Pathfinder: Good Campaign Yes?

[Jennywocky]

It's only 1d2, with a nurse you'll recover it within a day and I imagine Radrax is only sending us on these raids once a week or so, maybe every 2-3 days, having a -1 on your Int mod won't affect your saves and a -1 on knowledge checks is hardly crippling, now the +1-2 increase in your DCs on the other hand that's pretty sweet and if you're not levelling as fast as the rest of us you'll need it pretty soon as those enemy saves start going up.

Or is Falisa not a charisma based caster?

...Take a guess.

I don't want it, since it's damaging my main stat.

 

[Cognisant]

Oh.
Oooooooooooh

Mumia?
It's really expensive though.

The cheapest Lilith can make it is 163gp, which is actually at a small loss and it's going to take up a lot of her time, you may have to wait a few sessions before this becomes a viable option.

In the meantime it might be worth keeping a dose of Midnight Milk at the ready, just in case we need you recharged ASAP.

 

[Jennywocky]

I think I'll be okay. I'll stick with coconut oil for my skin and rouge to bring out color in my cheeks.

 

[Cognisant]

"I'm sure a handsome young rogue will put colour in your cheeks, and a knife in your back, I'll pack some antitoxin" Lilith gives Falisa a hard look and dissatisfied with the befuddled reaction adds "and some night tea in case that's not all he sticks in you".

 

[Jennywocky]

ROFL wtf???

Falisa just stares at Lilith like she has two heads. Slowly, one of her eyes twitch and her face turns an odd shade of pink and red. She backs away in little steps and then abruptly darts up the steps back into the mansion and disappears.

 

[Cognisant]

Just messing with ya

 

[Hadoblado]

Sorry guys shit's gettin' too real recently. I'll shovel out xp and gold first opportunity.

I know I'm already late, I just can't prioritise D&D over other stuff right now :/

I'm considering retraining Zen Archer, not having many feats sucks balls when you're a ranged build

I'm thinking of fighter-something (probably Drill Sergeant) not being beholden to the Monk nonsense lets Lilith wear proper armour (Leather + Armored Kilt, no penalty or speed reduction, +3 AC), the first bonus feat won't change (still Point-Blank Shot) and I'd also like to retrain Skill Focus Alchemy for Flyby Attack although the time/cost for retraining that will be separate.

Drill Sergeant 1st Point-Blank Shot, Flyby Attack
Vivisectionist (CL1) 2nd Throw Anything, Brew Potion, Mutagen
Vivisectionist (CL2) 3rd Tumor Familiar, Precise Shot
(Familiar: Greensting Scorpion, +4 Initiative)
Drill Sergeant 4th Covering Fire (tactician), Focused Shot
Vivisectionist (CL3) 5th Stealthy
Vivisectionist (CL4) 6th Chameleon
Vivisectionist (CL5) 7th Dodge
Vivisectionist (CL6) 8th Sticky Poisons
Vivisectionist (CL7) 9th Wind Stance

Using the tactician ability to give everyone Ally Shield was an amusing idea but certain to backfire sooner or later, Covering Fire on the other hand lets me Buff everyone which will be handy in a boss fight. The key points of interest are Flyby Attack and Focused Shot, I figure if I'm abusing concealment I won't need Ally Shield anyway and as I'll be constantly moving anything that requires a full round action is irrelevant.

I like to plan things in advance so

That's one of the problems with Zen Archer and why I've seen Fighter (vs Monk) recommended over it as the core class in terms of long-term viability. Fighters get feats.

I like to plan things in advance so

I'm constantly retooling builds.

I mentioned I retooled V'as for 12th level in case I need her in my other campaign. Even with just being a straight Unchained Monk and not MoMS (so she can only do one style at a time), with Crane/Panther she's just sick... 36 AC, 28 Touch, doing 2d6+8 damage per attack in a full BAB flurry and able to reposition up to 40' on the grid in the middle of a flurry... plus trip attacks, plus 6 AoOs per round and up to 5-6 free "retaliation attacks" out the wazoo.

PS. Getting close to Lich time. My cryptic thrallherd has almost finished her soulstone. The coolest part is that no one in the party will really know, hopefully, based on my items and skillsets and such. They might not figure it out for a long while. Bwa ha ha ha ha! And I'm already N/NE, so they can't really tell.

 

[Cognisant]

Here's something interesting, the Carnivalist rogue archetype includes a familiar whose level stacks with any class that grants a familiar... I suppose that means an Alchemist counts as you can get a tumor familiar whose levels increase with the alchemist's effective caster level. More interestingly the levels stack with the Vivisectionist levels to determine the amount of sneak attack damage but after 2nd level the Carnivalist sneak attack doesn't advance as normal, so unless Hado vetos it this way I could effectively get a familiar at full caster level and full sneak attack, despite multiclassing.

Cheese you now sneeze glitter

Cog you were last seen flying past the estate with a tinfoil fadora and vicious leopard print leotard. You've also started shaving the feathers around your second chin. Also also you are addicted to both opium and crack. What do?

Dor you are experiencing a wardrobe malfunction of the same magnitude as Cog (minus the obesity and drug addiction).

So how much is this all going to cost me?
Both curses and addictions.

 

[Jennywocky]

So the money we found:

- 3055gp

plus all the regular stuff we can sell (if no one wants it):

- Rose crystal clappered bell (1100 gp value)

- Two large steel shields (total: 18-40gp, depending on light/heavy)
- Longbow (75gp)

Magic Weapons/Armor

- +1 shortspear (2301gp)
- 20x +1 arrows (2301gp)
- +1 dagger (2302g)
Subtotal: 6904gp / 2 = 3452gp

GRAND TOTAL: 3055 gp + 963gp + 3452gp = 7470gp
(divided then by people in group = 5 for this session)
Everyone gets 1494gp apiece

---

Also (since I don't know what we want to keep):

Potions/Scrolls

----------------------------

So how much is this all going to cost me?
Both curses and addictions.

If you don't have your health, what do you have, eh?

Do it for yourself, Lilith.
Give yourself the gift that keeps on giving.

Hado was removing the tiny curses for around 15-25gp apiece, last time, depending on your social savvy.

Remove Disease should technically work to remove the addiction, if you don't want to go to posh rehab for a month. That's a 3rd level spell and I think is around 375gp for a cleric version (the cheapest). But I don't know how Hado is handling this particular circumstance. On one hand, you chose to get on the crazy train and he gave you experience for it; OTOH, maybe he'll be merciful.

 

[Hadoblado]

Sorry guys time out for a bit. Got me some busy. Sorry for not saying anything earlier, that was a bit sloppy. Looking at at least a few weeks before another session.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Coming up with content can be taxing, how about I provide a diversion?

Third time's a charm right ...right?

Scarborough Hunter's Academy
A short campaign for 1st level characters, a prologue really, the Scarborough Hunter's Academy trains bounty hunters that specialize in capturing (not killing) elusive/dangerous fugitives. Although they don't get as much work as run of the mill monster hunters the jobs they do get attract significantly higher pay, the clientele having come to a degree of finesse that's hard to find among typical adventurers. As you're still being trained you won't be doing any such work, instead you will face a series of challenges constructed to test you physically, mentally and as a team, so be careful because not everyone survives the academy and even fewer graduate.

You graduate at 3rd level, you won't be getting any experience from killing things as you're neither monster hunters nor murderers, instead you'll be getting experience for live capture, incapacitation, puzzle solving, social trickery, etc, the skills you'll be using once you graduate.

All classes gain experience equally, health is full, starting wealth is 500gp per player in a shared pool so you have to discuss among yourselves what equipment you'll need to function effectively as a team, you won't be getting any more money until you graduate (technically you're in debt). Two traits, no drawbacks for extra traits, by all means take the traits that give you greater starting wealth. Finally any race if fine as long as you adjust it to RP10 but remember capturing people alive is MUCH easier when you catch them by surprise and exotic races attract attention.

 

[Cognisant]

Due to your special training you start with a few extra skills.

You can muffle people when you maintain a grapple, they don't get a chance to make a loud noise in the first round, this merely prevents them screaming (or casting vocal spells) you'll still need to make a stealth vs their CMD to hide while grappling an opponent, also you can't attack an opponent while muffling them but you can still move them.

The survival skill doubles as your "street smarts" skill, it can be used to track in urban environments, it also lets you make an educated guess about who people are (their profession) and thus identify when someone is somewhere they don't belong or watching you too closely.

You get this feat for free: Bludgeoner (Combat)

 

[Cognisant]

So nobody's going to dignify that with a response?

Just so you know that kinda hurts.

 

[cheese]

If it helps, I never read any of that stuff cos I have no idea what it means.

 

[Jennywocky]

It sounds entertaining. If you get to playtest it, let us know how it turns out.

 

[Hadoblado]

I honestly can't see myself wanting to rekindle this, interest seems to have died down and I just don't have the time/energy. Sorry guys

 

[Jennywocky]

Oh well. It was fun, and I was interested. But I know it takes a lot of your energy, so it's okay.
