Prince Charming II's page

Charming waves farewell to Gregaro as the Pathfinders depart, then runs back to put one more blue flower in the venture-captain's hair. "Be sure to let us know when you want us to come visit!" Sir Pricklebottom nods with a scowl on his little face.

Performance vs DC 22: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (8) + 17 = 25 (Oh good - no need to worry about how being Sickened for 1 day affects that check. XD

Apologies @GM, but I’m confused regarding the Monarch’s current elevation. The descriptive text says “they flutter towards the ground”, but the round tracker still has them as 20 ft above the ground.

Reflex, Sickened vs DC 28: 1d20 + 14 - 1 ⇒ (15) + 14 - 1 = 28

Charming stumbles on a loose rock just in time to avoid the worst of the fey’s chill. Looking up, he sees Orin fighting all by himself. “Oh, you need a friend!” he calls cheerfully. “Let me see who’s nearby!” Softly the young man starts to hum, then whistle, then finally bellow like a prima dona at Oopara’s finest theater.

(Apologies, not at my computer so I can’t update the summoned monster alias, so I’ll link the bestiary entry and roll in the same post.)

From the trees, the sound of buzzing answers. A massive wasp the size of a horse emerges from the foliage. It listens for a moment to Charming’s song, then flies around the monarch and jabs with its stinger.

Giant Wasp Stinger, IC: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 12 + 1 = 30
Piercing damage, IC: 1d12 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 1 = 13 (plus Poison - DC 19 with the Incapacitation trait)

Charming: cast lvl 4 summon animal [AAA]
Wasp: Fly [A] and Strike [A].

Will, Sickened vs DC 25: 1d20 + 13 - 1 ⇒ (11) + 13 - 1 = 23

Charming looks at the flower in his hand with wide eyes as it begins to multiply and cover his arm. “Oh, look at that Sir Pricklebottom! How beautiful!” He looks towards the sky, and the dwarf suspended by birds. “That’s the spirit!” he cheers.

Vital Beacon healing: 4d8 ⇒ (5, 1, 3, 8) = 17
Heal to Orin: 4d8 + 32 + 2 ⇒ (5, 4, 4, 4) + 32 + 2 = 51
Flat check if Stupefied vs DC 5: 1d20 ⇒ 7

Using vital beacon [A], then casting lvl 4 heal on Orin [AA].

@Thulgrun - if you want to punch something, there’s still Red on the ground. Or if you want to take to the skies (and lose your stance), just come stand next to Charming and he’ll get you airborne next round.

Reflex, Sickened vs DC 28: 1d20 + 14 - 1 ⇒ (5) + 14 - 1 = 18 Nope!
Reflex, Sickened vs DC 28: 1d20 + 14 - 1 ⇒ (5) + 14 - 1 = 18 Well, that’s unfortunate.

Reflex, Sickened vs DC 22: 1d20 + 14 - 1 ⇒ (16) + 14 - 1 = 29 Oh sure. Now we’re rolling high. XD

Charming is barely left standing after the frigid onslaught. Teeth chattering, he pulls a flower from his belt. The sight of its cheerful red color seems to bring some cheer back into his face, as does the memory of helping someone out on an early mission. Slowly he stumbles out of the foliage.

That cold resistance 1 from the Touched by the Storm boon was the only thing keeping him upright after that Crit fail. Using another boon to cast lay on hands.

Vital Beacon: 4d10 ⇒ (10, 4, 3, 7) = 24
Lay on Hands: 24 = 24

Activating vital beacon [A], casting lay on hands [A], and Stride [A]. If folks want to use the Aid tokens, I’d say either Allied Offensive or Burst of Healing.

Reflex, Sickened vs DC 22: 1d20 + 14 - 1 ⇒ (14) + 14 - 1 = 27

Charming doesn’t seem to notice the overly-friendly vegetation as he watches Qxal take to the skies. He whistles sharply, then points at the purple flower in Orin’s beard. Again the eagles swoop down from the sky - this time each grabbing the dwarf by one of his shoulders and lifting him skyward.

Casting inspire courage [A] and fly on Orin (utilizing nymph’s token to cast the touch spell at 30 ft instead) [AA].

Fortitude, Sickened vs DC 28: 1d20 + 16 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 16 - 1 = 16 How about nope
Fortitude, Sickened vs DC 28: 1d20 + 16 - 1 ⇒ (10) + 16 - 1 = 25

Charming coughs and whistles in the fog. From overhead, a pair of eagles swoop down and flap their wings in time with the tune.

Casting gust of wind towards Qxal [AA] and inspire courage [A]. Hoping that either the wind disburses the fog entirely or that it makes a “channel” of sorts that folks can breath easy in.

So if I understand correctly, the curse itself is lvl 4, so we need to purchase lvl 5 spellcasting services at 80 gp and that guarantees success. Is that correct?

Charming happily braids flowers into everyone’s hair as they prepare. He gives an especially purple one to Orin just before the team gets back up.

If possible, Charming would cast nymph’s token on Orin right before we start the next encounter. If not, he’ll try to do so on the first round of combat.

Charming lurches across the battlefield, face still deathly pale. Somehow he manages to continue squeaking out a barely-inspirational tune.

Stride [A], Stride [A], and cast inspire courage [A].

Will vs DC 25: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21

Charming's mouth falls open in shock at the vile words streaming from the little figure's lips. After gaping like a fish for a few seconds, he seems to regain his senses (though the color has drained from his face). Sharply he whistles, and from the trees descends a swarm of moths that leave a cloud of dust in their wake.

Casting inspire courage [A] and glitterdust on Green and Yellow (Reflex 25) [AA].

Charming follows after, humming a cheerful tune. A few of the smaller flowers appear to be stuck on Sir Pricklebottom’s spines - much to the hedgehog’s apparent displeasure.

Stride [A], cast inspire courage [A], and Stride [A].

Charming sings a happy song and braids flowers into Orin’s beard.

Charming sings quickly, and the nearby vegetation begins to stir. Leaves flutter. Stalks twist. And then they appear.

Slugs.

And a few snails too. The mollusks begin moving with supernatural speed, coating the ground beneath the overly-friendly tree with slimy trails of mucus before vanishing back into the underbrush.

Casting inspire courage [A] and grease under Green (Reflex 26) [AA].

“Really now Christopher, that’s uncalled for.” Charming hitched up his robes and flees from the overly-aggressive tree while whistling a fast-paced tune.

Stride [A], Stride [A], and cast inspire courage [A].

“You’ve got this!” Charming says encouragingly to Voth.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (13) + 19 = 32

“Come on now, all together - Flying high, little bird, stretch your wings now and fly…”

Performance: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (9) + 17 = 26

Grimly Sir Pricklebottom continues to punch his tiny tambourine.

Totally fine to have Dran’Thor be our primary caster.

“Oh, it’s the crown again! Hello crown!” Charming waves at the object on the half-orc’s head before turning his attention to the hedgehog on his shoulder. “Now then, Sir Pricklebottom - let’s keep everyone’s spirits up!”

Performance, Circumstance: 1d20 + 17 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 17 + 1 = 35

Grumpily the hedgehog hits his tiny tambourine.

“Of course we’ll help!” Charming agrees.

First preference would be Attunement.

Performance: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (18) + 17 = 35

Charming boosts the Timely Inspiration boon.

Fortitude vs DC 22: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (1) + 16 = 17

"WHACHOO!" Charming sniffles and wipes his nose...

Fortitude, Sickened vs DC 22: 1d20 + 16 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 16 - 2 = 23
Fortitude, Sickened vs DC 22: 1d20 + 16 - 1 ⇒ (13) + 16 - 1 = 28

...before straightening back up and singing hopefully to his friends.

Retch [A], Retch [A], and cast inspire courage.

Fortitude vs DC 22: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 19

“Oh, hellowACHOO!” Charming’s face turns red and his eyes immediately begin to water and the pollen cloud surrounds him. Desperately he tries to blow his nose…

Fortitude, Sickened vs DC 22: 1d20 + 16 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 16 - 2 = 19

…and sneezes furiously…

Fortitude, Sickened vs DC 22: 1d20 + 16 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 16 - 2 = 33

…before straightening back up and giving the two fey a dazzling smile. “Oh dear, I’m so sorry about all of that. My name is Charming - who might you be?”

Retch to reduce sickened [A] (failure), Retch to reduce sickened [A] (critical success), and cast blinding beauty (Will 26) on Red and Yellow [A].

“Oh you poor things! How long have you been there? What are your names?” Charming immediately starts fretting over the pair of birds.

Charming has the Animal Elocutionist feat, allowing him to converse with animals.

Charming looks up, his arms full of mushrooms. “Oh no! Thulgrun, your hair!” A warbling whistle summons a small flock of sparrows who deposit countless spiders on the dwarf. The arachnids quickly get to work, spinning bandage-like webs over cuts and wounds.

Lvl 4 Heal: 4d8 + 32 ⇒ (4, 3, 2, 7) + 32 = 48

Casting inspire courage [A] and heal on Thulgrun [AA].

Charming comes over to greet the new cat, but gets distracted by the dancing lights amidst the ring of mushrooms. "Oh, aren't these the best-looking mushrooms you've ever seen, Sir Pricklebottom? I'm certain Clarence and Barbara would want to try some - let's pick a few for them!"

Nature to Disable: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

Stride [A] and Disable [AA].

Dispel magic doesn’t have a heightened entry, but the fact that it makes a counteract check means its effectiveness depends on it being cast using higher and higher level spell slots (since the counteract subsystem compares effect levels against each other). It’s kinda a neat check-and-balance, but it’s not clear from the spell description that that’s what’s going on mechanically unless you’re already familiar with the counteract rules.

Charming picks his way through the fungal underbrush and flashes a blinding smile at the two cats. "Oh hello there!"

Step/Stride (uncertain if difficult terrain) [A], cast blinding beauty in a cone to catch both cats (Will 26) [A], and cast inspire courage [A].

Perception vs DC 28: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

"Are you sure it's a mushroom ring? Maybe they're coming from the sky instead..." Charming peers upward worriedly.

Charming wipes the tears from his face and goes to hug Orin. “Why would they do that?” he sniffles. “Why we’re they so bloodthirsty?” This goes on for over a minute, but when the human finally lets the dwarven warrior go Orin finds himself feeling less drained than before.

Using two charges from the staff of healing to cast restoration on Orin to reduce his Drained condition by 2.

And while Charming can treat wounds, he’s not particularly good at it - so if someone else wants to do so, just say the word!

Charming continues to cry, sparkling tears falling from his face even as Sir Pricklebottom tries to dry them.

Sustain calm emotions [A], cast inspire courage [A], and cry [F].

Fortitude vs DC 25: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 30
Fortitude vs DC 25: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 30

I’m not sure if that means no damage or half damage. If it’s half, GM can roll it and add the damage to the round tracker - it shouldn’t change Charming’s actions for this round.

Gasping for breath, Charming looks up at the bush. “Victoria… how could you…” Tears start to well up in his big blue eyes as he flees the scene, but even his bawling is musical - and oddly inspirational.

Sustain the calm emotions [A], Stride [A], and cast inspire courage [A].

Charming squeezes one more beautiful note out (or perhaps the plant squeezes it out of him) before he turns to look at it with big beautiful eyes. "Virginia... why? Why are you being so mean?"

Flat check vs DC 5: 1d20 ⇒ 10

Charming casts inspire courage [A] and a 4th level calm emotions on Pink (Will 25) [AA]. Everyone - IF PINK FAILS THE SAVE, DO NOT ATTACK PINK OR USE ANY HOSTILE ACTION AGAINST IT!

Charming continues singing, eyelashes fluttering. This time a pair of great eagles descend from the sky and hover behind him. With a single flap of their powerful wings, they create a mighty gust of wind that threatens to blow the southern bush away!

Casting inspire courage [A] and gust of wind directly south to affect Pink [AA].

"Oh my!" Charming yelps in alarm, then begins to sing. The sound is very encouraging, and draws the attention of a cloud of moths that flutter anxiously, coating the southern plants with glittering scales.

Casting inspire courage [A] and glitterdust (Reflex 25) to hit Purple and Red [AA].

"Oh, yoohoo! Clarence! Bridgette! There's a river hiding under that meadow!" Charming calls out to the other Pathfinders, a worried frown on his face. "Come back this way before you fall and twist your ankles!"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (8) + 19 = 27

"Okay, bye-bye for now!" Charming waves at the lizards before following after the rest of the Pathfinders. "Okay, where are we off to next?"

Will, Circumstance: 1d20 + 13 - 1 ⇒ (15) + 13 - 1 = 27

"Oh hello friends!" Charming grins widely at the lizards. "We're just passing through, trying to find a door. Have you seen a door? Oh, what a lovely frill you have..."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (10) + 19 = 29

"...and when we're done, Sir Pricklebottom and I can sing you another song!" he finally concludes, motioning towards the grumpy hedgehog on his shoulder who begrudgingly produces a tiny tambourine. "And we can all sing together! Here's how it goes..."

Performance: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (2) + 17 = 19
Hero Point! Performance: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (12) + 17 = 29

For what it's worth, Charming has the Glad-Hand, Group Impression, and Shameless Request feats - as well as Animal Elocutionist. XD

For selfish reasons, Charming would love to do Mission B (It Talks) at some point. He would prefer helping allies rather than mowing the lawn, but he’ll be happy either way.

Nature: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19

"What's that? Does anyone hear yodeling?"

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15

“What gasses? I don’t smell anything…”

Nature: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

“Oh, isn’t this stinging nettle? Why, it looks just like you Sir Pricklebottom!” The hedgehog appears unimpressed by the comparison.

Also took arrows for someone else to use.

Charming claps his hands delightedly. "Oh yes, we'll get to meet all sorts of new friends in the woods!"

Trailblazing sounds fine. I've both run and played other versions of this scenario, so I'll let other folks take the lead on making decisions when possible.

Charming waves farewell to Calisrio and heads over to where Urwal works. "Alright, it's time to count everyone! One, two, three..."

Society: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22

Next he finds Fola and claps delightedly. "Oh yes! One moment while I find some help!" He sings a short vocalise, and from the woods rats and spiders begin to swarm - as well as a handful of racoons. "They have such nimble little hands," the man beams proudly.

Arcana: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31

"And then we'll need some people who can fly. What do you think?" Charming holds the map from Bjersig and shows it to the flock of songbirds buzzing around his head.

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28

He waves cheerfully at Khoumrock, but the soggy dwarf waves him onward before any of the woodland creatures (or Charming himself) can injure themselves with a hammer.

Oh, and Orin answered my question about the Research task!

Charming happily accepts a picture book from Valais and finds a comfortable seat to read it out loud to his crowd of friends. "Alright, this book is called Mortimer's Massive Book of Fey. That's quite a long title, isn't it? Let's see what's on this page..."

Society: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25

A tall man with flowers in his chestnut hair stands in the middle of the camp, surrounded by a veritable swarm of songbirds, squirrels, rabbits, and other woodland creatures. He chatters away at them with a wide, open smile, only frowning occasionally as he scolds the grumpy-looking hedgehog perched on his shoulder. "Now now, Sir Pricklebottom, that's not a nice thing to say about Elinnor. Let's try to be nice to our new friends, alright?" Eventually he wanders off to help one of the faction leaders

Diplomacy to Help Calisrio: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (14) + 19 = 33

"...and I believe in you!" he finishes, smiling widely at a group of junior agents.

Charming also has the Convention boon and a GM glyph to pass out. How many “extra” hero points does that put us at? XD

Alright, profile updated and ready to roll!

Would we be open to switching to Discord to see if we could snag some players from the other table in this tier? I'm asking around locally to see if anyone would be interested, but I'm not certain how much luck I'll have.

Player: Hawthwile
Character: Prince Charming II
Class/Level: Sorcerer (nymph) 7
Perception Modifier: +11 (+2 for initiative)
PFS Number: 264524-2001
Faction: Envoy’s Alliance
Day Job Roll: Performance: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (13) + 16 = 29

Charming is a Disney prince (tm) who loves to sing and to talk to his woodland animal friends. Mechanically he’s a summoner and buffer/debuffer.

We'll be running the [5-8]'s from Season 2 locally in January, so I'd prefer to not lock myself out of any of those. That being said, I've not played #1-24 Lightning Strikes, Stars Fall. I don't have bandwidth to run a table right now (or probably well into next year), but I could join one if you all aren't sick of Charming yet. XD

”That’s the spirit Felicity - for Sebastian!” Charming’s voice is rough with emotion, but his words are clear and forceful. ”Astrid! Avenge our friend!” He sings, and his hair starts to glow before a pair of bats swoop down from the darkness and carry several strands over to Astrid.

Heal: 2d8 + 16 ⇒ (7, 6) + 16 = 29

Sustain [A] and cast Heal on Astrid [AA].

Nah, the extra 3 is already in there (50+17+8=75, +3 AoO damage gives us 78 damage).

Charming throws his head back and lets loose the warbling call as in the entrance hall.

Casting summon elemental (4th) [AAA].
