Game Master Dennis Muldoon

Discuss your adventures here.

Please fill out the information on slides 2 & 3 of the Maps & Handouts deck (also linked at the top fo the page and in my GM alias tagline.

Done. Wow, a legacy boon from a scenario exist?
It is sad we i hadn't played slayer end. (I thought so but no)

Yarr. Slides filled out.

As mentioneed elsewhere Arrus has thorough reports and Scrollmaster so receives a +4 to identify creatures he's previously identified.

List is in profile, also here.

Hey, I signed up for this on a saturday night where I was a little over exuberant, and may have over extended myself. I'm going to withdraw my cleric.

** spoiler omitted **

You know, i have the same feat and "PFS StandardThorough ReportsFeat 4

On page 348 of the Bestiary, you see the types.

I've always read that feat to be about specific creatures (as Arrus listed), rather than the broader categories. The second sentence reads that way to me, since it specifies creatures on your list, rather than creature types on your list:

....When attempting Recall Knowledge checks against creatures on your list in later encounters....

Should be all set!

OK... I have a problem then. I did not record the creatures, i had identified only their type as written. The second sentence was for me that if the creature were part of this type, you had a +2 (or +4 for for scrollmaster)

This is your table and I will abide by your jugement. I will act as I have no creature recorded. Except for one creature.

Qxal. :)

Also, my skills are written on the profile. I have automatic knowledge on Nature. I don't know how that will change the introduction. (because it is a free action assurance on nature).

By the way, how's automatic knowledge been for you?

My worry was the assurance # was too likely to fail thus locking out further checks, but PFS adventures have been a lot better about using a variety of creatures instead of a single +2 or the like.

It didn't work most of the time. I had automatic knowledge with occultism even. My plan one year ago was to have automatic knowledge on every recall knowledge for monster.

First, the feat is obscure for the gms i played with. Second, it will work on minions (their level are under after all) i fought some adventure with a level bump.

I thought that gms accepted a minimum result on any recall knowledge check on the introduction section. (Have the result of 15 and then roll if you have higher) but most of the time, it was like i just had only assurance.

I would say automatic knowledge on society and religion would be the most useful in my opinion to identify monsters. But i haven't played with Omble lately, so we will see.

Thanks!

As I was finishing my post realized I forgot to resolve my daily longstrider wand via trick magic item and didn't want to mess with my combat post...
need an 18 before a crit fail.

Nature DC 18: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34

Success, 40ft move speed today.

I have the same thing but with assurance. (Auto success)

Yeah, automatic knowledge works!

Hi all,

I'm planning a run through of the Breaking The Storm metaplot 3-part story arch. Three of you have already signed up, and I have 2nd GM (Tyranius) lined up to start the second table once this game wraps up. If anyone else is interested in Tyranius's table please see the recruitment post. Cheers

Wow!

But i don't have a scroll of this.

How are folks feeling with PaizoCon coming up? Do we need to pause for the weekend, or are we good to continue?

If you are offering it...

For some other reasons, i would like a pause for the weekends

Six and one-half dozen of the other for me.

I won't be at PaizoCon, so either is fine with me.

Pause, please!

I always think I'll be able to keep up with Play-by-Post during virtual conventions, and then I never can.

Alright, that's two votes for pausing and two no preference, so let's pause. We'll pick this up again on Tuesday.

Did we slot boons already? Is that still a thing in the new AcP setup?

You don't have to slot your boons in PF2, you just have them. The only limitations are that you can only benefit from one promotional boon and one advanced boon per scenario.

Buffs for all! Also I don't think there's a time limit on using the +1.

Sorry, you're right. I had it marked in my head as being the same as the Investigator version, which does have a time limit.

That fleeing monster, shall be hunted down ala Moby Dick for that +1 to hit many years later :P

Shouldn't we take some time to heal up first?

Rex can use Natural Medicine via his henchman at +11 but maybe someone else is better at it? I do have a few healing elixirs as well.

I was sure we were at a level we could hand-wave it. Each minute, we are talking i am healing so...

As we discussed after the first encounter, we are actually somewhat limited in our healing options in this party.

Arrus can hit the DC 20 treat wounds with assurance but doesn't have ward medic or continual recovery. (Does have battle medicine though)

With spending at least 10 minutes to refocus I'm happy to heal Rex and assuming people's headers are up to date that should cover us.

My idea is Xanno first. But if she fails, she will prepare an action to aid omble (he is expert on arcana) omble will cast guidance on both rex and Bardok if Xanno roll is a success. Rex an bardok do their action with the third action will be to prepare an aid reaction. Arrus (hireling] will be our last line of defense.

Rex can only try diplomacy. He is not an expert in arcana or performance.

Wait. I was thinking we don't need to do all of the three rolls on one charecter.

You don't need it to be all one character. Xanno could lead with Arcana first, then Bardok and Rex could follow with Diplomacy if you'd like (or any other similar combination).

Did we distribute the Glyph hero points?

But if Bardok has a better Diplomacy score, then wouldn't it be best for him to make both attempts? I guess the question is does subjecting more people to the hazard to try to get it done in fewer rounds make more sense or does it make more sense to only send a few and have us swap out if they get too hurt.

Happy to do both, but each attempt takes two actions, so we might need someone else to try it if we don't want the melody to get a chance to act.

Did we distribute the Glyph hero points?

I didn't bother asking, because I knew there were enough glyphs between Arrus and Xanno to give one to everyone. I believe only Omble has spent one so far, so he has one remaining, everyone else should have 2 (or three if they have a campaign coin). They are shown on slide 2 of the slide deck, next to your names.

Did we look all of the second floor?

Yes. There's nothing to find there aside from the staff you talked to.

I am grabbed by a reach. Can i still attack it?

Yes, since it is reaching out of its space to grab you, you can attack it's arm.

The haste on our ranger is a very good idea.

FYI, I'm going to be away from my computer from tonight (Sunday evening, US Pacific Time / UTC-7) through Tuesday evening, so expect slow or no posts during those couple days.
