Game Master Paladin of Baha-who?

Discussion Thread

I would like to know what peeps are bringing so that I can fill gaps if possible. I have a Psychic and melee Hunter in range.

Luurg is a melee, tanky alchemist. Outdoorsy.

Hello everyone, please post the following in this thread:

Player Name:
Character name:
Character number:
Faction:
Day job (roll if you want to):
Anything unique or notable about your character that you need me to know:

Player Name: Massee
Character name: Luurg Murkdweller
Character number: 202046-5
Faction: The Exchange
Day job (roll if you want to): Take 10 + Crafter's Fortune on Craft Alchemy for a 30.
Anything unique or notable about your character that you need me to know: Luurg imbibes his extracts and mutagens and such using fruit as the medium. He also speaks in broken common and is fun to be around! He's also got some crit ignoring abilities and fast healing 5 twice a day. Also uses the diehard line and lingering spirit for extra gas in the tank.

Player Name: Saashaa
Character name: Uzziah Potus
Character number: 78886-18
Faction: Sovereign Court
Day job (roll if you want to): N/A (Sadly, running a cult doesn't have a DJ check)
Anything unique or notable about your character that you need me to know:
Harrow Chosen increases CL of divination spells I cast by 2 when used as an additional focus component. Also, I use Intensify Spell on Mind Thrust 1 to increase the max dice to 10 (instead of 5).

Enchanting Courtesan, a prestige class, allows me to cast enchantment and divination spells secretly. I roll bluff vs their sense motive. If I'm using material components or focus components I must also roll sleight of hand vs their perception.

I wanted to get started today, but the rest of the players haven't checked in. I'll have to send some messages to the others and let them know to come to the game.

Player name: caster
Character name: Ezren the Lesser
Character number: 341348-2
Faction: Scarab Sages
Day job: Hmmm... I'm not trained in any craft, perform, or profession checks... Pregen skill ranks are already allocated...
Anything unique or notable: Just the pregen wizard.

GM: Any specific tagline format you'd like us to use? If not, I'll just do something reasonable.

You mean the status line? Just imitate the format of Uzziah's or Luurgh's.

Hi all, I just found out that I've made in into this game. Excited and looking forward to it but it will probably be a day or two before I have all my info in my profile (this is the first time I'm playing this particular PC in PbP). Will do my best not to slow things down. Thanks.

Player Name: Abraham Z.
Character name: Tull
Character number: 100198-11
Faction: Silver Crusade
Day job (roll if you want to): Profession (Gladiator): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Anything unique or notable about your character that you need me to know:

* Tull has one level of bloodrager and usually will go into a rage at the start of each combat. He has the Mad Magic feat so he can still cast his warpriest spells when in a rage.

* The bloodrager/id rager archetype gives him the dutiful strike ability, which gives him benefits when attacking whomever last attacked him. Unless there's a good reason to do otherwise, he'll therefore almost always attack the attacker who last targeted him, so I may have to ask you which that was if it's not clear.

* He sometimes prepares the Face of the Devourer spell which includes the language "This transformation does not interfere with the target’s senses or its ability to breathe, though it might prevent it from speaking" but it depends on whether or not that will prevent him from being able to cast other spells. The spell itself doesn't give any guidance about this so differently GMs have ruled differently and I'm fine with whatever you rule, but just asking up front so I can decide whether or not to prep the spell.

You are planning on having this game completed before Game Day starts correct? Luurg is committed to both sessions so I wanted to just double check on that.

One question GM: The chronicle sheet is applied to our actual PC when the PC is 5th level if we play a Pregen, right?

Thanks

Yes to both Luurg and Noral. Pregen-ONLY scenarios/modules may be applied as soon as the PC is in tier. This is not a pregen-only module.

Stugbu has not responded to my message or checked in here. If he hasn't responded by tomorrow I'll go to the waitlist.

Tull, please go ahead and make an in-character post in the gameplay thread so we can get started.

As for Face of the Devourer, it seems strange to me for a priest of Desna to be casting a Rovagug-associated spell, but it doesn't say specifically that it would prevent spellcasting.

Sorry for the delay - been a hectic few days. But I should be ready to roll now.

And thanks for pointing out the association of Face of the Devourer with Rovagug - I had never noticed that before. I'll drop it from his prep list and prep something else.

That crows joke was great, btw. I completely didn't get it until Luurg pointed it out. XD

I'm quite enjoying playing Ezren. Normally, I would make a character I consider fancier and more optimized but it's fun working with something simpler. It makes me take the time to describe the simple little things, like using my component pouch, etc.

The most enjoyable characters are the ones with less firepower and more 'character'.

Reading through your character I find it odd they didn't replace his craft wand and scribe scroll feats to something PFS legal. At least they gave him fireball :)

Yeah there's a lot of weird stuff about him. Especially all those off ability scores. He just screams "pregen."

These pregens were not built with PFS specifically in mind.

I do enjoy playing him! Nice and simple! Good flavor. Also, an image of Ezren inspired my first PF character ever, a NG wizard who found life hard with his party of CNs. XD

Ya I can imagine he would. Its hard to play a CN character in PFS with all the rules about cooperating and working as a team. CG makes more sense most of the time.

You can just move it out of the way and then move it back.

"Want to just stay being bad?"

HAHAHA! I love the dialogue our orc buddies bring us!

Hey friends, so I goofed and just realized that I've already played this module! I'm sorry that it took me so long but when I played it before it was at a con and it was super noisy, so I couldn't hear a lot of what was going on. In any case, the GM has kindly allowed me to use one of my replays to play again but since I had actually played this with Tull, I have to switch to another PC. So "Tull" is still with you, but his mechanical elements are now all drawn from the level 4 Warpriest pregen, and I'll be applying credit for the scenario to another PC. Sorry for any confusion this causes and basically I'm still with you for the scenario, but "Tull's" abilities are now somewhat different (because I'm now playing the pregen).

Doesn't bother me in the least.

Totally fine!! ;-)

Sounds fine to me!

I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for my character's general rudeness and lying. It does serve a purpose. I assure you that this is not a reflection of me as a player, I am just playing a character.

;-) No worries!! I know how awkward it is to play such a character!

I'm loving it. Everyone knows OOC there's shady s~$& going down (or if you didn't you do now), but you're all playing your in-character knowledge accurately. In character, Lex Avai is just hoping no one manages to get high enough perception to notice his attempted-stealthy SLAs...

Haha. I haven't been reading the spoilers and am entirely intrigued!

Hey all. I won't be posting for a few more hours. Busy day.

@GM, I wasn't quite sure how to handle the resources that Tull had already used before becoming Tull-Oloch, but I was down 6 hp and had used 1 fervor and 1 1st level spell (and a second as well, but that was a long-term buff that is no longer relevant since Tull-Oloch doesn't have it), so I've marked those as the resources used by my new PbP persona. Let me know if you see any issues.

That's fine, since you're using a character that is the same class, just mark the equivalent daily resources as used.

Done.

The pregen warpriest does have a wand, but it has only 6 charges.

Oops, I missed that. If you’ll allow, I’ll use it instead so that Kyra still has her spell.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

A good point. Sorry for being presumptuous.

No worries. Keeping track of all these things is, well, complicated. This last foe is supposed to be tricksy.

Disclaimer: I am having a blast.

The enemies so far have been disappointingly beat stick solution heavy. That is what I get for hyper-specializing, but still a little disappointed.

Well finding this mug and figuring out how to deal with him doesn't feel like it's going to be beat stick heavy...

Sorry I don't know what you mean. I don't think I have either. But here's a reroll in case I do. :)

[Dice=Reroll dispel!]1d20+5

Regarding Rerolls. See below: I have more than a dozen of these qualifying items and associate them to one of my games. ;-) I assume everyone of us has something at home that qualifies.

PATHFINDER SOCIETY ROLEPLAYING GUILD GUIDE page 37

Rerolls
A player using any of the items from the reroll list on
paizo.com/organizedplay/perks can reroll one d20 roll
during the course of that scenario. For modules and
Adventure Paths, players may reroll one d20 per Chronicle
sheet. Recognize that this reroll must happen before the
original result is determined and the player must use the
reroll result, even if the result is lower. Game Masters are
also invited to wear Pathfinder Society organized play
shirts, but they gain no additional benefits other than
supporting Pathfinder.

Sorry I don't have any of those yet. Just started PFS and haven't bought any paizo products yet. Maybe I should get something! Rerolls sound great! Especially in this case...

OK, then, the roll stands as it is. Unfortunately, the darkness was cast at CL 7, so it fails.

Yep! I figured. If this were my wizard, that would have been a haste I was casting but the pregen poses unique challenges! Keeping things interesting. :)

As I was composing my post, I was rolling for the Babau as well, and rolled two sneak attacks and a crit, doing a lot of damage. Then I remembered it wasn't his turn. You guys are lucky.

Are we still likely to finish this by the start of GameDay? Luurg is reserved for other games just fyi.

Liking this combat. Its been a while since I've been in a tight PFS combat. I only wish Luurg could roll decently for once!

Yes, we should be able to finish this, this is the only remaining fight. Stugbu really does have her on the ropes. Her only hope is to drop him before he takes her down.
