How I roll.

Any rolls that are automatic, or pseudo automatic, such as Initiative, or if you say something like "every time we enter a room, I give it a quick scan", I make the rolls so we don't have to wait. Likewise, I generally make all the save rolls. All the rolls are above board, in spoilers to keep clutter to a minimum. I roll in either: (1) Alphabetic Order or (2) Initiative Order, as appropriate for the situation.

My rolls that are labeled ??? are labeled that way because I don't want to tip you off regarding certain situations. Once the situation is resolved, I generally report what the ??? event(s) were. The ??? events will not have modifiers for the same reason. If I make a ??? +4 roll for your character, you can probably quickly deduce which skills you have at a +4, for instance.

Again, this just helps save time.

Any save whose result may result in very bad things for your character, I leave to you whenever possible. If you face a Save or Suck for instance, I don't like to roll the save for you. Your character, your karma, your luck . . .

For any questions and concerns - I like to address these in the Discussion thread. That way everyone has the advantage of learning the answer to a specific question or ruling. When I post a ruling or what have you, I generally post the citation to the book, with a link to the PRD.

Last on this chain: I am wrong. I am wrong a lot. Since I have been born, I don't think I have ever had a single day where I have not been wrong. This is not a trend that is likely to end any time soon. When I am wrong, tell me. It is how we all learn.

Also, you cannot pass some checks without help. Aid other is a wondrous thing.

Taking 10 (T10) works differently in PFS than in the 3.5. For instance, you can T10 on knowledges and perception.

In First Steps, unlike the other PFS Modules, you do not need to take a faction. It is designed to send you on missions for all the factions. Over the course of the first two modules, you will do one mission for each of the ten factions. You can reserve a single Trait until you have a faction so you can choose a Faction Trait if you like.
