So, is there maintained somewhere a list of games currently in recruitment? Or is that more a matter of searching the thread?

After hearing about the doom scenario of goblin PCs wrecking everything we've held dear for months, I'm kinda tired of it. If you're worried about goblin PCs being used as a vehicle of disruption;

* Set a positive example. Play a goblin yourself that's recognizably a goblin but isn't unpleasant to play with.

* Be clear and firm about what kind of play you will not tolerate. Just be abundantly clear that "that's what my character would do" is not an acceptable reason for being annoying.

And that's all there is to it really.

rubs cheek and blinks incredulously

Sorry...?

I may build a goblin character. A champion of shelyn I think. Maybe I can overturn some stereotypes.

Yeah, it's almost always the player, I know. I just needed somewhere to vent today. Been around since season 5ish, and today was the WORST day of gaming I've had in a long time - on either side of the screen - and I needed
somewhere to lay blame. (Though I will say actually dealing with it from the other side of the screen is also unpleasant. But at least you have that option.)

Just frustrating.

Maybe it's just my new locale. I recently moved, and maybe the area just has a different style of play.

Anybody else seen an uptick in disruptive play from players who are playing goblin characters? Maybe it's just that my play style differs greatly from the style in my new location, but I don't find it particularly enjoyable to spend my time cleaning up after a character that, in pf1, would've been arrested in the first act.

Yes, a summary is fine by me. :)

Yeah, I knew it was either that or the bonus to hit after catching someone on fire. I couldn't remember which and wasn't in a position to look it up. :)

Initiative modifier is far more useful. There's no potion to get you +4 initiative for half an hour (or 20 mins or whatever). But when you need fire resistance, you need it!

I was pretty sure we were about to TPK out. That was rough. I traded away my Ifrit fire resistance. I don't remember what for, but I def missed it just now!

3 Level 1 Cure spells: 3d8 + 3 ⇒ (2, 6, 4) + 3 = 15
Good enough. (From my own wand)

"Thanks Fran. That was rough."

5ft step, draw wand, activate on self

UMD: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29
Got there!
1 Level 1 Cure spell: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
yay...

Ray, I don't see any way of doing it either. On the up side, you have IUS, so you can still attack if you do decide to drop the mace.

Kriklishik would have no idea. He doesn't have that knowledge.
He only knows that he's seen summons before. (Fran just did it, for one.) They don't stay around forever!

Up on the dias! Ah; I didn't realize that was traversable space. Very good, carry on! :)

Quick question - Did Rennec move at more than half speed? If yes, did you account for the +10 to the DC? DC, as I understand, would be CMD +14. At that rate, it looks like everybody would get an attack as he went by (unless you count Ray as being +10, Fran +12, and Thomas +14, which is certainly one reasonably way to rule it.)

Reflex: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

Kriklishik pulls his cloak up around himself and manages to avoid some of the blast. 4 damage; header updated.

Let's try one more time.

5ft step
Move Action: Gather Power
Standard: Blast Egarthis

To Hit Egarthis (Touch AC): 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 1 = 11

Damage: 2d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4, 5) + 2 + 1 = 12
Caster Level check for SR: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

Reflex Save:

DC 15 or catch fire

Burn Accumulated: 1
Gathered Power: 1
Net Burn Accepted: 0 (Must ALWAYS be zero.)

11. Heh. Probably not.

"If they're summoned up, they won't last forever. Get the masters!"

Lol, no worries. That's the first time I've used burning infusion on him, I think. The other two times I've had to move or move action or something. (Can't gather power with a wand in your hand, for example.)
I just knew it might come up, so I thought I'd get out ahead of it.

Edit: There was one, but you saved.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
Kriklishik smiles smugly.

Move action: Gather Power
Standard Action: Blast (with burning infusion)
I looked it up to be sure. He can catch fire even if he has fire resistance that negates the damage.
Linky

To Hit Black (Touch AC): 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 1 = 15

Damage: 2d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2, 2) + 2 + 1 = 7
Caster Level check for SR: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

Reflex Save:

DC 15 or catch fire

Burn Accumulated: 1
Gathered Power: 1
Net Burn Accepted: 0 (Must ALWAYS be zero.)

Darn! <10 again! I think I may just get out the dagger and aid another! Sheesh!

No smite?

Kriklishik had already moved. I didn't do the little line. Sorry!

Stow the wand, 5ft step, blast

To Hit Black Robe (Touch AC): 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 1 = 19

Damage: 2d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3, 3) + 2 + 1 = 9
Caster Level check for SR: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Burn Accumulated: 0
Gathered Power: 0
Net Burn Accepted: 0 (Must ALWAYS be zero.)

That ought to get there.

An opening!

Kriklishik moves through the space, likely provoking an attack from brown along the way.

Acrobatics: 1d20 - 7 ⇒ (19) - 7 = 12 always roll it because you never know...but I have a pretty good idea.

Then he blasts Black Robe.

To Hit Black Robe (Touch AC): 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 1 = 13

Damage: 2d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1, 3) + 2 + 1 = 7
Caster Level check for SR: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Burn Accumulated: 0
Gathered Power: 0
Net Burn Accepted: 0 (Must ALWAYS be zero.)

The dice are not happy with me today. Well, that's not true. They liked my (doomed) acrobatics check!

Kriklishik draws his wand of CLW and attempts to activate it on himself.

Nothing else to do until we get those dogs out of the way. Immune to fire sucks. Wish I had a potion of Protection from Evil right now!
(Guess what goes on the shopping list lol!)

Use Magic Device (wand): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19

Nope!

"Seems more like money and power around here, if you ask me."

There seems to be an invisible person in the room. If there is, and they threaten me, they might just get 3 op attacks and the potential to give me a negative level!

Move action: Gather Power
Standard: Blast Black Robe (Burning Infusion)

To Hit Black Robe (Touch AC): 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 1 = 16

Damage: 2d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6, 3) + 2 + 1 = 12

Reflex Save:

DC 15 or catch fire

Burn Accumulated: 1
Gathered Power: 1
Net Burn Accepted: 0 (Must ALWAYS be zero.)

A mote higher, but IDK if cover has changed now that there's another body between me and my target. (Or if it even matters! Barely missed is a relative term!)

Move action: Move to get a shot
Standard: Blast Black Robe

To Hit Black Robe (Touch AC): 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 1 = 15

Damage: 2d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5, 5) + 2 + 1 = 13
Caster Level check for SR: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
Burn Accumulated: 0
Gathered Power: 0
Net Burn Accepted: 0 (Must ALWAYS be zero.)

At a professional conference through Sunday. That said, I don't see any reason why I couldn't post with reasonable regularity.

Kriklishik looks at the keys.

Do any of them look like they might go with this lock?

Reflex: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
Reroll +4
Reflex: 1d20 + 4 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 8 = 20
looks good, checking spoiler

Phew!

Does the door appear to be trapped at a glance?

If no, i attempt to open it. Is it locked?

Try to put him out. I can move fire, but not quench it. So I'll get in there and pat him down

No.

5ft step away
Move Action: Gather Power
Standard Action: Blast (Burning Infusion)

To Hit Gray (Touch AC): 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 7 + 1 = 21

+1 if I caught him on fire, but I don't think it matters.
Damage: 2d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3, 6) + 2 + 1 = 12

Reflex Save:

DC 15 or catch fire

Burn Accumulated: 1
Gathered Power: 1
Net Burn Accepted: 0 (Must ALWAYS be zero.)

Did i miss Gray's reflex save? Because of fire starter, it matters if I set him on fire. I get +1 to my next attack.

Oh, man, I didn't realize it'd been this long! My apologies!

5ft step back
Move action: Gather Power
Standard: Blast

To Hit Gray (Touch AC): 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 17

Damage: 2d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6, 5) + 2 + 1 = 14

Reflex Save:

DC 15 or catch fire

Burn Accumulated: 1
Gathered Power: 1
Net Burn Accepted: 0 (Must ALWAYS be zero.)

Honestly, I usually just say, "you folks have spent, what, about 3 minutes in that room? So you'll have bless for the next one." If there's discussion, I'll entertain a little of it then make a call.

I don't get that granular. It breaks immersion too much.

Kriklishik takes a 5ft step down the hall, holds his hands laterally, palms up. The air takes a decidedly cold shift in the room as the space around Kriklishik shimmers like a desert mirage. Candles and torches bend toward him, and their flames seem to stretch to meet him.

"By the might of the one true god, I declare you an Apostate! Let his fires CLEANSE HIS TEMPLE!"

Move Action: Gather Power
Standard: Blast

To Hit Gray (Touch AC): 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 1 = 9

Caster Level check for SR: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

Nope. No reroll yet. Not for theatrics.

Kriklishik continues. "Don't be an idiot! We are under siege!"

"Let none through. We will check on the others. To arms! To arms!"

Kriklishik double-moves up the stairs as shown. (The transparent token is the end of the first move and also a good way to swap to the other slide.)

"Brothers! To arms! The temple is being assaulted! Quickly, guard this door!"

Bluff: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27

Kriklishik whispers, "If we're going to go in blazing" heh heh "then let's do it!"

"What do you think? Of course you're discharged! Never did a lick of work to start with, anyway."

I wonder what would happen if you cast silence on a spot of glass in a window, then broke the window right around that spot? It might cover the whole event, since the spot (and thus the silence spell) would be both in the window when it broke and at the floor when the glass landed!

(Not that I'm advocating doing that; I like this plan better!)

Fire it up!

That stable was what I meant.

Kriklishik casts spark on the alarm pull. If it doesn't burn readily, he'll do it a few times in a few places, until he's broken it.

If it DOES burn readily, he'll use fire sculptor to keep it from spreading out of reach and into the house.

"Is that a closet? Let's lock them in there for now."

Free: 5ft Step
Move: Gather Power
Standard: Blast Orange

To Hit his enemies (Touch AC): 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 1 + 1 = 12

Damage: 2d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1, 1) + 2 + 1 = 5

Reflex Save:

DC 15 or catch fire

Burn Accumulated: 1
Gathered Power: 1
Net Burn Accepted: 0 (Must ALWAYS be zero.)

eew. With cover, I probably miss.

Thanks for the Fortune, Fran! Hopefully it wasn't wasted!

Kriklishik takes a step back.

Move Action: Gather Power
Standard Action: Blast

Fortune on the Attack roll

To Hit Yellow (Touch AC): 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 1 = 13

Fortune: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 1 = 15

One of them comes to look down. “We sort of thought you meant you were training them in the yard. Are you saying they are taking over for us up here for the night?”

You forgot the +5 to intimidate from the mask, but it sounds like you are trying to do a Bluff check instead.

I figured they already believed my initial bluff. But the modifiers are the same. You can treat it like a bluff.

"I told you all, we're training. What are you still doing here? You're relieved! Get out, or I'll come up there and throw you off the wall myself!"

Intimidate: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Ugh! Do I want to use my reroll on that?

Eh, nah. If we fight, we fight.

"Eh, Mind yer business"

Intimidate: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

"Night Guard training. Apparently one o' you lot's been complaining about the rotations. Were up to me I'd just sack the lot of ya."

Bluff: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

I hope one of these keys opens that door! Or maybe Thomas...
