Xivio's page

I don't take it personally at all! Pathfinder is at its best imho when it's challenging and there is a risk of character death.

That said, Xivio spends the rest of the adventure standing behind everyone he possibly can! :-)

Fyi, I'll be offline until the 18th. Please bot me as needed.

Wow!!! Thanks for saving my bacon, everyone!

Xivio follows along to the right, confident that nothing could possibly go wrong.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Xivio scratches his quickly healing mosquito bites as the group continues on its way.

Looking at my inventory, I would have used a flask of Acid instead of Alchemist's Fire. Still does 1d6 dmg so hopefully doesn't matter.

While Xivio bleeds, he offers his wand of CLW to one of his comrades to heal him and stop the bleeding. Then he uses a pearl of power to recover his Burning Hands spell.

Sorry for the delay - traveling yesterday

Xivio steps out of the swarm and then blasts it with a splash of acid.

I can't actually remember if swarms are immune to the Acid Splash cantrip - I don't *think* so - but if they are, and if this is something that Xivio would know, then he'll instead retrieve and throw an Alchemist's Fire

Acid Splash ranged touch attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
acid dmg, acid as a Focus component: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Fort vs mosquito bites: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Will take my actual turn in a bit.

Not a problem for me. However, I realized that I will be offline from May 10-17 so please bot me during that time and sorry for any inconvenience. I'll post a reminder when we get closer.

Spying the swarm of mosquitos, Xivio moves forward and engulfs it with a blast of flame.

spend 1 point of Arcane Reservoir to boost the Caster level by 2 to 4

Burning Hands, fire dmg: 4d4 ⇒ (1, 1, 4, 3) = 9 DC 16 Reflex for half

Before the group enters the maze, Xivio uses his wand of Mage Armor on himself and also offers it to anyone who might need it.

Xivio agrees with the others. "Sounds like we should get down to this ceremony and see what is going on and put a stop to it!"

Hearing the sound of fighting startles Xivio out of his restful slumber. He leaps to his feat, briefly considers whether he should try to put on his armor before shaking himself fully awake and remembering that he is a wizard, and then rushes to the door.

One action to stand. One action to grab wand of magic missile. 5' step to the door.

Lol! Sometimes it's just destiny.

Taayar awakens from a lovely dream of hunting Ankylosaurus to find an annoying thing with wings making her tail itch. Roaring in annoyance she will attempt to bite it and probably part of her own tail.

[dice=Attack]1d00+5
[dice=Damage]2d6+2

Mahakala, note you rolled 1d1 on your attack instead of 1d20 :-)

Xivio snores gently, lost in dreams of strolling through a pleasant, mosquito-free, forest.

Sticking with the same spells prepped

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Nothing disturbs the rogue wizard's slumbers. Apparently wrestling with a mutant pig is surprisingly taxing.

Xivio settles in for a restful evening, certain that nothing could possibly go wrong in such a placid town...

Xivio's eyes narrow as he takes in the seen and he gazes upon the girl with a sense of pity and concern. He waits until the group is alone to relay his suspicions regarding her desperate situation.

Xivio watches the shenanigans with detached amusement, uninterested in the girl's flirtations.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (19) + 0 = 19

Knowledge Nature DC 12: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

After wrestling with the disturbing pig, Xivio is not too interested in dining on the meat offerings. Like the others he also avoids the salad greens, sticking to the mushrooms, certain that they, at least, could never intoxicate anyone...

Thanks for botting me and sorry for the posting delay - had family visiting and have been scrambling to catch up since.

1d20 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (11) - 1 + 2 = 12

@Xivio don't forget the +2 I am giving you.

I did forget. A 17 for the wizard then! :-) Btw, I'll be busy with family visiting until Saturday so please bot me as needed.

CMB: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (16) - 1 = 15

Xivio is rather surprised at how well he does on his first attempt to grab the pig.

I thought this was going to be a race - he's not really made for grappling!

Unless one of my comrades advises against it, yes.

Xivio cheers for the speedy Mahakala and his dinosaur. "Ah, what fun! I like this place..."

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Xivio too advances for the pig chase. "What could possibly go wrong?" he murmurs.

Looks like a fun time! Maybe this burg isn't the backwater I thought it was... Xivio strolls about with a smile, happy for once to have a pathfinder mission that isn't just about killing and looting.

"The tax collector was raiding your liquor cabinet?!? I'm shocked, shocked, I tell you!" Evindal smiles archly. "What did he say when you caught him? And I don't suppose he gave any indication of where he might have absconded with the town's funds? For, alas, he did not return to Magnimar with your town's taxes. I assume you have the receipts he gave you?"

Sense Motive on the mayor: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (8) + 0 = 8

Xivio agrees with Nilah. The mayor seems to be very honest and forthcoming. Good thing we can count on him.

Hope you feel better GM!

Xivio follows along with the rest of the group, enjoying the chance to stroll about in "civilization" after the long journey through the wilderness. As he walks, he eyes the village, attentive to anything interesting or noteworthy.

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

"Of course, of course, most happy to accompany you Mayor. Lovely, uh lovely village you've got here. Such luck that we've arrived just in time for the festival. What's new in town lately? Besides us, I should say..."

A festival, eh? That should give us a chance to learn more and if nothing else, it's certain to be good fun. Festivals always are, right?"

Xivio stares at the "pet" stirge in disbelief. He says nothing but his dark look suggests that he thinks the boy might do better with a puppy.

Turning his attention to the father, he tries to be polite. "So how are things in town? Any news of interest?"

Sorry for the posting delay - getting caught up after my trip.

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Just as a reminder, this is a replay for me so I'll avoid any spoilers and will take a back seat when it comes to plot decisions.

A skinny sylph fellow comes huffing and puffing up, clearly winded by the effort, and looking like a good wind could easily just blow him away. "Pathfinders, right? Sorry to be late - I knew I shoulda said no t' that last lemonade but 'tis awfully hard to resist, dontcha know. In any case, I heard some taxes have gone missing, and some people too, and if there's one thing old Xivio just can't abide, it's gold that's lost, oh and people too of course of course, but lost gold, why it's a crying shame and ye can be sure I'll do my part to ahem reunite that gold with ... well, I'm sure it'll all wind up just where it needs to be, won't it!?!"

Day Job: Craft (Locks): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

Sorry everyone - I'm on a trip and discovered that my charger wasn't working so my laptop died. Just got it sorted out and am catching up now.

I'm interested to join. I have a few characters in range but I'll offer Xivio, a level 3 wizard/rogue (but could switch to something else if needed based on party composition).

This would be a replay for me to please give the spot to someone who hasn't played it yet if you have more applicants.

Thanks!

Looks good, GM. Thanks again for running the game!

Thanks for running, GM! A very interesting scenario.

Craft (locks): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (13) + 15 = 28

Thanks for running, GM!

Due to failing their reflex save, I think the fetchling should also be on fire (1d6 fire dmg each round) from the alchemist's fire component that I added to Burning Hands.

Xivio draws his wand of magic missile and sends a bolt of force into the fetchling.

force dmg: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Xivio moves closer and then tries burning the fetchling off of the wall.

Burning Hands - I think since the fetchling is 10' up, the cone can be angled so that it doesn't hit the other Pathfinders? Using 1 point of Arcane Reservoir to boost the caster level by 2. Also using one Alchemist's Fire as a Material component.

Fire dmg: 4d4 ⇒ (3, 4, 4, 2) = 13 DC 16 Reflex for half. If save is failed, the fetchling catches fire as per Alchemist's Fire.

Since the fetchling is climbing it would ordinarily lose its Dex bonus (but might have an ability that negates that). I think even in that case sneak attack doesn't apply since Burning Hands isn't an "attack" but in case I'm wrong about that...

sneak attack if it applies: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 4) = 8

Xivio steps forward and sends a burst of colors springing forth from his hand, hoping to include the invisible fetchling in the spray.

Color Spray, 15' cone. Using 1 point of Arcane Reservoir to boost the DC by 2, making it a DC 17 Will save to negate. The effect will depend on the fetchling's hit dice.

Xivio lets a splash of acid fly from his invisible hand towards the fetchling. He is now visible but - hopefully - the villain is caught defenseless.

ranged touch attack, invis bonus, firing into melee penalty, vs flat-footed touch AC: 1d20 + 4 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 2 - 4 = 4

But his aim is terrible and the conjured acid splats harmlessly.

Now visible, Xivio decides to step backwards to ensure that the creature's claws cannot reach him.

Xivio casts Vanish on himself and enters the room as quietly as possible.

Stealth, invis bonus: 1d20 + 13 + 20 ⇒ (18) + 13 + 20 = 51

"Treasure, eh? Sounds interesting to me..." Xivio whispers to his comrades. Though some wizards are more interested in knowledge than wealth, Xivio has always been fond of gold, the more the better.

Xivio is ready to enter the room.

Really disappointed operatives couldnt get that amazing phase shot magic hack that technomancers get, so i want to make my own archetype.
basically was just thinking an operative that can choose appropriate magic hacks in place of exploits if they qualify for the level. im thinking prereq of being an android and intelligence 16, and was thinking of ditching bluff,intimidate, and athletics as class skills to add physical science and mysticism. is this too good? anything anyone feels should be added/ changed?

Ive seen a few threads about Collar of the True Companion, but there seems to be some conflict on how it really works. My question is if it is used on an animal companion do they remain your companion after one week? the description of the item says "If the collar is worn for at least 1 week by a creature of the animal type, the creature is raised to humanlike sentience, as though by the awaken spell. " im assuming this means it gains the intelligence boost exclusively, not being effected by anything other effects of awaken
