This is a CORE game. Please make sure you understand the restrictions of CORE before signing up. If you use options outside the CORE rulebook you are almost certainly not a CORE character.
If you are currently in a game or expect to apply a GM chronicle before play, hold off putting in the information.
To make my life easier when it comes to filling in chronicles, if you could each put in a single post with:
Chronicle: What chronicle number this is for the character
History: What scenarios has the character completed? (or been credited with); any other chronicles (special boons etc)
Name:(the player) real name (as you have it appear on your chronicle sheets)
AKA: Character name
Faction: Your faction
PFS: # for the character
XP: starting XP, Note if Slow track!
Prestige: Starting prestige
Fame: Starting Fame
Gold: Starting wealth you bring into the adventure. This should be the total on your previous chronicle. If you want to buy any new stuff... see further on.
Day job: include the roll or that you don't have one. If you want to use a reroll at the end just note here you may want to use a reroll. If you don't include a roll I'll be assuming you take ten. Add the actual gold amount if you want to save me looking it up...
Spend: If you want to buy anything before the scenario starts (apart from your initial 150gp if you are a new character) include it here. This will appear in the "items bought" and/or "items sold" part of the chronicle.
Try to hold off actual discussion here until we have one post per character with those details (makes life easy for me to make the chronicles for you all at the end).
Please add an Icon for your character to the map. If you don't know how, let me know and I'll help. Also dot into the gameplay thread, or just hang around and RP there if you like.

I need to update Farlen for his last chronicle. I should have that done at the latest tomorrow.

Is there any chance you'd be willing to hold a slot open for Parts II and III for me? Way back when I first created this character I did part I in CORE mode in person, but after I did part I, I realized that I couldn't make it to parts II and III.
Farlen Mizzul |
Farlen Mizzul will purchase 2 spells on scrolls and 3 from NPC caster:
Alarm [5g from NPC caster]
Protection from Evil [25g]
Enlarge Person [25g]
Resist Energy [20g from NPC caster]
Mirror Images [20g from NPC caster]
Mithral Dagger [500g]
He will immediately try to study and understand Resist Energy
spellcraft vs dc 17 to understand: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22
and mirror images
spellcrft vs dc17: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29
and finally alarm
spellcft vs dc16: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30
he will then copy them into his spellbook:
2 x2nd level=80g
1 x1st level=10g
total spent= 685g
GM Aerondor |
Rigth, time to kick off. Looks like it might just be three, so who would you like as your pregen?
zer0darkfire |
I'll join in as well. First time CORE, but I'll dot in with a character and the signup information when I get home to my computer instead of my phone.
*side note, I have GMed the whole series, but other than the general concept I've already forgotten most of the exact details.

You're just paying the +50% scribe cost to scribe from the pathfinder society library right? A lot of players arent aware of that and it can save a lot of money instead of buying scrolls etc.
Farlen Mizzul |
Well that makes since too. I read in the FAQ that spells are always considered available from other area casters for 1/2 the scribe fees listed in the CRB. Never realized that the PFS library would be why the spells were always considered available. I wanted two spells on scrolls to have if needed.
Kaya Leafwing |
So, I have a lvl 3 Core Rogue who just now tasted freedom from a really really really long lasting outpost II game. If we are going low-tier then I'd happily bring him. That would give us 2 lvl 3's who could supplement with 2 lvl 1 pregens or 1 pregen and a new PC from Zero.
If we stay high tier I'd just stick with Kaya to give us a lvl 3 & 4 wizard plus what I would assume to be 2 lvl 4 pregens.
Thoughts?

Kaya Leafwing |
If acceptable by the GM, I will switch from Kaya to my Core rogue, Khargrom. I’ll wait for confirmation before submitting his info.
GM Aerondor |
Sure, swap away.
Farlan - wiz/3
Khargrom rogue/?
Stracast dru/1
Luke - TBD - probably a front liner. I'm guessing we are low tier, although Khargrom's level will determine that.
Khargrom Shadowband |
Sub for Kaya, Amiri sounds like a good fit.
Chronicle: 7

Name: Pete H.
AKA: Khargrom Shadowband
Faction: The Concordance
PFS: 123584-8
XP: 6 XP, Standard Track
Prestige: 10
Fame: 12
Gold: He had 12g 7s 7c + 520g from last chronicle - 450g 5s spent = 82g 2s 7c at the start of this scenario.
Day job: If you wish him to use Kaya's roll, the result is 19. If you wish him to roll for it himself, see the spoiler.
Spend: Purchasing a MW Sap (301g), 1 antitoxin (50g), 1 universal solvent (50g), 2 holy waters (50g) & Sell Regular Sap (5s). Net appears to be 450g 5s spent.

I can use the wand for you, but I can't afford one yet since this is both my first CORE game and my first CORE character. I'd also love to activate some endure element wands for all of us, but again, I can't possibly purchase it.
GM Aerondor |
Endure lasts for a full 24 hours. You are likely to be gone for several days if the map is accurate..
Farlen Mizzul |
This is fast becoming a very expensive endeavor. Farlen will purchase another 5 spell scroll of endure elements. He will ask the druid to take the spell and he will drop color spray to take endure elements as well. We should have 5 days minimum and more coverage if we double spell slots with endure elements.
125g for scroll.
Grand total of 810g and 2pp spent.
Khargrom Shadowband |
Hold on Farlen, Khargrom will be purchasing a wand of endure elements with his one 2 prestige point purchase of the scenario. He also already has cold weather gear and a wand of CLW he will hand off to the Druid at the start.
We hopefully may not need the spells though, a lot depends on the briefing and first day to see if we can rough it.
Farlen Mizzul |
Farlen will then forgo the 5 spell scroll.
Gold spent back to 685g
2PP spent as well.
Thanks Khargrum. Don't sweat it Stratacast. Everyone has to start out sometime.
GM Aerondor |
There is no breifing as such for this one, you are cast into the action straight away, but you do know you will be facing cold. In the interests of getting underway before the weekend (when I am off camping with cubs) we'll get started, if you have reasonable extra pre-purchases we can retcon them.
GM Aerondor |
I'm out for the weekend. Be nice if there were some more gameplay posts when I get back...
GM Aerondor |
Right, three level three, one level 1. That is squarely between sub-tiers. For season 2, that means playing low tier. And honestly, given none of you are in level for high tier, that is probably a good way to run it.
You might find it a tad easy, but you are core, so it is nice to get breaks sometimes.
Khargrom Shadowband |
Constrictor snake name option: Rocky Balboa
GM Aerondor |
Strat: Where does Life of Toil come from as a trait. Unless it is from the guide somewhere, it is unlikely to be CORE legal.
It looks the same as Resilient (+1 to fort) so you may want to swap for that.
I see you have UAS, it is handy to call that out in your attack, as I almost rolled an AOO against you.
Stratacast Latharian |
I swear I saw it in the core legal traits web enhancement list thing, but I can't seem to find exactly where I saw it from. I know I wasn't looking at a normal list of traits though, so I'm not sure how I came across it because I've never taken it before on any character.
I figured it would be easier to state if I didn't have IUS rather than saying I did since if a character is going to punch something, they probably have it, but either way, you are aware of it now.
GM Aerondor |
The web enhancement traits are the basis of the traits in Ultimate Campaign - which is where Life of Toil comes from.
Only real difference is resilient is a combat trait and life of toil a social one. Unfortunately dirty fighter is also a combat trait.
Stratacast Latharian |
I guess the dice roller doesn't like me playing core based on these rolls. I'll switch Life of Toil to something else, sorry.
Going with Ease of Faith instead.
Ease of Faith: Your mentor, the person who invested
your faith in you from an early age, took steps to ensure
that you understood that what powers your divine magic
is no different than that which powers the magic of other
religions. This philosophy makes it easier for you to
interact with others who may not share your views. You
gain a +1 bonus on Diplomacy checks, and Diplomacy is
always a class skill for you.
Khargrom Shadowband |
I'll be pretty busy this coming weekend. Probably won't post on Saturday or Sunday.
GM Aerondor |
No worries. I can post on weekends, but don't expect players to. I might advance things if we are mid combat, so please make sure there is a bot-me section.
Stratacast Latharian |
Playing only using core options is hard, as I've quickly discovered. Druids don't have many core spells and I realized my armor was from ultimate equipment, so I had to downgrade to studded leather. Also realized my plan to by a dragonhide medium armor is flawed because I can't get dragonhide lol.
Khargrom Shadowband |
I’d probably just prefer taking three shots at getting one good roll. If so, Khargrom should sit out since he is negative charisma and I’d still get to rp Amiri’s attempt.
Farlen Mizzul |
I have just a flat roll without a bonus. I don't think we have anyone with a bonus. Are the odds higher for a good roll that way? Probably.
I don't think you can aid as it is spelled out in the GM's post. Amiri, Stratacast and Farlen will give it a shot.
GM Aerondor |
And Chronicles are now available.
Please double check them. Thanks once again for playing.
Stratacast Latharian |
Thanks for my first core game! I don't know if I'll stick around in core with how limited the options are, but I'll definitely consider it
Khargrom Shadowband |
You rock! Thanks for the great game. Chronicle is good, subtotal is wrong but if you don’t mind I’ll just cross it out and correct it (though 8k gold would be nice).
I like Core, it is refreshingly simple which makes it easy and hard at the same time. Plus, some of those “bad” feats, traits, racials and class abilities get used.
GM Aerondor |
No worries. Chronicles stay up pretty much forever. I guess at some stage google will complain about me having too much stuff there, but they haven't so far.
One of the reasons I like Core is that it is nice and simple and you can have a bit more fun with the RP and less worry about making your character mechanically masterful.
