My character's done. If anyone wants me to adjust the spell selection, let me know - I went with the straight PFRPG list.

Kelgan - shouldn't your damage bonus be +23 (+18 STR and +5 magic)?

I forgot to add it to damage. Thanks. Chnaging it now.

If we want to forsake the boy band connotations perhaps just The Wanderers? (A little plain perhaps but..)

Sorry for not posting much today all.

The following is the DM venting about the day...Feel free to ignore

[vent]After running my errands my ladyfriend decided to come by. After spending the rest of the day watching tv, and having my @$$ handed to me at Guitar Hero I took her home. It wasn't until we got in the door that she told me, "We just weren't made to be together". And that our relationship had to stop.

God what a crappy F'N day. Not only do I feel like crap(a normal day for me), but the person I've been with for 5+ years decides to call it quits. YAY ME![/vent]

There with you, man.

Spoiler:
my girlfriend died over eleven years and I still can't move on; we've been together three years before that and we were planning on getting married after I graduated law school.

For combet movement just let me know how many squares north, south, east or west you're moving.

Lazaro, Radavel,
Fricking bummer deal.
I offer a hug because I've been there.
(Not the girl dying part but the not able to move on for a while.)
I had 2 5 year relationships that didn't work... but it will. (That's all I can say.)

Maybe it's just my frazzled brain, but I have a question for you all. I would post this on the feats board, but I think we're all smart enough to figure it out.

The Shield Master feat states, that you don not suffer penalties on attack rolls made with the shield while wielding another weapon.

Does this mean a person with two-weapon, improved two-weapon, etc. does not add the penalties from those feats?

example using greater two-weapon: So going with the bare minimum your attacks would like this.

Let's say a 12th level fighter with a +3 str bonus

15/10/5 - no two-weapon

13/8/3
and
13/8/3 - using greater two-weapon

So would a two-weapon fighter using Shield Master look like this:

13/8/3
and
15/10/5?

Now by RAW I think this would be true. But I have a feeling that RAI it isn't supposed work like this.

Shadow Lodge

Male Human

Radavel, did you watch Bleach 197 yet?

Spoiler:
The opening has got me pumped to see the new movie!

Things though that I really liked:

Mayuri vs. Kenpachi!
Ichigo vs. lets face it Soul Society
Ichigo vs. Rukia

and

Urahara back in his captain uniform!

Yup, seen it. The link to the manga I posted also gave me a preview.

I go with this one. Using the shield bash maneuver in the off hand.

I still need to watch 197.
I seem to be a day behind you guys...

Shadow Lodge

Pffft, I'm way behind on my animes. Bleach and Naruto Shippuuden caught up. Everything else I'm weeks behind.

Well this battle looks to be...interesting. I'll say this weapon/armor training can make anything deadly.

Scarab Sages

M carbon based dice form graphic guy 10 / geek 5 / collector 6 / daddy 2 / GM 4

I really only watch Bleach, I have 35+ eps of Naruto to catch up to current.
I need just a bit more time each week to get more anime in.

Shadow Lodge

Male Human

Hey all, just a quick request. Please try to post in order of initiative. Posting at once got me confused and I already know I messed up the init order cause of it (I posted Kutho's actions and moves before Jahangir's).

Also I mentioned this one the games thread; I noticed after assigning damage from Fargos' Flame Strike that only Raizen, Kutho and Tarlan have darkvision. Do the other members have it, but forgot to post on their profile, or did they just forget to start a light source?

Scarab Sages

M carbon based dice form graphic guy 10 / geek 5 / collector 6 / daddy 2 / GM 4

Does it help to post our actions if we know we won't be around for several hours?
(I think this would help the combats along...)

That would be ok, I'm a patient person anyways. So I can can take waiting on a person to post. But like I said it's ok, but put it in spoilers. That way I know to come back to it, and if something happens between you posting and the time your init does come up you can change it.

hey fray, I was checking Tarlan's CMB (since the jaebrin got a free bull rush). Shouldn't his CMB be 28 not 24.

My BAB is +16 and my Str mod is +8. I don't have a size modifier, so I have a CMB of 24. Am I missing something?

No my mistake. I thought the swordmage had full BAB. I always confuse the swordmage and warblade.


For Lazaro

Spoiler:
Won't it be interesting if the Wandering Minstrel was actually Olidamarra? He inspired our group to adventure and eventually battle Tharizdun.

Hey all sorry for the lack of post today. My mom had work to do.

Battle looks just about over, should have the exp posted soon. By the way, does anyone know where I can find an experience chart for level 21 and up (other than buying the ElH)?


I have a copy of ELH. You need the experience reward table?

Raizen wrote:

Yeah, that way I can tweak the amount of exp I hand out. To be honest there are not alot of encounters in this adventure. And you're expected to be 21st by the time you face the final baddy but I don't see that happening without me throwing some extra encounters and exp your way.

If anything All I reaaly need is how much exp to level 21-23. I don't see it going much higher.


The XP for levels 21 to 23 are different in 3.5 and Pathfinder.

ELH 3.5

Spoiler:

level 20 - 190K
21 - 210k
22 - 231k
23 - 253k

Pathfinder

Spoiler:

level 20 slow 5,350K; normal 3,600k; fast 2,400K

Lazaro

Spoiler:
I can send you the epic xp reward table through e-mail.

Radavel, saw Naruto. It was good, expected as much. But it seems fillers are headed our way :(

And filler make baby-jesus cry. I just hope they don't suck.

So here we folks. The first encounter is over, and if you missed it you all gained 1457 exp from it.

Now before we go too much further...I ask you all for your critiques and advise in this game. Again I'm new to DMing pbps, but I also haven't run a gam IRL for two. So I know my skills are rusty.


Male Changeling Fighter 4 / Ranger 1 / Warshaper 4 / Swordsage 12

So far so good.
I'm having fun. (except for those 5 negative levels...) ;)

I would like to have a map of the place we are in since we have been here before, along with known traps. What condition was this place in when we left? Was it occupied? Were goons chasing us and didn't follow? Have we fought those goons before? Do we know that "corrupted" goons have certain abilities/flavor?

This would be your first time facing the jaebrin, but not the first time against a corrupted creature. Your first run in was against Giorge Forsworn and his partner Mask. She was once a playful Nymph living in the area of Crater Ridge.

When you first arrived the was empty save for the spell turret and a magical forge in the south. The entrance was sealed long ago by Mordenkainen and his allies. He gave you a tool to the break the seal and enter.

From what you all can tell the place was probaably large, but over time the only part still standing the main hall and the gate.

As for being chased. Your group and everyone else searching for the gems are being hunted. The worst, and main hunter is Giorge Forsworn. Formally human, and a member of the Green Horn Adventuring Troupe. Corrupted by the evil of Tharzidun, he now reluctanly follows his lord orders.


Male Changeling Fighter 4 / Ranger 1 / Warshaper 4 / Swordsage 12

Or Fargos can cast continual flame on his sword...


Male Changeling Fighter 4 / Ranger 1 / Warshaper 4 / Swordsage 12

Questions... does the spell turret and/or spells make any noise? I thought I was just a round behind the crossbow goon who was running. I would think that I would at least hear the good being blasted and avoid the turret.

How did the goons get passed the turret in the first place? (This is probably an in-game/ party question.)

OK noted. I'd been posting out of order for that exact reason and as it seems that when I am able to check in there's been a flurry of posts I guess I'll have to keep doing that fairly often.

Funny thing. As I was sitting redoing my lost game info I found some old questions I sent into WoTC for answering. One them has to do with Tarlan, well Warshapers actually.

Lazaro wrote:

The Warshapers(pg.89, Complete Warrior)morphic weapon ability says that as a move action the Warshaper can grow natural wreapons such as claws, fangs, etc. Is there a limit to how many natural weapons a Warshaper can have at once (ex:1 bite, 2 claws, 2 tentacles)?

Chris L. wrote:

Thank you for contacting us.

Actually, the description of the ability seems to imply that you can only grow one natural weapon at any given time. However, since it isn't particularly explicit, your DM must be the final arbiter of this.

So really if I wanted I could rule Tralan could have 100 or natural attacks. I won't of course, but it would be amusing.

M carbon based dice form graphic guy 10 / geek 5 / collector 6 / daddy 2 / GM 4

That would be funny.
Tarlan grows 1000 tentacles with mouths on the end filled with timy sharp teeth and attacks. I think 1000 attacks have a pretty good chance of killing stuff. :D

Radavel watch Bleach yet?

I think I'm pretty caught up on my anime. Sure a few of my shows are behind, but I'm willing to wait for the subs.

Got my myspace as caught as possible as well.

Just saw the latest episode. Way to go, Byakuga.

Um, what was up with the last Bleach? Not enough Kenpachi. :D
It does annoy me to have 5 minutes of repeat stuff at the start of each episode... that brings it down to about 15 minutes per ep. :sigh:

I wonder if they'll be doing the Turn Back the Pendulum arc, or just going straight into the Battle of Karakura, or even....MORE FILLERS.

I guess time will tell. I really want the Pendulum arc though.

In game news still waiting on Kutho, I'll propbably just roll his init here a minute. Invisiblecastle is still down, so feel free to home roll or use penpaperpixel
