Should I switch to my level 11 alchemist? He can do traps, and it seems we're weighted heavily toward martials at the moment.

I think I need to update after her last mission. FYI, she's a melee beatstick oracle, riding a huge celestial megaloceros. Her mount has Greater Overrun, so if she knocks someone over with Overrun, everyone riding gets an AoO!

Interested in high tier, possibly with my level 10 Mammoth Rider, if you think my mount would fit for much of it.

I didn't think that MR size inrease stacks with animal growth. It just improves the stat difference.

What feats did you take on your Hunter?

Not a Hunter. Here's the build, for the rider and mount.

Dot

GM Tyranius, do you know if this special would accommodate a huge-sized mount? I'd like to bring my Mammoth Rider, but if not, I also have a level 10 monk, and a level 11 bomber alchemist (we already have one of those, but mine also has trapfinding).

Oops, forgot about this:

"Well fought, friends. May Aroden's blessings reach you."

Friedel and Benzyl let loose on the undead before them.

Attacking pink first, then orange when pink drops. If I still have attacks left after they both drop, go after red.

Greatsword+PA+FF+SP+DP: 1d20 + 15 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 15 + 2 + 4 = 36

Damage: 1d8 + 7 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 15

Benzyle tramples over one of the soldiers, moving into position to attack more of the undead.

Overrun light blue soldier, attack orange undead. Provoking AoOs from orange and pink undead as I move.

Overrun: 1d20 + 22 + 4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 22 + 4 + 2 + 2 = 43

Friedel AoO: 1d20 + 15 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 15 + 4 + 2 = 40
Damage: 2d6 + 11 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 4) + 11 + 4 + 2 = 25
Benzyl AoO: 1d20 + 15 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 15 - 2 + 2 = 24
Damage: 4d6 + 13 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (3, 3, 4, 4) + 13 + 4 + 2 = 33
EDIT: Friedel Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (14) + 21 = 35

Damage: 2d6 + 11 + 9 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (3, 6) + 11 + 9 + 4 + 2 = 35

Waiting to see the result of that attack before I take my turn...

Friedel casts a spell to bolster her strength, while Benzyl moves to the first undead creature and attacks it.

Divine Power on Friedel. Benzyl moves and attacks the pink one.

Gore: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18
Damage: 4d6 + 13 ⇒ (6, 3, 3, 6) + 13 = 31

I can have Benzyl lower his SR as a standard action, so we don't need Spell Pen checks. And I'll take those buffs, and add Barkskin for myself, and when we're ready to attack, add Shield of Faith for myself and Benzyl.

I think I've got all my buffs in my statblock, and Benzyl's in parentheses on my character sheet.

"I tried being nice. Anyone have any more... coercive methods?"

-Posted with Wayfinder

Friedel hears his words now that the fog of battle has retreated from her mind, and she addresses the priest.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 30

Friedel and Benzyl take swings at the purple creature.

Greatsword+PA+FF+SP+Bless+DP: 1d20 + 15 + 2 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 15 + 2 + 1 + 4 = 24
Damage: 1d20 + 11 + 9 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 11 + 9 + 2 + 4 = 32

Damage: 3d6 + 9 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 4, 6) + 9 + 4 + 2 = 27

Assuming that takes it out...

They then move around the rocks to join the rest of the fight.

Spell Pen for Bless: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Benzyl tramples over the light blue creature, bringing Friedel to engage with the orange one.

Overrun+SP+Bless: 1d20 + 22 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 22 + 2 + 1 = 27

Assuming that meets CMD, but may not beat it by 5. If it does, we get AoOs. No Power Attack on the AoO, just to avoid any confusion about which attack gets Furious Focus.

Once she reaches her target, Friedel lashes out against the orange creature.

Attack+PA+FF+SP+DP+Bless: 1d20 + 15 + 4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 15 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 25
Damage: 2d6 + 11 + 9 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (1, 4) + 11 + 9 + 4 + 2 = 31

Oy. Crap rolls, but I'm practically drowning in buffs, so it may be good enough for mooks.

FYI: I forgot to take Barkskin out of my stat line after the 5 hours of travel. It hasn't made a difference yet, but my AC is now updated.

Friedel casts a spell to bolster her strength, then leads Benzyl into battle.

Divine Power. Can someone move me and Benzyl up to the front line somewhere?

"Well, we have our trail. I have some minor skill in tracking, but this trail does not seem difficult."

Friedel and Benzyl unleash their fury at the blue creature. If we finish it off, 5-foot up to the red one for the rest of the attacks.

Friedel casts a spell to call on Aroden's favor, then spurs her steed on to trample one of the undead creatures.

Divine power. Benzyl doing Overrun on Green.

Overrun: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (9) + 22 = 31

If that beat his CMD by 5, he's knocked prone and we get AoOs:

Greatsword+PA+FF+DP: 1d20 + 15 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 15 + 4 = 39
Damage: 2d6 + 11 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (3, 3) + 11 + 9 + 4 = 30

I'll also hand out the following buffs:

Bash:
-Extended barkskin for +4 AC for 200 minutes.
-reinforce armaments for +1 damage and double hardness on your axe for 100 minutes.
-shield of faith for +3 AC for 10 minutes.

Gerdur:
-light on your earthbreaker for +1 damage for 100 minutes.

Too speculative at this point to burn resources IMO. I'll pass on the Stoneskin and Animal Growth.

Burning my Natural Divination to get +10 on my Linguistics check.

Linguistics: 1d20 + 18 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 18 + 10 = 35

Do I get anything other than the language from that?

Same buffs as yesterday, and casting Extended Barkskin when we reach the camp.

Friedel and her steed let loose their fury on the red creature. With her second strike, Friedel calls on the might of Iomedae. Inheritor's Smite for the second attack.

Rather than waste her time on fickle magic, Friedel spurs Benzyl onward to attack

Can't access map at work. Someone move us to an appropriate spot, preferably attacking the one grappling Gerdur. Remember I can share a space with medium creatures.

Can we tell what's going on with the wild magic stuff?

-Posted with Wayfinder

Fixed Benzyl's size on the map. Anyone can share his space without riding, since he's so large.

GM, is there enough wildlife around here that I can forage for small animals for my Natural Divination? What about birds in the sky?

Otherwise, my preparations before travel are an Extended magic vestment, defending bone, and I've still got bestow curse in my spell-storing armor.

"If we sleep for the night, we have our own spells to heal you."

Blood Biography is a good idea, assuming the body wasn't sucked completely dry. Doing that first will give us something to go on for Speak With Dead.

Heal: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5
Arcana: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

I assume we've found Rijana's lodgings, and the journals were not contained there.

"We only have one of the journals we were sent for. I'd wager that retracing the scholar's steps might lead us to the others."

Gerdur and Bash, don't forget all your buffs, including the +1 damage from when I put spells on your weapons.

Friedel spurs Benzyl on to trample over the orange undead on his way to the bone devil.

With Improved Overrun, I don't provoke, and he can't avoid. With Greater Overrun, if I knock him prone, he provokes AoOs.

Overrun+Bless+IC: 1d20 + 22 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 22 + 1 + 2 = 44

I'm assuming a 44 knocks him down. I'm not sure if he should take the prone penalty to AC on these attacks. Your call.

Friedel and Benzyl take swipes at the undead as they run rough-shod over its body.

Greatsword+PA+FF+HG+DP+Bless+IC: 1d20 + 15 + 4 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 15 + 4 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 27
Damage: 2d6 + 11 + 9 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (3, 4) + 11 + 9 + 4 + 2 = 33
Gore+PA+Bless+IC: 1d20 + 11 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 11 + 1 + 2 = 19
Damage: 3d6 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (3, 5, 2) + 13 + 2 = 25

Upon reaching the bone devil, Friedel takes a swing at it.

Greatsword+PA+HG+DP+Bless+IC: 1d20 + 15 + 4 + 1 - 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 15 + 4 + 1 - 3 + 1 + 2 = 35
Damage: 2d6 + 11 + 9 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 6) + 11 + 9 + 4 + 2 = 34

EDIT: So many buffs to remember!

FYI:

Some monsters are vulnerable to good-, evil-, chaotic-, or lawful-aligned weapons, such as from an align weapon spell or the holy magical weapon property. A creature with an alignment subtype (chaotic, evil, good, or lawful) can overcome this type of damage reduction with its natural weapons and weapons it wields as if the weapons or natural weapons had an alignment (or alignments) that matched the subtype(s) of the creature.

Unless those undead have the [evil] subtype or have specifically evil-aligned weapons, it doesn't bypass.

Friedel casts a spell to reveal the hidden bone devil, trying to avoid attacks as she does. Mnemonic Vestment to cast Invisibility Purge defensively

Concentration: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (20) + 16 = 36 vs. DC 21

Anything within 50 feet is now visible.

Benzyl starts attacking the blue devil (with PA).

EDIT: Spell Pen for Bless: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Friedel spurs her steed on to attack in an attempt to disrupt the spell, while calling on Aroden for strength for the battle.

Bash, I replied in the Discussion thread with a suggested shopping list and an issue with your level 10 feat.

-Posted with Wayfinder

I'm riding Benzyl of course. There should be plenty of room if anyone else wants to hop on.

Friedel nods in agreement. "This settlement was not said to be abandoned. I advise everyone be on guard as we go. Let us prepare for trouble."

As a matter of course, at the beginning of the day, Friedel charges up her Natural Divination revelation by examining the entrails of two small animals (her Survival is good enough to take 10 to find them), and the flight paths of birds. She also has a bestow curse stored in her armor from the day before.

She casts Extended barkskin on herself, along with magic vestment and defending bone. Her sword is drawn, and has a 4th-level continual flame on it.

She'll also cast light on Gerdur's earthbreaker, and reinforce armaments on Bash's axe. Both of those give +1 trait bonus to damage on the weapon as long as it's affected (100 minutes).

Bash, for a shopping spree, I'd go for:

+2 weapon (6k)
+1 Amulet of Natural Armor (2k)
+1 Ring of Protection (2k)
Jingasa of the Fortunate Soldier (5k)
Cracked Pale Green Prism Ioun Stone (+1 to attacks) (4k)
Cracked Pale Green Prism Ioun Stone (+1 to saves) (4k)
Dusty Rose Prism Ioun Stone (5k)
Cracked Dusty Rose Prism Ioun Stone (500)

That's 28.5k for +4 AC, +2 to attacks, +1 to damage, +1 to initiative, and +1 to saves.

Also, you know that Furious Focus only works for when you're two-handing a weapon? I'd trade it out for Weapon Specialization, personally.

"You speak as though she will not part with this information willingly. What is the nature of her relationship with the Society?"

Friedel is a well-muscled young woman, with white hair, green eyes, and a magnificent pair of feathered wings. Tongues of cold fire lick out from the sheath of her greatsword.

Outside, her steed, a gigantic elk, awaits. It almost glows with heavenly light, and bears intricate ritual scarification marking it as a gift from the Greattusk clan of Mammoth Lords. Yes, my mount has Tribal Scars.

I'll buy in on the stoneskin too. Also, isn't there a spell for stealing the contents of a book?

-Posted with Wayfinder

Should be up to date now.

A couple of things to note:

Her greatsword has heightened continual flame cast on it. That's 4th-level, CL 10, and because of my Divine Warrior trait, that gives me a permanent +1 damage with that weapon.

I can also hand out light and reinforce armaments for other people's weapons, which will give a +1 trait bonus to damage for as long as the spell lasts.

My huge mount has Greater Overrun, so if I successfully knock someone prone, everyone riding will get an AoO.

Magna, I don't really need strong jaw, but animal growth would be great for my Overrun schtick. But keep in mind my mount has SR, so casting in combat is a little iffy.

"Securing arcane tomes? You've come to the right place. You have the service of my sword, my pen, and my companion."

When I get some time later, I'll take a look at what consumables I might need for this mission before we go.

Dotting. I'll get her actual character details up some time over the holiday weekend, but she's a Cavalier 1/Nature Oracle 8/Mammoth Rider 1 with a greatsword. So she's got some buffs and support, but focuses on melee.

Dien, as a Mammoth Rider, I would love you forever if you brought a level 11 Druid, and loaded my huge celestial megaloceros up with those sweet, sweet druid buffs! Animal Growth + Strong Jaw FTW!
