Name: Warah
PFS Number: 289224-2001
Character Name: Nal Bagura
Class/Levels: Rogue/Sorcerer 3
Nal's #1 priority is keeping her people safe. She has Natural Medicine, so she uses Nature to Treat Wounds.
She also loves being sneaky, so she'll be quite grateful for an alchemical boost to her stealth. Thanks!

That would be Quicksilver Mutagen (Moderate).
I suspect this would be generally useful to anybody (but has a particular trap bonus): Eagle-Eye Elixir (Lesser).

Name Massee
PFS Number 202046-2002
Character Name Scratch Steeltoe
Class/Levels Gunslinger 4
Scratch is basically a survivalist sniper that enjoys the blowing things up. Vigilant Seal makes use of those skills.
Scratch is also focused on stealth and ranged attacks so if you've got quicksliver mutagens to spare he'd be glad to trade some skunk jerky, or he can also make lowly lvl 1 bombs... ooo, his explosives handiwork pairs well with someone making higher level bombs too.

Do you happen to have moderate alchemist fire? I don't think those other two would affect inanimate objects. I guess I haven't read up super closely on what works on wood/stone in 2e.
I've got all of the bombs. Is this special known for dealing with inanimate objects?
Also, Scratch would love to rummage through your formula book for moderate formulas for bombs after things.
Yup, Elsha has all formulas available up to his level (well, I haven't checked the last book or two).
You can definitely go through his book and copy recipes. Only problem with this is that there aren't really rules about cost. AFAICT, you can do the copy and won't even spend sp on it, and there's nothing stopping you from copying recipes that require chronicle sheets. So the last time I did copying during a PFS game, the GM allowed copying of non-common recipes (energy mutagen).

Scratch's feat makes him a limited crafter of alchemical goodies:
Munitions Crafter: Bullets and bombs can be scarce in some parts, so you've learned to make your own. You become trained in Crafting and gain the alchemist's infused reagents class feature, gaining a number of reagents each day equal to your level. You also gain the Alchemical Crafting feat and four additional formulas for 1st-level alchemical items. You gain infused reagents (a pool of reagents usable to make alchemical items) and advanced alchemy (allowing you to make alchemical items during your daily preparations without the normal cost or time expenditure). You gain batches of infused reagents per day equal to your level, which you can use to create only bombs or alchemical ammunition. Your advanced alchemy level for creating these is 1 and doesn't increase on its own. If you use a batch of infused reagents to create basic level-0 ammunition such as black powder cartridges or black powder doses, you produce 10 rounds of ammunition.
He uses that to power these, mostly RP fun, but could certainly be put to fun uses:
◆◆ Set Explosives: (concentrate) Requirements You have 1 or 2 bombs in hand; Effect You attach the bombs to an inanimate object within your reach, such as a door, wall, or column, and rig them to detonate at a set time. The bombs explode at a specific time you determine (such as after your next action or at the start of your next turn, to a maximum of 1 minute), dealing their damage and splash damage to the inanimate object. Combine this damage for the purpose of resistances and weaknesses, and this damage ignores an amount of the object's Hardness equal to your level. Any creatures adjacent to the hazard take the bombs' splash damage, also combined for the purpose of resistances and weaknesses. As a reminder, since you didn't throw the bombs, Calculated Splash and similar effects don't apply. Making sure your timing is correct requires concentration, so you can't Set Explosives again while you're waiting for a previously set bomb to detonate. Special You can't select another dedication feat until you've gained two other feats from the demolitionist archetype.
Demolition Charge:
You can rig your bombs to inanimate objects in order to cause destruction to the surrounding area. As an activity that takes 1 minute, you attach between one and four bombs to an inanimate object within your reach, such as a chest, door, wall, or column. This creates a hazard in one square occupied by or adjacent to the inanimate object, and the hazard's Stealth DC to detect it and Thievery DC to disable it are equal to your class DC. The hazard has the following reaction, which you can also trigger as a single action so long as you are within 30 feet of the hazard. The hazard retains its potency until it's triggered, until the inanimate object moves from its space, or until you make your next daily preparations, whichever comes first.
↺ Fire in the Hole; Trigger: A creature moves into the hazard's space; Effect The hazard explodes, dealing the bombs' damage and splash damage to the inanimate object. Combine this damage for the purpose of resistances and weaknesses, and this damage ignores an amount of the object's Hardness equal to your level. Any creatures adjacent to the hazard take the bombs' splash damage, similarly combined for the purpose of resistances and weaknesses. As a reminder, since you didn't throw the bombs, Calculated Splash and similar effects don't apply.

BAH! After looking further at the legal options from Guns and Gears, basically the whole book is PFS legal other than Demolitionist! I guess I better rebuild Scratch again.. I burned the AcP to rebuild him from Ranger to Gunslinger. This will be his first mission reborn.
Looks like I misread, demolitionist is accessible for the following:
Characters with a Home Region of Alkenstar, Dongun Hold, or the Shackles have access to all black powder guns, ammunition and related accessories; and all archetypes from Chapter 3 with the exception of beast gunner, fireworks technician, and spellshot.
**The other home regions don't have access.
In anticipation of the BEGINNING of the game, please click on the 3-99 slide link and fill in the relevant information and tokens, please!
Hey Massee, I get really bothered by the sort of casual sexism in your most recent post and find it inappropriate for a publicly facing PFS game.

Yes! Sorry, switching between 1st ed and 2nd has gotten me all wired. Yes, everyone starts with 1 Hero Point. I think I'll grant Scratch a second one for obliterating the poor suit of armor.

From Tues. Jan. 25th to Feb. 4th, we'll be getting major electrical work done on our home. They have a plan in place to maintain our internet access, but you never know how these things will go. Feel free to bot me if you don't hear from me in 24 hours. As Elsha is my better half, he'll be in the same boat.
No, you have learned all you may learn!

No, that was another site. A half-elf botanist and a human sneak wandered down a trapped hallway. They found the traps, and the human sneak was killed by fire creatures.

Franzine: I just noticed you're using a sturdy shield. Used it for very long? How well are you finding the increased hardness and BT for keeping it from breaking very quickly? Do many of the blocks still have some damage come through? I have a dwarven shield fighter that is nearly rich enough to purchase one.
|
It is awesome! Only had it since a scenario before this current scenario. I've barely needed to use it to block and I think it's only taken one hit so far that beat the hardness by a point or two. It's going to be the next item I turn into +1 striking due to its use as a bludgeoning weapon.
Also, from what I read in the past, I can upgrade it to a lesser sturdy shield at 7th level by only paying the difference. (Correct me if I'm wrong, though).

Regarding Scratch's boomstick with the fatal trait:
Fatal is pretty hardcore. I played the elven sniper in Headshot the Rot and was taken aback by the amount of damage the Fatal trait did. Some people get it confused with the deadly trait. Fatal is much worse.
Fatal
Source Core Rulebook pg. 282 2.0
The fatal trait includes a die size. On a critical hit, the weapon’s damage die increases to that die size instead of the normal die size, and the weapon adds one additional damage die of the listed size.
|
|
Ya, you may have been in head shot with me as Booker, but I'm not 100% sure.
Fatal is very mean, especially on any class that has a faster than normal weapon proficiency, like gunslingers and fighters. Many crits, more than outweighs the lost reload action.
--
Regarding the shield, glad to hear its working out well. I haven't looked into upgrading costs to better versions. Are you going to make the shield +1 striking or a shield boss/spike? A slight jump up in damage die.
|
|
Doubling actually works better in PbP because the player doesn't know if they crit via +10. By rolling the weapon damage, you're requiring the GM to look at which damage apply if there is no crit.
By rolling your dice normally, and then simply adding a line for the extra dice (Fatal/deadly) in case of the crit, the math would be easier.
+1 Concussive? Is there a feat that gives a gunslinger +1 damage on Concussive? The trait doesn't appear to grant it, so that's why I was confused. Oh wait...you mean Kickback. Okay, got it.

Yep! I have specified at the bottom of each of my combat posts the instructions for using Glimpse of Redemption or Reactive Shield.
It's all here in beginning & end of post.
So, yes, Glimpse of Redemption goes off when Azu is attacked.
Unfortunately yes, you must start the process all over again!
