Yay, combat! XD
I have a busy today today so I went ahead and posted. I hope I didn't mess too much up
Yup.
Sounds reasonable. I don't mind resonance but there are STIs more popular than that mechanic.
How does DR work now? Same as before?
|
DR works the same. They just lay it out a bit differently in the statblocks now. Instead of an all in one it is all under resistances.
cold 5, electricity 5, fire 5, piercing 5, slashing 5
or all 5 (except force, ghost touch, or positive);
Those are some examples from random creatures in the bestiary.
Little info. If a cleric uses all three actions to cast a healing spell, it extends to a 30 foot radius, healing the living and destroying undead. Could be useful right now. :)
I used all of Tegan's positive energy pool (0/4) though D: Unless you get infinite heals as a cleric?
Maybe we should grab water from the fountain and throw it on the skeletons?

With this part very near the end now would be a good idea to start building or upgrading your character for the next part.
You do no have to stay with the same character if you wish to try a different class. Also take a look at the errata 1.5 as they have significantly increased spell damage as it was quite watered down before.
Part 2 will end up taking place 2 years after this part.
“In Pale Mountain’s Shadow” takes place in the year 4709 ar, beginning in the recently liberated town of Kelmarane and moving to the
slopes of Pale Mountain—the same locations that feature prominently in the Legacy of Fire Adventure Path. This chapter assumes that the
events of that Adventure Path have started and are in the process of playing out, with the events of this chapter occurring during the year
of downtime built into the conclusion of Legacy of Fire’s first adventure, Howl of the Carrion King.
Cool. I'm thinking of playing a sorcerer. Or a ranger.
:)
I'll be in Florida starting this Sunday and coming back Wednesday at like midnight. I've been playing around with Google Slides on my phone and the app is being a butthead with moving my marker
I'll claim cleric.
Btw, what errata are we using? There's been some serious changes that have come out over the past few months.
I'll continue on with Dufek, as previously approved by the GM. But he is picking up a couple clerical cantrips as part of a move into that class through Cleric Dedication (now) and Basic Cleric Casting (later).
I'll level him up when we're ready.
EDIT: I'm updating Dufek to the new errata, and ran into this...
When my monk makes a Flurry of Blows, what’s the multiple attack penalty?
You calculate the penalty for two Strikes as normal. For example, if you made a Flurry of Blows with the first action on your turn, the first Strike’s attack roll would take no multiple attack penalty and the second would count the first Strike toward the multiple attack penalty, giving it a –4 if you’re using an agile unarmed attack.
So I've been doing it wrong. I'll correct that immediately. Too bad though. It definitely weakens the class. We'll see how it plays out. I worry about my low AC and healing issues (though they've cleaned that up a bit too).
I'm not planning on changing my character class, but I want to revisit weapons.
I will be on vacation until Wednesday. I'll have my phone but that's it
Ooh, if you're doing cleric dedication I'll see if I can go a little off-base with my build then. Maybe see if I can create something like an inquisitor with a rogue dedication or something.
I'm thinking of just updating grek. I'll decide and have the character up in a few hours.
Play whatever makes you happy!
Sorry for the delay. RL has been distracting

Now that Part 1 is complete don't forget to fill out the Survey for Part 1: The Lost Star.
As for time limit. If I did my Math right Part 1 took us 67 days. With each day equaling 6 minutes of Real-life gameplay then Part 1 took is 6 hours and 45 minutes to complete.
Also if anyone is looking for playtest credit then you will need to create a -1501 Playtest character and let me know you PFS info for reporting.
Here is a copy of an editable tracking sheet. Each of you will earn 4 playtest points but I will still need you info to report it on this site.
+36hp (10+2 (con) x 3 levels) (58hp)
+3 Resonance Points (3)
+3 Class DC (18)
Monk Feat (2nd & 4th)
•>> Stunning Fist (Class, 2nd) - The target must attempt a Fortitude save against your class DC (18). If the target fails, it’s flat-footed for 1 round. On a critical failure, it’s also stupefied 2 for 1 round. If your attack was a critical success, one of the following outcomes occurs: If the target succeeded at its save, it instead fails its save. If the target failed its save, it instead critically fails its save. If the target critically failed its save, it is instead stunned for 1 round.
Cleric Dedication (Class, 4th) - You cast spells like a cleric. You gain access to the Cast a Spell activity and the Material Casting, Somatic Casting, and Verbal Casting actions. You can prepare two cantrips each day from the divine spell list or any other cantrips you learn or discover. You’re trained in spell rolls and spell DCs for casting divine spells and in attacks you make with divine spells. Your key spellcasting ability for these spells is Wisdom. You can use wands, scrolls, and staves, but only for spells of a spell level that you can cast. Religion is a signature skill for you. Choose a deity as you would if you were a cleric. You’re bound by that deity’s anathema (Torag). Cantrips: Shield, Stabilize
Skill Feat (x2 2nd & 4th)
Student of the Canon (pp 173)
Underwater Marauder (pp 174)
General Feat (third)

Okay, so character will be up in a bit. Cleric with a ranger dedication. GM do you have any issue with me taking Ketephys as my deity? I'll just use Erastil's stats with a slightly different alignment.
Stats updated. Trying to work out my equipment. It's late here and I'm tired. I'll finish up tomorrow.
Here's my (draft) character. Need to review everything and figure out remaining cash. Wild elf cleric with a ranger dedication and an animal companion.
Since no one said otherwise, did grek get the ghost touch +1 dagger? He will take if he can. And how does that square with the new items we have? Is it extra, or in addition.
OK, gear done.
|

All of the gear from each of these goes away as you rebuild your characters. Though it does show back up in other Parts. Such as Part 4.
It is almost as if each of these are separate and the Order is holding onto what you find for a duration. Though you can always purchase it with the gold you have.
Okay, should be pretty much done. Let's see how an archer cleric with an animal companion works out.
Level 3 item - +1 chain shirt
Level 2 items - expert longbow, wand of heal
Level 1 item - light ammunition
Purchased goodies of note:
2 sleep arrows, 2 vine arrows.
Other gear is mundane equipment stuff.
Why isn't there a chart for saving throws when characters level?
Ugh, I hate math why do I do this to myself? :( I hate leveling up and settling character stats! >:(
Did we already establish how much gold we have to spend on equipment?

Desna. CG. Domain: Luck.
Available Desna Spells: 1st sleep, 3rd dream message, 4th fly.
3 (+1 Char mod) = 4 (page 229 Heal)
(page 195) You can hold a divine focus (religious symbol or text) as part of your Material Casting and Somatic Casting actions. (See page 200 for spell list.) Prepared spells remain available until you cast them or you prepare spells again. The number of spells you can prepare are called your spell slots.
Domain Power "Bit of Luck" Somatic Casting. 30 feet. You tilt the scales of luck slightly, adding a +1 conditional bonus to an attack roll, saving throw, or skill check (You or an ally within range.)
Feats:
Gain trained in two skills of your choice
When you fail a Recall Knowledge check using any skill that has that action, you learn one bit of true knowledge and one bit of erroneous knowledge, but you don’t have any way to differentiate which is which.
Deadly Simplicity: When you are wielding your deity’s favored weapon, increase the damage die of that weapon by one step (d4 to d6, d6 to d8, d8 to d10, d10 to d12)
Battle Medic: You can patch up yourself or an adjacent ally, even if you’re in the middle of combat. In order to do so, you must attempt a DC 20 Medicine check. Regardless of your result, the target is bolstered to your use of Battle Medic. If you’re a master of Medicine, you can instead attempt a DC 25 check to increase the Hit Points regained by 2d10, and if you’re legendary, you can instead attempt a DC 30 check to increase the Hit Points regained by 4d10. Success The target regains Hit Points equal to 1d10 plus your Wisdom modifier. Critical Success As success, but target regains 1d10 additional HP. Critical Failure The target takes 1d10 damage.
Lightning Reflexes: Trained to Expert Reflex Save
Communal Healing: You’re a conduit for positive energy, and as you channel it through you it heals some of your minor injuries. When you cast the heal spell to heal a single creature other than yourself, you regain Hit Points equal to the spell level of your heal spell.
Robust Recovery: Your physiology is especially strong against diseases and poisons, and you have learned folk medicine that allows you to help others recover from them as well. When you treat a disease or a poison, or someone else uses one of these actions to benefit you, increase the circumstance bonus granted on a success to +4.
Cantrips
*Forbidding Ward* (Somatic Casting.) 30 feet, one ally and one enemy. Ward your ally against attacks and hostile spells of the target enemy. Ally gains +1 conditional bonus to Armor Class and saving throws against the target enemy's attack, spells, and other effects.
*Guidance* (Somatic Casting.) Touch, one creature. Grants target +1 Conditional bonus to one attack roll, Perception check, saving throw, or skill check. Happens before roll.
*Light* (Somatic Casting.) Touch, single object. Casts bright light in a 20-foot radius like a torch.
*Stabilize* (Somatic Casting.) 30 feet, one dying creature. A single touch shuts death’s door. The target goes from 0 Hit Points to 1 Hit Point.
Cleric Power
(page 229) See Channel Energy Pool. 30 feet, touch, one creature. You channel positive energy to heal the living or damage the undead. You restore Hit Points equal to 1d8 plus your spellcasting ability modifier to a willing living target, or deal that amount of positive damage to an undead target. The number of actions you spend when Casting this Spell determines its targets, range, area, and other parameters.
1st-Level Spells
(Somatic Casting.) 30-foot aura, you and your allies in the aura, concentration up to 1 minute. Up to 1 minute. Blessings from beyond make your companions potent. They gain a +1 conditional bonus to attack rolls. Bless can dispel bane.
(Somatic Casting.) One non-magical weapon. The weapon glimmers with magic and energy. The target becomes a +1 magic weapon, gaining a +1 item bonus to attack rolls and dealing another die of damage on a hit.
(Somatic Casting.) 30-foot-area, enemies in the aura, concentration for up to 1 minute. Divine censure makes it difficult for your enemies to attack. Targets take a –1 conditional penalty to attack rolls. Bane can dispel bless.
2nd-Level Spell
(Somatic Casting.) 10 minutes, Touch, 1 creature. When you cast restoration, choose to either reduce a condition or lessen the effect of a toxin. A creature can benefit from only one restoration spell each day, and it can’t benefit from restoration more than once to reduce the stage of the same exposure to a given toxin. • Reduce a Condition Reduce the value of the target’s enfeebled, sluggish, or stupefied condition by 2. You can instead reduce two of the listed conditions by 1 each. • Lessen a Toxin Reduce the stage of one toxin the target suffers from by one stage. This can’t reduce the stage below stage 1 or cure the affliction.
(Somatic Casting.) Touch, 1 creature, 1 minute. The target makes no sound, preventing creatures from noticing it using hearing. The target can’t use sonic attacks, nor can it use actions with the auditory trait. (This prevents it from casting spells that include Verbal Casting actions.)

This starting combat! I thought Dufek was supposed to be immovable XD
Sorry, have had the flu. Back now.
The flu :( That's terrible. Sorry to hear that. Glad you're feeling better?
Happy new year from Australia. We get it before most of you. :)
At the end of this module, I think I'm going to step out so you can get someone else to come in for part 3. Real life is picking up and I think I need to reduce my activities
oooo undead :O Priests are about to show everyone up!
Just checking in, friends
I'm of a mixed mind since 2nd edition itself will launch in August so the point of the playtest is a loot moot. However it's good to have a group interested in 2nd ed anyways. I'll defer to the others.
Yeah, I'm inclined to bow out as well. They're changing a number of things, so this won't be the game we come to know when it is released.
I had thought it was a longer play test window, but apparently I didn't read the fine print. :)
EDIT: GM ninja - Yes, the three action economy is simple, clean, and fun. I'm half tempted to drag that into my 1.0 games...
