Minor curiosity: I haven't looked at group 1's adventure yet (might if I get bored), but I was wondering if our two groups are adventuring in the same world simultaneously or are separated for whatever reason. Namely, will we ever round a corner and run into our opposite adventuring party ?

[Golnor]

That would be fun. Of course, it could be that after some people quit (you know it will happen) the two groups will get merged together.

[Gaijin]

Group 1 appears to be in the city that group two is headed towards. That's just my speculation though. If that's the case, they don't appear to be leaving the town yet, so we might encounter them there.

[Barlycorn]

You are in the same world and are leaving the same town on the saame day. You may or may not run into them but if we ever get low on players than I would probably find a way to combine them.

[Gaijin]

It feels cleaner and more efficient to do skill rolls in a TT, I hope it's ok that I did that instead of rolling it in the mechanics thread.

[Barlycorn]

absolutely. Most of the time, I prefer it that way.

These people are dead, deceased, they have ceased to be...

Not to sound (naggy? nagish?) like a person to nags a lot, but I still haven't got a yea or nay on my want to use a magus variant.

To make it easy for you, here's a quick summary of the differences:
1. The magus gains a few less points in his arcane pool (1/3 lvl + int instead of 1/2 lvl + int)
2. The magus does not get a 3rd level Magus Arcana. Instead, he gets a one handed +1 magic slashing weapon known as a black blade (bastard sword for Vikof). This weapon is intelligent and has it's own goals, and they (the blades) are usually secretive about said goals. The weapon gets stronger as the magus gains levels (+2 at level 5, +3 at 9, etc) and it has an interesting assortment of special abilities (which it gains more of as the magus levels).
3. The magus cannot get a familiar of any kind, in any way (the blade functions as a familiar-ish being).

The one thing about this variant is that until 3rd level, it is basically identical to a normal magus. I know that you (barlycorn) said that you haven't looked into it yet, but I wanna know what you decided (last half of that sentence should be read in a whiny voice for full effect).

Here's another link to the srd page so you don't have to look for it.

Golnor, I don't think that will be a problem. It also gives me potential plot hooks. I should probably ask Avelestar first (I probably already have and I forgot), so I am saying yes unless he tells me it is completely broken. I figure I can always give the other characters something if it looks like the balence is out of whackand I can potentially make your life difficult (especially at higher levels).

One note, though, I am on my phone so I am not going to check right now but is a bastard sword considered a one handed weapon in Pathfinder? The description of the black blade says it has to be one handed.


By the way, the audit is just about over, I think. My posting should return soon, thanks again for your patience.

[Golnor]

checking srd . . .

okay! If you use it two-handed, it's a martial weapon. If you use it one-handed, it's exotic. And I got the exotic weapon proficiency feat for bastard sword.

No movement for Group 2 in four days. Who are we waiting on?

[Golnor]

I hope it's not me...

I don't think it is.
