Jal Vaduva's page

Alright, Jal's definitely out of tier. And my next closest characters are all level 3 melee guys. I don't want to bring in dead weight, and I don't want to throw XP on a character that won't be applied for a long time.

My suggestion: I can shop around for a replacement player. I just don't want to waste anyone's time (mine, fellow players, our genius DM, or any of the other players who would appreciate this opportunity more than me).

If I can't find someone else eager to jump in, I'll plan on playing and just figure out how to bring some value to the group.

That sound like a plan? Again, my apologies for my own oversight that lead to this.

Do the XP/Prestige get applied immediately? Given that all my characters are so low, I'm mostly interested in advancing them.

I'll double-check on Jal. I thought I had 1 more XP to 8. Hopefully that's the case.

If not, though, my next highest character is 3. While in-Tier, I hate to bring dead-weight to the group. Is it possible to use a level 7 pregen, then apply the Chronicle to my lvl 3 guy as if it was played by that level 3 guy?

I think Jal just hit lvl 8. That doesn't level him out of this game, does it?

Thanks everyone. My apologies for the sparse posting right there at the end. :/

Assuming we have someone available to activate Jal's wand for him...

Wand of CLW, x4 charges: 4d8 + 4 ⇒ (1, 3, 6, 7) + 4 = 21; puts Jal up to 57/60.

health minus damage to Jal last round: 60 - 9 - 8 - 7 = 36

I'm good with whatever, but Jal is nearly down to half hp. He could use some time to heal up.

Boon: 1d20 ⇒ 1

Jal rushes forward, doing his best to get his teammates into favorable combat positions.

Double move; AoO's provoked from movement are against AC 26.

Okay, caught up. But, should we know what an ACG warrior is?

Also, can we assume Jal is next to the big dome thing? As he was Disable Devicing it just now? Or do I still need to rush to combat?

My apologies for my absence. Life got crazy the last two days. I'll make sure to make time to get online once or twice tomorrow

^^ nice, August!

Jal darts around the lumbering, metal beast, striking from flank before sliding to a stop.

Full round to Spring Attack — circling him to strike from flank with August, then ending in Jal’s current map square.
Mods: Studied Target, Power Attack (Furious Focus), flank, sneak attack, Shaken
+1 keen katana: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 12 + 2 + 2 - 2 = 22
damage: 1d8 + 7 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 6 + 2 = 19
sneak attack damage: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 3) = 5

NOTE TO AUGUST: a 5’ step will bring you into flank, as well. I just had to move another little bit to both attack from flank and make Spring Attack work this round.

Jal—shaken but defiant—wastes no time, throwing himself towards the nearer threat. ”What are these and how do we kill them?” he yells out as he draws his blade and slices at his foe in one smooth motion.

Swift action to make the gold/left-side baddie his Studied Target. Then move into melee (drawing katana on the way), and attack.
Mods: Shaken, Studied Target, Power Attack, Furious Focus, Sneak Attack (for beating its initiative)
katana: 1d20 + 12 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 12 + 2 - 2 = 26
damage: 1d8 + 7 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 6 + 2 = 21
sneak attack damage: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 1) = 6

if this thing’s got reach, Jal’s AC vs AoO’s provoked through movement is 26 (though i'm hoping it's flat-footed).

Will, +2 for Enchantment: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 2 = 10

Jal moves cautiously forward, trying to figure out how the device works … and if he can effect it for his team’s purposes.

Disable Device: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32

Cool. :)

For clarity, are only those three characters taking the trap damage?

Jal fumes as he watches others do his job. "How the hells am I supposed to help scout on a gods-forsaken space rock?"

On the slow ride down, Jal also takes a moment to have Ethendril help him heal up, using his own wand.
Wand of CLW, x? charges: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (8, 6) + 2 = 16; back to full

Check 1: Perception: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (9) + 18 = 27
Check 2: Acro: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27

Jal doesn’t really have any of those necessary 2 checks to help on that third check, unfortunately.

Awesome. :)

Once again, Jal darts forward, his blade flashing out at the remaining threat as he tumbles by.

Make Red Studied Target. Spring Attack it (including: Studied Target, Power Attack, Furious Focus)
+1 keen katana: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 12 + 2 = 33 <— CRIT?
Luck hex re-roll: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 12 + 2 = 24
damage: 1d8 + 7 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 6 + 2 = 21
— confirm: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 12 + 2 = 17
— add'l damage: 1d8 + 7 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 6 + 2 = 23

Do we still need to be attempting saves to be able to take actions? Or should we just post?

Here! And hopefully Jal survives his current Scenario. :)
.
Player Name: Ben Jolly
Character Name: Jal Vaduva
PFS#: 121383-1
Faction: Exchange
Initiative Bonus: +7
Perception Bonus: +18

Jal wastes no time, immediately dropping once again.
Acro, DC 15: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23
Fall damage: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 2) = 8

He lands lightly again, absorbing what damage he can before rolling to his feet. ”Ya know, this might get annoying.”

So that’s a move action to jump down again, and a move action to stand. Then I”ll spend da Swift action to make the other guy a Studied Target.

Can we tell if this effect is an Area Effect? And if so, what shape/size? It’d be good to limit how many of us they can hit with this at any given time.

Jal can end their suffering.

... not what they're looking for? :D

Will DC16: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Then the following 2...
Will DC16, #1: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Will DC16, #1: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

Jal drops, hitting the ground and rolling to his feet (ninja-style) without missing a step. He darts forward, drawing his blade as he gets the measure of the closer creature.

Double move. The first to drop, the second to move forward while drawing his blade. Swift to make Blue his Studied Target.
Acro: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32

Jal looks "down" into the strange cavern-thing. "I certainly can't fly," he mutters, hitching a thumb at Barnaby, "I'm with Smart Guy. Let's find a rock."

Jal darts around the strange creature, slashing from flank as he slides to a stop in front of it.

”Hey, there, ugly.”

With the priests down, Jal rushes to support August, circling wide to avoid any retaliations from the creature.

Double move. Jal has enough movement to circle around behind it and then step into melee ... avoiding AoO's.

Jal steps sideways, around the remaining priest and into flank. He gives a grim grin as his blade seeks the creature's blood ... or whatever it has.

5' step into flank. Full attack.
Mods: Studied Target, Flank, Power Attack, Furious Focus, Sneak Attack.
attack 1: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 12 + 2 + 2 = 24

sneak attack damage: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 1) = 2
.
attack 2: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 2 + 2 - 2 = 20

sneak attack damage: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 6) = 12

Will Save DC13: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26; +2 vs Enchantments

”AUGUST!” Jal shouts, ”GET THE STONE-CREATURE! I’LL GET THESE GODS-DAMNED PRIESTS!” Suiting action to his own words, he darts towards the closer of the two priests, hoping to neutralize them so the team can focus on the earth-creature.

Spring Attack Red, ending to its left to keep it from being able to move. (Also using a Swift to make Blue Jal’s next Studied Target)
Mods: Studied Target, Power Attack, Furious Focus
+1 keen Katana: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 12 + 2 = 34 <— CRIT?

— add’l damage: 1d8 + 7 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 6 + 2 = 16

Jal shakes off the mental assault just in time to be teleported into the fray. "Nice one, Row!"

”Let me get into position,” he yells to Lyan as he steps into place, ”THEN UNLOAD!”

He hacks wildly at it, trying to get its attention.

FREE: 5’ step
SWIFT: make the earth-thing (Guecubu?) a Studied Target
FULL ATTACK: the earth-thing.
Mods: Studied Target, Flank, Power Attack, Furious Focus, Sneak Attack

Will Save, Round 1: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22Woot!

Jal struggles to shake off the effects, finally gaining some traction.

I see that I can put off taking Iron Will no longer. :/

Will Save DC15: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10; +2 vs Enchantments

Looks like a 'no' on that. Dang.

"Let's leave them alone. Save our blades for whatever's next."

"Let's do it," adds Jal as he begins to move forward, watching the two creatures. Making them his Studied Targets. He looks over at August with a wink, "Ya never know, we may still get our chance to beat on someone here."

"Oh good," Jal snarks at the announcement, "More good news from our esteemed leaders."

Preparing for whatever calamity will come next, the Varisian takes a moment to size the giant up, listening for deception or threats. "Smart Guy's right," he yells up at her, "We're not planning on going anywhere just yet."

The giant is now Jal's Studied Target, and he'll use Perception / Sense Motive to see if there's anything up.
Perception: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (2) + 18 = 20; +2 if Studied Target is appropriate
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 9 + 2 = 20

The Channel brings Jal to 54.
Wand of CLW, x charges: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Jal takes a moment to bring himself back to full capacity as he listens to the discussion. ”My blade’s not adamantine.” He gives August a nod, ”Shout if you need us.”

Wait! If Haste is in effect, both of those above get a +1!

Reflex 1, DC 17: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
Reflex 1, DC 19: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

Sigh

Jal still falls short .. .and sprints off!

Will DC 19: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11; +2 vs enchantments.
Acro DC 23: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26

Jal bolts like a rabbit.

Can we Aid Another for the main climber on both checks? If so...
Climb, DC 10: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
Survival: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

It'll wound Jal's (significant) pride, but Barnaby and Lyam leading is likely our best option. Jal will sulkily take up the third slot. If Perception were more important, I'd push for Jal, but Barnaby's a good fit for our current needs. :)

As both drakes hit the ground, Jal walks over and gives them a booted kick. ”Can we stop a moment and appreciate the fact we just killed two space dragons? Who else can say that?”

As they look down into the pit, he looks over at the two women in the group, ”Ether of you still able to do that flying trick? I can try the climb, but I figure … why waste the effort if we have a better solution?”

Jal can head down. Climb +8; Survival +5 (+8 for Tracking), unless there’s someone who’s stronger at both. But if we can get one person down, do we have enough rope between the whole group to make a 300ft knotted rope for easier climb for everyone else? Jal has 50ft.

Or we could take the fast route … and just jump and use our free Society-given trinket that grants Feather Fall. :D

Oh, then here's Jal's adjusted actions...

"Nice!" Jal shouts as the first drake falls. Finding himself in a disadvantageous position given the remaining creature's reach, Jal rushes out into the open, switching weapons as he goes.

Move into the open (tumbling to try to avoid AoO's; if that fails, Jal's AC is 26 vs the triggered AoO), drawing shortbow on the way. Then sheath his katana.

Acro to Tumble: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25

Jal notes Ethendril's healing as he slides to a stop. Comet dust sprays up into the air, ricochets off the wall, and becomes a cloud he ducks into to avoid the second drake's attack. "Wait your turn," he grunts as he reverses direction and makes a second pass at his first target.

Spring Attack on Blue. The movement (I think) provokes an AoO from Red vs an AC 26.
Acro: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22
.
+1 keen katana: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 12 + 2 = 19
damage: 1d8 + 7 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 6 + 2 = 22

SA-WEET!

Jal grins as he rushes forward, gaining momentum as his kapenia flares out behind him in the air. He launches himself skyward, rocketing right under the drake’s belly as he lashes upwards with his blade.

SPRING ATTACK! (mods: Studied Target, Power Attack, Furious Focus)
Acro: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25; (divided by 4, doubled b/c of gravity) = 12 ft vertical height gained = success!
.
+1 katana: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 12 + 2 = 34 <— CRIT
damage: 1d8 + 7 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 6 + 2 = 23
— confirm: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 12 + 2 = 15
— add’l damage: 1d8 + 7 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 6 + 2 = 20

Are we still low-gravity? And if we are, can Jal use Spring Attack with a jump to—quite literally—spring up past the drake-thing and hit it on the way by?
