Greeit, you could also play a pregen.
But you need a character.

BTW to all, you can jump in any time

I have the character finished, just fighting the messageboard formating

What is the make up of the party?

It would seem we are a zen archer, a brawler, an unchained monk, a witch, a kineticist and an alchemist.

Yaay, we've got a whole... murder? rabble? bunch? of monks

lol, do we have healing/healers?

Yaay, new alias ^^

But yeah, in-combat healing? no, not really. Apart from a cure light wounds on my part I don't think there is any.

Skaf will loan his CLW wand to Eoran. I think that should cover us for this scenario.

Other than maybe the BBEG I guess? That fight can be so swingy though so it really depends.

@Greeeit: A cloister of monks?

Cloister... I like it

you guys have 6 already...i was late getting my toon together...don't wait for me

So how do professions/dayjobs work in pfs?

Basically you need to be trained in one of Craft, Profession, or Perform. You make a roll and get paid according to a chart which is in the PFS guide. There isn't really any crafting in PFS so this gives that skill some value.

There are other rarer ways to do day jobs too but they require faction rewards or something usually.

I need to buy 5 trail rations

Buying a chronicler's kit for 40 gp.

Iantha, you still have no character sheet. Please check and amend.

umm... Did I win initiative over the wolf? if so, do I retroactively put in my turn? or did they act on a surprise round? I'm a bit confused by the whole play by post thing still :p

Pretty sure it was a surprise round...the only one that acted before the wolves was Skaf as he perceived the wolves while the rest of us did not...

Absoltely correct.
You were partial charged in the surprise round (only regular speed).
Only Skaf saw them and could act.

Yeah, sorry I hadn't gotten my sheet moved over onto here, yet! That should be fixed now.

Can you play a pfs character in multiple games at the same time? how would that work for levels and continuity and stuff?

No you can´t play the same char in more than one game. But this will be done by august 25th.

No.

You can run different characters through different scenarios at the same time (due to the speed at which PbP goes), and you can run different characters through the same Evergreen scenario at the same time (due to the speed at which PbP goes).

But you cannot run the same character through multiple scenarios of any sore at the same time.

Makes sense. So we have to finish this scenario before jumping over to the one we were playing for gameday VI, right?

Also, how does xp work in pfs? I read something about fame and prestige, but can't honestly say I got all of it.

You get 1 XP for completing a Scenario or series of Quests.

You get 3 XP for completing the longer length sanctioned Modules.

Each level takes 3 XP (three scenarios or one module).

Prestige and Fame are separate metrics that don't deal with advancement. You get anywhere from 0 to 4 Prestige per session, depending on what you play and what you accomplish. Scenarios max out at 2 but you can fail tasks and fail to earn all 2 points, Modules generally just give you 4 if you finish.

Fame is the total of all Prestige ever earned on the character.

Prestige can be spent on a variety of things better explained in the Guide to Pathfinder Society Play.

Fame cannot be spent (it only goes up). It represents how well known your character is and limits what kind of magical items you can access (there's a table in the Guide).

Thanks ^^.

This is a scenario, right? how would adventurepaths work in pfs? or don't they because they just plow through the relevant pfs levels?

This is a Scenario. Scenarios as numbered by season and episode.
1-00, 1-01, . . . , 8-25, etc.

APs work two different ways:

1. Sanctioned play: you use a PFS legal character to run through the sanctioned content of one book of an AP.
2. Campaign mode: you play an AP however you like with a group of your PFS friends, but you earn Chronicles (and XP and Prestige) for a separate PFS legal character.

Each book rewards the same as a Module, I think.

PFS tends to go quicker in face to face games.

I was at a funeral yesterday.

Sorry to hear that, glad to have you back.

We are almost done with the adventure.
If you do not have a dayjob you might want to check if you can do anything instead.

How do you get a dayjob? Is it enough to have a profession skill?

If you have put a point in craft, profession or perform and at the end of the adventure you can roll on it, to show how much money you make between missions.

So I could ork as a librarian between between scenarios?

Yes you can. How much money you make, well let the dice gods decide!

RNGESUS bring me fortune!

Leaving for GenCon tomorrow. Tier 1 GMing, so I'll only have enough time to sleep. I'll do what I can by phone on intermissions, but if I slow things down, GM may bot me.

Craft Weapon, I think I added it at the beginning of the game.

I'm confused, GM. You mentioned the surface light was a welcome reprieve from the caves when we emerged...why is it dim light? Was it night when we came out of the caves?

It is night there is a full moon. As you managed the survival check it was evening as you entered the caves. And I made a mistake, too, it should have been dim lighting all along.
You should have rolled for misschance since you entered.
I blame it having played mainly darkvision chars for the last few times.

We are almost done.
Please make your daycheck Greeeit. Chronicles are ready, if you want any additions please ask for them now.

Prof(Librarian): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Additions?

Nothing atm.
You could get feats, masterwork tools, or a vanity or boons or (only for wiz/sorc/arc/alc/inv) a spell to add or for gunslinger/alc/inv classlevels to add to the skillcheck.
Making alc and investigators (smirk) dayjob rich

You can also zry to gain spells from scrolls iirc

Btw ollietwist is that your first chronicle for that character?
