GM ZD's The Sandstone Secret (Inactive)

Game Master Z...D...

Fresh off the press Dwarven tanky fighter. Really looking forward to messing with item crafting in 2.0 and this is the guy that's going to get it done for me.

Reading through the rules it certainly isn't any better than earning gold on a straight up Lore check, especially since you gotta buy/learn schematics.

Thoughts?

My fighter took crafting as well. Mainly to make repairing his shield a bit easier. He probably will not invest anymore in crafting than that.

Now if you are an alchemist or a rogue who specializes in poisons and you invest heavily in crafting. I can see it being beneficial.

Ya, maybe a ranger with snare crafting. I do need to hunt for some explanations for setting snares in combat. If you set a snare, in combat do they still need to make the check to spot it? I mean, later on you can set one in 3 actions so they could be very close by watching you... If you can't put them out in combat then they lose lots of their effectiveness.

Ya I hear ya on account of the shield repairs. The shield changes are too tempting to not try out thoroughly to see.

That is why I went sword and board with Sverd.

In reference to your snare question, it is then treated as a hazard. So you would use your crafting DC as the hazards stealth DC. If you are expert in crafting, they would need to be trained in perception to spot them. If you are a master in crafting, then they would need to be expert and so on.

Also, if you are expert in crafting or better, they have to be actively searching. Either by using the search activity an exploration mode, or seek action in an encounter mode..

Ok ya, that last bit is the only hope. It doesn't make a ton of sense if they watch you set it but game rules are game rules.

I think you set it as part of you craft check to make, which is a minute. So I think it would be hard to do in combat.

More like something you would prep when setting up camp.

Ok ya, that last bit is the only hope. It doesn't make a ton of sense if they watch you set it but game rules are game rules.

I guess you could say one of those three actions is making a dsitraction for you to set the snare unobserved, but yeah that makes little sense. I guess another way of looking at it, considering the only feats I have found so far that allow faster creation of snares have an expert+ profciency requirement, you could just be that good at setting them?

Anyways, Zherayiss here is a new sorcerer where I was thinking about messing with spellcasting, proficiencies, and multiclassing. She can get two, maybe three, different dedication feats without hurting her basic sorcerer abilities easily (thanks to a 9th level human feat).

In other news, she has her starting gear all picked out. Assuming she does get an extra 2 GP to start with via the Bargin Hunter background, she spent all 17 GP, if she didn't then she won't be taking that shiny scroll of floating disc. As for boons and free gear for the adventure from the pathfinder training, she will be sloting the Grand Archive Champion boon, and picking up a scroll of Magic Weapon and a scroll of Mage Armor (3 points in one area allows for a second item choice at 1/2 level [minimum level 1] meaning she should be able to get a second item or scroll, right?)

Kernal, where dis you find such good profile model?

This is my fourth Time wth this quest.

Yunko is mostly ready. He will take a couple of free scolls of heal for his pathfinder training bonus.

Its mine I've been tweaking is all based on my 1.0 set up. Feel free to steal it.

My tag lines were stolen from Blake.

Klank went with Field Commission so extra 50% downtime for his crafting but no consumables until level 2?

As far as boons the only one I guess would be the free faction you can get which will be envoy.

Sorry, i Will twomorrow morning.

Ready!

p.544 of the book

I do not have access to my book at the moment, but we will roll with it.

Sorry, I was sure the adventure was finish.

Technically it is, since you already did the only enocounter and you successfully completed you mission.

I will go ahead and call it. I will work on chronicles tonight.

If you want to go ahead and roll your downtime, I will be sure to track it on your chronicles.

Craft Blacksmithing, Specialty Crafting: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 1 = 20

Kernal... How Do you have spéciality.... Oh... Yes.

cooking: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Kernal and Inono Your chronicle sheets are ready.

Yunko sings for his supper, he sings a heroic tale of daring do in the deserts of Osirion and about the nutritional value of cooked and uncooked bugs.

Performance: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

A field-commissioned Pathfinder, Ott keeps his activities on the down-low finding enough "jobs" in back alleys and at the docks to keep him in coin.

Underworld Lore: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Zhera spends some time back in Osirion hunting for supplies that are cheaper priced than in Absalom to ship home, which should also be cheaper.

Downtime Diplomacy (Bargain Hunter): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Kernal and Inono Your chronicle sheets are ready.

Thanks.

Does this have the field commissioned downtime included? 15 copper for a 20 roll, yikes.

Sorry I forgot that you were field commissioned. I will fix it.

If anyone else is field commissioned let me know.

Yes, quest only grant 3 days of downtime, 4 for field commissioned. (50% additional daytime).

A 25 would have been a critical success. Which would have you gotten you more.

Chronicles

Everybody's is ready minus Mindartis. Still need your downtime check.

Lore (Scouting): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

Earn income task levels have been set at a value of lvl-2 by campaign management, so for the first two levels you're rolling on the 0 level row of the earn income table (i.e. 1 CP a day kn a failure and 5 CP a day on a success.)

Okay, Mindartis, yours is up now.

Would any of you guys be interested in The Absalom Initiation. I have not ran that one and willing to run it for you all. That one is repeatable has well.

I would be intereted although I am due to run it 3 times this week!

I'd be interested. Was actually not sure what to fill the slot this game was taking with!

Chronicle looks good. Thanks for running GM ZD!

I am up for Absalom Initiation, though likely not with this PC.

I should note that I am currently playing AI via PbP for game day and scheduled to play it at a con (with Ott) on Friday.

I will answer after a few day... I am interested.

Afraid I'll need to decline. I'm too swamped with things right now and could use less games on my plate vs more.

Thanks though.

I'm playing it now as part of Gameday. Can I play it simultaneously using another character?

If it's repeatable I do believe so!

Yes, it is replayable, but credit must be assigned to another character that is not currently being played in another scenario at the same time your start playing it.

Okay we can start the next one in a few days, to get things settled. Just post below you character choice, as you did at the beginning of this scenario.

Thanks everyone, enjoy the next game!

Klank out.

Alrighty. Let's give this elf one more adventure.

Player Name Marjim Marc Arafiles
Character Name: Mindartis Nightbreeze
PFS ID and Character Number: 259680-2002
Faction: Horizon Hunters

I will stick with Yunko.

I don't have any other characters fleshed out yet. So Zherayiss it is!

I think changing.

If we are starting within less than a week, then I will likely play a pregen.

Does anyone mind if we hold off for a week? I do not.

Quite alright with me.

I'm good with that as well!

That is fine, I have lots on.
