Hey Raineh I just realized something.

Would you be more comfortable playing a Paladin of Freedom?

There wouldn't be much changed mechanics-wise.  And you might feel more comfortable.  What do you think?

... not really? They don't even make sense. And it doesn't really fit with the whole samurai theme.

I'm ok with the variant alignment paladins, what's opponent is their code, whatever that code is. 

Maybe more ronin type?  I dunno, whatever comes to mind.  You'd know more.

Yeah maybe I made a roll or two, but there isn't really any more to say than what I attached to those rolls;

BUSTIN' DOWN A DOOR :p
Maybe note they were Strength checks -_-'
That's a lil' important.

Would you be more comfortable with one?

I've worked with rebuilding before, both very mild to very extreme, it's not a big problem and can always be worked around.

Why, I even have a reason for any deus ex machinas to occur right in the very room you're in.

Speaking of which, in general for everyone, is everyone keeping up?  Do I need to summarize recent events for anyone?

I suffer under Lawful alignments. Extreme cases excepted (F/SN Archer in crossover RP's), I keep to restrictions terribly. Chaotic, or Evil. I do them better. Damn Paladins, having nice features but hard to enjoy.

*Tempts you with Paladins of Freedom*

I remember you said doing so would be "un-samurai-ish", but I think there is plenty of variation within the ranks to allow for it.  Sure, most samurai may be lawful-something, but then you have your Son Gokus (ok, not a samurai, work with me here) who don't quite fit in but whose build (monks in this case) are usually lawful-something.

I'll put it this way.  There is an (unannounced) NPC in this game you may meet up with from Jingu.  He's a samurai in a fairly high position of authority, but he is non-lawful.  That's all I can reveal about him though.
Title: Re: Strata OOC- Arsonist Murderhobo Adventures!

I cannot play a non-lawful samurai. The whole concept just implodes if I'm trying to do it.

Post by: ketaro on November 18, 2014, 11:50:45 PM
Your alignment isn't a restriction on your personality. It is not difficult to be chaotically insane and Lawful. Lawful is simply following some rules set out by whatever organization is your peer.

There we go.  You're aspiring to be a samurai, but it's difficult.  You keep having that spark of free spirit which chafes against the orderly society before you.  Do you give in to your urges to do what you want, or are you trying to become that hero figure you so aspire to become yourself?  Internal struggle!  A reason to act as both lawful and chaotic as you struggle back and forth!  Sweet cash prizes!

I don't know if Matsu could go through there if he took 20... He has an Armor check penalty of -1 and the Feeble flaw, and his str is 12. So overall, he'll have a -2 modifier on all physical checks of this sort.

It occurs to me that I forgot to make the map of the surroundings, so you can decide if you want to hide/stand and fight/squeeze through the hole, etc.  Doh.

I can see if I can re-create it on the battle map (I may need it anyway if this ends in a fight, and it probably will).

Also, general shoutout to my players so I know they're about.  Combat likely, up and at 'em!  you may want to get your reactions in!

Oh, and here for 12 hours, I'll see what I can do.

Of course you need a battlemap. A dorf just got giant'ed and something is coming I think. I don't know. I think its on the side I'm on.

Post by: SolEiji on December 11, 2014, 12:03:33 AM
That is true.  Ptembridge is the safest person right now, except for the giant [REDACTED] next to him he's not aware of yet.  Or if the party manages to [DATA EXPUNGED] awakening the horde.

Unless she is a construct.  Hmmm wait, I got it.

Well since he didn't return in the 2 days between then and the 28th... what a pickle.

Do the others mind if I just have him holding action?  The swarms shouldn't eat him, quite yet.

Maybe.

Back. We had to drive down to Florida to board our ship, and then back. So overall, I was away a bit longer than anticipated. So it's my turn in the action? Or I need to roll to resist a trip or something?

Welcome back, feel free to take your turn now if you like, I just delayed you while you were MIA.

Though, course, now FireInTheSky is MIA.  If you see him, give him a buzz will you?  He's actually not been on the forums in a while and one of the last things he spoke of was recovering from jaw surgery.  I wonder if he's ok.

Anyway, undead freaky rat swarms and snaky arm monsters are incoming.  The paladin has charged ahead into action.  What will you do?

Wow. Sorry about falling off the face of the Earth there. :-\

That was some 6 weeks. This is the first weekend in what feels like 2 months where I've been able to just straight-up relax. Highlights include:
-Jaw surgery, and multiple follow-ups
-Holidays and everything that goes with them (including multiple family members staying at our house)
-Our German exchange student from 12 years ago visiting for 10 days with his girlfriend
-Started a new full-time job with a 2.5hr round-trip commute

So... I notice that the scissorman just did quite a lot of damage to Akemi (like 25? That would stagger Matsu! Ouch!). So we should probably go after him, no?

I think I'll continue to hurt the arm thing this round, but also try to bring in the scissor-man. However... I suspect he is undead. I'll also have to dump someone else out of the collective to bring him in. Actually... maybe not, since we lost both Shade and Berid (it seems), I have an extra slot. So... let's do it!

So... I notice that the scissorman just did quite a lot of damage to Akemi (like 25? That would stagger Matsu! Ouch!). So we should probably go after him, no?

I think I'll continue to hurt the arm thing this round, but also try to bring in the scissor-man. However... I suspect he is undead. I'll also have to dump someone else out of the collective to bring him in. Actually... maybe not, since we lost both Shade and Berid (it seems), I have an extra slot. So... let's do it!

The scissorman hasn't actually attacked yet, not sure where the 25 damage is from.  It just apparently liquified a wall.  Not to say Akemi isn't in trouble though.  Oh, she is.

Speaking of which, she's totally grappled.  Akemi, try to escape?

Oh somehow I thought the scissorman's snake arms had grappled her... and I just read the damages, ignoring whether they hit or not... Complete brain spasm there...

Post by: Raineh Daze on February 08, 2015, 01:47:10 PM
The PM's have confused me more, and I'm now at a total loss for what to do, because I don't know which grapple rules we're using.

Either it's PF's, and Akemi therefore isn't grappled because her CMD is too high, or it's 3.5's and I need to roll.
Title: Re: Strata OOC- Arsonist Murderhobo Adventures!
Post by: SolEiji on February 08, 2015, 02:16:21 PM
I found it!  The old thread talking about 3.5 vs CMB/CMD.  Right here. (http://www.minmaxboards.com/index.php?topic=13609.msg258189#msg258189)  And it looks like I had only gotten one vote on it, and it was a vote to use Variant Combat Maneuver Checks. (http://dnd-wiki.org/wiki/Variant_Combat_Maneuver_Checks_(3.5e_Variant_Rule))
Title: Re: Strata OOC- Arsonist Murderhobo Adventures!
Post by: Raineh Daze on February 08, 2015, 02:48:33 PM
So it comes down to the thing I can't remember: is AC equal to or higher than, or simply higher than? Because its roll equals Akemi's CMD.
Title: Re: Strata OOC- Arsonist Murderhobo Adventures!

Akemi actually, but I think Akemi, if she failed against the grapple, was just gonna struggle.  Please correct me if I'm wrong on that.

Even so next up would be Berid.  You can go ahead if you like.

Somewhere on the moon, in the home of one Eiji Hyrule...

"Boy, it's been a while since Strata moved I think.  It's hard to tell since I've been busy lately and I mean to be patient.  I wonder who is up.  Ha, perhaps they forgot to go, or maybe they're having an issue.  Well, I'll check up on it soon."

Time passes.

"Phew, still didn't get to it.  But I have a moment now.  ...whoa, I thought it's only been a week, but it's been two.  I have gotten completely mixed around lately I suppose.  Oh well, who's up?

...oh.

...OH.
 
Well.... shit."

The Scissorman has dragged Akemi (and itself) into it's spoopy portal just around the corner.  Lots of screaming, yes, and probably spooks and scares.  So they are off the map, though the portal remains open for now.

Normally, Swarms affect people within their area at the end of the swarm's move. They don't threaten areas, and so you can pass through them without much risk.

Some swarms may have their own special abilities that can cause problems, however.

Well, if I did try tactics on myself, then suddenly my own initiative would equal my own initiative -1 (N=N-1). The resulting loop would implode causality and end up with Ptem standing helpless until the encounter ended.  :hide It is also possible that my initiative would change normally, but it would change during the duration of my own turn; meaning that I basically used a swift action to delay a smidgen in the initiative order, not that I magically got an extra turn.

In general, infinite loops should be frowned upon- whether they result in niceness or not. So no worries there.

By the by, party Not-As-Screwed-As-Ptembridge need not wait for Ptembridge's actions, and vice versa.  Just so you know.

You guys may have learned something about your surroundings.  Are you still going north through the web of sorta-quintessence, or changing directions?  There's a locked door, and downstairs right next to you.

And now we wait for a description of our trip to the basement. Likely down massive, cliff-like stairs.

I wouldn't want to use them either.

Also, I dunno if Ptem is gonna be any better of a conversationalist than Mr. Invisible.  :D His Cha isn't as low as some of my characters, but still.

The Spider has a CHA of 2, to be fair.

Amazing, educated conversationalist. Just constantly surrounded by totally inappropriate sounds, and too small to be scary whilst at the same time being ugly. Still, talkative little thing.

Aww, sucks.  Flu?  Should have cast Remove Disease.

Summary of events:

The paladin has been kidnapped!
Ptembridge goes to rescue her!
Ptembridge is missing!
Axejack will punch his own doors!
Let's go into this laundry room.  There is smoke damage in here, a looted room, and spooky symbols.
Oh hey, this elevator goes down into the SLAUGHTER ROOM OF INFINITE SLAUGHTERY DEATH.  Pleasant.

At the moment: Matsu is offering gas masks for your inevitable trip down into the slaughter room in the basement.  Unless you want to poke around upstairs more.  Obvious exits are LOOTED ROOM, PROBABLY A CLOSET, and ELEVATOR TO HELL.

It's such a nice, deep pit Matsu.  And your friends are so thick and juicy and full of meat and blood and life.  They would probably make a wonderful sound if they fell down the pit Matsu.

On accident of course.  We're not monsters.  No, no, they are the monsters.

Just give them a push, a gentle shove Matsu. 

Let them fly Matsu... :devil

BERID!

.....awww shucks.  D:  That's sad to hear.  But thank you for letting us know.  I do have a contingency for missing or departing players, so the game will go on.  If you ever get time again, you're always welcome back.

In that case, do you have a preference on the fate of your character, if any?  If not I'll probably default to you succumbing to the madness of the Mark and becoming an NPC.  That's the metagame reason it's there, after all.

And also... good luck on your new job ok?

I know, I know. :-\

I'm really enjoying the job, but it takes a ton of brainpower, and when I get home, I'm just drained. I'm one of 6 people on the software support team for a lighting console distributor, and getting up to speed is fun, but my brain feels full all the time. (My boss said I'd probably feel like that for a year or so, and I'm 5 months in... :P)

I'd love to stay, but I don't know how often I'd have the energy to check, and then catching up takes more more effort. I was definitely enjoying the chance to actually play some of my own homebrew as well.

If someone wants to play Berid, they're welcome to. He could also turn into 6cat. :P Or just be swallowed up by the madness.

I think people took it as "about to kick in the door".  To be fair, I also took it that way.

Sounds appropriate. Also makes sense; Hairy Spider is a MoF web supplement.

The glorious story I cannot be bothered to write in the bio: basically, there was a demonic contract. Before it was signed, a spider that recently walked through a pool of ink stumbled across the page, signing the deal. Because it obviously wasn't intelligent enough to uphold its bargain, hell intervened. The result is a totally amoral scholar who also happens to be a spider acting as a conduit for the power of the lower planes.

On the plus side, Squiggle is quite friendly if you aren't an obstacle.

So does Drosselmeyer have a thing against people with marks on them?  Also, is he a talking rat?

Yes, but it's a reason completely different than the people on the outside.  On the outside, people hate the Marked because they are time bombs waiting to happen.  The curse of the mark (http://i62.tinypic.com/s5l6k6.png) is eventual and inevitable insanity, which ranges to benign catatonia to mad psychosis. And it can come at any time.  That, and zoning out at the worst possible times.

That, and the fact the Titans, giant kaiju level monsters, seem to ignore them, make others think that the Marked are somehow allied to the monsters in the underdark.

But Drossel knows nothing of this.  For him, it's a religious thing.  He god has said this mark is bad, but he knows not why.

...also you didn't know?  Yes, Drossel and his friends are all talking rats.  Drossel is unusually large for a rat too (Small sized).

You probably have heard illithid as "an underdark thing" but you don't know any 100% accurate things about them.  They might eat brains, or blood, or just break your mind, or steal souls, or something.

For Raineh: While you don't know much about it's original form (other than being a humanoid, if deformed, being), you know it rose as some kind of awakened dead.  Probably the Corpse Creature template (http://www.realmshelps.net/monsters/templates/corpse.shtml).  As such it's basically just standard undead immunities.

You know one ability (not from the template, but apparently unique to it) is its ability to access the shadow plane version of this house, and the corrupted tunnels formed by the Mizmazer's things.  You know it's sapient.  And you know it has control over those snake-arm creatures the party fought earlier.  In fact, there are a lot of hand-based monsters in here, either aberrations or undead.

Probably, they've been in this house since, well, since rats started talking, the dead started walking, and so forth.

I bet it was those "invaders" which were here earlier and ransacked the mansion.

FYI, you may know I have been MIA the last few days, and it's not quite over yet.  I am watching but I won't always be able to reply.  Psysama and Bhu have my email, they can communicate for me in proxy.  Back to the net-less work for the moment.

That's a valid question.  Their obstructions.  Science gear, test tubes, etc.  There is a library somewhere on the right, and a large spooky tome thing over there too all necronomicon like.

In your case you're in the rafters, which is why I left the light brown criss crossing thing, for you to clamber across.  Rats are up there, but I'm not placing all of them.  It's basically a ceiling-wide thin swarm.

Two votes is enough to act upon.  And you're right, Psysama has been scarce (I did hear from him, but he vanished again).

All things considered, I think I'll skip his turn and treat him as total defense this round then.  Which puts it to Matsu.  Let's see if I can get the blood pumping again on this old girl.

For one, the battle shears aren't linked properly.

For two (for the party), I'ma note treasure in the Char Sheet thread. I'm the 2nd highest post in there so easy to find for everyone.

For three, this might be a good time for a roll call.

Ketaro, so thoughtful!  Thanks!

And I agree!  ROLL CALL!  From what I can tell we've lost Raineh (she hasn't responded to hails).  Psysama is a mystery who is vanishing for months only to return.  I may need to open things up for new players again, though at the moment I am thankful for both of you for sticking through.

I forgot that Matsu had this ability (from his Sadist Archetype):
Exquisite Agony (Su)
When a member of the sadist's collective dies, instead of needing to make a save to avoid taking damage, the sadist gains a number of temporary power points equal to the Hit Die of the creature killed. These power points last a number of rounds equal to the sadist's Wisdom modifier and do not stack with each other or other temporary power points.

This would have saved him a few power points on that last Vigor he used. How many HD did those arm things have, anyway?

Wow... too much action in here! Moving my "edit" to a new post:



I'm also wondering how/if Hostile Empathic Transfer would work over his collective... Powers with the [Healing] subdisipline all count as network powers, but I'm not sure if either version of this counts (it isn't labeled explicity... but I'm not sure if anything else is either...) If it does... he could ignore Spell Resistance and immunity to Mind-Affecting, making it a rather nasty attack form to use on enemies that he's already forced into his collective via Unwilling Participant.

Also... could he use this to heal someone else? Typically, vitalists can redirect all healing to anyone else within their collective. So I think this should work regardless of whether it counts as a network power or not. (But please let me count it as a network power :P )

Umm... hell no! I thought the rat was outside the door, but even so, yeah... we'll use Telepathy.

Edit: Man... the tiny number of powers known is really, really limiting on vitalists... even with the ability to swap out powers known every day! I'd happily trade that ability in for a few more powers known!

Sounds like you still want to play then.  Alright, I'll set you up on like Axejack's shoulder or something then.  You're in the master bedroom.  The scissorman is dead, and Chim, one of the rats, is nearby.

If I understand it, [Healing] is a tag, so Hostile Empathic won't count.  I'll look it over in more detail later when I am less busy, but for the moment we'll say no.  If I change my mind I'll inform you.

Yeah... I saw the Healing tag on a few other powers, and decided that it wasn't imaginary. Ah well... hmm... now to decide if it is worth trying to use a power that requires a melee touch attack or not...

I'd really like to pick up Benign Transposition instead. I love that power... and I can use it on anyone in my network, range unlimited. :P

In other news which has suddenly become important: Matsu!  I've been under the assumption that your psicrystal has recalled once the rats broke up and Drossel went into commune with his god.  But did it actually return to you or is it still there?  Depending where it is there are different results.

Just a heads up, on Wednesday I'll be going on vacation.  I'll have computer access again on the 19th/20th.  Wystan can be NPC'd during that time so as to not slow things down further unnecessarily.

Thanks for the heads up.  I'll see if I can get you something to reply to before then.  Any particular hidden agendas you have in mind in the meantime?  You can PM me if it's a secret.

And speaking of people going afk.... where the heck is Psysama again?

No... I looked through my powers known, and even the ones I'd considered or would be capable of using. I didn't see anything...

Lucid Dreaming probably would be a good fit for this game... Feel free to use my version of it (http://www.minmaxboards.com/index.php?topic=7283.0). :P

So it looks like the first DSP book on psionics didn't include cantrips/orisons/whatever they're called, and the later one did. So should vitalists now get Detect Psionics as a cantrip like it looks like all the other psionic classes do?

If so... I could try and identify those items...

....what?

http://www.d20pfsrd.com/psionics-unleashed/classes/vitalist

First level you get Knacks.  Click the Vitalist Power List and you'll see Detect Psionics as a 0 level power.

So yeah, you can have at will Detect Psionics.

Well that's not a problem with Vitalist, that's a problem with you being too Sadistic.   :P

Vitalist can be underwhelming, I'll admit that. 

Completely off topic, but if anyone plays Pathfinder out of this game and is looking for a healing role, DSP just released a path of war class based on healing called the Medic.  I haven't looked at it yet.

If he can then cool. Some of the magic stuff came already identified so I simply assumed Drossel gave us what he knew and the rest is unknown or forgotten by him. Yanno, degrading mental abilities and all. Feeding him one of us may jog his memory tho  :plotting

I kid.

Gosh, I reread half this thread just to be able to make that post.

Treasure list has been updated (http://www.minmaxboards.com/index.php?topic=13584.msg234026#msg234026)

Take what you want and I'll remove it. As for the gold split, how bout we wait till we get to a town with places to buy/sell before splitting? Because 1) We might lose your corpse like how we just lost 1 or 2 ally corpses to the imploding house just now and thus all their items  :shakefist
and 2) it gives Wynstan a chance to earn a fair share  ;)

I'm pretty sure we're only 1 day out from where we started so we have 5 days ahead of us before the next town.

Actually you have your no-longer-mentally-present allies with you.  But they are little more than not-yet-hungry zombies at this point who have been shambling behind you guys mindlessly.

And of course, left unattended, they will eventually get hungry.

I have to double check, I think the next town is Roanoke or something.  And there are smaller villages a bit out of the way.  I'll get back to you on that.

A Cloak of the Hedge Wizard (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/wondrous-items/wondrous-items/c-d/cloak-of-the-hedge-wizard) (Divination) gives detect magic at will, as well as some other stuff.

FYI if it's named/linked, you know what it is.  The unidentified items have the "you don't know what this does" thing.

Also, you can always try them out manually, putting on the hopefully not cursed ring and hoping it auto-activates and all.  If you want.

Or wait til you get to town and have someone ID them.
