SFS Salvation's End and After

Game Master therealthom

Welcome to Clone Batch Catastrophe !

And now I'm confused about what I'm supposed to do next with the information from this Chronicle sheet...

Mostly you just hang on to it and keep track of your wealth, boons, reputation, and fame. Though Acheivement Points have now replaced either reputation or fame. I personally only use the sheets for wealth and boons. That's why I can't remember which was replaced.

ACP can let you buy some neat perks. A skill check from an ally or hireling, cheaper raise dead, that kind of thing.

Also, SFS rules limit you to equipment that is no more than one level above your character, except that if a piece of equipment is on one of your chronicles, then you can buy a that piece of equipment if it is no more than two levels above your character.

Stell's leveled up to 4th. She has new armor (Plexiglass Bodysuit) with light projector and concealed compartments upgrades. She all her weapons, her comm unit, and her computer in these compartments which grant +5 circumstance bonus to Sleight of hand checks to conceal them.

She also got a synaptic accelerator personal upgrade to improve her dexterity up to 17. Most of her skills went up a point or two.

Her weapons skills are now 10% more likely to hit and do 2 to 4 extra points of damage from Operative Class features.

I played through Claim to Salvation in another PBP campaign and am applying that credit to Stell.

Doesn't that lift us up to the high tier?
(4+4+2+2)/4 = 3
It seems so, with adjustments for a group of four PCs.

You can play a level 3 or 4. You'll just get less cash than you would if we were playing in the 3-4 tier.

I am willing to play at 4th level but get less cash, as suggested above.

Does this module not have a higher tier option? The description on Paizo products page says it's for levels 1-4.

@Stell, any scenario has a high tier and low tier. In case of scenarios 1-4: 1-2 will be low tier and 3-4 will be high tier. It affects DC of skill checks and number (or sometimes even types) of monsters etc. Which tier we go to is not chosen by the players, it is determined by the average level of the party. The only exception is if we are exactly in the middle, then the players decide.

Now it rather turns out that two level 2 players will get to a high tier and get more money than usual. And the other two will get the norm for tier 3-4.

UPD It seems I misread your question and was now Captain Obvious. Well, let it stay here anyway.

That's been my understanding, but when I posted asking about the effect being level 3 or 4, the GM responded with the quote I included above, so it sounded like there was some reason to run at a lower tier for reduced credits for the higher levels.

So, should I get new gear of some sort now? Or have I missed the chance?

This is still my only real experience with Organized Play and I'm pretty paranoid I'm screwing it up.

Was thinking the party was 4 3,2,2. 4,4,2,2 will get us to tier 3-4.

Excuse that old post. It was stuck in my phone somehow
.

APZ, you can still purchase gear. Since you're playing up, I'd advise the best armor you can afford.

Okay, I am here also. Will catch up today.

TG is still level 2, but maybe gonna buy some additional gear.

Stell also picked up a basic medkit. Her medicine skill is only +7, but its also available for others with higher medicine skill.

Stell will also get 4 serums of healing Mk 1 for 200 cr.

Oh by the way, I also need to buy a new armor too. I deliberately went on previous missions with old equipment )

I can buy what's listed on the Chronicle sheet, right? I could also use a reminder of how many boons I'm allowed to have per slot.

Buy away. You are not limited to the chronicle sheet, except for items 2 levels above your own.

It's one boon per slot. Slotless boons being an exception. I think there was another category that allowed multiple boons. ‘Eκάτη, do you know?

As I do not have much credits - probably this is wise, will do the same!

@therealthom, to be honest, I don't remember too .)

What DOES the list of gear on the Chronicle Sheet do anyway?

@Idir, you can buy weapons and armor according to the following rules:

- From CoreBook items of your level +1 (or less)
- From other books items of your level (or less)
- From Chronicle Sheet of your level +2

@GM, I just checked my chronicle. I was out of subtier since I had level 3. It should be 1,103 credits, I think.

Based on what Kuozar posted, Stell will have to change her armor and upgrades, as they are not from the core book and are 1 level above her current level.

She'll change the armor to Lashunta Tempweave, Basic. For the single upgrade slot, she'll install the light projector. So her weapons will again be attached the usual way with holsters and shoulder harnesses.

I will stay with Squad Defiance Series now with Jump Jets.

And I will start to use more often Dousing Shield now with computer installed via Easy Access Kit.

So hopefully thats gonna be okay regarding protection.

And I am going to try using sniper rifle from Stell, although my shooting bonus really low.

Stell opted not to get the advanced sniper rifle (too expensive for now) so she still has her old Shirren-Eye, but Thundergun could purchase one. This is PFS game anyway so I don't think players can give equipment to other players.

Clegsch is correct, although there is a dodge. You can lend equipment for the duration of a module. So Stell could effectively give Thundergun the rifle by lending it to him at the beginning of every module.

One thing to note, unless Thundergun has taken sniper rifle proficiency he's going to be firing at -4.

TG is a Soldier 1, so he has all necessary proficiency likely.
BUt due to low Dex he is not really good in shooting. So I am good to still stay without any sniper rifle. For now Magic Missles are a good replacement :)

Okay! I finally got Idir all updated and stuff with new gear and slotted boons! It only took me a week! DX

I will be attending a Steampunk convention this weekend. I will likely have Internet and a laptop so I'll try to check to see if any posts are needed, but I won't have a lot of time for involved posting.

Have fun! :D

Have fun! :D

I did. I'm back.

Hi, guys. Sorry for my absence. Had a big last minute project at work before vacation.

I'm away on vacation until Tuesday the 22nd. I'd been hoping to get some posting in, but it looks unlikely until I return. See you the 23rd.

While we are on delay - I made it to play the freshest scenario #6-06.

And also GMed a game recently, so I will up TG to level 3 :))

Cool!

Back as promised on the 23rd. Tanned rested and ready. Off to the game thread.

I'm unable to connect to the Internet. Must replace our router. Hope to be back to normal by Monday evening. I'm posting with my phone.

That sucks, Stell! D:

Hope for a speedy resolution to the issue for ya!

Router has been replaced and I'm back to posting with my computer.

I'll be honest, I'm not entirely certain what we're supposed to be doing except taking the quirkiness of this place in...

Sorry to be absent recently. My wife was hospitalized a few days last week (she's okay and back home now). Between visits to the hospital and finishing my class for the term, I've been distracted from posting.

I'll also let everyone know now that I'm going to be traveling later this week and again toward the beginning of next week. I don't know my access to WIFI although I will have my laptop so I can post if I have time and access. I'll be attending my HS 50th anniversary next weekend.

Glad your wife's home, Clebsch. Would not have guessed you're an old grognard like me. Have fun at the reunion.

Thanks.

I will be traveling for most of the next week. I will have limited time and opportunities to post, so 'bot me as needed.

I'm back.

If anyone wants somethin' to watch/listen to, the folks over at Narrative Declaration are playing Junker's Delight, GMed by Starfinder's Acting Creative Director Thurston Hillman himself!

Vistor asks NYPD Officer Clancy, "What's the fastest way to get to The hospital?"

Clancy, "Walk into O'Malley's Bar and yell ' to hell with the Irish.'"

Idir is very fluent in "customer service speak!"

Hey folks!
Sorry I am missing. Pretty overwhelmed last week.
Hopefully will return this weekend...

Happy Reunion to all my fellow Akitonians and Happy Fifthday to everyone else! Hope you have yourselves a Thanksgiving dinner that couldn't be beat!

I feel somehow more free, but far from having enough time. Thats not rare for me to try lifting too much responsibilities.

But I think now I can return to action!

Sorry guys. Holiday activities are starting early this year. I'll do my best to post, but work has me on the road for the next two weeks also.

Safe travels and enjoy the holidays as much as you can. We'll keep calm and carry on.

Idir to go.
