Hello everyone, and thanks for your interest! Please let me know your school items and how you're spending Downtime (with accompanying rolls).


Male Kobold GM 5

Hello.

I'm taking a Minor Healing Potion and spending my downtime scouting better routes.

Scouting Lore: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

Hello! I'm going to take 2 minor healing potions and also spend my downtime on making some money.

Oops, sorry. Forgot to switch to my character alias.

Okay I am pretty sure since Riff is a new character he has no down time right? Its been a while since I have played Organized and first time with 2E...

But, for my items: I want a healing potion, but since I am Spells 1 and Scrolls 2, does that mean I get 2 items? Sorry, the entry in the field guide doesn't seem to cover it.

Everyone has Downtime. You get a specific amount of days based on what sort of adventure you're in (for a scenario like this, 8). Most people use it to Earn Income, because anyone with a Lore skill can (so, everyone).

In terms of items, you only get 2 if you put all of your points in one school. You can pick from the All-Schools, Scrolls, and Spells lists.

Thanks so much! Sorry, still trying to learn all this.

So, will definitely take the minor healing potion, and then I will get some income since I am a poor level 1.

Yarr.

SFBB is a field commissioned agent and will be earning income for all 12 days.

perform sing first 8 days DC 14: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22 0.4gp
perform sing, second 4 days DC 14: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13 0.04gp

8 days of success + 4 days of fail = 0.44gp

I don't think it makes a huge difference since I already rolled a nat 20 on my earned income check, but I accidentally forgot to account for my increased level. My Lore proficiency bonus is +4 instead of +3 so the final result is 24 instead. Alias is all updated now.

Are we waiting for other players?

I think there's one person missing.

Sovereign Court

Bandits of Immenwood | Before the Dawn

Sorry, I was just prepping things a bit. We are missing one, though. It was someone I entered in myself because they wanted a game, so they might not know yet or just be out.

I'll PM them and the waitlisted player and see what comes of it. Will also set the scene a little shortly.

Sovereign Court

Bandits of Immenwood | Before the Dawn

No response (yet) from the player who hasn't checked in, and the one on the waitlist is out. Are we okay with 5 players or should I find another one?

It is my first game here, so I can use some help.

Sovereign Court

Bandits of Immenwood | Before the Dawn

Not to worry, feel free to ask us whenever you need. Anything in particular to get you started?

Horizon Hunters

Male Goblin | HP 26 | AC 18 | F:+8 | R:+8 | W: +3 Alchemist 2 |speed 25 feet | Fire Resistance 1

I don't really understand the system with the schools and the downtime.It is the first time I have downtime.

Sovereign Court

Bandits of Immenwood | Before the Dawn

With Downtime, you get 8 in-game days (at least, for scenarios like this) to make some money doing a day job or the like. As an alchemist, you might craft items later on. But for now, you just Earn Income using certain skills (for you, Crafting or a Lore). Just roll one of those and I'll calculate how much you make after the adventure.

For Schools, you can opt out and be a field-commissioned agent. That just gives you more Downtime days and weaker free items than others get. Choosing schools gives you 3 points to spread however you wish among Scrolls, Spells, and Swords. I can break down the tiers of rewards there for you, but it'd mostly be copy-paste and paraphrasing.

Also, if you could put your character sheet information into your profile, that'd be helpful. I'm not so sure about your stats - odd numbers aren't possible at this level, as far as I know.

Horizon Hunters

Male Goblin | HP 26 | AC 18 | F:+8 | R:+8 | W: +3 Alchemist 2 |speed 25 feet | Fire Resistance 1

I've seen what I have done wrong. I'll correct it after work and make the changes.

Horizon Hunters

Male Goblin | HP 26 | AC 18 | F:+8 | R:+8 | W: +3 Alchemist 2 |speed 25 feet | Fire Resistance 1

So when I invest 2 points in the scrolls school, so when I ever achieve 5 lvl I can invest in an extra feat. Right?

As an item I take a Sunrod.

As downtime activity I choose Earn Income

How do I do the roll?

I'm imagining you mean how to know your modifier. If you mean how to format it here for PbP, you make the roll by using the [dice] tags. If you look at the bottom of this page of the box where you fill your text, you'll see a section that says "How to format your text". I recommend you test it here so you can see how it works.

If you're referring to how to know your modifier, if you're Earning Income with lore, it's a 1d20 + your Int mod + your level + your proficiency modifier.

For example, Vilkik has a +1 Int mod and is Trained in Scouting Lore. That means that her modifier is:

+1 Int + 1 level + 2 from Trained = +4

That would be a total modifier of +4, so I'd roll a 1d20 +4.

In your case, Grumzuk is level 1 + Int mod +4 + Trained +2 = +7

Riff, I was peeking at your sheet before I inspired an you may want to take a look at your feat/muse selection. Your sheet says Maestro, but versatile performance requires Polymath.

So I'm curious. Do we all post our actions or post one by one in order for combat?

Horizon Hunters

Male Goblin | HP 26 | AC 18 | F:+8 | R:+8 | W: +3 Alchemist 2 |speed 25 feet | Fire Resistance 1

I have the same question?

Sovereign Court

Bandits of Immenwood | Before the Dawn

I'm not too big on forcing everyone to go in exact order, nor are most other GMs. It would slow things down too much for barely any gain. I just let the bolded people post and usually resolve their actions in the initiative order, unless there's something particularly cinematic otherwise.

So Sun Fire Boom Boom has acted, once Riff posts I will make another showing their results and what the Purple fey do. Then Vilkik, Magnus, and Grumzuk can post, and so on.

Horizon Hunters

M Bard 8 | HP (80/106) | AC 26 | F +13 R +16 W +12 | Perception +12 (Darkvision) | <+2 Init> Spells: F (1/2) 1: (3/3) 2: (2/3) 3:(1/3) 4:(0/3) | Fae 1/2/3 | GS(0/1) | hp (3/3)

When you've got groups of PCs in initiative they could largely delay to rearrange themselves as desired. There's occasional weirdness with short term buffs but is generally resolvable in a sensible way.

The one bit where it's particularly problematic in 2e is reactions, since you can't take them while delaying. Most of them react to enemies so it's fine but things like Goblin Scuttle that react to an ally's movement can cause issues.

So we wait on Ruff?

Sovereign Court

Bandits of Immenwood | Before the Dawn

Typically, yes. If one doesn't post after prompting (in my book about 2 days, less for many others), I won't have much recourse but to bot their action myself. I really don't like doing that, but I should get more comfortable with it. Some of my games have run on in unenjoyable ways because of it.

So within a few hours I will bot Riff's action so others can act while I'm at work. It'll likely be Telekinetic Projectile and Goblin Song, as we already have Inspire Courage.

Crunch, what is the -10 next to my name in the initiative order? Is that the HP I have left?

Sovereign Court

Bandits of Immenwood | Before the Dawn

That's how much HP you have lost. Now that you healed 6, it will be -4 in my next post. The fey will choose not to damage Sun Fire, so I'll change that too.

Also, I forgot there would be reactions involved. Is it safe to assume you'll be using Glimpse of Redemption at the first possible opportunity each round? If so, that'll save some time and keep retcons from needing to happen.

Yes, especially if the damage will be significant.

Good catch! I will have to change that.

GM, thanks for AI-ing me. Honestly no excuse for not posting the weekend, just slipped my mind. Won't happen again.

As a heads up I'll be away at a convention this weekend.

I should still be able to post 1/day but don't expect to be able to post any more.

Chronicles are here, pending your approval. I didn't fill in everything, like some people's starting gold or Chronicle number, but I did where I could find those things. If there are any problems, please let me know!

Grumzuk, yours isn't done yet; I need your PFS number and the character's individual one.
