Uriah Firehands's page

Uriah, rules questions are best asked in the rules questions subforum. Not because you are not welcome here, but because it is far more likely that questions will be answered there.

Thanks!

Thanks Magabeus. I asked here because of the PFS angle. Although I would allow it at my table, the RAW is pretty explicit that neither Fencing Grace nor Slashing Grace works with TWF. I imagine the designers did not consider this little-used archetype, but even if they did, RAI for this case is anyone's guess.

TL;DR I talked myself out of trying to get dex to damage via these means. It wouldn't seem cheesy to me to get it, given all the other difficulties that this build entails, but so be it.

Just checking in to make sure I'm not overlooking anything from a rules or PFS perspective... as of level 3 (w/Slashing Grace), this character should be able to either
* do TWF with his Kukri and Pistol (1/combat unless he stops to reload)
* use slashing grace to get dex to damage with the Kukri
but not both. And if I understand Slashing Grace correctly, he will not be able to get panache points for using the Kukri whenever he TWFs with the Pistol. Right?

However, he can't use the Kukri for TWF *until* level 3, because Picaroons only get TWF when one of the weapons is a light or one-handed piercing weapon. Or does the Kukri never work with TWF because Picaroon's TWF and Slashing Grace don't get along?

Thanks for the game, GM! Time for Uriah to diversify!

Uriah is on delay until/unless someone heals him up. Maybe not worth the trouble to do before finishing off the last guy.

stabilize: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (14) - 3 = 11

Uriah will take a tattoo; why not.

Uriah steps behind the green hooded figure and stabs at it with his rapier.

rapier, attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19 for piercing: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Genryl, after we wrap up could you prepare and cast masterwork transformation on my pistol?

Unless there is another means a Gunslinger can use to upgrade their pistol.

Edit: nevermind. Gunsmithing.

will save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18

Uriah moves forward, draws his pistol, and blasts it at the lone hooded figure.

pistol, attack vs. touch: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23 for piercing: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Uriah moves into the room and starts glancing all over the papers. "Whoa. What a haul. I have no idea what any of this means, but I bet Dreng will be happy about it."

DO we all have to try to make the save?

Uriah decides to stand close to Naoto as he watches the others mess with the nameplates.

profession, fencer: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

The site is being a little weird about letting posts through right now...

Uriah joins Ayla in going through all the stuff. He is not particularly methodical and doesn't even seem to be looking for anything in particular. He grins like mad at the mess they're making though. I wonder who's going to clean this up.

At the wall of names he seems to sober up a little bit and doesn't say much.

Uriah snorts under his breath as Ayla waves off Lady Mae's concerns about breaking and entering with a single comment, but says nothing more. "You doin' okay in there, Ayla?" He asks and then steps into the room.

Heads up: I may not be able to post much in the next 24-48 hours.

"Thank you so much; I think we found everything we needed."

Uriah eyes the coin, looks at Ayla, raises his eyebrows, and turns to speak with the cleric. "Who else is interred in this graveyard? Anyone auspicious?"
Trying to distract him long enough for Ayla to grab the coin

Hah, that is impressive. Mine are just a few weeks shy of two years apart.

Uriah flashes a smile at the priest. "We are here to visit the grave of someone named Arkast. Can you help us find it?"

seems I overlooked picking up a wand of CLW. GM, do you mind if I do that now? The two channels and one of Lady Mae's taps from the wand should get Uriah up to full.

Uriah exhales a sigh of relief and looks shakily at the party. "You all saved my life. Thanks. I owe you." He seems uncomfortable saying so; one gets the impression that he is not used to owing anyone anything.

Uriah makes a desperate attempt to free himself

CMB: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

And then collapses.

Uriah assessees his situation and opts for violence. He stabs at the choker with his rapier.

rapier, attack, grappled: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 6 - 2 = 12 for piercing: 1d6 ⇒ 5

I think the site update might have messed with my thread subscriptions...

"Hey! Leave the little lady alone!" Uriah shouts as he draws his rapier. He steps forward and stabs the choker with his raider.

rapier, attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10 for piercing: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Hearing the commotion, Uriah gives Naoto's hand a lighthearted squeeze, then grins at her as he squeezes down the hallway into the room. He steps out from the line and raises his pistol. He squeezes the trigger, *crack* *pop*

pistol, attack, focused aim: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7 for piercing: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

The attack resolves against touch AC, in case you're unfamiliar with pistols

Uriah raises his eyebrows and glances at Naoto when she grabs his hand. Then he gives her hand a squeeze and winks at her. For a second he hesitates, as if about to shoulder past her to get to the front, but then he shrugs and stays put, neither holding tight to her hand, nor completely releasing it. He glances at her again, with rakish, crooked smile, and then looks back towards the front of the line.

Uriah skips the board and just vaults the fissure.

Acrobatics, ACP: 10 + 8 - 1 = 17

Uriah, still soaked from his time in the rain, throws his wet hair away from his face and sits down by Janirah. "Hey, how's it going?"

Uriah smiles. "Can't be too hard to pick up a package, right?"

Wounded Wisp sounds great to me!

Yup, happy to call it.

I really don't think Uriah can do much useful from back here... I guess he could shoot over everyone's shoulder. But with soft cover and no precise shot, the odds seem so low that it doesn't seem to be worth the ammo.

Done

Uriah pulls out his pistol and waits for one of the undead to come in sight.

profession, fencer: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Uriah flashes a friendly smile at the stranger, but doesn't speak.

perception, aid lady Mae: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

"Lady Mae; I think you may have missed a bit right here..."

Sorry for my absence; I was moving over the last few days.

Uriah eyes the hole, backs up, and then casually leaps over it.

acrobatics, ACP: 10 + 8 - 1 = 17

Uriah reloads his pistol, musses his hair, and takes one of the healing potions.

Uriah reloads his pistol and blasts at the Minotaur again.

pistol, inspired, focused aim: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 1 = 20 for piercing: 1d8 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 1 + 4 = 13

you can't normally take 10 in combat. Does Lady Mae have an ability that lets her do otherwise?

Uriah steps up to the edge of the ledge and levels his pistol at the Minotaur's chest. With the look of excitement replaced by focus and grim determination, he squeezes the trigger and a blast of fire shoots out at the Minotaur.

pistol, inspired, focused aim: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 5 + 1 = 24 for piercing: 1d8 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 4 = 7
3/4 grit points remaining

Uriah grins to himself in excitement. He draws his pistol as he closes with the beast.

Well hello there, mysterious stranger!

Uriah seems stunned by indecision; as if he can't decide to obey orders or play the hero...

I have played this mission a bunch of times; I'll defer to the rest of the party on our course of action

Survival: 1d20 ⇒ 20

Uriah has 7 damage and is poisoned. Can Janira make it all better?

Uriah strides up to Janira and displays some of his spider bites. "Do you have anything in your bag for these?"

Happy New Year!

Also, BUMP

Uriah steps closer, pulling out his last acid flask, and tosses it at the spiders.
