Hey folks, just a heads up, I'll be at a con this weekend. So little to no posting from me from Friday on.

Shadow Lodge

If possible, we should recruit all 3 of the potentials. If the smith will also take over as one of the smaller officer duties, like Quartermaster or something, we could easily offer him officer pay. If he wont, I still think we should try and get him aboard. The crew doesn't need to know just how much we bring back from our adventures off ship.

What do you guys think?

As for the infamy, we still have a few more days here waiting on Ricketty Squib, there may be chance in that time for another roll to come up. I appreciate the delay until the end of our visit, Mr. GM.

Shadow Lodge

I know it's a broad question. Consider this like a poll. What would you listen to?

Shadow Lodge

male Husband 2/ Master of Dungeons 3/ Souless Corporate Lackey 2

I'd suggest anything that helps us go faster. We don't need to hide anything if they can't catch us.

Shadow Lodge

I think we should take option 3 in the deal. I don't think Rush would be paying much attention to the negotiations, that's why I'm not saying this in character.

Shadow Lodge

That's why your the captain, captain.

Welcome to the new paizo.com everyone. Surprised? I was.

Shadow Lodge

male Husband 2/ Master of Dungeons 3/ Souless Corporate Lackey 2

Agreed.

Problem with coming in late, I guess. I'll get them all straight, promise.

Yeah; I switched people on ya! Just let me know if you want to direct that ire at Scourge

Yes, I thought it was Scourge. He's the one I don't want near our food.

Shadow Lodge

male Husband 2/ Master of Dungeons 3/ Souless Corporate Lackey 2

I agree. I am just trying to keep it in character for me. We seemed to have stalled out in moving the story forward.

Shadow Lodge

I have an idea for a tiefling cleric of war that just wants to try and try and be apart of every time of battle that he can. I know it's a pretty bare bones concept, but I find it hard to make a full character without knowing that I'm going to get to play it. I'll flesh out any other details if you wish.

Shadow Lodge

Dotting.

Confused if this a recruitment for a new game or something else. But if it is, I want in. I want to travel from Eberron to Krynn. I want to play a warforged so badly.

Shadow Lodge

Also interested. Is this a first come, first serve situation? Because I call find of so. An evil campaign sounds awesome. I especially like the must work together part.

Shadow Lodge

male Husband 2/ Master of Dungeons 3/ Souless Corporate Lackey 2

Are we officially going to go and get the ship re-done so it looks different? If so, we should take the opportunity to really have some fun with it. Let's get a new flag for it, colored sails, everything we can afford. I'm not much of an artist (maybe some of you are), but I'll try to draw up anything we design. Thoughts?

StarFinder looks fun

I played a session at a local con recently and had a blast. Almost literally since I also had a blaster. We all had a good time. The misses likes it, and so does my brother-in-law.

I put Scourge and Plugg's gear into the loot list, adding the things Jack claimed onto his page and Rush's new amulet onto his page, all the monies onto the first page.

Sunyata, if you're curios what we're talking about, check out the link near TapTap's name to see the loot list he created (super handy).

Shadow Lodge

male Husband 2/ Master of Dungeons 3/ Souless Corporate Lackey 2

Sub, have you been updating the gear list in the loot sheet you created?

Shadow Lodge

male Husband 2/ Master of Dungeons 3/ Souless Corporate Lackey 2

Rush will happily take quarterrmaster, but would reject Captain if offered to him. Mr. GM Nayr, are you a stickler for stacking bonuses? Also, Sunyata's character maybe be able to use the bracers as well. Tap claimed Captain, the crew seems to have accepted him.

Also, I agree that we should distribute some gold to the crew. If there are 4 active players, 20% of our income to each player and 20% split amongst the crew. Opinions?

Sub, have you been updating gear (specifically gold and silver) in the poor sheet?

Shadow Lodge

male Husband 2/ Master of Dungeons 3/ Souless Corporate Lackey 2

Rush puts on the amulet. He then tells everyone else what he found about the other gear. Well, it seems Mr. Plug was well equipped. Jack, I can change the command word on the gutless if you'd like. Right now it is set to " Plugg is the best". I don't have a crossbow either. Anyone want the bracers?

Shadow Lodge

male Husband 2/ Master of Dungeons 3/ Souless Corporate Lackey 2

Hi Sunyata.

Scourge, we have him take us to the ship refitter. After that, whatever Tap and Jack want to do with him.

Well, you and Sunyata could tie it up with another name. Then it comes down to a die roll or something

Can we all agree to follow the "social checks are not to be used between players" rule? This is a particular sticking point for me as I had a lot of issues with it in 3.5 and was one of my favorite changes into Pathfinder. Not an ultimatum, but something I'd like to have.

Lots to like here, but I think I'll vote The Oncoming Storm

Clearly a master of discerning taste.

Shadow Lodge

male Husband 2/ Master of Dungeons 3/ Souless Corporate Lackey 2

So far, these are all the suggestions for ship names:

The Fare Thee Well
The Kindwind
Wave Cutter
Rosie's Psealms
Grindylow's Grandma
TapTap's Water Monkey
Rush's Collusion
Kerruk's Delusion
Cross Eye's Protrusion
Belliot's Confusion
Rosie's Lost Fiddle
The Middle Finger
The Captain Harrigan
The Oncoming Storm
Little Ship that Could
No Man's Bindings

Can we do an official vote? Sunyata included, since she'll be joining the crew soon. If we can't decide on one, hopefully we can at least narrow down the list.

I still vote for THE ONCOMING STORM

Shadow Lodge

LFG. I've played most of Rise of the Runelords, am playing Hell's Rebels and Kingmaker IRL, and Skulls and Shackles and Ruins of Azlant on the boards. Pretty open to anything else. Really want some more game time in. I check daily for updates, and I'm comfortable playing in any role needed for existing groups.

Shadow Lodge

male Husband 2/ Master of Dungeons 3/ Souless Corporate Lackey 2

I'm down for that. If we get some cool finds, all the better. Let's see what's out there.

Ain't going to lie, I like the idea of "Take whatever job we can get, legal or illegal". Smuggle when we can, ship legit if we can, full Firely sort of thing.

After joking about it, I think I'm going to play Kar as though he actually doesn't know that he isn't human. Give him some more depth as to why he is going on the trip. Also, GM Nayr, this can give you something else to throw at me later when you feel it is appropriate for the story.

Shadow Lodge

Ship combat here sounds like the ship combat in Starfinder. Note that I haven't played enough Starfinder to have done ship combat yet, just sounds like what I've heard. I'm looking forward to the freedom that I feel is coming in part 2. Also the chance to go be evil.

Shadow Lodge

male Husband 2/ Master of Dungeons 3/ Souless Corporate Lackey 2

I've never heard of such a rule, but I'll say it this way.

As a player, I'd vote yes due to the fact that it can only help me and mine. Also, it allows for a better experience for Jader. And if those are the actual stats we're talking about, it's not that big of an advantage (especially at later levels).

As a DM, I'd say heck no. You have to wait to use them when you get to those levels.

So, I fall on the YES side, but only slightly.

Sorry Rush, that's my fault. I'm always optimistic about my posting rate while on business trips, but something always seems to hijack it. I'm on my way back home now, so all will be normal soon.

Thanks guys

No need to apologize about anything. I was just checking.

Also, since it seems that we officially have ourselves a new ship, I think we should rename it. What do you guys think? I'm going to think of a few.

CON was great, super tired, excited to play.

Shadow Lodge

male Husband 2/ Master of Dungeons 3/ Souless Corporate Lackey 2

I'm fine with whatever we end up doing. Rush has no history with these men, so he's just waiting to see what happens.

Either way, I hope they don't come back to us. So as a player, is prefer they die in the end, no matter what happens between now and then .

But he does mind of both want to give up the boat, maybe let them row as far as a length of rope? That way we can haul the boat back to the ship.

Shadow Lodge

male Husband 2/ Master of Dungeons 3/ Souless Corporate Lackey 2

Rush is a man of his word, he'll happily let the island kill them.

Shadow Lodge

You know guys, I wasn't trying to stop the posting prematurely. Is everything still going okay? I think this is the longest I've seen with no one posting.

Shadow Lodge

male Husband 2/ Master of Dungeons 3/ Souless Corporate Lackey 2

Rush is having some attitude changes with his current situation. It'll culminate soon.

Also, just a heads up to everyone. I'll be attending a local CON this weekend, so I'll be offline from Friday till Sunday. Feel free to bot me. I haven't used any spells, and only my invisibility. All wands are updated with current charges on the loot sheet (which is awesome, by the way, super handy). As of this post, anyhow. I'll still be on tomorrow.

Shadow Lodge

New to PbP, but not Pathfinder. Just want to start trying something new. Willing to play AP's, scenarios, whatever. I've only played Hell's Rebel's, and a bit of Kingmaker as far as AP's go.

Shadow Lodge

Did either of these games get going? Never done PbP before and am looking for one of these games to play.

Shadow Lodge

I think major creation is the spell in mind. At the least, it is the closest I can find to fit what I have in mind. Thanks for the help.

Shadow Lodge

Does this spell exist already? For a magic item, I want to have a spell that is essentially Summon Equipment. Not arms and armor, but tools. Crowbar, fishing pool, that sort of thing. I seem to recall such a spell, but I can't seem to find anything. Anyone know of such a spell? Probably be first level conjuration

Shadow Lodge

I love the cantrip pearl. I will give the best compliment that I can. I'm going to copy+paste that into my list of homebrew items. (your name will, of course, be associated with it.)

Shadow Lodge

I have a home brewed weapon that has a 15-20 crit range, and nobody really touches it because it is a d3 with X2 damage. You get more damage out of a good long sword hit. But I also have no power gamers or min maxers. So take those sorts of players into consideration

Shadow Lodge

The only thing I would say about the primal spell feat is that I do think there is a feat out there that does this, or something similar. At least, there was in 3.5. Maybe it didn't get converted over.

Other than that, I would, personally, include force as an option.

Shadow Lodge

IMOP, the Sentinel is overpowered. Full BAB, d12 hit die and spells. It's like a over balanced Paladin.

But other than that, it the Stalwart ability, I would change the wording to "If he succeeds a saving throw" instead of "if he makes a saving throw". That's all. It is cool.

Shadow Lodge

My 2 cp's: This is a viable feat. It won't overpower anyone. In response to the specific concept of a Wizard with a full 20 BAB and full spellcasting; what crazy Wizard is going to wade into melee when he has level 9 spells available. And he gave up all of his chance at meta-magic feats to increase his BAB? Ridiculous. A fighter would still destroy him in melee combat with all of the other feats he can take (critical focus and such).

At lower levels, this could be powerful enough to take for non-martial classes (which makes it an appealing choice). However, at higher levels, a +1 won't be that powerful, especially if you've burned a feat for it (since there aren't that many feats available). I mean, heck, Bless adds a +1 to everyone within 30 feet as a 1st level spell.

As to the confusion before about whether this should increase the BAB or (let's call it) the bonus to attacks. This only really matters where it concerns CMD, CMB and prereq's for some feats.

As to the ranged focused characters (archers), this is only a maybe. I'd much rather focus on rapid shot and many shot in place of this feat.

Lastly, I'm going to ctrl+c and ctrl+v this into my homebrew materials. Full credit will of course be given to the OP. Sadly, I will not have a chance to test this out and give feedback for a while.

Shadow Lodge

You are obviously very adamant about your house rules. I haven't seen that many $%^#*(&@)'s in a while. And here's some input from someone who's been there (where there is altering the rules for realism). And after doing this and going back to RAW, they truly are balanced for play. Spell casters are powerful, but they have a ton of additional rules to be used against them as well (concentration checks and spell blights specifically).

It is all going to depend on your group. All it takes is one power gamer/min maxer and yes, he's going to take your rules and blow them apart. A Paladin/Barbarian that has no penalties to armor and can channel energy as a swift action and has all the CMB feats for free? By the by, how do you define a "martial character"? The obvious full BAB is one thing. But what if someone wants to play a combat oriented cleric? Do they also get the access to all the free CMB moves?

Some of them are fine. Like full HD per level. That one I've done myself multiple times. For d6 caster's, it is extremely useful. But I honestly think that it's going to depend on your group. If they're there for the role playing, this is fine. Encourage them to play whatever they want however they want. If they're there for the roll playing, then they are going to break this wide open.
