Welcome! Please dot in here and in the gameplay thread. As we're playing on Legendary, this is not recommended for new-comers, but new characters are welcome. You might even consider decking your character out with some boons from previous conventions (if you're like me, you have a stack of them lying around waiting for the right time to use them).
Legendary mode is played with 3 wildcards - either chosen by the group, randomly, or some combination. We can discuss how exactly we want to do this as we get closer to start.
Legendary mode also adds banes of 1 higher tier and # is also increased by 1 for banes. That means that we'll be seeing lvl 2 monsters and barriers in the first scenario, as well as veteran banes being (even) more difficult.
I'm looking forward to killing your characters running this game for you!

Howdy!
I'll play Quinn. All things clear at the beginning: he's played the first scenario on regular strength before...twice. The first time they team ran out of time. The second time he had success.
The third time? On Legendary mode!
I'm applying a boon (Harrow's Fortune) to him.
Hope that's all good. If no bueno, then I'll just re-make a brand-new Quinn who hasn't lived and re-lived the first scenario of this season yet. Same boon.
Thanks for running!
All good. I'm expecting/hoping to see the most decked out tier 1-2 characters as possible.
I've never played anything above normal but I've talked myself into thinking Oracle CD + Divine adventure pack is pretty awesome.
I'll be playing S&S Alahazra.
Oracle + Divine + Occult
I wont actually be applying any specific boons to her unless the season 6 one is good but I have completed Dragon's Demand and CotCT.
I still have to put her deck together. Plenty of time.
I am looking for input on her starting deck actually.
She has d12 charisma and the skill divine charisma +2. And she adds 2 to her attacks.
0 weapons, 2 items, 5 spells.
Item options include 2 Flame Staffs, a Holy Symbol and Holy Water.
Spell options include Holy Light, Divine Insight, Find Traps, 2 Cures, and a couple of basic divine +2d4 attack spells.
I offer an alternate option to the table, Kasmir.
Arcane caster who can use Cure spells.
The Witch class deck has good cure and attack spells.
UM offers many good boons including Restorative Touch. Though not much in the way of support boons.
Support leans towards divine but I could use Enhance, Good Omen, Restorative Touch.
Probably Arcane for the 3rd deck. His 1d8 +2 might not be enough Perception to fully utilize the Occult pack.
Well it depends on what roles we have. You are playing Quinn and despite Cartmenbeck's comments I don't know what anyone else is playing.
Alahazra's examines are tempting. I can't deny the power of UM but I already played her with UM so am leaning toowards Oracle + 2 Adventure Packs.
Occult has great tier 1 blessings and a couple of very strong items at high tier. I won't have Perception until tier 4 unless we get bonus feats so focusing on the skill may be a bad idea.
Divine has Gray Maiden Plate, Some undead related boons, Divine Insight, and Steal Soul.
Support doesn't have much the 3 spells I mentioned but Oracle is a deep class pack.
So okay. Alahazra. Oracle CD + Divine.
But Support or Occult for the 3rd deck?
Edit: Occult. Those high tier boons will come in handy when things start getting really rough.
Still gotta find the balance between attack spells, healing, and support with only 5 spell slots.

I'm eyeing Arueshalae (unlocked via the redone Season of the Righteous adventure 3 reward). Not sure on deck composition just yet. Which role I end up going with will likely be based on the RP during the scenarios and not anything predetermined.
Cool!!!
Sometimes the question comes up in chat "Do we need an X?" but of course not everyone will be around to answer. So it can be helpful for us to list at least our priority upgrades each tier so we know what to spend resources on.
For Alahazra
Priority
Item 1 Binder's Tome
Other
Spell 1 Pyrotechnic Blast
Spell 1 Holy Light
Ally 1 Bodyguard
Blessing 1 Iomedae's Justice
Blessing 1 Desna's Freedom
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Priority:
Item 1 Embalming Fluid
Everything else is a pale second.
Priority:
Ally 1 (Priest of Asmodeus)
Weapon 1 (Cold Iron Greatsword)
Secondary:
Blessing 1 (The Bear)
Weapon 0 (Gallivance)
Item 1 (Anubis Staff)
Blessing 1 (The Beating)
Blessing 1 (The Big Sky)
Blessing 1 (The Paladin)
Blessing 1 (The Avalanche)
Figured out my deck composition: HV2 + Ranged pack + Finesse pack.
Would be mostly looking for:
Weapon 1: Deathbane Light Crossbow
Item 1: Helpful Haversack
Ally 1: Priest of Abadar
Blessing 1: Desna's Freedom, Blessing of Baalzebul
But my upgrade choices are very fluid and largely based on what I feel that I or the party was struggling with, so the above list is definitely not locked in stone. In my opinion, it's generally worth spending resources on any boons whose level is equal to #, even if nobody ends up taking it as an upgrade it's better to have that option on the table. Would rather have too many # boons than not enough, and if you don't encounter any other # boons then that questionable one might just end up getting chosen after all.
2nd xp at tier 1. Spending the Hero point on power feat +1 to hand size. 0 HP remaining.
Upgrade preferences.
No interest in the Ring of Protection.

for Gallivance
Priest of Asmodeus

7-1A preferences:
1.) Hero Point - I'll bank it. That brings Reiko to 1 Hero Point.
2.) Tier - I'll stick at Tier 1 for one more game and tier up after the next scenario.
3.) Upgrades - What's better than one Tier 1 Item? TWO Tier 1 items!! I would be interested in the second Tier 1 item if it falls to me, but I'll give Aruey a chance at one.
4.) Loot - I'd be interested in the Ring of Protection if no one else has an interest.
5.) BOONIES FOREVER!
Tier 1, 1 XP
Power Feat: Hand Size 6. 0 HP remaining
Upgrades:
Loot: Potentially interested, although I already have a lot of damage mitigation so it may be best in someone else’s hands.
Reiko will take both Item 1 upgrades if no one else wants them!
She’s also very interested in the Ring of Protection. Not much damage mitigation here apart from evasion.
7-1A Reward Breakdown
Alahazra - Spell 1, Ally 1, Power Feat: hand size
Thargrap - Weapon 0, Ally 1, Power feat.
Reiko - Item 1, Item 1, loot: Ring of Protection, Bank HP
Arueshalae - Ally 1, Blessing 1, Power feat: hand size
No Gameday boons :(
Reiko will claim the loot Ring of Protection in place of her Compass. She will drop the Noxious Bomb for Embalming Fluid and Spider Venom for Gem of Physical Prowess.
Scenario 7-1B wrap-up:
Upgrade pool:
Weapon - 10
Spell - 10
Armor - 110
Item - 10000

Blessing - 111
Scenario 7-1B stuff:
Reiko will save her Hero Point, then immediately Tier up to Tier 2 at the end of this scenario.
Upgrade rolls:
She has a modest interest in the new loot. She's happy to continue to use the Ring of Protection.
3rd xp at tier 1. Spending HP on skill feat +1 to Charisma. 0hp remaining.
Tier 1.2, take the skill feat Dexterity +1.
Hey y'all, this seems like the right time to apply an award won in a different game!
I recently completed Tyrant of the Harrow with another character. As part of the rewards, I'm applying the following to Reiko:
Tyrant of the Harrow reward: Additional Adventure Reward: Each player may choose one of their Adventure Card Society characters and add the promo card The Real Rabbit Prince to that character's deck box.
The Beating
Giantbane Greataxe
I'll use the hero point on Strength +1.
Reiko will take the Scorpion Whip to replace the Rochin and the Blessing of Kofusachi to replace a Blessing of Quartermaster. She will then replace the other Blessing of the Quartermaster with the newly-acquired reward The Real Rabbit Prince.
Pimped out, fo sho!
Decided to just take the Blessing 1 upgrade, no second one.
Actually I forgot that I had already upgraded to Bodyguard last time so no upgrades this time.
Alahazra - none, Skill Feat: Cha
Thargrap - Blessing 1, none, Skill feat: Str.
Reiko - Weapon 1, Blessing 1, loot: Leech, Bank HP, tier up to 2.
Arueshalae - Blessing 1, Item 1, Skill feat: Dex
Thargrap and Alahazra can still choose upgrades from the remaining cards:
Weapon - 0
Spell - 10
Armor - 110
Item - 0000
Ally - 1
Reiko would've taken the Leech and inserted it in place of the Riding Horse in her deck. I drew that as part of my starting hand, so I've made that update to my hand.
Could I get pfs and character number info from everybody so I can get this game reported? Thanks!
145373-1023
805-1015. Thanks!
44004-1035 (It'll show up as Tup because Thargrap isn't an option in there yet)

No upgrade.
Scenario 7-1C stuff:
Reiko will spend her Hero Point on a Power Feat to increase her hand size to 6.
She’s keen on a Blessing 1 upgrade, and I don’t think I need to roll for it, but let me know if I do. That leaves Reiko with 0 Hero Points.
Reiko is Tier 2 with one completed scenario under her belt.
No real interest in the new loot, but she will keep using the Ring of Protection and Giant Leech if that’s cool.
Card Feat: Weapon 3
Upgrade: Blessing 1
Tier 1 XP 3
Reiko will swap Blessing of Wadjet for The Locksmith.
She will continue to use the Ring of Protection and the Leech unless there's some discussion to be had.

Upgrade pool:
Spell - 0
Item - 1
Ally - 10000

7-1D Stuff:
1.) Hero Point spend on Card Feat (Item).

3.) Reiko has no Hero Points left.
4.) No interest in the new Loot. She’ll keep the Leech. Alahazra can have the Ring of Protection.
Saving the hero point. 2 remain.
Assuming the next scenario is tier 2 I'll tier up.
Will upgrade my Prayer to Blessing of Sivanah.
And since Reiko's armor doesn't actually stop damage without being buried she can keep using the ring.
I missed Ala's Fox. Updated list:
Spell - 0
Item - 1
Ally - 110000
Blessing - 111
