Rise of the Runelords OOC

[Spore]

What was protocol the last time? We get everything but the spell slots, right? Then again we were safer last time. If we get everything sans spell slots, what about feats?

[u-b]

You get everything, including skills, feats, spells known and empty spell slots.

Excellent, Exciting times indeed!

[Spore]

Great. So a rundown for my new abilities.

I can inspire competence so with a 2 round expense of performance and successful aid another I can give you +7 on some skill checks. Adalbert finished dipping into any knowledge skill (including Planes) so he maybe remembers more about demons now. He also suddenly realizes the Thassilonian and Abyssal scriptures (I assume they're similar anyhow?). I got Unwitting Ally so we can maybe peruse terribly positioned goblins to flank any big demon dogs or fierce cats we encounter.

I am currently noted as having Charm Person but I am unsure of that selection yet. Some other candidates are Saving Finale (end performance to reroll save), Vanish (because short invisibility is very useful to unpickle Adalbert's poor positioning) Unbreakable Heart (it IS a situational spell but we are dealing with Runelords, aka the Lords of unfocussed emotional outlashes, so I expect quite a few emotion descriptor spells) or Recharge Innate Magic (basically linking my Fey Magic to my spell pool, which means Longstrider and a few cantrips though that is limited to underground) and Liberating Command.

[DrK]

As above a run down of Justin's new combat options....
1/ He can share a teamwork feat with the team - he's chosen Deadly precision to give us all 1d6 sneak when activated (as quite a few of use are melee)
2/ He got Cha to Will saves
3/ He got a level 2 maneuver - bloody riposte - allows him to counter attack when hit with some bonus damage. Also took Discipline focus to give small passive damage boost (I'd hadn't seen the style feats so didn't take the right options at Level 1 so this was a placeholder).

[CasualViking]

Tough choices all around. But here's what Lizuga got:
1) Pikeman's Training feat - she can go polearm-and-shield without needing to be in a specific stance.
2) Cura Te Ipsum - fiddly save bonus ability from my class.
3) Curate's Strike - heals damage to party on a hit, or can allow an ally a new save.

[Spore]

Hey, deadly precision could make it worthwhile for Adalbert to get into melee, at least with mooks. I may take this opportunity and shank a few goblins :)

[Erloas]

I actually really don't have any idea what I want to do.

Pool Strike would be good for elemental damage, but I think I can do similar at level 5 as part of the base enhancement. Wand Wielder would let me do spell combat with wands, which would be good, and we've got that shocking grasp wand. Not directly as powerful but a lot of potential utility I could also get a familiar.
Not sure on the feats either. Although I could take two arcana with a feat too

I feel we need a bit of defense and/or utility. A familiar is always nice, Flamboyant Arcana (mainly for Parry and Riposte since you can parry potentially deadly attacks, saved a swashbuckling paladin I knew 3 times) is a good defensive option.

Pool Strike is impressive nova damage but it is incredibly wasteful considering the size of your arcana pool currently.

[Ghostfoot]

Archery progression for me:

1. Rapid Shot (extra attack)
2. Friendly Fire Maneuvers (Teamwork Feat - ignore allies as soft cover)

I can swap the TW Feat as needed as a standard action.

I also received an extra spell known - considered Lend Judgment but figured at only 3 round duration might wait and pick that up next time. I grabbed Lucky Number as a bit of a wild card + thematically appropriate.

Utility spells we can wand as/ when we have the opportunity.

[Erloas]

Still not entirely sure on which feat to take, but otherwise my character is updated. Didn't really plan out a build, probably need to pick up some prerequisite feats for later just don't know what that would be yet.

[Ghostfoot]

Iris is good to go. Happy to wait a bit if we need to though, either to recuperate or to wait out the entangle. If we wait we need a guard vs the fire-wielding goblin.

Can we take out the fire-wielder & the firepelt, and then recuperate before we head over the bridge?

I'm away on holiday the next few days. Posting should be fine, but you never know.

[u-b]

Unless you go into entangled area, like, right now (or something), I will advance the time two minutes or so no later than tomorrow. This will count as short break.

In other news, I have a fresh new human being in the family, which might or might not affect my posting rate, we'll see.

Congratulations! When my tiny humans were small I ended posting lots at random times in the early hours of the morning when I was trying to persuade them what sleep was. Enjoy

Congratulations! That's fantastic.

Erratic posting is fine, play-by-post is perfect for new parents. Being up at weird times with a newborn is what got me here originally.

[CasualViking]

If two minutes counts as 10 minutes, that makes Lizuga entirely good to go right away.

Grats on the new human. I hatched a lot of eggs in Pokemon Go trying to get mine to sleep back in 15-16.

[Spore]

Bold plan on my part, but if Gogurt (sorry I had to) fails his will save (DC 14) AND has a charisma of below 12, I can advance his friendliness to helpful.

Hoping there is no spellcaster nearby that can identify my spell, hoping the archers just dont shoot me.

Here lies Schrödinger's halfling, he died of various circumstances.

[Erloas]

I saw Sporegg's post and wanted to try selling it by casting something at him... like dancing lights, but I guess I missed my chance.

I'm going to be on vacation starting Sunday until the 24th. I'll still have access to the forums but on my phone so with those limitations (rolls are a PITA on the mobile version of the site).

[DrK]

Oh! Our halfling has


On my initative I'll have to give chase I guess! (shame I'm last!)

[Ghostfoot]

I do find it entertaining that the halflings low wisdom keeps manifesting as ‘suicidal actor’

Did you just compare Adalbert to Belkar? I am unsure if I should feel honored or be angry.

[Erloas]

(1d7)[4] So with the level came a new spell and rather than picking just the right spell for right this very moment I'm instead going to roll for the 7 1st level spells I don't have memorized and take that one. In the order of which they are saved on my sheet.
Shocking Grasp added to spells memorized for today. Being a bit far away I'm not going guess my next move, but will be driving for about 15 hours tomorrow so probably won't get to post right away.

[Spore]

Save vs. rash. (1d20+3)[9]

Adalbert AC of 19 (-2 dex), 21 vs. goblin dogs. Touch AC of 14 now.

[u-b]

Save vs. rash. (1d20+3)[9]

Nope. Rolled for you.

Adalbert fort: (1d20+3)[14]

(that's a success)

[Spore]

Nice, thanks.

[u-b]

...if you agree that it's a straight enough line for a Run...

Straight enough. For Lebwen too, if he would like to run.

[Spore]

Okay, NOW I'm in trouble.

Full: charge to Z9 drawing weapons
-- attack the druid (1d20+12)[19] dam (2d6+6)[11][/SPOILER]

If you move a distance equal to your speed or less, you can also draw a weapon during a charge attack if your base attack bonus is at least +1.

This time, we can handwaive this as Justin had enough time to draw the weapons previous round. Also, can you provide a breakdown of those +12 and +6?

The drawing was intentional (or at least until I realised the mistake I made below)

To hit is +3 Bab, +4 dex, +1 MW, +2 charge ( and I thought +2 for drawing in the mithral current stance, but that's an effect on my tidal blade manuevre (level 1 strike) and I was getting confused) so should be +10 to hit

The +6 damage is +4 dex, +2 from using a thrashing dragon weapon from discipline focus (thrashing dragon) feat.
