With Nuts of course.
Happy Holidays to everyone! Whether you celebrate Christmas, Yule, Hearths Warming, or some other degenerate (Kwanza) or (((unspoken))) tradition, I hope you have a safe and 'as happy as possible' holiday season as you no doubt maneuver in and out of the world of normies and others!
I have no idea if any crucial gaming will occur weekend, but its about to get funky-fresh on several fronts. We last left Torcuil trying to navigate through Krenshal for someone skilled and crazy enough to build a Robo-ponk. Trumpaladin and Tracy were getting their things together to hunt a Unicorn with Elway's blessing and direction. Thez is being a little bit emo (its the hormones) while Infernius continues being a dutiful and upstanding guy.
What will happen next, and in what order? Will the players defy GM's careful designs for the umpteenth time? You can bet on that!

Your skill points is equal to 2+int modifier per level, plus (2+int modifier)x4 at the first level, as well as 4 at the first level plus 1 per each additional level as a racial feature.
Torcuil has an int of 16, thus a modifier of +3. Torcuil has 99 skill points in total to allot.
He has 4 ability points in total to allot, although I would not be surprised if you have allotted 3 of these already

Decent points. To be honest, the only reason I haven't had any issue with it so far is because Tracy hasn't really done anything useful with them so far (what? its true,....). I don't mean to diminish the irritation that others have experienced, but none of it has really affected gameplay.
>>37867
>white armor
I was thinking it, for the record
It means (Intelligence modifier +2)x19 are the skill points that can be applied. They don't matter much, but they may as Torcuil gets more jiggy with custom spells and such (I'd also recommend Spellcraft)

Also, part of why I want Tracy to make relations with Hags is that I feel like I kind of bullshitted that last requirement for Blackguard. When I first read about the class as "one who was empowered by the fiends" I jumped on it, because Tracy had just gained power by consuming the essence of two different fiend. The thing is, she didn't gain that power through Diplomacy, she stole it. I want to own this Blackguard theme and make her become a master of monsters.

I gtg for a while, see you in an hour.
Now feats are a whole different area, and one I suggest paying more attention to. Feats amount to "techniques", "tricks", "abilities", or otherwise individual nuances and devised strategies that often result in unique or novel moves/actions. For spellcasters in particular, there are a number of metamagic feats that allow quickened casting, silent casting, maximized casting, etc. of whatever spell. A fireball does 1d6/lvl of damage, but a maximized fireball does 6/lvl of damage.

Are you sure you still want blackguard? It's the exact opposite fighting style of a rogue or assassin

>exact opposite fighting style of a rogue or assassin
They get Sneak Attack too; that much is useful. 1d10 HD per level isn't bad either, and Aura of Despair is useful with the Assassin's Death Attack.
I at least want five levels; then she'll be able to summon her Fiendish Servant.
I'll admit that everything beyond lvl 5 is really just Dead Levels though. Smite Good is really only useful for Fallen Paladins. I'll probably put it into Assassin or Rogue after that.
My bottom line point is that I want to play an ebil character, and I feel like I haven't been ebil enough lately. I want to crack it up a notch.

So,... if I'm reading this right, you want your 16 lvl character to - again - level shift, so that now they're a 10/rogue 1/assassin 5/BG?

>I want to play an ebil characteer
Are you sure? In the past three days you've been complaining about looting a sword taken from a defeated enemy who helped to steal massive resources from the party and the city they are supposed to be protecting, saying "it belongs to him." You've also complained about a horse's life being valued less because it's not of use to the party, "that's not how you value life anon." And this besides feeling the need to resurrect enemies like zombies.
It's okay if you want to play a lawful good paladin. Just have her put on the helm, and she can POOF be the Paladin she believes her husband ought to be
>>37878
I think he wants to use his new levels to advance blackguard. Then again, he said he wanted to put them into rogue. I don't know

I didn't complain, I said I wouldn't do it because he'd probably just immediately figure out who stole his stuff.
Also, meta discussion is not the same as chgaracter development. My standards are not that of the character I play.

Then will you please for the love of God stop moralizing about our character's actions while playing a dumb as fuck "ebil" character who wants to burn down the entire party's wood resources because "edgy le ebin ebil :DDDDDD" and resurrect the Tarasque and other shit that keeps harming the party because "oh so edgy"

A fasce is just an axe wraped in rods of wood. Put all of the rods together around a bigger axe, and you've got a weapon twice as large. It should optimally be tied with a red band.

So, what do those skill points do?

How have I sunk so far into autism?

Just take a tree-orc's blood or something
Honestly I think a fasce would be better as a battle banner which your character should carry, since that is the actual intended purpose of a fasce
>>37924
When you place them into a skill class and run a skill check, then you get those points added to your dice roll

>>37935
I calculated 114. I may be wrong though. Remember that if a skill is not listed on the wiki page for a wizard, it's not a class skill, and so ranks in it cost two skill points and not one

Yeah, it would have been perfect for the scene in the stables where Infernius walks in for some reason
That armor Trumpaladin got from Korak. That's Celestial Armor, right? Except I think you said once that it is "neutral aligned" and it also seems to be glamoured.

Based off Celestial Armor, yes. "Ambivalent" is the "term" for the "Armor". Its not glamoured, but it has a "fixing" enchantment. Oh wait, you're not supposed to know about that, you're supposed to worry about how to fix the stuff.

Let me ask you my real question. If Trumpaladin falls off of a flying mount, and issues the command "fly," will the armor save him, or will he fall?

Honestly, this is why I have such a hard time identifying with how readily you like to poke, jab, and prod at one another. I'm all for playful banter, OOC fights and all, but I thought the party was where one character attempts to OUT-DO other characters and make them all look bad for their poor role-playing.

"Oh look, I've negotiated the nefarious race into doing manual labor and helping the party build ships."
