PFS CORE - PbP Gameday IV - #5-08 The Confirmation (Inactive)

Game Master Paladin of Baha-who?

--Map--



A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for level 1-2.

Almost all Pathfinders undergo extensive training for three or more years to learn the tricks of the trade, and their last test before graduating from the ranks of the initiates to the status of a full Pathfinder agent is the Confirmation, a special research project that involves considerable fieldwork and is designed to simulate the initiates' future work as a Pathfinder. Even the noteworthy field commissioned agents sometimes participate in such trials as a way to familiarize themselves with the Pathfinder Society’s rules and expectations. Although Confirmation is typically an individual affair, the society recently discovered a site on the Isle of Kortos that would be perfect for initiates but perhaps too dangerous to handle alone. Successfully uncovering this site’s secrets will not only contribute to the society’s body of knowledge but shape the exciting careers ahead for each of the prospective agents.

So, I've noticed there have been not a lot of CORE games recruiting so far. I figured there's probably some people wanting to get a CORE character started up, so here's a great place to start one.

I am recruiting for up to 6 players for this game, which will begin on 19 September 2015 as part of the Online Gameday 4.

Please reply with the following information:

The Exchange

Character name: BABS
PFS# 150786-10
Race/Class(es)/Level(s): Druid 1
Faction: The Exchange

Animal companion: Betsy, the Boar

This is my first druid, and still trying to work out how to play it. Might re-tool it a bit before we start, but not much I expect.


Ok. Would you like any advice? I've built several effective Druid characters.

Dotting this for later. If you still have open spots after I get out of work tomorrow I'll draft up a core PC.

Liberty's Edge

Player's forum handle: Magabeus
Character name: Adinomo
PFS#: 24861-11
Race/Class(es)/Level(s): Sorcerer 1
Faction: Grand Lodge
Any special rules, boons, or corner cases you need to let me know about:
(Optional) A one or two-sentence blurb about your character:

I have been told by a Paladin I met in Tian that the Society is a great place to see things! Can I come with you on a field trip?

Silver Crusade

This is my most likely submission. Depending on local face to face scheduling, I may swap this out for a character who doesn't yet exist.

Forum Handle: Dhenn
Character: Amina
Race/Classes: Human (Mwangi) Paladin of Shelyn 1, Sorcerer (Draconic [Gold]) 1
Faction: Sovereign Court Shh!

Like a lot of people, I've both played and run this before, never in Core.

Silver Crusade

Player's forum handle: Xynen
Character name: Ulena
PFS#: 186188-3
Race/Class(es)/Level(s): Elf/Paladin 1
Faction: Silver Crusade

Blurb: She's a sheltered Elf woman who still thinks Diplomacy and Love are the key to saving the world, the smaller races just need her help to see it.

Silver Crusade

Ok, that's four so we will definitely have a table. Still room for two more! :)

I would like a spot! I'll return when I have a minute to give the rest of the info...

Silver Crusade

Can I reserve a spot? I'd like to go with this archer cleric if her current scenario can finish within a month and change.

Handle: Jamesui
Character: Milarandei Qetra
Race/Class: Elf Cleric of Desna
PFS ID: 182235-5


Alright, that's six! Thank you all for your interest. I'll create gameplay and discussion threads for your dotting pleasure, and then we just need to wait for the start of the GameDay in a little more than a month.

The Exchange

Hey, so sorry...I have to withdraw from this one. Good luck to the rest of you! :)

Silver Crusade

Alright, we're back to five, so still one slot available.

I'll step up to the plate.

Forum Handle: Thereus, Silver Crusader
Character Name: Thergrom
Race/Class/Levels: Dwarf Sorcerer (Draconic-Green) 2
PFS #: 90808-13
Faction: Dark Archive
Special: Claws from bloodline

Thergrom would be proud to join the rest of the initiates on a mission to prove his worth to the Society.

The Exchange

Sure! (on the offer for advice)

From what I have read, druids seem to get a bad rap for being over-powered. Summoners sort of had the same rep. I am not really interesting in being the over-tweaked powerhouse, but I do also don't want to be ineffective. So my general goal is flavor over power, but enough of a balance that everyone has a good time.

This character (and you can look it over) is primarily a bullied, pig-like girl who makes friends with a an actual pig (boar), and together try to make their way in a world not very accepting of them. So that's the concept.

So, other than keeping the race and the boar, I am open to any suggestions. I was leaning towards more of a heavy hitter herself with just a pet pig for tracking or such, but she could just as easily be a support character, or could focus on the animal with her doing buffs.

Her first scenario, she was not overly useful, but some of that was the scenario (which precluding bringing the boar), and some was just the makeup of the party. So it might have just been a bad go, which is why I though to just try again. But if you have some advice, I would certainly consider changes before we start.

Thanks!

Silver Crusade

Ok, I'll PM you with some thoughts on your character.

FYI, Thergrom is a core character, but I found out today was incorrectly reported in a standard scenario and thus lost his "coreness". I am in the process of rectifying that with Paizo, who needs to correct it manually. I should be "core" again in a day or so.

The Exchange

I have had that happen twice already, but they fixed it pretty quick.


Party Makeup:

BABS - Druid 1
Adinomo - Sorc 1
Amina - Paladin 1/Sorc 1
Ulena - Paladin 1
Milarandei - Cleric 1
Thergrom - Sorc 2

Wow, lots of sorcs.

Milarandei -- If the Mists of Mwangi your character and mine are in together finishes in time (probably it will) this will work fine, but if that GM wants to start a new scenario right away you'll perhaps need to miss it or use a different character.

Dark Archive

Okay, Thergrom is fixed back to a core character.

Let me know if you need anything else from me before we start.

This will be my first time playing PbP on the forums so I'm currently boning up with some of the guides out there.

Silver Crusade

Hi Paladin,

This character's PBP of Mists of Mwangi is taking much longer than expected. She may not be ready for 9/19. I'm going to follow up with that thread, and if things can't come to an end soon, I'll put a new character together in time.

Silver Crusade

Same camp as Amina. And your own character, it seems! Guess we're all on that stalled boat together.

I can use an L1 rebuild to respec another L1 core character into something suiting the party easily enough, I suppose.
