Game Master Redelia

Boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 11

Boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 17

Drat! I was really hoping to win that **REDACTED**!!

boon: 1d20 ⇒ 3
As expected.

Boon Roll (1 or 20): 1d20 ⇒ 12

Boons R us: 1d20 ⇒ 1

Woo hoo

And we have a winner!

Let me look into reporting this now, as Outpost is closing.

But we can continue the game as normal (they mainly want the reporting to be done so they can do all the paperwork etc. before the next Con).

@Chassarch
• can you give me your email, to receive your boon?
Either posting here or PMing me.

• can you roll a d2 to see which Boon you receive?

@Eselar: what is Eselar stands his ground and strikes twice at Kan-Zal?
Something you wanted to do but changed?

@Eselar: what is Eselar stands his ground and strikes twice at Kan-Zal?

Something you wanted to do but changed?

Yep :P

Boon: 1d2 ⇒ 1

Reported the game.

• Desha, I wrote your name as Mjolbeard89 and not "Mlolbeard90" (is that okay?)

• for the Second Seekers, there was no choice as to LE or Jadnura, so you'll just add that with a pen I guess

@GM SFS when you will hand over the chronicle, could you add that it count for the Skittermander boon? Thanks!

Yes, I will ask what you all want on your Chronicle sheets when I make them.
We still have some time before that.

And, yes, I don't know why I wrote "so you'll just add that with a pen I guess", since there will only be the one Boon emailed to Chase, and I'll be doing the Chronicle Sheets myself.
Sorry.
(so, as I said, I'll ask what you all want on them, and put EL or J for the 2ndS faction etc.).

Yeah, "Mjolbeard89" would be preferable. I have no idea how I messed up my own screen name so badly. Haha! Thanks for putting it in there correctly!

I have no idea how I messed up my own screen name so badly.
Drink only in moderation... before filling out one's info'!

@Chassarch: I have not had a detailed look at your character sheet, but while trying to figure out what Archetype you were using to see if you could use Heavy Weapons, I think I've spotted some mistakes (besides the ones put in the gaming thread, where I said I do not see you as having Heavy Weapons, but I might be wrong):
• you put Longarm Focus as your level 3 Feat, but if you are a Steward via Archetype (Officer?) you only get proficiency @ level 4 and you need to be proficient to get that Feat, so you need to switch your lvl 5 and lvl 3 Feats I think
• since you (I guess) an Archetype, I think you know too many spells. W. the archetype drawback I think that at 5th level, this means you know only two 2nd-level spells and four 1st-level spells, and it seems you have three 2nd-level spells listed as known (so, unless mistaken, I believe you need to remove one?).
I hope I have not made (too many) mistakes in my assessment of the situation and your character, and sorry for being a bother if I did mess up.

@Chassarch: was double checking to see if I missed any Feats re. Heavy Weapons, so I also saw that:
•  you put "Kinetic Resistance" under Divine Blessing (Oras).
I imagine that is the Enhanced Resistance feat (w. Kinetic chosen)?
If so, I do not believe you can select that Feat, since you are supposed to meet the prerequisites (and as lvl 5 Technomancer you do not have +4 BAB
• you did not list Spell Focus anywhere (I think you should have that among your Feats, via bonus Technomancer Feat)

Seeing as I had the impression things are not super well constructed, I had a quick look at your stats.
I hope I am not mistaken again, but they seem off to me:
I start w. Base
Str 10 - Dex 10 - Con 10 - Int 10 - Wis 10 - Cha 10
+ Halfling
Str 8 - Dex 12 - Con 10 - Int 10 - Wis 10 - Cha 12
+ lvl 5 boost
Str 10 - Dex 14 - Con 12 - Int 12 - Wis 10 - Cha 12
+ Dex augment
Str 10 - Dex 16 - Con 12 - Int 12 - Wis 10 - Cha 12
that means that to get to:
Str 10 - Dex 20 - Con 14 - Int 18 - Wis 10 - Cha 12
it seems you overspent by 2 points?
(since your Personal Boon slot has Scoured Stars Survivor, you did not get that from Legacy)

Which in turn led me to ask myself: what Theme did you take?
I see no mention of it in your Character Sheet
(and there should be some odd numbered Stat, since you get a +1 from that)

Ah yes, two key mistakes, I thought the flamethrower was a longarm and I forgot that my halfling +2 stat boon occupies my personal boon slot.

and it looks like I just skipped picking a theme because it wasnt important to me woops.

I will let you see what you wish to do.

@Starfinder-19 What do you mean by "By campaign rule"?
Additional resources?
Or some thing posted on the Forum?
Do you have a link?

I think they're referring to the "no Player-versus-Player" rule for the Starfinder Society campaign. I didn't think about that earlier, but I think they're right, though I would leave it up to your interpretation as the GM.

Here's the relevant quote from the Roleplaying Guild Guide:

"In keeping with the “cooperate” theme of the Starfinder Society, character-versus-character conflict should be kept to a minimum. Accidental friendly fire can happen (due to missed attack rolls or other factors), but players must obtain the consent of other players before deliberately including fellow PCs in damaging effects. In such cases, the damage dealer should offer to assist with necessary healing costs. This rule does not apply in situations where a character is not acting of his own initiative, such as being mind-controlled by an NPC to attack a fellow Starfinder."

In this case he will not have taking the risk at shooting Kan-Zal.
If I don't accept the damages, he can't shoot at Kan-Zal

No, there was a post for Thursty...

forum post by Thursty. Arc weapon crits ARE NOT considered PVP. I did misremember this a little.

So, it is clear that one of my allies would be hit for t( 2 damage... since no enemies were in range.
However, I could have been Chassarch as well?

Sorry, guys, but that’s how it works?

Yes, it could have been Chassarch, but since it was mistakingly directed at the Kasatha, I went with that.

So, the "rule" is (my bold):
Corner Case Starfinder Society Errata: An arc critical attack does not constitute as a Player Versus Player action. If an arc occurs and a fellow PC and foe are legal targets, then the foe must be selected. Otherwise, the arc bounce hits the PC. If the only valid target for an arc is an unconscious PC, then disregard the critical effect.

Thus I'll leave it as is.

Thanks for linking that post!

Well this fight is quickly becoming a bummer! I was really hoping we could find a diplomatic solution, but it's really looking like this was inevitable (and/or written into the scenario as a no surrender situation).

Now hopefully we can rally a bit and take out this uppity acolytes before they take anybody else out!

it's really looking like this was inevitable (and/or written into the scenario as a no surrender situation).
Not totally & no are the answers...

Wow!
Kan Zal has RP?
That'd be the first time I have seen an NPC with it!

Kan Zal trained in the Monastery.
Kan Zal is almighty.
Maybe he has RP.
Maybe he will RIP.

*Shrug*

Guess it was just a bad time for a bad Diplomacy roll then. Here's hoping we don't lose out on anything shiny because it didn't work out better!

Nothing should be lost.

I'll be in meetings all day today, so won't be able to post at all. Please bot me as necessary.

Added the Void Scholar in Slide 5.

@Chassarch: it has been over a week, yet you have not found time to amend any of the errors in your character sheet.
Can you please do so before the next encounter?

Due to some inclement weather that is expected in my area tomorrow, I might be unable to post anything until Tuesday morning. Bot me as necessary.

Sounds bad!
I hope it does not turn out to be destructive...
Be safe.

I've been busy but thanks for not calling me out repeatedly over this in public.

I made some fixes nothing to fix other than choosing a theme and the middle of an adventure isn't something I want to do for purposes of metagaming.

I purchased a heavy weapon I can't use, but that's not a problem I can fix, and I simply dont have Scoured Stars Survivor slotted anymore.

Super, thanks a lot!

@Chassarch:
• you wrote you were using a Blaze Agitator, but your sheet mentions a Plasma Bolter - I imagine it is just a typing mistake?
• and the +9+2: the +2 is from the wisp? (if so, it was already used for this round - but no problem, would still hit EAC even if that's the case)

Yeah that was just a not remembering which character of mine has which items mistake.

And that +2 (and the 2d6) was from using a 2nd level spell to power my gun as a move action with Empowered Weapons Magic hack - I described it and charged myself for it but I guess I didnt totally clearly declare it.

No problem about the gun, that's what I thought (just that I wondered for a second!).

re. the Empowered Hack, so that was the "MORE POWER" (I thought that was the Supercharge, sorry...).
But, then, just to make sure, did you not forget the 2d6?
You had:
2d8 + 2 + 4d6 ⇒ (6, 6) + 2 + (3, 4, 1, 4) = 26
Is that not weapon + spec' + supercharge? (I do not see the Empower's + 2d6)

Oh woops, yeah that was 2d6 more damage. No harm no foul. This what I get for trying to update in a big hurry

No problem!
You got it to -1 so 'twas dead (cold helped!), so no need to retcon the extra 2d6.

I'm going to fly to PaizoCon this afternoon! So my posting rate will be slow till monday evening :)
If needed, bot me.

Have a safe flight, Eselar, and have fun, as well to anyone who might be traveling with you (and that I might know)!

Wow... you do seem to be "living the scenario"!

Thanks! Went with Florence who says Hi! :)

Fatigued
You can neither run nor charge, and you take a –1 penalty to your Armor Class, attack rolls, melee damage rolls, Reflex saving throws, initiative checks, and Strength- and Dexterity-based skill and ability checks.
The amount of bulk you can carry without becoming encumbered is reduced by 1.
If you are fatigued, doing an activity that would normally cause fatigue causes you to become exhausted instead.
After 8 hours of complete rest, you are no longer fatigued.

Hello all!
Tomorrow I am flying to Warsaw (Poland) so leaving at 5 am...
I probably will get Internet in airports etc., but might not post till the evening.

No problem Starfinder.
I hope all is well.
I would have waited more, but since it seemed that the action would be moving, I though it safe.
Please move a bit if you wish to be elsewhere (I spent 11 squares to get there) or retcon if you move less and do something.

good enough.

I also think that since Each round on your turn, the microbot cloud grants harrying fire (see page 247) against the foes in its spaces. that would mean the first attack after Chassarch's round (when/if he maintains etc.) gets a +2.
(which worked fine this case, since it was the 20 that did not hit, whereas the 22 hit)
On the other hand I believe that the cloud grants covering fire (see page 246) to anyone attacked by foes in its spaces means that all its attacks are vs. an AC higher by 2, even if multiple attacks etc.
(was flying back from Poland today, so will check tonight in books etc.)

From the CRB:

For every 2 damage you take to an ability score, reduce your ability modifier by 1 for skills and other statistics affected by that ability.
If your total damage to one ability is equal to your score in that ability, you cease taking damage to that ability score, but you fall unconscious until the amount of damage is less than your score.
You recover from ability damage to each affected ability score at a rate of 1 per day.
Reductions to your ability score modifier from ability damage affect skill checks and ability checks that use that ability score, as well as on the DCs of spells and other abilities based on that score. If you take damage to your key ability score, you also lose 1 RP for every 2 damage you have taken to that ability score. The entries below describe other rolls affected by the reduced modifier.

So Starfinder-19 for example reduces INT modifiers by 2 (from 4 INT damage)
Which means -2 to INT skill checks, DCs of spells (at least Magic Missile has none), "and other abilities based on that score" (I think I will pretty much only count the fact you need 10 + the spell’s level INT to cast). Since I imagine INT is Starfinder's Key Ability, he has just lost 2 RPs.
