What it is? Its an ongoing thread-based fantasy RPG
What it do? Players do their thing based off dice scripts and 3.5e D&D as a rules baseline.
Throughout the week we shitpost at one another and on weekends we kill shit or surmount some form of obstacle. New players always welcome.
The party currently has a trebuchet, a series of cannons, and an airship with another series of cannons aimed at a floating black pyramid just out from the docks of Port Barry. Its not actually a pyramid, its an octahedron, but its half submerged. Some quick thinking from the resident Mage kept it from teleporting away and escaping, and now the party is looking to crack that bitch open and see what sorta toys are inside. And kill shit.

>>45730Yeah, but only Torc has the Knowledge/Spellcraft to understand the implications of it.
>>45731A person who himself is powered by divine spells, and who studies and follows the divine doesn't understand the implications?
>>45732>A person who himself is powered by divine spells, and who studies and follows the divine doesn't understand the implications?How many ranks did you put into Knowledge Religion?
Anyway, at least wait for Torc's dialogue.
>>45734Torc's spellcraft check was his dialogue.
Alright. First the red ones move, and then the black one moves.
No attacks of opportunity cuz concealment.
[1d100 = 19]Their approach produces sounds of stretching canvas and muffled thumping, The smell of old and rotten spices fills the air.
>>45736>1 Fae stumbles against one of the creatures and goes barreling over it, collapsing in an unceremonious heap just past the line
>>45737Is it Tracy's turn?
Tracy's nose scrunches at the powerful scent.
"Ewww.. Smells like the dumpster behind The Tasty Treat.." she says quietly to herself, in disgust.
>>45739Yes. Tracy, followed by Trump
>>45737He has you as next in the line of initiative after Fae
Although I rolled higher >>45740Is she within Striking distance?
>>45741Actually, you're right. I don't know why I have them backward. It IS Trump's turn
[5d20 = 42]>>45743Wow
My move is: Draw Bees Shield
Quick Draw Vanderiem, even if hand is sleepy
"Please don't ask why it's wet"
Boots of the wolf to assume flanking position on the Overwhelming signature, and
Featherfall for fifth attack in a round, and smite evil on first strike
Smite, slash, slash, slash, slash
>>45744First round bonus should be +17 Base attack +5 strength (unless you're rating his strength as lower) +4 for smite (first attack only, not applied to any other attack) +7 Vanderiem on Evil +2 flanking - whatever his penalty is for a semi-functioning right hand
>>45746Huzzah! Yes, on the first attack. I'm not sure how the featherfall extra attack figures in
[3d100 = 143]Hit, Hit, Miss, Hit, Miss,... maybe
When operating in total concealment, there's a 50% miss chance even with a successful hit.
>>45747Feather fall does the same attack bonus as the last attack.
>>45746>>45744If that attack lands, is Tracy able to use her Opportunist ability to make her own attack of opportunity against it?
Ooooh, 1st two attacks miss.
>>45750Can Tracy make an attack of opportunity?
>>45752Opportunist (special rogue ability):
>Once per round, the rogue can make an attack of opportunity against an opponent who has just been struck for damage in melee by another character. This attack counts as the rogue’s attack of opportunity for that round. Even a rogue with the Combat Reflexes feat can’t use the opportunist ability more than once per round.It was the 2nd ability I selected for her after Crippling Strike.
Not sure because concealment, but it doesn't say she can't.
>>45753You're at a distance though
>>45756This is why you don't need more cheats
You can't see it
[1d10+12 = 17]>>45756I'm gonna say no in this case, cuz she'd have no way to detect/target the opponent. It is Tracy's turn though.
Trump's str is +5, +7 V so,...
>>45757>cheatsM8, I just wanna make a shot at this thing to trip it prone before it turns Trumpaladin to dust. It doesn't say she can't attack a concealed target.
>>45758Tracy uses her cane-sword to blow a Gust Of Wind towards the door, and suck out the dust obscurring the room with the vacuum.
She then Uses her Hand Of Glory to cast Daylight, so Trumpaladin will be able to see in his next turn.
>>45760Reeee! Use sneak attacks! Now Trumpaladin doesn't have concealment
>>45762You can't sneak attack undead. And I wanna miss next time I hit.
>Now Trumpaladin doesn't have concealmentIt was doing you no good. Now your attacks will actually land.
Actually, eh. Stuff happens
[1d20 = 17]>>45760The winds buffet against Torcuil, and temporarily blind him with the fine particles of dust suddenly blown into his eyes.
However, Tracy and Trump and Fae are able to get glimpses of withered, dessicated corpses, wrapped in strips of cloth, and various jewelry items of ancient dieties and cultures. The big one is wearing exquisite Half-plate armor covered in gems.
>>45770"MY FUCKING EYES, GAH!"
Does that mean he loses his turn?
>>45772Snek decides to finally try his new gun on the nearest... thing
[1d20 = 14] >>45770Was it able to clear the dust from the room?
Tbh, I knew it'd blow past torc, but I needed some way to get rid of the dust.>MummiesKnew it.
>>45772>Ray CharlesKek
>>45771No, but it does limit his ability to use targeting spells. He still knows variably where everything is, but he also loses his dexterity bonus (if any).
>>45776The spices hinted it. I expected them to be Arabs though.
>>45778You absolutely deserve it
>>45774Not completely, but it does eliminate the concealment and restore dexterity bonuses n sheit. Except for Torcuil.
Hey, Snek gets +3 to initiative. Future reference. Base attack bonus 8, +3 Dex +14 roll = 25 score
>>45781... So, did Snek shoot at Tracy?
>>45778I didn't mean Tracy you retard
>>45775Ah, Okay.
"Now look at this net that I just found"
Torc summons a net to tangle his enemies
>>45781So shooting gets a dex bonus? Good to know.
>>45780Ass
>>45782No, at ray charles I guess
>>45783She crushed Trumpaladin's hand!
>Shoots at Ray CharlesThat's (you)
>>45784Okay, now I'm really fucking confused, I thought it was one of the things attacking us.
THATS WHAT I WANT SNEK TO SHOOT AT
>>45784>that's (you)No, Ray Charles was a gospel musician. Invented "soul music".
>>45785I interpreted that, don't worry.
>>45783A net? He can spend a round clearing his eyes, but he has to roll a spellcraft check to cast any spells.
>>45786>Torcuil invented soul musicI didn't know that. Interesting
>>45785He was trying to say that you were blind, but you didn't forfeit your place in the initiative line behind snek
>>45787Then I'll do eye cleaning this turn, and net next
>>45788Stevie Wonder woukd have registered better for that
>>45789How does Snek's attack go?
Snek successfully caps one of them, but doesn't slow or otherwise disturb it in its motion.
NOW its Torcuil's turn.
[10d20 = 80]A few of them have to move 5' before doing so, but all of them attack. I'm seeing 2 on Torcuil, 1 on Snek, 3 on Fae, 3 on Tracy, and the big one on Trump
>>45792No, it did damage, but these are mummies. they dgaf
You are fucked tho. Last roll is the big one. +11 for the reds, +20 for black.
I think both hit Torcuil, Snek ducks and dodges a swipe, Fae's natural armor is awesome, and I think Tracy is missed as well. Trump's AC (modified)?
What's Torcuil's fortitude save?
>>45795Base of 10 +8 light clothing type armor +8 Heavy Armor +4 ring of force shield +5 Bracers
AC of 35
>>45796Uh +5
[whimpering wizard noises]
>>45797Yeah, he's fine. I forgot to add the modifier for Divine Power, but that only gives +3 cuz strength
Do the bracers help Torc at all?
And what does the fuzzy spooder ring do again?
>>45798Don't you have a Constitution bonus?
>>45803>>45805He gets a +1 constitution bonus
[1d6+10 = 16]
I keep putting 1d, sorry.
>>45805>+1OH I HAVE THE ARMOR SKIN FEAT
>>45810You need Fortitude, m8...
Just wait and see.
[1d20+15 = 17]Pretty much everyone missed, although the big one gets another attack on Trump. Meanwhile Torcuil is quietly beaten in the corner.
>>45810The what now?
Nevermind. Fae then Trump, then Tracy.
[3d20 = 41]>>45815Pounce on large evil cleric mummy thing
Modifiers are +20 +18 +18
[1d20+2 = 19]
Trump, do you have and ranks in knowledge religion?
Pls roll to know what happens when mummies touch you.
Tracy had 2 last I checked.
Rollin' for her to realize what's up.
[4d20 = 32]>>45815Trumpaladin slashes evil cleric mummy thing in full round attack
>>45817Actually, I think I put in 5 (wanted the bonus to rebuking) but too late...
>>45816She can't reach the large one, she's got three pressing on her. She can attempt to push through, but that involves grappeling without a running start.
>>45821Alright then. She full round attacks one near her
>>45823I imagine Torcuil already knows what happens
>>45826Uh... those numbers are 23 25 32 after modifiers
>>45825My class doesn't give very many skill points and I have very few to allot. I generally go to Fae for religious knowledge
[4d4+8 = 18][2d6+6 = 14]>>45816All three attacks hit. -15 for damage reduction
>>45827Just roll, so you know what mummies do.
>>45824Really? I hadn't noticed>>45825Yeah, he's a Theurge too. He needs that religion knowledge.
That brings up another question for me. At lvl 2 a theurge has a +2 will save, and a sorcerer +9 at lvl 15. Does this stack?
>>45828Can Tracy make a strike with her chain because of her Opportunist ability?
>>45828After Improved Natural weapons feat Fae's Damage roll is 3d6+7 for bite and 4d6+7 when both claw attacks land
>>45829Rolling because he said so
>>45830I think it does
>>45830No. Its horribly complex. Its based on the order of level progression. A 10th level fighter who multies and gets 2 levels in cleric would add the bonuses at level 11/12 cleric.
>>45833My interpretation of damage
[4d6-8 = 4]
Modifier to compensate for damage reduction.
>>45834>complexThen I never asked uniil later
K. Fae treats one of the mummies like a cat toy. Trump is going at the Big one. Fug, what's Trump's modified attack again? He's gotta beat a 35.
[1d20 = 5]>>45839That's cuz trump only rolled for one of the 2 claw attacks. Tracy hasn't taken her attack of opportunity yet.
>>45840I thought the other guy was defeated by a 30 and Trump had 35? Eh, it's +29 +24 +19 +14 when there's no special modifiers
>>45841I'll take the AoO after he lands a hit on the big one.
[1d20 = 2]>>45844Sweet Roll
>lost both armsTracy makes her AoO to finish the big one with her chain if he doesn't kaput.
>>45850Unless losing both arms left him helpless..
Either way, he's taken care of.
>>45848One of 'em is hanging from a piece of leathery flesh, but yeah, pretty much.
Okay, so one of the attacks does triple damage and the other does max damage (so 10). Also, the 19 does double damage.
[3d10 = 10]
[1d100 = 42]
Also, the big one rolls on the fumble table.
>>45857Is the big one still alive?
>>45858She'd be able to tell with her deathwatch.
If not, attack the nearest one.
The big one was knocked from its feet and is now prone, flailing its nub and its floppy arm.
>>45858Yes
[3d20 = 45]>>45860Can she deliver a coup-de-grace?
Attacking the big one.
>>45860"Take that Eugene v Debs, or whoever you are. Fucking ancient leftist and your undead socialist philosophy"
>>45861Three of them are surrounding you and can hit you
>>45861No, its not helpless, its just pitiful. It can't attack, and technically it climb to its feet even.
>>45864Did that roll finish it off?
>>45861No, but its pretty fucked up. Alright, back to Snek, then Torcuil.
>>45867Will the biggy be unable to attack next turn?
Okay, i gtg so I'll lay out Snek and Torc's next turn
Snek shoots the mummy attacking Torc [1d20+11 = 27]
Torc summons the Pepe Army
>>45868>flails helplessly>>45869Capped.com
>>45869A bunch of pepes run up from behind Torcuil and start jumping on the two mummies immediately threatening him.
>>45872>>45873I gotta leave for like an hour
>>45875Uh... should Trump cast a Break enchantment on Torcuil next round?
>>45876I think he made the fortitude save, although Trumpaladin has no way of knowing that.. Either way, go to assist him next round. The big mummy isn't doing anything while he's on the ground in pieces.
>>45878Actually, idk if he made the fortitude save,..
>>45878Actually, Mummy's rot has an incubation period of one minute, so we have time before he's in real danger
>You're being a metafaggotThis is true. Trumpaladin's instinct would be to assume that what-ever the fuck happened to Torcuil will paralyze him temporarily and that it can be addressed after there is no longer the constant danger of the other 3 people (and one snek I guess) being hit. His next move would be to kill the Mummies targeting Fae, or maybe Tracy (probably not Tracy... He has a mild fear of horses after this)
He would ask Fae about such things, since he assumes Fae has great religious knowledge
>>45879I'm not sure, I just assumed GM was rolling for constitution drain earlier
>>45880Just make a knowledge check to know about Mummy Rot. It should be a basic question (DC 15) for a Paladin.
>>45879Actually, it looks like Torcuil did save on at least one curse
>>45882Not if they were advanced.
>>45881>shouldKitty Kleric Knows
>>45883I think the mummies were only rated as having +11 attacks which is the base for a mummy. The big one had a number of levels in Cleric or possibly anti-paladin, so he was advanced
I can't say I'm sure that he wasn't hit by a second curse though
>>45884Then roll for her
How many levels in Cleric does she have?
>>45885Only two from advancement, although for the purposes of base attack bonus and saves, the additional 8 hit die are considered as Cleric. Maybe the entire mount is reinterpreted as a cleric, the rules are not clear, although she has better base attack if her 9 magical beast points are not reinterpreted. As for ranks in knowledge, I don't think she has any except maybe a tiny number from her two cleric levels, it's more of just a special feature of the character that she has a bizarrely high knowledge of religion (prophecies thus far), the mechanics faction, and a few other areas of knowledge
>>45886So then, she'd have a max of 5 ranks in Knowledge Religion (same as Tracy).
I think Tracy roll back then would've succeeded, but better just roll for her, so she recognizes the curse.
>>45887Muh meme Kleric Kitty Knowledge though. Max ranks
>>45889Infernius insulted Elway when he refused to acknowledge trips come from Elway
[1d20 = 13]>>45891But she's a celestial from the realm of Football!
Fine, rolling
>>45892>Not Elway >>45893Do Paladin's Mounts count as celestials? I know they come from the celestial plane, but the template isn't listed on their page.
>>45893Looks good enough to know that mummies turn you to fucking sand when they touch you.
>>45894They are not celestials for the purpose of damage reduction and all that other crap celestials get, but I think they they are celestials in the sense of being sourced from and residing on the celestial plane. They are "magic beasts" but also whatever the hell the base animal is, plus the bonus hit die which is cleric for most purposes
>>45895 >>45896Yeah, that's what I thought. I took that was the biggest difference between a Paladin's Mount and a BG's Fiendish Servant. Paladin Mount get's other great powers though, and higher buffs than the FS.
>>45897On top of that, the Paladin gets a new horse in a month if it does, while the BG can't summon another fiend for more than a year if his dies. The benefit to the FS is that it's buffs are calculated by character level, not class level, to acciomodate the Prestige class.
>>45901That's interesting. I wonde of it's possible to have both a fiendish servant
and a familiar or special animal companion.
One thing that bothers me is that an Epic Paladin or Divine Emissary can gain additional Hit Die, strength, and intelligence for their special mount at the 25th character level, but it seems that there is a gap between the 20th level and the 25th where there should be an advancement
[7d20 = 71]
Alright. Snek, 3 Fae, 1 Trump, 2 Tracy, +11 modified
>>45903Looks like Fae and Trump did not get hit
[3d20 = 27]>>45904Let's put Fae's round on a full round attack against the Mummy she attacked the round before
Actually, now that I look at it, the reason why an FS doesn't get the same Natural Armor bonus is probably because of the DR it gets naturally.
>>45902Well, the rules for Familiars say that if you get a familiar in another class, you can only have one at a time. It'd be the GM/DM's discretion to allow it. It's a poor choice to spread your character so thin just to get two buffed animals though.
> there is a gap between the 20th level and the 25th where there should be an advancementThere is no way you could be a Divine Emissary before lvl 25 without bending the rules.
>>45903I
think Tracy just narrowly avoids being hit.
[2d6+4 = 16][2d6+3 = 6][3d6+7 = 18]>>45905Damn Fae is tough. If the mummy has the AC of normal mummy then even the 3 landed thanks to the multi-attack feat. Subtract like 15 from the total for damage reduction
>>45906I know right?
>>45908She really shouldn't, but I don't feel like rule cucking you during a battle
[1d6+10 = 13]Snek takes a hit, and the grappled mummies get their hands on one of the pepes each and pull them apart.
>>45911Kind of what I was thinking. The score was 26
>>45912She has +4 Dex, +13 Natural, +3 deflection (bracers)...
... Well fug.. Can I roll Reflex for Improved Evasion?
>>45912Where is Infernuis amd thez?
>>45913She does not fucking have 13 natural armor. Stop making that shit up
>>45915+3 (Warpony), +10 (Pali Mount buff).
>>45914They're in the other hallway, absolutely wiping the floor with a trio of wraiths. Like, don't even bother rolling.
>>45913No, but you can roll a fortitude save.
>>45916*sighs*
First off, she's a My Little Pony, not a war pony. Second, a warpony only has +2 natural armor. Thirdly, she doesn't get pali natural armor buff in any pony or intermediate form. That was never part of the arrangement. A Lawful Good god would not agree to that, because she's Neutral Evil, and would doubtlessly use that natural armor for evil ends, whereas if she's mounted she's hopefully at least well observed
[1d20+12 = 32]>>45917Well, fug...
Rolling Fortitude Save.
>>45918You're right only +2 natural.
>>45919Well shit. Moving on. Fae continues to nom nom and kicky kicky the mummy to extinction, Trump's turn nao, then Tracy, then Snek and Torcuil.
[4d20 = 51]>>45921Trump slashes into the Mummy that has made contact with him
+29 +24 +19 +14
>>45922Trump gets a cleave strike as this one falls at his feet.
Otherwise, Snek and Torcuil are up.
>>45923Neat! Cleave into one attacking Fae
\r
>>45925>>45917What did i miss i cant see the last 200 posts
>>45926Trump, Tracy, Torcuil and Fae are brawling with a bunch of mummies.
[1d20 = 17]>>45923Uh, previous effort at dice roll was a 3 which means it fails to land if calculated by the last attack base, but would hit if calculated by any of his other attacks in a round (just barely with a third attack, exactly equaling the AC)
>>45926Trump's hand got crushed, and then we got abushed by mummies
>>45928Its based on the previous attack's bonus, so miss. Tracy?
[3d20 = 26]>>45930Her turn?
Slash-out at the Mummy who attacked her, with her sword.
GM, I know Torc can use clerical spells but of what level?
[4d6+5 = 27]>>45935Eh, I figured but felt like clairifying
Snek shot
[1d20+11 = 30]Torc casts mage's sword on closest mummy
>>45918>A Lawful Good god would not agree to thatDidn't you Baptise her just a week ago? That's a good as making her a member of the church, and he didn't object to that.
>>45940Wat? Infernius stahp, I'm fine.
>>45941Also, I'm starting to suspect that Elway might be a Chaotic Good deity.
Did you ask him what his alignment was?
>>45941We'll negotiate her haxx later
The biggest comment about Tracy was a worry about dander>>45943I'd rather not
7 Mummies remain, and its Snek and Torcuil's turn
>>45944>I'd rather notWhy? Are you afraid of the answer you might get?
I'm afraid, a little... >>45947Do
you want to get trolled by a mod god?
>>45950It's always fun when Elwaymod posts.
No rush though.
