Discussion of Scotley's Pathfinder game (closed)

[mleibrock]

Okay, we are getting closer. Looks like our Halfling, our Half-Orc and one of our Half-Elves are ready to go. Still need a connection to Professor Lorrimor from Lou, a background with connection to the Professor from JA and a character from Rhun.

Nice background on the Oracle. It really captures the grim horror of the setting, but I can't see all of it on the printout you posted. Any chance you could copy and paste the rest of it here?

Yea, I guess I was too long winded for hero lab. I noticed it too and meant to attach the full history after the spells, is it not showing up?

 

[Scotley]

Ah, found it. I guess I didn't scroll down far enough to see it. The last page of spells is mostly blank, so I guess I took it for the end. Good stuff.

Power Grabbing Question

Thanks mike



Okay here is a power grabbing question as i am unsure if i am understanding it correctly. As an infrit i get a natural +2 charisma which is 19. Elemental affinty has the following description

Sorcerers of this race with the elemental (fire) bloodline treat their Charisma
score as 2 points higher for all sorcerer spells and class abilities. Spellcasters
with the Fire domain use their domain powers and spells at +1 caster level.

Does this mean for the number of bonus spells etc that are charisma based that it moves to 21...if so how do i enter it on my sheet...

Hope this makes sense.

2 cents worth from the peanut gallery

Boy, that's a tough call, JA. It seems pretty clear that it means that all ability-score dependent aspects of any particular spell that he casts would be treated as if he had Cha 21, but as far as the number of bonus spells, that would seem to me to be computed from his actual charisma. But maybe Scotley sees it differently?

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

JA, my reading is that the 'treating CHA as 2 points higher' does not grant extra bonus spells. This is also the read of LoneWolf, and HeroLabs is set to grant the correct number of spells already. For everything other than things Scotley has house ruled to be different from the Core Rules, HeroLabs will already be correct. (There are some bugs, of course, but LoneWolf is typically good about taking care of them pretty quickly).

The number of spells your character will be 'allowed' to choose in HeroLabs is correct (unless, of course, Scotley rules otherwise).

I agree with Leif and Mowgli that it is the effects of spells and spell-like abilities that are treated as if the Cha were 2 points higher. It could be better worded.

JA, one of the coolest things about this ability is that it increases the DC to resist all of your Charisma-based spells/powers by +1 over what it would ordinarily be.
