DM AM's The Confirmation (Inactive)

Game Master overfiend_87

Hi all, feel free to discuss anything you wish out of character here as well as let me know if you'll be away for more than 24 Hours as we all have lives and can't be online all the time after all.

I will need you guys to write down the following so that we'll all be set when the adventure ends and I need to print your Chronicle, sign it, send it to you and report the game, though probably not in that order.

1.) Player Name/Nickname
2.) Character Name
3.) PFS ID
4.) Faction
5.) Email Address (in spoilers if needed, this is just for Boons).

GM here. It also might help to put this info up below your name, like Abaal has and Davor here has. This way I can help combat go a bit faster by knowing your AC, Perception and Init so we don't have to wait for everyone to post before knowing the results and can get straight into it.

I may start the game a bit earlier. Will that be fine with everyone?

Edit: This also reminds me, Davor is up a level and after completing a game on Monday he has some more gold so spending time!

I updated it so that it can all be seen now.

I am good with starting earlier. I am excited about this game! :)

Thanks for organizing the game! Starting earlier works fine by me.

I will update my character stats sometime today.

It is a fun little adventure and what's awesome is it's repeatable. You can do it again and again to get to level 2 if you wanted, but as you can imagine that would be very boring to do the same adventure 3 times :p

I am also good with starting sooner.

From the back seat: "Are we there yet?"

GM: Wanted to let you know a few things:

My character always has Feral Focus on. (Per Page 96 of the ACG, it has no limit for my archetype.)

By default, he has the Falcon on. (He looks almost lycanthropic: with aspects of human and falcon in his appearance and attitude.) This focus gives him +4 to perception checks.

If a constant ability is too much cheese for your table, I'm happy to tone it down. :-) For example, only use it during combat or for skill checks.

In my profile, I've included the list of Feral Focus options. I include it below also. He'll change focus to bull for melee, tiger for ranged combat, etc.

Kind of, you can repeat it with NEW level 1 PC, but I COULD NOT do it three times in a row with Reis. A level 2 PC can do it once adn only once, after that a level 2 can never do it again for credit.

Also i am ready to start whenever

If you were blue, we could call you our BFF. ;)

:-D *poof!* Now he's wearing all blue clothes.

I'll get around to starting the adventure tomorrow. For the moment I've been running around in circles doing a few things on my personal end.

I just realized that Essua was not wearing his Scale Mail when I generated his code block. (I forgot to click the "Equip" check box in Hero Lab. That bumps his AC to 17. He's since slipped his armor on. I've updated the stat blocks.

GM, I need a ruling:

An ecclesitheurge is proficient with the club, dagger, heavy crossbow, light crossbow, and quarterstaff, but he’s not proficient with any type of armor or shield. At 1st level, an ecclesitheurge makes a vow to his deity to be protected solely by his faith, not by armor or shields. An ecclesitheurge who wears prohibited armor or uses a prohibited shield is unable to use his blessing of the faithful ability, use cleric domain powers, or cast cleric spells.

Is the spell ice armor a violation of the above issue.

I always thought that meant anything not gifted by your deity, I.e. No armor that is not a spell. In such case, I would think Ice Armor should be fine.

That is how I have always taken that. You may use any type of spell armor or magically increased AC, but not actual armor.

hmm...it's difficult. I quite agree with the below ruling:

It's fairly cut and dry.

Both Ice Armor and Instant Armor create a suit of armor to be worn, and even function as a listed armor. So they could not be worn.

Bracer's of Armor are not prohibited because its not armor. The vow doesn't mention armor bonuses (or else you couldn't use Magic Vestment).

An armor bonus is not breaking your vow. It says Armor and Shields specifically, much like how a Druid is restricted, but in this case its just all Shields and Armor.

However, considering that the spell is granted by your deity then you are technically not sheilding yourself with manufactored armour, but that given to you by your deity so I'm going to rule that you can use it, however other DMs may use Brain in a Jar's logic for it.

But as he mentioned, things like Bracers of armor or shield of faith would be perfectly fine as it's energy and no one can complain eitherway.

So I will allow it, but you'll have to check with other DMs are some will let it fly but other's won't.

I also forgot to suggest doing your Job rolls, for those who have jobs or perform or others.

A calligrapher's stroke is not unlike that of a swordsman's.
Craft (Calligraphy): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Essua Day has been scraping together a meager amount of money by offering his services as a meat cutter at a local butcher.

Day Job Check (Butcher): 1d20 ⇒ 4

Although he was considerably skilled when working at the family job, his true heart lies in adventure. He only plies the butchery craft as necessary to fund his meager lifestyle until such time as the phat adventurin' loots begin to accumulate.

No day job

Hey! Lookit that! The GamePlay Thread is open!

Oh sorry, I thought I mentioned it :p I apologise.

Happy to help out. Not meaning to chastize.

For the record, I am having a *riot* with the Social awkwardness playing out through Essua's character. I will probably tone it down a bit once we're out and moving, but I just wanted you all to know that It is my sincerest hope you're enjoying his awkward gauky phase. It's not a personality aspect I had envisioned for Essua until it just started coming out.

That's fine, I find it enjoyable :D

Plus I don't have a ETA for the end of this as, of course, games can take any length of time. Especially on pbp.

I am incredibly entertained by it. Nigari is having a great time playing with his reactions...that's what you get when you get a devout follower of Calistria, who is indeed Chaotic Neutral. :)

It's hilarious! :-)

Agreed, lol.

Is it fair to assume that we're traveling w/o Reis Sier?

Reis Sier?

Reis Sier?

Exactly.

No idea who that is...was it another player?

No big deal. People go missing all the time. :D Who needs healing anyway? I'm sure Divdesmit can morph into a healing bumblebee if we need him too. :D

She'S not replied in so long...maybe I went too fast, but I did say once a day...maybe I moved on too fast. I'd she comes back soon she may still get full chronicle sheet. As long as she's involved in the majority of encounters she can still get it.

Before going on I'll contact her to see if she's still around. If not the only way to heal would be for the resident wizard to use UMD to use the wand in Janira's pack.

I can heal. I have a wand AND cure light wounds is one of my spells.

ahh, completely forgot Hunters could heal.

I'll give her 24 hours (from when I sent her the PM) and if there's no reply then we'll continue without her.

Sorry for not posting...had a busy weekend. I'll be posting as Nigari again today!

Weekends are understandable. Everyone has a life after all so I'm not going to penalise anyone for weekends :)

I will be out of town next week, but will have access to internet via my phone. 'twill make moving the map a bit of a challenge, but I will do my best to stay on top of the "once a day" guidelines. If you want to move the story along, feel free to delay/'bot Essua as nessessary.

Post-heads-up: Sunday I'll be coming off the last of three 80-hour work weeks (job transitioning), so I should be a bit more post reliable starting Monday again (though 50-66 hours will be my new normal at work). Sorry for any out of character headaches.

filling out the chronicles now. I'll finish when I get back from work, but which number is your character number? I'm assuming 3 unless you actually have 43 characters :p

I'm assuming it's 3.

DM AM, looks to me like Nigari is 170843-1. I was able to confirm this using my own scenario reporting.
