[SFS] #1-05: The First Mandate (Inactive)

Game Master Psyblade

To make my life easier when it comes to filling in chronicles, if you could each put in a single post with:

Chronicle: What chronicle number this is for the character
History: What scenarios has the character completed? (or been credited with); any other chronicles (special boons etc)
Name:(the player) real name (as you have it appear on your chronicle sheets)
AKA: Character name
Faction: Characters Faction slotted
SFS: # for the character
XP: starting XP
Credits: Starting wealth you bring into the adventure. This should be the total on your previous chronicle. If you want to buy any new stuff... see further on. This is the total before you make other purchases.
Day job: Your day job skill and roll.
Reputation: Which factions you have reputations with (and how much) before participating in this scenario.
Boons: Any boons you have slotted. (you may change these after the briefing)
Purchases: Any purchases you wish to make from your initial funds, before the start of the game.

If you've still got a seat left, I know someone with a fresh level 1 who would be interested. Their character can be up tonight.

Good to see He-Who-Grinds-Social-Formalities-To-A-Halt again! Was tempted to bring Buff-Bot 9000 along but been wanting to get this character off the ground, and we already have an Envoy.

Yeah this sounds like a GREAT adventure for Mr. no subtlety to run through doesn't it?

Also GM, RUMOR HAS IT that Pact Worlds will be getting Sanctioned tomorrow. IF that turns out to be true I will be buying a Mnemonic Editor to retrain my theme and give myself the Star Knight archetype.

Did we bring two characters with no social skills to this party? That's going to be awesome.

If Pact Worlds is sanctioned in time I will end up with intimidate.

If people can add their icons to this page: the first mandate maps

I've got some noob issues I'm still trying to sort out and I hope you all can help me.

I'm still having some problems dealing with the paizo forums. The other places I've played by post on where much easier to navigate. I've got an icon set for my account, but it doesn't show up when I post as Verus. I also can't figure out how to set a tag line with character stats like Rora. I found some code for it, but I don't where to put it so that it shows up when I post. None of the help topics I've been able to find have been able to tell me where to set this stuff up. Thanks in advance.

It sounds like you've added an image to your username, not to the character alias. To change Verus' image you're going to go up to the top of the screen, click MY ACCOUNT, then click on ORGANIZED PLAY. If that doesn't work go to MY ACCOUNT and click on ACCOUNT SETTINGS, then scroll down and click the link that says ORGANIZED PLAY. once you're in there you'll see a list of your organized play characters. Beside their information you'll see a pair of buttons, one says Edit, and you might also see on that says Delete. Click EDIT. This will open full options for that alias. The second option or so will allow you to add a character image. You'll have to do some searching to find something you like. This image is only for that character. Once you're done and have select the image, be sure to click SUBMIT CHANGES before leaving your edit screen.

As for a quick stat line, once you've picked out your image and saved your alias. Head back into the EDIT section, or click on your character alias' name and you'll find yourself at his profile, then click EDIT. At the top you'll see a long list of bars to fill out for things like Full Name, Race, Class Levels, and so on. This is how you'll get a quick-stat line. The first thing to show up under your name is going to be whatever you input under GENDER. There, I've typed my gender race and class. The next thing that will show up is going to be whatever you enter under RACE. That's where I've typed in my SP, HP, RP, Acs, Saves, Initiative, and Social Skills. The third and final line that will show up under your name will be whatever you input in the CLASS box. That's where I've typed out my skills, speed and active conditions. For other characters that where you'll want to keep track of spells per day, or limited use abilities. That sort of thing. What you decide to put in those boxes is up to you, but it's only those three boxes that will show up under your name: GENDER, then RACE, then CLASS. When you're done click SUBMIT CHANGES down at the bottom. Makes sense?

Yeah... the site certainly has some... user-unfriendliness to it.

For your character icon, you'll need to go into your Organized Play character list (where you go to create new PFS/SFS characters) and edit the character there. An option to select an avatar will be shown there.

For stat bars (which I haven't yet done on this character) edit the profile for your character and put the relevant lines in the Race or Class entries. Those will show up under your name in each post like how He-Who-Grinds-Diamonds-To-Rust and Rora are currently displaying.

Welcome to PbP on the Paizo boards! Hope everything goes well enough that you keep on coming back.

Edit: RatlingRora beat me to it.

That's exactly what I needed! I can't believe there are two separate edit screens for that. Thanks for the help.

Oh hey, I just figured out the day job thing.
Profession (mercenary): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

His clothing gives him +1 to this roll if I'm not mistaken. If that's not the case, then subtract 1 from the result.

Eddv, permission to annoy the living daylights out of Grinds for the entire scenario?

It is Grinds' default setting :D

This is my first SFS game. Can someone give me a quick rundown on Boons? From the Society Guide, I thought they were rewards from completed scenarios. Since this is my first SFS game, I assume that I have none.

This is your first SFS game? Well then!

Welcome to Starfinder!

That boon can be applied to your first Starfinder Society character and has some useful stuff on it. Also, each SFS character begins with one free faction boon which represents the faction you belong to. Unlike Pathfinder society, you can belong to more than one faction, however you can only represent one in a given scenario, and the faction boons beyond the first need to be purchased with fame. Since it looks like you registered this character as a member of the Exo-Guardians, your free faction boon would be Exo-Guardians champion. Once the mission briefing is completed, everyone gets a chance to declare which boons they are using, and this includes declaring which faction you are representing today.

GM, Pact Worlds was just sanctioned - would you allow me to purchase and use a mnemonic enhancer prior to getting started so I can change myself?

We have TECHNICALLY started, so its fully your call.

This is your first SFS game? Well then!

Thanks! I appreciate the patience.

So, I would be slotting Exo-Guardians as a faction boon and Welcome to Starfinder: Tattoo of the Starfinder as a slotless boon if I'm understanding this correctly. Then based on the outcome of the adventure, I might have more to slot for the next game I use this character in.

Verus, I will sign the welcome to starfinder boon over the next few days so it will be fully useable for you (if someone else needs it, let me know!)

Grinds: You mentioned it before so you are fine to get it

Ok grinds has been all mnemonic'd up and is ready to go.

Anyone here who has played The Commencement - we are owed 244 credits because the credits on the chronicle sheet were updated. As such GM, my initial credits for this chronicle will be 1073 credits (with now have 600 credits spent between the two serums of healing and the mnemonic enhancer).

yeah, saw it come across last night as I was working.

@verus: here is your Welcome to Starfinder Boon

@verus: here is your Welcome to Starfinder Boon

Awesome! Thanks for the help and the patience with the new kid.

The newbie in your game today is the GM at your table tomorrow.

Hopefully.

Guys, we probably have only a few rounds left.

A little planning would be good! ;-) Quig has the following skills and could support with aid another. Who should he support?

Acrobatics +3 (+8 to tumble through the space of a creature of Medium or larger size), Athletics +3, Computers +8 (1 rank), Engineering +10 (1 rank), Perception +5, Stealth +5, Survival +7

@GM: Can we aid another if a skill can only be used trained? We can hit the DC10 also untrained but just want your confirmation that you would be ok with that.

I am fine with it, seeing as you have time to talk this over some pointers and tips can be handed over to ppl in hopes of influencing the last one

Just an FYI. I should hopefully post regularly but I might be slow or late the next few days. I'm having outpatient surgery done tomorrow. I should be fine though. Thanks for your patience in advance.

Best of luck, Schlak. Take your time.

Quit shrinking grinds; Haan are large sized.

Quit shrinking grinds; Haan are large sized.

Oops... My bad, never realized they were large, sorry!

Good God, these dice are killing me.

Post will come later tonight, creature is dead but my PC died on me so have to get the work PC later today

Also, Wednesday I won't be able to post, I am being flown over to cork, Ireland for a job interview (if that goes well I will be moving to Ireland end of this month :) )

I just found out my neighbourhood won't have power tomorrow, so I won't be online. Bot me if needed. Thanks!

Oh, nice! Best of luck, Psyblade!

Zarg and I wish you luck psyblade. I have only been to Ireland once but it is beautiful.rora that's not fun. I hope it goes well.

thanks!

interview went well, now to wait to see if I get the offer

good luck with the power outtage rora!

Hey, guys. My power's going to be on down again tomorrow. Hopefully this is the last time. Bot me if necessary. Thanks.

No problem. I hope it stays on.

Sorry for the delay, I've been slammed with overtime recently. I don't see the First Speaker on the map. It was Verus' intention to go guard them. Do we need to search for them first or is their location obvious?
