OOC Sword of Valor, Wrath of the Righteous AP by MLeibrock and Scotley

[Queenie]

It's in my pocket! But yes, no powers yet.
I have been wondering, can I use it as if it was a normal animal? Like for example, could it bite, even if it does no damage? I'd like to start using it more for fun.

 

[Leif]

Where'd that Tasmanian Devil come from?? When I saw the bald head I thought it was Keva, but dannng!

 

[Leif]

See, I don't even think of that as metagaming - it's just tactics, to get the jump on folks, that's reflected in the mechanics. Now, if I'd known their FF vs Normal AC and used that to make my decision, I'd have called that metagaming

Split hairs much do you?

(You know we love you, we just like to pick on you)

 

[Shayuri]

Still need to know how long it takes to try to unlock a door...

I guess now that I'm home I could just look it up. Hee hee.

 

[Kaodi]

I guess I will pass on the surge and let the cultists do their thing then.

I have slight curiosity about this too.... :-o

Standard Action

Using a skill, like picking a lock, is "usually" one standard action, which means that ordinarily it can be accomplished in one round. (Unless the GM rules that it takes longer to pick his super-duper artifact lock, in which case said GM sets the time required.)

See, PATHFINDER, p. 182-186.

 

[Shayuri]

Actually, it turns out opening a lock with Disable Device is a full round action, according to the pfsrd.

So not TOO bad. Hang in there, Meliara.

Hey, sorry for the delay, this is correct.

It isn't so much that you did it as how you said it that made me razz you. Had you said Keva wants to try and take them down before they know what is happening I would not have said anything. But when you start talking in mechanical terms that smacks of meta-gaming. I realize at the end of the day it amounts to the same thing, but as I've said previously I want you guys to be able to immerse in the moment and worry less about the mechanics. I hope you'll all express those thing in character as much as possible, but ultimately do it the way that makes you happy.
