A place for out-of-character discussion.

Did we lose people?

Hope not, I'm excited to play my first game of pathfinder

We have enough for a table to proceed. I just want to be fair and give those who signed up a chance to chime in before we go on ahead without them.

I completely understand

Entering my character through pathbuilder 2e I believe I made my character with major flaws. Is it ok for me to update my stats?

Absolutely, particularly since we haven't much gotten into any game mechanics yet. Mistakes happen and it is often best to simply address them when they are discovered.

For future reference. i noticed you put a nature DC of 18. could you explain what i can do with that. i know it is a difficulty check of 18. so i would roll a d20 (+) my nature modifier, before the athletic check?

Nature,Arcana, Occult, and Religion have the recall knowledge ability. If you roll and hit DC 18 then you know the info under the spoiler and can open it. And yes, usually it's smart to roll the info checks first because it may help other checks needed.

Fantastic, ty

@ Simi Lalai - I hope all is well. I have not seen any post for you in the Gameplay thread in a while and we are quickly approaching the final combat. If you will continuing with us, please post in the Quest's Gameplay thread within the next 48 hours. If you do not do so, then there is the risk receiving no chronicle or an incomplete chronicle for this quest.

Please respond to my PM today or post here if you have any questions or if giving a little more time to post may be helpful. I want to be fair to all players, both to be inclusive and mindful of demands on others as well as keep the game moving.

I'm good with the marching order as is. Unless one of you guys want to move back.

Hey, everyone and GM Valen. I got your message and sorry for the absence, work has been requiring overtime lately and college has been kicking my rear end.

No problem. I moved your mini.

Thanks Zoosh.

I tried to do a quick lookup on drawing a weapon but couldn't find much. Pls let me know GM Valen if I cannot do this regarding having a sling on my belt or begging able to draw it with one action.

Thanks Zoosh.

Drawing a weapon is one Interact action

Drawing a weapon is one Interact action

Correct. The Interact action is the one used for drawing a weapon as well as obtaining any other "stored object". This is one of those times where the new terminology can make things confusing or, at least, harder to find. I appreciate the desire to make a single mechanic that covers a variety of situations, from retrieving a potion to drawing a weapon to picking a coin up off the ground, but the broad language does make it difficult to search for, particularly as earlier editions had different and specific mechanics for drawing a weapon.

Do I recover from being enfeebled this round?

Do I recover from being enfeebled this round?

Not automatically. Unlike the frightened condition, enfeebled does not automatically reduce each round.

Per Conditions: "Conditions are persistent. Whenever you’re affected by a condition, its effects last until the condition’s stated duration ends, the condition is removed, or terms dictated in the condition itself cause it to end."

Unfortunately, in this case, there is neither a stated end of duration nor terms dictated in the condition to cause it to end. Absent a restoration spell, there is no way to remove the condition during the quest.

Fortunately, at the end of the scenario, the condition will be removed.

Per the Organized Play Guide:
"The Pathfinder Society takes care of its members by removing most ongoing
nonpermanent negative conditions and repairing agents’ damaged gear to the condition it was in at the start of the scenario."

Yes, I am using a greatsword

For full disclosure, Faethor is using claws. I was talking about making room for Dorian to get in the corner so he could use his hammer. 1 of that damage was cold damage though, maybe that'll help.

Ah, yes. I was getting a little over eager, I suppose. Resistance 4, so ONLY the 1 point of cold goes through.

As cold makes a difference, I tried to find the source for the damage.

I cast dragon claws earlier.

Vicious claws grow from your fingers. They are finesse unarmed attacks that deal 1d4 slashing damage and 1d6 extra damage of a type determined by the dragon in your bloodline.

He has the silver dragon bloodline so it's cold damage.

I think that when you stabilize with a hero point you're not supposed to gain the wounded condition, is that right? Probably won't matter here though, this one will come down to Dorian and Gromfur. Get him guys!

Correct. It slipped my mind.

Gromfur’s roll was for damage, not to hit. The construct needs to make a Reflex save.

Is it possible to give my potion to feathor?

If so how many actions points does that take up

You can feed a potion to someone else. Pulling out a potion, or anything really, is an interact action I think. So one action for that. Drinking or feeding would be another action.

@ faethor so you're unconscious, will a potion do anything for you?

As soon as an unconscious character gains 1 or more hit point, they wake up.

wait so how much health does dorian have at the moment

Dorian has 3 Hit Points left at present.

i was contemplating on giving the potion to dorian or faethor

Lol how is it up to the new guy

Dang. That's like 5 crits.

That thing only had 1 hp left didn't it? That sucker was pretty tough and the dice didn't go our way, but nice job everyone. I hope Gromfur wasn't scared off of Pathfinder because of that, it usually doesn't get quite that hairy. I hope to see you around.

That was a close one! Thanks for running :-)

Game has been reported and the chronicles are now up and can be found at this link!

Earn Income rolls were rolled in the Recruitment thread.

For more information on the chronicle sheet, you can look at the Organized Play Guide link, which is here.

Please let me know of any corrections, revisions, or additions that I may have omitted. I will mark this campaign inactive once I have received confirmation of receipt from all players or one week, whichever comes earlier.

This scenario was a very tough fight for low-level PCs. You should be proud of that your PCs survived and that you have quite a story to tell!

I look forward to sharing a table with each of you in the future! Stay safe and happy gaming!

Sorry I bailed I felt my character was useless so I wasn't really feeling like me posting could make a difference in the outcome. But I think the bot did better than what I could've done.

Thank you for a fun first game experience GM Valen
