That would be a perform (oratory) check for a story song, and knowledge local to know what the term means

S.J : You are mistaken on how the ability works. If you are using Perform (oratory) in place of a diplomacy check, then only the bonuses you have to Perform Oratory would count. In the example above, you would not get the +3 bonus from skill focus Diplomacy. Crexis, as a better example: I am a level 2 bard, with 2 ranks in diplomacy, and 2 ranks in perform (oratory), but 0 ranks in sense motive.
I select Perform Oratory as my VP. When I would need to roll a diplomacy check, I can either use my +8 bonus in diplomacy, or my +11 in PO. For a sense motive check, I can chose to roll at +0, or at +11 from PO. So, the ranks in the two other skills are wasted, because you want to be rolling the perform check, and it's most likely going to be your highest one anyway.
As a sidenote, the alternate crafting rules out of Pathfinder Unchained are super funny to use. You do end up getting a bit less value on the pure GP side, but the little flaws and perks are great for feeling more attached to your items.

Wayward Quest Episode 17.1 - Randomly Generated Plot Hooks With the Goblin problem solved, the Party has no clear call to action.

Well, it was a nice thought. Can the party push the 4 armed ravious beast back, or is this finally the episode in which Turnip dies? This Week, On Wayward Quest!
In book 6, the party goes back in time to save themselves from the asylum. In my game, without knowing it, each of the party received a contingent breath of life to help them through the first 2 weeks of the campaign. Without it, all 5 members of the party would have died at different points in book 2, and they are still trying to figure how what happened. If they don't figure it out when they do actually go back, then I'm going to ramp up the inevitable fight for causing additional time paradoxes
The party needs someone who has access to restoration/lesser restoration. My party had a huge slog through book 3, after they tpk'ed in one of the dream quests, and had a hell of a time getting rid of the madnesses.
Specifically that Slings do the same damage across weapon sizes. We don't know if that is true for all weapons
Just as a side note, my players are now terrified of hellwasp swarms. Across 5 PC's, the party took a total of 86 DEX Damage, and had to heal it with many, many lesser restorations.
And the Crowd goes wild! Can anyone stop (Name Redacted)'s Killing Spree? We'll find out once the other bracket catches up!
Yes,I was making a reference to my opponents name
That poor pony! *Glances both ways* Well, I guess I can't talk, I'm about to try to do the same to a halfling
Once round 1 is done, can we get a listing of the pairings?
Yes, "Some combat options (Disarm and sunder). Grapple is not one of those
Yes, but it's not a melee attack, it's a Combat Maneuver check. If it was just a melee attack, then you could use it as an AoO, or a swashbuckler could parry it. Flanking specifically only gives you a bonus on melee attacks, which the core rulebook defines as quoted above.
But flanking isn't a bonus on attack rolls. It's a bonus on melee attack rolls, which is a subset of attack rolls.
Where does it say that in the combat maneuvers part?
Flanking text "
Melee attack text"
Combat Maneuvers" Performing a Combat Maneuver: When performing a combat maneuver, you must use an action appropriate to the maneuver you are attempting to perform. While many combat maneuvers can be performed as part of an attack action, full-attack action, or attack of opportunity (in place of a melee attack), others require a specific action. Unless otherwise noted, performing a combat maneuver provokes an attack of opportunity from the target of the maneuver. If you are hit by the target, you take the damage normally and apply that amount as a penalty to the attack roll to perform the maneuver. If your target is immobilized, unconscious, or otherwise incapacitated, your maneuver automatically succeeds (treat as if you rolled a natural 20 on the attack roll). If your target is stunned, you receive a +4 bonus on your attack roll to perform a combat maneuver against it. When you attempt to perform a combat maneuver, make an attack roll and add your CMB in place of your normal attack bonus. Add any bonuses you currently have on attack rolls due to spells, feats, and other effects. These bonuses must be applicable to the weapon or attack used to perform the maneuver. The DC of this maneuver is your target's Combat Maneuver Defense. Combat maneuvers are attack rolls, so you must roll for concealment and take any other penalties that would normally apply to an attack roll." So my question. Is a grapple check a melee attack, and thus should get the flanking bonus, the prone bonus, can get parried, etc?
I'm really enjoying the trying to figure out what my opponents build is on the fly
Good Luck to All!
Just so that I can be closely watching my PMs, in how many hours would that "lunch break" be?
I'll also volunteer to not get a bye. I want as much fighting as possible
You could run with all 10, and some people just get a bye in the first round
We're getting close! Are we still missing any submissions?
Well, I originally saw this posting on the Facebook forums, so Facebook messenger might work. Other then that, Google hangouts, email?
So, my new submission is finally in. I hope those of you in the front row brought ear plugs, because any combat I'm in is going to be loud.
I think with how broken the boards have been over the last few days, it might run faster to do the combat somewhere else
1st: Conductive does not work with spells. It works with spell-like or supernatural ability that relies on a melee or ranged touch attack to hit its target (such as from a cleric’s domain granted power, sorcerer’s bloodline power, oracle’s mystery revelation, or wizard’s arcane school power). 2nd. Even if you did get a spell like ability that gave you Acid splash. That's an extra 1d3 acid on a hit.
Oh, when did Synthesis summoner get the ban? I was looking forward to killing one.
I've has a busy week, but will have my character to you by sat.
ScegF0d, I was thinking something much more tame, something like a Frostbrand that was a different type of sword then a greatsword. However, that answer works out just fine for me.
Just confirming, no custom magic items, even if they fall within the standard math?
That would also cut down on some other silly builds. I know you already nerfed it for this, but similacrum has a 12 hour casting time
Salacious: Because if your build is a one trick pony, you don't want it spoiled. For example, if you are an archer, now the next guy you fight knows to put up wind wall if they win initative
Also, I'm having some trouble with sending you a DM for some questions on how you feel some rules interactions apply. Could you possibly send me a message so that I could respond to it?
Do you mind terribly if I send in my first file of my character in a different format? I'm finding the one you have specified terribly hard to work with for character thoughts. I will send in one that complies with the requested format, but would like to get a working file in quicker, in case we hit the cap.
That sounds like a great way to open a session. What has been the most useful spell for the party so far? #TheAzlantOdyssey
