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!

A fasce could probably do bludgeoning damage as well. Count it as an exotic weapon.

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.

It'd be pretty unwieldy though

>>37925
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

Just put everything you can into Spellcraft and Knowledge Arcana for now, then figure out where to allocate the rest.
>>37925
They wouldn't fit together, you could just use twice the number of rods around a single axe to make a heavier weapon.

By continually participating in this thread. As for the rest, they give nominal bonuses in context-related interactions, but they're more to give an idea of what the character is good at, or has a proclivity toward.

U were were you? You couldn't go for something simpler, like a battle axe with fascia iconographia along the haft?

I keep track of every item. Even the ones I haven't made much use of. Just because I haven't used the ever-smoking bottle (although I can think of a couple situations I should have used it) doesn't mean I have forgotten about it

>>37934
And realistically these things should have eaten Tracy and not take orders from her. You're sharing these birds

>>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.

>Taking responsibility for choices
I'm beginning to wonder if having my character complete his "fuck Unicorn A" quest was not as wise a choice as I thought

>>37943
You want me to try black guard, don't you? That's not as easy as you might think though. He only gets 4 skill points per level (5 if I boost his Int) and 5 ranks of hide will cost him 10 points

>>37944
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?

You wanna help Tracy make some? They could get more done together.
Also, you should pack those vest pokets with some vials of Alchemist's Fire; I want to make a few for Tracy too.

I meant to use the bottle for escape. It won't help much if you have to pray for a good roll when you really need it.

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 saved the party because the guards didn't bother to cavity check and I snuck in some poison."
"Oh look, I've negotiated the nefarious race into doing manual labor and helping the party build ships."
"Oh look, I've beaten everyone's faces in and there are a few dozen corpses to loot," (that last was Thez) is the sort of "party rivalry" I had been looking for

Even with your bullshit Ethereal haxx you should have failed a hide check from the conversation and she never would have trusted you. Literally the only reason you were able to get her at all was because you begged GM "I've been here six hours to do one thing. Let me do that one thing." You did not earn that
