Got a question as well... Zoom: which Language would you suggest Theruska knows, now that I spent points on Linguistics?
|
I updated Inros and posted his PFRPG stats. I kept the 3.5 stats below that.
A few upgrades from the new rules. Strength got a boost. Favored enemy is an attack bonus as well as a damage bonus. Skills worked out pretty close, but added swim.
Zoo, how do you want to handle the Urban Ranger's urban tracking ability? It can be used as it is in Unearthed Arcana with the diplomacy skill, or streamlined like the PFRPG tracking (a skill check bonus when applicable). Has not come up yet (or maybe once?), but would probably be easier to just use the PFRPG style bonus?
Lets just use the PFRPG tracking and see how that works, we can always mess with it later if it doesn't work out!
Got a question as well... Zoom: which Language would you suggest Theruska knows, now that I spent points on Linguistics?Varisian would be good! don't want to give to much away but Abyssal might be helpful. Maybe you were trained in old Thassilonian even!
Just some thoughts, hope that helps!

Varisian is common, right?
Going with okd Thassilonian then. Thanks.

No, Taldane is the common lang. in Golarion! Varisian is a combination of Taldane, Thassilonian with a smattering of Giant and Orc!Going with okd Thassilonian then. Thanks.
sounds good!
I know it's a little more work, but could you possibly put a in a spoiler on your profile, a running XP total under the game name. This lets everybody keep up with the totals, since looking back through old threads takes so much time.

I will work on the XP spoiler tag on my sheet sometime today! Its a great idea thanks for bringing it to my attention!

It's been so long I've forgotten; what is our mission again? Sorry.

Ha! I almost forgot, too.
We're trying to get some dirt on a Chelaxian diplomat for the city guard, I think.
I remember now. Thanks.
Any chance we could rev this game up a bit. It's my favorite PbP, but it seems to really drag...? We've been trying to get in this door for two weeks.

Well I am glad this is your favorite pbp and I will endeavor to better with the game speed, at least on from my end! Work has been difficult this past couple of weeks due to loss of some employees making more work and longer hours for me. On the plus side means more money and overtime! Through the door we goooooooooooooooo......
experimenting with the dice roller
result 11 and now damage
add another die again
and again
and again
and once more
and last time, really
looks like hitting preview and adding more rolls does not change the results. i had three max rolls in a row...that was weird and why i kept rolling..
this one i changed back and forth from d20 to d10. each time the d20 result was 20 and the d10 result was 6.
this one i rolled 1d20 and got a 9. then i added the +3 and the roll stayed the same for a result of 12. impressed.
but still, a lot of max rolls...maybe i should not complain
but still, a lot of max rolls...maybe i should not complain
Trust me -- it doesn't just give maximum rolls. I can tell you that from experience... ;-)
I'm back online.
Sorry for not telling, but I was out cold, for the past two weeks.
I'm going to read up and post in a little while.
Wasn't someone keeping a running count of the loot we were finding. Would be useful so we can determine what to buy in our down time.
I've updated Thelix's profile with a "Loot" spoiler, which includes everything we've found since the last cash in...I think. If you guys think of anything else just let me know and I'll add it. I believe we have a bunch of appraise rolls to make, and some loot to sell. We also need to know what is in the bags of dust, and how many coins were in the (6) bags before we can start to split up the loot. If anyone wants any of the items as part of their loot, time to speak up.
I'm assuming that Theruska is no longer with us, as he hasn't posted on this game in over a month...so I guess we split the loot 5 ways.
I just finished leveling Yselle to 3. Looks like I forgot to upgrade to Pathfinder, so I had to completely re-do her skills.
Thelix would like to update, but this depends on getting the loot sold, and split up so he can upgrade his armor etc... if nobody helps by Monday he's going to sell it for what he can, and keep all the money...Come on Guys help me out here. Zoomackula...The loot is listed in Thelix's profile (Don't know what the dust is, or how many coins are in the 6-sacks...Let's get this thing moving.

Yes, I'm just waiting on an identification of magic items and a listing of coins before tackling our next project. :-)

Here is the list for all of the loot you collected during this act and the magical items that Sarastal ID'ed
1000 gp the bribe money
2 mwk bladed gauntlets
mwk hand crossbow
Potion of Cure Mod
Potion of Invisibility
+1 leather armour
6 long swords
6 light crossbows
6 chainmail armour
6 heavy shileds
60 gp from goons
6 doses of shiver
1 dose of dream spider venom
jasper amulet-500 gp
gold necklace-600 gp
mother of pearl horn- 50 gp
Ring of Feather Fall
Scroll of Blur
Elixir of Love
2 Pouches of Dust of Appearance
6 sacks of gold-each contains 100 gp
Have fun spending!
I am interested in the +1 leathers, but if someone else wants that is cool. Other than that, I will just take my share of gold and equip myself from the wares of the town.
Given Thelix's rather weak strength, lack of Climb as a class skill, and heavy armor, he would love to have first dibs on the ring of featherfall, but could be swayed by someone else wanting it. Otherwise he will take the weapons and armor nobody else wants and try to get a good deal on selling it.
Diplomacy (1d20+8=9)...Obviously in the wrong place
According to my calculations, the total is worth about 7,745 gp (assuming we sell the equipment for 1/2 value and leaving aside the drugs and poison which might be hard to sell).
Split 5 ways, that's a share of 1,549 gp each (or 969 gp + a suit of leather armor +1, or 549 gp + a ring of feather fall).
Any thoughts?

I'm assuming you didn't cash in the other magic; Potions, scrolls etc?
Most groups I've played in just split the magic up with whom could use it the most, and took turns on the items everyone could use. Kind of split them up equally, and just split the monetary items equally. If more than one person wanted an item, we just diced for it, and that person wasn't eligible to get the next item in contention. If I've got to choose between a ring of feather fall and 1000 gp, I'm going to take the GP.

That total includes everything, even the potions and the scroll.
My attitude is: if you aren't willing to pay 1000 gp for a ring of feather fall, then you might as well sell it and buy something you really do want. Likewise for the potions, dust of appearance, etc.
I'm open to trying it the other way, though (keep all magic items by default).

I'm willing to go along with the group on this one, but to me it kind of cheapens Magic items. They just become currency instead of items of wonder...but then I always did have a vivid imagination.

I agree, having a campaign setting where you can buy and sell magic items is a mixed blessing. On the one hand, it helps you to find something that you really like, but on the other hand, it makes magic items seem less special.
I'll just take my split of the money, then spend it on stuff:
A masterwork studded leather armor (175 gp)
A masterwork buckler (165 gp)
A masterwork rapier (320 gp)
A masterwork light crossbow (335 gp)
If I manage to buy all these before the next adventure, I would spend a total of 995 gp.
Sarastal will probably want to scribe some scrolls. Will there be time before we go on our next adventure?
We need input from the rest of the party as to whether to keep the $ rewards separate from the magic rewards. The Money figure Sarastel suggested includes selling all the magic items, or taking them as a share. In my playing usually the players speak for the magic items, and if more than one want an item it's diced for. We also try to be fair, and don't let one person hog all the items. If it's a good group, this makes the party stronger. Please everybody pitch in you opinion so we can move on with selling and equipping.
At this time Thelix is going to take the ring of featherfall, and a partial share of the money. If we decide to split the money evenly then he will get better armor.
It's going to be hard to move forward with this game without deciding this as we need to know before leveling up.
I agree with Thelix that we should keep the magical and exotic items separate from the currency and jewelry. Great thanks to Sarastal for doing the math, though. Here's how I would categorize it:
Treat these as cash or as good as cash:
1000 gp the bribe money
60 gp from goons
6 long swords
6 light crossbows
6 chainmail armour
6 heavy shileds
jasper amulet-500 gp
gold necklace-600 gp
mother of pearl horn- 50 gp
6 sacks of gold-each contains 100 gp
Treat these as items to be split:
2 mwk bladed gauntlets
mwk hand crossbow
Potion of Cure Mod
Potion of Invisibility
+1 leather armour
6 doses of shiver
1 dose of dream spider venom
Ring of Feather Fall
Scroll of Blur
Elixir of Love
2 Pouches of Dust of Appearance
I'd like the potion of invisibility for myself. It will help with being a rogue.
I agree with Thelix that we should keep the magical and exotic items separate from the currency and jewelry.
I'll go with that, but certainly we can sell the masterwork stuff if nobody wants it. I'd also recommend selling the Elixir of Love.
I'm still not crazy about keeping half-useful stuff like Dust of Appearance (by "half-useful", I mean "I'm willing to take it, but I would never pay what it says in the DMG, even at 50% off").

I agree. After the "Does anybody want this round" we should sell off whats left. I have found from running many modules, sometimes you should keep what seems useless, as it's there to make an encounter easier down the road. We might want to hold onto one of those dust of appearances. Fighting something invisible could be tough without it. When we have a spell or another item that obsoletes it then we could go forward and sell.

Sarastal would be delighted to memorise and/or make some much cheaper scrolls of Glitterdust, if that would help.
What I don't want to encourage is having folks say "I've got dibs on expensive item X!", and then selling/trading it later on without sharing the wealth.

I don't think that would happen with this group, but we can agree in advance, that if a player sells an item awarded as treasure at a later date, he has to give the party a split. For instance the Ring of Featherfall, is an item usable at any level, so Thelix would never get rid of it, unless he had an item that duplicated the effects.
The gold, gems and jewelry totals to 2810 gp. Split five ways, that's 562 gp.
I don't know how much we'll get for the swords, crossbows, chainmail and shields.
In regards to what Yselle wants:
She'll have enough money to buy a masterwork studded leather armor (175 gp) and a masterwork rapier (320 gp).
I'd like to have the masterwork crosswbow, but I will defer to any warrior type who wants it.
I'd like to have the potion of invisibility, at the very least.

Yeselle. i would say take the potion, and he MW Hand crossbow. Thats more of a rogue weapon, than a Warrior weapon (Puny little thing);'). Normally in my campaigns we get half value for weapons and armor sold, but that can be increased through role play and diplomacy. Not sure how DM wants to handle it.
Sarastal doesn't want any of the items; she just wants cold, hard cash. :-)
Let me know what her share comes to.

If everyone wants to role play the shopping and such I am all for it! It was not the sense I was getting from this group as after the combat was over the posts got slimmer and or dried up so I thought I would keep things moving. If you all want me to lay the law down on the loot division I can do that but to me it looks like you all have things in hand. As for weapons and armour prices would be half the cost in the core book unless we role play it that is, your choice!
I like role playing the dispensation of treasure, but I agree in a play by Post game it would take too long. Maybe save it for situations where we have a very valuable item, then just make the required rolls. Half is fine for mundane items.
I wouldn't want to roleplay the distribution. This has been a wonderful gem of a game and I don't want it to get bogged down at this point.
Did we level? I will upgrade my character sheet with the new armor and anything i spend gold on in the next day or two. And if we did level, I will update that too.
Yes, we're third level now!
I'll just bump this back into the land of the living...
