Turn Order:

4 - Varian/Zalarian

Standard Supporter & Base Rules:
Supporters are a new type of support card representing helpful citizens of Korvosa and its environs; unlike allies or cohorts, they will not adventure with you. The Base is a special location used in many scenarios; it represents a safe place where characters can seek help from supporters.

You start the Adventure Path with no supporters. When a reward lets you rally a supporter, check it off on the Rallied Supporters card on the back of the Base. If you are required to uncheck a supporter, it no longer counts as rallied.

When a scenario lists the Base, set it out with the other locations as usual. When you build the locations, shuffle all of your rallied supporters into the Base; do not add story banes to it. The Base cannot be closed while it has cards in it, and can never have cards in it other than supporters. Characters may start at the Base and can move to and from it normally.

The Base counts as a location only for exploring, examining, and moving; it does not count as a location when counting locations or determining if villains can escape to it. If all other locations are closed, or the Base has neither cards in it nor characters at it, the Base closes automatically. (A simplified version of these rules appears on the Base as a reminder; these are the complete rules.)

You may play supporters from your hand only while you are at the Base. Once displayed next to your character, you may use their powers regardless of your location. If you move from the Base, shuffle any supporters in your hand into the Base. At the end of each scenario, return all supporters to the vault.

Each supporter has a feat similar to a character’s power feat. If a reward gives the party a supporter feat, check a box on a rallied supporter to gain access to that power. If the feat specifies a supporter, check it off on that supporter.

PACS/Sanctioned Supporter Rule Changes:
Each character has their own Rallied Supporters list. When the party rallies or unchecks a supporter or gains a supporter feat, each character does so on their own list. (When there is a choice, each character makes their own choice.)

When a scenario includes the Base, shuffle all supporters rallied by at least one character into it. Each character may only play supporters they have rallied and may only use supporter feats they have gained.

    Presumably Ukuja is free to take one of the 3 ally 1s. I'll roll if 4 or more of us want one.
    Using my hero token for power feat +1 hand size.

    boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 9
    deck handler

    I think you mean Item 1, not Item 2? :)

    Upgrades:
    Weapon 1 (Katana +1): 1d1000 ⇒ 411
    Item 1 (Pearl of Wisdom): 1d1000 ⇒ 162

    Although if someone wants a Weapon 1, he is totally fine to get the Item 1 instead.

    Scratch what I said on discord. Forgot that he hadn't gotten the important Power Feat yet. He'll spend the Hero Point on a Power Feat: You may reveal an ally that lists Diplomacy in its check to acquire to add 1d4 (X +1) to your check.

    boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 12

    Aric's Deck // Searching For: Item 3 > Weapon 3 >> Ally 3 >>>>> Armor 3

    I'll pass on the upgrades, maybe I'll start taking them when I get a Card Feat

    I'll be Tiering Up to Tier 2.

    Boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 6
    deck handler

    So I'm assuming Heggal got the Weapon 1 (Katana +1) but think we're still pending Reta. I'm still fine to swap but will post my starting hand.

    Katana +1 will replace Mace. If not Pearl +1 will replace Portable Ram.

    Also, will replace Standard Bearer with the Core version.
    Human Investigator Deck Handler Looking for: (Most level 6 upgrades, especially Items)

    So we have:

    Ukuja: Ally 1
    Heggal: Weapon 1 (probably)
    Varian: Spell 1
    Quinn: Blessing 1
    Aric: --

    That just leaves Reta.

    There are still 2 Ally 1s, an Armor 1, a Blessing 1, 2 Item 1s, and a Spell 1 uncontested. If Reta wants any of those she can just take it.

    If Reta wants the Weapon 1, though, Heggal has said he is prepared to take an Item 1 instead.

    So it looks as though everybody can go ahead and upgrade their hands.
    ➳ Deck Handler ➳

    I'll take an ally 1, and with that I'll get Xoff.

    I'll also be using my hero point to add +1 to my dex checks.

    Mid-Scenario 1B Acquired Cards:
    Gentleman Explorer (Ally 1)
    Sage (Ally 0)
    Porcupine (Ally 0)

    Deck Handler Desired upgrades meh

    Ukuja would like one of the weapon 1s upgrading Terbutje to Stone Axe +1 mostly to get another magic weapon in the deck.

    I think this our 3rd scenario. Ukuja will save the hero point for now.

    boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 14

    I'll use my Hero Point for a Power Feat:

    Aric: [X]When you encounter a boon, you may examine the top card of your location deck

    TRR: At the end of your move step ([X] or turn), you may examine the top card of your location deck.

    Still no upgrade for me.
    Human Investigator Deck Handler Looking for: (Most level 6 upgrades, especially Items)

    OK - Quinn will take a Blessing 1 to upgrade a Blessing of the Quartermaster to a Blessing of Abadar
    ➳ Deck Handler ➳

    It doesn't seem like people are going for weapon 1, so I'll take one if that's ok with yall. I'll get a Force Shortbow +1.

    I'll hold onto my hero point for now instead of spending it.

    Mid-Scenario 1C Acquired Boons:

    Quinn will bank his Hero Point (he's already got three feats at Tier 1).
    He will be tiering up.

    He's not that concerned about upgrades, but if there's a Weapon 1 or Armor 1 left unclaimed he could find a use for it.
    Deck Handler Desired upgrades meh

    4th scenario at tier 1 and spending hero point on card feat Spell.
    Hoping for Spell 1 upgrade but if 2 other people want spell 1 I'm fine with Blessing 1.

    COMPLETED SCENARIO 1C: THE DEAD WARRENS - Summary

    SCENARIO REWARD:

  • Rally the supporter Thousand Bones.

    ======================

    No more boon rolls, unfortunately.

    ➳ Deck Handler ➳

    I'll use my hero point to gain a card feat feat for Blessing- I'd like to get a blessing 1 and get a blessing of Shax, but if I can't get it I'll fill the empty spot with a blessing of the gobs.

    Blessing 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 803

    If I can't get the blessing 1 I'd try for the armor 1, and get Magic Studded Leather Armor.

    Armor 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 308

    Once I can confirm the upgrades I get I'll skedaddle.
    deck handler

    I notice that some are tiering up but some are not. What are the pros and cons of either?

    Heggal will keep his Hero Point since he's maxed out for Tier 1.

    Deck Upgrade: He'll like Spell 1 to get Augury to improve his examine capabilities.
    Male Half-Elf | My Deck Handler Wizard / UM (12789-1012)

    Off the top of my head:
    Pros: get access to 2nd power, skill and card feat sooner
    Cons: Limit the number of times character can be played but usually not an issue if plan is to play character through whole season/adventure path.
    Deck upgrades can be taken that have a limit of tier of the character or AD of the adventure; whichever is lower. A tier 1 character playing a tier 2 adventure can use a tier 2 card for deck upgrades but the must choose a tier 1 deck upgrade.

    Re: Tiering up.

    What Zalarian/Varian said, pretty much. In general, tiering up early makes you more powerful, sooner (more feats) and tiering up later means the 'lifespan' of your character is as long as possible, since you are hard capped to the number of scenarios you can complete before you're forced to tier up.

    If you are not planning on playing any other season/scenarios with your character, then tiering up early is pretty much pure upside, because you won't get even close to outleveling any scenario you have to complete during the AP. However, there's a certain "Powergamey" aspect to intentionally leveling faster than the levels of the adventures you're going on, which some players choose not to do.

    For reference, there is one more scenario to go of Adventure 1. From Adventure 2 onwards; each CotCT Adventure has 4 scenarios in it, in case you're planning on playing through the entire AP.
    deck handler

    Got it. Then I won't tier up either and wait til the end of this Adventure.

    Deck Upgrade: He'll replace Judgement Light with Augury.
    Human Investigator Deck Handler Looking for: (Most level 6 upgrades, especially Items)

    If Varian isn't taking the Weapon 1, Quinn will replace his Blowgun with a Deathbane Light Crossbow.
    Aric's Deck // Searching For: Item 3 > Weapon 3 >> Ally 3 >>>>> Armor 3

    I won't be taking any deck upgrades.

    I'll spend my Hero Point on a Skill Feat:
    Aric: +1 WIS
    TRR: +1 DEX
    Deck Handler Desired upgrades meh

    Ukuja has 1 of each feat so keeps the second hero point. If the next scenario is tier 2 he'll tier up.

    Desired upgrades

    blessing 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 702
    ally 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 289

    Deck Upgrade Slots:

    Weapon 1

    Item 0
    Ally 000000011
    Blessing 0111
    Aric's Deck // Searching For: Item 3 > Weapon 3 >> Ally 3 >>>>> Armor 3

    Hero Point:I'll take an Ally card feat and fill it in with the Basic Lookout. Then I'll replace the Lookout with the Core version that actually gives me an explore

    Upgrade: N/A

    Adventure Reward: I'll spend my feat on Trinia Sabor. That one-use soothing word could come in handy
    Deck Handler Desired upgrades meh

    Note the Core version isn't all upside. Yes it lets you explore, But the core version recharges to add 1d4 to a local Perception check while the old version reveals to add 1d6 to any Perception check.

    Aric has Perception, TRR has Perception, Quinn has Perception, Varian has Perception, Ukuja usually has Perception.

    Admittedly I don't think any of us have specific uses for the skill but just pointing out there is a tradeoff between the versions.

    Sorry for the late reply. Busy packing up to relocate.

    I'll take Armor 0 to switch out Kikko Armor for Chain Mail for its core version.

    Keep Hero Point since can't spend it on anything.

    Tier up to tier 2.
    Human Investigator Deck Handler Looking for: (Most level 6 upgrades, especially Items)

    Quinn would be interested in the Item 0 (to upgrade Thieves' Tools to Masterwork Tools)
    Edit: Even better idea - he'll replace his Caltrops with the Masterwork Tools

    For his supporter feat he chooses Amin Jalento
    (Quinn is also tiering up)
    Deck Handler Desired upgrades meh

    So Ukuja gets his blessing 1. And I'll pick Vencarlo Orisini for my supporter feat. And Ukuja is tiering up.

    I understand deck upgrades/tiering/ supporter info to be the following:

    Ukuja - Blessing 1 / 2.0 / Vencarlo Orisin
    Varian - Ally 1 / 2.0 / Cressida Kroft
    Heggal - Armor 0 / 2.0 / ???
    Quinn - Item 0 / 2.0 / Amin Jalento
