Male Human (Minnesota) GM 4 The Disappeared Tactical Map,

A Pathfinder Society Scenario for characters of 1st to 5th level. We will be playing Tier 1-2.

A Pathfinder leading a diplomatic envoy from the dwarven holds of the Five Kings Mountains has gone missing, and the balance of power in a time of war hangs on her rescue. The Pathfinder Society's divinations indicate the agent was waylaid in the theocratic nation of Razmiran, when one of her escorted diplomats failed to pay a requested tithe. Now it falls to the party to enter Razmiran, locate the missing Pathfinder and the dwarven diplomats, and escape with their lives.

Written by Mike Shel.

This is currently invite only campaign.

Intrigued, joining, not sure which character I'll pick.

That's cool.. As an FYI I am replaying (and have GMed this one, too, but that was all in season five).

Now we'll see how the Rat deals with this all.

I'm in. This will be my first PFS game on these forums; please take a look at my character's tagline and profile to make sure I've set them up correctly. I've also GMed this (several times back in Season 5), but have never played it.
Male Human (Minnesota) GM 4 The Disappeared Tactical Map,

Looks great! If you want to shorten it, you could probably get away with +2 dwarf saves but it also looks great as is.

Welcome to pbp!
Male Human (Minnesota) GM 4 The Disappeared Tactical Map,

We have confirmed a 5th player. Silbeg thinks he has a 6th. We start officially Monday the 12th.

Thus far we have:

And there... a bird that can actually talk, instead of just saying "BERT" :D

Of course, she only speaks in Thassalonian, because Lucius believes if you aren't smart enough to understand her, then you shouldn't. Or something like that.

Sorry for ignoring this; I had completely forgotten I had voiced my interest. Stupid forum doesn't show games in which you've dotted only on discussion tab...

Kid's sitting on my lap, so I can't really concentrate on selecting the character and all that right now. The instant I have time I'll read everything and post accordingly.
Male Human (Minnesota) GM 4 The Disappeared Tactical Map,

You're good. We are getting ready to officially start tonight - you got time.

So, we are Wizard 3, Fighter 3, Magus/Monk 2, Rogue 1, Barbarian 2 and ???

Would we be high tier if we get a level 4? (3+3+2+1+2+4=15. 15/6 = 2.5, rounds to 3... which could be high tier with 4-player adjustment).

Not saying this is what we want to do ... but we could.

I still have to finish up all the purchases from my last adventure. That includes a wand of CLW at least.

No healer? Oh boy.

Purchase before adventure:
+1 enhancement to armor (1000 gp)
Wayfinder (regular 250 gp or shining 2PP)
2x short sword (20 gp)
After that he'll have some 800 gp left, open to suggestions.

They would get along nicely. Unfortunately Lionel's core.

We have a druid joining us eventually but the player builds really craptastic characters.

So yeah, no healer.

Quick question regarding this (and I'm asking not because I believe you're "cheating", but because I sometimes find I have long-held notions about the rules which many times prove to be incorrect... so I'm simply looking to learn something new).

Anyway, I was curious to discover how you'd gotten a +15 UMD at 3rd Level, so I took a peek at your character sheet (I hope that doesn't break any PbP etiquette). In doing so, I happened to notice your INT score is 22. I thought a character couldn't start with a stat higher than 20. Was I mistaken? I see you have the Venture-Captain boon and used that to increase your INT. Baruch also has that boon, but I applied it in such a way as to not exceed (what I believed to be) that cap of 20. As I haven't played the character at 2nd Level yet, could I rebuild it using that boon to get a stat to 22?
Male Human (Minnesota) GM 4 The Disappeared Tactical Map,

The wording of the rule in the guide implies you can go down to 7 or up to 18 via the purchase system. The additional rules regarding racial modifiers do not preclude a boon.

It's legal imo and from that i've seen on the boards.

As to UMD... clever wordplay puts UMD to Int.. not hard to get to 15 from there.

I'm constantly discovering I've made erroneous assumptions about the rules that place unnecessary restrictions upon my characters. I guess that's what happens when you get old and dozens of versions of dozens of systems start to run together in your memory.

Lucky me.

Male Human (Minnesota) GM 4 The Disappeared Tactical Map,

Before we go any further, is everyone okay with playing tier 4-5 w/ four players adjustment?

Right now. We've got a 1, 2, 2, 3, 3 and Mr Slanky - with his 5 we are 2.6 so up. If he plays his 2, we stay down.

Just putting it out there before we get into the meat.

I have no level 2. Have fun guys...

Seriously, I force this weekend's group to play up, or I force this group to play up. I'm out of characters again.

I could also step out. I'll leave the decision up to you all. Don't feel bad if it's "I don't want to play up", I realize that it's my desire to not make yet another level 1.

Gentlemen, I hate to do this to you, but I'm going to withdraw. I appreciate the invitation and all the fantastic help you've given me to get me started in PbP. Unfortunately, I just don't think I'm a good fit for this game at this time. Good gaming to all of you, though.

A ray-shooting sorcerer, and no snowball? (but since it'd deal electricity, it'd be an electroball!) Guess that's a nice change to the norm.
