Welcome please feel free to introduce yourself and we can also discuss character levels and level tier before we get started.


Hi all - I'm wondering if folks are okay with playing this low-tier, as all my other characters are booked at the moment. I have a couple of ideas I'm thinking about putting together - a zen archer (with a level or two of inquisitor early on) and a paladin, because in 30+ years of gaming I have never played one.


Technic Siege/Full Map

I'm pretty flexible. Only my highest level characters are in use right now. I currently have free:

Level 4 fighter - Dex based rapier guy
Level 3 Inquisitor - Reach weapon melee
Level 1's - Cavalier, Barbarian, Sorceror


Hi everyone! I wouldn't mind playing this at a low tier.

I have the following characters available:
Level 3 - Ranger
Level 1 - Oracle, Gunslinger, and possibly my Druid

Sczarni

Good morning everyone,

Available:
Caikahn - Aasimar Paladin - 1 (one credit)
Susan - Dwarf Urban Ranger - 7
Fijit - Geeked out Gnome Rogue - 1 (originally designed for Serpent's Skull)

Edit:
Going through old .por files, I found more Lvl 1 characters:
Pillango - Human Ninja
Belor - Shoanti Barbarian
Wilrine - Gnome (Undead Bloodline) Sorcerer

Sovereign Court

Male Gnome Prankster Bard 1 [HP 10/10 | AC/ff/t 16/14/13 | F/R/W +2/+4/+2 (extra +4 vs. illusions)| CMB -1 CMD 11 | Spd 20', Init +2, Per +6 | Spell 2/2, Song 8/8]

I've only got Findlefarb available right now for this: a L1 gnome prankster bard. It's either him, or I make a new character--also L1.


Okay, sounds like there are enough low-tier characters amongst us for me to play either of the two builds I mentioned.

GM Kysh - who else are you waiting on? Just wanting to figure out how much time I have before we start, in order to get my build and alias done.

Sczarni

Looks like everyone is here. I will be face to face gaming today over at Ronin Games so you'll probably need to be ready some time tomorrow Khelreddin. You can also come hang out at Ronin tonight. I believe we are playing The Infernal Vault and Feast of Sigils.


I don't think I'll make it to Ronin today, but I've heard great things about PFS there. I'll likely be at Games of Berkeley on Friday - in fact, I've got a tiefling paladin pretty much together, was thinking I'd run him Friday night and then jump him into this game. Is that okay with you, as long as we haven't gone beyond the intro scenes of this scenario?

Sczarni

Sure I am flexible.

Khelreddin here - thanks, Kyshkumen. I'll be playing with this guy, looking forward to playing with you all. Aside from a game I've just started with Jellyroll (I'm Mohok in Shadow's Last Stand), I don't think I've played with anyone in this group.

Derek here

I think it'll work best for me if I play my dwarf barbarian. He's got a single chronicle to his name, so after this he'd make level 2!

I read something about tieflings and aasimar not being allowed anymore in PFS after August 14 this year, unless they already have a chronicle sheet on their name before that date. Anyone knows more about that?


Yes, it is as you say. There's a blog post about it, but the blog tag-finding feature is acting a bit wonky at the moment, so I can't find it. Here's the short version, posted a while back my DM Kludde:

Aasimar and Tiefling PCs will no longer be PFS legal. Any Aasimar or Tiefling having 1 XP by Aug 13 (subtle wording in the blog post) will be 'grandfathered', meaning you can continue playing it. After Aug 14, you can no longer build a new PC that is Aasimar or Tiefling (the races are being replaced by Kitsune, Nagaji and Wayang)

This is why I want to get a chronicle on Ferabras on Friday night, as mentioned above.


Technic Siege/Full Map

That is correct. As long as you have 1 XP, either as a player or GM, you can keep them.

For PBP games they might be ok so long as the game starts by the 14th, but that would be less clear.

But if Khel plays his paladin on Friday, then hops in here, he's golden.

Sczarni

Offical blog thingy.

My understanding of it GM Derek is that the PbP games need to be finished by the due date not after.

This is Jellyroll.

With the Paladin and Barbarian in I'll play Pillango, Ninja skill monkey.
Any healers out there?

Also, I will have limited access to internet 08/01 - 08/09. I'll post as often as I can, feel free to bot if necessary.

So, here's the thing. Kysh gave the okay for me to play a PFS scenario tonight. We ended up playing the first Thornkeep module, wherein I almost died - in fact, I thought I had died at one point. But what that means is that after asking everyone to play level 1 (or at least low-tier), I'm now level 2.

Hope that's cool with everyone. Boy, there are some brutal encounters in that module!

Sczarni

It's still going to put us in the low tier so not really a big issue. Maybe if you came in with a level 3 it might have been a problem.

Silver Crusade

Tiefling Paladin 8 | HP 71 | AC 26 | T 12 | FF 25 | CMD 26 | Fort +13 | Ref +8 | Will +12 | Init +1 | Perc +3

Yeah, that's more or less what I figured. And this way I'll be more effective at helping to keep us alive and the monsters dead. I'll update my alias soon, likely tomorrow.

Back!

Well...kinda:
1) Gen Con on Thursday = 08/14 - 08/17 limited posting.
2) Took a new job which is much more demanding. Posting will be less than previous efforts, last week excluded of course.
3) If you need to boot me I completely understand.

I'm so sorry for me absence, everyone. Still adjusting for a change in work situation (new office, mainly).

If there are just 3 players at a table the GM may fill the 4th slot of the table with a pregen. Or at least that's allowed when the table hasn't started yet.

If no one else returns, could we have a pregen join us so we're with 4 again? It'd make the boss fight less worrisome.

Sczarni

I was giving a little more time but yes I am leaning toward a pregen.

Silver Crusade

Tiefling Paladin 8 | HP 71 | AC 26 | T 12 | FF 25 | CMD 26 | Fort +13 | Ref +8 | Will +12 | Init +1 | Perc +3

I think going with a pregen at this point makes sense. We seem set on melee and healing, we're a little short on skills and definitely lacking any arcane ability.

Sczarni

Wizard then?

Silver Crusade

Tiefling Paladin 8 | HP 71 | AC 26 | T 12 | FF 25 | CMD 26 | Fort +13 | Ref +8 | Will +12 | Init +1 | Perc +3

The low-level pregen wizard and sorcerer aren't great. Maybe the bard?

Haha, thank you!

Miyako's by far my 'weirdest' character, but most of my characters have something odd. I like playing characters that aren't entirely 'normal'.

Sczarni

It is in fact chronicle sheet time. I need PFS # and day job rolls.

Ferabras, level 2 tiefling paladin - looking to compensate for his devil blood by doing some good in the world - he'll be along for #2.

Sczarni

Bard was just a pre-gen since we were down to only 3 players. Feel free to finish what you were doing in game. I am just going to flow right into part 2.

Meta-gaming a wee bit here, but I assume Pratt's defeat represents the end of Part 1, and there's not a lot of reason to heal and question him. Is that so? I just don't want to keep us from starting part 2 by dragging out the end of part 1.

I expected another briefing from the venture-captain, but perhaps that's not how it works with most sequel scenarios?

(I'm GMing part 2 of Shadow's Last Step, and it had another briefing. Which is why I expected such a briefing.)

Yeah, there would normally be one, even for a second part, so that's what I was thinking too.

Sczarni

This one has a more natural flow so if you would like more story by all means continue with what you are doing. If not you can simply turn him over to the authorities and move along and see how it unfolds.

Links to the chronicles have gone out as PM's. Let me know if you have any trouble printing or if I goofed up on something.
