Warpriest Kuwabara Kasei's page

If this is done, can we mark the campaign inactive?

Can we maybe fast-forward, with GM railroading, to what the next scheduled encounter in the scenario would be, so we can at least try out combat with the revised builds as soon as we're done with them (I can update mine tonight.)

Just wanted to make sure you were not counting DR/Cold Iron against Kasei's hits -- his katana is regular steel, but bane makes it a +3 enhancement bonus which bypasses Cold Iron.

Kasei calls on his faith as he holds his katana high. Using Sacred Weapon to add +2 to the Katana, and using channel smite again.

Attack, power attack with no penalty for first, buckler penalty, bane, sacred weapon: 1d20 + 14 - 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 14 - 1 + 2 + 2 = 30
damage with bane and channel smite: 1d8 + 8 + 6 + 2d6 + 3d6 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 6 + (3, 5) + (6, 5, 1) = 42

Second attack: 1d20 + 9 - 2 - 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 9 - 2 - 1 + 2 + 2 = 12 That's a nope.

"This fiend has gone invisible! Has anyone a way to stop that?"

Lorkov, don't you have glitterdust as one of your spells known?

Can I use Dispel Magic and try to negate the invisibility?

I think Alcibie said she was going to move, so if there's room, Kasei will 5-ft-step out of Lorkov's way.

Kasei circles his opponent warily, then slashes like lightning while bellowing another gutteral kiai.

"HYAAAAAA!"

Attack, power attack with no penalty for first, bane: 1d20 + 14 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 14 - 1 + 2 = 33

Damage including bane and power attack: 1d8 + 6 + 6 + 2d6 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 6 + (3, 2) = 23

2nd Attack, power attack, bane: 1d20 + 9 - 2 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 9 - 2 - 1 + 2 = 28
confirm: 1d20 + 9 - 2 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 9 - 2 - 1 + 2 = 22 (probably not)

Damage including bane and power attack: 1d8 + 6 + 6 + 2d6 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 6 + (5, 4) = 23

extra damage if that 22 confirms: 1d8 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 6 = 13

If I had known that I would have probably used the Lunge feat, but it's too late now.

Right you are, I've been playing wrong for a long time then. Thanks! Is there room for Kasei to step to one side, avoiding giving cover to the creature?

I believe people in the way only provide soft cover to ranged attacks. Let me check for a reference. Creatures, including enemies, provide soft cover against ranged attacks only.

Forgot that Kasei would also have an iterative attack, unless she moves.

Attack 2: 1d20 + 9 - 2 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 9 - 2 - 1 + 2 = 24
Damage if that hits: 1d8 + 6 + 6 + 2d6 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 6 + (5, 4) = 28

Kasei has his katana out (never put it away). Posting my turn in advance, since I go right after the demon and I'm antsy:

Kasei's faith empowers his armor as he clasps his katana with both hands, crying, "Shizuru no hikari wa, kono akuma o hakai suru!! HYAAAAAAAA!!" as he draws positive energy to him to channel it through the weapon and devastate the fiend before him. Swift action to activate sacred armor, boosting armor by +2, which offsets loss of the shield bonus from using his buckler hand, and using channel smite with alignment channel to do more damage.

Attack, Power attack, no penalty for first two-handed attack, buckler penalty, evil-outsider bane: 1d20 + 14 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 14 - 1 + 2 = 30

Damage including bane and channel smite: 1d8 + 6 + 6 + 2d6 + 3d6 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 6 + (1, 6) + (2, 4, 5) = 34

I was coming here to suggest the same thing!

Hmm, must have not actually posted what I thought I posted. Who is she attacking, Kasei?

Knowledge(planes) to identify: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

RDN, I'm marking off one 1st-level spell given up for CLW, and one Detect Evil prepared and cast. Would it make sense to say that Kasei would have cast it as soon as he prepared it, leaving the other slot, that he was planning to prepare Detect Good in, as yet unprepared?

"Now, wait a minute," says Kasei. "There are other assurances we can make."

Kasei sits in meditation for a while, and then casts two spells he didn't have available before. Preparing two unprepared slots to cast Detect Evil and Detect Good, one after the other, in the woman's direction. This will take a while but we're waiting for the storm to die down anyway right?

"We have water that we can share, and can help you. However, just for safety, I must insist on spending at least one cure spell on you."

Kasei will cast CLW instead, but will not take no for an answer. I want to make sure she's not, say, some sort of undead, he thinks.

touch attack in case she tries to avoid it: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
damage healed (Or caused if she's undead): 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Giving up Divine Favor to cast CLW

Noticing the woman's injuries, Kasei draws his katana and salutes her, saying, "Kuwabara Kasei, samurai of Lady Shizuru. Allow me to grant you healing? "

Assuming she agrees, Cmw: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (2, 8) + 10 = 20

-Posted with Wayfinder

Strength check: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19 Kasei continues towards the open barrow, hugging the others to avoid the quicksand. "Come on!" he shouts.

Survival: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

What would it be to help her get out, another strength check?

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9 Kasei starts coughing as a bit of dust gets around his cloak.

Since everyone was able to move, Kasei won't throw them a rope, but can he throw it to Alcibie? How big is the mire, and how close can we get?

Attack roll to throw a rope to her from 15 ft away: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 8 - 2 = 24

Kasei will pull his rope out of his pack and toss one end to the people who are having trouble moving against the wind.

In this particular case, you need to make strength checks to move against the wind, so it will help even dex-based characters here.

RDN, can strong characters use a rope to help weaker ones?

Drew a line on the map to indicate Kasei's motion. I can't seem to select my character Icon to move.

Kasei yells, "Kono arashi chikushō! We need shelter!" and starts moving towards where he thinks he saw an opening into a barrow before the dust started blowing.

Kasaei pulls his cloak over his face, peering over the top of it for shelter of some sort. Perception: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (7) + 22 = 29Survival: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24 Strength check: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

Cool! Hoping for some major change to the Warpriest, right now there's little it can do that a fighter/cleric can't.

edit: How the heck did it use that old alias? lol!

Can you link to the map in the header of the campaign, please, RDN?

While waiting at the gate, Kasei engages Alcibie and Lorkov in conversation, discussing tactics and their respective powers. "I have prepared align weapon in case it is needed to pierce the defenses of the demons. For lesser demons, however, the weapons we are using would seem to be sufficient. I trust you both have the usual curing wand?"

I'm pretty sure you guys already know this, but just to make sure everyone is on the same page -- a +3 enhancement bonus will break through Cold Iron or Silver DR. Kasei's weapon will have a +3 when used against evil outsiders, and Alcibie and Lorkov will have +3 when they are raging.

Kasei buys a few weeks worth of rations, stuffing them into his capacious (bigger on the inside) haversack. He reports to the western gate, ready to go.

Updated crunch finally.

Having read The Worldwound Gambit I would think that there are animals in the Worldwound, albeit fiendish ones. I would think Purify Food and Drink ought to take care of any corruption that being fiendish would cause.

"Follow, serve, it is all one. Though the Empress of Heaven has Her differences with the Savored Sting, I have counted that lady's followers among my friends in the past."

Updated a lot of my crunch, still working on it but you can take a look in my profile.

"It neither helps nor hinders, I was simply curious." He has only a hint of a Tien accent, and speaks Taldane without any difficulty.

After taking a seat, the muscular Tien man in samurai armor draws his katana and runs a whetstone along its edge. Though the magic enhancements to the blade made it unnecessary, Kasei had long found it meditative to perform this ritual. His eyes linger on each other pathfinder, appraising their capabilities, and also appreciating each's unique appearance, as well as the ferocious beauty of the tiger accompanying the half-elf.

"The light of Shizuru will banish the dark forces that keep us from our goal. Demons, not devils. Make sure you have cold iron. I will make sure to prepare spells to give weapons a blessing from the divine. As for food and water, I will be able to purify food and create water for us, although bringing food is wise as well."

Knowledge Planes: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

The amulet of a katana on a sunburst, the symbol of Shizuru, is clearly visible on his breast. Another amulet, the symbol of the Silver Crusade, hangs beside it.

"What deities do you all serve, may I ask?"

Sounds good, I don't want to have to do lots of editing to this character while I'm at work.

How long do we have to finalize the characters?

Hmm, those are very different warpriests! Interesting.

You're right, sorry, my mistake about the AC HP. I just realized that WarPriest isn't eligible to take the Warrior Priest feat. How weird is that?

Here's the beginnings of a warpriest, with spell selection, equipment, and a bit of backstory still to come. Alternatively, if the Paladin of Baha-who? is still around, I could drop in a skald instead.

Yes, this is my boomstick warpriest.

Alt racial abilities OK?

This is a build in progress. You can see point buy and feats/class features by level in the profile.
