Got the first gameplay post up. Out of curiosity, how many of you have played Wounded Wisp before?

Played it once before. Off the top of my head, I can't remember much about it though.

Played it twice before.

I've been down with the flu for the last two days; sorry for the reduced post rate. I should be back in posting mood around Wednesday. In the meantime please feel free to bot me.

No worries. We're just getting started, and I have no problem waiting a day or two if you all would like. I'm in no real hurry.

Played it four times and ran it once. It was my very first ever PFS session for both playing and running. It's never quite the same though as each GM does it differently as well as the way each group approaches the encounters. I'm in a supporting role so those who haven't experienced this pretty good scenario can take the lead and get the fun of it.

If you want, I can even drop to let another player into the session. I'm perfectly okay with that.

It's kind of funny--I've never actually played it before.

I have GMed it a few times though.

I have no problem with you repeating it (it is an evergreen, after all). Played it several times myself. I ask purely out of curiosity.

I played the first encounter in another PbP game that broke up because of lack of posting...So I am almost completely unspoiled. Never GM'd it or read it either...

Played and gmed it a few times.
Tareal will buy a wand of clw for 2pp and a wayfinder for 250gp

The "corrupted post" stuff will hopefully clear itself out, either tonight or tomorrow. The Paizo team is aware of it and is supposedly working on fixing it.

The "corruption" seems to be that the comment is being GZIPped (compressed--to free Paizo up some storage space?) up somewhere and it isn't being un-zipped when the forum goes to read and display the post. I'm not sure why the code to read compressed comments wasn't rolled out before the code to compress comments was, but if Paizo ever finishes their code deployment your posts should start coming through loud and clear. Hopefully...

Sorry for the lack of posts this evening, folks. Between the site issues this afternoon and a F2F game tonight (playing this scenario, actually), I didn't have time. I'll get something up during the day tomorrow.

Basically in almost every area where Traianus had the option to improve his diplomacy or take another useful option, he opted for diplomacy. He won't even have Power Attack until level 3! He's a talky face who just so happens to be a paladin.

Hey hope you don't mind me asking a little more about this..it's just the highest I've ever scene a 1st level bonus! Obviously you have a concept you're committed too. But, I'm clearly missing something and I was wondering if you could point it out to me...Here's what I found:

You dumped Dex and Wis to basically get a high str.(17) and Chr. (19)
So here's what I figured so far:

> 1 skill rank diplomacy
> 3 diplomacy as a class skill
> 4 charisma modifier
> 3 Focused study (which gives you skill focus diplomacy)(alternate racial trait)
> 2 silver tongued (another alternate trait)
> 2 Ambassador (Sarenrae) religious trait

So by my Math so far: that'a fantastic +15 modifier at 1st lv! So where's the extra 3 coming from?
From what I can tell none of these mater: Noble Scion, Divine Emissary, Religious Mentor, Delayed Grace, Aura of Good, Detect Evil,or Magical Knack [Paladin]..

So what am I missing? does it have something to do with your familiar?
Did I miss some text in the above abilities or traits? Like I said 18 mod at 1st is the highest I've ever scene love to know how you did this.
Thx

On his Profile, it shows that he is getting a +3 Familiar bonus to Diplomacy.

I'm pretty sure he got a 19 in Charisma by buying it at 17 then adding the +2 Racial Mod. The highest you can start out at 1st level is 20, but to get a 19 or 20, you have to usually lower two abilities below 10.

Wow OK impressive! And to think he could dump Noble Scion and get Persuasive to be at a +20 bonus! At 1st lv!...That's when you can consider taking the -20 penalties to talk someone down in a round instead of a minute!

Ha, yes. Neuthro has the right of it.

Stat wise... STR: 17 DEX: 7 CON: 12 INT: 10 WIS: 7 CHA: 17 before racial mods. Man, that's ugly to look at. Poor guy.

With the whole Sovereign Court arc coming up in this season, I thought it was high time I made a high-diplomacy character. My wife made a fey sorceress who was a slightly better smooth-talker and she had a lot of fun playing her (she's almost retired now). I thought it looked like fun, and I was feeling like I was missing out on the Sovereign Court plot by not having anyone particularly tied into the faction. So... Traianus'll fix that!

I tried to build Traianus in a lot of different ways (I looked at linguistics, profession barrister...) but in the end the only thing that really worked was just piling on the normal diplomacy bonuses. It made me a little sad, but sometimes that's how it goes! :)

Of course, because I was trying not to copy my wife, I didn't want to go full-caster with him, so Traianus ended up a paladin. That meant he had to be ridiculously MAD, which means he had to dump stats. Sigh. Apparently you need to be clumsy to be that pretty. Who knew?

And yeah, if getting this number even higher is important to you (it's important to Traianus!) then look for Persuasive, Voice of the Sybil, a Circlet of Persuasion, and a few other things. By being a paladin, Traianus will miss out on some of the crazier high-level Diplomacy buffs, though, like Raiment of Command and Heroism. (Almost all of them appear on the bard list... bards make excellent diplomancers.)

I'm sorry in advance:

Nuethro moves in and with one swift kick brings the archer to his knees. He struggles to rise for a moment before falling over unconscious!

He used to be an archer, then he took an adventurer in the knee.

That's terrible and wonderful. You are a magnificent awful person.

hehe...

Game has been reported and chronicle sheets are HERE. Let me know if you spot any errors, or if you need anything changed.

Nice playing with you all, and good luck in OutPost, for those of you participating.

Thank you for GMing! It was fun.

What?!?! that was mighty fast administration chronicle-making skills GM Dennis! thank you so much for running this!

I like your speed! if you have any other games missing players let me know!

Fill-and-Sign in Acrobat and 'Save-As' make for short work of them.

You're very welcome. I think my OutPost games are already full, but I'll probably get something else going once those are done.

The Chronicle looks just fine. Thanks for picking up as the GM and running Wounded Wisp too. Nuethro is level 2 now. YAY!

It was fun with you as the GM. I've got you down on my 'Favored' GM List to look out for future games.

Likewise. You guys were great, and Dennis, you were really responsive and fast. It was a great PbP experience.

Thanks for the great game! I had a blast!

thank u GM great game got my chronicle...

Many thanks!

Thanks all. I had fun, and I'm glad everyone else did too. It seems like everyone got their chronicles, so i'm going to go ahead and mark this thread 'inactive'. If you discover any issues, feel free to PM me or ping me in Flaxseed.
