Yes, I'll use PPs. Gotta use them for something!

i know your pain. just had a lvl 8 die in another pbp scenario.

Yeah, I'm in that one also.

If you insist, Jaysin :)

Thanks everyone!

Did I miss the chronicles or are we still tallying?

The GM is away for the weekend I think so unless he got them scanned before he left it might be a couple days.

I will get them out tomorrow night. They are all filled out, except the monies donated, which I couldn't add before going out of town.

Ah, no worries Tek. Just making sure.

Got the chronicle! Thanks GM! Was Sure really your first PC death? Man, I can't believe it took you so long. You should run Dalsine Affair some time, lol. Maybe I'm just a mean GM. I've killed so many PCs this year and 2015 is still young....

I've only lost 2 pc's in pfs to date and one was 1st level, 1st mission.. Perhaps ive just been lucky.. Looking over my characters though many are overpowered builds.. Perhaps thats its instead..

I think my next ones will go opposite of min/maxed just to see if they can still make it..

I've had two deaths as well. Those damn robots got Hagrym as soon as I made the Museum and some xill infested Alie and teleported her away to their dimension. Both were tough encounters.

Yep, first one. Now, I openly admit to being an....easy GM, so I wouldn't say you are mean. I'm about 4 tables from 150, and I think you and Jaysin are my only PFS deaths. That said, I've noticed that my technique/game mastery has an improved and in response, my games have become tougher.

Fixed that for ya! ;)

Lillian is actually one of the more toned down builds tbh.. Her DC's are high sure but she's not overly hard to kill i would say.. Low saves, ac, and caster hps.

Some of my others are monsters in comparison..

Just teasing.

I will admit, when I know your bringing a PC, I rarely, if ever, worry about bringing a damage based character, and usually bring my skill PCs.

Lol, I was about to respond with the same thing about your characters. Almost all are pretty tough.

And yeah, I'm almost at 250 tables and I've noticed that as I GM'd more and had a better handle on rules and tactics my games became tougher. Still not as tough as a Bold Strider game, but tougher than I used to be.

Not that I enjoy killing characters, but an increase in challenge often brings about more tense/exciting situations. Probably one of my highlights was nearly killing off what everyone in our lodge assumed were the unstoppable barbarian and summoner duo. Hit the CAGM barbarian with some spell (I think it was a critical harm spell or something like that) that dropped him to 1 hp so that he couldn't drop out of rage or he'd die. Unfortunately, he was also Superstitious so he would save against every heal spell they threw at him with his massive Will save. So the summoner reluctantly dismissed his eidolon and starting summoning tons of azatas to cast a handful of heal spells on him each round, hoping he would nat 1 against some of them (he needed to heal about 40 hp so he could drop out of rage without dying). Meanwhile the rest of the party (now bereft of their two heavy-hitters), had to keep struggling to take out the caster. Eventually they took out the caster but the barbarian had another tense 15 rounds or so of rolling Will saves against the heals until he could drop out of rage. It was late in the module so he was at risk of running out of rage at that point and would have died if he hadn't healed enough. He pulled through but that made them pause, haha.

I like the threat of death. I've had a few suffer deaths in the last number of months and I think it's been more enjoyable. In fact, I worry that Faldoc may be in for a rough encounter right about now... hope he makes it to that EotT game!

Also got the chronicle! Thanks Tektite and company!

Alright, closing this thread
