If I'd like a character to Learn a Spell between sessions, should I make the rolls in gameplay in this lodge?

Personally I would do it at the end of one scenario, or at the beggining of the next one and ask GM to put it on chronicle so that there is a paper trail ;)

That’s the best idea I’ve gotten so far. Ty.

Thanks both of you for the feedback. Not being downtime (without the shorthand feat), it was unclear what the proper time/place was.

Is this the right place to ask for Scenarios/Quests/Bounties exchange?
If that's the case I would ask for Scenario 1-00: Origin of the Open Road.
I can offer these right now:
- 1-02: The Mosquito Witch
- 1-08: Revolution on the Riverside
- 3-01: Year of Shattered Sanctuaries
- 3-02: The East Hill Haunting
- 3-03: Echoes of Desperation
- 3-04: The Devil-Wrought Disappearance
- 3-05: Inheritor's Rite
- 3-06: Struck by Shadows
- 3-07: The Locked Lodge
- 3-08: Foundation's Price
- 3-09: The Secluded Siege
- 3-10: Delve the Pallid Depths
- 3-11: No Time for Treason
- 3-12: Fury's Toll
- 3-13: Guardian's Covenant
- 3-14: The Tomb Between Worlds
- 3-15: Cavern of the Sundered Song
- 3-16: Escape from Oppara
- 3-17: Dreams of a Dustbound Isle
- 3-18: Dacilane Academy's Delightful Disaster
- 3-19: Mean Streets of Shadow Absalom
- 5-14: Poisonous Council
- 6-13: All That Glitters
- Q1: The Sandstone Secret
- The Whitefang Wyrm
If anyone's interested just let me know.

Also, may I be added to the Cottonseed Lodge Regional Support Program for 2025 as a GM? Thank you.
Done. And you are quite welcome! Always glad to have more GMs!

Hello!
I've signed up to play in a bounty. My character is registered, and I'm trying to follow a guide someone shared with me on what to do next, but I'm getting lost very quickly.
I'm playing Helvi. She's an exemplar - level 1. She is registered. She's my 2041. How do I give her an avatar? When I go into aliases, I'm not finding a way to select avatars for individual characters.
Help would be greatly appreciated!

From the summary tab under My Organized Play, click the edit button next to a character.
From there you can change their avatar and default faction.
You can also edit their profile, but it's easier just to do that from their profile page. And you can edit their name, unless you've posted 10 times using that profile--that locks it.
For profiles that aren't Organized Play characters, you can do that from the account settings page.

A quick peak makes it look like you have Helvi's avatar up and running. Let us know if you have more questions. Happy gaming!

So, it seems I can't setup a Gameplay thread for my table, can someone please help me? In the settings it shows I already have a linked Gameplay thread, but it's like it doesn't exist (I can post in there).

GM Diaz |

Is there a specific thread for "Scenario Exchange"? I'm interested in experiencing the old metaplots and can offer to GM other in exchange.

It looks like you created the thread, posted to it, attached it to the campaign, and then deleted your first post. If that's the case I don't think you can do anything to recover from it; you'll have to engage Paizo Customer Service.
(If I'm wrong, I'd appreciate a correction. One of the new campaigns I just joined has the same problem )

EbonFist |

That's correct. GM's should not dot and delete their first posts because it just disappears and there's nothing to reply to.
There's no specific thread for scenario exchanges but the recruitment thread would be the most appropriate place, here.

DM Carbide |

You can unset the Discussion thread from the campaign, if you want to salvage it, and create a new Gameplay thread to pair with it.

Just a heads up for my tables -- I'll be attempting the exam I failed last year this Friday so my posting might slow down a bit...

I have a good feeling about this time around :) Good luck!

Exam is over. A third attempt will not be necessary. It's not a Natural 20, but I'll take it.
240/300 (passing is 210)
I can live again... :)
It may be the second time around... but it's still pretty intense! :)

Congratulations!
And never forget what they call the person who graduates medical school with the lowest score:
Doctor.

Congrats! That's got to be a load off.

If you have a druid character that has both an animal companion and a pet (from the Pet feat), can the pet be used in combat in place of the animal companion if the situation requires it?
And yes - congrats.

Apologies in advance if my posting slows down. I just learned yesterday that my martial arts instructor since 2022 passed away suddenly. I'm ok, just a bit drained and in shock.

GM redeux |

If you have a druid character that has both an animal companion and a pet (from the Pet feat), can the pet be used in combat in place of the animal companion if the situation requires it?
yes, keyword 'in place of' since you would have to choose which one to count towards your pawn limit. If the pet stays in your PCs grid then it might be able to count under the 'creatures that don't count towards your pawn limit.'

Can someone more experienced at playing Thaumaturges look at this please? Who's right? I always saw it as using Esoteric to do an RK using the listed DC. Since nobody's ever corrected me before, I just ran with it...

The way I've played it for my thaumaturge (and those I have GMed) is to use the single roll for both the Exploit Vulnerability and the subsequent Recall Knowledge. So this is a rare case where the risk of a crit fail on the recall knowledge is minimal as they already know the roll is decent if the exploit succeeded.
I have had some GMs require the exploit roll to be secret - that's not really stated either way. I go open rolls for EV on my GM tables.

The relevant part of Diverse Lore says that if your Exploit Vulnerability is a success, compare it to the RK DC. If that's a success or crit success, gain info as if you succeeded on the RK.
There's no second roll to RK.
Normally these DCs are the same, but occasionally the RK is higher due to rarity (+2 uncommon, +5 rare +10 unique.)
---
So lets look at a lvl 5 Uncommon creature.
The DC to Exploit Vulnerability is 20.
The RK DC is 22.
Possible results:
30+: Crit Success on Exploit (Gain info as though success on RK)
22-29: Success on Exploit. (Gain info as though success on RK)
20-21: Success on Exploit (Do not gain info, as RK DC isn't met)
13-19: Failure on Exploit (No RK info)
12-: Crit Fail on Exploit (No RK info)

Well the dispute is whether Exploit Vulnerability is a secret check or not. I always thought it was, but now I'm not sure... (nobody's ever called me out on this until now!) :)
