Hey guys, in regarding uses of diplomacy/bluff/intimidate, you generally make your case followed by an appropriate skill check.

For example, if you wanna get through the guards into a warehouse, you might type...

*pulls out a badge*
"See this? I'm the warehouse inspector and I'm here on behalf of the lord mayor himself. Apparently, there might be fenced goods in the warehouse you're guarding, and I need to look inside. If you do not move out of the way in three seconds, I swear to Pelor and all that is holy that your next shift is going to be at the city's sewage disposal." /r 1d20+8 bluff

Or something along those lines.

(The DC is heavily dependent on the case you make, so make sure you really sell it!)

Pulls out badge. It says "DA FEDZ" written poorly in crayon. They try to do a check to see if it's legit. Unfortunately, they need to make a dc 35 skill check. So they let you through.

True story.
You're not going to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. S*Gaiden will not make long cases, write stunning insights, or sugar coat his words. He is not the man for multi-paragraph eloquence. He is, however, being honest to a fault, and it comes across in his writing.

In post 497, Ether wrote:Oh, by the way, I checked the ring when I leveled, and it was a Ring of Protection +1. That's a deflection bonus to AC, the same bonus you get from shields.

Postie should probably get it? Erwin got the mithril chain shirt, so Achan's the melee fighter with the lowest AC right now.

Alternatively they're worth 2000 GP, but that'd be more useful once magic items are available.
UPDATE: I lied, shields and deflection are different bonuses. This doesn't really matter, but yeah.

For your slam natural attack, you may use your head, feet, knee, elbow, or whatever. You can use both your hands to wield a greatsword and still make a slam attack.

When you full attack, you can also attack with your slam. For slam, you roll a normal attack roll minus 5.

I think I've finalized my L2 build. I retooled some skills, and added the relevant bonuses from miscellaneous places.
Reworked my carrying capacity so all the important stuff is on my person and if my bag is lost I only lose the supplies, not the valuables.

I might buy a crossbow (repeating?) later if I feel like I need better ranged options.

Guys, please know ahead of time what you are doing in case of a level-up and be ready to adjust your sheet rapidly (<2 min), or else I won't let you level up until the session ends.

Guys, I didn't account for the time zone difference (I was on flights all day yesterday), and I need to push back the session by an hour.

My apologies.

I'll post more of my thoughts on the session later.

Act 3 introductions:

Cutscenes 3a
Cutscenes 3b
Cutscenes 3c

There will be 6 days downtime between Act 2 and Act 3. Enjoy!

So since I've got a level in cloistered cleric I should be able to cast the identify spell as a divine spell (twice per day I think with 12 wisdom)

Can I use it to identify the magic items we found

To distribute: 27g, 34 yellowish gems (11 I found, 11 Erwin found, 12 post-dungeon loot), Magical Heavy Steel Shield, Magic potion, Magic Ring, and a Magic Bag. 5 greataxes.

Sigma has identify now, so what's the deal with the magic stuff?
