Protecting the Firelight from the Cataclysm of Oracles (Inactive)

Game Master Michael Hallet

I will get RPG Chronicles and other things set up by the weekend.

Atae's PC options:

I have a few characters that can do, depending on need
5th level champon,
5th level ranger/acrobat
7th level wizard/magabayyan cascade bearer
8th level cleric, her :)

RPG Chronicles is ready.

Let's do the discussion of what everyone is bringing here, and keep Gameplay for our adventure. I am bringing Tess, a 7th level Ancestor Oracle. Though she is an elf, she is a duskwalker, created roughly 7 months ago, so she is a 'new' soul, fascinated by everything the mortal world has to offer.

I have 4 Glyphs as does Bret, so everyone starts with 2 Hero Points.

Bret and I will be gone during GenCon, but may be able to update once a day... Still, we will be distracted as we are both on the GM Indentured Servitude Plan.

I think my best option is Brekovi, my 7th level ysoki wizard from Pashow, Thuvia. They have previously worked with Tess.

I would need to level the character.

I do have other options. None of them are martial characters.

I have glyphs, but they do not matter now ;)

THanks @Mike for running this table and having me, Hey @Hmm and Bretl, great to be playing with you again. Hey all!

For the PCs I have:
Bard lvl 7 or 8 (need to count chronicles) that I would like to play this scenario with ;)
Flames Oracle lvl 7 (but I think we have Oracle already)
Wizard lvl 8 (Ysoki ;) but we have this one as well)
Magus lvl 5 (frontline) - I will play him if we have no other front folks, but since we seem to be heading into high tier I would try to avoid playing lvl 5 PC ;)

Players are:

Hmm
Bret
Atae
BakBat
Farol

I've got the following:

7th level healer/cleric
7th level Witch of the Night - this one which needs levelling.
7th level elementalist
6th level Angelic sorceress
6th level fey sorceress
5th level cosmic oracle
5th level Baba Yaga witch
5th level Magus
5th level winter witch
5th level poppet wizard

Do we want to go high or low? Also offering 3 glyphs

Copied from Gameplay.

One of my other options would be to bring two dragons.

Dragon-Scaled Kobold Summoner 7 with Dragon Eidolon

I may have missed it, has BakBat said what they have for characters?

Bakbat wrote:
'I have a 7th level Sorcerer who can play 5-08' which makes sense:
Bakbat profile

So we have a dedicated healer and blasty casters?

So of the options mentioned, I think we are looking at:

Hmm
Tess, ancestry oracle 7

Bret
Tarcog, summoner 7 with dragon eidolon that can melee
or
Brekovi, wizard 7

Ira Kroll
BakBat, 7th level sorcerer

Farol
Xun Saburo, Bard 7 or 8

Jason R
Atea, cloistered Cleric 8, versatile font (harm or heal)

phaeton_nz
Luna Moon, witch 7

I can not see the Pathbuilder character sheet for BakBat so I don’t know what they bring to the table.

Atea and Tess both have Battle Medicine.
Atea and Tess have Heal while Xun Saburo has Soothe.

It looks like the group has fairly broad skill coverage although there are a few holes.

Although Brekovi fills in the group skills better, I think we probably need someone to support Tess in melee.

Shall I bring Tarcog?

She also has soothe from Captivator but if ee have a healing oracle is a cleric needed?

If Tess is going to be our front line, that doesn’t leave a lot of time for healing in combat.

Why, what character were you considering playing instead of Atea?

I would prefer Atae

She is actually 9th level!

Let me level my champion, he will be 6th level.

With Champion in the mix, I will bring my Wizard.

I will get my profile updated tonight.

Here he is. 6th level paladin chamption/knight of last wall

Is there anything else that I should buy? I wasn't sure if I should have gone knight vigilant or knight reclaimant. I like the whole crimson theme for Ragathiel. I am looking forward to the new champion codes. I am looking at making him a Grandeur champion,

I think you have an invalid piece of equipment.

+1 disrupting striking ghost touch bastard sword

You have put two property runes (disrupting and ghost touch) on a weapon with only a +1 potency rune.

Runes are limited.
“The number of property runes a weapon or armor can have is equal to the value of its potency rune. A +1 weapon can have one property rune, but it could hold another if the +1 weapon potency rune were upgraded to a +2 weapon potency rune. Since the striking and resilient runes are fundamental runes, they don't count against this limit.”

——

As for missing equipment, I can suggest a few things.

A composite shortbow or composite longbow along with some arrows would be useful for when the foe is outside javelin range.

You should have a free wayfinder by now. Go into the boons tab of Organized Play, it will allow you to get one for free. While there, you might as well pick up a Mentor boon in case you ever play at a table where someone is getting a level bump.

A magical item that gives an item bonus to a skill you use such as Athletics, Medicine or Religion. This page lists equipment that give Item bonuses to skills.

If you own the Lost Omens Pathfinder Society Guide, a Pearly White Spindle Aeon Stone will allow you to slowly heal while you are refocusing or doing other things.

If you aren’t going to put runes on all your weapons, carry an Oil of Potency or something like it so you can make other weapons magical. A scroll of Runic Weapon is another way since most groups would have someone who could use it for you.

+1 disrupting striking ghost touch bastard sword

Disrupting probably comes from the Blade Ally ability.

"In your hands, the item gains the effect of a property rune and you also gain the weapon's critical specialization effect."

It only gains the effects of the rune. It isn't inscribed with the rune and doesn't count against the property rune limit.

That is the weapon ally rune that he gets as a champion.

I got a short compoiste bow with striking and a +1, Are these runes required for his other weapons? Those runes do end up being less expensive than scrolls and oils in the long run, don't they?

Sorry, it wasn’t obvious to me that you were using Blade Ally to put one of the runes on the weapon.

It isn’t difficult to support two weapons with runes if you keep to just the fundamental runes on the secondary weapon. I have done it on a couple of characters. It does take a little bit of care as you could run into a situation where a rune for your primary equipment could get delayed if you don’t plan your purchases.

The damage from just the fundamental runes are sort of needed in order for the weapons to be worthwhile. Without them, you will likely run into situations where you can not get past resistances.

Mike, can we use Doug Hahn's Macro sheet to make secret rolls easier?

That does make a lot of sense.

Mike, can we use Doug Hahn's Macro sheet to make secret rolls easier?

To chime in, Personally I stopped using it. Even if I get all of the players to fill it in (and usually I get 4 out of 6, and then I have to chase the two players to do it), I feel like it discourages people from posting. To give an example:

- GM posts intro to a mission with RK at the end (story old as time)
- Gm goes to macro sheet rolls it, provides responses
- GM moves the party forwards as effectively all of the thing is done, maybe beyond the questions.

I felt that it times it takes away incentive from players to post, and despite that post: 'Society +8' is not really a post, some players use it as an excuse to RP along.

So all in all, I felt like I prefer to not use that sheet - however I do love his sheet for initiative tracking ;)

p.s. i have almost update Xun to lvl 7, I still need to update his items.

I tend to use the spreadsheet as it makes it much easier for the GM to do secret rolls, other players to bot a player that hasn’t responded in a while, keeps the game moving, and makes it easier to see what skills various characters have.

If we are not going to use the spreadsheet, I will need to expand my botting profile more. I already need to make updated botting, but for saves and skills the spreadsheet is easier than creating it for a botting spoiler.

I will provide something a bit later when I have some time tonight.

Here is a sheet to fill out so that I can do you secret rolls.

Macros

Can you grant me editing priveleges?

done

Macros filled in.

Let me know if you want every feat related to a skill or save listed. I didn’t list things like Experienced Tracker, Forager.

GenCon will be interfering with my posting schedule for the next week. Feel free to bot if I don’t respond quickly enough.

Same.

He is updated and filled out the Google Sheets under Player 3

Looks like bonfire and children were the top 2. I'll move us on in the morning.

GM, can you make Atae inactive please?

I had to say good-bye to my 17 year old tabby this morning.

Sorry to hear that.

Hopefully many fond memories remain.

Sorry for the delay. I had to take my son to the doctor's office this morning.

Hope it was nothing serious and that he is alright.

I had him since he was 2 months old. He was such a good boy. I keep expecting to hear him call because he wants water from the sink spicket or to cry for treats or to call him to give him his medicine.

Is it too late to remaster him?

It is. The purpose of starting this now was to lock characters into their pre-remaster versions before the updates become mandatory on the 12th.

Looks like a roll is needed from Tess since their result could change the outcome. Given that Gen Con is happening now and I am going camping for a week starting tomorrow, I am not in a rush to push this game forward.

If you haven't already done so, please fill out RPGChronicles and the Macros, linked at the top.

How long do we have to revise characters?

You can use your free rebuild until the end of the year.

Thank you!

I don’t think there is any reason you couldn’t create the rebuild and apply it at the end of this session, thereby not having to worry about getting another game in before the end of the year. You just would play the current version and use the rebuild at the end.
