So is this the tab for posting PF2 musters?

Technically I think you'd go with the Recruitment tab, but you're in the right ballpark-- and some people like to discuss rather than jump straight to posting a link and saying "Have at it" anyway :P

”Red boots!!! a Human hiding in the corner shouts out.

Nope. Nope. Nope.

Doh! I thought had posted this in the Recruitment tab, but it didn't show up until some time after I submitted it, so I couldn't check. I thought the post had gotten eaten.

Soooo according to James Jacobs, we are only “a few weeks away” from the start of the PF2 playtest of the new APG classes, including my PF1 favorite, the oracle (with the investigator a close second). If anyone is planning to run a PbP scenario for the new classes during the playtest, I would very much like to play an oracle (hopefully Paizo will leave it open long enough for a PbP game to run). Maybe we could even pull together a table of oracles, if they're as versatile as they are in PF1, but if not, a group of one PC in each of the new classes - Investigator, Oracle, Swashbuckler, Witch - would make a remarkably well-rounded party.

Big fan of Oracles AND Swashes! Happy to play in either case :P

I will likely be building an Oracle for the next APG playtest, assuming that it goes like the COM playtest did for Starfinder, where they let us build our own 'pregens'. I really hope they do.

Oracles, Investigators, Swashbucklers were all great fun. Witches were never my thing, but boy were they effective in a party.

I'll probably be giving investigator a shot since I loved the concept but not the mechanics of it in 1e

I'm totally looking forward to both oracles (oracles are mah JAM) and witches, though I don't know that I'll have time to really participate in the playtest.

Guess I'll have to live vicariously through the rest of you :)

I love 1e witches, and I hope they keep their role as master debuffers. I'm frankly surprised they're doing Oracles, since you can already do a spontaneous divine caster easily via sorcerer. I hope they really lean into the mystery/revelation thing in 2e.

^Me too. I'm also curious to see which mysteries (or whatever they might call it now) make appearances first. Normally I don't do character repeats but I'm totally doing a 2e version of Corona when/if they put the Time mystery back in :D

I'm glad my favorite the investigator is coming back! And I've loved the ideas of witches and oracles in PF1 though I couldn't really make ones I was happy with.

I loved my life oracle. She was one of my favorites. Never could get a witch off the ground. Personally, I thought they were OP and everyone built the same type.

Excited to see the swashbuckler make a return.

The only one of these I have really played in PFS1 is the swashbuckler and I have two very different ones that I enjoy playing.

I am looking forward to trying all four of these classes. The others have always looked like fun too.

My -01 is a time oracle, and I love playing him. He’s level 10 now and has really come into his own.

I've had a lot of fun with this Flame Oracle. Covetous curse is great.

Playtest classes are up. I’ve only had time to skim the oracle so far. I love the flavor, but the curses are brutal. Can’t wait to start building one tonight.

Are they legal for use in Society?

Are they legal for use in Society?

We are waiting for the Organized Play team to make their announcement regarding this.

Looks like my preference for Oracles and Swashbucklers is going to continue strong into PF2! Just gonna wait for kitsune and gunslingers and I’ll be all set :D

Guys, speaking of character options, what does one have to do to play advanced classes in PbP gameplay? I read something about unlocking them but I don't really understand.

Also, in the past I used the SRD as a source but it seems that's illegal for PFS PbP, am I right?

We are still awaiting further clarification from the organized play team. Once they put something out then we should know a bit more.

Regarding the use of the SRD - many of us make great use of it all the time and as a GM it is invaluable.

In Paizo Organized Play (PFS or SFS) you are required to own the source for anything used in your character. This can be a PDF, it does not need to be a physical copy, but you must be able to show your GM the rules by which you play. At the moment, for PFS2 we only have the CRB so it is easy. As more sources are made available you will need to track what sources you are using and have proof of ownership if requested.

One known exception to the above rule is if the full details of an item or character feature option are documented on a chronicle sheet then that is considered your resource (make sure to have the copy of the chronicle available if needed).

The Pathfinder Society Guide to Play (Second Edition) is the place to find sanctioned sources.

When you take Magical Crafting you get to choose 4 formulas to start with. Two questions:

(1) Does it matter which ones or are you limited to Level + 1?

(2) For a spellcaster, do you have to choose Scrolls as one of the choices in order to scribe scrolls?

Opps...just re-read the Feat. You get 4 common formulas that are 2L or lower.

The second one I am still interested in.

Alas, no playtest for Organized Play.

Your only option is a very fast campaign mode run of Fall of Plaguestone -- which is a pretty long adventure to do in a PBP in a month.

Hmm

^Disappointing but not really surprising, given the short time span for testing. At least now we know!

It would be a hell of a speed run to do Plaguestone in a month of PbP. I think the F2F Plaguestone game I'm in is going to end up somewhere north of 30 hours of game time.

Yeah, we're heading into session 4 tonight and we'll probably just finish chapter 1.

I'll admit that I am disappointed as well by this decision. I was hoping to tryout my -2002 as a goblin oracle. I think I may create her as a placeholder and wait for the option, or I may give up and create her as a bard. I wanted someone who was a storyteller, but also attuned to the gods. The idea of an oracle curse on her would have been kind of awesome...

If anyone needs additional help or has any additional inquiries please don't be afraid to shoot out a PM to the VO team and we will help where we can. I will send this out to all of the lodges to try and get the word out to everyone that received a voucher.

Apologies for the inconvenience,

Question: Can you sell crafted items, magical or not, to other PC's (with a slight mark-up for your efforts of course)?

For example: My wizard is now 3L, has Expert in Crafting, took Magical Crafting feat and one of the free formulas is Jade Cat Talisman (cost 3 GP each). As a consumable, I make 4 of them. On day 4, the cost is 1.5 GP each. I make my Crafting roll. I spend 2 more days to keep the cost at 1.5 GP each. Can I then sell them to other PC's for 2 GP each?

I understand that it's just 3 GP, but I'm looking ahead at +1 runes, etc.

Fairly certain that you cannot sell items to other players and certainly not for more than listed price.

Make that 100% certain that you cannot sell to other players. However, it is not in the Guild Guide at all as far as I can tell. Add another thing that needs to be clarified to the list.

The closest you could get in PFS1 was characters providing the material components for permanent spells (such as high level heightened continual flames).

Given the odd state of the PFS2 guide, I'd assume similar restrictions as they want to avoid any side economy developing.

I would assume (and fully believe) that the OPF continues its policy of not allowing exchanges of value between players/characters.

As specifically related to the initiating question: you cannot charge service fees to other characters.

And I strongly doubt that you can craft for another player--you can craft items, loan them to another player for a session and then get them back (if they weren't consumables and consumed), but they can't put them on their sheet. Otherwise, a closed group of players could throw off the wealth-by-level by having a dedicated crafter who makes everyone's stuff at half off. Then we'll be back to having crafting be not legal again.

Is there a single pdf for the entire guide, or just the individual links for each chapter?

There are community made PDFs but the Print to PDF function is still on the To Do list.

I believe there are two PDFs in the PFS GM Shared Prep site under Pathfinder 2 / Other.

Thank you!

Can we get the online reporting link put up in the header for the lodge?

And in the meantime, can someone remind me what it is ... (yes, again).

Thanks

The Online Support Program?

PFS2 is not reported through the Online Support Program as every game of PFS2 earns Achievement Points instead of regional support or convention support.

Ahh, that is right. It is more about doing the reporting in the right manner.

Question: My Wizard purchased 2 different spells on scrolls to scribe into his book and passed the rolls. Are the scrolls destroyed in the process?

In case anyone is interested in PF1 there is a Humble Bundle going on now.

Wishing any and all of my fellow gamers who celebrate, a Merry Christmas and Hanukkah Sameach!

Happy Hanukkah to you too. :)

And Happy Holidays to everyone who celebrates.

Hmm
