GD VII: Redelia's Raiders of Shrieking Peak (Inactive)

Game Master Dennis Muldoon

It's a -4 because their gore attack has the agile trait. Agile weapons are at -4 for a second attack and -8 for third or later, rather than -5/-10.

Thanks! I had no idea.

@Doreen:

Bombs count as weapons (per pg. 359 of the rulebook), and thus crit just like a weapon would, though the splash damage is not multiplied on a crit.

Bombs are martial thrown weapons with a range of 20 feet. When you throw a bomb at a creature, you target its TAC.

Thanks!! I figured I was just missing it somewhere.

I plan on changing up my alchemical creations. I’ll post them here when I make those decisions.

It is my thought that if we know enough to think of these things we should ascertain what range weapons we have available and if perhaps the minotaurs may have something appropriate we can use if needed. Also, subject to character knowledge, it would be good to try to fashion some earplugs to try to reduce the risk of succumbing to its song.

+1 Crossbow and a slew of bombs. Fire bombs do the most damage, while cold bombs do less but slow the creatures movement. A tanglefoot bag + cold bomb reduces movement speed pretty dramatically.

Overall, I am a little underwhelmed by the utility of the alchemist so far in the playtest. I am trying to figure out if it is the PFS alchemist that is too powerful (by comparison) or if the PF2 alchemist is too limited.

Have you looked at the 1.6 update? They made some pretty significant updates to the Alchemist.

I haven't. I suppose I should do that right about now!

I don't know if it's worth rebuilding your character for this scenario, considering how close we are to the end. It might alter your opinion of the class, though.

Not currently relevant but I would like to make sure I do things correctly: my current Nature calculation is Level +5, Untrained -4, Wisdom +4 for a total of +5. Is this incorrect?

Sorry, that's correct. I got it in my head that since it's a skill used to identify, it's Int based, so that's what I looked at. You're math is correct.

Thanks. It is easy to second guess myself and I make enough mistakes that I am usually ready to believe I have misunderstood something.

Created Items:

9 RP Available

4x Alchemis Fire (lvl 3) = 2 RP
2x Bomber's Eye (lvl 3)= 1 RP
2x Bottled Lightnening = 1 RP
2x Elixir of Life (lvl 3)= 1 RP
2x Bullheaded Mutagen, lesser= 1 RP (cost's 1 to drink)
2x Frost Bomb (lvl 3)= 1 RP

Total RP used: 7 of 9.

I can share one of the Bull headed mutagens

Duration: 1 minute
Benefit You gain a +2 item bonus to Will saves, Perception checks, Medicine checks, Nature checks, Religion checks, and Survival checks. This bonus increases to +3 against mental effects.

Drawback You take a –1 item penalty to Deception, Diplomacy, Intimidation, and Performance checks, and you lose 1 RP.

GM would need to weigh in, but I think using the mutagen would cost you 2 RP. 1 because the item requires it, and one because it is coming from me. Still, +2 will saves may come in handy later...

I believe that's correct.

Sorry, I forgot to put in the DC and save information in that channel post. Thanks for catching it and posting the details, GM Dennis.

As this was started as a Gameday VII game, I'm going to need to report it soon (we won't need to end the game early, I just need to report it). As such, please give me your PFS numbers and character numbers (1501, usually for Playtest).

Lysle
PFS #90900-1501

267966-1505

1501 I am using for my GM credit and then I actually gave my characters their own numbers.

141936-1502

273096-1501

Rolling for boons:

Banterknell: 1d20 ⇒ 20
Clara: 1d20 ⇒ 6
Doreen: 1d20 ⇒ 5
Pierce: 1d20 ⇒ 19

GM Dennis: 1d20 ⇒ 1

Banterknell boon: 1d4 ⇒ 4
Pierce boon: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Banterknell and Pierce, please PM me your email address so the HQ team can send you your boons.

Alright, game reported (Lysle, I already had your email).

Thanks, Dennis! And thanks again for stepping in and seeing us through!

I am not sure where everyone is based and if you observe Thanksgiving tomorrow.

I am happy to keep playing through Thanksgiving, though our family will be spending some time with friends tomorrow I should be able to read and post at least once. I don't mind if others are not available, family first.

I will be attending a games convention Friday through Sunday. I still expect to be able to post at least once a day, however, I may be a bit slow and if there is too much chaos I may miss a day. Feel free to bot me as needed.

I'll be checking in. Holidays and a laptop go together hand in hand for PbP.

I'll be busy with family things on Thursday, and may not have time to post more than once. I will also be attending a game convention this weekend; I should be able to post at least once a day, but may be a bit slower than normal.

My sincere apologies, all. I was not only pushed for time more than I thought I would be but I also became sick and actually missed some of the con. Today was all about catching up with many aspects of life and I am about to start reading the gameplay and will post there soon.

My plan is to make each of you a new Playtest Tracking sheet, with this as the first entry. Even if you already have one, it's fine to have your Playtest Points spread across several. That said, if anyone would rather have it added as a line on an existing one, send it my way and I can do that.

Alright, HERE are your Playtest Tracking Sheets. Let me know if you find any issues. Nice playing with you all, I enjoyed seeing how you built and played your characters.

Thanks for showing us the ropes and teaching us along the way!

Thanks GM Dennis for stepping up and for being a patient teacher!

Thank you all for a fun game! I look forward to sharing a table with each of you in the future.

Thanks, everyone. I enjoyed playing and look forward to more in the future.

Yes, thanks! BK was fun to play and I like the way the spells and actions work. And thanks for being patient and showing me the ropes.

I hadn't really seen a bard in action yet, so that was interesting. Alright folks, I'm going to mark this 'inactive'. Feel free to PM me if you need anything else.
