[PFS2_Luke_Parry] 2-06: The Crashing Wave (Inactive)

Game Master Luke_Parry

Maybe we can ask on Paizo if it can be replayed. Otherwise I can let my place for my son for this special one. But the Chronicles should not be applied before lvl 5 or with a reduced amount of money.

Otherwise we can replay the repeatable ones with others characters. I would love that.

I am currently playing that scenario and it appears to not be replayable.

Next up is still planned to be the Quest :-D

I'm putting the finishing touches on a 1st level Monk for just this occasion ^_^

...anyone else have a Combat Mentor Boon >.>

Only PF2 scenarios I've played have been with this group, so nope. Haven't played it.

Unfortunately I'm not eligible for Combat Mentor. On the bright side, I'll be leveling so I can grab Assurance for Medicine. I'll never fail a heal check again!

If no one else has it then Bair can grab it, assuming you would actually get a level bump.

I don't know how to calculate the Challenge Points math, but she's 1st-level, so she counts as the "lowest possible level".

Yeah, I looked at that section and my brain hurt pretty quick. I'll be waiting until I actually start GM'ing v2 before trying to figure it all out.

*nods*

Even without Thorax, you still have enough challenge points in this group to count as high tier.

Does Mara need to do anything about that failed Fort save, or is it simply assumed she's successfully treated during the downtime?

If no one else has it then Bair can grab it, assuming you would actually get a level bump.

Sweet. That would definitely help her ability to contribute ^_^

Worldly Mentor would only give you +2 in perception.

In combat I want to try:

Stride => Flurry at Reach w/ Bo Staff => Stride

And see how that works as a tactic.

In PFS1 I had 38 characters and yet never made a Monk.

Alright, so, Dran'Thor, Bair, and Thorax have all played Origin of the Open Road, and Adalan and Mara have not.

I'll look into putting in a shout-out to the Recruitment thread for additional players.

@Mara: It can just be cleared.

My son would like to play Origin of the open road

Interpreting how Battle Medicine works has been a headache for anyone who reads the Rules Forum, but on this podcast the speaker relays from Mark Seifter that you do need Healer's Tools, but only one hand to use them.

I had generally been of the mindset that it requires two hands, because using Healer's Tools requires two hands, but in the podcast he explains as long as you have a Bandolier you just need the one hand to use the feat.

This has been a PSA from your friendly Goblin healer. Enjoy the frozen north!

I have not done the origin of the open road either.

Alright, chronicles for the last one have now been sent out. As always, please download/transfer them, as they won't be there, forever.

Also, please re-post reporting details for the current quest.

Since we seem to have four players who haven't played Origin, I will happily run for that group as an 'additional' game, but I will see if we can get a couple of extra people.

That is, unfortunately, a rather nasty opening move, but luckily, they won't do it again...

We've lost Hannah! She is missing on the boat.

Haha, I'm just really good at Stealthing!

Technically, these things can keep using their psychotropic algae water spout attack ad nauseum, but I feel that that would not be a fun thing for me to do :-/

Please start using rerolls, especially on those fort saves.

How can you reroll a save?

GM, I just realized something. I technically would have taken damage from my 3 action harm spell in 2e as you don't get to automatically exclude yourself the way you did in 1e.

So wouldn't I just need a DC 11 Flat check to break the confusion since I took damage? And a will save to half the damage?

If it was errata'd and I missed it or I'm misreading something, no worries. I am not asking for a retcon.

Hero Points allow re-rolls.

How can you reroll a save?

Hero Points let you reroll a check. In 2e we're given one at the start of each adventure, so everyone except Bair and Mara should currently have one. I don't see anything in the rules that would indicate they can't be used on saves.

Edit: Ninjaed!

Huh. It was explained to me a while back that Hero Points only worked on checks, like skill checks and ability checks, but sure enough I just found this on page 443:

"Pathfinder has many types of checks, from skill checks to attack rolls to saving throws"

So I guess I'll go back to hoarding them for saving throws ^_^

@Deshacerla: Technically true, but the Confusion effect is *also* from an ongoing poison effect, that you continue to have to save against... so taking damage from your own action would knock you out of the Confusion until the start of your turn, at which point, you have to save against the poison again...

Yikes!

Oh, fun!

Thanks for the clarity. :-)

Fortunately, the poison only has a maximum duration of 3 rounds, which is now over ;-)

We won't miss it!

Just goes to show that the most dangerous monster in the GM's arsenal, is the other PCs ;-)

I was excited about Dran'Thor's almost max rolled 2d12 spell that first round, until it turned on us! :D

Alright, I need to head off to bed now, but since the new scenarios are supposed to drop in the next few hours, I will be happy to start with them tomorrow (my time) :-)

I figure we will do the 1-4, the quest, and then the 3-6 (since everyone should be level 3 by that point), so that Thorax can rejoin us.

Great ! Thank you for GMing.

Sorry - appears I never reposted this for the quest we just ran.

All sounds great!

Sounds good to me.

Annoyingly, the new scenarios still haven't dropped into my account yet, but as soon as they do, I will get started :-)

Excuse, but when do we get the chronicle to write down changes?

When I get a chance to go and buy more paper, so that I can print them (so later today); I have been working late the last few days, and haven't had a chance to visit an office supply store.

No problem. :)

Alright, chronicles for the Quest have been sent out.
