(invites only!!) Camp of the main army aka Bout camp for the smallfolk team

[Duskranger]

You are currently in the camp of the main, planning your strategy, picking troops, etc. I am sure they have some gnome wizard that could do the trick for you.

I have with a little luck precisely the creature I need. a force golem. CR 4 must see what's he worth, but that will be this evening. Wil write down the skills and specifics as soon as I know them.

Question: What does SLA stand for and what does it mean. I have come across the term many times and never understood it. English is not my first language.

Spell like ability. Creatures have spell like abilities that imitate spells, without the individual actually being a spell caster.

[Duskranger]

In short terms they can do things a normal creature can't. Badboom badabing. You die no save

[Light-Hero]

I get it, how obvious.

[Duskranger]

About Monster Manual 5, it takes a little bit longer does anybody has the book.

Nope, sorry. All my books literally died in a fire.

I have 1-4 too, but take it easy, it's more because I read something about force golems. CR4 golems. So that's why I want it

[Deathslayer7]

ill try to remember and check if i have it when i get home.

[Duskranger]

Hartelijk bedankt. Or like the English say Thank you very much.

Edit1: not necessary anymore just got it in. A force golem, will put the stats here in the next post (for allies and DM)

[Duskranger]

FORCE GOLEM Humanoid in shape but covered in reflective blue-green metal
plates, this creature looks as though it has been mangled or rent by
powerful hands. Its body sags as though its armor has melted, or
perhaps was reshaped by great force.

Force Golem CR 4

Skills Balance +8, Jump +11, Listen +2, Spot +3, Tumble +9
Advancement 5–10 HD (Large); 11–15 HD (Huge)
Immunity to Magic (Ex) A force golem is immune to spells
and spell-like abilities that allow spell resistance. This
immunity does not extend to force effects.
Force Vulnerability (Ex) Force effects deal half again as much
(+50%) damage to a force golem.
Force Burst (Su) Once every 3 rounds, a force golem can
create a 30-foot-radius burst of force centered on itself.
Creatures in the area take 2d6 points of damage and
are knocked prone. Those who succeed on a DC 14
Reflex save take half damage and remain standing.
Force golems are immune to this ability. The save DC is
Charisma-based.
Force Reactive (Su) Whenever an opponent attacks and
misses a force golem with a melee attack, the force golem
can turn the kinetic energy of the attack back on the
attacker as an immediate action. The attacker is pushed
5 feet into an empty square of the force golem’s choice.
This movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity.
Pulse (Sp) A force golem can target any corporeal opponent
within 60 feet with a ranged touch attack. If the force
golem hits, it and its target make opposed Strength
checks. If the force golem wins the opposed check, the
opponent is pushed 10 feet in a direction of the golem’s
choice and falls prone in the square it ends up in. This
movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity.

I want 20 CR of these to put on the walls. As a defense, someone disagreeing with me about that?

[Deathslayer7]

hate to put this out there but do force golems really fit with the theme of small defenders?

[Duskranger]

Actually, how strange it sounds yes. It speaks Terran for one, the language of the earth. Besides that it looks like it's clothed in armor. And they are the best golems we can hire

[Yukitsu]

Behind near breach is better. Want range at the walls.

[Duskranger]

This are our shocktroops so to speak . They need some range though. 30 ft around them there may be none of our troops (because of the 2d6 force effect every 3 rounds (every creature knocked prone is attackable

[Deathslayer7]

well we are only allowed 300 CR worth of creatures. As such that's 50 CR per player. I will only use 20 for rogues and whatnot so anyone else can use the other 30CR of mine.

As to the slings and magic stone, while a good idea, I like the idea of long range better along with arrows that can catch unattended food supplies/tents/war machines on fire.

In that case I want 20/32 CR of golems behind me, the rest will be given to (complete with funds) to the recruitment officer aka Yukitsu.) So I need CR32 * 2 sp = 64 sp*14=896 sp = 89,6 gp that means I have left for the recruitment of other defense: 998-89.6=908.4 gp

I wil buy 5 Force Golems and 3 surprises I will post tomorrow (Magnacore Golems also CR4, creatures of Earth and Fire)

[Vulaas]

In that case, if they burrow, these Magnacore golems might make for a great sapper squad for following me. I need to get my hands in MMV to check.

They do not burrow, they do melt ground though

[dresdor]

I have a grand total of 6gp left atm, so I won't be using any troops. I work alone :-p

[Wizibirb]

Ok here is a thought from me,

we allow deathslayer7 to get his rouges at whatever his CR # of people was, because dragonsbreath arrows are nasty against everything from siege weapons, food supplie, tents, even any gun powder they may have. I can spend the remaining of my gold on poison destribute it among his rouges then whatever food they don't burn they can posion.

Just a thought and that 300 CR level cap kinda hurts. but I think if you allow us to do this then we can do some serrious damage. As for the assassination attempts Deathslayer7 and myself can attempt to handle those. We would just need descriptions of targets and where they might be in the camp.

edit - this also means that I relinquish my 50 CR worth of people.

[Yukitsu]

I am trying to think of a non-psionic way to get minor creation at low levels. Anyone know of any method to do so? It makes black lotus poison free.

Edit: Urgh, small scale is hard for me sometimes. Last IRL campaign involved 834K soldiers and a support staff of 150K on field guarding a 3126 square kilometer region.

[Deathslayer7]

ok i suggest I go with my rogues on the premission for recon.

If this okay, let me know.

What I can do.

To get in I have shape change and as i enter i'll drink a potion of invis to hide from sentries. From there its my +18 disguise check to keep in disguise and if someone spots through it then a immediate bluff check to reestablish the blown disguise at a +7 modifier.

The first is against a spot, the second is against a sense motive. Once in it should be relatively easy to get the info i need. I could try to poison their food supplies as well as try to burn down one of their siege weapons (on the way out).

Rogues if need be, can provide a one second distraction if i need to get into a certain tent or need a quick escape route.

edit:
stats for level 1 rogues (race to be determined) with padded armor, shortbow 20 arrows and 2 dragons breath arrows. Two daggers and padded armor.

Leader level 3 rogue (race to be determined) with studded leather, shortbow 2 daggers, light mace along with 20 arrows and 2 dragons breath arrows.

what would their stats be.

I think the rogues use your stats. One thing on the recon mission, let one small group of rogues cause mayhem on the opponnents side of the camp.Than it's easier to sneak in at your site.

[Light-Hero]

I am a little busy at the moment I will be posting stats and answering questions tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Can someone direct me towards a place to buy good poison? Or good poisons to buy and price

Nope sorry, no information here.

Dungeonscape, Complete Scoundrel, and DMG. Waterdeep, City of Splendor has the very best inhaled one for low level. Drow of the Underdark has some good stuff too.
