GM Debug's PbP: PFS-RPG 06-16 Scions of the Sky Key pt. III: The Golden Guardian (Inactive)

Game Master DebugAMP

@Thermidor sounds fun, we've got a few CLW wand-monkeys anyways (I'll be picking one up with prestige between part 2 and 3)

re: Faction Card checkboxes. I'd be up for trying to convince Mother Bogwynne to share her lore with the Scarab Sages in the denouement if she counts as a scholar of some kind.

Knowledge (Local) to recruit: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

@Thermidor: For your immediate action rerolls do me a favor and give me some rules about when you want to use your rerolls, and make sure you keep it updated each combat round. For example 'if any ally rolls less than 12 on a saving throw' or 'if Dunia rolls less than 14 on an attack roll' or any other 'if player/enemy(s) XYZ meet condition(s) ABC use the reroll.' If you list those in a post, I'll keep those conditions present until you post a change to those conditions. For enemies, use the raw die number you want to have them reroll on, since as a player you would not be privy to their modifiers. Additionally, if anyone makes a roll and I haven't responded to it yet, feel free to jump in and use the ability. In exchange for that sleight lack of flexibility with your rolls, I'll make sure that if something really awful happens and you have your re-roll available I'll make sure to apply it appropriately.

For skill checks, I'll put the DCs inside of the spoiler instead of outside of the spoiler. That way if you have a reroll available to you, you can make the roll, see the roll result, then decide if you want to use the reroll or not, then open the spoiler tag to see if the check passed or failed and what happened. The check will look like this:

@Dunia: At the very least, there is certainly some Grippli in the village who meets the criteria. Go ahead and check it off.

I would like to try recruit for scarab sages also.

knowledge(local): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

bummer.

Recruiting for Scarab Sages...

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

No good.

Ok. I'l go ahead with Thermidor then, and get working on the digital sheet.

I can only give out one reroll per round, and once per creature per day.*

*Though I do have a similar racial ability, Quibble, which means one PC can get two rerolls per day.

For fluff purposes, I tend to describe the ability as fiddling with the space-time continuum (speeding up an arrow mid-flight, slowing down the attempt to dodge a spell, etc.).

My thought on general reroll policies:

Using for Enemies If none of the PCs have already requested use of a reroll, I'll trigger the ability on the first eligible critical threat (i.e 18 on a Scimitar, 20 on a battleaxe, etc.)

Using for Allies It's probably easiest to go first come, first serve on this, if there's an attack, skill, or saving roll you'd like to try again. If you'd like an enemy to reroll a save vs your spell/ability, feel free to trigger it on my behalf.

Does that make sense?

will update my sheet when I am home later today and get posting :)

Can we spend PP to buy stuff now?

If so, I want to spend two PP to get a CLW wand.

Yep

Ok. I'll take it. Using 2 PP get get a CLW wand.

Me too! 2pp CLW

Sheet updated, got me a MW. Comp. Longbow +3 for ranged.

Busy day today, I'll get something posted tonight or tomorrow. Sorry about that.

Pausing for a couple days while sick.

Get well soon! Take all the rest you need.

Aww, sorry to hear you're sick, hope you feel better soon.

get well soon man! take it easy!

Catching up with stuff, will be back in action tomorrow.

Can I get Day Job checks from everyone along with any faction card checkboxes they are hoping to check off?

Also, I need PFS# and character number for Thermidor.

No day job for me. Do all of us Scarab Sages get credit for:

Explore an ancient site during the course of an adventure. To qualify, the original occupants must have abandoned the
site at least 1,000 years ago, and it must cover at least 2,500 square feet (a 50-ft.-by-50-ft. area).

Yep. The site is very ancient, the original inhabitants long since dead, and the temple alone is over 2,500 square feet.

120937-19 is the number. I'll probably take the same faction box as Ajaline, though I'll double check once I have my hard copy in front of me.

Thanks!

No day job here.

No Day job for me either, but I'd love to have the Explore an Ancient Site marked on the chronicle sheet if you could.

Thanks for running!

Thanks for running it, no day job for me.

Scarab Sages -> Explore an ancient site. Thanks!

dayjob - craft(alchemy): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Chronicle Sheets are ready. Let me know if you have any issues with them.

I'm good here. Thanks for the game! Really enjoy how you pace the games and try to emulate the same in mine. Happy holidays and merry Christmas to those who celebrate!

Thanks for the sheet and the great game! Happy holidays everyone.

Thanks for the game and pacing!

Do you have to send us something for the faction cards too?

Nope. You check those off on your own. I just have to let you know if you did or did not meet the criteria but it's on you to not lie and check random boxes.

Yea, for faction cards I rely on the honor system and expect the same of my players.

Some people request GM to sign off on the sheet or to note goal accomplishment on the chronicle. But this is not the normal case in my experience, but i'll normally do it if they request for it.
