They posted about the scenario here.
No stats for the pregens yet afaik.
Thanks for offering to run this for us, Tiger. And thanks for that link, BigGuy.
From the vague description of the 4 characters, I think I'd like to try Doc Featherton, if the other players don't mind, of course.
I've not seen a description, but happy to play any of them
A few posts above, Bigguyinblack included a link to the Paizo announcement which has a short description of the 4 pregens.
Then I will be playing Zakzak.
Don't think I've ever played with even 1 from NZ, let alone 2. Nice. Maybe I'm the only one from the States? I'm in San Diego, CA.
I'm in Georgia US.
Hurrah.
Thanks for the pregen data, Tiger! A few errors that folks have mentioned on other forums:
[u]Doc[/u]
o Stealth should be +9 (trained w/ 18 dex), not +6
o Bayonet should be +9 (finesse), not +5
[u]ZakZak[/u]
o There's a non-existent 2e feat called Improved Initiative listed. Some assume it's meant to be Incredible Initiative, but that makes no sense since the Ten Paces ability already grants +2 init. Since the listed feat doesn't exist, maybe ZakZak's player chooses a valid General Feat?
[u]Equipment[/u]
o Doc is trained in Thievery, but has no Thieves Tools. Doc has 13.5gp. Would you allow her to purchase Thieves Tools for 3gp with her allotted gp? If not, ZakZak has Thieves Tools, but is untrained in Thievery. So maybe ZakZak would allow Doc to borrow them if necessary?
o ZakZak's Ten Paces allows him to quickdraw a 1-handed firearm, but he has none. Seems like an unintended omission. ZakZak has 13.9gp. Maybe you'd allow him to purchase a Dueling Pistol for 12gp (or something similar)?
There may be other errors/omissions in the other pregens, but these are the ones I've heard about.
Booker has training in crafting via his munitions crafter feat, but it is not listed in his skills. I manually added it. It also doesn't list the formulae he knows - which is more of a problem.
You can go to Account Settings and Create New Alias. The button is at the bottom of your Messageboard Alias tab.
Yes, what ZakZak said. It's definitely not intuitive. Whenever I try to do that for these OneShot pregens, it always takes forever to find. :)
And you all know about the Browser extension called Paizo Campaign Tools? Once the free extension is installed in your browser, Paizo will remember the active character for that particular campaign. You never need to worry about editing the Post As pulldown when making posts to the boards. Really handy when playing more than 1 Paizo pbp game at a time.
ZakZak is confused because he learned the Way of the Pistelero and then crafted a 2 handed gun.
You still end up with thousands of different aliases. Which I why I am going to reuse Valrani for this game.
Not sure about needed but it couldn't hurt.
Since ZakZak is so facinated with Goblin history how about Ancestral Paragon for Goblin Lore.
He already has the Stealth skill so maybe add Society (Int) since the city seems to be of interest for him.
Not much we can do about the gun short of switching it for a +1 Big Boom Gun.
But the only effect it has on him is preventing the free draw from Ten Paces.
One of the Paizo developers just posted that an updated ZakZak is in the queue to be pushed out to the website (whatever that means). But he summarized the changes saying that ZakZak now has a goblin Spoon Gun instead of the Flingflenser, and has Toughness (for 3 extra hp), instead of Improved Initiative.
Here's the link for that post (scroll to the bottom for the developer info): Head Shot the Rot
Works for me. I'll make the changes.
re: Paizo Campaign Tools -- is this for Chrome or Firefox?
I use it on Chrome. Not sure about about Firefox, Edge, or other browsers.
Yeah, it's really nice. After your first post in any forum, it defaults to that alias for all your posts (Gameplay tab, Discussion tab, etc.)
Guys and gals -- At the top of the turn, our GM said that those in Bold may take their turns. If you're in bold, please just post. If you prefer to delay for someone else, that's fine. Just make your normal post and include an that you're delaying for so-and-so.
Otherwise, these melee encounters are gonna take forever.
P.S. Zindarel for these Paizo PbP games, it seems most folks use ooc and /ooc tags for OOC comments as opposed to double-parens. No big deal, of course. Just in case you didn't know about that tag. :)
I'm not entirely clear when I'm supposed to roll misfire on my gun. Presumably only if I critically miss.
Doc Featherton -- Solution is the shotgun. Problem is the dueling pistol w/ bayonet. You have the names reversed in the Gameplay thread.
I'm playing Doc Featherton so yes, I know that the feats are a bit confusing -- fun though :)
Ahhh, right you are! Thanks for that. I'll fix that going forward. And yes, it's kinda fun trying to maximize the action economy. It felt like I squeezed about 6-7 actions in that first round.
Ah MAP. That's what I get for only playing casters. I'll try to remember next time.
I thought misfires were just when you didn't clean the weapon once a day?
I think I'm missing a whole set of rules somewhere... or are they specific rules for the one-shot?
You're right about normal firearms, Booker. No worries about misfires if you clean it 1/day.
But some firearms (like ZakZak's Spoon Gun) have the cobbled trait.
"This firearm is cobbled together and likely to misfire. No matter how well you upkeep it, on a failed attack roll, the attack misses and you must roll a DC 5 flat check. If you fail this check, the weapon misfires."
Ahh, that makes sense.
What about the crit- head-shot? That sounds like something special for this scenario.
Oh yes!
While we're waiting for Reflex rolls, can Martelle give us any answers to the following questions: (Doc asked in-game, but it's back a few posts.)
How long has the zombie infestation been going on?
Was there an event that started it?
Are they out at the same time every day, or is it a constant roaming-the-streets thing?
Just trying to gather a little background, while we're waiting for rolls.
Players ... pretty sure we don't have to roll to get across this short distance. We should all be able to Leap 10' horizontal without a roll. Doc tried it, and the GM allowed it, so ....
yeah, just waiting for hte window to get unlocked, figure the ledge might get a bit full otherwise.
+1 Piercing Wind might be enough of an upgrade for ZakZak to borrow it.
It uses real ammo instead of silverware, holds 10? shots instead of 1, Has range 40 instead of 30. And of course it isn't Cobbled so no rolling malfunction on every miss.
Only downside is it does piercing damage instead of slashing so 1 less damage.
Oh and no scatter damage which could go either way.
The silverware thing is pretty amusing. But if you hit/crit more often with the +1 weapon, might be worth it. No scatter probably helps if Booker is in melee.
The spoongun is also +1 so that's a wash. But I don't think Piercing Wind is really an upgrade for anyone else.
Scatter I think can be handy, especially if the zombies have vulnerability to the damage type.
Speaking of which, have we determined if these do have any particular vulnerabilities yet?
It's amusing that the scenario is offering a Religion check to recall knowledge here, yet none of the characters are trained in it. Thinking the author missed out on an opportunity. :)
On the combat map, White (inside) and Orange (outside) should be removed, yes? Just wanna make sure Booker knows who's left if he's looking at the map and not the combat tracker.
