For all your ooc needs

We have two people so far, I want to get at least one more. I would prefer to have more than than, but we will see.

The nice thing about this game is we can easily add people later.

You may notice you have two characters each. One is 'human', the other is 'Wanderer'. Your human wont have stats and just will be used for the intro session. They do need a description under your character details however. You will all be meeting as humans before you get to class/race/background selection.

We will be building your actual characters before that happens, so we will be ready to go as soon as you all 'transform'.

Edit-also, please pick a portrait for each character.

Hey all, looking forward to this!

Jake will be a middle-of-the-pack software engineer who becomes a Human (Beast-kin) Inventor

We have a 3rd player!

Welcome everybody!

I want to give it a little more time so we can get maybe 1-3 more players.

If anyone needs help with thier characters let me know. We will be starting at level 2, and everybody can get an extra heritage feat or a multiclass feat in addition to what you normally get at 2.

Howdy y’all. This seems like a really cool idea. Can’t wait!

I will be playing a sad almost given up on life young man who gets a new lease on a life that he despaired would not be his.

Kira will be your shark of an assistant district attorney turned Bard. Goal: win the game and buy back Earth for a grateful populace (or find a way to shut the whole scheme down- shh, don't tell anyone!).

David and Jacob, still need a description under your character from you two. Also a portrait for Jacob.

Everybody welcome our forth player, John!

We can start character gen seriously now, and I figure we can start play next week.

Does anyone need help with stats?

I have a free app that is great for charcater gen.

It's called pathbuilder 2. Highly recommend it.

I don't have any Pathfinder books so would appreciate any help I could get making my character.

In reply to Dee (msg # 9):

NP.

See if you can get pathbuilder in the app store. It should be free.

What sort of Cleric did you want to make? Just give me a general description.

Would you want to be a cloistered cleric(Temple priest, more magic) or a Warpriest (Heavier armor and better weapons)

Also, gods are not as standard as they are in normal Pathfinder.

Does your character decide to serve one of the alien gods, or just a ethical system from earth?
This message was last edited by the GM at 00:16, Fri 07 Jan 2022.

Cloistered cleric.

I will worship an alien god if there is one about freedom or something like that.

In reply to Dee (msg # 11):

Remember, it does not have to be. It could be a divine idea you bring into the labyrinth with you. Something you regard as sacred. It would need to be fleshed out a bit as you would become this idea's 'priest'. For example-Freedom might require you to never to capture or enslave anything. Killing is fine, but not chaining something or enslaving it.

Just a reminder, we are starting at level 2. Everybody will get a free multiclass feat or an extra heritage feat. Anyone needs help picking those let me know.

Hey all!

I'd like to recommend that everybody take a look at archives of nethys. It's a really really really really good website for Pathfinder and starfinder. I would say it's the best actually.

Good news, we have six players. We need to get the character sheets done. Dont worry about equipment. If you need help let me know and try to download pathbuild from the app store.

Hey all! Can't wait to get started, Tsukiko is a Priestess of Inari from the Kami-Inari shrine at Fushimi-ku in the Kyoto Prefecture of Japan.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fushimi_Inari-taisha

She's crossed over as a Kitsune Sorceress (Elemental Fire) or Oracle of Flame. Still deciding on the class part. :)

So I initially was going to go which but the GM told me somebody is multiclassing witch. So instead I might go either wizard or summoner with an alchemist as my multi-class so that I can try to feed healing elixers to the party and give familiars sneeze powders to drop on enemies, etc.

Just a reminder, everybody needs a description and portrait for both human and wanderer versions of your characters.

Hey all.

So I decided to set in stone my choice of class. I will be playing a wizard, with the alchemist multiclass. They both use intelligence, but more than anything I want to use his reagents to help supplement the party's daily resources and options. Especially if I get a familiar who can run potions to people during fights and stuff.

I haven't fully decided on school or universalist yet but I'm leaning toward abjuration or conjuration schools, which tend to jive well with me. I like illusion too, but tend to use them like a form of abjuration (i.e. like the hallucinatory terrain spell to cover our campsite, etc) rather than the full tricksiness a full illusionist would enjoy.

I'm going either familiar or staff thesis and still deciding, but strongly leaning toward the familiar so it can use items I make in fights to provide the party with support options. :)

Hey everyone.

Kira has dropped out, so I am looking for one more.

Even if we dont get it by the time you are all done with your sheets I will start.

:)

I've settled on Fire Elemental Sorceress. There is a spell in it's list that as a Kitsune I need and won't get as a Flame Oracle considering it's on the primal list and oracles get the divine list.

Classes so far:

Dee=Cleric(Multiclass unchosen)
Jake=Inventor(Witch Multiclass)
Tsuki=Fire Sorceress(Multiclass unchosen)
John=Fighter(Multiclass unchosen)
Conner=Wizard(Multiclass unchosen)

Alchemist multiclass. :)

What spell? There may be a way to get it for you still and oracle is very thematic for your character backstory.

In reply to Connor (msg # 23):

Corrected!

Dee=Cleric(Multiclass unchosen)
Jake=Inventor(Witch Multiclass)
Tsuki=Fire Sorceress(Multiclass unchosen)
John=Fighter(Multiclass unchosen)
Conner=Wizard(Alchemist multiclass)

Magic Fang, its only in the Primal list. And 1st level.
This message was last edited by the player at 21:33, Mon 10 Jan 2022.

You can get it at 4th level through Divine Access (Dahak) if you don't need it right away

Or multiclass, since it's a buff and the DC doesn't matter

Ok so I'm not like a specialist on the pathfinder rules or anything, but I took a look a Archive of Nethys and found oracle has a few options to get you what you want.

1.) 4th level class feat of Divine Access. The fire domain has a god named Dahak that grants magic fang. This means you can add it to your class spell list (if I'm reading the rules on Nethys right). You don't actually need to worship dahak.

2.) Take oracle primary class with a sorcerer multiclass and use primal as your sorcery list. Also at 4th level, the basic sorcerer spell casting will allow you to take magic fang as a first level primal spell in your repertoire.

3.) While not a perfect fix, I can give you energy mutagens that will let your strikes do some fire (or other energy type you want) damage.


It seems that if you want the spell, you can grab it at 4th level with a feat either through oracle class feat or a multiclass one, and we start at level 2 so level 4 isn't that far away.

The real question is how badly do you want to play oracle? If the answer is "it's my first choice of preference" then I say go for it and make your feats work for your concept and I can feed you mutagens until level 4. :P

Either way I'll not get it until 4th level. Multiclassing won't let me have it until I take the Basic Spellcasting feat for the Dedication I took which is a 4th level feat. That is unless GM fiat steps in and lets me take it at 2nd level instead.

Thematically Sorcerer or Oracle fit for my character as her shrine was dedicated to Kami -Inari. Inari used (this is Shinto mythology mind you) kitsune as messenger's, and there are 13 different types of kitsune. The thirteen different kinds of Kitsune each have their own element, including Heaven, Dark, Wind, Spirit, Fire, Earth, River, Ocean, Mountain, Forest, Thunder, Time and Sound. So going either Oracle or Sorceress works perfect. In fact when it came to either almost any bloodline or mystery fit. Almost.

The other real question is, how bad do I need Foxfire. :) Which is the reason for this debate. ;)

In reply to Tsukiko Kuki (msg # 30):

Is it just one spell that you need? Make the character you want, and magic items and such can fill in the gaps for that one spell.

I will be Talior making magic items for all of you. Due to an in game reason you will discover later...
This message was last edited by the GM at 22:24, Mon 10 Jan 2022.

The DM makes a great point, Tsuki.

If magic fang is literally the ONLY thing making you hesitate to roll an oracle...then just roll an oracle and the party and DM will make it work somehow. Playing the most fun concept is most important. As a player, I also want to see you having fun too and not letting magic fang be a hang up. ^_^

Yup. :) And I do want to try something new. :)

So it boils down to which mystery then. Tempest which covers the Wind, Thunder, and all the water kitsune; Flames which covers the Fire Kitsune; Cosmos which would cover the Heavens; or Ancestors which cover the spirit.

You don't actually need Foxfire at all for your idea. There are ways we can get you a produce fire cantrip or something.

I do think the idea of you being a fire Oracle of inari is really cool. I think you should go for it as it sounds like this is really what you was a player will find the most entertaining.

If you change your mind or your concept changes let us know and we'll see what we can do as a team to accommodate it.

Foxfire has the benefit of being able to fire off every action and it's a ranged touch attack in the sling category with no reload and the magical trait that qualifies as a natural weapon as well. So it has a lot of benefits. It just has low damage.

Produce Flame you can only fire off once a turn, however it also does 1d4 + the spellcasting modifier damage which in Tsuki's case is +4. It's also ranged touch attack.

So at the lower levels that are about equal. Do a single stride and then two Foxfire's or one Produce Flame and you'd be doing roughly the same damage. Where the curve slides in favor of Foxfire in lower levels is when you do not need to move.

Now higher levels it slides more in favor of Produce Flame because it scales and sadly natural weapons do not. But that's where magic comes into play because thing's like Magic Fang and Hand Wraps of Mighty Blows will affect her Foxfire because it is considered an unarmed attack. So that is how Foxfire gets benefit's at higher levels.

So Magic Fang is the low level need to get by, but ultimately Hand Wraps of Mighty Blows is the ultimate goal for her Foxfire (and maybe Claws if I choose that Ancestry feat later).

Well in that case. You should make the oracle and if you really like Foxfire then I can make you energy mutagens. They will grant you an additional one energy damage per hit for my level 1 mutagens of course I will slowly get stronger and be able to make you better ones. But if you're able to launch two or three of them a turn that should give you at least a little bit of a boost. :)

I also can get magic weapon which maybe the dungeon master will allow to affect your Foxfire. But like I said even if not I can give you mutagens like energy or quicksilver.

Produce fire...just a thought, but it scales over time too. But like you said hand wraps and other things can help buff your foxfire. I just wanted you to know that you have more options than maybe you were considering that would allow you to still play the character you really want to play.

Oh I know! That's why she's evolved the way she has! I really appreciate this discussion A LOT trust me. :)

So I went Oracle, went with the Tempest Mystery because it has a lot of appeal to me for a strong Kitsune as it hits a lot of elements. And I kept the Foxfire as it added in even another element as it is good to have some depth just in case of resistances.

I'm really digging her now. :)

Now to find a good multiclass. :)

My pleasure!

And hmmm...You could do a primal sorcerer multi-class. You'd have a ton of spells, both key off charisma, and increase your repertoire.

Or... You could take it in a whole different direction and instead of trying to add more magic you could try to do something that maybe embodies a different aspect of your character as a mundane human. Or perhaps you want to lean into Foxfire and you can take a multi-class like rogue or something that maybe will help you with your physical attacks or something much better than your normal class or a magical multi-class could.

I guess it really depends on what you see your character doing and the role that they're going to have in a fight.

Rogue Dedication would be kinda sweet, though I'm not sure how well I'll be able to hide with a storm following me around. LOL!

I was looking at Runescarred as well as some of the later feats in that arch are really good as well. Especially one that later allows you to gain an armor property rune on your body even if you're wearing armor, that STILL functions.

Not sure how much Thassilon Lore will come up in this game though, but whatever. lol

After some talking with the GM went a completely off the wall but very fitting route with my multiclass dedication. Beastmaster. :)

With an oversized fox as her companion. It fits Inari, and considering Daikitsu is basically the PF version of Inari...well, her too. ;)

Yeah, I'm loving this. :) This is going to be fun!

Ooooo...a beast master or even a ranger multiclass...something that gives you a full pet would be great for an inari priestess!

It would represent the affinity for communing with foxes and not just the divine magical aspects. Neat idea!

Yupyup! That was my thoughts!

So starting gold, do we get 2nd level starting gold as per this chart?

https://2e.aonprd.com/Rules.aspx?ID=587

Which is from the core book page 510.

I think DM is handling our starting gear.

In reply to Tsukiko Kuki (msg # 43):

You get no gold or equipment as of yet. If there is equipment that you wish, send me a pm as your wanderer character. All normal gear of limited expense will most likely be provided. The expensive stuff, not so much, but as I said your magic item will be tailored to your PC. If there is a magic item you really want, you can pm that to me as well.

Edit-You should list what stuff you had with you as a human, but it should be normal non adventuring gear that will largely be useless in the labyrinth.

I doubt she would have had much as a human given she was a shrine priestess.

Now a wishlist as her as a kitsune, that I can do. :)

Welcome Hershel everybody!

We have one more player in the wings, just working out the final details with them...

Now we have our last member, Nathan! We need to finish off our human descriptions and portraits. Then I can at least get started running the game while you work on your wanderer stats.

Morning. Glad to be writing with ya fellas.

Does anyone need help with thier stats and abilites?

I am working on the character. While I have played and refereed Pathfinder 1 since almost the start this will be my first foray into version 2

PF2 is not very hard to learn. In fact I find it just as easy as 5e was to learn and I been playing Pathfinder since day 1, D&D3.x since day 1, etc etc.

In reply to Nathan (msg # 51):

You can download a free app called pathbuilder which is very good. If you need help, just give me a description of what you want and I can make it. There should be online sources for the rules as well.

In reply to Tsukiko Kuki (msg # 52):

I have played almost the iterations of D&D since just after the the original white box set.  However I haven't played 5E yet. Most of my local group are not impressed with the latest and greatest from Hasbro/Wizards of the coast. I am pulling information from the Archives of Nethys.

I for one use pathbuilder for 2e. Works a charm and makes tracking progress easy.

In reply to Nathan (msg # 54):

Same here. I played the original D%D all the way until the current edition. Though that being said, I only played 4th twice and did not like it one bit. I do like 5th more than 4th though. IMHO 5th is what 4th could have and should have been if they were going for that simpler approach while still maintaining the feel of D&D.

As for Pathfinder 2nd, they went another route in making things simpler, as well as balanced. It took me a minute to get used to it but now that I am I'm liking it. My only complaint is the multiclassing system is not something I like. That being said though, I understand why they did it the way they did and that was for balance. The old way of doing it, when mixed with Prestige classes, would make multiclass characters way to OP. And this is coming from someone who LOVES playing multiclass Elf Fighter/Arcanist/Eldritch Knights. It can get pretty sick pretty fast if built right. A one character party.

Hey all.

So I settled with being an abjurer school wizard with familiar thesis and of course alchemist dedication. Working on the familiar today but considering an aeon wyrd with manual dexterity and independent as I really not only just like the imagery of them being this small swirl of like gems and stuff but I was thinking I could put tiny little potions and things into their orbit and the potions and other things like if there's a toolkit or whatever we add on to it later would just be swirling around inside of it and then when it needs to help someone it just uses a tendril of force or something and applies it to somebody. So it's just this flying swirl of like gemstones and potions and other stuff LOL!

That's epic! I was thinking about grabbing the Kitsune Star Orb feat at third level with the Ancestrial Paragon feat to get a similar thing. It wouldn't be able to do all the potions like your's could, but it would have other benefits I could greatly use. :)

I could see your Aeon stone and my Star Orb arguing over which is better! LOL! Then my Dire Fox just putting it's paws over it's face like 'Not again. Can we stop running into these two.'

Star orb is super cool! And there are actual kitsune feats that build off of it too like you can even get cloudkill and stuff on the thing.

And if you don't want the orb to actually ever be active it can just sit in your pocket and act like a big magical battery.

I am sacrificing some of those cool master abilities because I want a critter that can help disseminate some of the potions in elixirs I can make with my alchemist dedication to the party. Maybe I can have it drop caltrops and do other stuff too or do aid other actions I'm just trying to really think of ways I can support the party. Despite being an arcane magic user I actually have a lot of support options to bring to the group.

Yupyup!

The main thing I want it for is to be able to use the innate abilities 1 extra time. The made the Star Ord as an innate ancestral item instead of a magic item you can buy like the Kitsune Star Gem from first edition. And then made them cooler by giving them life.

The issue with Cloud Kill from it is I have to sacrifice the Greater Kitsune Spell Expertise to get it. Not something I wanna do because that gives me Confusion, Death Ward, and Illusionary Scene. The first and last of which could be very useful. As could cloud kill mind you.

Cloudkill isn't for everybody. I was just giving an example of how cool it was because like you said it's an ancestry fest and it has other feat support that builds off of it.

I like that kitsune magic stuff you're talking about as well. And the cool thing about the star orb is that as a familiar if you want it to be something that's like active and moving around you can just get abilities for it or if you prefer to use it as something that's more like a channel or a vessel of your power you can go that route too like with the innate ability thing.

Exactly! :) A neat little thing that gives a neat little ability and allows a neat little extra.

Question for the GM:

With regards to the Free Archetype, are we using the Free Archetype rules fully?

https://2e.aonprd.com/Rules.aspx?ID=1333

In reply to Tsukiko Kuki (msg # 62):

Indeed we are!

:)

Gonna squeeze in one more player, Malcom!

Always handy to have a champion.

:)

In reply to Dr Feck (msg # 63):

So that means I won't have to wait until level 2 to a get an archetype?
This message was last edited by the player at 20:59, Wed 12 Jan 2022.

In reply to Nathan Zane (msg # 65):

Everybody is level 2. Starting off.

Edit-The archetype feat you get is a free feat. You will still get your normal level 2 class feat. Or you can take an extra heritage feat instead of the archetype feat.
This message was last edited by the GM at 21:14, Wed 12 Jan 2022.

The Free Archetype is really the way to go considering we're following the Free Archetype Rules fully.

https://2e.aonprd.com/Rules.aspx?ID=1333

That's not to say that a Free Heritage Feat doesn't have it's benefits as well mind you. :)

So I think I have the Wanderer done but how do I share the sheet?

You post it to the DM in a private message, then if he approves then you can post into your character profile char sheet area.

cool thanks.

I created my character using an app I found. I don't know how to change her using the free archetype.

In reply to Dee (msg # 71):

You basically get a free feat to multiclass that you can qualify for. Or you can take a lvl 1 heritage feat that you dont have.

I will have to look at those. Thank you.

Look at me and my shiny new Portrait and Character Description. :)

::Human Mode::
John DeVore
Bounty Hunter
Age 30
In trouble by 18.  Choice of jail or Marines after 18.  2 tours. Joins para-military protection agency.  Friend dies.  He becomes a bounty hunter.

::Wanderer Mode::
John Miranescu
Bounty Hunter (Class: Gunslinger; No Multiclassing)
Age 30
John Marinescu wants money more than anything.  Growing up poor didn't help.  It did help him learn how to fight.  After years of training he can now fight with gun and axe at the same time.  With those skills he hunts down anyone or anything or, and this is his favorite, any monster to bring in the bounty.  He usually lives day by day only working towards more silver and gold.

In reply to John DeVore (msg # 74):

Looks good!

I will change your name now!

:)

Ok so the free heritage feat. I can’t find this. Is this an Ancestry feat?

In reply to John DeVore (msg # 76):

Yes, sorry that is what I meant.

Excellent.

Feck the two lists you wanted, of the stuff our human selves would have stepped through with, and the wish list for our wanderer, do you want those PM'd just from our wanderer name so you have both lists?

In reply to Tsukiko Kuki (msg # 79):

It can be a PM from your wanderer. Your human gear most likely will be whatever you walked into the labyrinth with. That wont be adventuring gear or anything like that. Just whatever a normal person would have on them.

Not sure I'd call a priestess from a kami-Inari shrine exactly normal...  But since they do in fact exist in today's world, I guess you can! LOL!

Alright, will send you said PM either later tonight or tomorrow after work.

I really don't know what to mention in a wish list simply because we're only level 2 and I don't want to like be greedy or anything. I'm comfortable with letting the GM pick whatever he thinks to be a good fit for my character.

I do think it would be nice to have an ioun stone for my familiar but that's something I can always get later. I'm more intrigued to kind of see what the GM ends up picking.

In reply to Conner Johnson (msg # 82):

Look, you should not be restrained when asking for something. Wishing for something amazing is not a problem. In fact, it lets me know where you want to take your Character in the future, so I can talior those rewards when they come.

That being said, nobody is getting an artifact at level 2.

:P

Awww schucks! And here I was about to ask for a staff of the magi. :P

The first official in game posting thread is up! Please describe how you got to the guildhall as your human selves. State weather or not you joined up with a group, and what happened to separate you from them. You don't need to describe all of them, just give me three people with a one sentence description.

If you left at once, please describe the wounds you suffered from the traps and/or the creatures that attacked you getting to the guild hall.

All humans need a description before posting!

Once at the guildhall, you will be arriving solo. However, you will be meeting the other PCs for the first time in your lives there, and all will be human.

Still waiting for about 3 more humans intro posts. Tonight we will move on to final reformatting stage.

In reply to Dr Feck (msg # 83):

GM I missed this request. I will work on the wishlist for the Wanderer this week. I, too, have problems for a wishlist as I still don’t know items in PF2e.

In reply to John Miranescu (msg # 87):

The wishlist is just that. Just write what you would like to see. I will be building items specific to your characters. If you dont know the pre existing magic items you want...Good!

Just tell me what you would like to see. Like a top 10 list of magical effects.

A good thing to go from for common equipment for your Wanderer class would be to find it's class in this list of class kits for 2e and list that equipment as your wishlist since it's 1st level gear you would normally buy anyway.

https://2e.aonprd.com/Rules.aspx?ID=240

After that, take a look through the following link if there is anything else you might desire that would fit your character.

https://2e.aonprd.com/Equipment.aspx?All=true

I will post as my human tonight after work.

Yeeeessss! Let's do this shiznit! Yeah!!! :P

GM - Wow!! What a fantastic opening move.

Fellow Players - WOW!!! Y’all can write.  Nicely done on asking questions.

FYI, I usually only have time to post at night after kids are in bed.  Since this game has really piqued my interest I’m going to work on reading and responding during my lunch hour too.

Go Team!!

GM, when we change to Wanderers would it be possible to change our default character to our Wanderer so we don’t have to select which character we post as?  I keep hitting “Post Message” without selecting a name as I’ve never done that before.

In reply to John DeVore (msg # 93):

I will take care of that now.

Please post any important notes from you PMs to me as your usernames rather than your Wanderer IDs. Tomorrow night I will delete those PMs.

Ok, from what I see we have 4 wanderer character sheets done. We need to get the other 4 finished so we can move into the gear phase, and then we will be ready to start the game fully. The gear will go very quickly, as common items will be just handed out to each character, all pretty much the same, and then the unique items will be granted.

Let's try to get the sheets done so IC posting can begin.

I think you should start the gear phase for those people who were proactive about finishing their character sheets, and who are currently chomping at the bit. :)

In reply to Conner Johnson (msg # 97):

I will give it to tonight, after witch I will delete the old PMs with your player names rather than your wanderers.

I highly encourage eveybody to post IC as a human before that. Just include how you got to the Guild Hall if you have not, and which race/class/background you tell the Guildmaster you want.

Wow folks!

You have really set the bar high with your intro posts!

So I transferred the wrong PM's to the wrong character. lol

This message was deleted by the player at 02:18, Wed 19 Jan 2022.

DM...clarification needed!

Are the four alchemical formulas the ones I get as part of taking my alchemist dedication (because he gets a formula book) or are these first level formulas IN ADDITION to those basic 4?

I'm not asking for more than you're trying to give, but also don't want to ignore a gift and need clarification.

My bite now does 2d8+4

In reply to Hershel (msg # 103):

Then don't forget to brush and floss after every battle  ;)

In reply to Nathan (msg # 104):

He does not need to. That's what the bird is for.

:P

In reply to Connor (msg # 102):

Just whatever formulas you should get normally.

:)

Ok thanks for the clarification. :)

If our character dies are we able to bring in a backup character?

In reply to John Miranescu (msg # 108):

Most likely it would be another wanderer who came into the labyrinth at a different time and place. However, due to the nature of the extra dimensional tech it could allow for people from almost anywhere in the world.

As long as we get the majority of players agreeing to form a party and ready to head out, we should be starting on the actual combat section next week.

Sorry for not posting today and yesterday. Not been feeling good. I’ll catch up reading and responding tonight and tomorrow.

In reply to John Miranescu (msg # 111):

Post when real life allows.

:)

I technically got to make daily preparation and spell assignment, right DM?

In reply to Connor (msg # 113):

Yes, that was part of the reformatting process.

Hero Point rules
Hero points reset to 1 at the start of each level of the Labyrinth, and when you take a long rest. When re-rolling a hero point made roll, roll the die roller until you get a 10+.

Got it. After work I'll declare my daily preparations and fix my bio line as well for those stats.

Ok spells chosen and alchemy items made for the day are visible in my character descriptiion.

Tsuki loot boxes and new gear is added to her sheet. Also noted which of her innate spells she has at the ready since she can only have one of the 3 prep'd for the day to use at will. It's marked with a bold and underline in it's list.

So sorry for the delay. I got my booster and it put me on my arse for a day. Then reality decided that was a good to play havoc. Things are getting back to norm. I am going to go catch up now.

In reply to Malcom (msg # 119):

Real life always comes first.

Just let me know if you can't post and I will freeze tube your character to insure they are ok and the rest of us can post normally.

In combat, I plan to give everybody a day or two to post, as we can't really hold for too long to keep the pace going.

Hi GM, is there a reason that my dark vision doesn't let me see the spiders?

In reply to Malcom (msg # 121):

Do you mean the giant spiders or the Spider Mites?

The mist is giving your foes concealment. The Spider Mites are using hiding methods other than darkness to stay unseen. You need a seek action and a perception roll to find them.

GM? Will you allow me to use my widen spell feat with activating my focus spell aura.

In reply to Connor (msg # 123):



As long as the focus spell meets the above requirements, you can.

Something I'm just noticing...is that duration thing. My whole Hope was to be able to use wide and spell not only on my focus spells protection Aura but when I can start making walls of force and barriers and stuff like that as well as things like cloud kills and so on I wanted to be able to widen those a bit and make bigger Force barriers and clouds and whatever.

But I think those spells technically have a duration right? So does that mean that the widen spell feat is really only used for things like fireball or color spray things that are essentially instantaneous duration? Because if that is so I actually think I might take reach spell instead of widen spell. I wanted to be able to use widen to increase the size of my abjurations and stuff like that.

Otherwise, I'd get more support utility from reach spell.

Will you allow use with spells with a duration?

Please advise.

In reply to Connor (msg # 125):

I will let you change your widen spell feat with ether duration spells or area spells. You will need to get two feats in order to do both.

The description says that the junction we have come across is wide enough for us all to fit comfortably. Do you have a diameter in mind? I don't want to be envisioning this as a 15 foot diameter when you are thinking it is 50 feet.

In reply to Malcom (msg # 127):

We are not using maps.

So this room not only seemingly has no ceiling, but it is big enough to easily hold 18+ people comfortably and has 4 side tunnels. All of which are also large enough for a group of 10 to walk easily.

Cool!

Mainly I wanted this to be able to like help me increase the size of my focus Aura once I get it to 10 ft Plus, things like walls of force or alarm spells or just anything like that along with stuff like clouds kills and such if we go there, etc. So this is great! I'll take the duration version now and consider the instantaneous spell version later.

Let me rephrase the question. If I were to be in the center of the room. Could the spiders reach me from the walls?

In reply to Malcom (msg # 130):

Maybe...

Muhahahaha!

Sonofa spider spit...

Please let me know if i'm missing anything. I decided not to post with a bunch of fluff this time just in case there was something I needed to fix. Subsequent posts will be more than just a single line.

In reply to Hershel (msg # 133):

Louise will have to make a seek roll. She gets two actions when you spend 1 action commanding her. If she rolls badly trying to find the spider mites she can try again with her other action.

Edit-also, when attacking a second time your attack bonus should be +4. You have a total to hit of +9. When you declare a hunt, your flurry reduces it even more. +6 on your second attack, +7 with an agile attack.
This message was last edited by the GM at 22:57, Sat 29 Jan 2022.

Because we are not using maps, everyone will get a reaction ability intercept. When a foe seeks to melee a nearby ally, you may instead take the attack and count that creature as engaged with you. Note this does use up your reaction for the round. This reaction cannot be used if you are already in melee.

Sorry about not posting for a couple days, I had a small illness hit me and throw me into mandatory bedrest. Thankfully it was not COVID, it was severe bronchitis.

In reply to Tsuki (msg # 136):

Not to worry, we have plenty of people yet to post. Just feel better.

:)

We need at least two more players to combat post in the next day or so. Then I can have the NPCs act.

Also, successful hits still need to roll for the concealment, except for melee combat rolls.
This message was last edited by the GM at 16:13, Wed 02 Feb 2022.

I plan to move on tomorrow night. Anyone who has not posted by then, I will have to NPC you.

Just a side note, you can re-roll your poisons saves with a hero point. So you should wait until the end of your action, then see what you roll. If you still fail, then you can spend a hero point and roll until you get a 10+

ok post coming tomorrow.

Is it our turn again?

In reply to Malcom (msg # 142):

Yes.

I've msg'd the GM, but wanted to say sorry here for taking so long.  I have a crazy home life due to my wife being paralyzed by ALS, and I have 6 kids (five age 7-12 and a 21 year old).

I have finally gotten that all figured out.  My work is the easy part.  So I can start checking and posting during lunch as well as at night after kids are in bed.

So thanks again for being patient with me.

Sorry for waiting, I was conviced I already posted!

I am gonna give Malcom till the end of today, and will post the next round of combat Sunday. I will NPC Malcom if need be.

Stuff has come up, but I will be NPCing Malcolm for sure by monday of he does not post.

I started reading the "Dungeon Crawler Carl" books.  Oh the first one is sooo fun!!!  Thanksf for the game and referencing the books.  I found something new to read :)

In reply to John Miranescu (msg # 148):

Book five should be out Feb 28th.

:)

I will be NPCing Malcom for a week or two. With any luck he will be back by then.

He's been my pillar so I hope he comes back.

Anyone who wants +1 to attack rolls this turn can spend 1 action to gaint hat as a temporary buff like Hershel did.

Cool thanks for the reminder.

I wanna say sorry for my silence. Had a minor medical emergency happen. All is well, I'm healthy and good.

Now for a fast question before I post my action. Since Keyla moved next to Tsuki with her one action wouldn't she also be in Melee with the Mite since you can attack diagonally?
This message was last edited by the player at 05:29, Sat 19 Feb 2022.

In reply to Tsuki (msg # 154):

Yes, she is in melee, but as a minion she requires you to give her an attack action.
This message was last edited by the GM at 00:48, Sun 20 Feb 2022.

That's fine, I was just making sure she was in melee. I'll be posting my turn today, she'll be getting some orders. :)

Well crap. I guess the little guys supposed to live! lol

That was fun. :) looking forward to more. :)

Agreed. I'm rather fond of the crew we have here.

Dee are you back?  Welcome Back!! :)

I assume you are headed north? The direction of the web symbol Tsuki told you about? Not to mention the fact Nathan pointed out all the fleeing mites headed that way...

In reply to Dr Feck (msg # 161):

I believe that is the plan

That's where John assumed where they were going.  Can't leave enemies alive or they'll get ya later.

Same. That's where Tsuki said to go. :)

Yes that sounds reasonable to me as well.

I should have something up later today.

Sorry for going MIA.  My wife went in to the ER and then admitted to the hospital tuesday evening.  Today is the first day I've been able to get to anything.  I'll catch up and post this evening.

In reply to John Miranescu (msg # 167):

Real life comes 1st. With any luck she will be fine.

Thanks Dr Feck.  She was discharged late last night and is home.  my kids are happy as am i.  Now to catch up :)

In reply to John Miranescu (msg # 169):

Congratz. Glad to hear it.

:)

Grats! I pray for a speedy recovery.

Let me know when you are all ready to go...

Im ready to breach. If only we had flashbangs...

Any comments on Connors suggestions about the mutagens?

And I am so down with torching the room and closing the door lol.

In reply to Hershel (msg # 173):

Given time we could find or make them. Until then I kill them with what we got

So...you plan to open doors while about half the team are on ether side of the opening. The doors open inward, not out. Then you set fire to the webs while quickly closing the door?

Are we ready to go with that? Remember, the doors do not open outwards towards you. If that is fine, we can start combat tomorrow.

I apologize for ghosting.  I didn't even realize it has been as long as it has been.  My life has been crazy since my wife got out of the hospital. I'll get caught up and post tonight.

If nothing happens in about a day or so Im going to start charging into places. I'll take the L with any traps just so we can keep some momentum in posting.

Or maybe earlier. :) I posted.

I should have soemthing up later tonight. I am gonna assume you go ahead with your current plan, assuming you all dont post something differnt.

I'm plotting my next move. Going to wait and see what a few others do first. Will post tomorrow after work regardless though.

DM...a question.

This will determine my action for the round and I forgot to ask yesterday night. But when we were healing and catching our breath after the last fight, did that count as a short rest for Connor to regain his focus point, or no?

I'd really like to use his aura right now.

If he does NOT have focus...he has those hero points. Can I use one of them to buy a focus point and power my aura? I think right now that +1 AC is a powerful defense we need.

In reply to Connor (msg # 182):

You do have your focus points restored.

Got it thanks for letting me know!

Connor, that's a cool ability.  I'm learning to play a Wizard in another PF2e game and it's fun figuring out new things.  Well Done!!

Dont forget your actual spells people!

Also, who has left to go in this round? Hershel and Dee, correct?

Thanks man! I'm trying to make the most use of it and in a party like ours I'm finding it's been very useful!

And actually...his aura is what made decide to try abjurer instead of conjurer or some other school. I wanted something that could help increase our options and support but in a way no other player could easily do.

I am posting today after work.

At this point John M just wants to get out of the web as he sees the wave of spiders striding towards them.  If I understand the first post from this fight, each attempt at escaping would take a penalty like attacking?  Or would the modifier stay the same?

Example #1, if it's always an attack action then A1:+8, A2:+3, A3:-1
or
Example #2, if it's just an escape attempt. A1:+8, A2:+8, A3:+8

I'm not sure how to roll it.  Either way, John wants to get the frack out of the webs.

In reply to John Miranescu (msg # 189):

Normally the multi attack minus is -5 for the second attack, and -10 for the 3rd.

Agile weapons reduces it to -4 and -8.

If you are a ranger using agile weapons and the flurry feature(like Hershel), its -3 and -6.

Those minuses are also applied to atheltics/acrobatics  attempts such as grapple, trip and escape. Useally its -5 and -10.

In reply to Dr Feck (msg # 190):

Cool Thanks.  I don't think I read that in the CRB that each action in combat acts like an attack roll.  Thanks

It depends on the action. If you cast a spell on yourself or an ally (a 2 action one that is), and then attack said spell would not count.

DM?

Roughly how many spiders/enemies/etc are going to come through the door next round?

I am considering having connor wait near the door and launch ready an action to launch a color spray spell right through the door at them. It's basically a perfect bottleneck chokepoint.

Although he is webbed and needs to maintain his aura so I may not...but knowing the opportunity cost will help me make a decision.

In reply to Connor (msg # 193):

Because of thier size and climbing ability, almost all the spiders, tiny or otherwise, can fit through the doorway.

Just remember, your hallway is also full of webs too. Granted they are now wet and soggy, but still slowing your movements.

Hmmm...I didn't realize how much the webs were still hindering us. So I think I'll pass for now on my color spray plan.

I should have soemthing up later today.

I will have to post tomorrow.

Oh my god. It was a WEBsite.

In reply to Hershel (msg # 198):

Ahahaha!

Remember, you guys have hero points. I am changing the rule on those points. Anyone who spends a hero point and gets less than a 10 on a re roll can count it as if it rolled a 10.
This message was last edited by the GM at 15:04, Sat 09 Apr 2022.

Sorry today just slipped away from me so I will be posting tomorrow probably after work sometime.

Not a single person has landed a hit this round. Funny RNG

Post is coming still tonight. I just need to shave and shower and then I'll post on my way to bed.

I'm waiting a day or two to see if Hershel takes his action first, because if he falls back or not I'll also have cabochon activate his ready action and feed him a potion but it's triggered. If not I'll post tomorrow or Thursday latest but trying to see if he posts first.

GM - I'd like to do a ricochet shot (2 actions).  I can't see any way all three shots would logically be able to hit the troll, but I could see that two shots do.  Would you allow this?

Aim for the troll.

If it hits it goes through him, then hits a wall ricochets to another wall then ricochets back to the troll for the second hit.

If it misses then it ricochets off the troll to the wall, hits another wall and hits the troll again.

Possible?

In reply to John Miranescu (msg # 204):

That would be pointless on one target. After all, you could just shoot the first guy once, reload, and shoot again. Or if you get a better gun that can hold more ammo, shoot the guy multiple times.

The ricochet is mostly for shooting extra targets. If you artifact gets upgraded, maybe you would be able to do so.

ok cool thanks. : )  Just trying to be creative and get my highest bonuses :)

I will be posting today after lunch.

DM: A question. But can cabochon use healing elixers by pouring them onto people from the air, or must they be drunk?

In reply to Connor (msg # 208):

Does the familiar have tk abilites?

Edit-just checked. It does have the manual dexterity familiar ability.
This message was last edited by the GM at 19:05, Sat 23 Apr 2022.

No but he can fly and can manipulate as well as a human can (physics be damned) so if skin contact for these elixirs works He can fly like 15-12 feet above someone and pour it onto them is my thinking.

I intend to do these tactics with caltrops and other stuff later but I was unsure if you are allowing skin contact to work for the elixers.

Does this mean that yes, I can pour elixers on people to activate them?

In reply to Cabochon (msg # 211):

Sure, as long as it would be something the familiar could normally operate as if it had hands. I dont think it's as strong as a person, but a potion should be no trouble.
This message was last edited by the GM at 20:09, Sat 23 Apr 2022.

Got it!

Sorry about the late post. Busy week at work.

As a side note...  I guess after the initial big boom hit I'm not allowed to hit anything. LOL

This was fun to read.  I could just imagine it happening. :)


This message was last edited by the player at 17:24, Tue 26 Apr 2022.

I'm glad that you enjoyed it! I figure there's going to be some fantasy physics element to this despite originally being in the real world which I think sort of actually strengthens the whole premise of the game and makes it more interesting.

I also sort of like the idea of turning our lizard Man and gargoyle into a living sponge. :)

uh oh the troll is regenning.  If we can get Fire on him again it looks like we might be able to take him down.

Does anyone have anything with fire that not only will work for one round but also cause recurring fire damage?

No but next time remind me to make fire flasks.

Most things like that in 2e only case recurring damage on a critical hit. A few spells on a critical failure of the save, or critical hit of the to hit.

Produce Flame would be ideal, but again you'd need a crit to get the continual burning effect. As you would with most things.

Sadly my Foxfire, even with the mods from the amulet doesn't have that effect, it just has the flame or electricity.

In reply to Tsuki (msg # 219):

I will rule that any fire damage against the troll will limit its regen for 1 round.

That's basically how PF2 regeneration works. If a creature gets hit by it's weakness it will deactivate its regen until the end of it's next turn.

https://2e.aonprd.com/Rules.aspx?ID=796

Ok thanks.  I still have 1e rules going through my head.  I'm playing a PFS 1e game on paizo.com's pbp forums.

Let's get posting everybody!

Well I tried to set up people to do a nova round on him.

Remember, everyone gets the +1 ac this round for being inside his aura bit you need to spend 1 of your 3 actions to gain the +1 attack bonus if you want it. But then that bonus lasts till your next turn.

Just an FYI for you people with multiple attacks, that an individual PC only needs to spend 1 action to get the bonus on all the rest of their attacks.

Still waiting for some more player posts!

Hey Doc, I noticed in some of the descriptions that there was "burning debris" around our battle site. Is there any chance that we can use this as improvised weapons?

In reply to Malcom (msg # 226):

Yes! But without fuel, it won't last.

Hi all.

I'm sorry to do this, but my life just took a turn and I won't be able to spend the time necessary to play in this game.

Thanks for the fun time so far :)

--Will

Still waiting for a couple more PCs to act. I will have to post for them on Monday if they don't post by then.

I will post on Tuesday. Anyone who has not posted will be NPC'd so we can move on.

Sorry about late post. Should have something up this afternoon.

Anyone else planning to make a IC statement before we move on?

I mostly would like some buy-in from everybody else for Connor's plan of pursuing the safe room closest to the exit and then trying to essentially clear out the exit area to give us room to breathe. And then from there using it as a headquarters to explore and maximize the use of our time before it's ready for the level to collapse.

In reply to Connor (msg # 233):

I am probably going to downtime that stuff, let you level up and then go to the confessional before you all move down to the next level down.

That's fine. :)

Mostly I was trying to see if the party could try to find any more boons as well as more XP or any items that we can use and if you're able to summarize it that's great I just wanted to put it out there and have us actually do it because we have multiple in-game days and I didn't want to waste that time.

I am suspecting that the way to win this game is the maximize the usage of the time that we have allotted to us.

You guys are up!

Got it. Planning my move. Will post after work today.

Sound off!

How many active players do we still have? If it's less than 3, should I start looking for more?

One fluffy foxgirl here!
This message was last edited by the player at 13:09, Fri 10 June 2022.

I'm here.

I be Here

Well, that's 3. Do we want some more? I was thinking about NPCing Dee due to her party use as the group's healer. However, you don't have any melee fighters. John M, Hershel, and Malcom are NPCs effectively. I was thinking of sending them off and maybe have them come back later if their players ever return. Alternatively, I could offer them to new players.

What would you like to do?

Ok, so I am thinking I am going to put up the player's wanted sign. As character creation can be a bit on the labor intensive side, I might ask people to fill in for Hershel, Dee, and Malcom.

Nathan, I need a post from you in order to move on.

Hello folks, I'm new here.

Heya newbie! I'm the resident storm ridden fox girl!

Hello Tsuki, I think we may have met in a place where I am called Nour.

Welcome!

Yup. I actually made this Tsuki before that one. This one is very different than that one too. I tend to recycle names a lot.

The GM in that game plays with me in two other games, and talked me into joining her's. Course, I talked her into joining mine too, sooo, lol

In reply to Connor (msg # 247):
Thank you Connor

I'm gathering my thoughts so will post tomorrow after work.

Welcome to the fun

Thank you Nathan.

Ok, we now have 3 new players.

The other two still need to finish off charcater creation, but we can go ahead with the current scene with the 3 existing pcs. Once you 2 get to the confessional, I will introduce new PCs officially in game.

New PCs, feel free to introduce yourselves once your wanderer description and portrait is chosen.

And good aftrenoon (well, here anyway) to you all.

Looking forward to playing with you, though i've still to go through the character creation process. I've got a fairly good idea of what direction i'll be heading into though.

It's afternoon here as well Chalei'nh

Hi folks!

I'll be the other seven-footer, a gnoll. For some reason, I really like the fluff around the PF gnoll, so here I am at last.

One question - new characters already have experience of this weird environment, yes?

In reply to Mo (msg # 256):

I see a future basketball team in the making!

:P

To answer your question, yes you have been in the Laybrith for less than a week. After stumbling across the guildhall and the guildmaster, your body was converted to your specifications into it's current state. Then you where sent out to find the Apex monster of your area in order to find the level map. Once that map is found, it would guide you to the safe areas and the next level down. If you did not get to the stairwell before a week is up, the level you are on and all its matter is converted into the next Laybrith zone.

Thanks for the reply!

But... Could we make it volleyball instead?

Welcome new people!

Didn't realize you were still recruiting this much so will hold off a bit in game. Give them time to do char creation, etc. Plus, I need to go tally up loot and update my sheet and balance my numbers etc anyway.

In reply to Mo (msg # 258):

Two would be a perfect number for Beach Volley so you wouldn't at least three more for basketball or four more for indoor volleyball.

BTW I recall there was a video game that beach volleyball and martial arts action. Does anyone recall the name of the game?

In reply to Nathan (msg # 260):

Sepak Takraw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnxW9nB7xqo

Stats are almost done for the new players. Old players should respond to the guildmaster so I can move the scene along and get the new players in ASAP.

I'm sorry for the slowdown this weekend I was extremely busy between Father's day as well as Monday today being a holiday the Juneteenth everything just kind of came to a halt with my personal life. Hoping to get back into the swing of it starting later tomorrow after work.

Np. Real life comes 1st.

However, we have other players who would like to post. So we need to speed up this scene.

DM, can you please clarify the front of the class boon?

It seems everyone who participated in the apex fight got it, but I cannot tell from your description if We each get something from it if only 1 person gets a book, quill and ink, and 100 silver? It just seems weird as it looks like it's a boon we each would get.

Please clarify and advise.

In reply to Connor (msg # 265):

Only Tsuki gets the front of the class boon.

Got it! I'm just trying to update my records and want to make sure I'm doing this right before I proceed in the scene.

I'll get a post out tomorrow. Storms rolled through where I live last week and we only just got power back on the past weekend, then my work week started. Between that, and cleanup from the storm I've been torn to the nine winds. I do apologize.

This is what hit us:
https://www.wane.com/weather/s...ategory-2-hurricane/

https://www.wane.com/news/phot...path-of-destruction/

In reply to Tsuki (msg # 268):

Gah!

Get to storm cellar stat! Or better yet, just get the heck outta there!

In reply to Dr Feck (msg # 269):

Heh, wish I had a storm cellar. I do have a basement though. Funny thing is I have to go outside to get into it. lol

Thankfully a storm like this only rolls through like once a decade. Downside is each is worse than the last. The article that talks about it having the winds of a cat 2 hurricane says it had the strongest winds ever recorded in the area since the last one that rolled through a decade ago, which it itself set the record back then. It's insane how these derecho's are just getting worse and worse.

Well I'm glad you're okay tsuki!

Makes sense. Having the entrance on the outside means that, should the house collapse in a disaster, the exit is unlikely to be blocked (much) as opposed to rescue workers having to dig through several floors of debris to get to it.

I'm on a transatlantic work trip this week. I had thought that I would be able to post when I got in last Sunday but that didn't happen after a delay getting off the plane (Brexit). I have been playing catch-up ever since and having to prioritize work things.

Tomorrow I hope to start looking at games properly. I'm really sorry about that, I messed up my planning.

All new players need to worry about is finishing thier charcater sheets. I need one or two more posts from the existing PCs so I can move the story along to the next chapter and intro the new players.

Just need Nathan to post in order to move the scene on.

I will be advancing the scene tomorrow. Please anyone not done with your sheet proceed to do so.

Will you be granting us a short and/or long rest?

In reply to Connor (msg # 277):

Indeed, but not in the 'standard' way.

I guess I want to know if I can re-select spells for spell slots, etc.

In reply to Connor (msg # 279):

Yes you may.

I'm gonna need another day. I promise we will have full updates tomorrow, and I will bring in the new players.

Sorry about that.

Och that's life, ken?

In reply to Dr Feck (msg # 281):



:D

In reply to Chalei'nh (msg # 283):

Tomorrow! I promise!

:P

Everybody can now post in the confessional! Pleas finish your characters sheets if they are not done.

Waiting for Mo and Tsuki to post so we can move on.

Edit-Tsuki's fox vanishes into her inventory and cannot be accessed here.
This message was last edited by the GM at 14:14, Fri 01 July 2022.

Ok, my apologies for the delay here. The trip back to Blighty was one thing but the work piled up upon my return was another. I thought I would be able to keep up on my phone, but the fonts in rpol, and especially the coloured speech, make that very difficult for me.

I have written a first IC post in the Scratchpad but, as I haven't yet passed my character sheet from Pathbuilder over to Rpol, I want to check that it is okay to post that?

Tomorrow I should have time to work on the character sheet.

In reply to Mo (msg # 287):

Good. We are still waiting for Tsuki, so you can run the sheet by me. We already did your magic item, so you are almost ready to go.

Paging Mo and Tsuki, I need posts from both of you so we can move the scene along...

Real life may have stolen Tsuki away from us, so hopefully she will be back soon. I will be moving the scene along today.

Fortunately, the way the setting is built makes it extremely easy for her to join up again at practically any moment. Here's to hoping she does though.

To be fair, it's still early days.

Yes thankfully she can just "have taken longer than expected" in the confessional or something and join us when she is back ooc.

Nathan, Tsuki, anything to add?

Is Dr. Feck Irish by any chance?

In reply to Mo (msg # 295):

Nope.

:)

In reply to Dr Feck (msg # 296):

Posted on confessional thread. I hope we didn't lose Tsuki's player to RL problems

In reply to Dr Feck (msg # 296):

Well good, because that would be all wrong.

I been sick. So while not lost to them, been under the sheets because of them! heh

Talk about a rough month.

Sorry you're not feeling good, Tsuki. Hope you get better soon!

Tsuki!

Welcome back, glad you could make it. Sorry to hear about you being sick, hope you'll feel better soon. :(

Thanks all I appreciate it. :)

BTW GM, what's this about Tsuki's fox vanishing into her inventory and not being able to be accessed?

In reply to Tsuki (msg # 299):

She's Back!

<Busts in in celebratory dance then falls down and spins on the floor>

In reply to Nathan (msg # 303):

*plays music*

You spin me right round baby right round...

Ain't nothing gonna keep me down! LOL!

So, I've never really understood RPol colour speech etiquette. It seems I opted for purple when Tsuki was already using it. Is that a problem?

Personally, I don't care as the player in question. :)

Cool, thanks

Yeah, there's no real unwritten rules about it. I've found orange is usually preferred for OOC messages in an IC post, and while usually every player picks a different color i've also been in games where player conversation was all in the same color.

It all boils down to personal preference.

Glad to see you back and feeling better!

:)

Yes, Tsuki's fox in currently in her inventory, as is Connor's familiar. You have come to understand you can put the fox in the inventory anytime you like. There is no ill effect, and the animal does not seem aware anything has happened.

Connor's familiar on the other hand, complains bitterly and can communicate with Connor via his HUD. However, the HUD is offline as well, so at the moment there is no way to summon or talk to ether of them.

I intend to move the scene along tomorrow. Get your last minute posts in while you can!

Do Posts Mean Prizes?

(Sorry, I couldn't constrain myself)

In reply to Mo (msg # 312):

Well, you may get prizes depending on how you do on the interview portion after the recap.

I will make another post after the players do. I need to know your reaction to this bizarre situation, as it has after effects. Please note-there are no wrong answers in this particular test. Do what is natural for you...

I owe a response but have been slowed down by COVID. Any chance of skipping over the rest of Mo's answer?

In reply to Mo (msg # 315):

I'm just waiting for the other players who have not posted yet. We can assume Mo is a little too freaked out to say anything more.

Get better soon!

:)

Thanks! I actually find it hard inhabiting a character until I have played them a bit. I do like what Moya is doing though.

Still waiting for a Tsuki post. Then I can move the scene along.

I will do so no matter what happens tomorrow.

Well, I lied. Real life clonked me over the head.

Sorry about that.

Updating tomorrow for sure.

Thank you! *curtseys*

Is Malcom and his player back with us?

I have returned.

I think reintroduction would more resemble this

Given the game show flair you are probably right!

Sorry the last couple weeks I was pulling 6 days until this coming Saturday when I'll finally have a 10 day break. (Vacation.)

I can get a post out now though.

No probs, glad to have you back. You and Malcom both :)

Thanks! I'm working all these hours so when I go to GENCON next week I can get all the LOOTS. Lol

Ah, going for lootboxes both in- and outside of the game, good luck :)

Why yes, yes I am. :)

In reply to Tsuki (msg # 327):

Yah LOOTS!

:)

Level three already? Yikes, haven't got used to this one yet.

In reply to Mo (msg # 331):

Easy leveling guide.

You get +1 to hit, to saves, to your ac and class DC, and to all your skills, trained or not.

You can increase one skill rank, from untrained to trained(Thus getting +3 to said skill), or from Trained to expert(getting +2 more ranks to that skill). Some feats require an expert rank.

You may also take a general feat, which I will list and recommend for each player. In game, that will be Guildmaster Trevik 'altering' for your form.

You will also get more HP, which depends on your class, and a new special ability.

Here is a list of general feats if you don't know what you want, but would like some options. If it is too many choices, I will make some recommendations for your character if you wish. You are limited to level feats 1-3, of course.

I can't edit my sheet. Sooo...

In reply to Malcom (msg # 334):

Fixed. Sorry about that.

Tsuki is updated.

And now she has a living rock as a familiar. :)

Tsuki: Oh cool you took star orb didn't you?! It has some nice expansions later on.

Everyone: So Connor is level 3 now.

I decided to take toughness for my general feat. Those 3 hp could save me down the road, especially as I gain more levels and gain more hp. It's like having another +1 con bonus for hp calculation and with my d6 hit die it's appreciated! However, if there's interest from the group I will take magical crafting later on closer to level 5 ish.

New People: So I post what I've memorized for the game-day, as well as the alchemical items I've prepared for the day from my Alchemist subclass, so people can see (I'll also note there when items have been used). I am going to see if I can buy a basic formula book if find one but for now he can make the alchemical items minor healing elixirs, alchemist fire flask, quicksilver elixir (which no one seemed interested in last level), and sun rods.

If people have certain alchemy requests they are welcome to post them. Like if someone thinks I should make a quicksilver elixir batch, or maybe more heal elixirs, or make a sun rod, etc. It's a flexible daily preparation ability I have so it's meant to be a toolkit for us.

Speaking of magical crafting will we have an opportunity to do any crafting before we get shoved out the Guildhall door?

In reply to Nathan (msg # 338):

Yes.

Am I right in thinking that I can make herbal healing potions?

In reply to Moya (msg # 340):

Yes, within limits. Mostly by materials available.

For those curious, it's from 3.0:
