OSIRION FOR THE WIN!
Just GM'd this one last night. We had fun with it; mostly because I had a band of bards at the table (The Flesh Puppets) who kept using Reckless Infatuation to make the bad guys fall in love with the gnome sorcerer.

Before I forget:
You are an expert researcher, but some of your greatest discoveries come from the first-hand accounts of your companions and not from musty tomes. At the beginning of scenario, you may select a fellow party member. Up to once during that scenario, if that character tells you of his or her exploits in an earlier adventure that your character has not played, document the name of the scenario, the agent's name, and that player's Pathfinder Society number on a line below. For every three stories you collect in this way, you gain a permanent +1 bonus to one Knowledge skill of your choice; you may not choose the same Knowledge skill twice. If you successfully fill all 30 lines below, you gain a +1 inherent bonus to your Intelligence score.
IMPORTANT: When sharing these stories, endeavor to avoid important spoilers.

"SO YOU DISCUSS THE TIME ANOMALIES THAT PLAGUE THE SOCIETY? THAT'S WEIRD!"
That's a cool boon, though. Are we shooting for low tier, since I'm seeing a Sloth-focused Eldritch Knight?

Necromancy is actually gluttony. I picture him as an overweight grim reaper. But yeah, going for Eldritch Knight eventually. He's only level 2 but I can play up if necessary. He's pretty squishy though and probably won't be able to do much.
Corbalias Celecia |
Oh, yeah. Conj=Sloth.
@Set: Slow posting has no worries and gives me a bigger threshold to work within, do ho ho.
What it looks like we probably need is either some kind of face and/or casty person, though it'll likely depend on tier. Corb is good on melee damage output, but is still only 1HD.

I have 3 bow users, a 3rd cleric, 3rd bard that was made mainly to do faction missions who is kind of obsolete now, and a 1st treesinger druid. Xenobia may still be fifth, but she is half cleric half melee. Also have a level 5 sorceress, but she is in another group at the moment. Everything else I have is melee in this tier.

I'll be honest; I kinda really want to get Ernest in the last one, but only because this is the big Osirion pieces this season, it seems. I'm not adamant on it, though, especially if whatever I run turns out amusing enough.

Reminder to self (and probably others): Do faction mission.

No, but several factions have a focus in this one. I don't think Silver Crusade is one of them. Since the season goal of Osirion is to hunt down the Jeweled Sages, I think completing the scenario objective pretty much does it for me this time.
Corbalias Celecia |
Osirion, Qadira, and Sczarni have relevance in this one (iirc), so I figured Osirion might be a "100% this mission." I think I have to broker info out of Torch for Gurail, but I'd have to reread the letter when I'm at least mildly awake.

I will later; Legitimacy in continuity and whatnot. I mean, we'll have to report back to get info, ja?

What he means is you should have asked Torch earlier because there are extra things Sczarni people have to do.

Ah, I see. Here's to hoping either post-main mission dialogue functions or it was a Stealth or Sleight of Hand check I would have failed anyways, then.

Hey, I'll be there! Wasn't sure if I could make it but Becca and I had a blast last year so we'll make the drive. I'll GM and she'll volunteer for free badges again and she has a step-sister in Indy that we can stay with so we'll end up only having to pay for gas. It'll be a long drive from Wisconsin but we'll make it! We're hoping to play our 13.2 characters in the special too (assuming it's 12+ again). We were at the high tier table last year with Michael Costello as the GM and had a lot of fun.

I fear GenCon will be one of those things I continually try to motivate myself to attend (but never will), which is a notion only made more difficult to resist given my sister whose college is within 1-2 hours drive is still only a sophomore.

So, just looked at the blog post;
1) SILVER MOUNT! TECHNIC LEAGUE! GUBLAAAAHAAAAAAAA* YESSSSSSSSSS. This is a literal 180 in opinion from what I thought about Season 5's overall demon theme. Too bad my Anti-Technic League Synthysist Summoner isn't PFS-legal anymore.
2) Ratfolk on the Tier 2 boon: AHGUUHHHH* YESSSSSS! I want to go to Gen Con to get to make a Madrid Bloodline Ratfolk for ALL the worst (horrible home game-related) reasons.
Super tempted, as always. Bigger thing is that it won't happen, though; especially if I'm attempting to go by myself. I'm super bad at planning and self-motivation to plan.

Lol, Corb. I would go, but A) It's way too far as I live on the other side of the country, 2) I'm usually too broke to make it to local cons so Gen Con is out of the question, C) There isn't much incentive to go a con. Other than some cool boons, I can play everything here or more likely online with you guys.
Though I totally wish androids were a legal race b/c I would totally play one for season 6. Or any season really.

As a big fan of the Eberron setting, I wanted to note there's a HUGE difference between Warforged and Androids; Androids are more person than machine. They're living, die, bleed, and do all the other stuff normal humanoids do. They just have nanites in their blood and were processed like machines.
Warforged are constructs, through and through. They are only sentient because around the end of the big Houses war whose name I can't remember because every house told House Cannith "I want robots that do my strategy for me," (which is why the Juggernauts AREN'T usually sentient.) There's in-game, canon debates on whether they have souls and what happens when they shut down. The fact Eberron deities gave zero f's about who gets their powers only helped muddy that issue.
Mr. Jacobs goes into this somewhere on the Iron Gods forum, but it boiled down to "Androids aren't Terminator or Robocop, they're Max Steel." End mild tangent on the second-best 3.5 Eberron race.

Only emotion effects (and morale bonuses, as well as fatigue); they get a +4 on other enchantment stuff. So, kinda, but they're not "MY SKIN IS ARMOR, MY MIND GOES BEEP BOOP MEGAMAN POWER ARMOR GO" that Warforged are.

Ha, I think I either responded mid edit with emotionlessness stuff or didn't read it entirely. Either way, what I was getting at was that androids will NOT be getting options to attach a cannon to one's arm, transform into other machines, or installing secret wrist-mounted hand crossbow into one's wrist (which I feel are the most iconic and actual 3.5 WotC-made thing of 'Forged, though that might not have been a thing in 4e.) I dunno.

Ha, the first two were merely almost-artifacts slash gratuitously-expensive magic components (items that cost extra amounts of gold but didn't take up slots.) But, yeah, agreed. Though making a Conan-esque desert-walker Kellid Barbarian/Rogue is always super-tempting for anything Numeria-oriented.

Horrible thought I just had; "I would have been better off playing Steve for this."
