journey by airship.

Put head in hands.

I am in another game and airship is bad idea.
journey of the dammed for the players but for this game airship sounds good to me.

In reply to Enoch (msg # 620):

Or try flapping your arms really fast.

There are ways to protect the balloon... both magical and non-magical.  Just saying.  There are also flying carpets and other things that fly, even mountains turned upside down. .

Netheral how I remember you.

There are also elvish teleportation gates.   I'll add link to this later, very nifty.

We'll see be wary of the flying spiders.....

Since I've planned my thing out with it I hope it works out okay :)

new post fixed for airship scene.

Aisent, please see my request for you, you may do rolls for next round as well, if youd like. and you may post what I requested in the meta hash thread, also if youd like.

For those waiting on me for things, I will get to them soon.

i'm not sure why things suddenly got so quiet, a lot is happening in the U.S. though so it's reasonable.

I will post an update to the airship scene tomorrow.

I think all us in the airship posted :)

I do not believe the riots and such are organic....someone organized and paid for them, I'm pretty sure...

Are you waiting on anything from me?

I see that aisent, thank you.

I was surprised by family hot pot and now it's late. I'm sorry airship crew, it's going to be another post incoming tomorrow notice for the night.

Mako, you hadnt told me you were ready.

Ah. Well, assuming that my assertments about the spellbook and getting someone to perform the ritual for me are accurate, I think my sheet is ready for review, and I'm ready to get started.

It seems to me, only the person preparing spells can benefit from the preparation ritual. If you can prepare, I would even allow alchemists preparing formula's to count since they also have preparation rituals, you can use the ritual. If you cant, you cant.

Can UMD emulate spell preparation for purposes of unlocking a ritual?

If you learned of the ritual as part of a prepared spellbook, prepared formula book, prepared meditation book, or prepared prair  book, then you have to  have at least three spells, or formulas from the book.

You can't get around this, can't UMD, can't sing, or dance, or mechaSheva around it.

This is if the ritual is gained from  a prepared source. It is possible however to learn rituals from other sources, but in all cases rituals have certain conditions associated with them,  and those conditions have to be met. As I've said before, Mako, if you aren't a spellcaster, then either hire one, or obtain one through the downtime system, or discuss a plan with the Meta to ttry and gain the ritual through another means other than via a prepared spellbook. I forget what ritual you want, so can't recall if there is already other ritual forms for the one in question, and yes some rituals don't require you to be a spell caster, or require a UMD check (no ritual allows for a UMD check that I'm aware to get around its requirements),  but if you tell me the ritual, I'll check into if there is another existing means for getting the ritual already listed in source material.  Keep in mind all the rituals if not from a prepared book aren't easy to  perform, usually requiring more than one person, and multiple checks.  If you want I can link you to a few rituals to demonstrate what I mean.

I'll try and check back in tomorrow, but as a crisis shelter volunteer, and given current matters, as you can understand I'm a bit on the busy  side.

In reply to Mako (msg # 633):

https://www.d20pfsrd.com/skills/use-magic-device/

Emulate a Class Feature: Sometimes you need to use a class feature to activate a magic item. In this case, your effective level in the emulated class equals your Use Magic Device check result minus 20. This skill does not let you actually use the class feature of another class. It just lets you activate items as if you had that class feature. If the class whose feature you are emulating has an alignment requirement, you must meet it, either honestly or by emulating an appropriate alignment with a separate Use Magic Device check (see above).


In my case, the Class Feature is Spell preparation. So if I make a DC 21 check for UMD, I can emulate the preparation of a level 1 spell.


The ritual in question is

Efficient Creator (Su) You can spend this boon to use the magic item creation rules to create items with the Craft skill for one day. When doing this, your material costs are equal to half the final value of the item crafted (rather than the normal 1/3 of the cost for using the Craft skill). You can craft items with a cost greater than 1,000 gp by expending this boon over successive days, in the same way magic items with a cost over 1,000 gp can be crafted over multiple days. You otherwise follow all the rules and options for magic item creations.

From the Ocult book, regarding rituals we have this.


From here it goes into the rules for constructing occult rituals and what have you.    For some reason my PDF of this book doesn't allow me to directly copy and paste, so I'm paraphrasing slightly. In either case, Mako, best of luck to you, because that's a fair number of roles at a relatively high number   at level one.

The spellbook contains

1st—alarm, anticipate peril, expeditious construction, floating disk, hold portal, magic missile, protection from chaos, unseen servant

So lots of 1st lvl spells.

So what is the DC for obtaining the ritual? DC 21?

Yes, and you can't take ten or twenty on it.

You got to role.

Also, if you faile  you got to wait twenty-four hours before you can try again.  Well, you can also get someone else to try it, but your character has to do the waiting game.

Preparing spells could technically be considered the spell casting feature... I guess... As it is an aspect of said feature. And you can umd spells... Too... I was kind not against letting you umd but my brain is starting to see the logic of it.

And enoch just presented what appears to be actual rules run just that way.

Sounds like a green light to me mako. I'm probably going to research what enoch found but assume yes for now

Airship post incoming

Hey guys, I'm bowing out of the game.

Thanks for the initial gameplay, and RP fun that we all had! Have a great rest of the year, and hopefully I'll see you sometime soon!

Sorry to hear you are going to leave, I'd love to get more of us together :)

If you got scared about my numbers in the die roller keep in mind I'm one of the folks that started with the huge amount of gold, but I didn't want to be a ruler, so all of my gold is in equipment...don't cast detect magic on me...safe to assume almost everything is magical....

Just to let you know that even though Blythe is leving the idea of magic shop is not dead.

I was working behind the scenes with Blythe.  I had the idea before I joined the game.
My shop will not be of power or standard Blythe would have been.
I started with basic gold.  However I hope to build my shop up.
Even have a network of shops and player working for me if possible.
