Oh, well, no time like the present!
Is it still possible to voluntarily fail a save in PF?

Okay no problems, also do not forget your favored class bonuses. I've also noticed the character sheets don't note touch and flat-footed ACs. Could you guys please manually note those then, like under "Notes" or something?

If you want to stark knowing the other lightbringer PCs, it doesn't bother me. You can keep discussing this a bit here before you meet up somewhere.

I've had an idea to make combat flow faster. When attacking, roll your attack roll(s) and your damage as well for each attack. I'll then tell you if you hit or miss and then apply the already rolled damage in the case of a hit. This way you won't have to wait for a post from me telling you "Okay, you hit, you can roll damage now".
Same thing with spells. When casting your spells, roll your effects right away instead of waiting for me to roll my saves. I'll roll saves in my post and then apply full, half, or no effect as the case may be.

Since I don't really know Golarion, I went with "generic unnamed cities". Yes, there is a lightbringer temple closer to Barovia than the one you started out from (as you'll soon learn when you meet the others).

Can we say Barovia would be in the Ustalav Area? If so I could choose "Carrion Hill" and "Ardis"
http://pathfinder.wikia.com/wiki/Ustalav
http://pathfinder.wikia.com/wiki/Ustalav
May 6, 2016 3:36 pm
That looks like it could be a good location. Given how the valley of Barovia needs to be isolated, the most logical place would be the southern Hungry Mountains, south of Riwudo, near those woods that borders the Path River. I don't know what the scale on that map is though...

Printed the Pathfinder Corebook today at the place where I'm doing my social reinsertion. The owner was curious as to whether he could do a book that size in spiral binding. Turns out yes, with a 33mm spiral you can. But I think it's pretty much the maximum page count you can do in a spiral binding and still be able to turn the pages freely... I'll probably post pictures later.

Oh, FYI, I was curious and checked if trait bonus stacked while converting an NPC and found out that, as I suspected, trait bonuses do not stack just like most bonuses. So check your traits to see if you've picked some that you thought would stack, because they don't...

May 31, 2016 3:25 pm
I can do it manually. Given he originally put Kayleigh in front of the dotted line, I think he wanted to be up front, so I doubt he'll mind if I do the switch...

@ Jabes: Wwhen you ready an action, you only ready a standard action, so you will only have made one attack.

And I see now that the beasts have in fact come within point blank range so +1 to all my rolls please. :-)

I've edited this post to include more details, including a link to delayed and readied actions so you can check those out for future reference. Alright, I'll apply your flurry of blow at -4 penalty for close combat on the nearest creature (unless you want to shoot the other one) in that case. Then I'll apply irvanovich's action.
Edit: at -3 and +1 damage because of Point Blank Shot.

Spades question made me think about another question. Can you squeeze between combatants or does it have to be between solid obstacles like walls?

Acrobatics will let you move through spaces like that, I think. I've always played it that way, anyways

Yeah but I wonder, does Acrobatics still apply when you're trying to squeeze through while mounted? Wouldn't that be a Ride check then? I'm not really referring to Kayleigh's situation here...just wondering out loud theoretically.
Jun 5, 2016 6:46 pm
While mounted? Hmm, a Handle Animal check to push your mount to use its Acrobatics skill?
Jun 5, 2016 6:58 pm
A Ride check is required to really control your mount in combat...a DC 20 if I remember correctly, unless the mount is Combat Trained.
That said, I would think a DC 20 check would be enough to make your mount press through a tight spot.

Yes, but since you are mounted, you'll need to make your DC 5 Ride check (free action) to guide your mount with your knees since both of your hands are required to use your bow.
Edit: Also, is your mount combat trained? (Edit 2: Yep, okay, I checked your character sheet.)

I made a mistake back there and rolled a third d20 for crit confirmation. The second d20 from Perfect Strike should've served as the crit confirmation roll. Will try to remember net time. :-)
I actually considered an unarmed strike, but dismounting would've taken up my move action, had it not?

Checking character advancement stuff. It said in the opening that we are playing with fast character advancement. Level six is 15,000 xp, so i am assuming we start there. Gaining 900 puts us at 15,900 and the next level is at 23,000. Does that sound correct?

Jun 15, 2016 4:06 pm
That depends on what you do while mounted, and keep in mind that many of the Ride checks are performed as move actions.

So a natural 20 isn't auto-success in PF. This'll take some getting used to. :-D

It is in attack rolls and saving throws, but not for skill checks or ability checks, although, I do believe it is an existing optional rule...
Edit: Oh, I think I see where your confusion stem from. Yeah, had you been pushing the cart all by yourself, your check probably would have been high enough to push it aside enough to allow Roland's cart through, but the problem is you were performing an Aid Another action to help Kayleigh push since she initiated a group effort to push the cart aside. Or at least, this is what I was thinking you were doing, you could have always "lonewolfed" it and try to push it all by yourself, ignoring the others' efforts...

Jul 18, 2016 3:41 pm
Oh, I just realized, because of the wall of the building, Darren would have had to move through threatened squares to get to where he is right now. I edited my last post for attacks of opportunity (since I already rolled the zombie's turn, it's a bit late to see whether or not you really wanted to move there). The horse got hit for 6 points of damage.
Jul 18, 2016 3:42 pm
Ahh, I wasn't sure I could get there by doing a diagonal move, but I would have done it anyway. Just want to make sure you took the blindness/dazzle into account, since I cast the spell before moving.

I forgot to roll my Ride check, added it at the very end. That looks like a failed check so does that mean the horse would've been unable to advance? If that's the case then none of my shots would have been at point blank. If so, subtract 1 from all attack and damage rolls (except the flare damage, right?)

No, it means you need one hand to guide your horse, which means it is unavailable to use with your bow (no arrows this round for Ujjaya, I'm afraid). You can always try to perform some other action instead.
Jul 18, 2016 10:47 pm
So Ujjaya is able to ride the horse forward at the horse's speed but no archery. After riding forward can he still dismount and attack a target? Or can he ride forward and make an unarmed attack (a kick) from horseback?
Jul 18, 2016 11:23 pm
Dismounting and shooting a target? Only if you succeed at a fast dismount check.
Riding forward and kicking a target while riding? Well, yes and no... Given the current positions on the map, you'd need to overrun at least one opponent, and they'd get their attack of opportunity against you (for the unarmed attack) and your horse (for the overrun attempt), unless you do it on the undead who already took their attack of opportunity against Darren (the ones in f7 and g7).

Ujjaya has Improved Unarmed Strike (granted to all monks at 1st level) so his unarmed strikes do not provoke AoO's. But yeah let's ride up and kung-fu kick G7.
Edited my post and added the appropriate rolls.

Oh, I thought you had switches Improved Unarmed Strike for some archery feat or another, but now I remember you did not... Okay, well first you need to move your horse to a free space and the only one I can really see right now is between d7 end e8 and will require an overrun on the zombie in f7, but this would allow you to kick the zombie in g7...
Edit: the prone zombie in d6 would get an attack of opportunity (most likely on the horse because he's prone) because you'd be moving through his threatened area, but that should not be much of a problem since he would be at -4 on this attack because he is prone...

Alright, you can now make your horse's overrun attempt on the zombie in f7 in the game thread. Then if it succeeds, you can continue with your move and kick the zombie in g7...

Added the overrun attempt to my post. Based the CMB on this stat block.

Question, just because I'm not entirely sure myself.
If one has a magic item that lets them deliver a touch attack, and is holding a spell that is used as a touch attack, can the two stack?

Galvanic Gauntlets + Cure Moderate Wounds? Hmm, good question... I guess it would, as the galvanic gauntlet does not produce a spell, and this situation where you're stuck holding a charge of a touch spell you missed and you get the opportunity to use your item as well as the held charge probably won't happen often enough to make this call unbalanced...
Also, the galvanic gauntlets are scaling items? Hmm, I need to keep in mind to give you 15% less treasure since you have a scaling item now...

Dude, a flurry of blow is a full-attack action. You cannot perform a full-attack if you move more than 5 feet in a round. It's basically a full-round action, but for attacks.

Well, if its only for today, it's okay, we can wait. We might have to slow the game soon anyway as I'll probably need to make a post for a new player to replace Parmus Domus who's connection problem doesn't seem to have been rectified yet (he'll be more than welcome to come back once it is, of course). After this battle, it will be a good occasion to split him from the party...

Somebody please make a sacrifice to the RNG gods, and appease their anger.
OOC:
Since the description of the gauntlet does not specify if this is a swift or free action, I assume using the gauntlet is a standard action. I let you use it with a cure spell last time because you were holding a charge from a previous failed touch attack, but I'm not allowing it now because I consider you used two standard action to cast your spell and activate the gauntlet. So you either attack with your spell or with your gauntlets this round. for the zombie, this does not matter as I simply need to make a Hard to kill roll, but for you it will matter as to whether or not you spend a spell slot...Somebody please make a sacrifice to the RNG gods, and appease their anger.
Jul 27, 2016 5:46 pm
When I "Pathfinderized" this monster, I decided to slightly tweak the chance of success to the Hard to Kill since I noticed Pathfinder does seem to favour more robust monsters compared to 3.X... Funny thing is, the RGN has been so ruthless so far that my tweak hasn't changed a darn thing yet...

Blunt arrows have existed historically. Native Americans and used them, for example. They are simply arrows with a small weight, often a wooden ball or a rounded stone, instead of an arrowhead, at the end. Or course, such arrows tend to be less aerodynamic than normal arrows and do not fire as far.

I thought Aspect of the Falcon was always on, but now I've learned that IT'S NOT. :-( Honest mistake, I swear. My apologies. Edited my character sheet to note that it's a once-per-day feature.

Oh well, live and learn. That's a bit of a problem I had with D&D 3.5 and to some extent PF. At some point, your character has so many options available to him from race, class features, feats, and magic items, it's easy to forget a few...

Ouch... I'm seeing the bow slipping out of Ujayya's hand to smack him in the face...

If its anything like D&D 3.5, any arrows which missed has 50% chance of breaking. Arrows which hit automatically break.
Aug 22, 2016 11:43 am
I usually run it the way it works in 3.5. I'll roll a percentile for each arrow that was missed, then tell the archer how many he found.

Also, a question: Weiryn wears a Ring of Sustenance. With it, he only has to have two hours to get the benefits of eight hours of sleep. Has enough time passed that he has fully regained everything, between the two hours before his watch and now?

@ Naat: You can make them before initiative started..
@ irvanovich: No. While you only require 2 hours of sleep to be rested, you still need 8 hours of rest to regain your spells and abilities.

From the d20PFSRD and the Paizo PRD sites:
That's why I was asking, because the ring's description says I can do it with just 2. :)
Quote:
This ring continually provides its wearer with life-sustaining nourishment. The ring also refreshes the body and mind; its wearer needs only sleep 2 hours per day to gain the benefit of 8 hours of sleep. This allows a spellcaster that requires rest to prepare spells to do so after only 2 hours, but this does not allow a spellcaster to prepare spells more than once per day. The ring must be worn for a full week before it begins to work. If it is removed, the owner must wear it for another week to reattune it to himself.Sep 1, 2016 3:47 pm

Sep 6, 2016 2:15 pm
Gonna move this convo out of the main play section so i don't clutter it up. The reason i was asking about it is a firearm or ranged weapons in general really don't get any bonuses to their damage like melee weapons do. A hackbut does 2d12, or a revolver does 1d8 whereas melee weapons do 1d8+strength. It makes sense that if your sick you swing your sword less hard, but makes no sense that the bullet of the gun, or even an arrow from a bow is at all affected by how i feel as far as its damage capabilities.
Onto my true question about it i guess, if i don't add all of my bonuses with my hackbutt, its damage is a 2d12 flat roll. With the sickened thing does it become 2d12-2? or does it only effect thing that have a +x to the damage and reduce it?

Sep 6, 2016 3:23 pm
Oddly enough the condition does not seem to discriminate between melee or ranged weapon damage. I guess this could be explained in-game as shivering while shooting messe with your aim somewhat, turning a normal hit into a grazing hit...
Sep 6, 2016 3:26 pm
i read up on it and couldn't find anything that said it was different either. Maybe its a supernatural sickness that zaps the energy of the user so hard it reduces the energy of anything he touches as well. So it has a magical effect on the gunpowder, thus reducing the muzzle velocity of the bullet, and decreasing the damage. (Sorry, i am an engineer, i overthink everything. lol.)
Sep 6, 2016 4:21 pm
Theoretically, if being sickened makes you weaker, you won't be able to withstand the kick of the gun as much, and thus limit the amount of force that is transferred to the projectile. Would be like shooting backwards from a moving car. For all practical situations of course, the effect would be so negligible it's not even funny :p
But if you want a overthought explanation... ;)
But if you want a overthought explanation... ;)
Sep 6, 2016 6:45 pm
Yeah, I get sickened might be a bit more unfair for ranged attackers, but the rules are the rules and I'm weary of starting to houserule the game to hell (had this been originally me decision, I would have houseruled the skills which bothers me). So we'll keep with the rules as written for now, no matter how weird some situations might seem.
Sep 6, 2016 6:48 pm
Agreed, its a game. Its not real life obviously as people are throwing fireballs all willy nilly. I don't mind playing by the rules, just didn't know what the rule actually was per se. A -2 to damage isn't that big a deal, plus adversity is what makes the game fun.
Sep 6, 2016 7:12 pm
onto question number 2, sickened is just a condition, meaning there is some underlying cause for it correct? Like a curse, or an illness or something that is making him feel sick?
Sep 6, 2016 7:17 pm
Also...regarding the sickened condition...can Lesser Restoration take care of it? Or do I have to have "Remove Disease" to take care of it?

Sep 6, 2016 8:17 pm
That only suppresses it for the duration of the spell and makes it harder to get (Despite what the name says, which is pretty silly). I think we are supposed to make saves against it every so often to see if we can get rid of it, but thats based on internet hear say and nothing i can find in the RAW.
Sep 6, 2016 8:24 pm
Yeah, I've looked at that spell. It only suppresses it according to the rules text, and gives a bonus to the save DC against it. If it's an actual disease or curse that causes the sickness condition, you still have to use Remove Disease or Remove Curse to get rid of them (I think...don't think Lesser Restoration can get rid of it...)
That's dependent on whatever's causing the effect in question, really and truly...some diseases give you a check every day, some of them give you one every week, some of them get worse with every failed check. You also have to pass so many of them (some require 2, some 3, etc.) to "get better", unless you have a spell or something that can get rid of it. :)
Quote:
You quell feelings of illness and nausea in the target, giving it a +4 morale bonus on saving throws against disease, nausea, and sickened effects.

It's looking like i might just have to deal with it. Its a long term thing it seems. Somebody might ought to learn the remove sickness spell to start boosting everyone so you don't all end up this way, lol. But if we can ever get a nights sleep and some time i will attempt to figure this out in game, may not be that big a deal after all.
Sep 6, 2016 9:05 pm
Oh guys, actually, I just realized that you did examined the condition a bit closer already...
Sep 7, 2016 6:19 am
My mercy can subdue the sickened condition for a while (1 hour per lay on hands). Other than that, I can't help though. Remove Disease isn't a paladin spell (it's a lvl 3 cleric spell)

I am having a slow moment, what where we here to ask her about? I remember the sickness cure, but i know that was small potatoes compared to the real question. I just can't remember what it is.
Also, i deleted the post from the play forum. sorry for the clutter kalajel.

Ok, lets figure out this sickness riddle. We already have something that can cure this disease. A symbol of purity and an anomaly of death that we as a group already possess. I have been through my inventory and cannot find anything that would meet this criteria. Anybody else got anything that sounds right?
Oct 18, 2016 5:33 pm
I have my spellbooks, my holy symbol, a stake, a hammer, Potion of Protection from Evil, a Wand of CLW, a Wand of Prestidigitation, and a Wand of Message...in addition to a few oils and potions we've picked up (Guidance, Arcane Mark, and Light). Nothing that really fits that criteria.

Darren has a silver maple leaf hung on a thin silver chain. Perhaps we should investigate that further.

So do we want to camp with the gypsies tonight, or go back to town and start over again in the morning? And where do we start, the amulet or the sword?
Oct 18, 2016 7:15 pm
You're still early morning. It probably took you a bit over 30 minutes to walk to the camp.
Oct 18, 2016 7:15 pm
Either way, if I'm reading the divinations correctly, we have to take them to the Castle to get anything out of them.
Oct 18, 2016 7:20 pm
But we have to get them regardless, and the leveling will help with whatever the thing in the church is.
Oct 18, 2016 7:22 pm
I agree.
It's probably some RNG destroying hellbeast that will ensure we roll nothing above a five the entire time we encounter it...I'd better make sure I have plenty of spells prepped that don't require attack rolls...

Today might be a good day to go back to town, figure out how to cure this sickness, let everyone rest and prepare for the coming battles. Then we start out for the two artifacts. Just a thought.

Back to town will work for me as well. As long as wherever we go has a place for me to sit and use Roland as a guinea pig to try and cure his sickness, I'm happy.

I realized that Durgrim forgot to roll his 20% miss chance because of the lighting condition within the church, but you know, you went during the day (and I think the encounter is meant to be ran at night), and those big double door are wide open letting light in, so I'll say that as long as you're between the alcoves, there's enough light to attack normally. But anyone not between the alcoves should remember to roll that 20% miss chance...Azira says:

Sadly, darkvision is overwritten in an area as soon as there is any sort of lightning condition present. If there were some dark corridor past the dimply lit church, Durgrim would be able to see fine inside it, up to the limit of his darkvision.
Dec 11, 2016 9:08 pm
Is this a Ravenloft thing? The PRD states:
"Darkvision
Darkvision is the extraordinary ability to see with no light source at all, out to a range specified for the creature. Darkvision is black-and-white only (colors cannot be discerned). It does not allow characters to see anything that they could not see otherwise—invisible objects are still invisible, and illusions are still visible as what they seem to be. Likewise, darkvision subjects a creature to gaze attacks normally. The presence of light does not spoil darkvision."

:o Yeah.. There's a lot of things that I've misunderstood forever, since a lot of learning the game comes from what other players say about it. Myths can persist for a long time until someone actually goes and reads the rules :p
I feel having the online SRD/PRD handy has fixed some of that though, with ease of access. Leafing round the CRB in the middle of playing isn't really feasible..

Yeah, and sometimes you sort of forget rules until you "rediscover" them later. I don't know how many times I had to reintroduce my friends to the rule which specified that if you shoot part of a large creature which is 10 feet or more away from people engaged in melee with it, you don't need the feat Precise Shot...
Dec 13, 2016 4:55 pm
I remember playing AD&D 2e about 20 years ago, and the party was in a dungeon. Long corridor. The wizard type fireballed this enemy that was at the end of the hallway. I asked them to confirm, reminding them it was in a confined area. "Oh yeah, I totally do it." The other players nod in agreement.
I say, "All right, roll for damage," and pull out a calculator. 33000 cubic feet, divided by 10 feet wide x 10 feet high = 330 feet of corridor filled. I measured the space all around, figuring that it would expand equally in both directions, but then would back fill in the other direction if it filled the space one way. The players are baffled as I shuffle between the calculator and the GM map, counting squares.
I state: "Okay, the fireball explodes in bright fire, and the expanding flames blast toward you, covering you and the 130 feet of corridor behind you in the explosion. If you make your saving throws, its half damage."
The players are all indiginent, "What, the spell doesn't work that way!?" I pull out the PHB and read to them the spell description, emphasizing the important bits.
"The caster fires a streak from their finger out to the range they desire, and if the path is unobstructed, the spell creates an explosive burst of flame that detonates with a low roar at that point. If the streak strikes something before it reaches that range, it detonates early It deals 1d6 damage per caster level to creatures in the area (creatures affected can save for half damage). There is not much pressure with the explosion, and it will conform to the shape of the area it bursts in, covering an area equal to its normal spherical volume (roughly 33,000 cubic feet). The fireball ignites combustibles, and melts soft metals such as gold, silver, and copper. Items exposed to the fire must make saves to negate the effect."
Splutter, splutter. "Well, we never played that way."
I responded. "I'm not responsible for your house rules."

Good thing you reminded me that smite evil ignored DR, I would have forgotten about it. I wonder if your damage is not a bit too much though, the whole double damage bonus deal is only on the first strike...[ +- ] Pathfinder SRD
Smite Evil (Su): Once per day, a paladin can call out to the powers of good to aid her in her struggle against evil. As a swift action, the paladin chooses one target within sight to smite. If this target is evil, the paladin adds her Charisma bonus (if any) to her attack rolls and adds her paladin level to all damage rolls made against the target of her smite. If the target of smite evil is an outsider with the evil subtype, an evil-aligned dragon, or an undead creature, the bonus to damage on the first successful attack increases to 2 points of damage per level the paladin possesses. Regardless of the target, smite evil attacks automatically bypass any DR the creature might possess.
In addition, while smite evil is in effect, the paladin gains a deflection bonus equal to her Charisma modifier (if any) to her AC against attacks made by the target of the smite. If the paladin targets a creature that is not evil, the smite is wasted with no effect.
The smite evil effect remains until the target of the smite is dead or the next time the paladin rests and regains her uses of this ability. At 4th level, and at every three levels thereafter, the paladin may smite evil one additional time per day, as indicated on Table: Paladin, to a maximum of seven times per day at 19th level.

Yeah, I know, but he did espected to be free at some point in the weekend, which is only a day or two away, so I don't mind waiting. Maybe give the time to azira to see if he's okay with his current situation and wants to change his action...

In case you guys can't tell, i am trying out the new grit powers roland gained access to. Learning how to use them and what works best in the group. I probably could have killed the wolf but i want to see how this characters versatility will benefit the group. Just an FYI in case people were wondering why i was f***ing around and not just killing it.

It looks like it's going to use the same ruleset and be compatible with Pathfinder, from other stuff I've read. Also, it's set in the same universe, just in the future :)
The Starfinder line will include both a hardcover core rulebook and key hardcover rules supplements, as well as a Starfinder Adventure Path that provides you with epic campaigns, expanded rules elements, and new monsters to battle. Best of all, Starfinder is designed to integrate easily with the Pathfinder roleplaying game, meaning your power-armored marine can still go toe to toe with orcs and dragons. So what are you waiting for? The galaxy needs you!

Yeah, they keep stating it should be compatible, at least with the pathfinder monster manual. I'm guessing they will introduce some new bells and whistles though, makes sense to change the game a bit when pulse rifles are the norm, not greatswords.

Speaking of...Kalajel, how do you deal with touch attacks while being grappled?
Apr 22, 2017 12:52 am
If I remember the grapple rules correctly, I guess you'd be doing so with a -2 penalty.... on top of the one you already have for being sickened... I'll post the details about being grappled on my usual post to announce the start of next round.
Apr 24, 2017 5:33 pm
Good question... I think the real problem here is the size of the constituent creatures. At a certain size, only area-effects will affect a swarm. If your entanglement targets a single creature, it will fail.
Apr 24, 2017 5:49 pm
nope, its entangling shot from a blunderbuss. 15 foot cone auto hit. Deals half damage, but everything that fails a dc15 reflex save is entangled for 2d4 rounds.
side note: how do you half a d8 damage, roll a d8 and divide by two or roll a d4?
Also side note: does that mean every bug in the swarm takes damage, or the swarm as a whole?

In that case, I feel like the flying swarm would be affected as a regular flying creature would. It would cease flying, fall to the ground, and take falling damage as appropriate (which in this case would be none since the swarm is already at ground-level).
To halve a d8, you roll damage and halve it, rounded up. Say you rolled a 5, you inflict 3 damage. The swarm would take damage as a whole.

Apr 26, 2017 4:05 pm
That was a really good move Kaos. That swarm only had a flight speed. This means the swarm is immobilized now. Normally, because of the size of the constituent creatures, swinging in the could of insects with a weapon would prove fruitless. But now, if the players bash a pile of insects on the ground that cannot move out of the way, I guess I could exceptionally allow for half weapon damage; you'll still kill some bugs, but the cushioning effect of all those thousand of minuscule bugs stacked on top of one another will ensure that some will survive an attack. I guess now you can concentrate on that plant creature to get Weiryn the fuck out of there...

I hoped it would work. And you are correct. Everything in the cone needs the reflex save.

Hello Everyone,
I am very excited to be invited to this game. All my pen and paper rpg experience has been in DnD 3.5, but everyone has assured me this should be a pretty easy transition.
A little about me in real life. I am a PhD student in Biology, I study at Memorial University of Newfoundland, (Canada) so I am also in a weird time zone, a half hour ahead of Atlantic time. I am busy but at the same time I have a lot of free time as I create my own schedule. I am currently writing my dissertation so I spent a lot of time on the computer, and not much time in the lab.
I hear you need a cleric, I took a quick look at the players guide and thought the Healing and Fire domains looked interesting (I haven't had time to read everything so I am not set on that, and suggestions are welcome). This will be my first cleric, the only other spell caster I have played is a druid, so any hints or advice are welcome. It is late here now, but I have set aside time tomorrow for character creation, I may pester you with some questions.
I guess that is kind of all for introduction stuff. I look forward to playing with you, I read through a bit of the last story and I think you guys will be great fun to adventure with.
Shanata

Jul 10, 2017 11:14 am
Oh feel free to make Newfie jokes! I am original from a small farm in Saskatchewan (In Eastend it's near the American border and the Cypress Hills), I just moved out here to do my PhD.
Jul 10, 2017 5:05 pm
Not really a joke, but more of an anecdote I've heard from the people of Fermont which is a small town near the border to Labrador. Apparently, when they have hockey matches with Newfies, the Newfies are pretty easy to spot on the ice as they're the ones who wear mismatched leggings... XD
Jul 10, 2017 6:25 pm
I haven't made it over to Labrador but I hear it's pretty bleak. It wouldn't surprise me if those leggings had been handed down for generations, but they only got one from each side of the family lol.
On another note I have a question about the cleric domain spells. I get one domain spell of each level per day (according to the table) but I have 2 domains, and therefore 2 possible spells for each level. Do they work like normal spells where I can change them each day while I meditate, or am I locked into the spell once I choose it?

Jul 10, 2017 6:51 pm
Every day, when you pray, you choose your spells. You have a number of regular spells for each level plus one bonus domain spell. You get to choose which domain spell for each level you'll learn this day from between the choices given to you by your two domains.
Let's say that for level 1, one domain granted you burning hands and another granted you cure light wounds, then every day you prayed for your spells, you'd get to choose between burning hands and cure light wounds as your 1st level domain spell for that particular day.

The map for Barovia? There is none. Well, there is one, but they haven't purchased/found/stolen a map of the valley yet... Probably something Ireena could give them if asked...

Maybe I have misunderstood. You asked for my picture so you could make a button? I assumed that was to put me on some sort of map.
Jul 11, 2017 8:09 pm
Oh, when there are battles, I link to a battle map. Outside of battles, I don,t really use maps. Well, maybe I'll have to map once you guys explore Castle Ravenloft proper, but for now there are no need of maps outside of battles.

Jul 19, 2017 2:48 am
So one thing I am a bit confused about. Can I refresh my spells more than once a day? The book just says I need an hour to pray, I didn't see any specifics of how many times a day I can pray.
Jul 19, 2017 3:16 am
You pray for your spells only once a day. The time of day you can pray for your spells depends on the deity. Some must pray at dawn (typically the good deities), some pray at dusk (typically the evils ones), and I do believe a few pray at noon. You are not obligated to take all of your spell slots when praying, and can take a 10 or 15 minutes ( I forgot which one exactly) to pray for your remaining spell slots.
Edit: Never mind, seems this was D&D. In PF, you pick a time of day to pray and this time of day cannot be changed later. I'm still looking for the exact rule which stipulate that you are not obligated to prepare all your spell slots and can leave some unprepared to prepare later...

Jul 19, 2017 3:45 am
It's in the core rulebook under magic. Go to the section on clerics and
Spell Selection and Preparation: A divine spellcaster selects and prepares spells ahead of time through prayer and meditation at a particular time of day. The time required to prepare spells is the same as it is for a wizard (1 hour), as is the requirement for a relatively peaceful environment. When preparing spells for the day, a cleric can leave some of her spell slots open. Later during that day, she can repeat the preparation process as often as she likes. During these extra sessions of preparation, she can fill these unused spell slots. She cannot, however, abandon a previously prepared spell to replace it with another one or fill a slot that is empty because she has cast a spell in the meantime. Like the first session of the day, this preparation takes at least 15 minutes, and it takes longer if she prepares more than one-quarter of his spells.

Jul 19, 2017 3:56 am
Ok, thanks guys. I guess I didn't read enough.
I think noon makes sense for someone praying to the sun god, but would that be annoying in the campaign? I am happy to say first thing in the morning as well.

Jul 19, 2017 4:02 am
Noon or dawn makes sense. Noon can be a bit annoying if you're inside a dungeon at the time and fail to notice it's noon and forget to prepare your spells. But this mini-campaign isn't exactly dungeon-crawl intensive. The biggest dungeon is Castle Ravenloft itself, and there are plenty of places where you can see outside, so the chances of missing noon should be slim in my opinion.
Jul 19, 2017 4:04 am
Ok. I will say my character prays around noon then. I think it makes the most sense lore wise.
And I mean if I am inside a dungeon I won't know when dawn is either.

Jul 19, 2017 3:45 pm
So basically, this means that now, the party is at the church, waiting for noon so that Heather can pray for her spell for today (the spells you have right now being yesterday's spells when you prayed at noon).
Jul 19, 2017 3:52 pm
I think thats a fair assessment. I don't know whats next, but roland is still hurting after that fight. a few hours to heal wouldn't hurt.

Hey Kalajel is it alright for me to use that last level 2 spell for a Lesser Restoration for Durgrim. Had I known he was hurt too I would have prepared it with the others.

So I have a question that is totally unrelated to this game for the group. I am DMing a game in real life and I am creating a recurring NPC who is pretending to be level 6 but is actually level 20. I would like a character sheet for him to keep him consistent. Should I create a level 6 sheet, a level 20 sheet, or a sheet that mixes the stats for things he can hide/not hide (eg, he can pull his punches but he can't change his HP).
Any advice on what would be the most useful as a DM is appreciated.

Thanks for the advice, you guys have already found big holes in my sheet. He is an ex-wizard who has become a monk (14 levels n wizard, 6 in monk) so it should be easy to hide his wizard abilities if he just never uses them and all his items and monk skills are at the appropriate level.
It makes total sense but I hadn't figured in a high bluff. I will definitely max it out and look into the skill focus feat. One last question, would you guys give them a perception check to notice he isn't what he seems or only have the players roll if they get suspicious?

lol, we once had a player playing a multiclassed wizard/monk in the Darksun setting (where magic is really frowned upon), basically hiding his somatic components in sentai-like poses before punching (or pretending to punch) the bad guys and unleashing his spell at point-blank range while screaming "DRAGON PUNCH!"

That is amazing! If things get out of hand and the monk has to save the party I am definitely stealing this idea.

Hey, now that we got a lot of game threads, is there any way you can create an "archive" subforum to move all of the inactive threads to? It isn't a huge deal, but it does take me a second when I hop in here to find the right game thread.

Man, I can't wait for Strahd to finally show up. MUAHAHAHAHAHA... **cough, cough**... haha... **cough**.

It is not entirely impossible that fleeing might be the better part of valor in some parts in this adventure...
Nov 27, 2017 4:27 pm
If only we knew his weaknesses as well as he did. But maybe we can throw him a few surprises even if (When) we don't win.

The one with the axe was near the top of the map and recently got defeated by Darren. The two werewolves near the bottom of the map (the ones who raged) were wielding a bastard sword one-handed and were wielding a shield. The shield seems to be the only visible armor those particular werewolves have... Hmm, yeah, I should probably be more detailed with my descriptions of the enemies next time...

I've noticed a slow down lately. To be fair, it's not just this game, but every other game I GM or participate in. Is there some sort of game fatigue happening here? Just saying, if you guys need some sort of a break for a fresh come back later, I won't mind.
Mar 11, 2018 5:30 pm
I'm also seeing it across all the games I participate in. I'm still good to go here. If I'm ever delayed posting here it's usually because of work.

It's my fault. I got busy af that s week and just missed it was my turn. I'll have a post up asap.
Mar 11, 2018 5:55 pm
Some of my games have slowed, but not all. I think in those cases it's only about certain people becoming busy when sometimes their input is needed.
Mar 12, 2018 1:32 am
I've also noticed it and it's definitely a bit my fault. With my limited game time, it's become hard to keep up with everything. I have shut down four of my games temporarily, so hopefully I can speed my posting up a bit :)
Mar 12, 2018 1:41 am
Okay. I don't really mind the slow pace, I was just making sure. We can keep at that pace for a while if you like it, until life is a bit less hectic for you.

No clue. My first instinct was that I screwed up writing the dice codes, but nope, I did typed "1d20" right... I guess it's one of those "once in a lifetime" type thing... I doubt anyone in this campaign will ever get 2 20s in a row like that...
Apr 9, 2018 7:07 pm
Hi everyone! First of all I'd like to apologize for my two-week absence. I'm back with some sad news (sad for me anyhow).
The day I was hoping would never come has arrived: Due to recent changes in my life (some good, others not so much) I am going to be forced to drastically cut back on my game involvement, and that includes withdrawing from this game.
Thank you for the opportunity to play in your game, @kalajel. I wish I could continue but I can't, though I think I owe it to everybody as well as to myself for Ujjaya to die or depart in a way that makes sense to the story rather than just drop out. I'm willing to work with you on exactly how.

Apr 9, 2018 10:40 pm
I'll work something out. Given the nature of the campaign, the best thing to do would probably enter a new player so that Ujjaya can remain in Barovia and protect the people there, like I've done for every players who dropped out so far.
Still, sucks to see you go man, you're a good player.
Edit: As much of a horror campaign this game is supposed to be, so far real life has killed more players than the game itself... Real life... now that's horror right there! :P

Checking the numbers against the others. I have us at 26154 exp. And we are on the fast track so we advance to 8th level at 34000 exp. I have I got that right?
Apr 11, 2018 1:36 pm
I've got XP: 23 025, which gives me lvl 7 on the fast track. I wasn't in from the beginning though.
Apr 11, 2018 2:07 pm
Since we're checking our XP... Anyone who's been in the whole time, I have 29,028 XP. Does that match up with what you have?
Apr 11, 2018 2:30 pm
I have been here the whole time, but my book keeping abilities are horrible. Thats why I was confirming. I'm off of you by about 3000. So most likely I am just wrong.

Alright, I'll start an XP tracking thread. this should help clear any problems.
Apr 11, 2018 4:29 pm
Thanks Kalajel, that will help immensely. I apologize for my lack of book keeping skills. I thought I had it correct, but most likely I am FUBAR.
Apr 12, 2018 2:10 am
My XPs are a mess haha. Everybody leveled on February 9, 2017 right after that 1,650 award. It could be that I leveled early, mistakenly thinking we had all leveled at that time. Veroth is definitely into level 7 now, but not so far behind the original players that anyone would have hit a level here though?
Apr 17, 2018 3:29 pm
Going on vacation from April 18th to April 26th. Prep will be going on beforehand, and then rest and unpacking when I get back, so I probably won't be consistent from now until the 30th or so!

Roger that, Kal. Be safe. Sorry for my own silence, I had an interview come up for a position at work and had to do a lot of prep work for it.

Another one bites the dust.
I'm sorry, but, well...
I'm switching jobs next month. I expect to become somewhat busy, and a bit less active on the forums for a while.
After this fight we're in now, I'll probably have Durgrim go check up on his cousin. Been a fun game, kudos to Kajael for keeping it going all this while.

Ok, I'll be traveling the next week, and won't be able to check in before October comes around. So, I guess this is it. Let Durgrim go and check on his cousin, or use him as a NPC if you want.
Good luck, and give Strahd a bloody nose from me ;)
Been fun, see you around.

Alright, update time. Not in danger, and outside of the evac zones. Looks like the containment is making progress.

I looked throughout the forums but I couldn't find one on chargen. What method are we using? And if a character is being brought in at level 6 what starting gold/equipment should they use?
Jun 14, 2019 3:06 pm
Oh yeah, sorry. I tend to forget that I called that particular thread the Character Roster thread instead. I've linked to the particular post which discusses character creation. A bit later, a player asks me about Traits and I allow for 2 Traits.

Still working on recuperating my data, and since that could take some time, I thought of starting an "apology game" while we wait in the meantime...
Aug 6, 2019 4:01 pm
Sorry guys, still looking to retrieve my data. The program I'm using is currently at 30% scan. Hopefully, with the thunderstorms we'll be having in the next few days, I won't loose power because I'll have to restart from scratch...

Some news concerning my data recovery. The guy I gave my external HD to has already started recovering files. He thinks it should be done during the weekend, which means I'll be getting back my HD next monday. Now, the files will not be sorted or have their original names, so I'll have a lot of work going through them and sorting them out in the next couple of weeks. But hopefully, in about 2 or 3 weeks, I should get ready to resume this game.
And once this is done, I'm backing my shit up on google docs. XD

A bit of bad news. While the whole recuperating my old deleted files is going well, what me and my guy forgot is storage... I have over 1 tb of files, so I'll need to come up with some solution soon... This might add a few weeks to my previously mentioned plans.
Aug 26, 2019 10:28 pm
Some worst news. The external HD I was thinking of using to hold the data while the recovering was going on is pretty much dead, so I need to buy a new one. I can put it on my credit card to give me a chance to pay for it, but it's going to push back my data recovery by still a few more weeks...
Sorry, but seems like everything that could go wrong is actually going wrong here...

Hey, man. Take your time. I get it, I've had that happen to me. I mean, for me it was 800 pages of paper notes and character sheets and a fire but basically the same!
Sep 26, 2019 2:10 pm
Sadly, it might take more time than originally expected.
Right now, I have like 3616 folders filled with .txt files full of numbers and line of codes, each one weighting less than a single megabyte. I also found a bunch of .jpgs which seem to be part of a larger pictures, and some audio files with no sound in them... The only thing I've found so far which seems to indicate those are indeed my files is a single .jpg of what looks to be a page of a 3rd party D&D 3.x book which more than likely used to be a pdf. All strange...
I'm very disappointed at this data recovery. I have another friend who's willing to take a look at that, but this will have to wait until he gets back from his vacation in Cuba next month.

Nov 6, 2019 5:43 pm
Finally some good news.
the other guy who'm I've asked to retrieve my data from my external HD has managed to successfully retrieve it. The data is being transferred to my new HD as we speak and should end at some point tomorrow. Then it will only be a matter to get my HDs back from him and start the long process of reorganizing my shit. It might take some more time, but at least I'm seeing progress after nearly 5 months...

Wow, that's impressive. Wouldn't have thought it would work so well after the first failures.
Nov 12, 2019 1:00 am
Got another word of the guy working to retrieve my data. He decided to be a perfectionist and have another go at my HD just to make sure he retrieve everything and no data got corrupted. If everything goes well, I should get my HD back later this week.
Nov 28, 2019 2:21 pm
I'm afraid I have some bad news. As I was transferring my data yesterday, I had a look at it, and it seems I have no .odt or .txt files. I talked to my friend and the only files format he failed to recuperate were those two. My campaign notes were using those formats. So I'm afraid this game is gone.
I'm sorry for everyone who played this game. But it looks like that's it.

Thanks, Kalajel, it was an excellent game. I've long wanted to play a proper Ravenloft game and feel that I've now done so.
Nov 29, 2019 4:40 am
I definitely plan on revisiting a PF Ravenloft game one of these days. I've had a lof of fun running this game. I might try to remake my campaign notes on my free time and retry my hand at running this game again. Who knows, perhaps I could follow it up by running Ravenloft II: House on Gryphon Hill as well...
