1. Player Name Michael Hallet
2. Character's Name Ursahla
3. Class and Level Swashbuckler 1/Ranger 6/Vigilante 1
4. PFS# (and dash) 2608-2
5. Faction Exchange
6. Day job Roll (if any)
Has Opportune Parry and Riposte.
Her ranger combat style is faithful (Besmara) and as such is a specialist in dirty tricks, so you might want to familiarize yourself with the rules on that.
Often uses disguises.
That guess about the subtier makes a lot of sense. I don't have the actual scenario yet (should be dropping soon), but I'll make sure to be as transparent as possible on that front once I have the full information. With the 5 people currently signed up we're currently at an APL of 8, so level 7's would be OOS.
Re Opportune Parry & Riposte: My preference is that you pre-roll those in a spoiler... which a quick glance at your posting history shows is your method so we should be good!

1.) Seren is a Spirit Dancer, so unlike a standard medium she actually has a mechanic similar to if you combined Barbarian rage with bard song. She dances as a free action and chooses her spirit then, and after she stops she has a 1 minute cooldown before she can dance again. It basically means I can choose roles combat to combat, and anyone close to her gets bonuses based on the spirit just by being near rather than participating in a seance.
2.) She has haunt channeler, which means she can't be surprised by haunts, and if one manages to go off I default to her auto-failing the roll so it possesses her, but can't effect the party.
3.) This one is spoilery
I am fine playing up, if I have to I can take on more support-focused roles instead of standing up front! I ran this years ago, so I don't remember most of it, but I pulled up my old PDF and Ursahla is right, we'd be tier 8-9, since it goes 5-6 8-9
I don't know - he was Rogar a second ago :p

Ahem... I could have posted that by mistake... Everything was edited already, nothing to see 'round here, folks!
Btw, I would be grateful if you could erase Thror noxious personality from this game. He's currently occupied witha different mission and does not belong here, at all...
And, since we are here, I'd like to spend 1 PP and get the Noble Title from the PFS Field guide.
Thror who?
Out of curiosity, which title are you going for?

1. Player Name (as you want it on your chronicle): Ansha
2. Character's Name Ansha Saeralyan
3. Class and Level Wizard (manipulator) 6/Enchanting Courtesan 1

5. Faction Dark Archive
6. Day job Roll (if any)
FYI I will be driving cross-country from tomorrow to Saturday, so I may be a bit slow/sparse with posts for the first few days.
No worries Ansha, though when you do have a moment I would appreciate it if you could fill in some basic stats into your tagline (Classes/Levels is a traditional place for them). It's very helpful to me if I can see your hp, ACs, Saves, Perception, Initiative et al. while looking at the thread.
Thanks!

So for when things inevitably hit the fan, how would the rest of the party want me to default act? Seren could act like a sort of bard giving +2 attack/+4 damage to the melee and +2 spell damage to the casters. Or she could play the healer/buffer role, or her standard walk up and hit things.
She can can also go archmage for some weak nuking, but we already have a pair of arcane casters.
She can change per combat, so it's not hard locked in for the day/scenario like a normal medium. I just want to fill the role we need most.

Hey guys, I'll be getting in one last post late tonight, then I'll be gone for 1-2 days. While I'm away I'll leave you in the capable hands of GM Gustavef.
Oh, and Tess, you're good to Healing Hex.

Tess: you can make an escape artist check as an immediate action to break the grapple thanks to Seren's liberating command.
That too!
Hey guys, I'll be on again tomorrow to post, but I currently don't have access to the scenario! I'm traveling and the wi-fi where I'm staying is insufficiently fast or stable enough to re-download the file. Posting shouldn't be a problem once I've got that sorted, but I'll be on pause until I can get to an internet cafe sometime tomorrow.
Gm Gustavef thanks for stepping in, and I'd really appreciate it if you could extend your tour for another half-day or so.
The whole spellbook seems excessive, but at an hour a spell, you should have time for some. Give me a wishlist!
I think dispel magic, glitterdust, and shield are the only three Ansha would have an immediate use for. Although Ansha would also be duly horrified when she found out witches destroy the source material from which they teach their familiars spells. (Even if it shouldn't affect anything in PFS Chronicles, she's a wizard--the thought of destroying a spellbook appalls her.)
Ha, fair enough, three should be fine between days
For RP purposes, I wonder whether it'd be better for Ansha to scribe scrolls from the spell book for Tess to feed to her familiar. (Pretending, for RP purposes, that Ansha had the scribe scroll feat.)
I'm good for that, cosmetic choices like that typically don't trouble me :)
I do think that cauterizing weapon should work the way you guys want, and in a home game it absolutely would, but in PFS, having it work to stop an ability that isn't regeneration is about as far as I'm willing to stretch the hydra's rules.
Nonsense is kinda our thing.
To be a little more explicit, time matters, but saving people also has its impacts. It isn't an all or nothing decision, however.

Possibly so, but I wasn't able to post and check out on the boards until my last post when the stone wall was already up, I suppose Rogar lost his delayed action as well (if the wall was already set up and Rogar still had his delayed action he would have moved near the blue cultist and tried to cut him down instead of reaching for the dais, those 2 rolls of 20 would have worked beautifully I think).
|

To further elaborate on the point above:
-If allowed Rogar would have fled the cathedral with his companions once he realized they wanted to run after the assassin.
-If the wall of stone went up before Rogar could use his delayed action but he got that action still he would have cursed and charged the nearby cultist (which would have resulted in him taking a critical hit from his greatsword). If that would have killed the cultist Rogar would have charged the other cultist nearby with his following action.
-If none of the above can happen Rogar just loses his delayed actions, so he moves up the dais and waits for the nearby cultist to cast again before shooting at him, hoping to prevent another spell being cast.
That all seems reasonable, I just felt that narrating Rogar leaving with the group off of:
"Once all hell breaks loose Rogar stands amidst the fleeing crowds brandishing his sword and pointing it at the upcoming cultists:"You will regret this... fools!" he shouts, waiting for the invaders to come closer."
would have been a bit railroady on my part :p
So with a wave of my magic GM wand...
It's time for everyone's favorite subsystem - a Chase!
For those who aren't familiar here's a brief rundown:
A character may attempt to move three squares during his turn by taking a full-round action. That character must overcome both obstacles on the square he is leaving. In this case, if a character fails either obstacle check by 5 or less, he only moves one square forward and his turn ends. If a character fails either obstacle check by more than 5, he cannot move at all that turn. A character unfortunate enough to fail two obstacle checks in a turn becomes mired in his current square. A mired character must spend another full-round action becoming unmired, effectively losing his next turn.
A character can also choose to make a ranged attack or cast a spell during his turn in a chase. If the action is a full-round action, he can’t move at all. Use the number of squares and their established distances (in this case, 30 feet) to determine ranges as necessary. The terrain where the chase takes place might provide the target partial or even full cover or concealment. A character can only choose to make melee attacks against targets that are in the same square.
Generally speaking for this chase if you are 1 card away there's clear line of sight, 2 cards away there's cover and concealment, 3 cards away there's improved cover and concealment, more than that and you have no LOS/LOE
Happy to do it! I generally try to avoid gotcha GMing - especially regarding quirks of PbP that would never happen in person.
I always thought flight kind of interacted poorly with Chase scene rules. Really it should make getting past obstacles a non-issue- I mean, you just fly over it. At least the chase rules sort of account for that by giving people who have flight a +10 bonus on checks to overcome obstacles.
