Please decide which character you'll play. This game be run as subtier 1-2, and of course your character has to be PFS legal.

When you've decided which character you want to play, make a post with it in this thread. Provide an info bar similar to the following where 'race' is listed in your profile:

M Human Alchemist/3 (HP 22/23 | AC:20 | T:17 | FF:13 | CMB: +0 | CMD:14 | Fort:+6 | Ref:+7 | Will:+0 | Init:+4 | Perc: +3 | Speed: 30 ft.)

Once everyone's chosen a character to play with I'll 'officially' open the gameplay thread for you. Before this happens you can still swap your character.

Several more invites have been sent. I'll open recruitment if no one else shows up this weekend.

happy to join, I have several different characters, but the one I'd like to play is finishing up another game. I'm not sure if it'll be done by monday. Is that when you are planning to start this game?

I will post with the character I hope will be available, but may need to change to a different one.


I plan to start this game somewhere next week, depending on how fast other players join. If those I invited join we may have enough players by Monday, if they don't we may have to wait a day or two longer.

How much longer do you think your game will run? Are you fighting the boss?


confirmation:
I think we're just about to head out to fight the minotaur (boss).

but if for some reason it's not done by the time you're ready to start, I have other characters I can use instead. Basically, you don't need to wait for that character, I'm able to start with a character anytime.

I'd be up for playing this with Branson. Need to get my last cert.

I'm fine with waiting until folks are ready if needed.

Female Human (Varisian) Nature Oracle 1/Fey-Serpentine Sorcerer 1 (HP 15/15, AC 22/ff18/t14, F+2 R+1 W+3, CMB+0 CMD 14, Per +1, Init +1, spells 4/4, tstrike 4/4, fangs 7/7)

I'm in the same boat as Branson, so when he's ready, I'll be ready.


Current list of players:

Branson Davelock
Chyras LeBlanc
Kavaki Gossamar
Traceni Skrit

3 of our current players are in-game. Branson and Traceni are past the boss, and should be in the conclusion of their game. Kavaki has just entered the boss battle. I'll wait for your games to finish.

I wrote I'd open recruitment today if no one else I'd invited would join. Luckily 2 more players showed up!

Would you like a 5th party member in case no one else I've invited joins, or do you think 4 players is enough?

If we can talk Malleck into joining us, we should be ready to stomp some butt!

Although he might not be able to commit to two whole games at level 2.

The more the merrier. I vote for 5. Depending on post rates, hopefully we'll be done sooner than later. This battle should not be long. Thank you for your patience as I really would like to use this same character for this adventure.


How close to level 3 are you after The Confirmation, Kavaki?

Crosses his fingers and thinks, "hopefully this is his first scenario at level 2."

that one will make 2 scenarios after reaching 2nd, so 1 scenario away, or after this one is done.

Except this is 2 scenarios.

So, I'll be level 3 for part 2. Is that a problem?


It's not a problem, because the average level of the party has to fall within the subtier. Chyras will reach level 2 after this scenario. Meaning that, if Traceni stays level 1, we'll continue part 2 in subtier 1-2.

If Traceni also reaches level 2 after this scenario you'll have to play part 2 in subtier 3-4. That is, unless a character joins that'll still be level 1 after part 1. That would bring the average back to 2.

Traceni, how close are you to level 2 after your current scenario's finished?

I can either make 3 after the first round here, or after the second.

I have credit from WBG2 to assign, and it can be done at 3rd, so I can play both of these at 2.


Normally you apply credit you've gained through a pregen when your character reaches the level of the pregen, but the credit from WBG2 applies sooner:

"All players who play the entire module receive the
attached Chronicle sheet which may be applied to any
2nd-, 3rd-, or 4th-level PC as if that character had played
the module."
- From the extra instructions attached to the Chronicle Sheet.

When you've chosen which character should receive the credit it has to be applied as soon as the character is able to receive it. (While the character is in another game, you'll have to wait with applying credit till the character's no longer in a game. The non-applied credit is then applied in the order gained.)

This statement is important. This decision is not made yet.


Just apply the WBG2 credit to Branson if you want. If Traceni reaches level 2 after part 1, like Chyras, we'll have 2 level 2 characters and 2 level 3 characters. The average party level will be 2.5. You'd normally round halves up, but in PFS you may still choose to play down in this situation.

I've taken another look at the encounters in both parts, and considering Kavaki will be level 3 during part 1 and Branson's a healer I'd prefer this scenario with the 4 players we currently have. You should be able to handle it.

If Traceni stays level 1 we'll have to play down anyway. With 5 players part 2 would become too easy, but 4 should keep it fun even when playing subtier 1-2 with 2 level 3 characters in the mix.

Just to make things clearer, I will be level 2 after part 1.


Then I'm not adding anyone else to the party. So when everyone who's currently in is ready we'll start :)

we're done. GM is getting chronicles out soon. besides a few possible purchases, I'm ready when y'all are. Thanks again for waiting


Great! And no problem.

I'm also in the game Branson and Traceni are in, and I hope it'll be done in a week. This game's directly starting when they're ready. So when either of them says they're ready, feel free to start posting in the gameplay thread.


Branson and Traceni are done with their current scenario! We'll await their chronicle sheet, and of course they'll get some time to purchase things.

We'll be able to start soon! :)

Ok, I got my cert. I'll get whatever gear I need purchased tomorrow and be ready to go and make a post.

As an aside, anyone here have a level 1 or 2 character and interested in playing scenario 4-07 Severing Ties?

I've got a group of 3 ready to go HERE and they need a 4th.


I'm waiting for Traceni before we really get started, and would like it if she and Branson could confirm being ready after making the changes. While waiting I'll answer the questions your characters may have in the gameplay thread.

I am gtg! Once this scenario is over and I make 3rd level, it may take slightly longer, but I'm all set now!

Does she mean translate from "creepy oracle chick" into common? If so I haven't had a chance to stick a rank into "creepy oracle chick" yet.

Haha, yes.

But anyway, here are the rebuilds I did for Traceni:

Spells: Swapped out Murderous Command for Bless.

Traits: Swapped out Friend of the Fey for Bandit (to make Intimidate a class skill)

Skills: Swapped out Knowledge(Religion) for Intimidate. I now have a +9 there.

Racial Traits: Swapped out Focused Study for Extra Feat.

Feats: Swapped out Skill Focus: Knowledge(Nature) for Fey Foundling.

I was originally going to take the Eldritch Heritage (Fey) feats, but I think I might just dip into Sorcerer for the arcana instead (which Eldritch Heritage wouldn't have gotten me, anyway).


Those are quite some changes. Intimidate really suits Traceni, haha!

I like the Fey Bloodline, it has some very good abilities. Laughing Touch would suit Traceni. She and the fey will probably laugh along when she uses it.

I also think that the realization that the really good abilities in the bloodline (Fleeting Glance, Fey Magic) would have to wait in any case for when I'm 11th level that I decided, just forget about getting those abilities, take the dip, and stick to Oracle.

I could take Feather Fall and True Strike as my sorcerer spells, too, which I could stay in armor for them.

Awesome dip for other classes too


For those who have never used Ditzie before, here's how it works:

You can drag your picture to another position to the map, but the map doesn't automatically save. So press Enter on your Keyboard, and the link to the map should change. Copy this new link, and create a link to it in your new post.

Always use the last map created by someone else when you post. I will let it be known when I update the map below my name.

If you're not able to use Ditzie, please let me know and post an accurate description of your movement instead when you make a post. It's encouraged to help your comrades if someone can't use Ditzie, which you can do by updating the map for him.

Unless my work has completed changed its IT policies I won't be able to do anything with it. YEP! it's entirely blocked.

I should be able to view it on the iPhone, so I'll do that and then describe my movements in detail in the gameplay thread, so if someone is able to move me, they can.

Sorry to be a pain folks.

@Chyras - FoB (flurry of blows) is a monk class feature, the "monk" quality simply indicates the weapon "may" be used as part of a FoB.

Flowing monk is an Archtype that add more focus to combat manuvers.

-------------------

@Branson - didn't see that you had assisted, thank you for the +2. Not using 2 temple swords for a few reasons:

- cost for upgrading 2 weapons
- some manuvers need a free hand to perform
- I tend to use or have potions, alchemical items, ect. these require free hand to retrieve and use. I didn't was to add a colexity of trying to pick up weapon after dropping it to use these items
- at lvl 4, damage with unarmed is same as temple sword
- fluff, I don't picture my character as fighting with 2-weapons (besides unarmed strikes)

I meant why not attack twice with the sword in your flurry instead of using fist once.9

no reason, I guess mechanically it would work by RAW. I just picture a FoB as multiple different attack sources instead of the same weapon twice.

Your right though, I could do 2 with the single sword.

Ah, yes the misunderstanding was due to having read threads on monks & claws, where people said 1 limb couldn't be used for both an unarmed and claws in 1 round.

Hence

I don't believe natural weapons can be used in a flurry, only unarmed strike or monk weapons. Could be wrong. I'll check the FAQ
