Garrush's page

For me I really didn't feel like the shield/amulet thaumaturge is working, it just feels like a lesser champion more than anything else, so I'll be going full rebuild this time, if that's ok with you?

I would like to give a try to a level 7 guardian instead, kind of following the same idea I had on a shield centric character.

I need to learn how to read

Diverse Lore: + 14

Will DC 23: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22

Recall Knowledge (diverse lore): Lore: Esoteric: 1d20 + 14 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 14 - 2 = 28

If Garrush has flanking, that hit will probably finish it off, but I'm having problems loading Google Slides right now.

Yeah, he's been flanking for a couple of rounds now.

Garrush will continue biting at the creature, hoping it finally dies.

◆ Raise Shield
◆ Strike Fangs: 1d20 + 15 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 15 + 1 = 31, Piercing: 2d8 + 4 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3, 5) + 4 + 4 + 1 = 17 + personal antithesis.
◆ Strike Fangs: 1d20 + 15 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (11) + 15 + 1 - 5 = 22, Piercing: 2d8 + 4 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (8, 1) + 4 + 4 + 1 = 18 + personal antithesis.

lol Garrush ... it has no weaknesses, so your damage is personal antithesis anyway.

Thurgan, I believe Orc Ferocity requires a reaction - if you used yours with Reactive Strike, then you don't have one for Ferocity.

I'm going to wait for Dr. Q to post and then resolve everyone at the same time. Nobody else has any way of doing cold damage? A frost vial? Cantrip deck? Something to think about for future adventures ...

Lol, I was confused about that. =)

Garrush looks at the undying creature clearly annoyed as he quickly sorts some of his esoterica trying to find the correct one to stop it from coming back from the dead.

◆ Exploit Esoteric Lore: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34
◇ Raise Shield
◆ Strike Fangs: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29, Piercing: 2d8 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 7) + 4 + 4 = 19 + weakness.
◆ Strike Fangs: 1d20 + 15 - 5 ⇒ (3) + 15 - 5 = 13, Piercing: 2d8 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (5, 6) + 4 + 4 = 19 + weakness.

↺Amulet DR 8 (if he or someone else withing range is attacked by red)

well, that should finally give me all their weaknesses, resistances and whatnot plus mortal weakness, but sadly without the anthem he misses by 1 on the attack

Threatening Approach gives frightened 2 on a success

Garrush will keep on attacking while trying to find the creatures weaknesses while at it.

◆ Exploit Esoteric Lore: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (4) + 14 = 18 (weakest save?)
◇ Raise Shield
◆ Strike Fangs: 1d20 + 15 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 15 + 1 = 36, Piercing: 2d8 + 4 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (6, 4) + 4 + 4 + 1 = 19 + weakness.
◆ Taunt

↺Amulet DR 8 (if he or someone else withing range is attacked by red)

Well, that's unexpected. Maybe Garrush found him tasty.

Well, at least we're finally flanking. Did I get mortal or personal enemy with my exploit btw?

Garrush will get he flank and try enerve the creature with a hiss and by flexing his own scales before taking another bite.

◆◆Threatening Approach Demoralize: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33
◆ Strike Fangs: 1d20 + 15 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 15 + 1 = 36, Piercing: 2d8 + 4 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (6, 1) + 4 + 4 + 1 = 16 + weakness.

↺Amulet DR 8 (if he or someone else withing range is attacked)

Well, Garrush can do no wrong this turn

Garrush will stride back to the creature and try to puncture its hard skin.

◆◆ Defensive Advance Fangs: 1d20 + 15 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 15 + 1 = 31, Piercing: 2d8 + 4 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (8, 1) + 4 + 4 + 1 = 18 + weakness.
◆ Taunt

↺Amulet DR 8 (if he or someone else withing range is attacked)

Auch, mommy!!!

Thanks to Dr. Q's song, Eureko, Thurgan and Grump are protected. Garrush, indeed, was 65' at the time. Thurgan and Grump both Succeed, no Hero Point expended.

TWWNL gets swole and hits the bulette, but the scythehand bounces off its hide.

Pei carefully lines up a shot and she puts it into nearly the perfect spot.

Thurgan moves up and smashes his axe into the bulette. Grump tries to bite, ineffectively.

Garrush, you were 65' from Dr. Q's countersong - did you want to Hero Point the nat 1? Garrush is unable to recall anything specific about the bulette, but has a personal antithesis. Both fangs miss, even with Dr. Q's inspired courage!

auch omg, yeah, I'll hero point that nat 1.

Hero Point reflex DC 26: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

Reflex DC 26: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11 or 26 from countersong. Jesus!

◆ Exploit Esoteric Lore: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23
◇ Raise Shield

◆ Strike Fangs: 1d20 + 15 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (7) + 15 + 1 - 5 = 18, Piercing: 2d8 + 4 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5, 1) + 4 + 4 + 1 = 15 + weakness.

↺Amulet DR 8 (if he or someone else withing range is attacked by the creature)

Quickened by Quatar's spell, Garrush manages to make it over the Bullet and engage it in melee.

◆◆ Stride x2
◆◆ Defensive Advance Fangs: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (9) + 15 = 24, Piercing: 2d8 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (7, 2) + 4 + 4 = 17

↺Shield Block DR 8

Garrush follows Pei and is unable to add further information about the room, so he just takes the information she gives him about how to free them in stride.

The task however seems to be too hard for the Iruxi, though with an heroic effort he manages to free the sakhils back to their home plane.

Lore: Esoteric DC 20: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19
Religion DC 26: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

Hero Point: Religion DC 26: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31 Do I even have one? I kind of lost track of them

Garrush will stride trying to open a flank on red.

◆ Exploit Esoteric Lore: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33
◇ Raise Shield
◆ Stride
◆ Strike Red Fangs: 1d20 + 15 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 15 + 1 = 22, Piercing: 2d8 + 4 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (8, 1) + 4 + 4 + 1 = 18 + weakness.

↺Shield Block DR 8 (if attacked by green)
↺Amulet DR 8 (if he or someone else withing range is attacked by red)

Garrush will change his attention to green as he flanks the warrior.

◆ Exploit Esoteric Lore: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17
◇ Raise Shield
◆ Step
◆ Strike Green Fangs: 1d20 + 15 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 15 + 1 = 18, Piercing: 2d8 + 4 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3, 4) + 4 + 4 + 1 = 16 + weakness.

↺Shield Block DR 8 (if attacked by red)
↺Amulet DR 8 (if he or someone else withing range is attacked by green)

That's some lame rolling right there

Garrush will stride anf cous his prescense on Red, trying to discern any weakpoints.

◆Stride

↺Shield Block DR 8 (if attacked by green)
↺Amulet DR 8 (if he or someone else withing range is attacked by Red)

Garrush's claws sparkle and humm, but no blast or energy ray comes forth. "Hmmm... My esoterica seems to keep this wierd abilities at bay, but its still interesting as a last resort option."

My apologies for not posting, but I was lucky enough to get my vacations going so I'll be pretty much away until next monday. Please bot me as needed.

Garrush will gladly accept the healing and thank Pei. Though he's not completely healed he agrees that it's about time to get moving before something else comes for them instead.

Poor thing...

Garrush will slide over to where yellow is, shield raised as he strikes at it twice.

◆◆Defensive Advance 1d20 + 15 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 15 + 1 = 19, Piercing: 2d8 + 4 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3, 6) + 4 + 4 + 1 = 18 + weakness.
◆Bite: 1d20 + 15 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (10) + 15 + 1 - 5 = 21, Piercing: 2d8 + 4 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (7, 5) + 4 + 4 + 1 = 21 + weakness.

↺Shield Block (Hardness 8, HP 64, BT 32)

Recovery DC 15: 1d20 ⇒ 7

I like the ♫ for when anthem is up ... I'm stealing that for my bards!

Empowerment gives a +2 per damage die, that's why it's a +4 with his striking rune

◆Second Strike damage, piercing: 2d8 + 4 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4, 5) + 4 + 4 + 1 = 18 + weakness.

Recovery check DC 15: 1d20 ⇒ 12

Garrush will try to finish up green before moving to flank pùrple.

◆ Exploit Green + Raise Shield Esoteric: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 32

◆ Taunt Yellow

↺Amulet's Abeyance (8dr/all) on Red or ↺Shield Block (8dr/64/32)

Garrush will start by exploiting red and then he'll rush in with a threatening approach (unless his RK check tells him they are inmune to mental effects).

◆Exploit Red + raise shield + RK check Esoteric Lore: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29
◆◆Threatening Approach Intimidation: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17

Garrush does not have any special vision, so he'll readily accept the light spell from Kiresh

His shield at his side and imbued with the light spell from the party's psychic, Garrush advances while carefully searching the terrain for any hazards along the way.

We have enough people defending, so I might as well search for trouble

"Halfling?, Where? asks a confused Garrush as he looks around until someone points out Thurgan.

He looks at Thurgan, then his eyes move upwards as he recalls what he knows about halflings and he frowns.

"What did I miss?" he asks to no one as he continues trying to remember if haflings are supposed to look like orcs.

"Wierd mammals..." he finally mutters.

Good point. I just remembered that thaumaturges cannot use shields unless its their implement... which is why I was going to use it in the first place before deciding to go back to amulet because the shield was going to break all the time...

Here's the fixed version. Thanks for noticing!

Garrush (Shield)

Oh! I can make his profile as well.

Live and learn!! Let's get started then, I'll fill in everything else tomorrow once I get back home.

Aha! There we go. Neat thing. Now I guess I just post the link to pathbuilder? Or should I upload him elsewhere as well?
