I'm on A BOAT ... M***** F***ER!
As a note, I'm fairly sure casting a ray spell like that provokes twice. Once for the casting and once for making the ranged attack. You avoid the first one by casting defensively, but the free ranged attack that you make should provoke no matter what you do. That's the advantage of melee touch spells over ranged touch.
*goes back to lurking*
Ehhh... I think that's a bit of double-jeopardy. Making a ranged attack and casting a spell are both standard actions that draw AoOs. The sorcerer isn't taking two actions. The ray (and its required attack roll) are just part of the spell effect. A wizard casting lightning bolt against a close target wouldn't draw 2 AoOs.
@ Maeve... sorry for the confusion, and I confusioned myself on the order of actions. This is how it worked, in sequence:
R3 Goti casts magic missile
R3 Maeve double moves to get behind
R4 Goti defensive casts scorching ray, 5 ft step
R4 Maeve readied action to move with
R5 Ninja stuns Maeve
R5 Goti flees
R5 Maeve stunned
Does that make sense? It took me a little bit to sort it out.
Last call for Mal's R6 input...
As of this morning, I'll be on the road for a week. I'm not sure what kind of connectivity I'll have, but I should be able to continue posting. But, if things are silent, you know why! :o)
Can you use Mystic Insight on yourself? It seems to be quite specific about 'an ally'. There's probably a clarification buried in the FAQs I haven't seen.
I feel like we've been down this road before ...
How so?
FOUND IT, though it took me 20 minutes. Not sure the FAQ could be more painful to locate/use.
....I just realized something. It's more than just Goti in here.
Oh?
He shouldn't have had line-of-sight or line-of-effect to target that pit spell, unless he was using Improved Invis (which the other caster probably is doing.) And if he was using II, he wouldn't be visible now.
I see what you mean... I was going for LoE w/o LoS. Root cause: I detailed the room incorrectly (in game terms), in that the screens provide concealment, but no real cover. I told Harlan his target had cover, when I should have given it a miss chance (he missed the attack anyway, but still...).
Anyway, Goti is alone in the room... for now! :o)
And I just realized we've been doing Inspire Courage wrong all along- it's a Morale bonus to saves, but actually a Competence bonus to hit and damage. That means it stacks with Bless (And Good Hope later.) Oh well, score one for reading comprehension.
Yeah, at the time D20PFSRD.com and Herolab both had transcribed the ability as being just a Morale bonus - not sure where they got that from, but they've both been fixed in the X months since we started the game and it originally came up.
Lol!
You haven't checked Goti yet - I don't have the book in front of me ATM, but I'll list his gear later today.
Basically, the dungeon is clear and you are on flex-time until you decided to leave. Lute Haggersly is waiting upstairs also.
In other news, as soon as you depart Ravenscraeg, you've gained enough XP for 6th level! You can start working your level-ups. Please post the highlights here and don't forget the hit points house rule.
HP:
YAYAYAYAYAY!!!!! I'll work on that now.
EDIT: Okay: Inspire Courage improves to +2, added a whole bunch of knowledge skills on top of improving my Perform skills and Perception, and I'm going to start re-training my initial Improved Unarmed Strike out for Crane Style now that I get it as a monk for free. Equipment expended should be updated too.
EDIT EDIT: Also, hate to pester, but have our "special" items improved yet?
EDIT EDIT EDIT: Oooh, also, Arcane Strike boost!
EDIT EDIT EDIT EDIT: EDIT!!!!!! (...okay, now I'm just being silly)
+1 BAB
+1 to All Svs
+Magnus Arcana
+1 Memorized 2nd Level
+2 Spells to Spell Book
Goti didn't carry a whole lot of real value:
- mwk heavy crossbow with 20 bolts
- mwk heavy pick
- scroll of animate dead
- wand of control undead, 11 charges
- vial of deathblade poison (1 dose)
EDIT: And no, your "special" items haven't improved... yet.
What kind of damage bonus is Arcane Strike? Does it stack with the weapon's enhancement bonus? I always assumed not, but now that I read the feat, it doesn't specify.

Copy - if you can only post short bursts, pass the general gameplan and I'll fill in the details/rolls for you.
Question for you nomadicc. How will you handle the grease spell followed by a fire spell? I have seen different ways.
Honestly haven't thought about it... is there a "standard" ruling?
I will look for something official. Some say it can burn cuasing fire damage simular to alchemist fire. Others say it will not burn. I will try my search fu.
James jacob said no.
I know Heng's on the road, but I'll give him a fair opportunity to post each turn... say 4 hours?
RE: grease fire, did JJ say why not? (or link thread) Since I first saw the combo on Dragon Age, I thought it was a fairly cool idea.
They combo it on DDO as well.
Yeah, he's a good point about making a good spell awesome. I'll go with the 'no combo' ruling.
Copy - if you can only post short bursts, pass the general gameplan and I'll fill in the details/rolls for you.
i ain't got one of those fancy computer phones, just a notebook and i'm out in the woods of N arizona anyway. Currently in Flagstaff for a coffee break and internet peek : )
I agree with JJ on flammable grease. I'd call munchkin shenanigans on that.
Disregard threatened bonus. Hero Lab fail. That's for Hero Worship trait.
...or Best Friend, but both you and Maeve have Childhood Crush, which doesn't have the threatened bonus. Looks like a Hero Lab error.
*FACEPALM*
OMG you're correct! I swear I JUST checked that, twice!
Congratulations on completing the 2nd Jade Regent adventure! =D There will be a few "clean up" scenes to play through, which I'll get posted in the next day or so. Pretty much full-on flex-time at this point, so if there's something specific you wish to do in-game, feel free to start the thread.
Again, congrats and well done... I'm amazed we rocked through the whole thing in 4 months time! 1/3 the way through the AP!

You left behind the stores, foodstuffs, trade bars and less valuable goods.
My general loot selling rule is if it's gear, magical or not, you can sell it for half; gems, jewelery and artwork you can sell at full.
Parity would like the potion of vanish
Not really seeing anything in there Maeve would want.
Me either.
