Jaunty Brigand Nair-do-well 1 / Upstart 3

Makes sense. I forgot the ring also grants gills, so that potion can go to someone else I suppose.


Jaunty Brigand Nair-do-well 1 / Upstart 3

I have a natural swim speed of 30', spells that grant underwater breathing and a swim speed (but only 6 castings total), and 3 Potions of Waterbreathing.

So between spells and potions I can set up myself and 4 others with swimming and breathing, with one 1st level spell left over.

It occurs to me that I should put it out there that Devon has been crazy busy packing house and moving for the last week. We should get the last of his stuff moved tomorrow, but it may be a couple more days before we have any forward motion here.

Sorry for not posting something sooner. It's been an exhausting and hot several days.


Jaunty Brigand Nair-do-well 1 / Upstart 3

That's great news (I think)!

Glad to have you back and recovering.


Jaunty Brigand Nair-do-well 1 / Upstart 3

Yay!


Jaunty Brigand Nair-do-well 1 / Upstart 3

I would say that this one action, taken individually, is not evil in and of itself. However, the propensity to take that sort of action over the long term does trend in an evil direction.

Of course—and were Hassan conscious he'd say as much—it would have been a pretty simple matter to tie up the survivors, elect a new captain, run 'em through a nice quick trial, and hang 'em for being the murderous sea dogs they were. Nice and legal-like. ;-)


Jaunty Brigand Nair-do-well 1 / Upstart 3

Wow man that's really heavy. If I've got any good vibrations to send your way, consider them sent. As Devon said, good rest and godspeed.


Jaunty Brigand Nair-do-well 1 / Upstart 3

Hey Cap'n Devon, instead of photobucket, why not use imgur.com? It's significantly better.


Jaunty Brigand Nair-do-well 1 / Upstart 3

Sorry about not posting the last couple of days. For some reason I thought we were waiting on you.


Jaunty Brigand Nair-do-well 1 / Upstart 3

For any actions Hassan might take during the next 3 weeks, he would generally continue to play himself up to the crew at large as a simpering coward who would rather talk than fight, and try to make inroads with any of the officers who might bend a favorable ear towards him. Particularly if he thought it would get him lighter labor (and maybe put that Appraise skill to work).

Let's see how I do for hit points. I'm adding 1 hp for favored class.

1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

I am 100% fine with hand waving our way to the adventure part of the adventure.

Click on "My Account" up at the top, under "Message Board Settings" you can set a default alias, so you will not have to switch it every time.

Below that is "Messageboard Aliases". Click "Edit" to the right, and select the portrait you want from the ones they offer you.


Jaunty Brigand Nair-do-well 1 / Upstart 3

Hey Travis, you might want to select your character from the drop-down menu when you post (and to perhaps pick a character portrait)?

Just a thought.


Jaunty Brigand Nair-do-well 1 / Upstart 3

Hurray!


Jaunty Brigand Nair-do-well 1 / Upstart 3

I'll take Blue.


Jaunty Brigand Nair-do-well 1 / Upstart 3

Ick. Sorry to hear that.

The dreaded holiday weekend, more likily.


Jaunty Brigand Nair-do-well 1 / Upstart 3

From what I understand (and I hope I'm not overstepping my bounds here), there is this thing going around and around the town in which Devon and I live, which is some combination of head/chest cold and sinus infection which simply enters into your body and lingers for weeks.

Which is to say that Devon (and his family, all of whom have been suffering this affliction) have been feeling some variety of s&@$ty for days on end, but it is unlikely to be anything more dire than what can reasonably be cured with some variety of pills, potions, and unguents as many be acquired from the local apophacary, coupled with copious amounts of bed rest.

But I will inform him of your well wishes, if he has not at least checked the board himself, already.


Jaunty Brigand Nair-do-well 1 / Upstart 3

Hey folks. Cap'n Devon asked me to relay to everyone that he's still fighting the plague of horrible death that's been afflicting him, but that he's going to the doctor today and will post as soon as he is able (e.g. as soon as his fever goes down a bit).

In the meantime...


Jaunty Brigand Nair-do-well 1 / Upstart 3

That sounds not unreasonable.


Jaunty Brigand Nair-do-well 1 / Upstart 3

Man, that Rum is hell of nasty. 3 Con damage, Another -2 if I don't drink the Rum again tomorrow, and Hassan is addicted so the DC against addiction goes up by +2 every time he drinks it, as long as he is still suffering from the Con damage.

On a purely mechanic basis, though, I'm confused about how the rum works. Because regardless of whether you make your save or not you still take the 1d3 Con damage... so if everyone is drinking this stuff each night, how is the crew not all dead of Con damage within a week or two?


Jaunty Brigand Nair-do-well 1 / Upstart 3

Ah, I see. I was under the impression you were quoting the adventure path in particular. Duly noted.


Jaunty Brigand Nair-do-well 1 / Upstart 3

Well it says explicitly, "The rum is staggeringly strong, and is often watered down to make grog."

So I would imagine that just doing that isn't a punishment worthy offense.


Jaunty Brigand Nair-do-well 1 / Upstart 3

Question for the GM: What effect, if any, does watering the rum ration down into grog have, either on it's immediate effects or addictive properties?

He won't be speaking it much longer, I imagine. Just a little fun in the introduction. ;-)

Jaunty Brigand Nair-do-well 1 / Upstart 3

Question: Along with mundane gear, could a player purchase simple magic items such as potions or scrolls with their meager starting wealth?

Its been a while since I played but Firelight is the (proud?) owner of probably my most favorite group/army, Necrons...though I doubt he has played with them in years.

Not since 5e came in and ruined them. From what I understand the new codex made them kinda awesome again, but my 40k days are mostly behind me. I sold some of the figures off, but I still have most of them.

Anyhoo, I'm not really much for hero points. I like the occasional random hand of fate stepping in. I do like the idea of that permanent injuries thing... peg legs and eye patches and such.

Okay, game stats worked out. I decided to go for the Seaborn Bloodline after all. It's just kind of useful as heck, and after looking it over there isn't that much overlap with an Aquatic Druid (except for a couple of spells that are generally useful to the whole party).

Allrighty then, peg legs ahoy!

So our final group:

Human Sorcerer (Djinni Bloodline I believe)
Human Rogue (Duelist)
Human Ranger (Freebooter)
Human Gunslinger
Vanara Druid (Aquatic)

I'm still mulling over my bloodline. I feel like Seaborn might be a more optimal pick, but I don't want to horn in on Ajani's schtick.


Jaunty Brigand Nair-do-well 1 / Upstart 3

Okay, here's my character bio. Game stats to come.

Hassan Al-Quorri ibn Salaam ibn Fakar
Male Qadiri Human Sorcerer

Description and Bio (Long):
Appearance: A young man, swarthy skinned, with sharp features, nut-brown eyes, and a tousled mop of black hair. His grin is wider than his face would seem to comfortably contain. He wears patched cotton trousers, sandals, and a sleeveless blue jerkin, embroidered with gold thread. He has a large golden hoop earring through his left ear, and a gold tooth. Detectable only under close examination is the suggestion of a goatee.

History: My father was a soldier, who rose high quickly, and was cast down even faster. The tale my mother told was that he died on his feet, surrounded by the bodies of a hundred attackers. He angered the wrong people, and sold his life dearly.

The night my father died, my mother and I fled Katheer with two camels, whatever valuables we could carry, and our lives. My mother was a good wife, from a good family, but the life of an outlaw was not one she was suited for. Within two turns of the moon what little valuables we had were gone. Within six, so was she. I never knew if she was caught by soldiers, kidnapped and sold into slavery, or simply wandered away in search of a better life.

So that was that. From the age of seven I was a street rat, a gutter rat, a wharf rat... basically any place that you find rats, there was I. But that was not my fate. No son of Fakar could spend all his life as a nobody. Destiny has a way of picking her favorite sons. At the age of twelve my magic began to manifest.

For a while I was a thief, stealing trinkets from fat merchants. Later I worked in a circus. I’ve been a smuggler, a scribe, and even a tax-collector (we all have to take jobs we don’t like, from time to time—have faith, little of the gold I collected made its way into the pockets of the Satrap). Anywhere a tricky spell or a spelling trick could fetch a warm meal and a soft bed, there was I.

I recently found myself in a bit of trouble with the city guards, and so I thought it expedient to take a job on a merchant vessel, ferrying this and that from here to there. A good, honest (mostly) life on the open sea. I’ve put in to every port from Kapatesh to Port Peril. But that was not my fate, either.

Alas, the boat was sunk. Denied the precious cargo they so desired, the pirates who attacked us decided to take a few slaves instead. And thus I find myself before you. Destiny, it seems, is not yet finished with me.

Before I end up using points I just wanted to make certain I was correct, buying one with Starfinder points allows you to play it in pathfinder society and buying one with PFS points allows you to play one in Starfinder correct?

So this is a request to Mike and the Guys if they ever find themselves with a little Free time , it would seriously be awesome to see a future blog that focuses on the Nagaji, Kitsune, Wayang, Tengu Favored Class options from classes from the Advanced Class Guide. I understand its not a priority or might not even be feasible but never hurts to ask.

Thanks in Advance.

Catechesis (Ex): If a Hellknight signifer has the Warrior
Priest feat, his Hellknight signifer level stacks
with other divine spellcasting classes for
determining the effects of those classes’
domain powers, inquisitions, and
mysteries. This doesn’t grant
any new powers or abilities.
In addition, a signifer with
the Warrior Priest feat gains
Alignment Channel (chaos)
as a bonus feat, and treats his
Hellknight signifer levels as
cleric levels when determining the
amount of damage chaotic outsiders
are either healed or dealt, and when
determining their saving throw DCs to
halve this damage.

How does that work with a class with no channel? Do they gain channels usable only for that feat equal to their PrC level?
