Hi everyone!

Please feel free to discuss character options here. Once you've selected your character, please let me know which decks/adventure packs you are using, your PFS # for the character, and what Tier/XP your character is at.

Also, if you have not previously sent me proof of ownership for the products you'll be using in this game, please send that to morkxii@orgplayonline.com. Thank you!


I've narrowed it down to three choices: Ramexes, Seltyiel, or Arabundi. Will depend on what others play.

Grand Lodge

Human Gunslinger (Musket Master) 13 | HP110/110| AC 30 T 23 FF 20 | CMB +13, CMD 36 | F: +12, R: +16, W: +10 | Init: +14 | Perc: +35, SM: +4 | Speed 30ft | Active conditions: None. 6/6 GRIT

Here is what I am thinking:

For myself, Seoni (Core) or Yoon(Occult Adventures 2). Both are self sufficient offensively but Yoon can heep herself healed and can support other players at her location with 1d4 if need be. It depends on the below what I end up choosing:

If Bigguyinblack joins in with Hakon that gives us a Melee Knowledge and Diplomacy.
If MauveAvenger goes with Arabundi to maximize their recharge 1d4 support that gives us ranged and more knowledge and Divine.
If Shnik plays a Fighter/Barbarian archetype (or even a Goblin Fight/promo) that gives us another varied melee with (generally) Fortitude and another varied skill.


I'll be playing Vika, using the Fighter Class Deck and Ultimate Combat.

Skillwise, that's Melee and Fortitude, a touch of Disable, and... Craft!

Haven't created the PFS character or sent the proof of ownership yet.

You are thinking of using classic stuff and not the new adventure packs? Or do you not have the new core set?


I don't own the Core/CotCT sets so I'll be using class decks. If I do go Arabundi, should I go Ultimate Magic or Ultimate Wilderness?


I own Core and Curse, but I have also purchased a huge pile of class decks I want to play with! I'll be using replacement cards where appropriate.

For Arabundi, he seems really spell-oriented, so I'd tend towards Ultimate Magic.

Rangers have a cure, so if you were planning on being the team healer go UM for the 2nd one, otherwise UW is a better option. Although, if you have it UC and UE have better DEX based weapons.


Deck Handler Desired upgrades Item 4, Armor 3, Ally 4, Weapon 4

Tbh Arabundi seems to struggle with either. He is slightly better at ranged but is a ranger without survival and doesn't care about animal allies so Ult Magic I guess.


Either way, for Seoni or Yoon, I will be using the Adventure Packs.


Hmmm... may go with Ultimate Wilderness. He only has two spell slots so UM may not be the best.

Can't remember the new rules - we can use any level B boons when building our decks and not just Basic ones, right?


1 person marked this as a favorite.
Deck Handler Desired upgrades Item 4, Armor 3, Ally 4, Weapon 4

MauveAvengr did you want to play Arabundi for RP reasons? The other 3 Rangers in that class deck get more use out of Ult Wilderness.

It's B with the Basic Trait first. Unless your character is the owner of a boon, then they get it regardless.

I'm already playing Harsk+UW in one game. Could be convinced to play another ranger. Though with Hakon and Vika, that might be an overload of Melee.

I could go with UM. Gonna look through the cards and see which is better for Arabundi.


Proof of ownership for both Yoon and Core/Crimson Thrown

For whatever I decide based on the group.

Able to aid a STR check by d8+1 with bury card. Can exchange cards in discard.
Mix bag of boons.

Zalarian Unknown

TColMaster Seoni (Core) Arcane, Alchemy, Support

INT d8 Knowledge d8+1
CHA d12 Arcane +2, Diplomacy +2

Discard card/recharge spell for innate magic ability. Auto recharge Arcane spells. One weapon, no armor.

============================================================
Seoni is going Alchemy for a potion of healing. If Hakon and/or Arabundi both take a cure, 3 heals in a 5 man group should be sufficient given our force composition. Otherwise as far as Zalarian goes, his options are very much open. A rogue type character wouldn't go amiss, but anything is on the table.


Deck Handler Desired upgrades Item 4, Armor 3, Ally 4, Weapon 4

I haven't finished my deck handler yet but this is the deck list.

I'll be adding another copy of Soothing Word instead of a weapon as loot.

Not a bad starting list. I would, however, suggest removing the Benefactions for something else. You can't ever use them on yourself. Other blessings you can.

Looking for Weapon 1, Item 1, and Blessing 1.


Deck Handler

Here is Arabundi. # 215382-1009

Didn't use an Ultimate Deck. Still deciding on which to use (UW/UM maybe UC).

I'm in Idaho for a week visiting my parents so wont be able to send proof of ownership.

Also looking for a Weapon 0 or 1, Item 1, or Blessing 0.


A couple of questions before we start:

  • We have the option of adding the CotCT cards to the vault, or just playing with Core set cards. Any preference?
  • What difficulty level do we want to play on? I'm going to default to Normal, but if everyone prefers Heroic or Legendary, then we can bump it up.
  • Do we prefer Hangouts or Discord?


  • Deck Handler Desired upgrades Item 4, Armor 3, Ally 4, Weapon 4

    I don't object to adding CotCT but I don't think our party makes the best use of the boons in it.

    I prefer normal.

    While I'm fine with Discord or Hangout, Discord is easier to read recent posts so the communicating strategy seems better on it.


    TColMaster Seoni Deck Handler

    I've only ever played normal. Is there any difference in rewards? As far as CotCT, add them in.

    No preference to Discord or Hangouts.


    TColMaster Seoni Deck Handler

    One thing that two previous Outpost III groups have been using is a standardized turn layout. It is straight forward and allows not only the other players, but the BR to easily see what is going on, and spells out the turn nicely.

    You can copy/paste this into your profile description so that you can customize it by adding in the proper gender/name and easily grab it for each post. At the bottom you put your character hand update.

    Here is a doc with the coding

    OK..Quinn is my first preference especially since he looks like to be a good fit to the current group with his disable and barrier abilities.

    However, he is currently in the last scenario of PBP game A Night at Bloodthorne Manor where the henchman is top card of one location which then leaves one final location.

    If the timing doesn't work, I don't mind playing Ukuja for first scenario and then bringing in Quinn for the remainder. I also could make a new character but would need to figure out what...would likely lean toward Siwar. I think Quinn currently gets caught unprepared for monsters moreso than any of my other characters..I get the impression she would be much less prepared more often than Quinn but could be a fun challenge.

    BR Questions:

  • Ownership - Ownership of Core/curse along with 3 paizo mats and other qualifying Paizo items (deck box and scenario mat) have been provided in past
  • We have the option of adding the CotCT cards to the vault, or just playing with Core set cards. Any preference? My preference would be to adding CotCT cards mainly as I think that would be the most likely way I see that being played if it was done in a f2f since folks would spend the time to separate based on tier but not so much on the card source. A minor quibble is that characters built using the box in a home game actually meant that for a 5 player game 75 level 0 cards are spoken for which means acquisitions seemed more likely to be higher grade ones but honestly I don't think that changes the distribution much having both in
  • What difficulty level do we want to play on? I'm going to default to Normal, but if everyone prefers Heroic or Legendary, then we can bump it up. I have only played Heroic/Legendary in a F2F game a couple of games and didn't think it was too bad. I won't push it but would be fine playing any difficulty level.
  • Do we prefer Hangouts or Discord? Discord is preferred but I don't mind hangouts..I keep hearing hangouts changing/going away but that hasn't happened yet. The only active hangouts I am currently in is the BR one. I do have a discord server that has several games with several bots to help mitigate things such as multiple characters on the same server and the like but I admit it is a mixed bag since the implementation used causes some minor annoyances such as sometimes seeing duplicate posts and only able to edit the last aliased post (assuming it is yours).

  • 1) Don't mind adding CotCT cards in.

    2) Normal is fine by me.

    3) Both Discord or Hangouts is fine. Do have a slight preference for Discord but fine with Hangouts as well.


    -I'm good with Core only, but don't mind adding Curse if the other players want it.

    -Normal is fine for me.

    -I have a slight preference for Discord, since that's where my other games take place.


    Alright then, lets give Discord a shot. Zalarian, would you be willing to set up a table for us on your server?

    I've added the Curse cards to the vault.

    Zalarian, any guess how long till Quinn will be free? I have no problem waiting a little bit so you can play your preferred character.

    Since we got 4 of them there should be no issue with me taking Blessing 1 as one of my upgrades. And picking Weapon 1 for my chosen boon.

    Spending the hero point on power feat +1 hand size.

    First scenario as Hakon so starting XP/Hero points 0. Now 1 XP 0 HP.

    Actually, Bigguyinblack, there are also 5 Blessings 1, so it doesn't change much.

    I'll assume everyone gets their "free boon" of choice without other players "stealing" them?

    Vika's updates will be... the exact same as Hakon's!
