakes his head, "Ha! Damn fool youth!"

Burngar sees if he can hit the red laser eye first with his massive hammer.

10' reach, adamantine if it matters.
Thurston, PA: 1d20 + 14 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 14 - 2 = 31 Damage(Adamantine): 2d6 + 9 + 6 ⇒ (2, 4) + 9 + 6 = 21

Realizing that he can't hit the eye, Burngar thinks long and hard for about three seconds before giving a big, toothy, grin. "Ha! Well if it's good for Clandelve," he says as he jumps energetically into the hallway.

Burngar watches Clandelve go careening from wall-to-wall as blasts of lasers fire at him, "Ha! That ain't right! Don't worry Clandelve, at least they're not robots! Ha! Garret, if ya move a bit, I might be able to hit that eye from the door!"

He muscles Garret out of the way and tries to swing his hammer at the eye 10' away. Let me know if this isn't mechanically possible.

Burngar walks up behind Clandelve and slaps him hard on the shoulder in a friendly gesture, "Ha! Don't be concerned my Dwarven brother! You hit them, and they break! Ha! Sounds like an exciting adventure to me!"

Burngar comes out of his rage, "HA! Robots! Ha!" he says, as if simply saying the word means something. "Well shot my boy!"

He leans over and starts picking through the remains looking for anything shiny.

Fortunately for Burngar, he's almost as dangerous grappled. You should ask be proud you got me to waste a reroll on that!

Burngar moves forward slightly trying to make heads or tails of the screens, "Ha! What kind of magic is this?!" Burngar grips his hammer tighter.

Burngar makes his way into the room throwing caution to the wind, "Ha! I wonder what kind of creature built this home! Ha!"

Burngar happily follows suit, "Ha! Can't let you go off on your fool own! Ha! A Door!?"

Is the door open or closed.

Burngar shrugs, "Ha! If ya want me to go in, I'll go in! Or we go around! Ha! Either way, it's an adventure!"

Burngar looks confused as he talks to Wizzy, "Ha! I don't see anything! Maybe you're just imagining things! Or, I COULD BREAK IT! Ha!"

He looks to Clandelve and plans on following his lead.

Burngar makes his way right next to Clandelve to enter, "Ha! Can't let you go alone!"

Burngar looks at the pile of dead Technic League booty before them. He kicks the amulet with his toe, moving it a little. He prods the armor with his long hammer.

"Ha! Stupid League didn't have to attack! Now we're actin' like vultures pickin' through their corpses for stuff. Ha! Well, I guess beggars can't be choosers, and they did attack first!"

Burngar picks up a potion of Cure Moderate Wounds and stores it in his belt pouch. He shrugs casually on the rest.

Burngar spends much of the trip singing to himself. It's out of key and fairly irritating.

Burngar muscles his way to the front to join his Dwarven colleague; he is clearly oblivious to any danger. "Ha! Which hole you want to enter Clandelve? Ha! That's right, can the rest of you see if we get inside?!"

I was guessing that might happen.

Good thing we finished the fight when we did.

Burngar claps Fandral on the shoulder, "Ha! That was a right kind thing you did there lad! I approve!"

Burngar helps pack up all the gear, "Ha! Let's look at what we might have to help us when we get out of town! For now, I agree with Fandral, it is time to depart! Ha!"

Burngar comes out of his rage, huffing and puffing. "HA! WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE?" He tries to pick out anything useful that they can examine after they're safely out of trouble.

"Ha! Anybody willing to hit me with my wand?"

Hey Garret, this is what you're looking for (emphasis mine).

Area: Some spells affect an area. Sometimes a spell description specifies a specially defined area, but usually an area falls into one of the categories defined below.

Regardless of the shape of the area, you select the point where the spell originates, but otherwise you don't control which creatures or objects the spell affects. The point of origin of a spell is always a grid intersection When determining whether a given creature is within the area of a spell, count out the distance from the point of origin in squares just as you do when moving a character or when determining the range for a ranged attack. The only difference is that instead of counting from the center of one square to the center of the next, you count from intersection to intersection.

You can count diagonally across a square, but remember that every second diagonal counts as 2 squares of distance. If the far edge of a square is within the spell's area, anything within that square is within the spell's area. If the spell's area only touches the near edge of a square, however, anything within that square is unaffected by the spell.

So when casting an area effect spell centered on you, you have to chose one of your square's four corners to count as the "center" of the effect.

...is there a way to get those templates of yours into Google Slides and make them transparent?

Yes, I made the 10' one already. There's a polyline tool which will allow you to build them to scale.

Hey everybody with AoEs, don't forget that AoEs target corners, not squares Here's a link to a google doc with formats.

Notably - Wizzy, your 10' radius template is much larger, and Garrett, your 30' radius is a bit smaller.

I replaced the original glittderdust template as an example.

Reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Burngar takes the brunt of the fireball, but he seems to resist some of it. His smile grows huge though as the fire that did not hurt him is absorbed by his armor and his armor spikes light on fire.

Fire Forged Armor + Fire Forged Weapon now active.

I was thinking more along the: needs to be within 5' to expend a 5-step, a move to retrieve, and a standard to cast issue. If it's in a spring loaded sheath (GM fiat depending), they can at least move to get to you!

You're correct though that the caster would need to cast read magic to read the scroll and go, "okay got it, now I know how to read this" before combat began.

Moving from play discussion...

But a BoL scroll in a belt pouch (especially one not owned by the caster) isn't going going to be a whole lot of use...

Hey Garret, one thing that would be particularly cool is if you could do a template for your channels, aids, etc. to know if we've been hit by them. :-)

Although I don't prescribe to the traditional roles of most classes, I wouldn't worry too much about worrying that Wizzy has "ursurped" your job. Wizzy is doing the bard buff thing which is in it's own category of "what it does".

With a strength of 14, and a con of 14, you're in a reasonable spot to throw yourself into melee and lend a hand there. Also, clerics get a lot of utility that bards can never aspire to (short of edge archetype cases): channel energy, removing conditions, blessing of fervor (did I mention blessing of fervor?). I see you have unselected spells, that too is flexibility that Clerics get over Bards.

I wouldn't hang up much on one what one combat has you doing - chances are at some point we're going to be glad we have a Cleric.
