Still here as well
Alright question time! Is everybody enjoying these tangents? Does it feel more like a living world, or does it feel too unfocused?
It works.
Although, I think we could move on to the meat of the game. There's much more to this AP than just the party. :)
It feels very much like a party, which is to say one person doing something while everyone else stands around watching. Adding goblins into the mix definitely makes it a more interesting party, but it still seems to be one person attempting to do something while the rest of us are finding our own ways to not be bored and wander off.
They're fun, but would perhaps work better happening all at once so no one's left sitting. In a real life game, they'd be awesome, since they'd only take a few minutes to resolve, but PbP is a different beast. No worries, though, mate. :)

Ditto.
Anyone else download goblins 4 yet? Looks fun.
It does say we're supposed to be level four before we start it, so I think we may need to do some supplement adventuring or use fast track XP if we're doing the three AP'S as one run. :)

Or we can just suddenly become level appropriate at each point as needed and do without XP.

We'll see how efficient you guys are before I award experience. I'm pumping up the difficulty of a couple of fights, If it's a fun fight, I'll probably use auto leveling, if they're still relatively simple fights, I'll run through xp and decide, if you all want, we can do supplementary adventuring. Let me know.
I'd only suggest supplementary if we aren't level 3 by Goblins Too or level 4 by Goblins Free.
Questions on Eidolon...
1. If they don't have the Mount evolution, that means they're not combat trained as mounts.
I'm assuming then you can't guide then with the knees and actually have to spend a move action to guide them? Also if fail the ride check to control them, you lose the rest of your turn. You also have to use one of your hands which means you can't use two-handed weapons and such?
2. Without the Mount evolution, does the evolution count as an ill suited mount, and as such means you take a –5 penalty on the Ride checks.
He does not have the Mount evolution, so 1 is correct. He is not "combat trained."
But he is smart enough to walk on his own. He's not just an animal. He also has a saddle.
He's quadrapedal, and again has a saddle. I think "ill suited" is for things like trying to ride people or snakes. He is almost the same as a Goblin Dog, which we ride frequently.
Almost all of this is settled with the simple fact that I don't plan to ride him in combat.
Happy 4th of July, everyone!
Yes, happy birthday, Murica. ;)
Sorry I missed that I had Chomper. Brain told me I had gone already, sorry. XD
In the States, it's every good little goblin's duty to go see fireworks today. So I'm off. Enjoy today were ever you are in the world.
TTFN

Okay, seriously, everybody do not post out of turn without a reason given as to why, like if you've got family things to do over the next couple of days, Zashi, you obviously have some problems so you and chomper will go on the same turn from now on. You'll go with whichever one of you has the lower init bonus.
Sorry. I took it down. I thought we'd cycled through.
My bad.

Full disclosure! In this campaign I will laugh as you guys crash and burn by pvp. This is part test and partly entertainment.

YES, DURK IS CANON! LOL
We are competitive, and hopefully entertaining, at least.
Oh you guys are quite entertaining. Though you slaughtered that spider far too easily, should have gone with the spider swarms instead of the advanced creature template.
When the shadows draw near. Not too much information about this, but it sounds like it could become either a wonderful murder mystery or the beginnings of an occult game. If I didn't have so much on my plate right now I'd put in for it, but since I can't, and I was asked too, I'm plugging it.
Idk what it is, but modern settings actually don't really excite me in RPGs. I had a heck of a time trying to get into the Mage: The Ascension game I was playing with some friends. I don't know why, but for some reason I just connect with fantasy much more. Thanks for the link, though!
(I did also see your Way of the Wicked interest check. Definitely interested in that, and I like the idea of starting with NPC classes. Ups the challenge level some, which I enjoy.)
So, by killing the spider so quickly, we kinda missed out on some pretty serious loot. I didn't want to say "let's search the area" because that would be metagaming, and not cool. But, now I'm kinda worried we might really need that. Is there another way we could reclaim that? I have to say, the way it's found is very easily missed, especially if we're not using the pregens because of how circumstancial it is. Especially for something that important.
That is why i didn't assume you were moving, and why I had it try to run off in a certain direction before dying, but nobody picked up on that thread so no.
"No care! Go! Have extra goblin, Zashi, to absorb damage with. And where did weird snake narrator go?"
Just noticed I forgot to include my size in my AC. Derp.
Everybody admit it if you did the same, I want to see who screwed up and laugh.
I bring shame upon all power gamers everywhere...
just remember, the only time it came up was when you were fighting creatures the same size as you.
lol... heading to work. Will post when I get home.
Sorry. The thread didn't say anything was new. Stupid bugs. :/
I'm starting to see why GMs hate the summoner. Check in every day if you can, even if it's only once.
Oh it's easily the cheesiest, most broken class in the game, unless you're counting the path of war stuff.
Yes well, at the time he was making Chompy, he was basically our only fighter, I don't think we even had Urk yet. So while I am getting annoyed, I also don't blame him, this WAS our front line.
Oh, yeah, pounce quadruped eidolons are especially silly. I don't know how it ever seemed like a good idea balance-wise to make Pounce a 1-point evolution...
I don't know how they thought it was good balance wise for them to give a number cap of attacks that's three at level 1

This from the pouncing sneak attack goblin? ;)
Except I don't get to make all three attacks after jumping out. ;)
I can change stuff if the general consensus is that he's not working out. Just let me know what I can do to make this better for people. :)
I'm not too bothered by it - it'd be Korak's call if he thinks things are dying too quickly. :)
Or he could just send in more pit fiends!
Chomp is pretty much a 1-trick-pouncing-pony. The GM could give him a math problem and it would be all over....
Actually I've simply come to the decision that giving things more hit points and adding to the numbers is more effective, but that's the part of the point of running these, for me to gain experience on what works and what doesn't. Giving Lotsalegs advanced template, doesn't work. Adding a second cr 1 creature, doing pretty good so far.
Adding hit points usually works. Besides, critter hit points are just too...average, you figure some along the way have to have above average.
I would recommend Google Drawing in Google Drive for interactive mapping.

Still pit fiends. *Nudge nudge* You could also just reskin things.
