Sorry for the silence. We've been on vacation during my wife's spring break. I thought I'd have time to post, but we were having too much fun. We visited Saudi Arabia and Dubai. The world expo 2020 in Dubai was amazing. I return Monday night so I should be back in the game on Tuesday.
Res, answered Dr savarre's specific question. No one was infected from the wereboar fight. He did choose not to answer the general question about someone be affected by lycanthropy, that may have been implied by Dr. Savarre.
BTW - nice play on words above in your second post - he he
Did not mean to skip Leandro! The attack from the previous round hits, but does not drop the big wereboar. However, your attacks for the current round both miss.
Res's prayerwill reach the wraith as well, since it is within 40 feet. Good show.
Bolding mine. You said earlier that Prayer did reach the wraith. Either way is ok with me.
From Dr. Savarre's chest
* Were Slayer Chainmail (3,350 gp) - expanded to cover shapechangers
* Wand of Cure Light Wounds with 43 charges (645 gp)
* 5 gp tucked into the armor
From Shopping in town
- Sold Scale Mail and MW Greatsword (200 gp)
+ Purchased a cloak of resistance +1 (1,500 gp)
That nifty swarmbane clasp just cried out for a matching cloak :-)
Headband of vast intelligence: Sell. (Pat, would your doctor want this? We could sell it to him for half - i.e., the normal sale price for an item - and both he and the party would benefit).
That’s fair. He doesn’t have any cash r/n so it’ll have to be an IOU
Unacceptable - what if you die before we can collect? LOL
Ring of Protection +1 -> Does anyone want this? Res doesn't need it. Sell if no-one wants it.
Belt of Giant Strength: Leandro, woo! Never hurts to roll.
Headband of vast intelligence: Sell. (Pat, would your doctor want this? We could sell it to him for half - i.e., the normal sale price for an item - and both he and the party would benefit).
Boots of the mire: Tybalt
Swarmbane clasp: Res
Pearls of power, 2nd level: Res
+1 frost dagger: Leandro
Looks good to me. After all of this selling, how much gold do we have for shopping?
Res, I will expand the creatures covered by that armor to shapechangers, which would therefore include lycanthropes. They seem to be within the spirit of that armor.
Vampires, no. They go from humanoid to undead. Monstrous humanoid is a distinct class and I don’t see much overlap with a humanoid-turned-undead.
I have a cool idea for some Armor that Dr. Savarre can give to Res. It is within the 4000 gp budget, but it needs a rule clarification. See the spoiler below:
Elysian Bronze from Ultimate Equipment:
First crafted in the deeps of time by the titans and bestowed as gifts to monster-slaying heroes among the lesser races, Elysian bronze retains the brazen coloration of its namesake but is as hard as steel. A weapon made of Elysian bronze adds a +1 bonus on weapon damage rolls against magical beasts and monstrous humanoids; this damage is multiplied on a critical hit. After a creature uses an Elysian bronze weapon to deal damage to a magical beast or monstrous humanoid, the wielder gains a +1 bonus on attack rolls against that specific creature type (for example, against chimeras, not all magical beasts) for the next 24 hours, or until the weapon deals damage to a different kind of magical beast or monstrous humanoid.
Armor made of Elysian bronze also protects its wearer against the natural weapons or unarmed strikes of magical beasts and monstrous humanoids, providing damage reduction as if it were adamantine (1/— for light armor, 2/— for medium armor, or 3/— for heavy armor). It does not provide this protection against creatures of other types.
Elysian bronze has the same hit points and hardness as steel.
My question is, could vampires and were-creatures be considered monstrous humanoids? Each has the augmented humanoid subtype, which retains its original monster type. I don't think it is too game-breaking, as it grants DR2/- for natural weapons or unarmed strikes only.
If you say yes, then Dr. Savarre will hand Res a set of +1 Chainmail made from Elysian Bronze. The armor is inscribed with Gorum's holy symbol and it is covered with iron spikes. A name is etched on the inside, Sir Emil of Belkan. Note, for now, Res is not proficient with martial weapons so he will take a penalty for using the spikes. In hindsight, I should have given Res the martial weapon feat since Gorum clerics love their spiked armor.
The cost is 3,300 gp for the armor, 50 gp for the spiked armor and 50 gp for the Iron Eye - will figure out something else for the remaining 600 gp. Finally, I will come up with a name for the armor. Thank you for your consideration.
Res already has a ring of protection +1. He pays no heed to his low AC, he figures he can slay anything before he gets hit :-D. In practice, this has not proven to be the case :-$.
Here my bid for the belt of strength Bid Roll:1d20 ⇒ 3
Well there you go Leandro, the belt is yours. I will take Pearls of Power and the swarm clasp if no one else wants it.
My wife and I are on vacation in Athens, Greece and we will not be back for another week. For now, Res will just follow on. I may be able to squeeze in a post here or there, but I don't want to hold things up - BTW it is very hot, but we are having a great time!
I've been suoer busy at work working both day and night. Hopefully, this project is winding down its intensity and I can post more regularly. That said, I will be camping Dec 19 to 29 with little internet. So January is a better time for me. Feel free to npc as needed.
And making some decisions about how to start us off. Where we left off, the party was split - some people were meeting with the toymaker‘a assistant, while others were observing the lycanthropic transformations of Tybalt and Andrzej.
My gut inclination was originally to summarize the meeting in the cafe and dive right into the toymaker/serial killer plot. But that leaves the wererat question unresolved.
Given that Tybalt’s and Andrzej’s players are presumably not rejoining, will anyone feel cheated if I handwave their whole lycanthropy question, rather than send you all on a quest to cure some ex-PCs of lycanthropy? Curing lycanthropy is a meaningful quest when it’s a PC - but when it’s not it feels like a distraction from your main quests.
Thoughts?
I'm ok with handwaving the wererat story. Maybe the urgency of resuming the chase leads us to leave Tybalt and Andrzej with an NPC who can work on a cure. That way if either of those characters makes a return in the future, it will be easy to explain their reappearance.
Lol. Ok. Hard dates aren't working, but I did make progress. I am working towards getting things back on track. I have my computer up and functioning, and that means I have access to my digital files. I won't say tonight, and jinx it, but certainly through to the weekend we should get the ball rolling.
Don't sweat it Patrick. Post away when you are ready. Another day or two won't hurt.
Also, looks like I finally have a new job (pending what should be a successful round of drug testing). It's a company called Cokebusters. They do decoking and tube inspections. I'd be their Technical Manager.
It's not the job I was hoping for, but it's a job. And it doesn't pay nearly as much as my previous job, but it pays. And there seems to be some room for quick advancement in pay scale.
Missed this while I was preparing for my Yellowstone camping trip. Belated Congratulations!
I'm sorry to hear that. If you'd like you can send the map folio back to us and we can issue a refund.
I have cancelled your subscription and you should be receiving an email confirmation.
Thank you for the offer to return the map folio, but I will just keep it. I did receive the confirmation email for cancelling my settings subscription. Thanks.
Thanks for the notification. I have cancelled your Pathfinder Campaign Setting subscription. You should get an email that confirms this change to your account.
Thanks!
~Sharaya
the cancellation of my campaign setting did not take. I received the map folio in my July sub shipment. Can you cancel it soon before the August subs ship? Thank you
Acorn and I will be camping in Yellowstone soon. Acorn is leaving on 7/12 and I am leaving on 7/14. I'm returning 7/24 and Acorn is a few days later. Most likely we will have no internet access while camping. Please DMpc us to keep things moving. Thanks
Hello All! I have finally ventured out of the PBP corner of Paizo and decided to post around a bit. I hope all is well with ya'll. Feeling a little nostalgic for the old posting days.
Finally working my way through the Dark Tower series on Audible. (I knew that hour commute each way would come in handy some day.) 6 books down, and one to go (not counting the 8th book that came out after the end). Still undecided if I will be watching the movie once I've completed the series.
Happy Independence Day Eve AKA July 3rd to all the US FaWtLies. Long time (12,000+) posts since my last visit. Still alive, and looking forward to Starfinder.
I hope all is well with you seasoned FaWtLies as well as the new bunch since I last checked in.
