[PFS, OPS] PFS 5-08: The Confirmation (Introduction to PFS) (Inactive)

Game Master Blake's Tiger

Maps & Handouts



I'm recruiting for a table of The Confirmation for a new player or two. This is going to be a modified application recruitment.

It would be helpful if a couple of well experienced players could join to assist me in providing speedy responses to rules questions and questions on the quirks of PbP PFS play.

So, just state whether you're applying as a 'new player' (defined below) or a 'mentor' or 'regular.' I'll screen your aliases and campaigns to see if you're the right category and right fit.

Roster:

Aite
Maybe someone else
Open to anyone (ideally willing to mentor)
Open to anyone (ideally willing to mentor)
Open to anyone (priority to a new player)
Open to anyone (priority to a new player)

New Player Definition:

1. Fewer than 5 PFS/SFS games under your belt

OR

2. Fewer than 2 PbP games under your belt

Bonus: You've never played PFS.
Bonus Bonus: You've never played Pathfinder

I can join. I am thinking of making her a cleric of Calistria :)


How soon are you starting? I am about to head to PaizoCon so posting could be a little rough but I'd be happy to help out as a player/mentor if needed. I'm also happy for the spot to go to someone else.


Well, I have 2 overnights coming this week, then there's Memorial Day weekend. So I wouldn't expect to start this one before next Monday/Tuesday.

The Exchange

I'd love to join this table with Jon Rooi. I'm applying as a mentor!

I ended up making a new account because I didn't like the fact that her name looked like Ate (a verb) rather than Aite (goddess of vengeance )I couldn't do the accents in the name, for some reason) so I made a new alias.


I'm interested! I'm fairly new to both Pathfinder, PFS, and PbP. I'm in a couple of PbPs and am in love with the format, I play one character on a local table who has seen 2 games, and I GM'd one scenario. I have a Kitsune Hunter I'll make an alias for shortly. I've got her stats, just not her companion's. I'd fall somewhere between new player and regular.

Silver Crusade

Oh, this would be fun. Maybe I can try out an arcanist.

For future reference and peace of mind, you can edit a character or alias name any time before you've made 10 posts with that name.

You should contact customer support to have you extra account inactivated, since you can't have more than one Organized Play number. That way you don't accidentally get games reported on the wrong account.

The Concordance

Here is Rega Nin, the Kitsune Hunter! Pink, her pet panther, also has an alias set up.

Dark Archive

Oh, okay.

Silver Crusade

If you need another mentor, I've got a warpriest ready for action!

Silver Crusade

How feasible would it be to make a wizard based off my most favortist of mages, Raistlin Majere?

Scarab Sages

I've got some fresh 1st-level characters in need of adventure, I could join as a mentor!


You mean... a low Constitution human mage? Fairly easily.

The golden skin and all that comes with it... not so much.

Silver Crusade

No Master of Past and Present? Lol. How survivable would he be?


Less than your average PFS wizard, I suppose. Better than your 3e wizard in the same situation. The trend is to not drop Constitution below 10 to avoid a penalty to Hit Points, to your Constitution roll to survive when below 0 hit points, and to have a longer buffer to survive while below 0 hit points.

My concern were I to imagine playing such a character myself would be, "Am I going to be spending to many of my actions trying to keep myself alive rather than contributing to the overall survival of the group?"

Scarab Sages

*shrug* My 'flagship' character is an Elf Witch with a base Constitution of 8, and he's doing fine. He's not even the only CON 8 character I have; heck even my (Human) MONK has a Constitution of 8, and she's done fine (she did take Toughness pretty soon, though)!

Grand Lodge

if there is room for another player, i have a character i can bring in...can bring in whatever is needed...

What level is your witch? Could I see how the character is built please?

I'm doing a modified "application" method and taking "applications" until at least this Sunday.

Silver Crusade

Dinosaur animal companions: Seen plenty. Have one.

No, just express interest and I'll sort out the rest. I.e. you're good.

Voila. He's level 13 now (my first character to reach that mark), and while he has got a Constitution-enhancing belt and the Toughness feat, he did not get either of those until very recently (at or around 11th level). He has suffered one death to date, but that had very little to do with his Constitution and everything to do with getting cornered after an ill-timed failed saving throw versus a fear effect (a higher Constitution wouldn't have saved him).

Silver Crusade

Thank you.

Silver Crusade

I like your witch, he seems to be a very support character.

Dark Archive

Here is his profile,I just need to make him :)

I don't think in those terms. He's a Time Witch - and most everything that could be.

Dark Archive

Are there any spellbooks as treasure in PFS?

Scarab Sages

Yes there are, actually.

Dark Archive

How does he look? Is Generalist the best way to go to get the Raistlin feel? What about his feats?

Scarab Sages

I wouldn't know. My familiarity with DRAGONLANCE is minimal outside the 3.0/3.5 rulebooks. Maybe he should be a proper Necromancer.

You should get a crossbow, I can tell you that much - and you'd be better off with a Craft skill as your Day Job (though there's nothing wrong with a rank in Profession [herbalist]). You could definitely do better for a trait than Classically Schooled. Traits like that are more for characters who don't normally get the skill in question as a class skill.

As for his feats, brush up on what's out there, because there's a LOT; Scholar's fine, but you could probably do better. There's Toughness, of course (not a requirement, but you can't go wrong), and also Cunning, which is the skill point-equivalent thereof (maybe that suits him? Especially if he's supposed to have skills beyond standard Wizard fare).

Arcane Strike, metamagic feats (though not much use at 1st-level), Human-exclusive racial feats (including Fast Learner), the list goes on and on.

Dark Archive

Oh I like that trait.

Dark Archive

Here is she is (in profile) but I am torn between channel smite or selective channel because she is going to channel negative energy.

Grand Lodge

i would choose selective right now....avoid killing your party...smite can come later...

Dark Archive

That is true~

Dark Archive

When are we looking to start?


Monday/Tuesday

Dark Archive

I fixed him.


The following players should go to the Discussion page now available and follow the instructions. Experienced players, please follow the instructions as written as well (don't short cut or jump ahead) so as to not confuse the new players.

If you have something that 'breaks' the rules, please raise the issue in separate post by itself so that I can address it publicly for the benefit of the new players.

Nah, it's just a string of numbers I've always liked.
