Monday Night Pathfinder: Resurrections

Kroop was quick to split the crew and get the Celestial Kyte away.  With Sandara as captain, the Kyte made for the squib, the bodies of Kyte and Durgen brought along.  Sheena, Victaerus, and the Druid were part of the Kyte's crew.  The plan was to get the Kyte repaired, supplies and crew for the Zelbinion, and find someone to help repair the magic aboard the Zelbinion and perhaps help strengthen the defenses of the Celestial Kyte.

Arrival at the Iceflow Squib was a bad sight.  The outer walls was in shambles, the old ruins, temple, and inn were in flames, and dead bodies of townsfolk and frost giants littered the town.  An ugly gunman with a handmade musket watched from the tower as the Kyte docked.

Giffen, the Aquarvan (Crocodile Man) barbarian jumped shipped, hysterical at finding his old squib friend Rickety Hake dead by the squib dock.  Sandara grabbed Victaerus and headed to the remaining temple -- a temple of Besmara.  Inside, three priests from the other temple fought with the Besmarian priestess as they tried to take possession of the remaining temple for their own, now homeless, flocks.  Sandara got permission from the priestess to bring her crew in, ignoring the protests of the other priests.

Sandara rounded up the crew and had them carry Durgen and Kyte to the temple.  The strange gunmen watched and waited.

Kyte was brought into the temple where preparations began immediately to resurrect her.

Durgen's arrival caused a stir, the three other priests immediately protesting bring a half-giant into the temple after the town was half destroyed by a frost giant onslaught.  Guards gathered and the crew tried to push their way into the temple.  Outmanned, the Druid had Durgen's body laid down and cast upon him reincarnation.  His body disentigrated as ashes that swirled and set into a new body, a dwarven body, naked and whole, and Durgen came back to life as a dwarf.  Durgen awoke with quite the stir, accusing the druid of having shrunk him.

Kyte awoke too, and Sandara provided them both with gold and told them to get some rest.  A large chest was placed near the front of the temple, an offering to the temple.  The crew was given leave and told to meet at the Kyte in the morning.

The strange human gunman, Jerico, made his was to the barracks, chatting with a small furry hamster hidden in his coat pocket.  There he knocked on the door, talking first to a guard, and then to a shiny-armored paladin that headed up the local militia.  For his contribution in bullets from the tower during the frost giant attack, he requested payment.  He was given 100 gold, not even enough to cover his ammunition.

The next morning found Sandara ordering everyone to get to work.  Kyte and Sheena were off to visit the old Wizard's privet island.  Victaerus was off to hire crew.  The druid found his water control a good fit for helping get the Kyte into drydock.  As he watched her being built, he noticed a tree nearby the squib, and with Sandara's permission, had it installed in place of the lost main mast, alive and intact.

Kyte and Sheena found their way to the old Wizard, strange things afoot as usual.  The wizard agreed excitedly to join them to visit the Zelbinion.  Victaerus gather new crew including the strange gunman.

In his impatience, the wizard fast-forwarded time a bit to when the Kyte was fully repaired and the crew was ready to get underway.  The Celestial Kyte looked as good as new with the new living main mast and a gun deck fully stocked with cannons.

5E Starting Gold and Equipment for Higher Levels

The DMG has a rough recommendation for starting gold and equipment for higher levels, but with my groups running one-shots, we wanted to nail it down to level by level. Here's my DMG-inspired table. Generally I allow equipment to be traded in during character creation for half book value, where applicable. I also, as a GM, offer to make custom magic items for players who can't choose. A list of magical items by rarity can be found here  with stats available in the DMG. I also generally allow players to buy healing potions (2d4+2) for 50gp and greater healing potions for 250gp (4d4+4). PHB items are available at book cost at creation. I do not allow other equipment to be purchased except in game. This is generally based off the "high magic" campaign. Level Starting Gold Starting Equipment / Magic Items 1 - 160gp  OR Standard starting equipment 2 210gp Standard starting equipment 3 285gp Standard starting equipment 4 365gp Standard sta

An Analysis of Tasha's Caldron of Everything: Spells

 I am going to be evaluating "Tasha's Cauldron of Everything" for incorporation into my own games. I figured I would go ahead and record this analysis on my blog here so other folks can follow along and glean some useful information from the time I spent. I tried to find an in-depth analysis elsewhere, but at this time none so detailed as this seems to be available. You will not find any of the text in its entirety in this blog. I will be referencing the first printing of the book, so please refer to that as you read along. There are no released errata for the book at the time of writing, although there are errata from other books that affect some of this content. There are 21 spells in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything. This includes Booming Blade, Green-Flame Blade, Lightning Lure, and Sword Burst cantrips that were originally published in Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide. There are 9 spells that allow you to summon creatures of various types. Three spells are notabl

GM Tip: Changing the Effective Font Size in Roll20

I've seen this complaint a few times in roll 20:  can't adjust the font in the chat window.  Unfortunately, they haven't added controls for this yet, at least not at the level of account I have.  For me the font is just too big, but I know for a lot of people it is too small. I am using chrome to do this, but I am sure it will work in other browsers. The method basically allows to increase/decrease the size of the font/controls by about a factor of 2 easily. To increase the effective font size, zoom in with the browser (ctrl-plus), and reduce the zoom on the map, until it is back to the size you want. To decrease the effective font size, zoom out with the browser (ctrl-minus), and increase the zoom on the map until its back to the size you want. The main limit of this is the limited range of the map zoom, which really limited me to fonts doubling to halving in size.
