Oh, ok. Those will work if you take the time to process the bullets before they are loaded. After the cartridge it wouldn't be a great idea to apply them.
You ought to pick up some Craft Gunsmiting or you want to sell those blanches. They cannot be applied to loaded cartridges and you need the skill to load ammo yourself (though I suppose Williamson has people for that).
can Tirion have previously purchased some blanche-treated ammo before depatrure -- as part of his preparations for the mission? Blanches are alchemical rather than magical; and given the nature of Alkenstar's neighbor to the south, I imagine such ammo is fairly common (especially to military persnnel)...
I can switch some skills around i suppose, i just figured since gunsmithing feat lets you make ammo with no roll and you give it up with Guns Everywhere it would be common knowledge on how to make ammo, just as it is to fire a weapon.. I have np switching some skills around though it you want me too.. If so its takes a DC 15 to make a crossbow bolt, would this suffice for Craft Ammo DC? If so i need just a +5 to be able to take 10, and i can get that by switching just 2 ranks around so no biggie..

Yes, just not adamantine.

No, the reason "Guns Everywhere" swaps out craft gunsmiting is that the assumption is that ammo is common enough that you don't need to know how to reload ammo.
We live in an era of Guns Everywhere right now (in the US at least). Do you know how to load ammo? I know most shooters, much less non shooters sure don't. Someone had to teach me how to do it.
I do in fact know how to reload ammo, I have a Hornady Lock and Load setup, with pistol and rifle dies.. But i get your point.. Ill switch 2 ranks around if a DC 15 craft check is sufficient to load ammo..
I think there were 2 reasons they gave gunslingers Craft Gunsmiting for free:
A) Because of the cost of bullets in game mechanics they wanted to make them manageable
B) In terms of historical accuracy it was a good idea because for early firearms the barrel calibers were not very consistent and thus to make accurate rounds you generally used your own bullet dies which were provided at the same same that your gun was crafted.
But you are a fairly rare person in that you know how to reload. You have to admit it isn't a completely trivial skill.
so Tirion has 5,055gp left, and I've updated his equipment list with 10 of each of the 3 types of blanched rounds, and 4 quickloaders -- each with 6 of one type (normal, Silver, Cold Iron, and Ghost Salt), loaded in separate quick-loaders...
5,000gp will be saved away, and 55gp for daily living expenses: A third of that is for booze, half is for loose women, and the rest -- well the rest is just wasted...
Quick loaders!!!!!
How much? How do they work?!
Quickloaders are not available. We're talking 1873 peacemakers (side door for loading, so speedloaders are not possible, we have not yet developed the swing out revolver).
Cool, yea my dad has always reloaded rifle cartridges so it was only natural that i picked it up.. I do agree though, it isn't something one just picks up in a day.. Alot of exactness to it if you want good, repeatable accuracy..
Oh, fine (it was worth a try!). I guess they're not really necessary, since Tirion can extract just exactly what he wants from his Handy Haversack when it's time to reload: "six silver-blanched bullets, please" ...
perhaps Tirion should take Rapid Reload (as a Combat Trick rogue talent) instead of Trap Spotter?
So dm could I twf w my pistol and shuriken? Not sure when I would do it but just pondering
I don't see why you couldn't. I can't imagine why you would want to however.

Honestly I doubt it's that big an issue since you ninja types seem more likely to be melee guys, but it's your build. Also the team does likely need someone for traps (well maybe, I haven't seen too many traps in this AP as of yet, but you never know).
I dunno. I guess if I found myself w a baddie 10 feet up or something
It might cone up 2 times in the campaign
Also how many of us are pfs players?
Well I have yet to see anyone actually want a PFS Chronicle when I asked, so I assume only the new folks.
Well that would be you and three of us so it could work
I dont think we can qualify for the pfs portions as we're outside the guielines on some things.. Several things have been houseruled for example, although i wont tell if yall wont :)..
Tirion will retain Trap Spotter.
Actually you don't have to be playing PFS characters in an AP to get PFS credit. You can take a chronicle sheet from playing an AP and apply it to any applicable PFS character afterwards. I think this is a marketing tool for selling APs.
so what is happening in the GP thread?
I've been waiting for Urga to attack, but I'll just bot him this turn.
I wasnt for sure how that worked.. Good to know..
Just kill if already!
Ok, bad guy down. After searching and interrogation(hint, hint) we'll be getting everyone on board.
Cue the new players. You are being introduced.
Also, I gave Thomas the heave ho since he has not posted in 2 months (and without warning on top of it).
Party will stand at six members.
Also, everyone should be 6th level now if you have not already leveled up. The next section is the final section of this volume, and will get you all to 7th.
Im 6th.. Gun tank ready to go.. Now I just need some mithril fullplate..
Level 6:
+1 level Invulnerable Rager
Urga's updated stats are in his profile.
Guys, it's with sadness that I must bow out of the game. Stupid real life is really messing with my enjoyable activities and it's not fair to anyone that I keep playing when I may have to go for prolonged periods of time without posting. Good luck, good adventuring and thanks for the fun.
OK, thanks for playing.
dang that Hadjii! He just can't stop poking in where he doesn't belong!
I will be out of town with limited internet till Sunday, so we'll resume then.
Got in later than expected last night, so I will be updating today.
OK, so we're down Billy. Not sure if Flick intends to stay active since he's been rather sporadic.
But Billy is surely gone, so do we want to replace him? I will make a targeted recruitment if so since I will only want someone reliable.
I'm going to try to stay active, now that I'm down to 1 playing and almost done with 1 GMing.
Just dotting some threads to make it easier to notice them. Don't mind me.
That is the replacement for Billy BTW.
Here comes the new guy, and Tirion's all face-down and bleeding out -- how embarrassing!
That's ok, I'm sure he's still useful as a weapon brace for sniping. Just have to make him pay for the cleaning bills later.
Sorry for in game confusion dm
On vacation and doing rapid phone posting
2nd page of this sheet is out loot list
DM can you put it up top?
done
I wasn't given enough time to reply to the last post.
I'm trying to keep the game moving and you had not posted in 24 hours.
FYI this is the last part of the current book (you might have figured that out from the clue in the loot). After the current fight you will head back for a debrief and level up to seven. Then you are off to the next part.
woooo, lets not die! LOL
If you can't kill these chumps after you already splatted the end boss, you don't deserve to be 7th.
Tirion your cloak gives you +4 stealth
