Hmm when standing up from prone when are the AoO's resolved? before or after the prone condition goes away? My instinct is to say before, but I want a second opinion.

An AoO happens immediately upon trying to perform the action that provokes it. It interrupts it, so it is resolved before it is completed, and the moment it is attempted.

For example: A character that tries to drink a potion would provoke an AoO. If the provoked attacker decides to target the potion, the potion can be destroyed before it is consumed. If the attack is instead targeted against the potion drinker and hits, he must succeed a concentration check to complete the action and drink the potion.

Gazien I'm pretty sure doing those follow-up attacks is an full round action, not an AoO. I'll just use the first attack. If I'm wrong just correct me in OOC :p
Oh yeah everything except the marked AoO was a full-round action.

I had thought it was our turn again and combined everything. Whoops.

Oh it is fine I can use it as your turn. Sorry for being unclear.

So what's the story with Morjhan? Is he unconscious?

Also, I didn't include the +4 against a prone target in my AoO. So the total should be 16, not 12.

Quick question do people prefer me rolling in thread like I tried to do for the ogre, or are people fine with me mostly rolling real dice (which is definetly faster and more convenient for me.)

And I too agree that I'm fine with anything that makes your job easier.

Ditto. Do whatever is easiest. DMing is hard work. :D

aww thanks for the votes of confidence. I'll try to live up to them.

Also Pearl of Black Doubt is way too hard to keep track off, so rejoice great ulfe is probably the last enemy to use that stance for a while.

As noted earlier I'm going to be traveling so I might not be able to update over the next couple of days, possibly till Tuesday, though I will do my best to give updates.

@Catty: I forgot if you go with fractional progressions for BAB and saves. Just to confirm as I'll update my sheet if you do use fractions. Also, where is the secret passage Loot found up there?

So far you are the only one multiclassing, so let's go with fractions.

The passage connects to room 14. You could have bypassed their main defence and taken their women and children hostage. But eh. The orcs didn't know it and it needed a DC 23 search check to be found, which I think loot just made

Sadly it looks like Liara has decided to drop out of the game. So azumi will be taking over as queen of the orcs and stay behind.

Character sheet updated to 4th level.

Aawww...   :bigeyes

Everybody: I picked Heroism and Elation for my 2nd level spells, to keep focusing on my role of buffbot/beater. But if you think there's other spells that would be more useful to the party, I'm all ears. Here's the Cat Celebrant list of 2nd level spells for reference:

Anomander: Out of curiosity, just how did you get two unarmed strikes?  :o

You're looking at the full attack rather than the single attacks.
Two unarmed strikes as part of a full round by using two-weapon fighting. It is still possible to get two sources for it, however! Take one like the monk's that can be delivered with any body part, say, kicks, and another source that does not involve other body parts than the fists.
You then have an unarmed strike for your fists and another for everything else.

As for the spell choice, I'll have to check the Cat Celebrant to see how it works. I think Elation would be the best option as a buff since it can affect the entire party and has both defensive and offensive applications to it. It doesn't last as long, however, so if you can spam spells then applying Heroism on everyone can be better in the long run although Heroism will probably get replaced replaced if the Cat Celebrant has access to the Good Hope spell later.

Edit: Oh, you can pick two. Nevermind then! Normally I'd say Summon Monster is better unless you have another source of summons but for our particular party we can probably manage without it. Heroism+Elation powerbuffing all the way! Only other one I'd recommend instead of Heroism is the almighty Alter Self. It offers more flexibility for your personal defense and in utility for puzzles, exploration/movement modes and so on.

Yeah... do you get limited castings per day? Or can you spam them? (I don't have time to look at the class...)

I'm torn on what to take for my next level. Is the generic Expert OK? +2d6 sneak attack is pretty appealing... (given how much homebrew we're using, I assumed it was and went ahead and leveled up)

I'll level up tomorrow, don't have time today.  I'm sticking with my single base class.

I leveled up with another level of Bear Warrior Urskan. I'm now able to hide and ignore movement penalties in any ground instead of just snowy!

Edit: Urskan, not Bear Warrior. Whoops :P

Found time, leveled up.  I don't get any new class features because my race already granted the immunities.

Generic expert is OK, though in not sure why changing into a raven is not more tempting.

Actually this might be a good point to discuss what is working and what is not and what feels unbalanced.

Anyway I'm exhausted, no update tonight and tomorrow in traveling back. So yeah probably Tuesday.
