The Romance of the River Kingdoms

[Walking Dad]

...

Ape has (reasonable) Spellcraft now, as does Annika. Now that we are using PF you *can* identify items with just this and detect magic, the main advantage of identify is a +10 bonus to the check.

WD: By my reckoning Ape's spells per day should be 6/5/4 - you get the standard 4th level druid allotment (5/3/2), +1 per level (to compensate for spontaneous SNA, basically), plus Wisdom bonus spells.

Also you need to select one more 1st and 2nd level spell. Spells Known should be 6/3/1 but you get SNA as a bonus, plus (due to a long chain of replacement abilities!) you get the spirit domain spells as bonus.

Otherwise, I think those who have levelled and PF'ed confused so far look good. Some interesting possibilities.

As for swapping out Lesser Transfer Wounds, that would leave you with very little healing ability. Didn't WD want a fast healing spell uptopic, though? I'd grant that.

Oh, Ape is better than I thought

I will definitely choose Lesser Vigor as level 1 spell. Can I take Flamig sphere as level 2 spell, but changed to electricity damage?
(Would call it 'Ball Lightning')

 

[Shayuri]

True on the healing ability.

And oddly, Transfer Wounds kind of fits my notion of Annika. A hint of that 'renewal' aspect that is otherwise understated...

 

[Dr Simon]

Strawhat - looks good, I'll write you into the IC thread shortly.

WD - yes to "ball lightning"

Shayuri - true, it does fit with the "phoenix" idea of Annika.

 

[Walking Dad]

As for whether the extra damage from either sapphire nightmare blade or Focussed Strike would affect an undead, I'm going to say that it does. It's not precision damage (ie sneak attack) as such, more putting your own energy into to attack.

Undead are no longer automatically immune against percision damage... but incorporeal ones are.

 

[Dr Simon]

Oh yeah, keep forgetting to check Pathfinder for differences!

 

[Theroc]

Um... hi guys. Sorry about my vanishing act before. How's the game going?

 

[Dr Simon]

Theroc, good to have you back!

You've not missed much, things have been trundling along slow and steady. The group tracked the rest of the paper lantern gang to an underground cistern and are busy finishing them off. I'm sure it wouldn't be too much of stretch of Shakou were to arrive in pursuit.

That said, I'm away for a week , but feel free to catch up IC.

 

[Theroc]

Haha, Shakou got separated and skulked about, and later tracked the party down? Sounds good to me. Will have to doublecheck if Shakou was in human or mini-tiger form last I posted.

 

[Theroc]

I think I got confused. Was I just supposed to pick up right away, or were you going to tell me when to enter, Simon? I've been waiting for an 'invitation' it seems. Did I get the wrong idea?

 

[Dr Simon]

Don't worry, I got confused too. A move of offices has discombobulated my games a bit. I'll bring you back into the IC. Shakou can be in either of her forms, I assume the tiger form is more usual for when action is likely.
