Player: Jamesui
Character: Milarandei
PFS# 182235-5
Faction: Should stay Grand Lodge
Note: I applied a Core GM credit for school of spirits to this character, so she's level 2 now. I don't know how or if I want to respec her. Also, as I'm having a massive problem with either my ISP or my modem, I'd like to consider this a "maybe" signup. If you need to cut anyone, cut me.

I'm going to try to verify whether the others from the previous group are interested or not, and if not, try to recruit enough to make this a full table at least.

Player: Ben Graves
Character: Kastarr Emris
PFS# 150456-2
Faction: Liberty's Edge.
Normal advancement.
No day job.
Q: PFS characters max out at 11th level, correct? If that's the case I would like to adjust Kastarr's ability scores before leveling up. I was thinking about the ability increases for a 20th level character. It doesn't work out if the cut-off is at 11th.

BABS: That's fine.
Kastarr, you can adjust anything you want as long as you do it before you play at level 2. PFS doesn't exactly stop at level 11 -- there's just fewer scenarios after that. I'm hoping to eventually play Eyes of the Ten with these characters, which takes you through 12 and up to 13.2, and then there are a few specials one can do that have seeker tiers, as well as modules and APs.

The scenario as written only allows for a Perform check. I added an Int check at +5 DC because I figured it to be too difficult as it was. It is indeed amusing that Fatham was the only one. Perhaps you might consider RP him as being super anti-civilization and all, but having a weakness for really good theatre, kind of like Mr. Tulip from Terry Pratchett's The Truth, who is a violent, stupid thug with a ridiculous drug habit who happens to be a connoisseur and highly insightful (regarding this subject only) critic of fine art.
I'm guessing the storm on the east coast of the U.S. may have delayed some of us, so I'll give everyone another day before I start moving for anyone.

There is some table variation about whether an animal companion will actively seek out a flank. The interesting thing is that in regular PFS, there is a trick called 'flank' in the Animal Archive, which pretty much means that you need to have that resource and teach your animal that trick if you want it to flank, but on the other hand, it will do so automatically. In Core, there is no access to a flank trick. I usually treat it as part of the attack trick myself as a GM, since it doesn't seem fair to me to punish AC-using characters because the CRB writers didn't think to include a flank trick, but some GMs may not allow an animal to flank at all (even animals like wolves that are known to use flanking tactics in the wild in real life), or require a push to do it.

Interesting... I hadn't even considered that. I was sort of planning on a Betsy/Bertha flank as a standard OP, since the boar has speed and acrobatic and the half-orc gets an extra point of damage when flanking, but would an AC understand the value of flanking? I don't know... I would expect it from a wolf or other pack hunter, I suppose, but probably not a natural instinct for a boar.
If there was an added rule for flank as a trick, I would say there was enough consensus that it was not usable without - otherwise I think they would have FAQ'd it.

Right, if this were standard, I'd say, get the Animal Archive and use the trick from there, but you can't.

My apologies, I thought we were on the group including Fatham, and I've had a very busy weekend and Monday. I'll move ahead before I go to bed tonight.

So the ability that Fatham just survived is the 3.5 death domain's Death Touch ability.
Death Domain
Granted Power
You may use a death touch once per day. Your death touch is a supernatural ability that produces a death effect. You must succeed on a melee touch attack against a living creature (using the rules for touch spells). When you touch, roll 1d6 per cleric level you possess. If the total at least equals the creature’s current hit points, it dies (no save).

So I have a couple thoughts about what to do next. Among the Dead would be an obvious followup to this one, but if you're tired of undead, well, it might be a good idea to go with something else for a while.
The pallid plague is a fun one, but kind of skill heavy. I'd like to recruit an additional player anyway. I don't like The Many Fortunes of Grandmaster Torch, but it does introduce him as a character which may be important if we play a lot of other season 0-2 scenarios having to do with the shadow lodge.
