DrGabe's Pathfinder Society Game (Inactive)

Game Master DrGabe

Sad thing Dorgrin, we will miss you^^

Some questions about shopping. We can only buy what´s on the always available list untill we have 5 Fame right? That means i could buy a wayfinder for 250gp, but not a ioun torch for 75gp?

That's the way I understand it.

Ok did some changes to the character. I really like gnomes, but humans have a lot of advantages as sorcerer. There is a big drop in +hit and DEX though, but i want to try it like this. After all it´s not really a blaster sorcerer and if i don´t like it i can redo it again after the module.

So i guess i´m ready for Thornkeep^^

I have a halfling sorcerer in another game and I love him. The +Dex plus the aberrant bloodline allows for a bonus to hit and a 10' reach with touch spells.
Sure humans are big and normal, but the small folks have their value as well!

I'll be getting Thornkeep ready to start soon.

I should have Jostrum rebuilt shortly. Probably just going to change archetypes, from Beastmaster to Nirmanthi Irregular.

Yeah i actually love the small folk, mostly played halflings so far in Pathfinder and the gnome here. But for a sorcerer the human favorite class bonus is too tempting. I´ll see how it works out, maybe i switch back later again. While halflings are just supercool, gnomes also have that crazy touch i like hehe.
I think if i would do another sorcerer bloodline it would probably be marid (or efreeti), taking a lot of fire (or cold) spells and changing the energytype using rime spell.

Hello everyone!

I'm the friend Pai spoke of. I look forward to playing with you, if you'd have me :)

The character would be a halfling rogue from Quadira. I'll complete the stats today, at the moment it's mostly placeholder.

Aasif Spicetongue - at your service.

A rogue! Good for us! I love throwing rogues into the grinder... to disable it.

Welcome!

Aasif- welcome to the group.
When you have a chance to complete your character, please post a link to him.

Also guys, I am traveling for spring break this week. I will be updating, but just a bit slower than usual. We will be starting on Thornkeep here soon.

I too will be going on spring break from next Sun. through the following Sun.

I should have rebuilt Jostrum posted very soon.

Spring Break in Mexico with the pearlnecklaces?

Have fun, but don´t get lost!

Ah, DrGabe, i have something to bother you.
Can we find a way to add the chronicles from my Pathfinder Tales to this character?

I've seen your thread Pai, Gabe doesn't need to apply them, just sign the chronicles. For that matter, I could as a GM, all you need to do is take picts of your PF Tales and send them to Gabe and he can download the appropriate chronicle, sign it and send it back. If Gabe is busy, send them to me.

Ok, i´ll upload some pics of them to dropbox in the next few days.
Thx!

Pai and Jostrum, that sounds good. Whichever you want to do. I thought the chronicles for tales were kinda neat and clever. However, what a pain in the digital world!

Thanks for the welcome all :)
@DrGabe: Aasif should now be ready. Do you require some special charactersheet depository site or does the alias-page suffice as a reference sheet for you?

Ah, and have fun at the springbreak ;)

Since Aasif is a new member of the Quadiran faction, i welcome him by giving him a potion of CLW, 2 oils of magic weapon and 2 flasks of holy water for the Thornkeep scenario. It´s his first scenario and all others could already buy something, so he has some stuff he can use.

Also i updated my character alias site with all abilities, spell descriptions and stuff. I think it´s more well-rounded than before now, since i can do something against undead (even if this will be ridiculous on later levels) and have something to help melee characters versus more normal oponents. Sorin should like that^^

Aasif, the alias page is enough. Thanks for the link.
Pai that is fine.

I hope that everyone has their characters updated... we will be moving forward here now.

no change to Osric...

I believe Jostrum is rebuilt and ready.

I am in rural Georgia for a family wedding. Unsurprisingly, internet connection is beyond poor. I'll be back into the swing of things on Monday.

I won't be able to post today. Tomorrow maybe rather late.

What do you people think about take 10 on perception for traps for the one with highest perception and all others do aid another?
That could make the game faster a bit. And maybe more safe^^

Actually the best is to take Twenty on Perception

I am ok with a '10' on trapfinding and a '20' on perception. Just remind me of the number. If you ever wish to roll on trapfinding over taking a '10' then that is ok as well (just in case the trap is tougher to find than 'average').

I thought you could take twenty on trapfinding as well.

As I understand it (and I could be wrong), you shouldn't be able to take a '20' on trapfinding because there is some risk or penalty to failure.
++Edit... in the CRB it does say that you can take '20' on Trapfinding, though I disagree. But who am I to argue with the CRB! This is one of those cases, where my house rule was getting confused with the PFS rules (which is no house rules!). Carry on Jostrum. ++

FYI, i updated my character sheet with things i can enchant. Didn´t really know all of them too and i think thelist is not extensive because it´s from the PRD, which should be beastiary 1 only. But it´s already a lot and i could possibly enchant the tarrasque!

Sorry... posted to the wrong group!

I have to say i have some problems with understanding that map.
The balcony is how high and is it above the visible ground or in the wall?
My charm spell has only 30ft reach, so i need to move probably to reach someone on the balcony, but i really don´t know how far.

Oh and do i actually threaten with my serpent´s fang special attack?

The description of the room was buried pretty far up the page. The balcony is 15 feet above the floor. When counting distance in a "DnD" world we usually count the horizontal distance and then add the vertical distance. Though isn't isn't very life-like, it is sometimes referred to as DnD math.

I do think that your serpent's fang attack threatens since its a natural weapon. If any of the rules experts want to correct me, please do. :)

I have to complain, there are quite some things that are counter intuitive and one really has to ask for all of them with PFS^^

Dr. Gabe, is there perhaps a map of the whole dungeon? Guess there is a bit of confusion about where we are and what is where, which will probably be growing.

If you play the rest of Thornkeep with us, i might buy it too and could then eventually take care of maps if there are some.

There is... but it is more confusing to be honest. I am in the middle of another project at the moment and haven't been able to make a map. It will be coming. The "map" in the book is full of spoilers, so I am not using that one (for now anyway!).

Ah that´s always a problem. Map material nearly always needs to be edited in some way, i know. I´m working on ideas and solutions to do such stuff quickly myself, online and offline.

Thanks to Hawkwen i found google docs quite comfortable, since you can do some edits directly in there. Importing the pdf´s or pictures into photoshop (or something similar) and then cut single rooms into single files, revealing them bit by bit, seems to work quite good i think.

I hope everything is good with you DrGabe.

Thanks J- I was out of town for a few days. I thought I left a message here, but in my haste to leave I don't think it ever got posted! Sorry about that folks. I am back, and we are ready to roll

Pai- I am using Campaign Cartographer to make the maps. The only issue is that I need an hour or two of quiet time to sit down and make the map. That time just hasn't been here for the last couple of weeks. This particular map is actually a 10' grid, not all that helpful for us. In fact the first two rooms you were in should have been "bigger" but it isn't that much of a big deal.

We likely won´t finish this before 13.05.11 right?
I need a character for Bonekeep^^

I am on the road for the next two days until I get to Dhaka. I should have decent internet there once I arrive.

refresh my memory - how much does a cure light wounds wand heal in pathfinder society?

1d8+1

I'll be away 2 days.

Two days are over.

Don´t let this die please. Else i would be very sad.

I posted again since I wrote that. The irony is: you didn't post for some time now ;)

Duh, i didn´t get any information updates about the gamethread for some time now. That´s why i thought nobody else posted. Strange.

Yes, I am all the time hearing about how the "dot" system fails from time to time. I manually check my campaign page every time I log on.

I have all my stuff listed and it´s the first time it fails me. Came to the same time when i was appointed Venture-Lieutenant. Could be due to that i guess.

Well the dots just seem to be hit and miss for me. No worries.
Congrats on being a VC. Big stuff!

Map posted (sorry for being a little late) and combat is primed.

This last room reminds me, we need a general marching order. Please place it here again (I think there was one on page 1) and feel free to update as we move along (if you suffer from any conditions, wounds, etc).
