OOC

English is not even my second language. Though I'm pretty sure I'm more fluent than most Americans sometimes I still have trouble with typos. Makes my brain seize.

A little retcon on my part. Achilles is dead already. My bad. I got the timeline messed up. Which means, if anyone is keeping score, Ajax the Greater is dead, but Ajax the lesser is alive.

All good! You're doing a great job so far, I would never be able to keep all that straight myself :)

Thanks :) My husband is a history major, so I just have to remember to springboard ideas past him hahaha

Yeah that was a typo. I write quite often on phone on bus/early morning. Don't think there was a chance that name ever going to be correct.

On that not though it Iantha with a capital I, not Lantha :p

I'll let Khulod post and then move us along.

Hey guys, sorry for holding the game up. Truth is I'm not quite feeling the enthusiasm for this game any more as when we started. So since we're still very early in the game, please feel free to replace me. I'm respectfully bowing out. Sorry for the inconvenience.

It happens. Thanks for the heads up!

Have those hearing voices/drawn to jump out snapped out of it?

You are snapped out of it, sorry for not clarifying. The failed stealth rolls are why Helen decided to just knock on the horse.

So, remember that we roll to confirm both critical successes and failures - and C1NDER, since these men are caught off guard, it was easy to confirm that crit.

So the gods get involved! The situation may not be good, but Nikias now has important information that otherwise would not have been available, so for him in particular it's a boon.

Question:

Polites has advantage on an attack? HERO points?

He is an ancient hero, so it's a unique boon. Worth noting he only gets the advantage on his first attack with a normal attack.

He's a 6th level npc class to get him to an appropriate CR, since NPC classes are weaker generally, which is how he gets 2 standard attacks.

As far as resisting the crit. There's a feat that allows the sacrifice of armor in exchange for regular damage, hence the destroyed shield. So he can manage, but at a permanent reduction of AC. Or at least, I assume permanent for him considering the average damage of Earthbreaker haha

This is the feat, if anyone's curious. It's dangerous, but there really aren't major prerequisites.

As a heads up reading the feat it just allows fa Crit threat so you would still need to confirm.

Ngl seems a little to good to be true still but there it is.

Can I query the size increase. Mostly as would like to know how to get on my own non abyssal blood ragers?

I am likewise curious.

Regarding the jump situation, I will chat with a couple other folks who know how to make broken but legal strong PF fighters and check interpretation. I imagine it's a bit messy due to my crit rules, which is why it hits so hard for now, but also doesn't attract the gods.

I think it's coming as the book is not strictly pathfinder and more 3.5. And I'm guessing meant to offset lack of magic where here the size increase and the x3 earthbreaker is increasing it, (I will say Earthbreaker is not in the listed weapons in the book? But spear which is x3 so they had to realise it could happen.)

Oh the size increase isn't from a feat. Just good old fashioned bloodrager spells of which enlarge person is on the spell list.

Flavored as flexing of course.

Being able to pick up 765lbs or drag over a ton myself I know a thing or three about how much larger a person gets when exerting themselves to the fullest.

Ah fair I missed that as lost track of rounds. Do be aware that takes a full round to do so as that's a common missed thing :p

Yes I think as a retcon it should be noted that he enraged and Enlarged as he exited the horse due entirely to my transposition error.
