PFS1 #3-10: The Immortal Conundrum - GM: I'm DMing In Your Closet (Inactive)

Game Master noral

Lorian. Use that name on all of his chronicles.

hey guys...do you think we'll be done for Gameday? wouldn't mind getting another game on this toon...

Rough guess, this is the last battle. I would say that the one you crit is probably in a world of hurt having taken 54 damage.

I am not sure on your math however. It looks like you power attacked for +6 damage. If I am reading this right, you took a -3 to the attack, however, you are not +8 BAB to take the additional -1.

1d20 + 15 - 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 15 - 3 + 1 = 14
1d8 + 7 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 6 + 6 = 27

Attack Breakdown: +7 BAB, +5 for dex, +1 for the weapon, +1 for Wpn focus. (not sure on the other +1 is coming from). -3 for PA and +1 for Bless

Damage: Weapon damage, +1 for the weapon, +6 for Slashing grace, +6 for precise strike, and + PA.

Guessing that your dex is +6 and not +5 as shown on the sheet?

Edited as I looked closer to the damage breakdown. Still not sure on the PA. Sorry, need more coffee.

swash weapon training...lvl 5 class training...and you're right...should only be +4 not +6...had a brain cramp....

Got it. I forgot about the 5th level Swashbuckler ability. Will have to remember that the next time I play my recently leveled Swashbuckler.

hey guys...do you think we'll be done for Gameday? wouldn't mind getting another game on this toon...

Gameday's the start of next month, right? I am happy to say we will almost certainly be done by then! I was not sure at all, but we pulled it off.

Speaking of what you gents are speaking of, what can you someone who's considered making a Swashbuckler, but is held back by certain qualms?:

1) - It feels a little too rigid, not customizable enough, I wouldn't mind an alternative to parry-and-riposte
2) - It seems, strangely, that one can do better damage by pledging to slashing weapons than can ever be done with piercing; am I wrong, and if so, what am I missing?

Laying more of my cards on the table: I have a very specific concept in mind, and I want it to be someone whose weapon of choice is a punch dagger, katar, or pata (she may use a shield in her off-hand, or nothing, but dual-wielding will not be her cup of tea in any case).

The 5th level swash buckler ability also gives you Improved Critical.

Fencing grace is an option (Dex to damage) but is limited to the rapier (UI). As for not liking parry-and-riposte, they have Veiled Blade that swaps it out for Quick-draw from the same book.

Mouser might work for your idea but subject to the same weapon issue and would be better if you are using a small character.

the Rondelero swashbuckler uses the Falcata,,,add slashing grace and you get a decent melee character.

The 5th level swash buckler ability also gives you Improved Critical.

Then why does Mykel's character sheet say it threatens on 19-20?

Swapping 'hats' for a moment:

the Rondelero swashbuckler uses the Falcata,,,add slashing grace and you get a decent melee character.

I don't want that, though; my intended character's weapon of choice is very specific. Why the hell do Swashbucklers get MORE leeway with slashing weapons than piercing???

ahh..sorry...forgot to edit the crit range on my sheet...sorry for the confusion...

I agree. So far Bladed Brush (Glaive, not PFS legal, sad face), Slashing Grace (Scimitar) and Rondelero Archetype(Falcata) are available for slashing weapons with Fencing grace (rapier) the only one for piercing.

The only other option for those specific weapons you want for your build is to spend 6-8,000 gp for the Agile property, depending if it is already +1.

Many crits this round.

My pirate has slashing grace, but with a cutlass. That sword is in a splat book (player companion). Did it more for flavor than anything.

i jusat realized how much of an idiot i am...i can't take power attack...don't have 13 str...i was so excited to get a feat i forgot the str requirement...will revise after the scenario...i feel like such a noob...

Sorry for the delay. I homeschool my kids, and we started yesterday, and I had no brain left after we were done. :)

Hi GM, I think we are almost through the scenario, right?

Would be great if we could wrap this up.

Thanks a lot!

Have a great weekend everyone!

It was a little unclear to me whether you, the PCs, were supposed to translate the logs on your own, but whatever; Mission Accomplished.

If everyone could please give me an E-mail address, I will get you your Chronicles as soon as I can.

Thanks so much! I will email you my address. :-)

My address is teddyberman@gmail.com. Thanks aplenty for the game!

did you get my pm with my email?

I've sent you a PM with my email. Thanks for running this!

did you get my pm with my email?

Yes; I'm sorry it's taking so long.

Thanks a lot GM!

I got everything!

Have a great week!

hey. can i get the gp total for the scenario? i can wait on the chronicle...

@Claudia, if I may ask, why/how the huge change in Society serial number? If I were one of the few and proud with a 3-digit number, I'd be pretty unhappy with a 'demotion' to 6 digits.

got the email....ty!

When we started this game, my campaign service coin and new number had been announced, but not yet implemented in the system. I had switched over to using the new number (hence asking you to use it on the chronicle sheet), but it did not yet work for reporting. Since then, the stuff on Paizo's end has been completed, so now either number should work for reporting.

I don't understand; "campaign service coin"?

Alright, you should all now have been sent your Chronicles! Let me know if anything's wrong.

Final order of business: Now's your opportunity to claim Faction Card Objectives, if you wish and can!

Just tell me which Season's Card you're presently using, and I can tell you whether you managed to achieve anything from it in this adventure (if it's a "roll-to-recruit-NPCs" deal, I'll let you roll that ex post facto)!

Also, I DID make one mistake: I should've crossed out the higher-Tier loot section on all of your Chronicles; please do that manually when you print them.

Thanks GM!

Thank you for running this I'm DMing In Your Closet!

Will do, if my printer can print it out, maybe get a laser printer next. Tired of ink cartridges drying up.

Going for the Sovereign Court Season 7, 1st entry (Recruit a named NPC aristocrat, ambassador or similar figure. DC 14+CL(7) with two boxes checked off (+6) so DC 27 Diplomacy or K:Nobility) Rolling for S&G since I can do it without rolling.
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 32 ⇒ (5) + 32 = 37

Whom do you recruit?

Ambassador Ceralan. Post from 7/8 when we were going into the Ambassadors office

Once the issue is resolved, if the Ambassador is named in the adventure, Lorion will recruit him for the Sovereign Court. Diplomacy check 14+ level (7) +3 for each box checked (2) so DC 27, no need to roll.

The guy you never actually met? I assume you don't mean the assassin who took his place (and Syl'las's poison makes it very unlikely he survived)....

Chronicle's in, and looks good! Thanks again.

Tiger Tail ice cream was new to me; it sounds...kind of unbearable.

Ah. What about Ofarah? Does she meet the criteria?

Absolutely.

Welcome to the Sovereign Court Ofarah!

Thank you. Now to GM one more game and recover material used to Blackmail a NPC noble and I will have filled the sheet.

Yeah, it seems like a very hit-or-miss, Schrödinger's flavor to me. And it'll stay that way, because I doubt it's worth firing up the ol' celiac over! Just seemed like a good answer.
