Can everyone check in with the following information:

Player Name:

PFS#:
Level:
Faction:

Player Name: Scott Gustafson
Character Name: Parmawembë (Par for short)
PFS#: 126926-9
Level: 8

Speed: normal

Player Name: Aaron
Character Name: Jayori Bissumbhur
PFS#: 84637-15
Level: 9 (Bard 1 / Paladin 4 / Dragon Disciple 4)
Faction: Silver Crusade

So is this to be the core thread? I should register Silgil here?

I'm assuming it is the core thread based on the campaign title.

Player Name: miteke
Character Name: Silgil
PFS#: 141936-5
Level: 6
Faction: Grand Lodge
Day Job Roll: Craft Jewelry: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32

Player: Aldizog
Character Name: Kavor Doan
PFS#: 108731-6
Level: 7
Faction: The Exchange
Day Job: Profession (Merchant): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26 Always earn at least 50 gp due to faction card.

Need to decide if I should be in "fighter mode" or "wizard mode" for this adventure. Leaning towards "fighter mode"; even though Jayori will be a far more capable frontliner (higher level and better classes for the role), it does not hurt to have a second able to step in and help.

I had posted this character in error. Please remove when you have the time.

If you are in fighter mode, I have some nice bull strength or cat's grace spells for you. Most fighters at this level have a belt, but I didn't see one on your list.

Yeah, as a transmuter he has a floating +2 enhancement bonus to any physical stat. That makes a belt a less urgent purchase.
I normally do +2 Str when in fighter mode (since he does not yet have mithral armor, so is maxed out on Dex).
In "wizard mode" it is usually +2 Dex.

Note that Kavor Doan has some non-Core spells from chronicle sheets that he will be happy to share.

I noticed he has a lot of the same spells as Silgil. We should coordinate. You can take a look at my spell choices to help judge. He will start off combat with a haste spell, as long as they last, which will be two combats. If he can anticipate combat he will buff with bull's strength, or cat's grace if all the fighters have enhancement bonuses. So if you are taking the enhancement bonus to strength, Silgil will not be taking bull's strength.

I look forward to trading spells. If there are any you want him to use during the adventure, he can copy it over at the beginning if there is time.

Yes this is indeed the core thread!

@Silgil, these are the spells Kavor Doan normally prepares in "fighter mode" - all V-only (other than the cantrips).

Detect Magic, Read Magic, Mage Hand, Light
True Strike (x3), Feather Fall, Hold Portal
Still Shield, Blur, Still Burning Hands, Still Enlarge Person
Still See Invisibility, Still Alter Self, Still Resist Energy

He can also use his axe (bonded item) to cast any spell from his book, though I understand this is not like a spell storing item and does have ASF (35%) if it has somatic components.

I believe we are still waiting on another wizard and a shadowdancer. I might suggest that Silgil prep at least two Heroism spells since the shadowdancer would likely benefit - there aren't as many ways for rogues to boost their skills and saves in Core.

Does not seem like any overlap so that is good. I will take your advice and turn a spiked pit into heroism.

Dang. Been reading character sheets and Don't we have some interesting characters in this group! Particularly for core, but even if it weren't core you all have done some pretty cool stuff.

I am traveling at ReaperCon in Texas until Monday so bot if needed, but I will try to check the games I'm in at least once a day.

Thought I posted this earlier, but I don't see it, so here it is.

Player Name: PJP

480 gp: Dimension Door, Greater Invisibility, Summon Monster IV

I'd like it on the chronicle sheet when the time comes, particularly since some of these are not core. He has the money already.

forgot to include the 1st level spells.

I will be attending CppCon (C++ developers conference) and classes starting tomorrow and going for 9 days until Sept. 22. Please bot me if needed but I will try to check into the game at least once a day.

I think I got turned around on the threads... this is Core, right?

yessir.

Actually MAM ;-)

I'll be on vacation out of country and returning on the 21st. I will have internet access but don't expect a whole lot of posting while I'm away. Feel free to bot me as needed if I don't post fast enough.

Question: when you craft a bonded item, are you limited to the value by fame and is that limit based on the craft cost or the usual retail value?

As I will report the game tomorrow please roll for boons.
All that didnt do so I will roll.

Boon: 1d20 ⇒ 6

I've already posted the ones I copied from Varian.

I have several scrolls in my inventory if your able to use any of the spells and want to copy any of them.

scroll of command, scroll of comprehend languages, scroll of consecrate, scroll of endure elements, scroll of lesser restoration, scroll of magic weapon, scroll of obscuring mist, scroll of protection from energy, scroll of remove blindness/deafness, scroll of remove curse, scroll of remove disease, scroll of remove fear, scroll of remove paralysis, scroll of resist energy

Kavor Doan will copy the following, with permission:

Varian Jeggare: Alarm, Vanish, Detect Undead (scribing cost 10 each, for 30)
Bear's Endurance, Cat's Grace, Mirror Image, Scorching Ray (scribing cost 40 each, for 160)
Gaseous Form, Tongues (scribing cost 90 each, for 180)
Total cost is 370 gp.
He can make the Spellcraft checks for all of these by Taking 10. Highest DC is 18 and he has +10.

Permission to all my spells granted.

Varian, I am sorry the save was will. But as you have the same boni you still failed the roll.

Ah, but that *might* actually make a difference - I have a variety of boons that I can trigger Re: Will saves ;-)

Any descriptors on that saving throw that I should know about?

It is a curse!

Well then:

Immediate. Gremlin's Token: +2 save Vs. Curses for 1 hour
Use Reroll (5* GM)

Will: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 + 2 + 5 = 28.

Thanks for the game, Helikon! I know reporting is due by tomorrow, so even though you haven't asked yet, here is my Boon roll.

Boon: 1d20 ⇒ 15

Here's mine.

boon: 1d20 ⇒ 9

Thanks for running, Helikon.

boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 3 nope

Dayjob Profession (librarian): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20 20g

Thanks for running the game, that was fun. I'm actually glad that telling the truth didn't get us all killed in a war between the families.

@GM Helikon: When are chronicle sheets likely to go out?

Iwill finish them tomorrow morning.

Varian,
I still need the Curse reroll in the gameplay thread.
Apart from that, the Chronicles are in the link

I don't see the day job income on the sheet or you signature on the GP earned. Odd. The signature is on the day job line but there is nothing entered there.

You did spell Jayori wrong... but I suppose I can live with it.

But the document quality is pretty poor, the text on the boons and items is almost unreadable.

Anyone know how I can just download a single sheet, instead of everyones?

I found it very hard to read too. Even when you zoom in it is all blurry.

Don't zoom - I printed it at 'half page' size, and by squinting, was able to read it okay...?
