Congrats to the new members of Five Island! Thank you for all your hard work.

And thank you Alex and OJ Pinkerton for the honor of the campaign service coin. It was hugh surprise when OJ presented the coin during Nukecon at the 4-99 PFS special. Even bigger than the surprise of the special firing with four full tables!

I am humbled by the recognition.

In the past there were threads to setup parties for the specials.

Who is interested doing this for this year's Gencon?

If interested, put your character class and level.

I have a 8th level mechanic or a 7th level solarian for 5-99 looking for a party

Can an android take a versatile heritage like Tiefling or Aasimar?

Both are born, whereas an android is made, not born.

How does this item work? Do we get it for free or is there a cost to be paid, either up front or over the course of adventures?

As noted in the product page, the Max credits section has level 9-10 and 11-12. The credits earned appears to be correct for a 5 to 8 adventure.

Would like confirmation of this if possible.

This coming Saturday, the Omaha Organized Play lodge will be supporting our local convention. They run one-day events through out the year and the next one is 3/20/21.

We will be hosting 4 tables for the event. At 10am, we will be offing PFS2e 1-06, Lost on the Spirit Road, and I will be running SFS 1-98 Into the Perplexity: The First Trail.

At 5pm, will be offing PFS2e 2-06 The Crushing Wave, and I will run a second table of SFS 1-98 Into the Perplexity: The First Trail.

All tables will be online and will be hosted on the Omaha Organized Play Discord server. We will be using Roll20.

If interested, we can be found on Warhorn. Just look for Omaha Pathfinder.

Hope you see you there!

I am prepping this adventure and wonder how to handle a trap.

There is a fireball rune on a footlocker in Level 5-6. The rune is an invisible, spherical magical sensor with a 20' radius. And the trap reacts with a trigger of "A living creature enters the sensor area." The hut is in a 10x10 square.

How does this rune not be exploded by people just walking by the hut?

How can a PC even have a chance to see the rune considering it is in a hut and they can see the rune until they get instead. A Thievery check can erase the rune, but to do that you have touch it, thus within the 20' sensor. By by then, the rune has exploded because they had to travel 10 feet just to get to the outside of the hut. Can dispell magic the rune, but again, you have to see it and if it is inside a hut, you can't.

This is a bad trap in such a small area. I see now way for the party not to cause it to explode.

This trap is a scenario breaker.

What I can I do with this?

Liberty's Edge 3/5 5/5 **** Venture-Captain, Nebraska—Omaha

Prepping this adventure. Looks like a fun one!

However looking at the scored earth scouts, they have composite shortbows with the volley trait.

Is that correct? Or are they using Longbows?

Damage is correct for composite shortbow so I plan not to use the volley trait.

Also, in levels 7-8, having basilisks means that almost all characters except 5th level characters will be immune to the petrifying gaze ability. This makes the encounter pretty much a cake walk.

Woot! Welcome aboard! Can't wait to play your adventure!

My son and I had a great time playing the special! My Aspis Hunter was a little disappointed but his first round dropping of the final boss with his ranger archer made his night!

In the subject, does one need to transfer runes when upgrading? Specifically I am upgrading a staff to greater but have +1 and striking on the first staff.

When will the AcP boon be available for tables for GMing the adventure?

I know there has been a lot of challenges with the website, but when can we expect this update to be done?

Liberty's Edge 3/5 5/5 **** Venture-Captain, Nebraska—Omaha

I have been preping this adventure and I am really disappointed that a major NPC did not get any art work. Why no pictures of Ogthup?? But we get a new picture of Bjersig when there has been several of him provide in more recent adventures.

In C6, Card Games and Ball Games, under Cards it is listed that Ded Shurin is one of the players but under the DCs, it gives a modifier of Vera and no modifier for Ded. I will assume the modifier is intended for Ded as Vera is outside playing Hockey.

Overall, I have found this adventure to be fun and hope my players will enjoy it!

To Tonya, Alex, Linda, and a bunch of others that I know I have missed, PLEASE add back XP and Gold tracking (Beginning and Ending) to the chronicles!!!

These are VITALLY IMPORTANT information for tracking a character's progress.

Please "add as a favorite" my post if you agree that the tracking boxes should be on the chronicles.

And of course, respectful discussion is encouraged.

Does the definition of "Target" change when casting a 3-action Heal?

This came up during a discussion on whether a character or NPC is affected by a 3-action Heal. It was part of a larger discussion on Godless Healing. The discussion the Organized Play forum cans be found here.

For reference, here is the Heal spell.

Heal CRB pg. 343 wrote:

Targets 1 willing living creature or 1 undead

You channel positive energy to heal the living or damage the undead. If the target is a willing living creature, you restore 1d8 Hit Points. If the target is undead, you deal that amount of positive damage to it, and it gets a basic Fortitude save. The number of actions you spend when Casting this Spell determines its targets, range, area, and other parameters.

Single Action: The spell has a range of touch.
Two Actions: The spell has a range of 30 feet. If you're healing a living creature, increase the Hit Points restored by 8.
Three Actions: You disperse positive energy in a 30-foot emanation. This targets all living and undead creatures in the burst.

Note, I am only talking about living creatures.

I believe that the definition of Target does not change when casting a 3-action Heal. A character or NPC can choose not to be a willing recipient of the spell and thus would not receive any healing. This is also true for 1 or 2 action Heals.

What the Target is does not change when it moves from 1 Target to multiple Targets.

Others do not believe this and I hope they will bring their thoughts to this discussion.

I hope Mark Seifter will step-in and give us guidance on this question.

I ran this at PaizoCon.

It was a fun adventure. As a GM, you will need to understand how climbing and swimming works because both can come into play.

Received an email about updating my privacy settings. What is this? Is it from Paizo? If so, why is it being sent?

In a different thread, the point was made that with 2e, GMs would not get a reward for their prep time for tables that did not fire.

At conventions, where race boons could earned, a table not making would not lead to the lose of the race boon. But with 2e, if a table did not fire, the GM would not earn any AcP. This is also a problem for non-convention tables.

So to our Campaign Leadership, please consider something that will allow GMs to earn AcP points for tables that don't fire.

My suggest would be 1 (or 2 points for cons) to acknowledge the extra time and effort that a GM puts into prepping a table.

And if this is a topic that is already being discussed, thank you!

The Omaha Organized Play Lodge will be hosting Pathfinder (both 1e and 2e), Starfinder, and PACG games at Pretzcon X.

Let me know if there are any questions. We are looking for both GMs and Players!

Hi,

I have enough reported tables in Starfinder Society to have 2 novas. However, only 1 nova is being displayed.

Thank you,

Congrats to the new 5-stars and 5-novas!!!

Will the assignment of tier for conventions also be corrected? I assume it will but needed to ask.

17 people marked this as FAQ candidate. 5 people marked this as a favorite.

The purpose of this thread is to ask that Archives of Nethys be declared as the official source for Organized Play Legality.

Currently, the Archives of Nethys website is the official source of the online rules for both editions of Pathfinder and Starfinder. However, to determine what is legal for PFS1e and SFS, one needs to check Additional Resources and Campaign Clarifications that are located on the Paizo website. To determine what is legal for PFS2e, one must check the guide found on the Organized Play Foundation website.

I know that there are a lot of people who believe that Archives of Nethys is the authorized source of legality for Organized Play. But as far as I know, no such declaration has been made.

I ask if you agree with me than flag this post as needing a FAQ.

If you don't agree, please provide information about why you don't agree.

I believe that the Archives of Nethys is not part of Paizo Inc. and is control by a third party. For Archives of Nethys to become the official source for Organized Play legality, it would likely require a greater level of commitment from the website administrators that they may not wish to have.

Planning has begun for the 4th Annual Omaha Pathfinder Charity Con (formally known as the Boys and Girls Club Con). We are moving to be more flexible and select the charities that we will work to benefit.

So this year, we will be benefiting Mission 22, a charity that works to help prevent the high number of suicides among our veterans. The Omaha lodge recently lost a gamer and we want to do something to honor him and maybe help others to continue enjoying their lives.

We will offer the latest Second Edition adventures as well as a selection of First Edition, Starfinder, and Adventure Card scenarios.

We are in need of Players and GMs so if interested, drop me a line!

Stay tuned for me information.

When can we expect to see website updates related to 2e? I have enough GM credit to have a Glyph but that is something that the website does not currently support.

I posted in this forum because the question is specific to Society.

I am curious why the two items I ordered could not be shipped together? This doubled my shipping costs.

Since I have a new position this year I figured it would be a good idea to download my ID card before GenCon.

Since I am a VC now, I see that my email address has been added. Completely ok with this.

However, my stars/novas do not show up.

Anyone else having this problem?

Should I post on the website feedback?

I know it is the week of GenCon so not expecting a resolution right away but wanted to try and let the powers that be know about the problem.

Liberty's Edge 3/5 5/5 **** Venture-Captain, Nebraska—Omaha

Excellent....

Liberty's Edge 3/5 5/5 **** Venture-Captain, Nebraska—Omaha

I hope this will be allowed. If not, I understand.

The Omaha Lodge is doing well. I have not heard of any of our players being directly impacted.

This being said, a great number of people in the Omaha area have been. Please help if you can through the available channels.

Thanks..

Does a weretouched shifter get the nautural attacks of an aspect at 4th or when the aspect stated it is received?

For example, weretouched frog. Does the character get the tongue grab at 4th or at 8th per the aspect?

Hi,

I am a new Venture Officer for Society Play. I have signed the NDA and received notice that Tonya has also signed.

I have not been granted access to the scenarios yet.

Is there anything I need to do on my end or does Tonya need to finalize something?

I ran a table of the Starfinder Special at GenCon 2017 on Thursday Night. It was 1-00, Salvations End.

I have not seen this table reported for me. As we were wrapping up, I know at least one person took a picture of the reporting sheet.

If you played and took a picture of the reporting sheet, please contact me so I can see if it was my table.

Thank you!
