Re: [OOC] The Tavern

Sorry it took so long to get a post out! After my procedure last Monday I could barely sit up without severe migraines setting in. People warned me that that would happen, but I did not expect anything like this. I'm still getting them, but now that I am back on my meds that are slowly getting better and better. I'm posting now. :)

That sounds absolutely terrible. Hope things continue to get better for you. Yikes!

Re: [OOC] The Tavern

Yeah it sucked bad. When they took me off my meds before the spinal tap I had migraines, but not to bad. Nothing like the ones I had after the procedure anyway. The one's after were horrid. I hope I never have to ever go through that again ever.

No reason to TPK this close to the finish line... Let's go back to camp and return in the morning. We're under no time rush that I recall. I'd even say we fast forward if reasonable. Alak's warning has me spooked!

What's the plan? Open the door to the secret room? Peek behind the last unopened door (door Q on the map). Go back and R&R all over again?

To Maerk's point there isn't some looming deadline to force you moving forward...HOWEVER...you did find  evidence in the vault (next to door Q) that someone else has been poking around here recently. Not saying one way or the other (i love a good mystery) BUUUT just throwing that onto the pile for consideration.

Let's check the vault/Q thing. Then we can rest up... Maybe.

Yay!  For those who started using PathBuilder, it's now available in a normal Webapp, here: https://pathbuilder2e.com/app.html

I actually installed BlueStacks on my PC so I could run the Android version, back when we started.  This is a lot easier to get to AND it is more functional.

I love pathbuilder,

How do you find the web app to be more functional?

It has more feats and choices available.  Perhaps it would only take updating the Android app to get the newer stuff, but I'm no longer interested in using it.

GM, what do you think about us making significant changes to our characters, or even swapping out the character for a new one?  I made choices for Nezaglomie in my ignorance that I'm not very happy with.  I had assumed that the dragon ancestry would help with the fire spells like it does in PF1, but it is really only meant for sorcerers who plan to melee in altered form -- clearly not Za's strength.

If I change Nezaglomie to be Elemental Fire instead of Draconic, that's a lot more like what I had intended her to be in the first place, and isn't really much of retcon, since she'd have a similar spell list.  Whaddya think?

Side Note:  The first level focus spell for an Elemental Fire Sorcerer is Elemental Toss https://2e.aonprd.com/Spells.aspx?ID=505, which I had first considered to be the single most useless spell I had ever seen.  After all, it is the same mechanic (still needs a successful attack, does fire damage) as my cantrip Produce Flame (d8 vs. d4+4, because it doesn't get the "plus your spellcasting ability modifier").  There is a tiny difference, though, in that it is a one-action spell rather than a two-action spell.  There have definitely been times when I wanted that extra action for something else.

BTW, I only recently learned this:  The focus spells are basically once-per-encounter rather than once-per-day.  You can refocus one focus point in 10 minutes after an encounter.  This, of course, didn't matter to me before because my focus spell is so useless to me, but I'm now playing a bard in another game where it is very important.

Regarding the focus spells. There are ways to expand your focus pool as well. Though never beyond 3. But that still makes it 3 times in an encounter and then refocus for in 10 minutes.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern

It definitely matters not unless GM is willing to let me significantly change Nezaglomie to be an Elemental rather than Draconic sorcerer.  I'm seriously considering just retiring her and starting over with a new character.  If I were to do that, what does the party need?

Re: [OOC] The Tavern

I'm seeing this as a learning experience, so you have my vote to try a change... ;-) I'm enjoying PF2e though, it's kind of refreshing after being inundated with so much 5e. Shame this system hasn't caught on more.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern

Just just tell me privately what changes you want to make and we can figure something out. I will look into it but for now I don't have objections about switching a focus as you suggested.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern

I'm cool with changes too. If you're unhappy, then IMHO you should be allowed to make something, that keeps you happy. You're a good player. :)

BTW sorry for my lack of posting the last couple weeks. Had a relaspe from my issue because the meds were not helping the fluid drain from arround my brain fast enough so they had to up them. It left me a bit (alot) blaise. Anyway, back now!

BTW mk 2. This threads almost at 1000 posts. ;)

Sorry, is this the GM speaking?  You posted as Sularius.  Anyway, I'm looking to change as little as possible of what I have actually used.  Probably the biggest bit of retcon is the opening scene, where Nezaglomie used the fire resistance aspect of her dragon form, which would have been impossible.  That and dropping the fairly useless True Strike spell, but instead I would have had Elemental Toss which would have served much the same purpose (that is, getting me an extra attack roll in rare occasions).

Re: [OOC] The Tavern

Yeah sorry that was me. I must have accidentally hit a key so it didn't default me as the DM.

Don't worry about the fire resistance thing, we'll just call it a bit of prestidigitation showmanship :D

I've made the switch on your character sheet. Besides what you talked about you had selected burning hands as a 1st level spell but I think elemental fire gives that to you so I think you get a new spell. Double check and if i'm right just shoot me a PM with your new choice.

But yeah, swapping out that bloodline is pretty minimal impact from my perspective.

OK.  Thanks.  I'll update the sheet with the 3rd level stuff ASAP, which is probably not until tomorrow.

Re: [OOC] The Tavern

I have to say that I've been smiling every time the pigs ears have come up.

My daughter and I are both foodies (I should clarify that both my kids are in their 30s.), so every year on my birthday we have a cook-off.  My son buys the buys the "secret ingredients," then we have three hours to shop (I live 2 blocks from Whole Foods) and prepare a dish or a meal based on those ingredients.  Then the whole family judges the results.  It's just for fun and we aren't really that competitive about it.

Anyway, the protein in the secret ingredients a year ago was pig ears.  It was quite the challenge.

On a different note. My dog loves dried pigs ears.
