Hokay, so, time for the big table variance question of the day. I have the feat Effortless Trickery, which allows me to concentrate on illusion spells with a swift action instead of the normal standard action.
1) Does this allow me to cast another spell with my standard action while maintaining my illusion with my swift action?
2) What about using a wand while concentrating on the illusion?

Eagerly awaiting the ability to sign up. Definitely not hitting refresh on multiple occasions on the Warhorn site to check if the ugly orange banner is gone, because that would be silly when I know it will take more time than this. That's definitely not a thing I would do...

Tanu nods quickly in support. "She has the right of it, sir. The hill giant was defensive of his home, but otherwise cooperative. He was also very wary of this drake lord, and we have already seen how dangerous the drakes can be. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, sir. Sometimes the fiercest enemy can become the most valuable ally."

I had a few clarifying setting questions

1) Can any given person enter the tower once every 9 years, or can everybody enter the tower once every 9 years? In other words, is it like the Olympics where the tower opens every 9 years, or is it a personal time measure where you can choose to enter at any time, but once you leave you have to wait 9 years to try again?

2) Is the quest a one time only thing, and once you have completed the quest you can enter the tower any number of times thereafter, or do you have to redo the quest every 9 years also?

3) What is the normal end condition of the tower? Is it a fatal exercise for many people, or do most people just stop and retreat at a non-fatal point? Is there a "win condition", and if so, how many people reach it?

4) Is it normal to wait to try the tower until level 9?

The character I'm planning is someone who grew up in Korryn in the shadow of the tower, and entering the tower has been his lifelong goal, so I'm trying to find out more details of what that would look like.

Seeing the older dark skinned bald man aproach them, Wulfgar turns, watching the man. His left eye focusing on the man his right eye stops twitching, the unusual pupil widening. "Greetinks ComRade Tanu I am beink Wulfgarrrr' He gestures towards Lady Talia, "May I be presentink Lady Talia." Giving a wide smile, showing the gaps in his teeth, he nods "Dah, ComRade, as you are sayink, we are Mercenarrrries." Remembering seeing the man taking care of a particularly fine mount, He gestures towards the barracks. "Are you beink one as well?"

Tanu gives a slight bow at this introduction, a practiced move that allowed him to be courteous but also not take his eyes off them. Thick accent, wonder where it is from? Interesting and more interesting..."Indeed, I have traveled for far too long now, eager to make a place for myself. I am glad for your arrival; things have gone less than smoothly so far."

He started walking with the two of them toward the barracks, giving them a brief summary of events along the way. When they arrive, he goes in first, saying "there is one other mercenary already here, a woman named Portia, I'll introduce her if she is around, though she may have gone for breakfast. Did you come with anyone else, or was it just the two of you?"

I'm assuming that Pavo is in the barracks, as he didn't indicate he was going to the stables yet. Feel free to poke in anywhere on our walk, purposefully left things vague so others could write introductions. Figure we can do a few introduction posts before getting down to brass tacks of questing.

Kyra slowly stands back up, holding the savage cut to her side from that damn ogre's wicked blade. "Bloody bastard" she mutters, as she slowly limps around him and closer to Lazino. She gives a grim nod particularly to Seelah as she passes, and then begins to motion everyone closer to her and Lazino. "Gather around, anyone that got hurt, I'll give us some healing to get moving again."

Once everyone is within 30 feet of her, she'll mutter a quick prayer under her breath. When she finishes, everyone feels a gentle breeze flowing around them, seeming to go in little circles around the group, and all their wounds close up a little.

Channel: 1d8 ⇒ 3

"If you'll give me a few minutes, I don't have many spells left but I still need to see to my more serious wounds here." Kyra takes out her medical pack and begins to dress her own wounds.

Medicine: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
Heal: 2d8 ⇒ (7, 8) = 15

Dot in the gameplay thread. In case you are unfamiliar, dotting is where you make a small post in the gameplay thread (often just a single period, hence ‘dotting’), and then you immediately delete said post. No post is left in gameplay to clutter history, but the system recognizes you as a player, also adding the campaign to your profile for easy access.

However, at story end, Morgan simply looks confused. "Bu' how does that link back to th' fire? Was it in retribution somehow? Somethin' to do with the Sheriff's family, ye said?"

Friends,

I really like the game we have going here -- you've all made some spectacularly creative characters and I'm really enjoying reading the posts.

I feel a slight need here as the GM to plea for some greater magnanimity between all parties so that this promising outset isn't derailed by personal difficulties.

I'm not singling anyone out or putting the blame on any one person, I just want to put forth an honest and heartfelt request that we all try to be peaceable and focus on having a good game together.

While I appreciate you not singling anyone out, I'll go ahead and single myself out - I went overboard with my snippy ooc response to Aleister in the gameplay thread. I apologize for that. I was in a bad mood for unrelated reasons that morning, and the comment about me ignoring a post just rubbed me the wrong way. Regardless, I was entirely too snarky in my response, and I should not have been. Sorry Aleister.

To top it off, I then mentally merged Aleister and Vincent in my head, and got things all sorts of confused. Sorry about that too.

I am also very much enjoying the game so far, and will endeavor to not allow my personal crap come through like that again. Sorry to all.

Sleep spell wrote:


Slapping or wounding awakens an affected creature, but normal noise does not. Awakening a creature is a standard action (an application of the aid another action).

So it might behoove us to wake up some sleepers to get us back up to a full fighting force here.

While all this is going on, Carrakas remains outside the building, looking around, as though he was a good little citizen waiting for the merchant to return. He leans against the building, looking around at any passersby, smiling pleasantly as appropriate.

Keeping lookout, figure if the merchant comes back I can talk to him somewhat loudly and alert those inside the building. Plus, it gives me something to do, as I'm not exactly the most sneaky type :)

Carrakas smiles good-naturedly at his second loss, though a slight look of frustration does cross his face. Planning to give up on arm-wrestling, he changes his mind at Marzela's offer. "Sure, we'll give it a go." He sits across from her, and begins the challenge.

Strength vs 11: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
Strength vs 7: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
Strength vs 4: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Strength vs 13: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Strength vs 15: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

It was a lot closer than he would have liked, but ultimately the victory comes down on Carrakas' side. "A good match, Marzela" he says with a grin.

If anyone is interested - https://discord.gg/yPwpbJy

As for downtime, I could see myself galavanting around with Marzela and Lily. I would see it as my duty to protect the two of you, moreso than Jaed and Finnrick; also, I feel like I would have bonded with Marzela more than the others, given the fact that we came on board together (and she did hit me with that nat-20 diplo roll earlier too!).

If that didn't work out, and I went my own way, I would probably just continue doing PFS jobs and generally merc-ing myself out. I don't really have any grand plans or ambitions, beyond simple self-improvement and the adventuring life.

Question for the DM - if I want to upgrade a magic item, say my belt of mighty constitution +2 to a +4, would I sell the old item at 50% (so make 2,000gp) and then buy the new item at full price (16,000gp, for a net cost of 14,000gp), or would I just pay the difference in full price between the two items (12,000gp)? Only official ruling I could find was for PFS, where you just pay the difference in full price, but wasn't sure that would apply here.

Carrakas jumps at the Naga's distraction as it aims, and tries to ram it with his shield.
AOO with Shield, PA: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 10 - 2 = 20
Damage, PA, bludgeoning: 1d4 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 4 = 12

The rays of fire scorch him, though not as bad as they might have otherwise (5 fire resistance leaves me just taking 10 damage total, I believe). The tiefling just smiles.

"Welcome back to the party" he says with a nod at Jaed's entrance. Then he gathers in his power and sends his whip toward the beast.

Attack, PA: 1d20 + 13 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 13 - 2 = 14
Damage, PA, bludgeoning: 3d6 + 7 + 4 ⇒ (4, 4, 3) + 7 + 4 = 22

Carrakas frowns in annoyance, then glares at the cultist again. "Did you fools not read the notes on the walls before opening the gate? Do you really not know? The whole city has a built in defense mechanism - 72 hours after the gate opens, the whole city floods with molten gold. There is no way to stop it. You say it was dark? Was it prior to sleeping, or after? This morning? Tell me everything you remember about entering the city. Telling me serves to keep you safe from the molten gold, and it keeps me from getting more annoyed at you than I already am."

Nope - my nonlethal is a special nonlethal from taking burn, and it can't be healed in any way other than a full night's sleep, unfortunately.

Kinetic Knight 5
+9 hit points (favored class bonus)

Skills: +1 Climb, Diplomacy, Intimidate, Perception, Sense Motive, Appraise, Profession (gladiator)

New feat: Combat reflexes

New Infusions: Entangling Infusion, Kinetic Whip
Class features: Blast damage goes up to 3d6+6, Infusion Specialization 1 comes online (lets me reduce my infusion burn cost by 1)

I'm very excited about Kinetic Whip, as it actually sticks around after my turn for the round, allowing me to make AOOs with my blast, AND it has reach, AND it can still hit adjacent. So (sorry, couldn't resist):

When a problem comes along
I can whip it
Even when it's not my turn
I can whip it
When I'm near or when I'm far
I can whip it

Now whip it
In the face
Trip it up
From far away
Move forward
Or step back
Try to predict it
It's not too far
To whip it
Whip it good

Stepping out of the stone sarcophagus, Gabriel shakes his head. "Waking up in a bloody sarcophagus - I'm getting to old for this shit." Sorry, it had to be said at least once.

Hearing Vars calling for help, he goes over to his sarcophagus. "Vars, is that you? Are you not out of there yet? We even gave you a head start!"

Using detect magic, do the sarcophagi show up as magical? Wondering if I can animate one of them with Aether Puppet, which I would assume can only work on non-magical objects.

Gabriel snaps his flask back to him, pockets it, then slowly stands up from his chair. "Let's get this over with, then" he says, as his cane flies over to his hand. He then begins to walk, painfully slowly, toward the office, leaning heavily on his cane with every step. When he reaches Mahb's pile of muck, his feet leaves the ground, as he flies right over it, before returning to the ground and continuing his hobbling.

Player Name: dwilhelmi
Character Name: Henrikuaxian
PFS #: 183198-1
Day Job: None
Faction: Scarab Sages
Special Notes:
I'm an illusionist, so knowing how you run illusions would be helpful. One thing in particular that I can do is that I took the feat Threatening Illusion, which specifically calls out working with Ghost Sound. I also took the Magical Lineage trait with Ghost Sound as the chosen spell. Since Threatening Illusion is +1 level, and Magical Lineage is -1 level, that leaves it as still a cantrip but able to provide flanking bonuses.

Separate from that is that I also recently took the feat Effortless Trickery, which allows me to concentrate on illusion spells as a swift action. One ruling question that sometimes comes up is whether or not I can maintain concentration on an illusion spell with a swift action and cast another spell with the standard action. The feat calls out the ability to maintain concentration on another spell with the standard action, but doesn't specifically call out the ability to cast with the standard, so some view this feat as really only being applicable once you can quicken a spell to cast two spells in the same round, and so maintain concentration on them both.

Sorry to be a pain from the start - I think illusions are a lot of fun, but they do tend to lead to questions.

For everyone: I have a wand of Infernal Healing I can use to heal myself, and don't mind using it to heal others, but some have problems with that, so up to you. I also still have a scroll of Enlarge Person, if anyone enjoys being embiggened.

Domitian's motions, jerky at first, suddenly calm as he levels his gaze at the uninjured creature engaged with him. "This is your place no longer. In the name of Abadar and the order that he is, you shall end today!" As he says this, a wooden holy symbol he wears around his neck flares to life, and his gaze becomes much more determined. Smite Evil, targeting the undead woman who came after me, presumably the one not yet hit by anybody

He takes a small step back 5-foot step away from the creature, to get back in reach range and takes another swing.

Charisma mod to attack (+4), 2x level to damage for first attack against undead (+2), ignores DR
Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19
Damage: 1d12 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

If she's still standing, I also get a +4 to AC against her attacks. I like Smite Evil!

Looks like I got this in just under the wire. Sorry it took so long, wanted to take my time on it and did so a little too much! Here is my submission, Cade Thorngage, a Halfling-Tiefling foresight wizard. I crafted many things; with a spellcraft at +13 and a valet familiar, I can take 10 and hit anything up to a DC25. I added my calculations for the DCs of crafted items after each item, for you to double-check.

I don't know much about FR, beyond having read all of the R.A. Salvatore books (multiple times) a decade ago. So I thought it fitting that my character doesn't either! Well, he knows less than would be expected anyway. If selected, rediscovering his history could be an underlying plot point for him.

Let me know if you want any more info. Thanks!

Background:

Cade has no idea who he is. This is not meant in some philosophical, looking-to-find-himself sort of way; he literally has no idea who he is or where he came from. He woke up 10 years ago, naked, in an alley in Heliogabalus. He had no idea what had happened, or where he was, or even who he was. He did have a seemingly-unfounded nervousness, as though someone were after him. Luckily, his tiefling heritage served him well in this situation, as his scaly skin offered him some protection and his small size helped him to hide well. He stole some clothes, and slowly established himself in this new place.

He took up a new name, and discovered to his delight that he possessed a natural inclination to the arcane. Now he sticks to the shadows as much as possible, trying to hide his freakish physical features and make his way as best he can. He found Milo, his familiar, to be a good friend; he too is small and ugly, but tough and sneaky. The two adventure together, and strive to make themselves useful enough to other adventurers to overlook their physical features. Given his background, he is understandably nervous venturing into stores too often, so he has dedicated many resources to crafting items for himself. This gives him something to offer his fellow adventurers beyond his magical prowess. This strategy has worked pretty well; it has kept him alive, and helped to integrate himself with others. It seemed to work well enough for Flarghin, anyway, who had contacted him about another job.

Appearance:

The creature standing before you appears to be a cross between a halfling and a demon; and as it happens, that isn't far off. His size is more like a traditional halfling, but he has several traits that clearly mark his fiendish nature: scaly skin, cloven hooves instead of feet, a long and flexible tail, and a large mouth full of very sharp-looking teeth. Most of this he keeps well-hidden; he has a large green cloak that covers his tail, with a deep hood to hide his face. Not much he can do about the feet (do you know how hard it is to wear boots with hooves?), but luckily most don't seem to notice - I mean, really, how often do you look at a man's shoes?

Rasmorn continues to be wracked with laughter. (Look at the fool try to stand up! He's GREASED! Came here to attack, and he got GREASED! Goblins trying anything is SO FUNNY! With the big ears and the dumb looks!) "He tried... and he couldn't...... right to the head... HA!

We could call our club "Amaekashu's Traveling Dojo and Band", since he has the funnest name and was the reserved spot (so technically was here first). We will sing songs and beat people up. It'll be fun. Regin can sing too. Tribim can do the light show. Dommer can be the bouncer. Good times!

Now I'm picturing you both tossing a single giant weapon back and forth in a single fight, like Cap and Bucky do with the shield in Civil War. I don't care if it's unrealistic, the image is awesome :D

I am currently playing around with a Samsaran Wizard character, and contemplating the option of selecting UMD for one of my two Shards of the Past skills, which would make it a class skill for me and give me a +2 racial bonus to it. I could also take Pragmatic Activator trait to use Int for UMD instead of Cha. In total, that would give me a total of +11 to UMD at level 1 (+5 int, +2 racial, +3 class skill, 1 skill point).

I've always liked the idea of UMD, but what I don't know is how much it would really help a wizard to have it. In my regular party there will be an inquisitor and a bard, so any long term buff spells from those lists I can just hand a wand to one of them. So what really valuable uses can you think of that a Wizard could do with a high UMD, if any? I am very new to Pathfinder, so I'm not intimately familiar with what is really useful in practice.

Alternatively, are there any really great arcane spells that are not on the wizard list that I would benefit from with the Mystic Past Life alternate racial trait?

Thanks, they did have it; this is the first time I've seen D20 not have something. Weird.

Regardless, this does put a damper on things. This is why I ask before I buy. Thanks!
