Please post here for your out of character discussions including character creation and start up questions
Hi Everyone,
I've created two potential characters for this scenario. A Varisian human slayer who fights with a grappling hook or a gnome inquisitor of Shelyn who is passionate about cooking. I'll play whichever character is best for the group. Let me know what you are playing.
Looking forward to gaming.

Hi, sorry - I had the wrong character name and # PFS-ID in mind when I wrote above.
Below the correct information.
1) Player name: noral
2) Character name: Zaaraah Katsu
3) PFS#-Character#: 314670-4
4) Faction: Scarab Sages
5) Day Job: None
6) Regular or slow speed for chronicle: Regular
7) XP / Fame: 0 / 0
Good. 4 are here, and the 5th PM'ed saying he would get something posted soon. I ran out of time to get the Gameplay open today, so that should happen tomorrow.
Looks like we have fighter, swashbuckler, inquisitor and druid so far. No arcane caster, but we'll see what our 5th comes up with. May have a 6th as alternate as well.
Does everyone understand how to format posts in game? Make dice rolls etc? Or do we need to start there? Does everyone have a PFS and character number? First characters are -1, then -2 etc. Your PFS number is uniquely yours and helps track in organized play regardless of location.
Let me know the above as we get organized for this game.
Im still kinda waiting for the last player to muster. If he doesn't show by tomorrow, I will reach out to my alternate and see if he available still.
Glad you could join us Sekell. I did agree to add a 6th player to the game, so they may be posting soon. An oracle, if I recall correctly.
I will be opening the Gameplay tab shortly so feel free to dot in and/or respond to the opening post as you see fit.
This scenario is intended to by the end of your training as a Pathfinder and at the end you will be free to join other Society missions. No worries if you've played other missions already, just go with it.
If you have questions about mechanics, let's discuss here. Good Luck!
Hey DM Doctor Evil, i'm going to change Sekell's heal skill to a knowl(eng) skill if that's okay. I feel it fits better with him thematically.
I think that's still okay at this point. Hasn't mattered, typically you can make changes to PC while still level 1, but not in the middle of a scenario. After level 1, you have to follow retraining rules.
Guys, this is a beginner game for both PBP and for Pathfinder rules in general. AS such, I am prvoiding a lot of extra documentation in OOC in the combat posts, and also giving the benefit of the doubt whenever possible.
Don't be offended or feel slighted if I correct your posts, or offer a rule that refutes you or a suggestion that you didn't think of. Should be a learning experience, not a criticism.
Swarms are tough, even for experienced players, but good to get right out of the gate to show what's needed sometimes. Janira has some items that unprepared PC's can get if they move close to her, she will hand them to you.
You choose.

Hey DM DoctorEvil, it seems like an obvious question but is that Str damage considered a condition?
I'm just wondering what the expectation is in PbP games when ability damage happens. Do I simply put it in Active Conditions, or go through my character sheet and correct everything with the new stat until it's healed?
Not truly a condition, but you can list it there so it's obvious to you and I. It is likely temporary, so re-working your entire sheet for it is hard. You can just make a notation out the side or at top. Somewhere that it sticks out.
ON a paper sheet, there is usually a box next to the ability scores tht you can edit or modify as things change.
Really, how you keep the records is up to you, as long as you and your GM can find it when needed. If for some reason you don't get it healed up before the end of the adventure, we'll discuss how to resolve then.
Like I said, a night's rest heals 1 pt of ability score damage and that's the surest way to bring it back.
Please note, I will be leaving tomorrow AM for Spring Break/Campus visits with my family. AS such, I may be delayed or delinquent in posting. I will try to get on should circumstances allow, but can't make any guarantees during this week.
We plan to return Saturday evening, so should return to somewhat normal schedule by then.

Had a few minutes of downtime, so you get a post instead of mint, nuts, and a yummy dinner from Toban.
Just want to make sure you understand that the loot from Janira's pack is yours to use during the course of this scenario, but not yours permanently, unlike regular table-top games. In PFS, you must "buy" the items from the Chronicle Sheet if you want them as part of your character's inventory going forward to next adventure. In that way, everyone has the ability to "buy" the same item, even though only one was found. Keeping track of what you buy from each Chronicle sheet is part of the record-keeping responsibility of each player. And any future GM should be able to back track through your Chron sheets to determine where existing items came from.
More to come on Chronicle Sheets at end of adventure, but feel free to use Janira's gear, with the understanding that a) you can't keep it unless you buy it later and b) if you use it now, it may still be on the Chron sheet to get again at adventure's end.

actions question:
I know loading a sling is a move action. What would swapping from wand to sling be considered? I was thinking of doing a 5-foot-step, switch items and then loading sling for next round. Is that possible?
Also would that cause any line of sight problems for Zekell if I was in front of him?
Depends on what you do with the wand. Stowing an item is a move action, as is drawing an item. So you'd use a full round to put the wand away and grab the sling. However, if you wanted to just drop the wand, that's a free action, but also more risky.
Players in LOS do count as soft cover for foes which helps their AC. In narrow spaces, it sometimes cant' be avoided.
Roll it.

@DM DoctorEvil
Thinking of doing some retraining at the end of the chronicle. The guide says:
You can rebuild 1st-level characters using the rules in Appendix 1: Character Creation. If you do so, make a
note on your most recent Chronicle sheet to confirm
the changes.
How do I make a note on a PbP Chronicle sheet?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
At first level, you do not need to follow the retraining rules. Until you have started your first level 2 game, you can rebuild a little or completely without charge.
It is unlikely that we will be done by May 7. Possible, but unlikely.
i am traveling this weekend with limited ability to post. May have something up tomorrow. Should return on Sunday evening to regular schedule.
Got home too late last night to post, and was catching up on some other things today and now am too sleepy to get a reasonable post up. Will get you guys updated ASAP tomorrow. Sorry for the brief delay.
We are closing in on the end of the scenario soon. If you have not done so, please post your information so I can complete the chronicle sheet: PFS #, name, faction, day job roll, etc.
Not sure if your group wants to consider another scenario together.I am game to run another if you do.
