Yeah. Between the Ninja, Vivisectionist Alchemist, Urban Ranger, Archaeologist Bard, Slayer, and Investigator, the Rogue is mostly obsolete outside of a couple niche builds.

There's also the Investigator if you want a skillmonkey Rogue.

Works for me. :-) Depending on the final ruleset, I'll make a Wizard//Ninja, a Wizard//Alchemist, or an Arcanist//Investigator.

@Marvin: If you want me to run something for you, PM me what kind of game you're looking for and preferred level range.

To reiterate one of my previous posts, I'm willing to run a custom campaign for anyone who's interested. I've done this a few times for as few as a single PC and base the game around the player's interests. For example, I used to run a solo campaign for my wife. She played a scholarly Sage Sorcerer who was trying to solve some of Golarion's great unsolved mysteries.

I was part of a short-lived campaign that had a similar idea. High point-buy, Tieflings only, randomly-assigned traits from the "variant heritage" table in "Blood of Fiends". Didn't last too long, but it was fun while it lasted.

IMO, all 18s is kind of boring and uniform. Maybe go with a high point-buy, Gestalt/Free Archetypes, or a Mythic Tier or two instead.

I agree with starting above level one. Most games start at first level and end fairly quickly, so mid-high level gameplay is rare.

I'd be interested in being notified. :-)

A fitting end to a power-hungry wannabe BBEG. Defeated by his own hubris. :-)

Also, I'd like to make an offer if anyone's interested. I occasionally run short custom campaigns for small parties (even a solo player). If you want, I can put something together for y'all. This game's been a blast, and I'd like to give back. :-)

3 cards. :-)

1d22 ⇒ 21
1d22 ⇒ 9
1d22 ⇒ 19

I'm up for either option. This has been a fun game, and I'd hate for it to die, but that seems to be the case for the majority of PbPs. :-(

I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving. :-)

Loot List is updated. If we sell everything, we'll have a total of ~9500gp.

Spellcraft take10 for a 23, then bring back to the group

How about we clear the "brown mold" room while waiting for the others to finish leveling. I should be able to kite it with ray of frost and take it down with little effort. Does that encounter need to be played out, or can we handwave it?

That means we'll have about 7300gp if we sell everything else.

Check my profile for the loot list. If we sell everything on it, we'll end up with approximately 8800gp in total.

Sorry to lose you, Eb. It's been fun.

Check my profile for the loot list. If we sell everything, we'll have approximately 8800 gp.

Updated

Spellcraft on magic sack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17 (what auras does it radiate?)

Appraise (perfect cut ruby): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15
Appraise (platinum coin): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18
Appraise (magic onyx key): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28
Appraise (Vampire book): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13
Appraise (quarter-sized turquoise gem): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25
Appraise (princess cut ruby): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19
Appraise (iron beads): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20
Appraise (cold iron beads): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17
Appraise (purple crystals): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27
Appraise (holy symbol): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18

Loot list will be under my profile shortly. I just need to research some prices. Also, if there's no objection, I'll take all the alchemicals for foci/power components.

EDIT: If we sell everything, we should net approximately 6600-6700gp before factoring in the unappraised items.

EDIT 2: Also, I'm leveled up and ready to go. I have ray of frost prepared. The only major change is that I have access to 2nd-level spells now. Also, I have all Knowledges trained now. :-)

I'm don't have computer access Tues/Thurs due to work, but tomorrow I can appraise everything and take charge of loot tracking if desired.

The only thing missing from the loot list is the fact that I have that 500gp Duergar coin. If I remember right, I'd done the appraising and told the party it was worthless. ;-)

Leveling won't take me too long: really just need to pick some spells. Also, I can handle the ray of frost need if we go back to the mold room. Just let me know.

I got nothing, sorry. Let's see if our resident face can save the day. :-)

I have a couple castings of infernal healing left as well. :-)

Binx sets about examining the Duergar bodies.

Sorry for the silence, everyone. I've been going through some schedule changes at work + just finished visiting the in-laws.

Will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Binx chuckles in derision as he easily withstands the Cleric's dark energy. Glaring at the Barbarian, he again attempts to fill him with fear.

Casting sotto voce (Will 16 or shaken for 1rd. Immune if over 4HD.)

Not a problem. :-) I'll wait until everyone else goes before posting my action, but go ahead and 5ft me wherever Dolgrin needs.

Just a reminder, a successful save makes the Duergar shaken for one round. Unless, of course, he has more than 5HD. :-)

"As I suspected, they heard us coming." Pointing a finger at the visible Duergar, Binx attempts to cloud his mind with terrible visions.

Casting cause fear (Will DC 17)

Binx starts detecting for magic auras.

It lasts 4rds total. Two were spent checking out the treasure chest + however long it takes us to open/search/reposition. If it's been 5rds, Mr Evil Puppy went *poof*

Binx nods in assent and quietly issues the necessary commands to his doggie.

Don't worry about that. :-) While no good necromancer is without a few minions, I'm focusing on debuffs, control, and summoning. No undead army for me.

RAW, whenever I animate, I need a single onyx gem of appropriate value (e.g. a 4hd creature requires one gem worth 100gp, not four 25gp gems). It's another way to keep miniomancers from easily assembling a massive undead army. Of course, if you're not worried about that, a simple houserule is to ignore the "single onyx gem" requirement and only focus on the total gp value. I'm fine with either ruling. :-)

Binx winces sympathetically as Triba suffers a nasty injury. "Bad Fido! You were supposed to set that off! No biscuit."

I should have 2rds left before Fido goes byebye if there's anything you want him to do. :-)

@Dolgrin: me gusta. :-)

Binx orders his puppy to sniff around the statues, then put its paws on the chest.

Binx will somewhat reluctantly surrender his statuettes. After the door is checked, unlocked, and de-trapped...
Binx makes the appropriate magical motions and summons a baby Hellhound (aka a Fiendish Dog).

Or I can send in a puppy. ;-)

Will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

Binx rubs his chest in annoyance. "Racist rooms irritate me. Let's move on to greener pastures."

Sorry, everyone. I've been dealing with a small pack of RL monsters. Individually, they aren't too big a deal, but together they tilt the action economy in their favor.

Binx promptly heads into the room to retrieve the statues. Dolgrin still has one, so he can save me when I set off the obligitory trap. :-)

Binx reluctantly takes one of his idols out of his pack. "It's a Dwarven protection deity. Try carrying it into the room."

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

Would it be possible to summon something and have it appear inside the room?

mage hand on the closest statue.

Affects up to 5 lbs of nonmagical items.

"Dolgrin, put on this ring. It'll help protect you."

I figure he and Triba should get first dibs on any AC-increasing gear we find. Then Marvin. Eb and myself last.

Spellcraft(ring): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20

"That would have been unpleasant, "Binx remarks as he stashes the idols in his pack. "Shall we proceed?"

Why am I not surprised. ;-)
Reflex: 1d20 ⇒ 19

Appraise (untrained): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

I'm taking them, regardless of perceived value. At least, as long as I can use them as material components later....

Binx carefully attempts to move the east statuette (not pick up, just move it slightly to get an idea of its approximate weight).
