Here's where we'll muster!
I'd love it if you could please provide:
Your name (as you want it on the chronicle)
Your character's name
Your PFS #
Your Faction
Your Day Job
And go ahead and tell me a little bit about what your character does (this is a good place to point out any build-weirdness, typical uses of immediate actions, if you're slow progression etc.)
Let's have some fun!
NB: This is a timed multi-table special. That means that I will definitely bot or delay you after 24 hours, and might do it earlier if:
You're the last one up, I'm about to go to sleep or otherwise be unavailable for long stretch of hours, and at least 12 hours have passed.
That will usually mean just delaying you unless your character has good botting instructions, you've designated someone else to take care of that for you, or it's simple enough for me to just roll for a full-attack or something.
But hopefully we'll just keep up a good clip!

Your name (as you want it on the chronicle)Gayel Nord
Your character's name: Gaétan émond
Your PFS # 43907
Your Faction: Grand lodge
Your Day Job: Survival
Gaétan rôle is to just shoot arrows. He does have a few skill but nothing great.
As a medium, he has a boon that give players a +2 on non damage roll.
P.S he has a lot of tricket for surviving.
He can't see in the dark.
The sheet is in modification. I have a lot of gold to use.

Your name: Nathan Goodrich
Your character's name: Arillia Kaenath
Your PFS #: 37150-2
Your Faction: Liberty's Edge
Your Day Job:
Arillia doesn't have anything very weird going on with her for a Draconic Bloodline Sorcerer. A few options probably bear mention though:
* Robes of Arcane Heritage: this is how her bloodline breath weapon is advanced so high. It used to have more impact, but her level caught up with most of the features it helped her to get early.
* Spell Perfection (Fire Snake): not really a weird option, but I've never GM'd for a character with that feat, and it's probably good to know it's coming. I'm not accustomed to it either, so I've made a spoiler on her character sheet to remind myself of the options it gives her.
* With a few stronger buffs from allies as well as her own, her AC can reach non-trivial numbers, though not enough to tank very reliably at this level.
* Good HP & Fort for a Sorcerer
* Precise Shot for ray spells and such
I brushed up her character sheet today, but it still needs a few tweaks. Mostly, I need to record her chronicle history and any relevant boons it gives her. Those are tough to remember even when they are relevant.

William Unger
Tally McMillen
223990-11
Sovereign Court
I administer my Barony at Fangwood Keep for prestige.
Tally is a bit weird. As a Vexing Dodger she climbs creatures that are one size category or larger. When she is in reach of a creature she may make a Climb check as an attack vs that creature's CMD as part of that movement. If she is successful, she enters that creature's square. After that she starts stacking penalties (Dirty Trick, Disarm, Deafen, -10 to Attack Rolls, etc) on the enemy that she is climbing on. Solid AC, pretty good HP. She doesn't do a lot of damage but with an archer and all of these casters, if might be fine.
Welcome everyone!
I'll be going through profiles as they're confirmed to be complete and reaching out with questions or clarifications before we get going.
Though since Gaétan brought up vision, I'll also ask what light sources your characters will typically have active (cantrips, continual flames, wayfinders etc.)
Also, Arillia, could you put a header in this profile? Something like Agata's would be ideal since your characters are most similar in limited use abilities. And without a particularly deep dive, I suspect you might have more than 67 hp ;-)
Yeah, I'd noticed she was a different level than applied with :-)
There is one more sorcerer signed up on the spreadsheet who hasn't dropped in yet - not sure how that might tweak your party comp. His alias is 7 levels lower than the spreadsheet suggests, so I'm not certain, but I'm guessing a blaster-caster from some context cues.
Our start date will be March 30th, so plenty of time to get characters loaded up, and hopefully for them to fix the avatar situation o_o
|
My choices are Agata (level 16 witch, debuffing) and Yuri (level 14 chained barbarian, frontliner). Yuri is out of tier but seems like we might need that more than a third arcane. Do we have any healing at all? Or status removal? Seems like we should see if we are going to get a 6th PC and what they might bring to the table.
A 6th PC has joined the spreadsheet!
They're a whip-wielding fighter/rogue/pain taster, whom I will need to study closely since I'm not familiar with that prestige class, but with AC 38, 150 hp, and DR 5/- seems like they're not going to mind being in melee.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
For that sweet sweet sneak attack?
|
|
A Pain Taster? Consider me excited. I make flanking easy and the two of us should be able to throw out some pretty decent damage while keeping things occupied. It will be interesting to see how they built the hero.
I also find it a little amusing that the escaped Nidalese slave has had a Kuthite in her party for the last 6 adventures. The lady just can't catch a break.
I spotted 'Immune to fear' in the tagline and made an educated guess ;-)
Hmm. Excellent point, Géatan - hadn't gotten to Tally yet in my examinations, but level 17 won't be kosher for this adventure :-/

Ahha my bad. I SHOULD be 16. I used the format of one of my other profiles to make this one, so right now there will be lots of stuff that doesn’t make sense on top of general errors. The errors will be ironed out well in advance of the start date. Thanks for the heads up though. If I am somehow 17, I’ll have to bring my Darechaser which is not optimal. For now, I humbly ask for patience.

OK, Karsa should now be up to date. I have put his various buffs into the profile rather than trying to fit them into the tagline as there are a lot of them. I will try and keep any conditions noted in the tagline.
Your name AndrewW
Your character's name Karsa Ibn Jad
Your PFS # 44523
Your Faction Exchange
Your Day Job
A few things to be aware of about Karsa:
1. He is an Orc bloodline tattooed sorcerer, he is not crossblooded. He does focus on direct damage but also has quite a lot of utility spells. He has taken the extra spells FCB since level 4 which is why he has so many extras.
2. Karsa has the shadowbound corruption. This means he has light blindess and he cannot benefit from the aid action or use it himself. It does give him various other benefits and drawbacks including 20% fortififcation. He often uses Protective Penumbra to ignore the blindness.
3. Karsa has spell perfection for the dragon's breath spell. He can add a lot of metamagic to it and, if he only adds one, the casting time does not increase.
4. Karsa can provide three spell tattoos per day. These cannot be spells with any sort of material or focus component. As a default he will tend to give three allies an overland flight tattoo who do not have long term flight options available to them.
5. Karsa casts a lot of buff spells. He uses a lot of long duation buffs. If we have travel time he will hand out four Mind Blank spells to party, prioritising people who have the will power of blancmange. He spends most of his time in the form of a Boggle due to Greater Shapechanger's Gift. He can also cast this spell on you if you want it, it will last 16 hours. You might want to check the polymorph rules if you want this. Karsa will also provide everyone with Life Bubble.
6. Karsa has a familiar but it is never out. He does have a second assistant in the form of a Draconic Ally conjued by way of Shadow Conuration. This never really takes part in combat, its only reason for existence is the 60' blindsense it has to warn of hidden enemies.
7. If we have travel time Karsa will use his Mnemonic Vestment with his Contingency scroll to set up a Contingent Greater Invisibility activated when he clicks his fingers.
8. I use a lot of alchemical items as well. Given we are hard mode at the highest tier I suggest everyoen consider them and what else you can provide to us as a group.
10. For our GM I have played this and am therefore replaying using a star. I will take a back seat on any decision making. I am also running this at tier 15-16 champion mode today and at 12-13 champion mode during Outpost.
Lastly, just need to roll for my empowered false life
*1,5 for 21 temporary HP.

A couple of other things to note about Karsa. He has two immediate action spells he uses, Liberating Command for people who foolishly let themselves get grappled (seriously people, if you have an open neck slot then the Lesser Talisman of Freedom is a life saver) and Emergency Force Sphere for not getting brutally murdered as a squishy caster.
He also wears three rings, Freedom of Movement, Evasion and Greater Inner Fortitude.
Since we're talking other characters, figured I'd toss up the basics of Aid Characters and Champion Mode:
About Champion Mode
This event has two difficulties: Soldier and Champion. Soldier is slightly more challenging than a typical Pathfinder Society special event. Champion is this scenario’s “hard mode,” with increased challenge throughout. As usual for scenarios with increased difficulty, all players at the table must agree to that difficulty. Players who begin in Champion Mode who find the challenges too great can choose to switch to Soldier Mode.
This is a Champion table. If you do not want to play "hard mode," please de-list from the spreadsheet and sign up for another table. Once we're underway, if any one player doesn't want to do Champion anymore, we will swap to Soldier.
Aid Characters
There are two kinds of character you can play during the special: a Primary Character (the PC who personally faces the scenario’s encounters and earns a Chronicle sheet at the end of the scenario), and an Aid Character, who helps with tasks and Aid Tokens throughout.
A player can designate up to 3 of their PCs of 5th-20th level as Aid Characters. Aid Characters must be different PCs from the Primary Character (the character playing the special). The only information I'll need or use in scenario or reporting will be their name, number, and level. The Chronicle sheet is also a place to record whether anything bad happens to the Aid Character in the course of the scenario - AND IT VERY MUCH CAN. Though all risks Aid Characters take are opt-in. Aid Characters have two functions in this scenario: to generate Aid Tokens, and to provide support in Aid Missions that occur during the adventure.
When the player designates a character as an Aid Character, the player chooses one of the following roles and assigns the character to that role. Each table may assign up to 5 Aid Characters to each role. This restriction represents the expedition’s need for agent to take on a balanced variety of roles, and also helps to ensure that there are enough Aid Characters of each type to succeed at Aid Missions.
Your Aid Characters cannot participate in other Pathfinder Society adventures while in the Siege.
A character’s class and character build does not dictate what roles he can take, though players are likely to want to pick roles that fit with their characters’ themes. If a player does not have 3 Aid Characters available, she can fill any remaining slots with generic 4th-level NPC Pathfinders of any role (Iconic or invented characters). These 4th-level NPCs are less likely to succeed than PC Aid Characters at all tasks, but they give all players a way to participate in this scenario’s mechanics. The descriptions below give some examples of the types of routine tasks that Aid Characters in each role perform during the mission, but these characters also attempt Aid Missions or perform heroic actions when they grant Aid Tokens. The level 4 NPCs will not agree to perform heroic actions.
Guard: The combat encounters detailed in this scenario are handled by the Primary Characters, but there is still plenty of danger to deal with. A character assigned to this role helps provide security for the expedition. Characters in this role drive off minor threats that crop up, protect the rear of the expedition, and generally ensure the mission can continue unhindered.
Medic: Most of the healing resources in the expedition are wielded by the Primary Characters for the benefit of further advancing the mission, but the Aid Characters are likely to need healing too. An Aid Character assigned to this role treats wounds, cares for the bodies of the fallen, and dispenses medical supplies.
Muscle: Moving what is effectively a small army into hostile terrain is a challenging task. A character assigned to this role helps move heavy objects, clears passageways, and transports equipment.
Scout: Little is known about the Gallowgarden and the areas below Gallowspire, and what information does exist is often inaccurate. A character assigned to this role roams ahead of the main expedition, learning what threats are present and giving advice on how best to navigate them.
Spellcaster: The sheer number of Pathfinders on this mission presents a heavy demand for spellcasting, particularly spells that can protect agents from harm or remove conditions that they incur. Spellcasters meet up with Pathfinder agents between battles, helping prepare them for the dangers ahead. They may have their own innate spellcasting ability, or they might carry an arsenal of magic items for this purpose.
Aid Tokens
In this scenario, Aid Tokens work a bit differently from in past scenarios. Instead of having generic Aid Tokens that PCs can improve with their skills, each Aid Token represents the efforts of a specific Aid Character.
Each Aid Character role is associated with a specific benefit that Aid Character in that role can provide, but the specifics of these Aid Tokens will be revealed after you've decided what roles your Aid Characters will be filling.
That information can all go up into the Maps & Handouts link as you decide too!

Your name (as you want it on the chronicle): John Paar
Your character's name: Marcus Samuel
Your PFS # 146509-10
Your Faction: Dark Archive
Your Day Job: Sleight of Hand +12
More notes to come, but Marcus is a solid frontliner, despite his penchant for picking locks. He also doesn't need a standard flank for his sneak attack. Thanks to Gang Up any two other threats will trigger flanking for him.
They posted a couple days ago that it should hopefully be resolved this week - so fingers crossed!
For sure - we will be starting with Champion; I just wanted to make sure that people understood the assorted deals :-)
Also, if things are going rough and you'd like to tag out to Soldier, feel free to reach out via Discussion or PM!
Yeah, so what we've got looks like:
Tally and Marcus: Frontline
Géatan: Ranged Specialist
Arillia: Blaster/Utility
Agata: Utility/Debuffer
I'd say that either character could work, though you'd probably be a little more resilient as a party with the summoner if things went awry...

OK, I think I am definately going with the summoner.
Your name AndrewW
Your character's name Zadeh Ibn Jad
Your PFS # 44523-20
Your Faction Exchange
Your Day Job
Things to note about Zadeh:
1. He is a summoner, unlike most he does not rely on his eidolon for combat. Zadeh focuses on the use of summons and has numerous feats to support this. Augment Summon makes his summins tougher and hit harder, Superior Summoner means he gets more when he summons multiples and Versatile Summoner means he can add not just the fiendish and celestial templates to animals but also the aquatic and aerial.
2. Zadeh can summon a larger range of crreatures due to the Expanded Summon Monster feet. Common ones he uses include the Hypnalis (for incorporeals), the Animate Dream (dangerous touch attacks), vulpinal agathions (lots of nose snuggling heals, he once killed a Lich with multiples of these things), Axiomites (free hastes and empowered orders wraths), the Ghawwas Div (hits hard, dangerous poison) and Movanic and Monadic Deva's and the Leonal (lots of SLAs). I may yet purchase a ring of summoning affinity depending on the cost and what it opens up but...
3. Zadeh already wears three rings (freedom of movement, invisibility and inner fortitude). He generally always stays invisible as he is quite squishy. He uses nondetection to get around see invisibility etc but may well purchase a casting of mind blank.
4. On that Zadeh can happily hand out +5 barkskins which last 160 minutes per cast. He will extend some initially but only has two lesser rods. If you want this consistently it may be worthwhile grabbing a lesser extend rod. It is only 3k.
5. Zadeh does have an eidolon but she is never out unless we need to disable traps. She is a small skilled based eidolon. Their relationship has previously been described as, at best, highly dysfunctional.
6. Zadeh can act as a decent knowledge monkey as all knowledge skills are charisma based skills for him.
7. Lastly, Zadeh permanently flies as he has wings, stolen from his eidolons evolution pool. He also has a swim speed from his oracle curse.
And here is Nymeria, Zadeh's eidolon.
Thoughts are with you!
