Dark Star has been contracted by the occupying government to lead a team to infiltrate and stop a meeting of the Communist party in Baltimare. He discovers that they are importing arms, and more importantly, special forces advisers from foreign nations. Things reach a literal boiling point when a warehouse of gasoline drums is set on fire, and now we will see who will live and who will die

Iron turns to Dark Star. "I do not think she has good intentions. I will go back to the escape vehicle just in case she gets any funny ideas. You go ahead and find that gold or something." Iron proceeds to walk out the superstructure and makes the small journey to the boat.
A new record for staying up, yippie! Going to bed now

Okay, let me backread to see what I missed while I was passed out.
Sister Ash just went into the ship to join the group (and also a way for me to have an excuse for not just running away or looking for Ollie).

It would be nice to have a new thread after we finish the immediate conflict.

Can I get a quick rundown of what's important? I'm not even sure where my character was in relation to everypony else.

Basically we killed some griffons. Brie encountered a griffon who can't speak ponish and is currently scared by the other female griffon working for Sunset's shots at the commie griffons. There are rumors that there is gold inside the ship, possibly on the captain's quarters, as well as possible profit for the guns inside the ship on the cargo hold, if I have to guess. Boat is being guarded by Onyx and me while everyone else is inside the ship together, expect for maybe Brie.

I'm stressing this a bit more. The scared griffon and the other live griffon are in different rooms.

Thanks.
I'm still not sure where my character is, but she was just trying to replace her lost spell components.
Btw, these are the spells Sister Ash has left:
Orisons:
>Detect Magick
>Light
>Mending
>Create Water
1st level:
>Obscuring Mist
2nd Level:
Animal Messenger
She's lost her Spell Components Pouch, but none of those spells, save for Animal Messenger have a material component for Divine Casters; the material component for that one is a small piece of food, which she could have found in the kitchen when she was looking around.
She should have about ~2 mins of Produce Flame left before the spell's duration expires.

How come you're only using up to the second level spells? Don't you level up your domain magic with your level?

We did leave like two burning buildings and exploding trucks to deal with, as well as a lot of corpses.

Only Clerics get those.
I'm a Druid. My Spellcasting ability isn't nearly as potent or god-like.

But in exchange, I get WildShape, and a few skill perks. Wild Shape can be really great with the feats that improve it. It's a reliable ability.

I just like the idea of being able to turn into a bear as a fallback ability.
Few of my spells are actually good for damage.

Sister Ash does not actually consider her Wild Shape to be a combat practice, but a religious practice (same goes for her spells): it's her way if becoming closer to the natural world, and thus godliness. Because of that, she would only use it sparingly.

I've got a couple questions: 1.) How many feats at his level could Silver have, and 2.) what does "base attack bonus" specifically refer to?
>>72513
If he's a fighter, he can get 5 feats total. Base attack bonus should be that plus number after an attack roll. Not the damage but the hit chance.

You should have 5 feats altogether at your level; three of which should be Fighter Bonus Feats.
Your Base Attack bonus is how easily you hit in melee. For a Fighter, it's equal to your level. As your BAB goes up, you may also gain an extra attack in s full round, every few levels:

Power attack is a must. It transfers that extra hit bonus to damage. Weapon focus and specialization are good if you intend to use the same weapon forever since it adds more hit chance and damage respectively. After that, not sure what you could pick.

Power Attack is not optional for Fighters.
Weapon Focus and Weapon Specialization are good too.

There's also Greater Weapon Focus and Greater Weapon Specialization.
If GM let's you take feats from other books as your levels progress, feats like Slashing Fury, Melee Weapon Mastery, and Weapon Supremacy are pretty awesome.

Also, Cleave and Great Cleave.
Most of your physical stats are pretty good, do you qualify for a lot of different kinds of feats.

Since you're going for two handed weapons, I'd say go for improved sunder to break weapons without fear of AoO or greater weapon focus for increased hit chance to transfer to power tattack.

>>72500,
In 1947, the old WW2 frieghter Grandcamp berthed in the harbor of Texas City, Texas, was loaded with a cargo of 2000 tons of Ammonium Nitrate in its hold and small arms ammunition, twine, and machinery on its deck. A fire was noticed in its hold one morning and the crew, as well as the Texas City fire department were dispatched to put out the fire. After an hour, the hold was filled with steam to try to starve the fire of oxygen, as if Ammonium Nitrate needs an external source of oxygen. Twelve minutes after that, the hold detonated.
The entire seaport was destroyed, as were 500 homes, more than 300 railcars, hundreds of cars, and several refineries. The ship’s 2 ton anchor was found in a 10 foot crater more than one and a half miles inland. A 15 foot wave was created, several ships were sunk, and half the windows in Galveston - 10 miles away - were blown out. With with all but one member of the local fire department - and a neighboring town - dead, firefighters were called in from as far away as Los Angelos, to combat fires that lasted up to a week. A separate ship, the High Flyer, caught fire from the explosion with its 600 tons of Ammonium Nitrate, and it exploded 15 hour’s later. The High Flyer’s propeller was found almost a mile inland. At least 581 died in all, with bodies placed in the school gymnasium for identification.
Now consider the position of the Black Hooves. There are two burning warehouses, one with thousands of gallons of high octane gasoline, and the other with unknown tons of Ammonium Nitrate. Are you sure there aren’t artillery shells or bombs in that warehouse? Are you sure there aren’t barrels of industrial alcohol boiling into explosive vapors in the other warehouse? Are you willing to get your life that these warehouses, burning 10 and 20 minutes now, aren’t ticking time bombs? The safer choice is to check with the shipping company as to what exactly is in those warehouses before proceeding to walk up next to them as if they are harmless. But really, the burning warehouses are hardly the only danger. The first two police officers to approach were machine gunned. There are unconfirmed reports of shape-shifting enemy agents who can take the form of any friendly. And besides that, gunshots are heard on the wharf. Besides, standard operating procedure is to completely encircle the enemy, and then attack with overwhelming force. So you may as well wait for the other units to get into position to cut off all possible routes of escape, before venturing into the gunfire and... literal fire
