[PFS 2e] GM Ladile & the Pathfinder Society Present: The Absalom Initiation (Inactive)

Game Master Lady Ladile

^Ah yes, that's right! I certainly don't mind noting your Earn Income on your chronicles anyway, if that would be helpful :)

Lore (Mercantile) (T): Earn Income, Task 0, DC 14: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Thanks for the adventure GM Ladile! It was a blast (literally).

Lore (Labor) (T): Earn Income, Task 0, DC 14: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Hero Point Lore (Labor) (T): Earn Income, Task 0, DC 14: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

After a few dropped boxes and angry words, Bubba gets lucky and finds a stowaway on the ship he was loading. "Well sure that's why I dropped them crates, that guy looked like he had the plague or somethin', Mother protect us all."

Happy to steal the nicely formatted downtime roll!

Game was great, the company even better.

Scribing Lore vs DC 14: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Yeah, I’m not certain if I agree with making players do their own downtime (mostly because of the possibility for misunderstanding a sub-rule system), but it is what it is for the time being.

Thank you all for a lovely game! It’s good to get a better grasp on Maldlethu’s voice and fun to interact with very responsive players. @GM, no cause for complaints here - the game was fun, pacing was good, and adjudication was clear. Thank you for the invitation, and best of luck with Gameday in a couple weeks!

Oof...I had to double check but as best as I can find, most GMs are not allowing Hero Points to be used on Earn Income checks, based on the following:

Some downtime activities require rolls, typically skill checks. Because these rolls represent the culmination of a series of tasks over a long period, players can’t use most abilities or spells that manipulate die rolls, such as activating a magic item to gain a bonus or casting a fortune spell to roll twice. Constant benefits still apply, though, so someone might invest a magic item that gives them a bonus without requiring activation. You might make specific exceptions to this rule. If something could apply constantly, or so often that it might as well be constant, it’s more likely to be used for downtime checks.

While using a HP on Earn Income doesn't seem to be expressly forbidden, based on my searching through the forums, Discord, and the Guide, it does look like the majority are not allowing it at their tables - which is obviously a change from PF1e allowing you to use rerolls on Day Job checks. Hopefully there'll be an official clarification on this at some point.

Sadly you can't spend your Hero Points on downtime rolls. Or at least that's what I've been told by a few GMs.

Underworld Lore: 1d20 + 3 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 2 + 2 = 12

Whew, that conclusion got really hairy. Random monster crits really swing battles. My intimidation doesn't help much, sadly.

Uh, do I need to deal with that failed Fort Save? I know in PFS1e you had to resolve any long term ailments like disease before getting your chronicles, or you were considered dead.

No worries, its only a few silver regardless. Bubba's not a great porter for some reason since it relies on his brain!

The disease isn’t fatal anyhow, and you killed the cacodaemon that would use the disease to telepathically tempt you.

Good timing getting this done before the Gameday special! Thanks everyone, and special thanks to Our Great Lady for running and inviting me to get started in PF2. While this was running, I started and leveled a PF2 character to 2nd, made a female half-elf wit swashbuckler, and even played her once at 2nd already.

I'm okay with the system, though there's obviously still a lot I need to learn to keep up. I'm not full-thrust gung-ho on it, so for now I'll play 2e when that's what's available.

And I don't think I ever posted this stuff:

Nomadical

Horizon Hunters ('natch)
Day Job: Sailing Lore: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

Jirelle heads down to the docks, and her expertise is readily apparent to the first-mates looking for a bosun. It isn't long before she's headed back out to sea. Who knows when, or even if, she'll set foot back in Absalom again....

Okay, at long last I have the game reported and you can find your chronicles --> here. Please look them over and let me know if there are any corrections that need to be made :)

(Yes, I forgot that Fame is no longer a thing in Society play but didn't catch it until I'd already finished all the chronicles. If you want me to change it on your chronicle, I'm happy to do so or you may simply mark it out/disregard it.)

I'll leave the campaign thread open for another day or two and then close it down. Thanks again everyone for being willing to play guinea pig for me!

My chronicle looks great. Thank you GM!

Aaaaaaaaand Secrets and Magic are out. Time to make a Summoner. Or 2. Or a dozen.

Everything looks good on my end as well.

I've got it! Thank you.

Good to go here!

Got it, thanks!

Hokay! I'll go ahead and mark the campaign inactive but if you end up needing a chronicle correction/reissue later on, just shoot me a PM and I'll get it taken care of as soon as I can.

Thank you again for playing! :)
