Just a heads-up. Thursday is Thanksgiving and I'm taking part of tomorrow off as well, so my net presence will be spotty at best until Monday. I'll try to check in once or twice over the week-end.

My group never does it, but I recently introduced an NPC (cohort of one of the PCs) who has Improved Trip. In the last combat he used it a lot. They were fighting wights with class levels that had really good armor. The NPC had no prayer of hitting in combat, but the wights have a lousy touch...

First of all, I forgot to post the details of Sirus's successful Intimidate check: Intimidate roll 12+10+4(size)=26, Bugbear's resistance roll 9+3=12. One of the remaining Bugbears runs for it outright. Bugbears roll initiative and they're speedy! Donnybrook 19+4-1(Enlarged) = 23 Bugbears =...

Charging is a full-round action, unless you are for some reason restricted to a Standard action (as in a surprise round), in which case you can charge as a standard action, but only out to your regular move distance. To the best of my knowledge, this is not a house rule. Maybe the rule is...

Thanksgiving Holiday in the U.S. Just a heads-up for the holiday. Thursday is Thanksgiving here in the US and I have both Thursday and Friday off work. In fact, I'm taking Wednesday afternoon, as well. I'll post the current round this afternoon, but after that I don't know when I'll post...

The fact that you get your full BAB with all the rays is a good point. That makes it more reasonable to think you only get the bonus damage once. The quote Shin Okada posted makes it clear that this is the rule, but the full BAB on all the attacks makes it "feel right" to me as well. Thanks.

Actually I'm not sure about this. For spells that require only a single attack roll, but have multiple missiles (can't think of an example right off) I think damage would apply only to the first. But with Scorching Ray you have to roll for every ray. I believe that means you get to apply...

I think it's a great idea. Consider it yoinked. My group is about to have several months of down-time and I will probably give them all the option of taking the local language and/or a rank or two in Knowledge(Local) for the area.

I'd just like to point out that I haven't missed a week and you guys are both still beating me. Don't feel too bad. :)

Sadly, Filene's is on borrowed time. They were recently acquired by a Faceless Conglomerate(TM) and the Filene's name will be eliminated. This may be your last outing to the Basement. :(

I'm afraid I have to dispute my colleague's erudite theory. The island where dread Cthulhu lies dreaming has already graced our television screen and driven those poor wretches who stumbled upon it stark, raving mad. ...a three hour cruise...a three hour cruise...

You are a brave, brave person. There is no way on God's green Earth that I would go near Filene's Basement the day after Thanksgiving. :) We're hosting my wife's parents (who live in the same town) and a friend of ours. My family is all in Wisconsin and we won't be seeing them this year. :(...

Well another decent week for me. Of course, I think it gets easier as you get farther into the season and the team records really start to reflect how good they are. Oh yeah, almost forgot: GAAAAH! Stupid Packers! Make me stay up until Midnight and STILL lose. Grrrr! There. Now I feel...

For anyone who cares, I ordered the book, which they said would ship in one day. Three days later it had not yet shipped, and now they have informed me that they are out of stock and have cancelled my order. This is annoying, but at least they cancelled the order and let me know instead of...

Initiatives: Donnybrook 19+4-1(Enlarged) = 23 Lucas 11+7 = 18 Ery 4+4 = 8 Girble 2+5 = 7 Sirius 3+1-1(Enlarged) = 3 Donnybrook, still immense from the effects of Lucas's spell, draws back his bow and fires two arrows at once around the equally big Sirius. Unfortunately, the trick shot seems...

Krikit clears his throat. "Well, while they check their sources, perhaps the rest of us can have a look around," he says wryly. "But first..." He mutters under his breath and passes his hands over his own chest. There is a brief flare of pale green which is quickly gone. "All right, I'm...

Quiet before the storm Everyone tries to descend the ladder as quietly as possible, with mixed results. As far as Ery can tell, though, none of the bugbears hears anything as they continue to discuss something among themselves. Girble quickly begins prayers to Yondalla, asking her to bless...

Actually you get a randomly-determined number of rounds between 1 and 6 before one of the bugbears spots you. I'll do an action post this afternoon (have to run to a meeting right now) and you'll find out how many you actually get. :)

Gesturing toward Eclaiyan, Krikit says, "Our friend here is leading the way."

Ok, well I think you should just use your best judgement. Given the nature of PbP, we could take a week to make this decision. Just start laying down the divine mojo! :)
