GM Boldr's PFS 6-18 High-Tier (4-5) From Under Ice (Inactive)

Game Master MisterSlanky

After the weekend I'll be starting up From Under Ice.

Please make sure you read the Campaign Info in regards to some of the in-play expectations.

Essentially, this is meant to be a narrative experience, not just a series of rolls to get credit (while combat does certainly happen). You'll probably not have the best time if you post with a set of dice rolls and something saying, "I swing my sword" and expect me to fill in the blanks.

I have a multiple options and am willing to play whatever for party comp purposes. Options include Musketmaster 2, Swashbuckler 3, Bloodrager 4, bard 5, and a Rogue (unchained) 1.

Preference to play the bard or the rogue, backup w/ swashbuckler if it's looking like we need a combat person.

I'll be traveling through Monday. I should be able to post, but feel free to bot me if needed.

Sorry all, got a little behind this weekend. Trying to get a post pulled together.

Sorry folks, we don't have social skills. Any case we could try to make is probably going to fail, and I'd rather have a fight against 2 guards than a camp friggin full of them.

Skodir: I see your point. I don't have an issue with combat.

Meh! /shrug
Let come what may~ Lenora's on her first adventure - she'll roll with the punches. c: Or slices, I suppose. :D

Ugh, I'm mentally headdesking my keyboard. I'm playing the paladin class for the first time and totally forgot about detect evil. X_X I know it's at will, but I imagine it's still a standard action?

A paladin can, as a move action, concentrate on a single item or individual within 60 feet and determine if it is evil, learning the strength of its aura as if having studied it for 3 rounds. While focusing on one individual or object, the paladin does not detect evil in any other object or individual within range.

Keep in mind that it won't work on creatures with less than 5 HD unless they are undead, outsiders, or have an aura. It's also obvious spellcasting, which is sure to ruffle some feathers.

That is super helpful to know. Thank you very much! c:

Glad I could be of help. The 5 HD requirement is always good to bring up because it curbs obnoxious "I must detect evil on all of the things" paladin behavior.

I kind of like that it doesn't work on creatures with less than 5HD - almost as though the game is pointing out that they're just small fries with no need to pay attention to 'em beyond, you know, stabbin' 'em or continuing with whatever else you were doing.

If he didn't have a longspear, I'd be in his square by now really causing some havoc. I have the mouser archetype. I can get in their square and give them -4 to attack rolls, and it counts as flanking.

Does the 50% chance of ammunition retrieval stand in PFS? o:

Does the 50% chance of ammunition retrieval stand in PFS? o:

Correct.

Ammunition: Projectile weapons use ammunition: arrows (for bows), bolts (for crossbows), darts (for blowguns), or sling bullets (for slings and halfling sling staves). When using a bow, a character can draw ammunition as a free action; crossbows and slings require an action for reloading (as noted in their descriptions). Generally speaking, ammunition that hits its target is destroyed or rendered useless, while ammunition that misses has a 50% chance of being destroyed or lost.

Depending on your GM you either roll or just get 1/2 your missed shots back.

Ooooh, very good to know! c: Thank you! I see bullets for firearms aren't on that list - are those just considered kaput?

Rose - you may want to check out the stat block in your character.

Str 11, Dex 17, Con 13, Int 10, Wis 10, Cha 17

You said in your combat post your con was only 11.

Con is 13. I was -11 HP two HP away from dead dying.

I have problems figuring out the stabilization rolls. I read what the rulebook says. I think I understand it, but I seem to add the penalties wrong when I make the checks.

It's pretty simple really.

Con check, meaning roll a d20 and add your con modifier.

DC for the check is 10+HP in the negative. So at - 11 the DC would be 21.

I am a fan of this pacing. Keep it up, folks!

I'm glad we're more active than not! c:

Preemptive head's up. I will be out of town Friday through Tuesday this next week. I may post Tuesday night, but due to me being "camping" in a "real tent" I do not expect much in the way of my ability to post a damn thing.

Do be clear about the above - this is for NEXT weekend. Ya'll can post today. :-)

At gen con, will not be posting until next Tuesday.

G'day everybody.

With Skødir's trip to Gen Con, and my trip to the Eclipse, let's call it a break through next Tuesday.

I'll see you all then! Have a great weekend.

I have returned, still alive!

Welcome back! c: Didya have fun? :D

While I very much have been enjoying the pace, I should mention I have a deadline to have this whole thing wrapped up by September 23rd.

I suppose it's not a true deadline, but unless you want nothing to happen for 3 weeks while I'm out of the country, having it packed up is a good thing. :-)

I'll try to keep us moving.

I'm fine with however rapid a pace you choose c:

I should let you know, though, that I won't be available on the 1st-3rd. I'll be LARPing, so... <_< In the woods, without service.

Remember: your character might be a badass but you're still a CR 1/3 human with 8 HP. Bears are CR 4. Plan accordingly.

Sorry all, I've had a lot going on the last few days. Post as soon as i can.

I'll be taking a friend to the airport tomorrow, so I'll probably be out for a large part of the day! c:

Glad that didn't turn into a fight! Thanks for running, GM. c:

Did I miss the link to the chronicle sheets?

I've been trying to take care of a million things this week before I head out. I haven't forgotten chronicles, but it's difficult to find a few moments.

Thank you all for your patience. Chronicles can be found here!

Thank you! c:
