No, but Damien was doing the old: I mustn't ask again, I mustn't ask again... oh bless you Steve and the next five generations of your offspring!
Got it, thanks again for running!
All of it again with extra stuff... Player Name: Damien
Did this character play WBG or WBG2? WBG (the original)
Player Name: Damien
Did this character play WBG or WBG2? WBG (the original) * If you don't want to leave them blank, I can dig around. I've currently misplaced my hard copies and my scanned copy doesn't have the latest sheet on it yet.
"Hey, Poogie... *chomp chomp chomp*," Chuffy begins, his mouth full of food, "You did real good against Vorka... *nom nom nom*... she regret day she ever came back to kill Birdcruncher chiefs.... *slurp slurp slurp*.... but she do great job of roasting pork.... *crunch crunch crunch*.... poor, juicy, tender Squealy Nord..." Chuffy uses his dogslicer to pick bits of Squealy out of his teeth.
Animated Objects: Animated objects count as creatures for purposes of determining their Armor Class (do not treat them as inanimate objects). Bolded section is mine. If that's the only place you've got that compares the two, then I would suggest that they are definitely different. I know it only refers to AC, but still. At the very least, RAW is still unclear about this. I actually think this is a good FAQ candidate. May find the appropriate spot to post this question on the boards.
"Moggie! Your flames do nothing," screams Chuffy, "Heal Poogie, he figured out how to damage this thing! Chuffy not know what he did, but it hurt Vorka-thing!" With Poog down, Chuffy makes no more Squealy Nord puns. He just focuses and... Oh, sh*t! Vorka looking at Chuffy like Chuffy only oppon... en...t.... Realizing that he will no longer be able to sneakily slide his dagger into a weak spot when the monstrosity is distracted, Chuffy flees pell-mell for the trees . Upon reaching a suitably sized trunk, he tries to disappear from view.
Trusting to his sneakiness, Chuffy then very quietly rises up for a better view, drawing his crossbow as he goes. The goblin is too stupid to put out the flames that have now set fire to his spider's wooden cage.
Chuffy doesn't so much continue to burn as his pimples continue to boil against his face.
"Ow! Chuffy is basting in his own puss! Oh, sorry, Chuffy not mean to say 'basting'. Poor, well-cooked Squealy. Hey, you think he's done yet?"
Chuffy squeals as the flames sear his body. "Oh, sorry Poogie. Chuffy not mean to say 'squeal'! Poor, aromatic Squealy." Secretly angry at the death of the only 'chief' who never picked on him, Chuffy tries to stab Vorka-thing as viciously as he knows how.
Chuffy dutifully drops to the ground and rolls twenty times. He stands back up with a very confused look on his face. "Who told Chuffy to do that?" asks the goblin, looking up at the sky. And why did I obey?
Yeah, I think the confusion is over "is a construct an object too", specifically in the "animated object" context. I don't believe there is anywhere in RAW that says they are... just in the title "animated object". However, magical beasts are not real "beasts" (since their subtype is "magical beast" not "animal") and as such are not subject to the same stuff that animals are (like speak with animals, etc). It's their type that matters, and an animated object's type is construct... and for that, they have construct traits. They are no longer an object in the same way that a robot is no longer an collection of metal objects, it has transcended. Unless I've missed a written rule somewhere that says they need to be both, that is how I will treat them in the purely hypothetical situation where I may or may not throw one at the players a game that I may or may not be running in the future. Okay, I promise that will be my last attempt to convince the GM not to kill us. As for the scenario design... calling for knowledge (arcana) when none of the pregens have one feels like more than just an oversight, it feels... sloppy. This is a Free RPG Day Module, not Bonekeep. It should help promote roleplaying, not teach players how f*cked up and deeply situationally unfair the Pathfinder rules can be at times.
... shoots off like a stuck pig to the other side of the Vorka effigy, drawing his blade as he goes and ducking her attacks.
"Die again! Vorka the Porker! Oh, sorry, me not mean to say 'porker'. Poor, scrumptious Squealy..." Chuffy continues annoyingly.
If that actually hurts the thing, Chuffy will yell, "Moggie! Pass Poogie back his wand of firepigs if you don't know how to use it!!!! Oh, sorry, Chuffy not mean to say 'firepigs'. Poor, delicious, Squealy. Chuffy going to get away from all this crackling fire. Oh, sorry, Chuffy not mean to say 'crackling'. Poor, tasty, Squealy. Okay, enough funny business, getting out of here. Hope you can save Chuffy's bacon. Oh, sorry, Chuffy not mean to say 'bacon'..." The insufferable goblin makes to run away. However, despite his furiously pumping legs, he makes absolutely no progress. He looks down to notice that he is floating a few inches above the ground. Chuffy quickly wills himself back to the ground while his legs are still flapping, and shoots off like a stuck pig into the underbrush. Once there, he finds a quick hiding spot and then floats up so that he's got a nice little assasin's perch above the treeline. On the way, he draws his crossbow and starts fingering his flaming crossbow bolts .
At the first sign of trouble, Chuffy drinks the potion of fruitilisciousness. "Ha ha! Chuffy is a GOD!!! Chuffy most powerful gobbo in cave! Ever! Mwa ha ha!"" Chuffy picks up a bar and tries to bend it with his bare hands, "Chuffy bet he really strong now..."
"So booooooooooooooored," Chuffy continues to complain, tempting fate.
Chuffy doesn't seem to be in the mood for truffle cakes just yet. Perhaps because he hasn't smelled them yet. He kicks at stones on the way back to the cave. Is the life of the chief meant to be this boring? Chuffy had heard of another goblin tribe that got to lead a raid on Sandpoint. Now that sounded like fun! Chuffy heaves a massive sigh, causing his acne to ooze slightly, and continues to trudge along back to the caves. "Poogie? If we still bored tomorrow, can we kill tribe?" Chuffy isn't even close to joking, "Oh, and Moggie, please coat Chuffy's weapon again. Chuffy thinks it came off on the vine." 'Please'? 'Please'?!!?! Something is seriously wrong with Chuffy. Chuffy is so boooooooooored he's using manners.
Chuffy starts helping Squealy Nord out with the truffle hunt, but the pimply goblin quickly grows bored and starts squishing facial craters instead. "Hey Squealy! Did you see that? That's what I call a 'Poog Blaster'. It shot out at least... erm... five thousand feet!" Eventually, Chuffy sits on the ground and starts moaning about how dull this is. He then notices the potion labelled 'potion of fruitiliciousness'. It sounds good, so he takes a sip to see if it truly is a nice tasting potion, or if Poogie and Moggie just got it wrong again.
Chuffy shakes his head to clear out the cobwebs and the sound of singing. "Chuffy kind of misses her now she's dead," he notes forlornly, "Ah well, let's go see what was in that silo of hers. Poogie, you can fix yourself, right?" Chuffy waits until his priest has fixed himself, and then he'll quietly and sneakily head up to the grain silo to look for treasures. Then he'll burn it to the ground.
Chuffy saunters back over to where the feathered siren is. "Why you go away again?
"Come back here you juicy thing -
Chuffy bursts one his pimples for emphasis. The familiar feeling of seeping puss brings the goblin back to his senses.
Chuffy rushes after his beau. "Lovely siren, don't leave me!
"Want to hear you sing all day,
"Who the fūck are you, ugly bïtch?" he asks, looking around for cover.
Chuffy was going to give Poog one of his minty-fresh potions of healing, but instead he is drawn to this magnificent voice! The goblin bursts pimples in an effort to clear his face up for whatever divine beauty is conjuring such a magnificent sound. He attempts to add his own voice to the song... "Chuffy love, to hear you sing,
"Poogie just a stupid chief,
"Poogie not gonna be happy if you kill his piggie!" Chuffy warns the fine. Delighted that the plant seems to be ignoring him once more, Chuffy sticks it again with his dogslicer, growing bolder by the moment.
"Good shot, Reta!" Chuffy praises the warrior. Maybe if I compliment her, she play giggle-pokes with me and not break Chuffy Junior... again. "Haw haw! Poogie and Moggie's fires do nothing, and Chuffy and Reta must save the day," Chuffy delights in his newfound ability to beat the big chief at damage output, "Ummm.... Squealy, don't tell Poogie that Chuffy said that when he wakes up. Nobody likes a squealer. No! Chuffy likes you... it's just a 'formal express on'. You know, like when you have to get dressed for a wedding really quickly..."
Despite the tangle at his feet, Chuffy hopes the vine has yet to see him and approaches from behind a tree .
"Take that, bad vine!" Chuffy jeers, "Chuffy will kill you!"
Plants? Poogie attacked by vines? "Bwa ha ha ha ha ha!" Chuffy rushes over to get a better view of the fun. He slows down when he enters the underbrush and attempts to hide himself from the plant attacking Poog.
"Rubbing my sword! *tee hee*" Chuffy shows his 'sword' to the GM.
Chuffy snickers as he gets away with it.
Chuffy attempts to remove the last mushroom that Poog managed to save from Squealy Nord. Not gonna eat dirty mushrooms touched by longshanks...
If he gets the mushroom without Poog noticing, he lets Squealy chow down. On the way to the truffle hunt, Chuffy moves over to Mogmurch, "Hey Moggie, you gonna help me out? Chuffy want poison on blade. Please? Stankrush been bitting little vials you give him real good - got lots now! Chuffy make sure you get bigger slice of pie."
"Chuffy check out silo, you pick boring mushrooms," says the pimply goblin. Being naturally cowardly and cautious, he creeps up to the ruined silo to scout things out. He remains hidden as best he can .
As the fireball incinerates everyone in the clearing, Chuffy takes a moment to pause and think. Ah, this is the reason Chuffy hasn't killed Poogie yet. That wand won't last forever, though... Chuffy rushes in and starts rummaging through the treasures. He flings the truffles in Squealy Nord's direction and starts chomping on the ham, mouth open, so the pig can get a good look at it. He draws out the corpse of toad, 'Fat Frog', who has long ago died of starvation. It is almost completely dried up now, frog skin stretched taut between its brittle bones. "No food for you, Fat Frog. Have you put on weight? Naughty froggy! You still on diet!" Then Chuffy spies the greatest treasure of all. "Toe scratcher is mine!" he screams and grabs the oversized implement. The disgusting goblin kicks off his boot, revealing a foot covered sores and boils. "Aaaaaaahhhhhh...." he moans delightedly as he uses the implement. Pus and blood erupt from various places on his foot and begin to make the ground stink like dead badger. "So, back home?" suggests Chuffy, "Tell followers how awesome we are, eat horsies and then kill whole tribe to relieve boredom. Sound like plan? Oh, right, truffles."
Chuffy almost squeals with glee at the prospect of the very 'not boring' things that are about to happen.
Chuffy moves quietly through the tree line. He considers unleashing his pet spider, Stankrash, upon the horses to spook them but figures his fire-loving comrades will do a better job of that anyway. He finds a particularly sturdy tree trunk for cover and looks around for a juicy target to hit with his crossbow.
Horsies? Doggies? Oh dear... oh dear! Chuffy does what comes naturally and hides. Drawing his crossbow and leaving his companions behind, he creeps ever closer to the stinking humies. Chuffy takes special care to be downwind of the animals as he gets closer.
Chuffy sees the goblin heads on pikes. Cool. Chuffy starting to like these longshanks. Too bad for them that Chuffy is bored.
"First, the boring story... now we need to pick mushrooms," Chuffy grouses, "Chuffy gonna kill someone else today. If longshanks no give Chuffy excitement, Chuffy find another thing to kill..." Just in case he could be accused of being subtle, Chuffy eyes off Mogmurch and Poog in turn while licking his newly enchanted dogslicer. He only cuts his tongue up a little.
"Poogie, what's he saying? Chuffy can't speak pig," the annoying goblin wines, "Poogie lucky, he speak pig from birth! Haw!" Despite having no means of communicating with Squealy, Chuffy jostles for a position at the forefront. He wanted to hear every squeak and grunt. By Zarongel's severely singed holy pubic hair I'm bored with being a chief!
Chuffy was just about to fire off his fireworks right at Poog when the dirty, rotten, cheating priest is declared the winner. Chuffy grins as he watches the other goblins taking their aim. The pimply rogue lines up a shot at Poog...
"Poogie! Chuffy so sorry! Chuffy really bad shot!"
"Bwa ha ha ha ha ha!!!" Chuffy laughs, despite being bitten, when Poog and Mogmurch finally cross the line, "Chuffy is the greatest! Poogie and Moggie must love taste of mud and feeling of brambles. Moggie worse rider even than Poogie! Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!" Chuffy thinks hard about the targets. Remembering previous challenges, the greedy goblin tries to "steal" the most points first.
"Haw haw!" laughs Chuffy with glee as he see's Poog true to form on his attempt to ride an animal, "What that you say yesterday, 'Me Poogie, me learn how ride animals now! Me bestest rider in world!' Haw haw! Poogie still like mud better than animal's back. Poogie, 'Great Chief Mud Rider'! Haw! Here, Chuffy show you how it is done." With practiced ease, Chuffy climbs onto the goblin dog. It smells so much better than regular dog. Without a saddle, though, Chuffy's constantly erupting facial volcanoes are making the dog's fur slick and matted. It is quite tricky to hold on, but the mean-spirited goblin is too caught up in showing up Poog to truly pay attention to what is going on. "Chuffy going to beat Poogie! Chuffy knows how to make goblin dogs go real fast!" he yells, taunting his chief. Once on the back of the dog, Chuffy sticks it in the backside with his dogslicer and clings on for dear life.
Chuffy's stuck mount is running so fast, it easily leaps over the mud pit that Poog seems to have fallen into. Chuffy giggles uncontrollably at the fate of his comrade. He almost doesn't see the narrow ridge until it is too late.
Sticking the dog in its other flank, Chuffy manages to guide it close enough to the wall that it not only makes the narrow ridge, but it does so at great speed. Howling with joy, Chuffy rounds upon the gnome. Weapon already in hand, he digs his knees in to his dog's sides and gets the extra reach he needs to take a swipe at the gussied-up pumpkin.
"Die silly gnome!" Chuffy is really starting to enjoy this game. Chuffy stabs his dog once more for good measure and it charges off down the ridge.
Chuffy pulls up, hard, on the dog's mane and it leaps gracefully over the brambles. The wicked goblin leaps from the dog's back and cheers himself on, "Chuffy is the greatest! Other chief's are losers!" he yells loudly before crying out in pain as the sliced-up goblin dog bites him in the breeches.
Dude. That rocks. Linking it on the Zedroom. Also, forgot to say earlier, love the new images for the goblins. Makes you really feel like you've leveled up (especially if you're playing it the way we are). Awesome stuff.
Chuffy searches his mind for any more relevant information.
"Okay, getting bored now. Next story!" he yells, sitting back in his chair, "Poogie, maybe this one will tell you something with flames in it and you can burn him!" Chuffy rubs his hands at the prospect of burning. Oh, how he loves burning. Almost as much as he loves stabbing.
"This axe stink of stunty flesh," Chuffy complains. Nevertheless, he puts his dogslicer away and picks up the ridiculously oversized waraxe in both hands. "Chuffy warning you, if other part of story come true... then Chuffy chop head off again..." struggling for grip with his flesh juice coating his hands, Chuffy does his best to line up a very messy shot... [dice=Coup de grace, dwarven waraxe crit, sneak attack]3d10-3+2d6[/dice]
"Chuffy like this game!" the sadistic little goblin jumps up from his puss-encrusted chief-chair, "Chuffy want to play." Chuffy draws his dogslicer - now magically enchanted by Mother-Whatever-Her-Name-Was. The pustulent goblin advances on Mothmangler Munge. "Now, Mothmangler already dressed as Great Green Goblin King," Chuffy notes, "Chuffy play part of longshanks lord. This no axe, but it do the job!"
"Karma's Pregen Alias?" Chuffy looks on with a sour expression on his face, "Chuffy highly disappointed in lack of commitment shown by fellow chiefs."
Chuffy is updated. Got screwed again on hitpoints, skill points or sneak attack damage (whichever they didn't include in the pregen). Ah well. If I die by 2 hp, I'm writing to Richard Pett. :-) "Umm... did anyone else notice who marked that post as a favorite?" Chuffy ducks under a table, "Chuffy didn't mean it! Chuffy fine with measly 33 hit points! Eeep!" Watch out Chuffy, keep groveling. Remember, for your lifetime at least, Richard Pett controls Zarongel!
"Both! Chuffy said 'either way', not 'any way'. Silly GM needs to pay attention to Syntax," gripes Chuffy as he finishes on the chamber pot. He reads the label on the side of the now putrid container... Hmmm... 'Made by 37 Signals?' Good to see they finally started making what they were good at...
