Marvin Rogers's page

Ok, populated an alias.

Here's the stuff to make it easier to look at.

The slayer also gets better HP and another good save. The rogue only having good reflex is a huge weakness especially at high level.

I don't know that I'd call it gestalt since ACG doesn't actually give you nearly as much as gestalt. You give up things from each of the classes being hybridized. It's kind of a beggar's gestalt. (which is not to say I dislike the classes, many of them are quite good- slayer in particular is a reason to never play a rogue again).

Would it have to be 2 of the ACG classes or could you add other things?

I'll need to know if this is going to require sneaky or just direct action. That will determine what build I'll look into.

I would have no trouble opposing Chelish rule.

You're definitely trying to spoil me with 25 point and gestalt.

Just glad I finally got the gestalt add on to Hero Lab installed. That really does simplify stuff.

I appreciate the offer Binx. I can take on a few more games (so many of my current ones are stalled or nearly so).

I'm not fond of playing evil characters, and working for Cheliax would be that (even if my alignment wasn't personally evil). I would pass.

Yes, do let me know.

I prefer games starting higher than first, just so you know .

I'd be up for another game.

I can skip the card draw.

Been fun, but if we can't get a full group going forward, we should probably end it.

A week from today. It is always the last Thursday in November.

Oh, then we're still dirt poor. Nevermind, will need to fix my build back to poverty.

5th level WBL is supposed to be 10500 so we're definitely not going to be up to par.

7300 x 5= 36500 /4 = 9125

I'll make my purchases with that and get the new build up.

I'm waiting to find out how much stuff we have before I post my final build. The build is done up, but equipment has a large effect, so I need to know about that.

I will be away for a few days and posting may be sporadic. Bot me as needed. I will be back online regularly on Wednesday next week.

WBL for 5th level is 10.5K, I rather expect we're well below that.

Nice work on the loot list.

I will have to see how much coin we have for buying stuff. There's not much stuff which actually appeals to me on the list.

If I have enough cash I'd like to magic the my bow up to +1 and add adaptive. I would also like to get a mithril chain shirt (and make it magic if I can afford it).

Leveled up to 5th, but I'm waiting to update my profile for when I figure out what gear I will have available. No point in doing it twice.

Took iron will, and upped my strength to 12. That's really all the significant changes (other than normal advancement of skills). Also, my freebooter's bane increases to +2 which is nice.

You're saying we're level 5 now? OK, I'll work on leveling.

Don't we have anyone with intimidate?

"Oh just kill him already. He's not going to talk. "

Marvin, not being suitable for human interaction, will cover the door.

I'm down a little bit (4)

Same routine.

rapid shot, deadly aim, prone target
to hit: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13 miss
to hit: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Shoots at the prone cleric.

rapid shot, deadly aim
to hit: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
to hit: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

to no avail

will save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

fort save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

Marvin will step back from his assailant (5') and shoot.

rapid shot, deadly aim

to hit: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11 miss
to hit: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16 damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 probably a miss though

Can't tell if I can see a target.

point blank shot, rapid shot, deadly aim (target has cover)
to hit: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14 damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
to hit: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20 damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Marvin will take position as indicated.

Not that it comes as a news flash, but Marvin will maintain station in rear guard.

Get the loot and check out the next area I suppose. Not really sure what remains to be explored.

perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27 includes +1 to find traps

Will be out of town and fairly non networked, so bot me as needed. Will be back on Sunday night.

Marvin, as usual, is bringing up the rear.

"You want me to check it for traps?"

Marvin will resume his usual post.

Still here, just waiting for something to do that doesn't involve me being fried by negative energy.

"Doesn't seem safe to go in there and I can't do anything about what's trapping it so, unless the hocus pocus crowd has a solution, we might as well move on. "

"I got no idea. Not sure if it even can be disabled from out here. You're welcome to give it a looksee Triba. Maybe we can lasso the statues from out here or something. "

"Hmm, not exactly sure what to do about that. "

and he will see if he can spot what tripped the trap, or if there is any reachable way to disarm it.
perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

Is it possible to take 20 on a disable device to open it?

"I'm OK at it, but I'd feel better if we used a rope. I do have one, we just need to secure it. "

Marvin remains checking six.

perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

I'm sure I know where we are right now. The map does not appear to be updated with our current location.

Shoot some more.

rapid shot, deadly aim, freebooter's bane, inspire courage, point blank shot

to hit: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28 damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
to hit: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23 damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Marvin wil activate freebooter's bane on the target as a move action and fire once with his standard.
deadly aim, point blank

to hit: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19 damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 think it missed though

Marv will be in his customary 'watch six' position guarding the rear from whence they came.

I'm going to be pretty much netless till Sunday, perhaps Monday. Bot me as needed.

Marvin will happily assist. Any assist roll for disable device or perception to spot traps is auto.

"That went well. Gotta remember that trick. "
perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10 derp

Yes, that is the plan. Though since they are actually not a fine swarm, I can do 1/2 damage with arrows.

"Can't we just spike the door shut or something? I mean what do we have to kill a swarm with?"

OK deciding everyone could use some help, Marvin activated freebooter's bane on the northern rat and takes a single shot.

deadly aim, point blank, cover
to hit: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10 nevermind

but everyone else gets +1/+1 on the northern rat
