No additional purchases - this is a brand new character! :-)
I also need to note that I played this scenario with my first character on Sep 13, 2018.
I promise not to spoil any information or use insider knowledge - to be honest, I do not remember much about it... o_O
Is the replay ok with you?
| GM Zin |
Replay is okay with me.
While I respect and expect you to avoid spoilers, I've found that CORE games are almost always played by people who've played the scenario before. If everyone holds back, nobody makes any decisions. Feel free to participate completely!
Leon the Brute

I definitely have some knowledge and experience with this scenario too. I just try my darndest to get inside my character's headspace when making in game decisions.
Fortunately Leon doesn't have too much up there to have to deal with. :D

Thanks, I am looking forward to the game! :-)

Hi Grigory, welcome!
If this is your first game with this PC, then the Chronicle # is 1.
The PFS# should have a -X number with is as well. 45513 is you, -1 is your first character, -2 your second, etc.
Slow/Normal determines how quickly your character accumulates experience and gold. Slow track allows you to play more games with the character before leveling up (6 games per level); Normal track is 3 games per level, and is what most people play unless they have a specific reason otherwise.
If this is Chronicle #1, then your starting XP, and Fame/PP, will be 0; that all looks correct.
If your character has ranks in a Craft, Perform, or Profession skill, you can make a Day Job check to earn a small amount of additional gold. This is by no means required, but if you have the skill, you might as well use it.

Awesome to have you, Grigory. Not only because that at least gives us four to play, but it gives us a Ranger so all our CLW wands can be used!
Kurik
|
Welcome to PFS, Grigory!
@Leon:
Both Nightkit and I could use UMD to activate wands, even if success is not guaranteed.
Hopefully, the CLW wand(s) is/are not needed at all...
(Why yes, I am young and optimistic!)
Leon the Brute
|
For having two fighters, a rogue and a ranger, I think we actually have a pretty darn good array of characters here.
The outpost signup sheet has six for this group, so we should get another rogue and a bard at some point.
And it is totally the right attitude to be optimistic about no or minimal combat. We just started out on our pathfinder journey. We haven't had time yet to be completely beat to heck! :P
Grigory Reinhold

Changed from Human to Half-Orc since it seems like Darkvision might be handy while we're following the sleepwalker.
It's been a couple years since I've played Pathfinder with the exception of trying to GM some of the Beginner Box for my 8-year-old to play solo with some GMNPC help a while back. I might be a little rusty, but I'll try my best.
| GM Zin |
Grigory, since this is a new PC and you are a (relatively) new player, I did a deep review of your PC. There are a few items that are incorrect. - As a half-orc, you don't get the human Bonus Feat, so you'll have to drop one feat
- Your class skills aren't quite correct
- Some items are miscalculated (both to your favor and your detriment)
- Some of your equipment isn't available in the CORE campaign
- You still have one more language to select
I quickly built your PC in HeroLab with CORE settings, and here is a statblock that you can use for reference (I kept Alertness for your feat here; you can of course keep Persuasive if you like that instead; that will change some of your skill bonuses).

Darkvision (60 feet) You can see in the dark (black and white only).
Favored Enemy (Humans +2) (Ex) +2 to rolls vs. humans foes.
Orc Blood Half-orcs count as both humans and orcs for any effect related to race.
Orc Ferocity (1/day) If brought below 0 Hp, can act as though disabled for 1 rd.

Wild Empathy +1 (Ex) Improve the attitude of an animal, as if using Diplomacy.
We start in a little less than a week, so you have some time to make the necessary corrections.

Thanks. It's still a work in progress converting things over from the old human Urban Ranger character sheet from a previous campaign. I keep tweaking things on paper before editing them on here. I haven't made it to changing the equipment quite yet.
Nightkit

As for being 'beat to heck' it's come close for Nightkit. First it was cannibalistic halflings then homicidal gourd leshies. She also had to deal with a love sick party member who kept following her like a lost puppy, so she can't say adventuring hasn't been ... eventful.

@GM Zin:
As Merida is also a brand new character, you might want to make sure she is legal in the core campaign, too.
I tried my best to do so, but four eyes see more than two, right?
It occured to me that I registered her wrongly as standard, so I made a new organized play CORE character. This is her, please disregard the other.

Sounds good; I'll take a look at it this weekend. GM's are supposed to periodically audit character sheets and chronicles anyway, and this is a convention game, so I'll just go ahead and do this for the whole table over the weekend.

@GM Zin:
I have a question - how do you create a CORE character with a faction that is NOT Grand Lodge?
I could not select a different option...
Or are there no other factions allowed in CORE?
Leon the Brute

| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
I can answer that. There is a (now long running) glitch with Core Character creation. I have no clue when (or if?) it will be fixed.
Leon is also in the same boat. I just make sure to let the GM know my proper faction and that I'm unable to change it.
Merida Bowie

Leon, thank you for the quick answer!
Then I will amend my char (again) to take the faction trait from Scarab Sages that I wanted from the beginning!

Selling
Studded Leather 12.5 GP
Total 811-405.1+12.5=418.4 Gp left

Dang. I should have gone armorless to start out and bought Corgrim's old armor at a discount.
Unfortunately, in Pathfinder Society you cannot buy from other players.
| GM Zin |
Okay, the slides are up. Please go and add your token and die roll modifiers to Slide 4 when you have a chance.
Thanks!
Nightkit

Why am I getting Close Encounters of the Third Kind vibes now? And I should check previous Chronicles to see if there is anything useful on them
Nope. Nothing there that's obvious.
Merida Bowie

@GM Zin:
Do you have any idea when (or if) the sixth player is going to join us?
I believe it was a bard named Challa...
| GM Zin |
I've PMed Challa; hopefully they join us soon!
Nightkit
|
I should point out that Nightkit is actually Liberty's Edge but I can just see an administrative error resulting in her getting the wrong faction mission.
And it's usually me that plays the magical nerds. Maybe I should give Nightkit a level of wizard after this?
| GM Zin |
Nightkit literally has the Grand Lodge logo by her token on all of these posts; that's why she got the faction mission she got. :)
Merida Bowie
|
I've PMed Challa; hopefully they join us soon!
Did you get an answer yet?
Merida Bowie

Let's hope our bard shows up soon - and has learned either detect magic or identify.
A mending spell for the mithral longsword would be great, too...| GM Zin |

I'm expecting that, if they see the message, they'll just show up here and start posting. So you'll likely know as soon as I do.

Well, according to the sign-up sheet, she has three OUTPOST games to attend.
But only one of her characters (XabalaTheDruid) has posted so far - his latest post was 37 minutes ago...

I honestly didn't really think that much about light on most of my pc's since I just grab an ioun torch after the first scenario (and my first two Core PC's were a wizard and a dwarf rogue, light isn't really an issue for them).
Then I played a Core Campaign with a half elf ranger and nobody had light and it was dang frustrating. So a Wayfinder became a really high priority for my Core PC's after their first session.
Nightkit

How much does it cost? This is my PCs third session and haven't spent coin yet.

Wayfinders are an always-available item for all Pathfinders at a 50% discount (250 gp instead of 500 gp).

Correction: One of her games is on myth weavers - she is active there, too.
(Sorry if this looks like stalking - that's not my intent. I just want to play with a complete table. Maybe she has forgotten that she signed up for this game...)

Welcome Challa! :-)
How much for 2 scrolls of Feather Fall?
The price of a scroll is equal to the level of the spell × the creator’s caster level × 25 gp. If the scroll has a material component cost, it is added to the base price and cost to create.
In PFS usually every (consumable) magic item is at minimum caster level.
As Feather Fall is a first level spell, one scroll would cost 25gp.
