Tuesday Runelords

The report from Ranier:


  • This Thassolonian snitch is becoming a strange thing.  Like some strange force of fate, it forces our party to always change.  I fear Pajar and Dante are gone too long.  Another paladin popped out today, joining our party.
  • The paladin appears to be Varisian and her name is Tarisia.  I simple call her Tari.
  • We ran into another person in the level below today.  I tried to bluff my way through and I guess I was successful because he left without issue.
  • We found the problematic half-elf brother of Amico today.  Axle killed him quickly in his sleep.  He deserved worse, but it was good to avoid the fight for a change.
  • We ran into some sort of vicious sea monster today.  Axle came in too close and got killed.  A least the sea monster had been killing goblins for a while, which left fewer for us to clean up.
  • We found some sort of goblin nursery with cages.  Fun times.
  • We came across a temple of Lamashtu with two large extraplaner dogs.  Jericho fell in fear after their terrible howl.  The fighter killed one but got taken down by the other.  My scimitar fared well and I was able to take down the other.
  • We have found a ton of stuff along the way.  Soon we'll have to sort through it and see what to keep and what to leave behind.
  • Another warrior appeared from the snitch -- some sortof lone wolf rogue.  His appearance and same family name suggests he is of the same family as Axle, but he is displaced in time by 120 years.  
  • Sol and I are the only ones left from the original party.  I guess hiding my magic and relying on my sword has served us well, so far.  May fortune continue to favor our path, where ever it may lead.

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...

Pathfinder without Armor Check Penalty: Avoiding Nude PCs

I like Pathfinder without Armor Check Penalty and here's why.  From the PRD: Armor Check Penalty : Any armor heavier than leather, as well as any shield, applies an armor check penalty to all Dexterity- and Strength-based skill checks. A character's encumbrance may also incur an armor check penalty. Armor check penalty is a big problem in Pathfinder.  It affects a number of critical skills: Acrobatics Climb Disable Device Escape Artist Fly Sleight of Hand Stealth Swim Clearly some of these seem relevantly affected, but what about disable device?  I can't move lockpicks because I am wearing armor?  That seems odd.  If I were to include ACP, which I currently don't foresee, I think I would limit it to affecting only Acrobatics, Escape Artist, Sleight of Hand, and Swim.  These seem reasonable... more reasonable than the full list.  Unfortunately, my experience with ACP is that is leads to unnecessarily ridiculous scenarios: Hmmm... ...

More Organizing

Besides an occasional game, mostly I've been organizing things in my rare spare time.  I got my hooks put up allowing me to hang my gaming bags and travel monitor.  Also, I got a pegboard framed and hung over my miniatures table.  It's all looking better and better.
