GM Crunch's Origin of the Open Road (Inactive)

Game Master Saving Cap'n Crunch

Glad to see interest! I already have most of your information. If you could put down the name of whoever you'd like credit applied to, that will help. Once you solidify your pregen picks, you can roll Downtime. They all should have at least a Lore skill with which to do so.

Thanks for the game, I'm looking forward to this one.

New Level 1 PC, Farryn Sarjyre, 123584-2003.

I'd prefer not playing Amiri. I already have a barbarian I've played in V2 and I played Amiri in the playtest so it would be ideal to get a bit of variance. Does anyone else have any 'don't want to play' or 'really want to play' pregens?

Apply credit to Kimmo, 67750-2001. I put Kyra as a preference, but can deal with anything else besides Amiri (like Pete, I already have a barbarian) or the alchemist.

Please apply credit to my main PFS2e character - 11954-2001. I signed up as Cary U. :D

I play a Druid (2nd level). I also have a 1st level Ranger.

I have no preference but am leaning towards either the Wizard or the Rogue. Again, I will play whatever role is needed.

Does it matter if the PC credit is applied to is engaged in another game whenever we finish up?

As for character choice, I’m pretty flexible. Ultimately I’ll take any but my preference would be to try Wizard, Alchemist or Fighter.

Hi there! Evie here.

I’m applying this to 99807-2002, aka Shwurk the Greebler

I would like the bard, as the character that I’m applying this to is a bard, and I want to get a feel for it.

I assume we are using the Iconic Pre-gens, right?

There are some classes that only have Level 1 (no Level 5) yet, correct? Unless I missed an update...

That is almost all of us checked in. So far it appears we have a lock on the Bard and between two players showing interest in the Wizard that is probably locked too. I'm starting to think I might like to try the Alchemist too.

Is there BB code for any of these completed or do we just need to figure that part out? I know they had BB code for the playtest versions.

It does appear that some of the Iconics do not have a lvl 5 version!!! I just downloaded the latest version today.

Yes I think there’s just Barbarian, Wizard, Alchemist, Cleric, Rogue, and Fighter that have level 5.

Oh damn. Didnt realize they didn’t have all the pregens at level 5 yet.

I suppose i’ll take a rogue then

Just in case anyone doesn't have them, pregens. I think I have the updated ones. I haven't seen any BB code yet. If people could put the usual important stats (HP, AC, Saves, Perception, Spells per day) in their header, that'd be great. You can transfer any other statistics into your profile if you'd like, maybe a link to the pregen sheet.

In case this question was missed.

If it helps, I think this is what people expressed interest in.
Pete H. - Alchemist
JW- Cleric
Kalderaan- Wizard or Rogue
Hrothdane- Rogue
Steinkrug - Wizard, Alchemist or Fighter

And one more player.
FWIW, I'm fine with going Fighter as that doesn't have anyone else interested yet.

The sixth player, if I got the name right, expressed a preference for Valeros.

Ah, okay. Well, if it comes down to no one wanting the barbarian, I don't mind playing her.

I am the sixth player. I will play the barbarian. I already have a fighter, so it will do me some good to branch out, a bit.

Will work on a stat block tonight.

Character blob to be attached to
133462-2002

tanning lore: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 Wow

Promise, I will pull a trigger on what I want the blob to be.

Ok, I’ll take Valeros then.

And as long as it doesn’t matter if I end up having him in a game, credit can go to Guntram Falk 2377166-2006

Here's the tentative lineup. Feel free to hash it out further if need be, and chat among yourselves in character pre-muster. I'm about ready to start whenever, but I won't for another day or so.

Pete H. - Fumbus
J.W.- Kyra
Kalderaan- Ezren
Hrothdane- Merisiel
Steinkrug - Valeros
Z.D. - Amiri

Innocuous d6: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Reviewing Kyra's character sheet, I don't see where she has armor training. AFAICT from the rules, as a cloistered cleric she has no proficiency in armor. What have I missed?

Huh. She is stated to be a cloistered cleric, but is proficient with light and medium armor. She doesn't have other general feats, but would only get the second one (medium armor) at 7th level. So I think that's an error. I guess I'll think about whether we should handwave that or downgrade to light armor.

Wait, never mind. She has the versatile human heritage, giving her another general feat. So she has proficiency in both. All is well for now.

Sounds good to me! I'll add Valeros's stats soon.

Excellent, thanks for running that down.

Unless it changed from v1 to v2, you won't be able to do that. The whole 'only one player in one game at a time' would still apply.

I'm not 100% sure though.

I'll work on getting Fumbus ready to go.

Test post for Ezren

The handout came out a little blurry, at least on my machine. What is the archaic title that Shaine thought we should use?

That'd be 'Vash-Vatom.'

Thanks!

Crafting Earn Income task lvl 3 with DC 18?: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16

Which would be a failure, but I'm not sure if we should be rolling our lvl 5 character skills for a lvl 3 task (DC 18) or if it should be a lvl 0 task (DC 14) which would be the task my lvl 1 character blob who will be getting this sheet would be doing.

Any thoughts or rulings on that? I would actually make more money failing the level 3 task then completing the level 0 task, which is funny-ish.

Question about the tasks and phases... how many phases/ hours do we get total?

I'm not certain about the Downtime ruling here. I'm sure if you waited to apply the sheet until 5, you'd get the level 5 Downtime gold. But if you were any other level...allowing you to use a skill at the blob's assumed ability/proficiency by level would be complicated, and I think beyond the scope of the rules.

As for how long you have: unknown! You aren't on a short clock, mission-wise. Quick would be nice, though not enough to get in the way of being thorough. But there may be a finite amount of information to gather.

I have a bunch of people coming over tomorrow, and will be slow (at best) to post. Feel free to bot me; I haven't been able to get the character profile updated, but you all have access to her character sheet.

Not to worry! I might as well mention I'm also slower on Saturdays, as I go out for PFS. But I can still get a post in.

I mistakenly thought Valeros got hit when I wrote my post, heh. I suppose it glanced off his armor. :)

I believe that is two crits in a row. Amiri is off to a nice start. Hopefully it stays this way.

Awesome to witness!

I crit the bookshelves! :)

I’m gonna see if Valeros and Ezren finish off this statue before I take my turn

Valeros has both a regular shield boss and a +1 striking shield boss listed under his strikes, but only a the regular one listed on his equipment, so I went with the regular one.

Just to prevent myself from metagaming, Fumbus will use his Bracers of Missile Deflection on the first ranged attack each day that hits but doesn't crit.

Activate [reaction] (Interact) Frequency 1/day; Trigger A ranged weapon attack hits you but doesn’t critically hit you; Effect You gain a +2 circumstance bonus to AC against the attack. If this would cause the attack to be a failure, the attack misses.

Sorry! My bad about missing that the rolls are secret. I’ve been knocked on my ass sick the past few days and my head’s all foggy.

Just a heads up. I will be at a conference/training in Baltimore Wednesday through Friday. I doubt I will get any time to post. It should be back to normal on Saturday night.

Well, that could've gone poorly. When I did your rolls, none of you spotted the trap and it was set off. Six attacks directed randomly because the hazard won initiative, 3 hit Merisiel (2 crits), one crit Ezren and one hit Valeros. So your trapper went down before she even got a turn.

Then I realized I forgot to roll Perception for Valeros and he succeeded. Direct your accolades his way!

Valeros bows.

Henceforth, Ezren shall address you as Valeros the Vigilant! :D

Good gravy. Assurance in 2e is downright terrible.

I realize I had/have a 75% chance with a die roll to beat the Assurance set value.

Can I/Should I roll on the ring or let it go?

I'm pretty sure Assurance isn't meant to replace rolling at all. It is only there to guarantee certain results like with battle medicine and treat wounds out of combat. Or at least, that's the only time I've seen it used well.

Yeah, Fumbus hit the nail on the head as far as I've seen. It's there if you really don't feel like rolling simple things or lower-level tasks, but doesn't let you crit. I feel like it could be replaced with a class feature everyone gets that applies to different skills.

Feel free to roll Arcana if you'd like.

Happy Turkey Day fellow Pathfinders! :D

Here's hoping everyone who partook had a good Thanksgiving! Still no hurry to post, but I'll move us ahead to the next scene.

I'll be delayed posting, as Acrobat has crashed on my work computer and I'm unable to read my character sheet.

Just a reminder in case the enemies hit Fumbus with a ranged attack. He has the following magic item and always uses it the first time anyone hits him with a ranged attack, regardless of whether it helps or not.

☐ Bracers of Missile Deflection: Activate [reaction] (Interact) Frequency 1/day; Trigger A ranged weapon attack hits you but doesn’t critically hit you; Effect You gain a +2 circumstance bonus to AC against the attack. If this would cause the attack to be a failure, the attack misses.
