Perhaps something like one of the amateur feats.
Gunslinger
Investigator

Amateur Bard?

I just looked through all the feats with aid in the text and nothing like it showed up. Shrug

So no feat covers that; I thought so as it is class features and spells that allow people to aid the whole group...

We also need long forked poles to push away ladders if they get any to the walls.  How many of the catapults are still in service?

None of the catapults are in service no one (at Oleg’s) has the engineering knowledge needed to repair the machines

I am suggesting you inquire in the gameplay thread
They have some ideas...

Ah I may be about to be kicked from the game for being a pain in the ....
How much engineering knowledge do you need to repair them?

One rank in engineering would allow for an attempt
But you might want some aid in making it happen
Guidance will add one
Helpful will add another 3

The right magic will let you roll twice fe take the best result

Success will tell you how much and how long

Tauron looks at his feet and shuffles them a little.

Um.  I did bad thing.  I passed to saving throws nobody else did.  I am sorry.
I must say I never thought the engineering skill would ever be needed.


So I can cast guidance on myself.  If someone can use helpful.
Maybe I can put up with Razmatin Vulcovila bad singing for the good of the party.

My base is +3 as not class skill but I do have good Int.

Anybody has re-roll ability.

If so and if people would like.  I can put the catapults back in action?

In reply to Tauron Alphmellon (msg # 953):

Strange result passing a saving throw....
Never say never..

In character it will be better to look at the catapults and realize that you have knowledge of geometry and physics; materials strength and uses
That you never studied....

As Tauron come from place of study I think more likely is mind wonder off he own studies and ended up reading someone else book on engineering.
The person sitting opposite him.
He was however at the time reading it up side down and his mind was day dreaming at the time.

How somehow the memory come back and brain turned the plans and book the right way up.

Does that work for you?

As for never say never.  Ah.  I am in another game.  My character made critical failure on a knowledge check.
The party is about to believe that an evil hag is trying to take over the local town.
Never in a game has one bad roll going to have such big long term effect on a game I am in.

That’s fine as well some sort of reason

There might also be the ability to take 10 or 20? Maybe the initial roll to determine if there's time.

I don't have the skills to help, though I'll definently offer my assistance if needed.

FYI, this thread is nearing 1000 posts. Not really a big deal as this is an OCC thread.

I do have an interesting plan on the catapults
Depending of course on how it goes

Will post on catapults in next few days.

Mikmek is with us correct?

Yes he is
The mite Druid prefers not to come inside
..... though Imiria has been trying to coax him to stay on the roof with herself


It is a lot of activity going on
But right now it is the official war council...

Alright, back after some time consuming issues at work.  Will post to the council thread here shortly.

No worries I know RL comes first and games ebb and flow

Okay. What are we doing?

war council

Things have slowed down a bit.  How is everyone doing?

Not wanting to run over everyone. I was waiting for at least one more to comment before I made another.

War council can be fairly brief
Everyone can talk about the direction they want to go.

First is Svetlana wanting to know you lot will be there
Second setting immediate defenses
Third the wood for the catapults

I can't remember, did the kobold stay with the mite and his spider or did he come with us?

Mikmek was coming along
Though I don’t recall if he left with you.

It is safe to say he is there
