Yeah. I will stay subscribed to this campaign until the boards automatically mark it as inactive in hopes he comes back.

Where did our GM go? :-( -Posted with Wayfinder
With gargoyles blocking her view of her original target and more of them closing in, Shon'dar takes a step back and picks a new target at the far end of her bowrange. I think the others can take those closer three beasts. Crunch:

I was hoping to try a different entrance away from the gargoyles but things went too fast. And now we fight.

Yeah I also figured that as 6th level characters we had been adventuring together for a while. -Posted with Wayfinder
I was also puzzled about why Triela was next to us when she said she was by the gargoyles. I also thought we were more like 140 feet away from them. :shrug: Also, Shon'dar's assumption, in character, as well as that of most of the other party members, I imagine, is that everything in Rappun Athuk is 1) evil and 2) trying to kill you. Nothing in the lore about gargoyles implies to me that we should think these to be an exception to that general assumption (and there may indeed be exceptions). As for initiative, the GM calls for initiative whenever one or both parties have hostile intent. In this case the gargoyles must have had hostile intent, as we had not acted on our hostile intent yet. So you could have started diplomacy (a 10-round action) but the gargoyles would shred you before you finished. I also don't think there was anything wrong with your characters choice of actions, other than that from a teamwork perspective the party was strongly leaning towards a different course of action, and you forced our hand a little bit by getting close enough to trigger the gargoyles. -Posted with Wayfinder
I prefer regular initiative, but just going by posting order within blocks of allies. -Posted with Wayfinder
Woot! First combat turn posted! -Posted with Wayfinder
Shon'dar takes a breath and waits to see what her companions do. Once they have acted she takes a step forward and lets three arrows fly at the gargoyles. As she nocks and releases them in quick succession, she says to Triela, "This-- sees why--we wanted--to shoot first. There were spells I could have cast to make this easier; distance we could have put between us to give us more time before they reach us." Crunch:

Shon'dar pauses, bow held ready with a handful of arrows. "If there are no gargoyles near the entrance we choose, I will shoot no gargoyles unprovoked this day. I do not trust Gargoyles to leave us alone if we get close to them, though."
Shon'dar looks carefully around for anything that might be hidden or lurking. When Baldhus takes the key, she reacts similarly to Summer, diving away. At Summer's suggestion to shoot the gargoyles, Shon'dar says "I can do that."

I'm hoping to make it a little while before dying, but... If Shon'dar does I'll just get to make a new character. -Posted with Wayfinder
Shon'dar joins Estela for her meal. In the morning she acquires some various vials... -Posted with Wayfinder

Shon'dar joins the others at the inn, a little tired from helping so many injured people. She tells them "The temple is full of wounded people, mostly unconscious. Some of them were in a Caravan going north. They were ambushed in the night and lost consciousness. They don't know what attacked them, but it sounded like they were not civilized humanoids." She sighs and sits down, massaging her temples for a moment before asking, "Did you learn anything?"
That's fine. Shon'dar has had them for a while.
I assume that "on command" means it's a standard action--I'm not familiar with the rules for magic items in that regard. -Posted with Wayfinder
On my phone right now. If you go to the Ultimate Equipment page in the Paizo store they have a link to the changes in the product description. i can give you the gist though. Old version: you are constantly under the effect of the Falcon's Aim spell New version: you may cast Falcon's Aim 1/day with a 1-minute duration Cost is unchanged at 4k... -Posted with Wayfinder
Bracers of Falcon's Aim just got nerfed in Ultimate Equipment Errata. Will you let me either keep the old effect or swap it out for something else? -Posted with Wayfinder
"You're in Valmead, friend. Can you tell us what happened to you? Where did you come from?" -Posted with Wayfinder
Some crap happened in my life. I expect to still post daily, but it may be that I am unable to do so. Regardless, I will not be as frequent as a poster until this crap is resolved. Do not hesitate to bot me when necessary.
"There might be creatures down there that would see the light of Sarenrae if given the chance." Shon'dar says as she binds wounds and offers healing.
"How are there so many hurt people in here?" -Posted with Wayfinder
Shon'dar murmurs a prayer to the depictions of Sarenrae. "Shall we help the hurt first?" -Posted with Wayfinder
Shon'dar nods. "Although we already intend to explore Rappun Athuk, there may be people here that will pay us to do so." -Posted with Wayfinder
What is your policy on taking 10? Its not relevant to me here, since Shon'dar has an INT of 10, but I'm curious for going forward--I usually prefer to take 10 on checks I think my character is likely to succeed at. -Posted with Wayfinder
No problem. Looking forward to getting started! -Posted with Wayfinder
Sweet! I'm excited.
If the designers had intended for familiars to advance outside of what they explicitly stated, they would have included mechanics for it. Familiars are clearly supposed to be a mechanically small part of a class--as opposed to the animal companion or Eidolon features. -Posted with Wayfinder
Away for the next week or so. May still check in daily, but, bot me as needed. -Posted with Wayfinder
Yeah, I don't think familiars are supposed to advance beyond what is explicitly stated. When are we starting? -Posted with Wayfinder
Yup. Ready to go here. -Posted with Wayfinder
Yeah, familiars don't get feats and level progressions and all that because that's not their role. They're not remotely like animal companions at all. GM, level 4 sounds perfectly fair to me. I'll update my sheet soon. -Posted with Wayfinder
That sounds really powerful. Reminds me of a high level wizard spell... Can't remember what it's called. Replacing Ki Strike Magic sounds good to me. What about the Point Blank Master question? -Posted with Wayfinder
I may have to make some tweaks based on the GM's response, but I think I've got everything lined up except mundane equipment. I might swap out the cloak of Resistance so as to take full advantage of the efficient quiver. -Posted with Wayfinder
GM Zen Archer gets Point Blank Master at level 3 as a replacement for Still Mind. Old Monk got Still Mind at level 3. Unchained Monk gets it at level 4. At what level does Shon'dar get it? Zen Archer gets Zen Archery at level 3 as a replacement for Maneuver Training. Old Monk gets Maneuver Training at level 3. Unchained Monk doesn't need Maneuver Training because of full BAB. What feature does Zen Archery replace for Shon'dar? Fast Movement? Ki Strike (Magic)? A smaller Ki Pool? -Posted with Wayfinder
The other perk if starting at 6 is that I would be past the more awkward stages of my build from a crunch perspective. -Posted with Wayfinder
