[Conan/Call of Cthulhu d20]Shadow over Stygia Recruiting

Prak · Post by **Prak** » Fri Feb 28, 2014 7:59 am

Given that we're not using xp, how would I make a spell permanent? never mind, just realized it requires a feat I don't qualify for anyway.

Edit: also, I think I screwed up when I took the Death Touch and Awful Rite of the Werebeast spells, since apparently my Magic Attack Bonus is not high enough, unless I'm actually able to use my total Magic Attack Modifier. Taking a quick look, I couldn't find anything in the sorcery chapter saying either way.

I had been going with prereqs. referring to base MAB, since that's pretty standard, but would be interested if it were to refer to total modifier. If that were the case my dude could snag Dread Serpent this level. If Taotie ends up taking scholar for Serpent Magic I imagine some sort of instruction/initiation while trying to decipher his tattoos could be cool. Maybe if Neb. teaches Taotie the Animal Ally spell the snake could be generated from Unseen Serpents, which could be fairly horrific.

I'll have the ritual to Ishiti written up presently.

Hmm. I missed it when it came up, so I'm inclined to allow total BAB to meet prerequisites...does anybody have an objection with that?

I'm fine with it.

Isandro will just be taking another level of Soldier in any event.

Unexpected trip to FLorida, so slow-to-no posting this weekend. Take the time to update your characters, post any questions, etc.

Taotie learning serpent sorcery from Neb would be convenient. From what I understand I'd be able to learn any spell I meet the requirements for right?

Okay.

Kamoses is updated.

Nebuchadnezzar · Post by **Nebuchadnezzar** » Thu Mar 06, 2014 10:06 pm

OK, leveled in scholar. With all that Corruption gained from the staring contest with the lamia my dude's got a +25 on Intimidate, so I'm looking forward to browbeating someone.

Prak · Post by **Prak** » Fri Mar 07, 2014 2:21 am

Oh, shit, corruption adds to intimidate?

Sorry for my delay in leveling up I should have Velasco updated by tomorrow afternoon.

Kurama314 · Post by **Kurama314** » Tue Mar 11, 2014 4:45 pm

Okay, Velasco is finally updated.
I took another level in Pirate. I also cleared up a few clerical errors, namely I forgot to update my reflex save last time I leveled and I've now listed the bonuses derived from Knowledge(Fencing: Zingaran School) (p. 81-82 in Argos and Zingara).

We'll assume (unless they say otherwise) that Karlus and Isandro go with the rest of the group.

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Mon Mar 17, 2014 7:41 pm

So I think at this point we're just waiting to see if Karlus and Velasco are ready to go hunting?

Prak · Post by **Prak** » Mon Mar 17, 2014 8:33 pm

Well, less go hunting, more "kill animals that walk up to them and lay down, neck exposed."

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Tue Mar 18, 2014 10:05 am

Well, whenever you're ready cast the spell and tell me what critter you're going for.

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Wed Mar 19, 2014 10:07 pm

No serpopods in range; please dial another animal and try again.

Hyena?

Hey, you wanted hyenas...

Players?

OgreBattle · Post by **OgreBattle** » Sun Mar 30, 2014 3:39 pm

So are we going to go to the guy who was going to turn us into gold, or look for a trail or what.

That Priest of Ibis is going to eventually show up again.

Prak · Post by **Prak** » Sun Mar 30, 2014 7:28 pm

I thought we were going to try to find the other half of the book.
