Join us in VooDoo's LoF campaign. Kangaroos like the desert right?
How about a gnomish kangaroo riding Samurai?
Hmm - Samurai isn't a great fit to me. I'm thinking more Luring Cavalier direction.
And yes - kangaroos bounce around in the red center quite happily.
Indeed there ability to kick you chest out through your spine is quite funny.
Karlan won't get a reroll, but we count his roll as a 5. (if everyone is ok with that). Call it divine intervention...

Will the gnome ride in the pouch? That would be amazing.
DMZ, how do you handle weird spell components? I like Create Pit, but it takes a silly 10 GP mini shovel. Would I need to bounce down to the local blacksmith to get a set made?
@ All, any votes for spells you would like to see? Taking Expanded Arcana feat to get either one extra lvl 2 or 2 extra lvl 1 spells.

I didn't have that in mind... until now! Consider my mind officially blown ;)
A big red kanga bounding around with a gnome installed in the pouch making stabby and shooty death.
Out of curiousity, how do you guys feel about summoners? I thought about going that route instead of Sorcerer as the Summoner gets better spell progression right out of the box. A fire elemental based Eidolon would be right his alley also. Thoughts?
We had a summoner (Garabott) in HOD, no problems with that.
And yes, the local blacksmith would be able to help you.
@ Bilbo - look at the additional favored class bonuses in the APG. I know that humans are allowed to select 1 spell not of the highest castable level. I do not know whether DMZZ would allow this, but it is a nice way to spend favored class points for the very spell restricted classes.
Also, rather than burning a feat, a Wand of Create Pit would only cost 750 and might do just as well. --> Now as a pyromaniac would you create a Fire Pit?
APG is totally fine with me!
@Tirion The plan would be to pit,grease,flame. Unfortunately,gnomes do not get any benefits as Sorcerers. I guess they didn't see fit to come up with anything.
@DMZ Thank you. Some DMs seem to despise the Summoner. Not sure why. I will look over the options tonight and tomorrow. Should have him lined out promptly. Sorcerer seems to be a bit lacking compared to other casters.

Yeh - it is strange that some races get the favored class options and some don't. If the races are balanced with the regular skill point/hp favored class bonus, then there is no reason why giving all the options to all the classes should not be equally balanced. If the bonus really has a racial flair, I can see it, but most don't.
I guess it is a decision for DMZZ, but I would allow it if I were DM - maybe someday when I have time and actually get some more books.
Head up:
I'll be on a very small con (about 30 people) on Saturday.
@ HOPs:
I'm not a fan of DMPCing-I'd rather like one of you to take over Ivan.

At least I received the shipping confirmation yesterday!
2 cases, all mine!

Well thank you I actually wasn't expecting anything. :P
Except to get even more annoyingly difficult to hit as I make up for being glass jawed by jacking my AC up even higher.

Still working away on levelling!
So much stuff on at the moment... back to work Monday.
Going off to see Mike Patton (Faith no more) doing a set of classic crooner songs tomorrow night, then a stay in another nice hotel on Sunday night (another freebie - last time came with movie tickets, a good wine, and choc dipped strawberries) so the weekend will be hot and miss.
@ Bilbo: Check the Campaign tab there is your currect XP amount.
@ Sable:
How much is the dragon selling for in the US?
Well, my case of minis has arrived in Malaysia.... at least it's made it to the customs inlet. Remains to be seen how much I'll have to pay to get it to the customs outlet.
Wish me luck!
Oh yeah I'll have to go through the same procedure, but I already know hoch much I'll have to pay (26%)
Well Malaysia customs is a bit more like a box of chocolates... you never know what you're going to get.
I suppose if they charge you that sort of amount up there I can't complain if I get charged similar ;)
I just try not to think of the shipping cost + duties on top of the base case cost - eek!
Got my case for 215 (including the dragon) from miniature market at a time when the euro was still like 1.45 dollars, so it was quite a bargain.
I meant on the second market :)
keke!
Someone let me know if I have missed anything. Dreaming of the future here -
If I start with say a 20 strength:
Get a +4 normal increase from Dragon Disciple;
Get a +6 inherent increase from Sorcerer Bloodline;
Get a +6 enhancement increase from a belt of strength;
Get a +6(or +8) size increase from Giant Size spell or the equivalent;
Get a +10 morale increase from Blood Rage; and
Cast Transformation ( don't think I get the strength increase as it is also enhancement)
I should have a nice 52 strength for the remainder of the battle with fighter BAB.
Are there any other bonuses which I could stack on this?
This would also have the heavy load max out at 33000.
HOD folks: please forgive me, but I will likely not be posting again until Monday as I'm working all weekend and will simply not have the time or the brain power.
Woot! - got my minis out of customs for a lowly 10% duty. Was most surprised by the relative ease and efficiency.
Standout from the first brick were the gobbos.
Whats your overall impression? How much better are the minis compared to D&D minis?
Zyren - I have to say that I'm pretty impressed. Far ahead of the first D&D ones, and overall a bit ahead of the later D&D ones in my eyes. Colors are not as muted as D&D and are much brighter. Would be interesting to see how they react to a basic wash re: depth, etc.
A few of them are a bit meh (zombie), but some are really really good (medusa, succubus, Seelah, GOBBOS!). Large minis are impressive and the Ettin is huge!
Can't wait to get mine. Just last week I bought a case of the new LOTR Heroclix and was very impressed.

Took a few photos of the collection if anyone is interested. I really need a macro lens for my camera, but they came out ok.
Case - this is what I got in my case. Full collection of 40, and no duplicates within an individual brick (so a max of 4 of any single mini).
Scale - should give you an idea of just how flippin massive the ettin is...
GOBBOS! - my absolute favorite of the set. I was a bit iffy on the fact that they are essentially just palette swaps before I got them in hand. But once I see them I love the different colours. Really has a gobbo feel to the haphazardness and I'm looking forward to more gobbos in the encounter packs and Rise of Runelords set.
Ok guys, I think I will go with the Item Creation Feat: Craft Wondrous Item.
Just put down my pre-order for the Bestiary Box - the stand up token POG things work just fine for me! Mini's just cost the earth when it comes to shipping, and the local stores rob you blind... so tokens just gonna have to do it for me :)
Anyhow, back tomorrow - off for a day in the city and hotel before back to day shift Monday morning... will post when I resurface :)
HP:
Scrolls:
Unseen Servant
Charm Person
Sleep
Mage Armor
Alarm
Grease
Mount
Gravity Bow
Enlarge Person
Bull's Strength
=> 250 gp
** spoiler omitted **
Unless you are taking it as your spell for level 2, I would get 1-2 more Gravity Bow and 1-2 more Mage Armor(You should get Mage Armor at level 3 from Draconic Bloodline). Sleep is the only one I would drop from that group.
Nice pics, Mark!
Great stuff - did you say you got all minis by opening just one case???
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Yep - apparently Paizo insisted on it and Wizkids have fallen in line. A sealed case 'should' have a full set of 40, and I think you 'shouldn't' get any duplicates within a brick.
But the packing is done by hand, so it's not 'guaranteed'.
What happened to Grmbln?
Could one of my fellow HoP-ers with a bigger knife and stronger muscles then Phil please slink forward and get to the Italian killing?
*turns and looks at Gregori with huge puppydog eyes*
I do not think that Grmbln has posted in several weeks, at least not on HoR.
neither in HOM nor HOP =(

I just stumbled over Abney Park's Airship Pirates! Great Setting, very good rules (same as Victoriana) - a hearty recommendation!
