Fane of Fangs in Core?

[Nefreet]

I recently played Fane of Fangs, a 5th level Quest that uses pregens from Pathfinder Unchained.

After getting our Chronicles I mentioned I'd be willing to run it during one of my "Core Sundays" sessions, but was told that since the pregens are all non-Core that there could never be a Core session of Fane of Fangs.

Is this true? And if it is, can there ever be Core sessions of other non-Core quests or modules, like the We Be Goblins trilogy? Or Risen From the Sands?

[Starglim]

Pre-gens of CRB classes, even if they include non-Core material

So Fane of Fangs and Risen from the Sands may be out, but 3 of 4 We Be Goblins pre-gens are OK.

[Drogos]

Can't you run Risen from the Sands without pregens though?

Even though they're a non-Core race?

Mike Brock's comment mentions non-Core "items" as being acceptable, not non-Core "material".

Given that WBG is explicitly okay, I wouldn't be surprised if Fane of Fangs is fine as well.

Core Campaign only restricts what your character can access. If you run a module with pregens, you can make it a core game and apply the credit to core characters.

[Nefreet]

Ok, cool. Thanks for the confirmation.

I believe there was a ruling that only core pregens could be used in core campaign mode. WBG is explicitly exempted from this since you must play goblins for it, but I'm not sure on Fane of Fangs.

I would imagine that any scenario / quest where the party has to play as pregens (WBG, Fane of Fangs, Serpents Rise) are all okay to play in Core Mode, even if the pregens are not in fact classes from the CRB.

Just to make sure everyone's clear on what's been said in the past, here are the rulings made so far:

Can we assign a playing of "We Be Goblins" to a Core character?

WBG = Yes

Quote:

What pre-gens can we use for "Risen from the Sands"?

Core Pregens only (aka..the classes found in the CRB)

[GreySector]

FWIW there is a Core Campaign checkbox on the Fane of Fangs chronicle.

[Wolfspirit]

I imagine this will have to be handled in a case by case basis, but a safe assumption is that if a module or scenario ONLY a allows a specified set of pregens, then the pregens that are available can be used. The We Be Goblins* or Serpent's Rise would be examples of this.

If it's permitted to mix non- pregen and pregen characters (Risen from the Sands), it's likely only Core pregens will be allowed. If nothing else, this drastically reduces the chance of "I scribed <non-core spell> from the scroll that <hypothetical module pregen> had" abuse.

*:

Yes, I realize that a finite number of Goblin Boon PCs out there are an exception, but We Be Goblins is pregen only for everyone except for roughly 1 out of 100,000+ PCs :P

I am not sure if this goes here but how do you report for Fane of Fangs. I don't see it in the list of events when I create an event. Am I just overlooking it?

[Nefreet]

I guess you can't, yet.

I just asked my VC, who ran it for us a week ago, and he's still unable to report it.

[Daengren]

Sort of on this topic, what are the rewards if any for players who complete the quest? is it like other quests where these is no gold, prestige or XP?

[Nefreet]

Yup. You just get what's on the Chronicle.

I was unaware of that when I sat down to play. The Quest only took an hour, and then Chronicles were handed out.

My reaction: "Wow! That was quick. Do we... Oh, that makes sense. Darn. Oh well. Ooo! Look at the Boon!"

[Cpt_kirstov]

Quests normally don't get reported, as they do not award XP. the Silverhex quests are an exception, because in those you DO get XP.

[Nefreet]

Oh. That's a bummer.

Not much incentive to GM them then, I suppose.

[Cpt_kirstov]

Around here they are prepped for when a scenario runs in 3 hours, to fill the time before the other layers are ready to go
