I mean, Pathfinder 2e seems pretty cool so I forgive you.

I have mixed feelings. I am reserving judgement right now.

Same here.
EDIT: GM, for SOP's, how do you feel about take 10's and take 20's? I'd like to take 20 when I search for traps if allowed, however I understand that there is the potential to make a good deal of traps and the like moot than if I rolled. This would be for doors and other transition points where Flo does not believe that she is under pressure/in danger.
Feels like AD&D 2E to me.
I'm fine with taking 10 and 20 for perception if that's what you want. Taking 20 will require 2 minutes to examine a 5'x5' area.
I'm not going to allow Aid for perception checks. My logic is that the way the other person helps is by also looking, which ought to mean that if they succeed they have spotted what you are looking for. It seems weird that you might "help" someone find something without finding it yourself.
Guidance can assist attempts to take 10 but not to take 20 (the duration is too short).
Cool, then I'd like my SOP for doors and other obvious transition points to be to take 20 for now. When we start running through places with buffs, I'll probably have to come up with something else (or just roll).
Feeling really sick right now... (gastro)
Colvyn can scout ahead of the group, no problem.
Bot if needed, thanks
OK, will do.
Colvyn, I was looking on your sheet. You have a +4 "misc" bonus to Perception which took me a little while to figure out. But it should say "+2 race" and then separately (either in something later on or on a separate line) you should mention that you have an extra +3 (+1 from trapfinding and +2 trait) to find traps. On your stat line you could put:
Perc +9 (Traps +12)
Guys: we can assume that Floredana and Rig used whatever spell slots and channels they had left to bring everyone back to full HP.
So we have Colvyn scouting ahead... how far ahead?
Then we have:
Kargas
?
?
?
?
I would assume that Laurana and probably Floredana will be somewhere in the middle. You also should decide if you want someone tough as a rearguard.
I wouldn't put Cade too far back because his slower move means he won't be able to get to the front fast enough.
yes on healing. I can be rearguard, no problem
Single file:
Kargas
Cade
Flo
Laurana
Rig
Double file:
Kargas, Cade
XXX
Flo, Laurana
Rig
Just kind of tossed that together, does that look good for a default? XXX being 5 feet of space.
That sound great to me
Having a bit of fatigue, but we should be able to get back to normal hopefully.
Our day shift person has disappeared since Thursday and we've all been pulling extra hours. But she's supposed to be back tomorrow. Fingers crossed.
I'm putting another post together now.
I am sorry, I hate when I preview a post instead of submitting the post. Thank you GM for moving the character and that is the action I was doing...so all is good. But I have for total defense an AC of 23 right now. AC: 23 (10 Base +4 Dex +4 Armor +0 Natural Armor +0 Deflection +0 Magical +4 Dodge +1 Size)

Hmmm... did you only just update your sheet? Or... I must have been looking at your HP instead of your AC.
Okay then, you're good.
I did an update on my equipment and carrying capacity but did not update the actual line with the AC. That was my fault. What changed was the chain shirt that I got. I had it and RPd it out that I had it but never did I change the AC. sorry for my mistake.
I will post later tonight
When you are running a dungeon crawl and you are facing dead ends and empty areas it is best to just assume they are searched and then move ahead.
I would normally assume you are taking everything unless you say you want to leave things behind.
The ranseurs are 12 pounds each though. They are pretty heavy.
Just a heads up, I will be out of the country from this Saturday to next Saturday. I should have internet access, but there is always the chance that I won't, so bot me as needed!
Guys, I've been getting over a throat infection that slowed me down a lot more than I expected. Hopefully I will get things back to normal this weekend.
Get well soon!
This.
no worries, feel better
Yes, please feel better soon.
Having trouble shaking the cough but most of my other symptoms are gone. Hopefully we will be able to keep a good pace for the next while.
I will be traveling internationally until Friday. I will check in if I can but please feel free to Bot me if needed. Thanks.
quick heads up- computer problems may prevent me from posting as regular as normal for a few days. apologies for issues. bot me as needed. I will return!
Guys:
How do you guys feel about using a version of Automatic Bonus Progression? I have in mind a variant that would give you a bit more control over where the bonuses would end up.
Essentially you could spend money on things that affect your lifestyle of reputation rather than gear that is useful in combat. Things such as:
* Buying a house
* Donating money to an orphanage
* Throwing a big party
* Having a painting made of yourself
* Buying a gift for an NPC
Basically money that you spend on this kind of thing would be tracked and would allow you to buy things that can normally be had through Automatic Bonus Progression.
The cost for these things would be based on the cost to buy the equivalent magic item. Since a ring of protection in this game would normally cost 400 gp, spending 400 gp on a nice carriage would give you enough "Prestige" to buy yourself a permanent +1 deflection bonus.
It also gives players an incentive to spend money on stuff that real people would be spending money on. This stuff would not really have a use in the adventuring sense.
What do you guys think?
I'll write up a google doc with the full rules if we want to use this.
that sounds kind of cool. I'd be up for trying it
It sounds downtime-intensive, should we expect to get much use out of a hypothetical fancy carriage? I'd say no to ABP for this campaign, but I'll go with the group consensus.
I am cool with ABP in any sense.
BUT
I have seen where GMs use it in place of magical items as it is meant for. I tend to like the flavor of finding all sorts of cool things magical or other wise to flesh out the characters I play. I like magic stuff..lol
I'm intrigued for sure. But that is because Laurana would like to buy Old Light and turn it into a mage tower, so it would fit in with her plans.
I could go without ABP. I'm not opposed to it, but I'm also not for it.
I'm of two minds about this. I don't like the idea of running around to find the cash to get another +1 on a weapon. But I also like getting those weird magical items.
Whelp, this doesnt look good.
Hey guys. I don't have access to the map right now, so I'll upload it when I get home.
I will be traveling until Saturday, please NPC me if needed. The ball of flame is out so she will move that around.

Thanks, done that for this round.
BTW guys:
When we started out I said we were going to use an inverted saving throw system, where the generator of an effect gets to roll the saving throw for the effect. This required You to change your save listings to create a target number for enemy effects.
I am going to abandon that. Partly because I often don't remember to use the inverted saves, and also partly because some of you still have not gotten around to adjusting your saving throw listings.
So from now on I will just roll saves for everything.
Also: the idea of my modified automatic bonus progression got kind of lukewarm reception, so I'm not going to bother with it.
One other house rule that I had intended to use and will put into effect:
Dazzling with Teeth:
Being Dazzled is a lesser version of being blinded. But RAW all it does is impart a -1 to the enemy's to-hit chance. I am changing that so a dazzled creature has a 20% miss chance to hit enemies. This makes it a bit more worth it to try to dazzle enemies and also makes it resemble blindness (since a blind creature has a 50% miss chance).
Things that mitigate blindness (like the blind-fight feat or other senses) will also mitigate being dazzled.
Inverted Saving Throws: to clarify, you want us to reformat our taglines to reflect the traditional rules?
Dazzle that actually matters: I like that a lot. Although I'm sure we will be on the receiving end of that more often than our foes, I've always thought that dazzle was an incredibly weak condition.

Those of you that need to do so, yes please. Some of you never formatted for the house rule and don't need to switch back.

I am playing a character in another game that has flare as a spell-like ability once per day. It is annoying just how useless that spell is.
I'm still not sure it is worth a standard action in combat, but at least I can envision times when I would consider it.
Information changed. I left the Intimidate and Bluff class on there since that's something you could still have to roll against.
RIGHT?! Especially with the aid another mechanic, the situations where using a standard for a -1 are a good call are pretty scarce.
good call on dazzle. I actually like auto bonus progression, but I've never gotten to use it.
Greeting to all,
I am giving some advanced noticed that I will be out of town for sometime on vacation. I will not have internet access for most of that time but will try to check in on the game when and if I am able to do so. Please bot me as needed.
The dates I will be out of town are June 13th till July 3rd.
Have a good time!
test post, making sure the buffs & conditions are visible now. Also after checking back on all our fights today I've used 6/8 rounds of rage so far today.

Did you drop out of rage to drink the potion? That would mean you are fatigued for twice as long as you were raging.
I did, yes, I'll mark the conditions accordingly.

i am considering having rig urge kargas to urinate in the pool there to see if that brings the bad guy out of hiding :)
will post tomorrow, very tired from moving and packing for vacation.
I will be out of the country for the next 2 to 3 weeks please bot as needed. Thanks. I may be able to pop in every now and then...depending on WiFI in other countries.
