Hello! Welcome to my table. Before we start, please do the following:

Please complete the macros linked at the top of the page. This will be used for initiative and secret rolls.

Please also post your token to the slides and post your position in the marching order. The slides are also linked at the top of the page.

As per the Organized Play Foundation Community Standards, each player must decide if they will allow their characters to be damaged by friendly fire (usually via splash damage). In keeping with the “Explore, Report, Cooperate” motto of the Pathfinder Society, engaging in non-consensual character-versus-character conflict is prohibited. While accidental friendly fire happens due to missed attack rolls or other factors, players must obtain the consent of other players before deliberately including fellow PCs in damaging effects. This rule does not apply in situations where a character is not acting of their own free will, such as if they’re being mind-controlled by an NPC and forced to attack a fellow Pathfinder.

blub! Hiya Squish!

I realized I haven't yet played Squish at level 2, so I'm in the process of rebuilding them from a witch to a Psychic, should be done in the next couple of hours and I'll get Macros and slides filled out then.

No worries. There might be an issue with the last player -- not sure if they're going to drop or change characters.

Blub.

Interestingly enough none of the numbers changed. Same attributes, same skills and proficencies.

Now I'm casting occult spells instead of divine and that feels like an improvement. I don't have a familiar which I wasn't particurally fond of. I've got a couple improved cantrips and cool things to spend my 2 focus on and start with the double focus recovery.

It's obvious, but as a note I have both played and GMed this before.

Lande has the Scout dedication so you probably want him scouting as it doubles the bonus. Lande also has Pilgrim's Token so if he ties an enemy on initiative, Lande goes first.

After some consideration, I decided to bring Jong Sasaki instead of Zayo Pahtra. I updated RPGChronicles.

I also have 3 Glyphs for additional Hero Points

All filled out. I also have 3 Glyphs so we should all start with two. King Klearsaard is a basic warpriest for now but won't come online until level 2-4 so gotta work on getting him up there.

I think half the table has campaign coins as well.

I've got two glyphs to hand out. Bringing an investigator.

3 uhh Glyphs her...

Nevermind.

Just waiting for "The Professor" to complete the Macros and Slides.

Sorry about that - Done

GM Tiger, can you modify the Initiative column on your macros sheet to increase the scouting bonus to +2?

Unfortunately not. So scout bonus is now 2 (I'll just add it manually). I forgot about that feat. I've been meaning to take it but keep forgetting...

You just have to change the formula in column D.

=IF(
B2 <> "",
IF(
COUNTIF(
$C$2:$C$7,
"Scout"
),
1, <== Change this from 1 to 2.

) +
IF(
C2 = "Avoid Notice",
W2,
E2
),

)

Macros updated.

I am headed out on vacation for the weekend and will return Tuesday. I should have WI-FI in the cabin but will be pretty sparse. I should still be able to post each day but if need to speed up then by all means BOT me.

Have fun! Cabin? You going on a cruise or just out in the woods? :)

Just out into the woods.

Just a head's up - my internet at home is down so there will be a delay in updates. From my limited troubleshooting abilities, it appears there's a break in the cable as even the TV service is out :)

Might be a delay tomorrow - I have a major supplier visiting so I've got to entertain them tomorrow :)

I'll update this later. Just sneaking in a quick check of my games... :)

I'll post an update tomorrow. Long weekend here so I spent the day fishing... got me a 3kg catfish -- and I didn't have to fight off large crabs to get it! :)

I presume they are good eating - if they're anything like trout, they certainly are.

It's a bit of an acquired taste. Trout are delicious as well. :)

Jong -- I'm just going to assume that if the mission starts on a new day, you're going to cast Mage Armor as part of your daily preparations?

GM Tiger - You are correct. I went through a couple of adventures without casting it, and am trying to get in the habit of casting every day.

Cool. Just wanted to make sure in case we both forget... :)

The Doctor -- IIRC when you apply the mods for a Devise a Strategem, you apply your weapon expertise + level as well. It's pretty much like a normal attack roll. Your total mod should have been +8 (Int + Trained + Level) instead of just the +4.

I could be wrong but that's the way I was taught on how to do the Devise.

The GM wanted me to let you know he will be absent momentarily. He had a family emergency and had to rush off to the hospital.

True Strike ignores concealment.

Hope the emergency isn't too serious. And he's right. I forgot about all of that. That would have made the to hit 26. Be nice if that turned it into a crit after rolling all those ones for damage.

I’ll post the update when I get home later. Thankfully it’s not COVID.

I'm glad it is not COVID, but you should take care of yourself regardless of what it is.

I'll resume posting tomorrow. Need today to recover from being up for 24+ hours... though I had to make a Will Save and Intimidate check earlier today for some bothersome interns who tried to use my dad as an exercise for patient interview... Fortunately, I didn't have to make an attack roll with a bludgeoning weapon -- which would be followed by a Diplomacy check explaining to security why I clobbered them :)

btw, how is Initiative order affected when I person gets the dying condition from persistent damage? Does the person go before the creature that gave him the condition?

Dying

"You immediately move your initiative position to directly before the turn in which you were reduced to 0 HP.”

So your turn moves to... just before your turn. Maintains the main point to make sure you have a full round to get stabilized and don't miss/not miss actions based on where in the cycle you get healed.

So in this case, The Doctor's initiative position doesn't move, since he went to 0 on his turn? I always thought it was moved to before the creature that "killed you", which makes sense... :)

You're the first group to have trouble with these rats... the other 2 groups that played this didn't have that much trouble...

I've now rolled 8 DC 5 concealment checks and failed 6 of them.

I almost had to flee from these rats once before. If you're unlucky concealment can be really tough. See Dwarven example above.

Lande and Squish -- here's hoping that your unlucky concealment rolls don't carry over to the other game...

Speaking of concealment rolls, if I had another Hero Point, I'd reroll my last one. I feel like I wasted a crit.

Doctor, use my Campaign Coin.

Doctor, use my Campaign Coin.

You can hero point it if you wish, but it's not a crit.

Lol they are all around Kromrock... :)

oops...

Hero Points to both The Doctor and King Klearsaard

I thought I'd be moving away from a potential TPK with the wights... Last time I ran this I had parties almost get mashed by the zombos...
