Yes, thanks, I didn't catch that.2nd level HD 1d6+2Looked at your character sheet - doesn't your acid dart do 1d6 + CL/2? So at 2nd level, it would be 1d6+1, right?
No problem - I like seeing how folks build their 'casters and we need every point we can get...
OK, I'll bite. Why does the flind's dagger look familiar? Is this something Livvy notices? What sort of roll would be necessary for her to notice and/or remember why it seems familiar?
Erizi's true nature comes through at second level
Oh well, my re-roll can't be any worse :-(.
P.S. Did anyone (other than TT) guess why 44xp?
Congratulations on your expectations. Unless you were just bringing Erizi up to second level, I have no idea.
A Clue: last year on this day all my players received 43xp.

Sadly true, AinvarG. I now figure in a new range on my company's yearly questionnaire, no longer in the 34-43 range but in the 44-54 category.
On the plus side I did get the first two parts of Kingmaker as presents.
On the negative side, I am playing in it so have promised the DM not to read most of it for a while.
Cheers
Well, Happy Birthday! And thanks for the birthday present!
Happy Birthday! Does that mean you are gonna run a Kingmaker PbP?
He is? Oh, pick me! I'll stop reading mine, I will, I promise!!
Wish I could help you there, but running two games is just enough for me to feel overwhelmed, but not enough that I feel I should drop one.
Back to the gnoll combat post-mortem. I think having Shimei charge the flind to grapple was a poor choice. My thought was to use up his AoO so you guys could surround him without risk. Best case I actually did get a hold on him and you could have wailed on hiim for a round without any risk. Fortunately for Shimei, Zaid saved his life with the colorspray. Another hit from the flind probably would have dropped Shimei to about -9. In retrospect I think I should have just fallen back, healed up, and returned to combat. Anyone care to throw me some advice?

I agree, Shimei rushing the flind was probably a poor tactic, although it did buy some time to enlarge Nombir and summon the dog.
As an aside, it seems like the combination of Augment Summoning and Summoner's Charm, combined with the 2 HD dog with a trip attack is pretty dang powerful for a 1st level spell, maybe a bit OP?

Oh, I don't know - it costs a full round to cost and only lasts for a single attack for most 1st-level casters, lasts for two for Zaid. It sounds like a good choice, but I won't know if it's really too much. The dog could be effective against a single opponent, but if he can't win the combat maneuver, his bite probably won't take the foe down, either. I do think Zaid put him to the best use in that combat.
I was hoping Norn would be able to get a sneak against the flind, either flanking with the dog or Nombir, but I think she'd been tagged hard enough that she opted for caution and ranged attack. It certainly helped that she rolled a 19 on the attack...
Set runs a summoner in my CoT game. He posted that they nerfed the dog down a size class in the errata. I let him keep the dog at size because he had already posted with the larger dog and in a level or two it just won't matter.
The cool thing about the dog is it opens opportunities for the melee guys but doesn't contribute bone-crushing damage so the melee types still get their fun too.
Oh so that's the way it is. We do all the work and then get to sleep in the sand? Or maybe she'll invite us all to bunk with her?
Sick, pregnant wife and sick child sent home from school so might not be posting for a while...
Take care of the family. Thanks for letting us know.
Livvy just attempted to put the fear of little people in Dashki in the main thread. Maybe that thought will make you smile.
That made me smile. Dashki has been obstructive before. Erizi had to put the arm on him.
Scranford -- way to cover that low intimidation roll. ~rolls eyes~
Since Dashki is facing away, it makes intimidating him much harder. But I'll push this along over the weekend.
Cheers
I hope everyone at the FW household is doing better.
Understandable, FW. I hope your wife recovers soon and the delivery goes smoothly. Glad to hear your son is better.
Do you know the baby's sex yet, or will it be a surprise?
By all means, take care of Mrs. Wolf and the rest of the pack first. Glad to hear your pup is healing.
We'll be here when RL lets you return.
Ellie Rose was born at 3.46pm GMT and everyone is doing fine.
Good luck to all of you, I've just had my slice for the week.
Cheers
Right on! Congratulations!
Congratulations, FW. Good to hear everyone is doing fine. Best of luck with Ellie Rose. I like the name.
Did you know that these things just drop off the list if you're not careful? Had to look under the desk, under the chair, finally found it on the shelf labeled Arch something. Didn't look like an arch, it was just as straight as the other shelves. I mean, really. Are they trying to confuse people?
Nice.
Though you do well to worry. If you can't outrun the gnoll horde I'm sure you and Norn and probably Erizi, and maybe Nombir, can make a dramatic stand that will give me time to get away with Zaid, who still seems sensible and speedy. I'll commision your new bard to make up some songs in Livvy's honor.
Seriously, if we screw up and it does come to new characters, play what you want. We'll find a way to make it work.
Erizi will live on until the end of this AP. If he dies I'll just apply the Zombie template, and keep playing him. When his flesh finally is finally completely consumed by carrion birds, and beetles he'll just switch to the skeleton template. No problems.
And he'll live forever in my heart. Erizi is a blast.

BTW, I'll be away for the Independence Day weekend. Posting resumes Tuesday.
Jury duty tomorrow. I doubt the Commonwealth will provide internet.
Just to let you know, I will be taking what I think is a much-deserved vacation to anywhere but here starting Saturday. I expect to have Internet access, but I don't expect to have a lot of time, so my posting after Friday might be sporadic for a week or so.
Please DMPC Livvy as necessary.
Thanks, I will/am. It looks like Internet access is not an issue, but permission from the SO might be. I'll post if I can. End of transmission. ;-)
French Wolf, here's hoping for a quick and complete recovery. I also hope you're enjoying the comforts of home rather than the hospital today.
Don't worry about Kenan: (to be read only if you're feeling psychically strong)
(Brett, thanks for the heads up on FW.)
French Wolf, don't sweat gaming. Get yourself square and on your feet first. GOod luck with your recovery.
FW, sorry to hear about the family. I hope all are well soon.
