Firyin's page

I'm sorry, but between school and other life circumstances I'll have to bow out of this game. I enjoyed the ride and am sorry to have to go, but I would only continue to drag you guys down. Best of luck.

Can I get a quick recap of what's going on?

Sorry, the boards decided to not tell me about updates...again. I'll start getting caught up.

Firyin remains in place, but indicates they should wait.

"A good plan. Ten minutes?"

Wild empathy takes about one minute, so go ahead and shoot.

Acrobatics: 1d20 ⇒ 11

I'm surprised that's not a reflex.

Nonlethal damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Firyin takes a sharp fingernail and scratches a large x in the wall. "There. Now we know where it is."

Fury in walks over to the party and whispers "He could become a problem, he could give us up."

Firyin looks at the creaky door, raising his clawed hands and nodding to Nivel.

Firyin strips off the armor, quickly putting it on Gris.

Knowing the narrow cooridoor won't let him help, Firyin moves to the other door and waits by it.

Ohhh, peaking around like he already saw us peaking. My bad, I misunderstood that.

Firyin lets his unlocked door stay closed, holding onto the bars. Me motions for everybody else to get inside their cells and close their doors.

I'm going to wait until he's next to me then burst out and try to subdue him.

Once Nivel slips out of his cell Firyin watches the door, knowing he has the best view.

Perhaps I can make use of this 'journey' to crack that dwarf's head.

Oh no, I don't have my equipment. If only I could function without that...

Firyin wakes up, brows lowering at their surroundings. He gets calmer when told this is part of the initiation process, although he's still royally ticked off. He listens to the other cells, seeing that others aren't controlling their anger quite as well. Firyin smells the water, taking just a sip to see if anything is in it.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

Firyin bows his head for a moment, and once the others begin to eat he joins them, eating a little of everything.

Maybe a bluff or sleight of hand to hide us trying to detect poison?

You can use perception to smell it to detect poisons, although they might notice.

Firyin waits for a few others, bringing up his own reason quietly. "There are forces beyond our control and comprehension, I wish to learn as much of them as I can."

Firyin rises early and spends some time in the outskirts by the wilderness before coming to the Ranger's Lament. Appropriate name for the situation.

Still here, things just seem to be dragging a bit.

"Yes. There is quite a bit of interest in the 'living god'." Firyin shifts his weight, not trusting himself to say more without losing his temper.

I'm very busy with finals coming up, sorry for the lack of posting.

"Yes." Firyin answers shortly.

Firyin is about to open his mouth again to say something, but checks himself. He nods, slowly drawing his sword and going to a knee, offering the blade up in both hands. "I offer my sword arm to Him, if you would have me."

He confuses who has the ill-gotten wealth. "I simply have nothing to give." He shows his very simple armor and weapons. He's halfway through opening his mouth when he shuts it. Not the time.

Firyin says nothing, appearing to be distracted while he moves subtly to watch the two gray robes cultists, making sure nobody in the party gets pickpocketed.

Stop yer whining... Sticks and stones and shivs a needles, but not words. Words have a different power."

"Words raise the sticks and stone to cast down those that are ill spoken of." He glares at the dwarf, and all the friendly edge is gone from his voice. A raw nerve has definitely been struck in him. "I will always be a slave to them so long as I wear this skin."

~Later~

Firyin watches the church for a minute. "We should give a donation, it would help cement our facade."

Firyin follows Nivel. "I could use a drink as well. If they allow lowly half-breeds at the bar." His tone is unusually cold.

I don't know Kyra, that one stung pretty hard. :P

Ouch.

Firyin gives a minute shake of his head to Morg, as if to say not the time for us to talk.

I AM SOOO GLAD WE HAVE A REAL PARTY FACE NOW. NO MORE 10 CHA HALF-DROW!

Firyin remains quiet, sipping his drink and subtly listening into the conversation.

Firyin gives a small grin to Griswald, laughing at the inside joke of the two of them being "disarmed".

Firyin almost jumps at the soft touch of a women, but relaxes after a moment...and not just from the healing magic. He gives Kyra a smile. "Thank you."

Firyin nods with a grunt.

Welcome to manly men doing manly things.

Oh that's right, we have Kyra to be our face now. Woo!

"Rooms enough for all of us and a hot meal."

Alright I'll hold onto it in case we run into something we don't want to touch. What kind of armor was that you were mentioning Nivel?

It would be nice to have a weapon on me, although if somebody else can use it they should take it first. Sometimes there are enemies who you don't want to attack unarmed.

But good armor I would very much appreciate.

Firyin bounds his wounds tighter in anticipation of docking. "Some fresh food would be nice."

Firyin wakes with a start, his features now returned to normal. He casts about quickly, but seeing the battle is over he relaxes. I need better armor. "What happened?"

Bruunwald, that's not true, you're thinking 3.5, where the order of natural attacks matters. It does not.

In Pathfinder, the type of natural attack (bite, claw, and so on) is what determines whether it's a primary or a secondary. And if it's a primary, it's always a primary, and if it's a secondary, it's always a secondary.

So in 3.5, claw/claw/bite meant claws were primary and bite was secondary (with a lower attack bonus). And bite/claw/claw meant bite was primary and claws were secondary (with a lower attack bonus).

In Pathfinder RPG, it doesn't matter if they're listed claw/claw/bite, bite/claw/claw, or claw/bite/claw... they're all primary, none of them are secondary, because bite attacks are primary natural attacks and claw attacks are also primary natural attacks, for all creatures*.

And it doesn't matter what order you roll them in, because they're all at the same attack bonus.

GoldEdition, for the leopard, you can roll the bite first and maybe trip, and if you trip then the claws gain the benefit of the target being on the ground. Or you can claw/claw first and then bite (though you probably wouldn't want to do it that way because attacking a prone target is easier and you'd want to try tripping it first).

* The only time primary natural attacks start to act like secondaries is when you're combining manufactured weapon attacks with your natural attacks, like a lizardfolk using a bite and a club, but because we're talking about animals I'm ignoring that for now. :)

Your link didn't work, but I looked it up on my own.

Apparently the change from 3.5 to pathfinder was significant with natural weapons, which included making them OP as s&+@. I stand corrected Gris.

I might be busy later, so here's my next action as well.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

Firyin jumps to the far boat, but takes a moment to collect himself. After that he stands with both hands hooked, giving the men a deadly stare. "You were warned." The last thing the men see before the boat is enshrouded in darkness is Firyin's face becoming ursine and the wood creaking under his feet, then their world is dark and they hear a blood curdling roar.

Intimidate: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Besides, we probably won't be in melee of their entire team. Probably plenty of isolated targets.

Well if you want to fling arrows the entire fight you should have gone ranger instead of wizard ;) or just pick up precise shot anyways.

No, but hopefully it ensues some panic. Plus I get bonuses for fighting in darkness, and our wizard also has darkvision. I'm going to try and intimidate us out of this one.

The other boat. I want to jump over, cast darkness, then ensure panic.
