Checking in!

Checking in. But my profile isn't complete. Sorry about that.

Edit: Now it is.

Here! Still making some small adjustments.

Hello hello!

Take your time everyone!

Whoops! I didn't see any update tags for the game so I had no idea it was moving along.

I also need to wrap up the chronicle sheet from my last mission. I need to learn/purchase some spells so it might take me a day to figure that out.

I'll also be making some changes to my build.

Almost done with the changes. I Just realized that Investigators have the option to craft things just like Alchemist for 1/3 the cost. So I'm finishing that from the lats adventure. If you're okay with it, I'll go ahead and post while I finish up my changes.

Actually, the wording that allowed Investigators to use their Alchemy skill like Alchemists was removed in the 2nd revision... not sure if they intend to put it back in or not, but you might want to be cautious about doing too much of the crafting, might make the paperwork a pain later if they don't add it back in when the official class comes out.

See here for a discussion on that topic.

Thanks for the heads up. Can you point to the actual link for the 2nd revision. I know they reprinted the guide a second time. I'll double check that.

I just downloaded the Guide that was updated on 12/9/13 and it says this:

Alchemy (Ex): Investigators are highly trained in the creation of mundane alchemical substances and magical potionlike extracts.

When using Craft (alchemy) to create an alchemical item, an investigator gains a competence bonus equal to his class level on the skill check.

The problem is not that bit, its getting around the 'no crafting' rules in PFS... there's a specific rider that allows Alchemists to do it (and for a brief time, Investigators, but the later was removed apparently) ... dunno if they intend to add Investigators back in, probably won't know til the official class comes out.

Its similar to using wands... Alchemists are allowed to, but Investigators cannot.

The revised playtest document just replaced the original one, there's not a separate link to it.

If Investigators, by RAW, function as Alchemists for crafting alchemical items, then why would you need separate entry in the AR to allow something that is already stated?

In order for it not to be true it would have to be explicitly prohibited.

Also can you point to the link that says Investigators can't use Spell Triggers? I see one that says they can't use Spell Completion.

EDIT:
Hmmm. I think you're correct on spell-triggers. It's specifically mentioned for Alchemist, but nothing similar for Investigator. Good thing I invested in UMD and took Pragmatic Activator!

No sign of the witch player yet?

Okay, finally got it all straightened out. Updated my character sheet and the name is a link to a more detailed sheet with all the gear and skill mods listed.

Thanks for being patient.

sounds good

Hey guys, sorry for dropping off the face of the earth this weekend. I took a role in a play at the last minute to replace a guy who had to drop out unexpectedly and we open tomorrow night and I have a lot of lines to learn so I won't be able to post until Tuesday probably.

No worries, I will DMPC when necessary. Real life first you know!

@GM: Perhaps I've missed it, but which map? Can't find a map anywhere.

Didn't want a heal bot :P A negative cleric seemed like more fun.

I should mention Sickly helped me realize I cannot have the Fire Domain with Pharasma as deity. I replaced it with water, because then the attack spell I get is quite similar. Or as Clair would say: "Corpses are always cold, how lovely during summer."

For that reason I have purchased the item 'Flint and steel' for 1gp, because I might just need fire.

Well, You got to play what you enjoy playing. Though I have to say, in the missions I've either played with Kyra the cleric pregen, or GM'd, god it's been a cake walk for that group. And I've seen this at level 1, 4, and 7. And this is the pregen Kyra with zero optimization.

While I will agree that PFS missions are easy enough that you don't really need a dedicated healer (and this mission is no exception), having one changes the game dramatically. A good cleric can allow the front line fighters to just wail full on. Especially with low AC frontliners like rage Barbarians. Few classes, if any, can do as much single target damage as a standard THF rager.

That having been said, I tried playing a Varisian cleric of Sinashakti: Luck Domain and Travel Domain. Extra Channels, traits for boosted heals. After having teamed with Luck Domain clerics, I thought I'd really enjoy hitting people with Bit of Luck. But man that cleric was just not fun to play at level 1. I really can't stand the lack of Skills. So I can't fault anyone for not wanting to play the dedicated healer. And in except for a few occasions, there just isn't enough combat to make the class as rewarding as it can be.

I haven't uploaded it yet, I am still working on the encounter... Will have it up first thingin the morning. I had to work and get ready to help GM a local game tomorrow

Back! Opening night went well.

I'll be out of the country most of tomorrow, and I won't be able to post while gone. I might be able to make a post tomorrow evening. If that doesn't happen I'll post again on Tuesday.

Back early, hi again!

Welcome Back.

Clair tries to help out her companions by applying all the social skills she has. "Gillman, may I offer you a discount on a coffin? My family sells them in a variety of colors."

Ha. That made me laugh. In a home game, I could see a GM giving a negative modifier for that offer :)

But poor Clair doesn't know better! Hehe :P

Heh, seems doubtful that underwater critters would use coffins, they'd all be bobbing on the surface like corks... Perhaps this is her chance to start a whole new line of Undersea burial receptacles.

Good idea! Where death is, is profit. Let's take coffin designs to a whole new level!

"And here we have the economy model... Yes, good eye there. It is just a rope and some sandbags..."

lol

Did we lose our GM?

Heh.

i am back and yes borax

Krash, the next official PbP begins on April 5. I am seriously hoping we can get this done by then. At this pace, I'm hoping we are skipping the optional encounter...if any.

Agree, Borax.

Would be nice to be done for that... but the pace of this one seems very slow, so hard to know.

Yeah it is my fault it is slow. If you want, I can stop now and give you guys the Chronicle sheets...

Things are slowly getting back to normal though... I don't work till 2pm friday and saturday, off sunday so I can post atleast once on those days. Also, anyone have a link to the online gameday?

Here Krash. lifted off one of the recruitment.

This game will be run as a part of the Second Official Pathfinder Society PbP Game Day. All games will begin on April 5th, 2014. For more information click here. To sign up for this scenario simply post your interest with the appropriate character alias below.

Yeah it is my fault it is slow. If you want, I can stop now and give you guys the Chronicle sheets...

With a quickened pace we should be able to finish the scenario before april?

Guys chill. As long as we all pull together and post daily, We should be able to finish this by April.

To speed it up, I suggest if there's any reactive actions such as perception, initative and saves to be made, let our GM do it.

Ours is to post our actions and have him resolve it.

All my shifts are at the same time this week, meaning no need to worry about how much sleep I get between them. I can post once a day every day except MAYBE Tuesday... I am off today so I should be able to post again after dinner tonight, and then maybe one more before bed.

*cough*

We will count this as Wednesday's post... I actually completely forgot to post this morning... Apologies! I can post again tomorrow before 12pm PST
