My group has gone 3 years in a row. We play in the open gaming area only, no events. I'm in an online group with people from Georgia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan (Me). Had so much fun playing online that we meet there every year.

That's awesome.
On another fun note: Keleth fixed my character submission problem so I'm good to go! Just need to pick a talent, and some kind of back story.

Will throw something together tonight. Also wanted a fighter, but maybe an all-fighter group is a bad idea eh (or is it?!)?. What's a cultural bonus and how do I get one? :-D

Play what you wish - understand a party without a healer will move through a story more slowly, and party death may be greater. I will have opportunity for replacement PCs to enter the story as required without too much delay

Making a female Barbarian battle cleric with serious anger management issues :-D I have a question about bonus talents granted by culture: do level restrictions apply? Or does me 1st level character get Brutal Blow?
Jun 9, 2015 4:48 am
No, they don't. However, if you want to increase them later on, then you will have to respect the level restrictions.

Is a holy symbol required for healers like in D&D? Is healing magic divine in origin?
Jun 10, 2015 12:09 pm
They are not mentioned anywhere in the rules as being required. There is no stated origin for healer magic but I assume divine in my campaign.
Jun 10, 2015 12:16 pm
The barbarians of Umbarla worship a warrior-god named Varl (think Crom from Conan the Barbarian)
This is the Code of Varl
1. Never venture into the Ruins of Valsted
2. Honor your tribe and its laws
3. Be proud and true
4. Seek out the fight and never turn from a challenge
5. Always be prepared to fight
6. Always be prepared to look death in the face
7. Rage gives you strength
8. Never bend your knee before a stranger
9. Repay kindness with kindness and steel with steel
10. Be merciless against your opponent but honor his strength after the victory
11. Honor your ancestors through your heroics
12. Those who do not honor the tribe must be banished
Feel free to use or ignore or worship the deity of your choice

Great stuff, thanks! My idea for Herja is that she's blessed with the talent for healing but she rejects the tribe's dictate that she become a medicine woman. Not waiting for the tribe to punish her for her defiance she sets out on her own to find her own destiny. I'd say she does honor Varl but still struggles with the healing gift. Just a warning to my fellow players, this hothead hottie is going to want to fight half the time she's supposed to be healing.

Jun 11, 2015 9:00 pm
Stuff Herja bought:
leather armor, 4gp
long bow, 10gp
torches (3), 3cp
weapon paste (2), 10sp
additional rations (3), 15sp
She still had 2gp real money so she used that too, leaving her with Guild tokens worth 4sp +7cp
Adjusted her character sheet already.

I'm here :-) Just logged on. Ok to do a little world-building? Thinking of a plateau on the edge of Umbarla Basin where there's a lake that's said to drive men mad. What about these Valsted ruins the barbarians are forbidden to visit?? Maybe Herja has been there eh?
OR is that a lake I see in the Forbidden Valley east of Umbarla Basin?

So just to confirm that I'm understanding the layout: The manor house is atop the cliff face, and the cave is somewhere on the same cliff face. The camp is below on the beach.
So we are returning to the beach to climb up the cliff to reach the caves we were told of. Is this more or less correct?

Not that it really matters, as it's 50/50 regardless, but does the torch go out on a 'successful (read:lower than)' CTN:10 check?

Using slayer points is something declared on one's turn right? Can they be used immediately after acquiring them?
Jun 25, 2015 2:59 pm
Yes. And spent basically anytime. Due to the nature of PBP, I permit things like Dodge to be post attack roll, too
Jun 25, 2015 3:20 pm
Unless roleplaying or other circumstances dictate otherwise, I assume healers heal during the catch breath portion post encounter. If situations force the party to flee or into another fight right away, there would be time to roll perhaps one heal.
No need to roll otherwise

Jun 25, 2015 3:56 pm
sounds good. I hadn't really studied the magic rules yet, so I wrongly assumed that magic was more limited as it is in other systems. But it seems the only limiting factor as far as frequency is the cooldown period? (and requiring a successful check to cast of course)
Jun 25, 2015 4:01 pm
And the active spell. You are free to cast your "active" spell, but if you want to change this active spell to be a different one you need a skill check-

Sorry, super busy pulling an all-nighter at work. It's 5am here. Dex would you mind rolling Healing Touch on Bart for Herja! Thanks!
Jun 25, 2015 6:27 pm
I didn't want to commit to the full 'catching breath' action, as I wasn't sure we wanted to spend an eternal 6 minutes waiting for Bart to pull himself together.
Jun 25, 2015 7:54 pm
There is an alternate "mana points" system I've used from time to time that puts more limits on casting.
The cooldown system allows GMs to really throw the kitchen sink at players, and rather than counting 100 rounds cooldown, I just call that "per encounter".

Sorry guys, bad timing earlier. Am off work now but sleepless :-P
I was looking forward to making Herja's first heal a big deal as she's reluctant to face that part of herself. Ah well. It was her big secret up until the point she went and healed Bart :-)
Stupid question: Is that Regular or Targeted Spellcasting? SPC=12, TSC=9.

Yes and no. You were off at a distance. They were dressed in blue robes, had clawed/webbed hands and fish-like faces under their hooded robes. The robes look the same as the people he saw going into the mausoleum.

Did I use the Charge action correctly? http://gamersplane.com/forums/thread/669/?p=13409#p13409 Not sure, and couldn't find the relevant rule in the book. If I used it wrong then Herja uses Brutal Blow instead (Also adds BOD to attack). If everything's ok then great. Will use Brutal Blow next round ;-)

14/24 I'll 'probably' survive ;)
I have a question about CTN above 20. For example, Dex's last roll:
The idea is you choose one die for the 'CTN 20' and one for the 'CTN 1' correct? Just curious why you would choose the 11 for the CTN 20. Though I suppose it would make sense if you just picked one arbitrarily because of Esteber's coup on defence.

I really wish Silence would play, It's not a big deal to NPC Slae but it just divides that XP by 5 instead of 4 at this point!

Herja will heal Bart this turn, earning her another SP I believe. Can I immediately cash in the 2SP for Def+8 or do I have to wait til next turn to cash in?
Jul 6, 2015 9:02 pm
Roll the spell check first to see if you succeed. If you do, you earn the SP and can then spend any time.

Although it is not reflected in the dice, I used Bart's increased defense, all attacks miss him.
Jul 23, 2015 3:50 pm
Bart is now weaponless. He could:
1) Spend all of next round picking up his sword
2) Spend an SP (if he had one left) to pick it up for free (or if he had Lighting Reflexes talent)
3) Next round, Attack with his bare hands (OD +5)
4) Next round, pull out a backup weapon and attack (pulling out weapon counts as move action).

I had a fighter who broke his club (melee fumble) and wooden shield (defense fumble) in the same fight.
Jul 23, 2015 9:30 pm
Not that it matters much in the current initiative order, but does Bart's initiative go up as soon as he drops Gertrude? The sword applies a - 2 penalty. It would make sense if the initiative changes after my next action with some other weapon.
Jul 23, 2015 9:48 pm
I'd say it would, but of course I'm not the GM here. I have no problem letting you go before me this round, I highly doubt this will affect my action.

Jabes, Kalajel, Parvus have all signed up to join a second PBP testing out the new Sci-fi rules "Starslayers" - which is based upon the same "Slay-Engine" that is used with DS.
Here is my living document translation Starslayers "Stray Dogs" Edition
It's a simplified version of the game coming out 'later'. This only has 3 classes and 3 races (plus one more race I unlocked by donating a couple of euros to Christian Kennig). Would not start until after I'm back from vacation. If it's too much for you, let me know that too.
I am editing the Small talk thread to remove the rest of the Star Slayers discussion, please continue talking SS on the new game thread.

Idea for miniatures -
How about I create encounter maps on a Google Slide (Free Powerpoint program) and give all players the right to edit the document?
On your turn in combat you can move your own token. Those of you who used to play with me on the DS forum - maintaining the movement was just too difficult/time consuming for me to do while working, etc.
I'd be ok with going "theater of the mind" like the DS game, but I would be willing to do this method if that interests you.

So are defensive slayer die rolls strictly necessary when the attack roll is less than the maximum CTN for the defence score?
Sep 22, 2015 12:23 pm
Yeah, don't worry about defense results when the attack misses - for example a defense fumble wouldn't count, nor do you need to roll slaying dice on a coup. - Because in RL you wouldn't roll the DEF roll anyway. Rolling your opponent's defense in PBP is just to speed the game process.

So tonight, I ended up playing a quick pickup game of DS with a couple friends of mine. It was with one local player and another buddy who recently moved to Syracuse. A regular player didn't show up and DS filled the void perfectly, even with just two PCs.
In the interest of time we ended up using the stats of Esteber and Veldebrand(from our previous game). They performed admirably in the Dungeon to go that we played.
I replaced the main Bandit baddy with a boot-stealing dog-poisoner. Many laughs were had.

I think I'm missing something. I can be pretty dense at times. I'm hanging on to the 3SP be able to avoid some big damage if Lord A gets another good shot in.
Also Dex, my health should be at 7/24,after the previous blasting Bart took.

Herja only has 1 SP now, Dex. I cashed in the first one to ignore 2 of the damage dealt her by the ashrogarr.

Would weapon paste only be expended if you hit something? Or just plain old attack rolls?
Oct 1, 2015 4:48 pm
The rules state "attacks" not hits, and since it adds to your WB, I rule any attack, hit or miss.

Herja can inspect items to see if they are magical. Succeed at a MND+AU roll and you know if an item contains magic. Then pass a MND+IN and you can flat out identify it.

Rather than make Grendel try to guess at his new attack CTN, the two hander is +1, no other special abilities.
Remember, that it equates to a bonus of WB+1, INI+1, OD-1 to the stats of a regular 2h sword.

Assuming the group is cool with Bart appropriating this beauty. I'm willing to dish out some of my gold share to offset it if you guys think that would be fair.

Sure, keep it. :) If all of you agree I say that when we find any weapon or similar, the char that can use it, keeps it. If there are two chars that can benefit from it or that char already has something of same or worse power, we all talk about it and decide. The money can be equally divided or kept in a common stash."

My opinion is that the proper item in the right character's hands pays off in spades for the entire party, so as long as the loot comes up decent for the whole group, we rarely make people take a cut for a magic item. Magic items are very expensive to purchase in DS, anyway.

Herja's Enchant Weapon is good for 2 minutes.
Is it possible to deal non-lethal damage in DS?

I would say that you render someone unconscious rather than slay them if you bring them to 0 or less HP and make a point of telling me before your attack.

whops, sorry guys, had a very busy weekend, my nephew was born, today is the national day in Spain...
before acting, one question. I want to shoot at the hermit's foot to try to intimidate him but without actually hurting him. Should I do my regular RAT roll and use the result as an intimidation roll or just do a regular intimidation roll (MND+AU)?

I misread, thought it was Bart who told Herja to forget the flute for now but turns out it was Esteber. Edited my post accordingly. The whole conversation between Herja and Atarin (with Esteber butting in) happens while the group is running for the mausoleum stairs.

Just to be sure, and to not throw Herja under the bus, is our tithe just on our official guild earnings or on everything we collected whilst on adventure for the guild?

You are supposed to give 1/10th of your total treasure findings. In this area (northern freelands to Vestrach) if you are 'adventuring' without being a member of the guild, you can be fined or imprisoned. This is a mandate of the Vestrach Merchant Guild and Ironhall Longbeards (like the Texas Rangers of the dwarven city). This was imposed because of the large amount of highway robbery taking place on both city's merchant caravans.
Nov 10, 2015 3:39 pm
Well, officially, Atarin gave everyone 10gp each, and Herja a bonus (I'm not sure why - was it to buy the flute off her?). I hope we can get away with not declaring unofficial income like that bonus, and non-cash treasure, like Gertrude 2.0!

I may have been unclear. He looked at all of you when he gave Herja the extra coins. You think he sees her as the group's leader. He was buying you all a room/food/petty cash for saving his life!

Ok, cool, will split it with the others then. The question remains, does the guild expect a cut from such bonuses?

In response to the discussion about the guild tokens she takes 15 of them. [10 gp are on the house]
Stuff Herja bought:
leather armor, 4gp
long bow, 10gp
torches (3), 3cp
weapon paste (2), 10sp
additional rations (3), 15sp
She still had 2gp real money so she used that too, leaving her with Guild tokens worth 4sp +7cp
The butler arrives with a small wooden chest. "You may count it if you wish, I assure you it is all there. I am a man of my word." [300gp]
You inspect the tomb and find a sarcophagus with the lid removed. Inside are: 5GP and 38GP and a nice looking two handed sword.
(Esteber OOC: We can each add 23 GP, with 1 GP left over. We can either put it in a "party loot" to be divided later, or one of us can get a 24th GP.)
Once in town he pays you each 10gp. Please, take this - he palms Herja another 10 gold coins [to be split]
Herja's earnings: 110.5gp [10% tithe = 11gp & 5cp]
Remaining money after paying the tithe and paying for the 5 guild tokens: 94.45gp + 4sp +7cp

Esteber's INI is now 9 (MOB 8, +2 Lightning Reflexes, -1 Metal Helmet). Also, since he's not using his shield once again, his DEF will be 16 (17 against attacks he,s aware of and not from the back). Since it seems I'm the party's official torchbearer, I might as well sell my shield on the next trip to the merchants... XD

Dec 5, 2015 6:47 pm
Yeah, I didn't think to buy any when we were in town. Well, since Herja won't be a frontliner I guess she can stow her weapon and be torchbearer :-)

Meh, it's okay, well see how well we fare in that fight. Besides, I still have that 1 dodge per fight to save my ass so...
Dec 5, 2015 6:58 pm
Herja's strategy for our last few fights has been: Charge in and attack while allies are still uninjured (make sure to use Brutal Blow), then fall back and switch to healer mode.
Some questions:
1. How many actions/rounds does it take to stow a weapon and switch to a shield?
2. Can Herja use her shield to defend an ally? I guess to do that she'd have to be out front, huh?
3. Can't you just drop a torch when combat starts? Do torches go out when you drop 'em?

1. P. 39 will answer your question, although investing into multiple ranks of Lightning Reflexes might help somewhat, at least for drawing it... In fact, with enough ranks of this talent, you could drop a weapon as a free action, heal someone, and then pick it up as a free action. :P
2. I'm not aware of any talents which would help do that (although, this would be a good idea for a new talent), so I guess you,re stuck doing it the hard way of putting yourself in between the enemy and your allies... XD
3. No official rule about that AFAIK, but Dex did seems to have houseruled that when someone dropped a torch in our last adventure (luckily, I picked it up before it wend out)...

Here in Praern you can visit a temple (healer spells) or a magic shoppe (wizard/sorcerer spells) to purchase scrolls level 1-5 at the listed prices. As an FYI in case we ever have a sorcerer - Fire magic (firebeam, etc) is frowned upon in most major cities (for obvious reasons) so sorcerers have to go to the 'black market' which sometimes involves dealing with servants of darkness.
Then instead of casting the scroll, you learn the spell (expends the scroll in the process).
I'll permit you to spend the gold and know Light if you'd like to say that you purchased it earlier!

Herja - when you have a spell that lasts n minutes but has a cooldown of just 1 round, you can go ahead and re-roll failures outside of combat for as long as people are willing to wait.
Dec 7, 2015 2:50 pm
Well I'm retrying then :-) Also enchanted Gertrude.
Lemme know if anyone else wants their weapons enchanted. Not guaranteeing anything though. MY CTN on it is 8.
Price: 10GP
SM: +0
Duration: IN minutes
Distance: Touch
Cooldown Period: 1 round
Effect: This spell gives a weapon magical powers. Its WB increases by one for the duration of the spell. The damage dealt with the enchanted weapon is considered magical and will even harm incorporeal beings such as ghosts.

Added a couple of rolls and got two successes! Can I give those to Estebar and Alden? Looking at the sequence of retries here and factoring in cooldown, it seems the enchantment on Herja's sword will run out about a minute and a half from now, then Bart's two rounds later, then the others a round after that. Unless I got all that completely wrong...

[quote="kalajel"]Keep in mind that in DS, a round is 5 seconds. So 12 rounds a minute.[/quote
I forgot about that. So how long, do you figure? In any case, as long as we move now all our weapons should be good for at least minute.

Dec 7, 2015 4:24 pm
Keep in mind the typical amount of time it takes to explore a space. I typically assume the spell a healer has "on deck" is Healing Touch. or some other healing spell. You can always declare the first round of combat what spell you are currently holding.
Dec 7, 2015 4:29 pm
You assume correctly. As soon as battle starts Herja has Healing Touch ready. Until I get Avada Kedavra.
Dec 7, 2015 5:07 pm
It looks like it took you 40 seconds to enchant all the weapons (Cooldown of 1 round after all), so your own weapon probably has something like 1 minute, 20 seconds of enchantment left.
Dec 10, 2015 2:34 am
No doubt the weapon enchantments have worn off by now. I'm applying weapon paste to casting it again on my broadsword.

Going back through the thread I realize I never said Herja dropped her weapon. But she must have, because she started (unsuccessfully) trying to heal people. What're the rules for using a shield as a weapon?
Edit: Oops, I see combat is over. But my question stands :-)

I would permit you to heal while using your shield, you would simply hold your weapon in your shield hand for a brief time or something.
There really are no rules for using one as a weapon, I would allow you to use one improvised. WB+0, OD +1

Hey guys, my home internet connection is broken (writing from the office) so I'll be out until fixed (hopefully not much time bu who knows), please autopilot me in the meantime.

Unless I put you right into another fight or you are fleeing, etc. - Just assume the healer tops everyone off. No need to roll.

I played a few roll20/g+ games with him in November, then he said he was taking on some extra holiday work. I reminded him he's welcomed back any time, he said thanks. Last I heard. I agree. Hope all is ok.

I have invited funfungiguy to our game. If Grendel comes back, we can continue with him too

Hey everyone! Good to see the folks I played with before; nice to meet the ones I haven't.

Hey man. You'll see a familiar face in the actual roleplay thread. Back from the dead. :P
Feb 5, 2016 5:51 pm
No worries, Dex.
I got a new job where there isn't an IT department blocking literally everything you try to do in the Internet. You guys were a security risk, you know.

"Realizing everyone's non-magical weapons aren't having much effect on the monster, Herja attempts to change her readied spell."
Isn't Bart's Gertrude Mk II already magical?

It's not magical/non-magical. It's something else. And everyone is still doing damage, it's halved for some reason....

Does this room have a fireplace? What if we pushed this thing into the fire? What rules are there for bull-rushing this thing into the fire (if there is a fire)?

there is a note function next to the OOC button. You then input the player name

I'm sorry, I've forgotten what sort of check is relevant here and so am unable to calculate CTN. But I rolled a 2. :)
Feb 26, 2016 4:42 pm
...
Rolls
Mind + Aura + Rascal (13) - (1d20)
(1) = 1
Coup (13) - (1d20)
(12) = 12

What would good quality weapons and armor do? (DS4 p.76)A bad quality item (equipment, armor or item) breaks on a fumble. It can be repaired using the repair rules (Pg. 86) A wooden weapon or shield of bad quality not only breaks on a fumble but cannot be repaired. It's effectively destroyed.
A good quality item grants +1 bonus to whatever CTN it is involved with. Weapons +1 attack, armor +1 AV, equipment +1 to associated skill checks. Good quality wooden weapons/shields do not break on a fumble
Make sense?

Hey guys, I'm in Denver until Sunday night for wrestling tournaments. I'll try and check in from time to time and keep up, but if I'm quiet it's not that I'm ignoring the games.

That is the only type of binding the I'm at makes. Still, it does the job very well. I asked my boss and he told me I can bring pdfs to print any time, and he won,t charge me anything. So guess who's going to be printing a bunch of pdfs he bought from the Pathfinder Humble Indie Bundle? :P

Oh, he knows, I told him I had LOT of pdfs to print. I told him about the Pathfinder core rulebook page count. He's okay with it. :P

Hey Dex, when you upload battlemaps on here during the combat scenes, do you have to upload through another image hosting site, or can you upload directly from your computer/device?
May 2, 2016 4:32 pm
Work has had me going pretty hard. I also was waiting for any further input from anyone else - moving it along now!

It's been a while sense we've fought, please make sure I captured your INI/HP/DEF correctly.

CTNs above 20
Take your CTN (target number) and divide by 20, round up. Each 20 becomes it's own CTN and the spillover becomes it's own CTN.
Example: With a MAT of 24, you have one CTN of 20 and one CTN of 4. So you would roll 2 d20. The first one can coup or fumble, the second on can coup, but cannot fumble.
You may choose which result is applied to whatever target you want. So lets say you roll a 3 and a 16. You can apply the 16 to the 20 CTN and the 3 to the 4 CTN. Add the results together to get 19. Get it?
If you roll a 6 and a 20, you do not fumble. You may apply the 20 to the 20 and the 6 to the 4 (failing) so in this case you'd do 20 damage.
If you roll a 20 and a 12, you fumble - no hit at all.
If you roll a 1 on either dice, you can apply it to a target and then reroll to add on for a coup like normal. This can result in some really nasty totals!

Ok I've added another d20 roll:
OOC:
How does one deal with CTN's above 20 again?
Rolls
MAT 11 + WB 1 + Enchant 1 + Brutal Blow 8 = CTN (21) - (1d20)
( 13 ) = 13
Houd of Camber's Defense (DEF 14, -2 broadsword; total DEF 12) - (1d20)
( 19 ) = 19
Another d20 - (1d20)
( 7 ) = 7So in this case the CTN's are 20 and 1. I apply the 13 to the 20 (a hit!) and the 7 to the 1 (a miss). And since they failed their defense I do 13 damage. Did I get that right?

Hey guys, my connection is back but sadly I'm having a lot of job lately and I'm not having much free time (barely enough to walk the dog, take a shower and go to bed). Sorry for that :( I hope to return some day to the fray but for now please ignore/autopilot my chars in all the games.
Jun 24, 2016 12:25 pm
Guys, work is getting kind of crazy and with the two drop outs i think I need to end the campaigns.
Jun 24, 2016 5:43 pm
I'm sorry hear this, but I do understand. Thanks for running these games. It's been real fun!
