If you search the PRD with the search term 'cover' and click the first link that comes up, it's the last sentence of the second paragraph, where it says to treat reach like a ranged attack in regards to cover.
|
A few headers down in the cover section.
Cover and Attacks of Opportunity: You can't execute an attack of opportunity against an opponent with cover relative to you.
Id be happy to ignore that section and eat the AoOs though if I can play my polearm warpriest with you as GM. =D
I swear there's always a reason why I can't get an AoO off with him... Soon he'll be able to make his own difficult terrain... Then we'll see who's boss all you lousy 5 ft. stepping mooks!
These two rules appear to contradict themselves. I'll look into the issue more, it does not quite track for a character to be able to make a reach attack through the soft cover but not make an AoO. That being said, we'll say you can't make an AoO through cover for now until I have more time to look into it.
I didn't see you as argumentative at all, and I apologize if my previous post appeared to suggest that. I'm just looking at two rules that contradict themselves so I'm just going with the rule that benefits you all until I have time to go into it in more detail.

Hi guys, something's happened with life, and I may be spotty for a few days/a week while I get my head sorted. I'm safe and well, but I need some time to adjust, so I'm taking a step back for a bit. I'll still be around, and may post in discussion if something needs my input, but I can't make promises for gameplay.
I'll try to post a gameplay action tonight, and hopefully that will see me over, but if I don't post before Quiella, GM, I'm happy to be botted.
As this is the final combat encounter of the scenario, please make your Day Job or Downtime activity rolls.
I'll have to look into that, unless one of the players already knows. Which feats do you mean specifically, Valik?
I was looking into either Lingering Performance at 7th and then at 11th the one that adds sonic damage. But right now LP, is what I was mulling around.
Doing a quick search, I'm going to give you a tentative yes, since the advice ability says it's identical to bardic performance.

Here's my day job from above and chronicle info... although I have no idea why I said slow track back there. I think I must have thought that he had a dangling 1/2 XP from a GM credit somewhere, but that was not intended.
Oh, you'll probably want this...
Player Name: Aaron
Character Name: W.I. Blazkovich
PFS# 4249-7
Slow Track
Day Job: Craft (Gunsmithing): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
As for Sensei + Lingering performance, expect table variation. I'd argue that it should work, since it says that Advice acts exactly like Bardic Performance, and if it acts EXACTLY like bardic performance that should include how it interacts with feats and prerequisites. Would also fall in line with other rulings for similar class abilities like oracles channeling via revelation and taking feats that pertain to the class ability. Another strict interpretation would be to say that since Lingering Performance has Bardic Performance as a prerequisite that you do not qualify. Not an interpretation I'd ever use at any of my PFS tables but short of seeing an FAQ entry I wouldn't try to argue it with a GM at a convention 5 minutes before my table starts.
Edit: Ninja'd by the GM. Since this looks like an ongoing campaign he's the only one you need to convince =P.

Didn't we just hit level 6? Am I forgetting something? How much XP should we have after this?
-Posted with Wayfinder
For those currently in the overall campaign, everyone but Mel and maybe Vailis should be at 6.2 after this scenario finishes. Mel is one scenario behind everyone in regards to experience and I'll need to touch base with Vailis about his exp when we finish this one.
If Quiella or Ophelia have Day Job rolls, please make them soon. I don't believe Mel has a Day Job but he could attempt a Downtown action from his Grand Lodge faction card if he wishes.
William, since we're at the end of the scenario, I'll let you know that you have been affected with the Howler's Howl Curse. Since we'll need to get rid of that before I give you a Chronicle sheet, let me know how you want to handle removing it.
You have to make hourly checks against it until you get a number of successes to beat it, like a poison. If you wish to try to make your Will saves until you beat the curse or enter a coma, I'm fine with that. Each failure does 1 Wisdom damage. Feel free to make the checks in this thread.

If it's cure on 1 save looks like he'll be wandering through Ostergarde with 3 wisdom damage as he finishes making sure it's clear for the Kastners to move back in. If it's cure on 2 or more saves after he's confident that Ostergard is clear and the children are in safe hands he'll mutter like a madman as he finds his way to a temple. Preferably a temple of Brigh if he can find one.
It's only 1 save necessary, William. You lost 1 Wisdom already, so if it takes you four more rolls to get a '20,' then you'd be at 4 Wisdom damage at the end of the scenario which would easily heal over the same number of days.
I'll wrap up the scenario tomorrow when I have a little more time, making botting rolls as necessary.
Hopefully they'll fix the automatic thread update issue by then.

Is the "automatic thread update" issue what's preventing me from seeing the unread counts on threads? It's forcing me to go to a browser to see which campaigns have updates, since Wayfinder depends on those unread counts to show me what has changed.

I'll have the Chronicle sheets ready sometime in the next couple of days and will send them to your email addresses.
We'll start the next scenario #4-03 The Golemworks Incident on April 3rd. At which time Vailis should be rejoining us.
My thanks to William for joining us in this scenario, I appreciate you filling in as well as bringing in an interesting character. If we have another opening in the campaign and you're still interested in joining us, I will let you know.
Valik just informed me that he has played Golemworks already. If you haven't, William, and want to play in that one too, the slot is open.

Hey, thanks so much for inviting me to play! Was a great game and some great personalities. Unfortunately I'm a bit oversubscribed right now for games to hop right into another. I had a game that I thought had fallen apart, and it suddenly started back up after a month and a half of inactivity. In the meanwhile I also had signed up for another game and am 3/4 of the way through it. One of those games might wrap up by the 3rd, but since I have pending business travel I'm erring on the side of caution right now.
I hope you all enjoyed William. I probably will refrain from using him any more in PbP just because it feels really awkward trying to use a character with lots of immediate reactions and AoOs. I'd rather not hand the GM a giant flowchart with numbers all over it to handle his out of turn actions. That aside, I've told my in-person group that I'd make him available for use in the Cindersworn Pact and it's sequel. He's sitting on a bounty to be turned in at the City of Brass and is looking forward to following through on it...
If you guys still haven't found a replacement when you are ready to start the Golemworks Incident and at least one of my games has wrapped up I'll see what other characters I have available. I've got a few others in the 5-9 range, but one is in another PbP, and one is reserved to play in Hrenthar's Throne in a few weeks. That would leave me with Sarsczek, my Slayer 6 / Living Monolith 1.

Yeah Thanks William, it's a fun character and may help me decide to plan out a gun user at some point in the future.
One more scenario and if I can keep Frostfur alive, I'll get a large wolf. At some point between now and then we probably should discuss how to manage that. She'll become much more powerful (plus I am probably going to use boon companion on my next available feat slot) but more of a pain with positioning.
I'll check back with you again closer to the 3rd, William. If you're still swamped by then, I'll just do a open recruitment for the 6th slot unless one of the PC's know someone who wants to fill in for one game.
That'll work Ophelia, if you know of some reliable people in your area.
The session has been reported and I've sent copies of your Chronicle sheets to your respective emails. If there are any issues, please let me know.
The next scenario, #4-03 The Golemworks Incident, will start on or around April 3rd.

Just shy of affording that Headband of Charisma!

Thanks for playing with us William.

Hey, I just talked to the GM for one of my games and he's fairly certain that it will wrap up within a short amount of time. Given that, I think as long as we aren't starting the next part much earlier than the 3rd I'd be happy to continue on, although with a different character who is currently level 7. William's got a bounty to cash in with another gun-slinging friend...
Sounds good, DebugAMP. I can also delay a few days after April 3rd if necessary.
He's a very handsome fellow.
