Sebastion 0430's page

Sorry, missed that I was up.

Sebastion steps over and attacks sailor 2, giving room for Helgash.

1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 6 + 1 = 21
damage: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 = 10

Sebastion, blocked by the sailor, tries to remove the obstruction to the officer.
attack vs sailor 3: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 6 + 1 = 18
damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Sebastion returns the favor, stepping up and attacking the officer witht the pike.
attack: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 1 = 27
confirm crit: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 6 + 1 = 19
damage: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 = 8
crit damage: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 1 = 13

Sorry, I didn't realize I was holding things up.
Sebastion steps over and attacks the sailor next to Nivian.

1d20 + 6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 6 + 1 + 2 = 28
confirm crit: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 6 + 1 + 2 = 20
damage: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 = 12
crit damage: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 = 9

lol, everyone rolled a 19 for their perception, what are the odds?

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

Sebastion attempts to finish off the wounded sailor that is attacking Ioney.

attack: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 6 + 1 = 21
damage: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 = 6

lol, Dog Soldiers, great movie.

Sebastion moves over to escape the flank and the guy above him and then attacks the sailor next to Ioney.

attack w/ FD, PA, and CE: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 5 + 1 = 22
damage: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 = 6

Merry Christmas everyone!!

I could of had infinite AC and still got wrecked.

I haven’t checked those because they are not free - but I stand corrected!

No problem, both of them together were only $5. Also, I have zero problems with anyone pointing out possible mistakes I make with character creation. I prefer accuracy over ego :)

Hey Sebastion, was looking over your character profile, and I don’t think you can be an Unchained Monk and Master of Many Styles? :/

Trevor allows the updated archetypes list for Unchained Monk from Rogue Genius Games. He has links to them on the very first Recruitment post.

Sebastion moves up and attacks one of the sailors, putting himself in the way so Nivian and Ioney can have a clear area tto get in and leaving options open to Helgash to engage whichever target he prefers.

attack w/fighting defensively, CE, & PA: 1d20 + 9 - 2 - 1 - 1 ⇒ (3) + 9 - 2 - 1 - 1 = 8
Of course

Btw, when we were outfitting ourselves for the attack, Sebastion has leather armor and a MW buckler available for any of you that might want thewm. He can no longer use them.

Leveling done and profile updated.

That night, Sebastion has vivid dreams.
Sebastion stands in an odd stance upon ancient flagstones in an open courtyard. He is in line with other young people in robes. Surrounding him are high, iceclad peaks of some large mountain range. The icy wind blows through the courtyard, cutting through his thin robes. An old, bald man in flowing robes walks down the line of students. He hold s a short baton. As he faces Sebastion, he swings the baton. Sebastion shifts his stance slightly and the baton misses. But the old man reverses, and before Sebastion can move again, the baton smacks painfully into his ribs.

"Wrong! Again." The old man says in a terse voice.
Sebastion resumes his stance, the dream fades...

That morning, when Sebastion awakes, he is left with new memories. He still does not remember anything recent, but he has regained lost abilities.

1d10 ⇒ 6

Lol, classic!

"Thay attacked me, and if I had tried to kill them, they would both be dead already." Sebastion sneers at Scourge.
In response to Ioney's query Sebastion says as he points to the body at his feet.
"Jape is unconscious, but I think I stopped the bleeding."

Sebastion expecting that Tam will tell lies and soon someone will be down here, will continue to try and stop the bleeding.

Heal: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 lol, I guess i'm only good at combat.

Let me know how many tries I get.

Sebastion allows Tam to flee and instead goes to Jape and sees if he is dead. If not, he tries to stop the bleeding.

Heal: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

I have a trait that gives me a +1 dodge bonus when I fight defensively

Now facing only one opponent, and still uninjured, Sebastion goes for more offense.

attack w/CE & PA: 1d20 + 5 - 1 - 1 ⇒ (9) + 5 - 1 - 1 = 12
1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Two on one? I don't like these odds.
Sebastion goes more defensive hoping to hold out long enough for someone to notice. Hoping to even the odds, he keeps attacking Jape.

attack, fighting defensively, PA & CE: 1d20 + 5 - 4 - 1 - 1 ⇒ (16) + 5 - 4 - 1 - 1 = 15
damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Sebastion focuses on Jape as he has a real weapon.

attack w/CE & PA: 1d20 + 5 - 1 - 1 ⇒ (10) + 5 - 1 - 1 = 13
damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

I will 5' step back in an attempt to put the hull to my back and also be against boxes so they can't flank if possible.

Sebastion reacts quickly to the planned attack, reaching out to grab Tam's dagger from him.

Disarm: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

I believe I can take the dagger with a successful disarm attempt made unarmed? If not, I could also be a steal attempt with the same numbers.

I will try and work in a way that gives me some seperation from them and keeps them in front of me. I will keep a sharp eye out for Tam to draw his dagger.

I guess I'll go pick on Conchobar...

Intimidate: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 2 = 25

Wow! A roll with double digits! Finally :)

At high levels, I somewhat agree, but at low and mid levels, especailly when facing groups of enemies, it is better. Besides, by 9th level you are either casting cures as a swift action or channeling as a swift action. Plus, a dedicated healer cleric will have a phylactery by then so an additional 2d6 healing. Too many times I have seen a frontliner go down because the healer had to choose one target for healing. Finally, it is a great defense for AoEs that target the group as you can negate a bunch of the damage taken.

Channeling, I don't really understand - beside very specific circumstances, that's simply out-of-combat healing. (which is of limited need)
Or a burst damage against undead. (which can be provided more efficiently in other forms).

Out of combat healing? I think it is far more effective in combat as you can heal all of your allies. And yes, the burst damage to undead is a big plus as well. Add to that the Purifying Channel feat and it is highly effective in combat.

Nivian Mazu wrote:

So just focusing on our situation:

For what it's worth, at level 4 Nivian picks up the healing hex, and probably at Level 9 Healers Hands - so in the long run, she will be a decent enough healer.

Nivian, I have never played a Witch, so apologies for my ignorance on the subject - do you also get access to restoration and status removal stuff?

That's a good point. A cleric is not just cure spells, but the other forms of healing as well. And Channeling is a big part as well.

I agree, if Helgash can cover DD, then a more dedictaed healer to replace Hraak would be preferable.

As for Onnello, I'm less undersatnding. Everyone knew that this first part of the adventure is a grueling period of having to take abuse with no real way to fight back. Several times the GM made a point of how it is impossible for 1st level characters to fight the ship's officers. If Onnello's characetr wouldn't put up with that while waiting for a realistic opportunity, he should never have had that character as his application. His arguing about that last encounter was also a bit annoying. It was pretty obvious to me that the fight was over and Scourge was just RP material. His own actions suggested he was aware that he was starting a new fight.

Sebastion moves up quickly between Syl and Maheem. Seeing Ioney smack Maheem in the head with a sap, Sebastion tries to finish him off with a punch.

Punch w/PA: 1d20 + 5 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (13) + 5 + 2 - 1 = 19
damage: 1d3 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Sebastion watches as they go up the stairs and then hops out of his hammock. Noticing Helgash is also awake he nudges Onnello awake.
"Something's up." He says in a lowered voice.
"Syl just led Ioney on deck, I don't trust her at all. Wake Nivian too."
He grabs his dagger and heads up after them.

Bang! Helgash opens with an immediate success!

Sebastion will go after Jack Scrimshaw (I know, he's indifferen, but he was Sebastion's first convert, so...[/ooc]

Influence Jack: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 2 = 17

sooo close...

Wow, a big flurry of posting!

Looking at the list, I think we should let Ioney pick the harder subjects (unfriendly and indifferent) and those of us with a decent Intimidate can work on the low hanging fruit (friendly). After all the friendlies are made helpful, then we can work on any indifferents that Ioney hasn't got to yet. What do you all think?

As I understand it,you want us to do all days up to day 17?

Day 13: Conchobar
SM: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
Intimidate: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 2 = 17
At least I didn't make him worse

Day 14: Conchobar again
Intimidate: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 2 = 25
Sweet! Makes up for the day before. Two categories, right?

Day 15: Finish up Conchobar
Intimidate: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 2 = 13
That should move him to helpful I believe.

Day 16: Ratline
SM: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
Intimidate: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
Also two categories, so helpful?

You said up to day 17, not inculding it right? If that's incorrect, I'll do day 17 later.

I think everyone is just dealing with the holiday.

Sebastion will start acting the tough guy I guess, as that is the only way he will influence any of these pirates. So day 11 he will try to influence Jack Scrimshaw.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27
Intimidate: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 2 = 17

Day 12 he will do the same.
Intimidate: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 2 = 14

That looks like I got him to helpful, let me know if I'm wrong.

*EDIT* No late night actions for those days.

Sebastion takes his turn, not relishing the climb.

grapple att: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (15) - 1 = 14
He easily cathes the rail of the ship. He then ties it off and begins to slide along the rope.
climb: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
climb: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
2nd round
climb: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
climb: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
RFLX SV: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
3rd round
climb: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
climb: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
RFLX SV: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Lol, of course

Again
climb: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
climb: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
RFLX SV: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
next round
climb: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
climb: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
RFLX SV: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Sebastion has a rough start, but then gets across the divide. However, just as he reaches for the rail, he is hit in the face with a big, rotten cabbage and loses his grip, falling into the water. After making his way back to the jolly boat, he tries again, this time getting across much quicker and reaching safety without falling.

Sebastion continues as before:
Swim: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
att: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (13) + 0 = 13
damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Do we get flank since there are four of us surrounding it?

Sebastion, hurting from the attacks, fights more defensively.
Sv v Poison: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
att: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (19) + 0 = 19
confirm crit: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (20) + 0 = 20
damage: 2d4 + 8 ⇒ (1, 2) + 8 = 11

Forgot swim check:
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

I didn't realize I should have made two swim checks last round.
2nd swim check: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
So I got halfway there.

Sebastion tries to come to Helgash's aid.
swim: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
He then attacks the wounded creature.
attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Maybe? They have the grappled condition after all...
damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

I just noticed that we have a great dearth of Knowledge skills. None of has Arcana, Dungeoneering, Religion, or Nature; the big four for identifying creatures...

*EDIT* I see that Nivian does have Nature.

Swim: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 lol

Sebastion tries to move to Helgash, but instead thrashes around uselessly.

I agree with Helgash, this is not a conversation I want to spend too much time on. I think we just go and take things as they come and wait for there to be an actual issue, though with this group I don't see that as becoming a problem. I am also OK with ABP, especially as it allows for cooler items, most automatically give up the belt, headband, shoulders, neck, and one ring slot for the boring stat, AC, and save items that are covered by ABP.

I think a mix of the propsals is a good idea. We use the even split method, but when certain items that Onnello referred to come up, we make exceptions. I won't be averse to not counting their cost against whoever ends up with them.

I actually like the GM's method, with some clarifcations/caveats. I think that wands, potions, and scrolls (with a few exceptions) should be considered party loot, no matter who holds them. For example, a potion of healing doesn't just benefit the user, but also the casters that now don't have to spend a spell slot to cast the healing. Same goes for most buff potions, scrolls, and wands. As for secondary items, yes they get used, but not often, and it denies gold to those other characters that need it to upgrade their existing weapons and armor. Besides, this is only an issue when we decide to make a loot split where we can sell items. The problem with using the method Onnello suggested is that by mid levels there tends to be a huge disparity in individual equipment. Melee characters have much more expensive equipment on average.

Helgash said, "Take what is useful, sell the rest, save X% for party funds (maybe a ress is needed or something), split the rest giving preference to those who have less."

We are still doing that, but we are making sure that those that need actual gold get their share.

Figures I get the hard work :)

Profession(sailor): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
CON check: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

Once per day I can ignore becoming fatigued

Heal checks to help Ioney and Nivian. I'll do three nights in a row.

Heal: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Heal: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Heal: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

LOL! Well, at least I got those out of the way before combat.

Sebastion comes up on Helgash and Onnello.
"I see you've made a frined."
He says as he nods toward Lonegan.

Responding to Helgash's comment.
"I don't think we could get away with carrying our swords, I most defintely will not allow them to see I have my family sword back, but everyone is wearing knives of some sort or another. I think we can get away with those."
