Please check in with your preferred character so we can determine subtier.
Thor was on the signup. Right now, with two 8's listed as primary or only choices, let's see if we can work into the lower tier. I'd personally be more comfortable running that since it's a bit less complicated.
So my preference is for you to bring characters of 9th level or lower if yoy have them.
You may play what you want, and if you've got someone gunning for that last XP we'll make it work. It just goes better when you're all near the same power level.
My archer ranger played down for his last two PFS games, and really was too powerful for some of the combats. Fortunately there were a couple that forced him out of his comfort zone!

Good! Just 2 more to check in then. I'll try to put up the intro text tonight.

Checking in. I have a couple of PCs who are 7th level (well, 6th with GM credit I can apply to bump them to 7th): one's an Arcanist and one is a Ftr/Drd (which, given my druthers, I'd prefer to not level up that way). I also have at least one GM credit baby I can build into, well, pretty near anything.
I'm all about people playing the PC they want to play and I don't have anything in-tier that fits that description, so I'll fill in whatever the party needs. :-)

I do want to go ahead and let the gm know that i ping as evil if there is something in the scenario that would prevent someone from doing something or going somewhere if they are evil but i have already paid my atonement and am not considered evil for playing but i do ping evil do to the boon.
It is the boon from The Refuge of time
Still trying to figure out party makeup before i figure out what to play.. Atm its either hard pipe hitter invul barb 9 or hard pipe hitter kensai magus 11.. Any preferences? Im leaning to wards the magus but i dont wanna be a show stealer to a lower level group.. If we can manage to play up ill bring him for sure..
Much as I love Darius (and would be tempted to reunite him with Rosham!), I'm all for not outshining the rest of the party, and we'd likely do that (Rosham's at 10). So my vote would be for your Barbarian.

Looks like we're a little light on healing power...? (Though, you guys know your PCs better than I do, natch.) Hitting things doesn't look like an issue, so I'm leaning toward my Arcanist, unless y'all want Kyra (I have no issues playing her).
Well, I got behind the last couple nights.
Thanks Xiaobo for the heads up on alignment.
If we had Darius, we be looking at APL 8.6 (11+9+8+8+7=43\5)
This would round to 9 and leave us between tiers. I think with 5 you'd play down.
If the 7 became a 10 we'd have APL of 9.1, same result.
With 2 9's, 2 8's and a 7 we'd be solidly low tier.

Im okay playing up or down. Really does not matter.
I think Id rather have the Barbarian, as in my experience Magus'/magi tend to trivialize the scenario's fun and threat too much. But, play what you want.
As far as healing, I have a little, but not much, and somwthing to keep in mind is I can't use it if Im raging.

If infernal healing counts as "at least a little," I'll play my Arcanist.
Just waiting for Vladek and thunderspirit's Arcanist to post in gameplay.
Also, please post the following info here:
Your first name or nickname (to go on chronicle)
PFS #
Faction (yes you have icons, but just to be sure)
Day Job roll if any
notable purchases
Thanks and good luck!
Yeah, work has pretty much kicked my ass this week, so I'm just now getting to leveling him up. I'll post in the game play thread and he'll be updated by Sunday night.

Lazlo. Ugarte.
Please tell me you're supposed to look and sound like Peter Lorre.
:-)
That was, in fact, actually the original plan. It didn't end up like that, alas. He's frankly much more detached a la Cpt. Renault/Rick Blaine than Lorre. But the name stuck.|

Oh, and why not: I spend a total of 725 gold learning 2 1st-level, 2 2nd-level, and 1 3rd-level new spells (and my Spellcraft is high enough that rolling to learn them is unnecessary :))
This is a good plan.
Have chronicle access to the following:
- wand of magic missile w/38 charges (570 gp but will spend 2 prestige)
- wand of disrupt undead w/30 charges (225 gp)
bead of force (3000 gp)
Thornkeep: Forgotten Laboratory item arcanolembic (2000 gp)
dormant ring of earth elemental command (5400 gp)
Then want to purchase the following scrolls and copy them into spellbook: flaming sphere, gust of wind, invisibility, locate object, mirror image, resist energy, see invisibility, shatter, spider climb, whispering wind. (150+40 for each, total 1900 gp)
225
3000
2000
5400
1900
= 12,525 gp
Gee, can't tell this has been mostly a GM credit PC, huh? ;-)

I don't know if you can buy specific items from Chronicles with prestige.
And what does this...arcanolembic do?
For the record, DM, I have 3 unique items from Chronicles of note:
- a copy of The Pnakotic Manuscripts (teaches me a few things about conjuration and the Old Cults)
- the armillary amulet (grants +5 to Spellcraft)
- and the marvelous jar of eyeballs (to make a long story short, protects me from flanking and gaze attacks)

Hmm, I don't see a restriction. But I could be missing it.
Once per session, you can acquire any single item of this cost or less from your faction by spending the appropriate number of Prestige Points. Items purchased this way are worth 0 gp and cannot be sold.
But if I'm missing it, please let me know. And if you don't think it's kosher, GM, I understand...and it's your table.
When you drink a potion from the arcanolembic, it functions as though it were 2 levels higher then the minimum for a potion at its level. (Which is spiffy.)
**busy reading Lazlo's name in Peter Lorre's voice**
Thanks for the updates and information everyone.
I personally can't see any restrictions on using fame for chronicle sheet items, so unless someone shows me otherwise I will be ok signing off on it.
And the mountain part is basically a way to make you follow the path. We can use Thor's ability for some fun too.
Im not sure why u would buy a not fully charged wand for the same price as a full charged one..
Good point! It's a Core Book spell, so it shouldn't be a problem access-wise. But Lazli can decide either way.

Honestly, I don't know how often he'd use the wand in either case. But, after looking closer at the consume magic items exploit, he probably will switch to the 50-charge wand cos maths is hard.
Maybe your next character should be a 7-Wisdom Investigator named Lazli Nielsen?
Stealing.

No worries. I could always make mistakes or not know about a specific ruling.
That being said, my current issue is trying to find a way to emulate some more lightening magic. Particularly ranged, like Lightning Bolt. Preferably in the 5d6+, multiple targets range. Similar to the Paladin, I do have an arcane spell list, even if I can't actually cast spells yet, so I can use a Wand/Staff. Just so pricy for what is more a flavor element than a mechanical one.
My next idea is a Staff of Electricity, but if anyone has any suggestions, I'm all for it. I see a few other minor items I'm considering, but most of them either only do a 2d6 sort of thing or focus on a small, usually close range area, and that's just not going to work.

Javelin of Lightning is an expensive use option.. As the caster level thing, I believe you actually have to have a caster level before you auto use items from the spell list.. I may be wrong..
Rod of Thunder and Lightning fits the bill but is pricy.. Prob best bet is to burn 2pp for a pair of lightning bolt scrolls..
