Rowan Kandel's page

Indeed, thanks for running, it was a great time!

Rowan moves up to get a clear shot around the thrown and then fires at the Troglodyte.

Composite Longbow, <= 30', Justice: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Damage?: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Rowan will pronounce Judgement on his foes (Justice, +1 to hit for the rest of the combat, swift action), then move back about 15 feet (just behind Rogna), most likely provoking an opportunity attack.

Assuming he's still alive after that, he'll take a shot at the croc:

Composite Longbow, <= 30', Justice: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Damage?: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Rowan moves up the stairs and out of the way, remaining exactly 30' away from the Troglodyte (his ideal range anyway).

Composite Longbow, <= 30': 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Damage?: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

"Woah friend, calm down. Nobody's getting beaten around here, at least nobody other than those Troglodytes. Let's get you out of those shackles."

Rowan takes the key from the corpse and attempts to unlock the man.

(Assuming they work...)

"There now. What's your name friend, and how did you come to be held captive by these savages?"

Rowan takes his readied shot:

Composite Longbow, <= 30': 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Damage?: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

But sadly misses.

Rowan quietly explains this to his companions, then pulls out an arrow and tries to get a clear shot at the Troglodyte once the door opens.

Rowan will use his Door Sight ability on the next door before we proceed.

"Hmm. You don't find a giant frog like this just lying around in a tower. Someone was keeping it as a pet, I don't even want to think about what they're feeding it..."

As soon as there's a clear line of sight to the frog Rowan fires a cold iron arrow at it:

Composite Longbow, <= 30': 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Damage?: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Rowan whispers "There's something in there, I just heard it step in a puddle. Nothing to do but open it I suppose, is everyone ready?".

At this point Rowan draws a fresh arrow and waits for someone to open the door.

Rowan is still investigating the altar when the bats attack, but like Izabelle takes a defensive stance, realizing that Ridley's bombs are much more well suited to handling something like a swarm.

Total Defense, AC+4

I'm fine with that plan

"Ok, so Ridley, you open the door and we all shoot it?"

Rowan will ready an attack to shoot the skeleton after the door is open (presumably we can arrange things such that nobody is actually standing in the way, which should help avoid cover penalties).

Busy now, will post Rowan's move later, but could someone seriously just hit this thing. They can't possibly be that tough.

Rowan takes a shot (blunt arrow) at the second skeleton.

Composite Longbow, <= 30', Cover: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 5 - 4 = 14
Damage?: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Knowledge (Religion) to identify: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

"Hmm. Guess they're skeletons that are on fire?"

Rowan pulls out a blunt arrow and takes a shot at the one in the doorway.

Composite Longbow, <= 30', Cover: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 5 - 4 = 21
Damage?: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 5 - 4 = 19
Crit Damage?: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (2, 2) + 4 = 8

Rowan stands back, an arrow read to shoot whatever comes flying out of the door Ridley is trying to open.

I agree, the stairs seem like a better plan than attempting to scale the outside of the tower.

We should consider checking the last room on this floor before moving on, but first let’s rest a moment to let the nausea pass.

Once the nausea has passed, Rowan will use his second Door Sight of the day on the last room.

Rowan reels from the stench of the two monsters...

DC 13 Fort Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
DC 13 Fort Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

And assuming that doesn't do terrible things to him that prevent it from working he takes a five foot step back and puts an arrow in the closest one of them.

Composite Longbow, <= 30': 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Damage?: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Rowan looks down at the lizard and sighs.

"Hmm. I'm not saying that killing wildlife is high on my list of goals for the day, but I'm also not in love with the idea of leaving unexplored rooms and dangerous creatures behind us. You never know when you need to exit a place like this in a hurry, and when you do you never know what route you might have to take. Running full tilt through a room filled with shocky mcshocker lizard is not my idea of a good time."

He then starts a quick search of the room, on the off chance that it holds something interesting to discover.

Startled somewhat by the lizard's quick reaction to the door opening, Rowan dives past it so he can set up a clear shot for next round.

Moving through the door to clear some space next to the lizard, hope whatever opportunity attack I just provoked doesn't suck!

"If he's going to go in first, let's heal him up a bit."

Rowan uses his wand of cure light wounds on Rögna.

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Yeah, it's pretty slick. I can do it 5 times per day, so 4 left.

"Hmm. It looks like a storeroom, but it's pretty wrecked. There's a dog-sized lizard with horns and green-blue scales that crackle with sparks of lightning. Not sure what our best bet is, but we're definitely going to get jumped as soon as we go through that door."

FYI, I'm not sure how well stocked everyone is on healing, but if nobody's feeling particularly tanky and we want to send Rögna in first I can burn a charge on my wand of cure light wounds.

Before anyone goes in, perhaps Cayden Cailean will grant us a bit of foreknowledge.

Rowan puts his hand to the door and uses his Door Sight ability to see what’s on the other side.

Per the lsat line of Repete's last post, we manage to climb up through the rubble, so we are already on the 2nd floor.

Oops, my mistake. Deleted that post...

"North seems reasonable to me"

Rowan slips through the door and over to the far side of the room, looking for a clear shot at the Spider.

Composite Longbow, <= 30': 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Damage?: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Rowan moves up next to the door, not blocking anyone's way, but ready to move in if Rögna finds any trouble.

"It happens to the best of us my friend!"

Rowan searches around for his lost arrows and retrieves the one that's still functional.

"Well then, to the left or the right? The right is clear, but the rubble to the left might hide some overlooked treasure if we're willing to take the time for it."

I don't actually have an opinion one way or another, and since having the archer be the first through the door seems silly I'm going to wait for someone who's more melee optimized to make the first move!

Rowan moves over into the rubble to get a clear shot at the remaining dog.

Composite Longbow Attack, <= 30': 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Damage?: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Rowan reacts instantly to the approaching dogs, shifting 5 feet to get a clear shot and then releasing his previously loaded arrow at the blue one, yelling "I knew you'd all get into trouble if I wasn't here!"

Composite Longbow Attack, <= 30': 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Rowan makes his way up, keeping his eyes peeled and a arrow nocked.

Sadly, traps aren’t really my thing either.

FYI, I'm at my brother in law's this weekend, so posting will be more sporadic than normal. If you're waiting on me for something feel free to bot.

Rowan leans his chair back against the wall, thinking. A moment later he jumps to his feet, grabs his longbow from where it had been resting, and with great gusto downs the remainder of his tankard of ale.

"Well I'm certainly not going to let the rest of you get into trouble without me!"

He quickly pays his bill, shoulders his pack, and follows his new employer out the door.

I admit, I'm having an abysmal time trying to settle on my Eidolon.

On one hand, Natural Attacks are flat out better. Without any feats or evolutions, a full attack is:

[dice=Slam Attack]1d20+3
[dice=Slam Damage]1d8+3
[dice=Claw Attack]1d20+3
[dice=Claw Damage]1d4+3
[dice=Claw Attack]1d20+3
[dice=Claw Damage]1d4+3

Shouldn't at least some of those attacks be secondary, so they get -5 to hit? I admit, I've never played with a Summoner, so I might just be misreading the rules...

Hey Izabelle, I don't want to nitpick, but I'm pretty sure the Fey Thoughts trait you're using isn't legal in PFS. The Additional Resources entry for Heroes of the Wild says:

Traits: all traits on pages 3-7 are legal for play, except fey thoughts.

I wouldn't know this except I was tempted to use it on something I was trying to put together just yesterday and it turned out to be too good to be true :(

Hi all. I'll be playing as Rowan, an archery focused Human Inquisitor in service to Cayden Cailean. He has, as you might expect, a small drinking problem and a tendency to get into trouble.
