Alright, so, let's use all these puppies up. +1 Melee, and, say, +1 Acrobatics. This puts me at 30/43 HP and 7/10 STA. Inventory is updated. By the way, I was told there was 4 Aerolyzers and 8 Poisons extra. I'll take half of each 'cause I won't need 'em all; maybe Creidne can take the rest?

Perks:

Click to reveal..

Lacewing Flight: Your wings allow you to glide short distances or briefly propel yourself up through the air, giving you a +4 bonus on checks to jump, break a fall or perform other feats of physical prowess that involve being airborne. You also receive a +1 bonus on Arcana checks and can always make them as if trained.

Leave No One Behind: Whenever you spend Stamina on an action while an ally is at or below 0 HP, the action is treated as if you spent 1 more Stamina than you did.

Water Strider: Once per session, you may spend one Stamina point to avoid having to roll an Acrobatics or Athletics check to travel on, over or through a body of water. The skill check will be treated as if you had rolled a 19.

Spells/Techs:

Click to reveal..

Sword techniques:

Wings of Fury (1 STM): Leaps and takes wing, either flinging the character upward and attacking a low-altitude foe or hurtling over obstacles (or creatures) and slashing at a chosen enemy. After the maneuver, the character's defense is reduced for one round to recover footing. Depending on the distance involved, the technique may require more than 1 stamina to perform.

Hurricane Spin (0 STM): Lashes out at multiple targets around the character, making attacks against each one. The character takes a penalty to defense the next round equal to the number of additional targets.

Duelist's Counter (1 STM): As a minor action, targets a single enemy, focusing on countering their attacks. Provides a bonus to defenses against the target's attacks, and if the target misses with a melee attack, automatically counterattacks. However, defenses against attacks from all other enemies receive a slight penalty. This ability lasts until either the target is defeated or a counterattack is made.

Coordinated Strike (0 STM): You launch a sequence of complicated attacks, causing your opponent to focus too much on you and not enough on your allies. This attack deals less damage, but grants your allies a bonus on their next attack against the target.

Distracting Strike (1 STM): You step between an opponent and a beleaguered ally, taking the brunt of the next attack while your ally escapes. The attack deals damage normally, and the target cannot attack anyone else but you for its next turn.

Exhausting Onslaught (0 STM): Attack as normal. If an Exhausting Onslaught was made on the same target last turn, you get a bonus to hit.

Make an Example (1 STM): Attack as a standard action, then make a Composure check to intimidate all enemies who saw the attack. This check receives a bonus based on the damage you deal to the target.

Run Through (1 STM): Your weapon skewers through your target's arm, leg, or gut, and pins it against the wall or ground. The target cannot move while pinned; it must spend a standard action to attempt to escape. Make a secondary attack whenever the target attempts to escape; on a hit, the attempt fails. You cannot use your weapon for anything else while maintaining the pin, but you can make a basic attack against the target by twisting your weapon.

Knife techniques:

Palmed Weapon (0 STM): You keep a small melee or thrown weapon hidden behind hand and forearm, then attack when your opponents least expect it. You attack with a small weapon that has previously been hidden with a successful Thievery check as a minor action. The attack has bonuses to hit and damage.

Shoot from the Shadows (0 STM): You time your attacks so that your opponents cannot pinpoint their origins. Attack as normal, but make an additional Stealth check. If successful, you do not lose concealment.

Interrupting Shot (1 STM): A painful attack breaks your opponent's concentration. In addition to dealing damage, the target saves to continue its current action (if applicable); otherwise, it takes a penalty to its next action. Examples include making the target drop a heavy object, disrupt a ritual, or fail to connect on its next attack.

Hobble (1 STA): Attack as normal. On a hit, the target speed is reduced based on the severity of the attack for the rest of the encounter or until healed.

Backstory:

Click to reveal..

Bandit. Spy. Criminal. Saboteur. Assassin. Dissident. Thief. Insurrectionist. Outlaw. That was what they called Weimin Jian, and that was all they ever called him, because no one outside his band had ever put a name to his face. Until now.

He had no idea how this noblewoman had tracked him down on Ona. Neither did his companions (he ignored the request for secrecy in the letter; he shared everything with his comrades). A couple of them speculated that he was identified after the failed prison break in Port Laz.

It went without saying that he would have to leave the band for a time. After all, if one person was able to identify and track him down, more could have done the same. Their operation in Delan had gone too far to risk any threat; he would have to lay low for the next few months. He could only hope that none of the others had been identified -- they hadn't been mentioned in the letter, after all.

And if he had to leave the band for a time, why not take up this strange noblewoman's offer? After all, it would be novel to work for the establishment for once.

Next session is scheduled for Thursday January 12th if Nikki is okay with it, otherwise some other day.

Magnificent Ornk · January 1, 2012

Oh, yeah, I forgot to fill in the calender; so used to having done it during the session that I just skim it in the thread now. That day's fine by me.

Hatchling Cockatrice · January 11, 2012

reminder: session's in, uh, 31 hours from now

going to try and fix my sleep schedule between now and then so i wake up in time for it

Understated Ur-Drakon · January 12, 2012

...I really need to stop forgetting to level. Anyway, there's a new archery technique in here that is NOT yet approved. But I figure every little accuracy bonus counts.

Also, if I ever get the urge to play a character with two martial skills, a magic skill, and an alchemy skill again, someone please smack me.

Click to reveal.. (Amadan Rayton, XP-214)

AMADAN RAYTON

Pragmatic Male Human Alchemical Hunter of Liea

HEALTH: 28/29 [+1]

STAMINA: 5/10

SKILL POINTS: 000/214

Missile (Archery): 11 (66) [+1]

Magic (Transmutation): 9 (45)

Alchemy: 5 (15)

Perception: 5+1 (15)

Stealth: 5+1 (15)

Arcana: 5 (15)

Nature: 4 (10)

Acrobatics: 4 (10)

Melee (Knives): 4 (10)

Artifice: 4 (10) [+1]

Athletics: 2 (3)

HUMAN SURVIVAL (RACIAL) - You receive a +1 bonus to Perception checks, and also to STEALTH. You can make checks to Stealth, Athletics or Acrobatics as if trained.

LIEA'S BLESSING (PERK) - In the Bloodmarsh, whilst fighting the cultists of Yunelias, Amadan inadvertently forged a deeper connection with Liea. All fire-based attacks gain a +2 bonus to accuracy.

NEGATIVE ANIMAL MAGNETISM (WEAKNESS) - Animals are inherently drawn to Amadan, mainly for the express purpose of trying to maul him. In combat, animals have an elevated chance of targeting Amadan, and animals that cross Amadan's path, whether wild or domesticated, have a small chance of going inexplicably hostile and attacking Amadan on sight.

Click to reveal.. (Transmutational Spells (5+2))

Energetic Arrow (MAct-or-1STM; 1Arrow): Charges an arrow with energy on launch, which effects the way it behaves. Requires a Move-Action or 1STM to cast, and will always consume 1 arrow.

-Fire Arrow: Can burn through armor or hard surfaces that normal arrows can't, partially bypassing DR and armor. Can easily ignite flammable substances and materials.

-Light Arrow: Partially transmutes the arrow into a bolt of light; the arrow flies faster and further, providing an accuracy and range bonus, and does increased damage to undead and incorporeal beings. Also makes a good signaling arrow.

-Electric Arrow: Electrocutes whatever it impacts, causing a penalty to actions and potentially stunning the target. Can also send an electrical jolt into liquids or metals.

-Impact Arrow: Strikes with abnormal force and momentum, doing additional damage and knocking the target back or down.

Ameliorate: Seamlessly mends a damaged or broken object, or heals a wounded being. Requires being adjacent to the target. Casting on a creature costs 1STM.

Hunter's Jump: Teleports the caster and anything he's carrying to a location within his Line of Sight. Anything longer than a short hop requires stamina, the amount depending on distance and any heavy loads the caster is carrying.

Detrimentum: Disintegrates a targeted creature or object.

Pyrokinesis: Takes control of fire, bending it to the caster's will. The caster can move, intensify, shape, or put out targeted flames. Bigger and more complicated tasks cost stamina, and the more fire that's available for the caster to use, the greater the chance of success. Magical flames are harder to manipulate than mundane ones, and are more likely to cost stamina.

Basilisk's Gaze: Turns the targeted object (regardless of composition) to stone. Living (or unliving) creatures require 1 stamina to petrify and get a save versus the effect; after the spell elapses, the target reverts to its original composition unharmed. (Inactive)

Volcanic Arrow (MAct-or-1STM; 3Arrows): This powerful arrow is actually composed of 3; when fired, the arrows are merged into a massive obsidian bolt with a compressed magma core. The arrow itself does elevated damage to the target, but upon impact, the core detonates into a spray of pyroclastic material, burning and igniting/melting everything with a moderate AoE (including whatever was hit by the arrow itself).

Wavefracture (EPIC 2STM): This spell disintegrates everything within a large cone of the caster. Assuming a successful cast, any mundane material or objects caught in the fracture wave is completely vaporized; warded or magical objects are considerably more resistant, but may also be disintegrated. Living (or necromantic) beings caught in the beam take damage and, if killed, have their bodies and equipment reduced to component atoms. The range and width of the beam can be increased at the cost of additional stamina.

Click to reveal.. (Archery Techniques (6))

Shoot From the Shadows: You time your attacks so that your opponents cannot pinpoint their origins. Attack as normal, but make an additional Stealth check. If successful, you do not lose concealment.

Arterial Break (1STM): An attack at a -2 penalty that attempts to strike and sever a major blood vessel within the target. If successful, the target will bleed, taking minor damage each round until the wound is healed or treated. Note that this technique only works if the target actually needs blood of some sort and the attacker has some idea of where to strike. (Particularly nasty if coupled with Bloodlet Toxin)

Sniper's Garrote (1STM): Takes careful aim and fires a shot at the target's throat. A successful hit will puncture the windpipe, preventing or strongly inhibiting the victim from casting spells, speaking, or using breath weapons until the arrow is removed and the wound healed. Useful for putting a spellcaster out of action or preventing a foe from sounding an alarm. Requires that the creature has a throat or similar portion of anatomy, and inflicts a -4 penalty to hit due to the shot's difficulty.

Take Aim (1STM): Spends a full round observing a target and setting up a shot at its vitals; Amadan may not move, attack or use items during the round he spends taking aim. If he fires at his target in the following round, his attack has a bonus to hit and inflicts triple damage.

Truefire (FRAct-or-1STM): Utilizes skills, intuition, and perceptive abilities, enabling one to lock onto and shoot a specified target even if the character (or player) can't tell where the target is located, without taking concealment penalties. The character still needs to have a reasonably clear shot, and firing with someone downrange increases friendly fire risk.

Shooter's Stance (MAct): The archer holds their current position and remains steady; so long as the character does not move from that spot, they gain a bonus to missile accuracy and can inflict additional damage on stronger rolls. However, remaining still also makes the character an easier target, causing their defense to drop until they break the stance.

Click to reveal.. (Knife Techniques (2))

Flick Step: Does a quick slash or jab at a sensitive area with a melee weapon; if it connects, it briefly staggers the opponent, enabling the character to disengage and move away that turn without provoking an AoO.

Disarm: Knocks an enemy's weapon out of its grasp. Does no damage. Dictating where it goes requires a strong roll/stamina.

Click to reveal.. (Alchemical Recipes)

PRIMARY RECIPES (1 REAGENT)

Healing Tonic (Water) – Heals 6 HP when drunk.

Hawkeye Brew (Air) – A lightweight and simple brew that temporarily improves one's eyesight, providing a +3 Perception and an ancillary +1 Missile Weapons for 30 minutes.

Alchemical Fire (Fire) – Catches fire when exposed to air.

Stamina Potion (Earth) – Recovers 3 STM.

Aerolyzer (Air) – A clear liquid that, when mixed with a potion, poison, or other liquid, renders it aerosol. This reduces its potency, but enables the effect to be spread across a moderate area-of-effect. Note that this does not work on all potions (and is just a generally bad idea with others).

SECONDARY RECIPES (2 REAGENTS)

Kath Inhibitor (Earth + Fire) – The smoky-clear Kath Inhibitor is a simple and effective antidote, capable of curing a wide variety of mild-to-moderate poisons and toxins, and inhibiting the effects of stronger toxins. If you are pregnant or may become pregnant, contact a certified healer before taking.

Potion of Defensive Insight (Air + Earth) - This thin grey brew enhances the imbiber's self-preservation instincts and reflexes, providing a +2 bonus to physical/magical defenses and saves. While active, if the imbiber takes a hit that would knock him to-or-below 0 HP, this potion enables the character to partially avoid the hit, stablizing at 1 HP. This also terminates the potion's effects. Side-effects include mild paranoia and a sense of impending doom.

Paralytic (Air + Fire) - This slimy violet poison causes the victim's muscles to freeze up, forcing a save. If the victim passes, it takes a penalty to-act for a short time. If the victim fails, they're paralyzed for a few rounds. Can be imbibed or absorbed through an open wound.

Bloodlet Toxin (Fire + Water) - This poison acts as an anticoagulant, causing even minor wounds to bleed profusely. Those affected by this poison take more damage from any attack or harm that draws blood until the toxin is purged.

Primal Philter (Earth + Fire) – This red translucent potion shuts down the higher functions of the mind and taps into the imbiber's primal instincts; the drinker gains large bonuses to fighting unarmed or with natural weapons (teeth, claws, breath) and small bonuses to all other forms of mundane combat. However, until the potion wears off, spellcasting, complex combat techniques, composure, and anything beyond basic knowledge all take heavy penalties. The effects last 30 minutes.

TERTIARY RECIPES (3 REAGENTS)

Sunder Mist (Air + Fire + Water) – This potent brown potion turns into mist on contact with air, eroding and sundering most woods and metals within a 6-space radius of where the potion was opened (or thrown). Magical items and objects are immune to the mist's effects.

Explosive (Air + Earth + Fire) - A thick greasy paste that explodes when struck violently, producing little heat but immense concussive force.

Aural Ether (Air + Earth + Water) – This potion brings the drinker in tune with the magical world. They can more easily spot the presence of magic, and can detect and identify the magical auras of items, enchanted areas, and creatures for the time the potion is in effect. Lasts roughly 30 minutes.

Syrup of Stickiness (Earth + Fire + Water) – This sticky syrup can either be ingested or applied to objects. When ingested, it causes the imbiber to become incredibly sticky, enabling them to keep a far stronger hold on objects and creatures, and improve their ability at climbing, keeping one's balance, or any feat in which stickiness might be helpful for roughly 1 hour. When applied to an object, it causes that object to stick with incredible force to the next person who touches it. The drawbacks should be obvious, and Liea have mercy if this is combined with an Aerolyzer.

Wardwater (Earth + Fire + Water) – When drunk, provides strong protection versus magical attacks. It provides defensive and save bonuses versus magical attacks, spells, and auras. It also provides damage and effect resistance versus instant-hit spells (such as curses, scrying, and some attack spells). Lasts 15 minutes.

3x Vials of Insect Poison - An insect poison useful for repelling and killing insects. Now in small vial form for added description redundancy!

I'll also, if it's the will of the group, take whatever aerolyzer/poison Weimin doesn't.

Finally, I'll try and come up with a couple of combat techniques for the session. If anybody has any ideas, IM/PM/ITT them, because I suck at making up techniques.

Hatchling Cockatrice · January 12, 2012

yeah, effectively spending your move action to gain an accuracy bonus and a defensive penalty seems plenty balanced. amadan's technique is approved!

Easygoing Eyebeast · January 21, 2012

So I've been unsure whether to invest in melee yet another time, or to up my non-combat skills. Faced with this dilemma, I did what any sane, rational person would do: meticulously calculated the total skill point allotment of each character, and see how everyone compares, as of the previous level:

Code:

            SP in combat skills    SP in non-combat skillsLephista            133                       78Amadan              121                       93Weimin              120                       94Creidne              91                      120Lucia                78                      135

As it turns out, on average the party has spent 108.6 skill points on combat skills. Oh, and I found out something useful too! Sarachim, Lephista seems to be short one skill point.

And as for my level-up, I'll bump Composure, Streetwise, and Acrobatics (and update my inventory). I came up with a melee technique or two, if anyone wants one.
