A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for Levels 1–5.

Tasked with escorting a group of goblin prisoners from their camp to civilization for interrogation by the Pathfinder Society, you must protect them not only from the beasts and hazards of the wilderness, but themselves.

Tactics:

=================================================
TACTICS
=================================================
Nel’setsya will implant the False Flanker trick on anyone with the sneak attack class feature each day. With any leftover trick she will implant the Chain of Eyes trick on the party scout or if the party has none, the obvious front-line member of the party.

In combat, she will first impose her Hypnotic Stare on obvious brutish enemies and attempt to cast lullaby or sleep (or both, if situation allows).

In other situations, she will use Ventriloquism and/or Ghost Sound in combination with her Sound Mimicry ability in order to confuse, disorient or delay the enemy (or for fun purposes, in social situations).

I do have lower level characters if you want to play low-tier

The Exchange

Signing up my ninja for the moment to complete the set of levels on RPG Chronicles. Got characters at levels 1-2 if we end up wanting low subtier.

3) Character Class & Level: Ninja 4
4) Faction: The Exchange
5) Day Job (with roll): Craft (Painting): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14

7) Fast or slow track: Fast
8) Have you played or GM'd this scenario before? No
9) Anything unusual or fun about your PC that you think the GM or other players may like to know? Just let me know if you want me to turn off her "gnomish accegnt".

Liberty's Edge

If this ends up being the higher tier, I'll have to drop out. I feel it would be too risky for a lvl1.

Grand Lodge

Lol, I forgot to post with the character's alias, so here it is.

Grand Archive

I was hoping to provide a scenario new players could paly to get started in the society. I noticed a couple of you volunteered that you had other characters you could play to bring the sub-tier down. Would that be acceptable?

I want people to play the characters they want, but I also want to give new players an opportunity to get started.

The Exchange

Got a level 1 monk, level 2 unchained rogue or level 3 wizard I can use.

Grand Archive

The Guild Guide states that parties of six or seven must play the High subtier if the APL is between subtiers.

6 players x APL 2.5 to get to low tier = 15 levels. Any higher APL gets rounded to APL 3 and high tier

We currently have
1+3+5+2+5+4=20 levels for 6 players APL=3.333

If the level 4 Ninja drops to level 1
1+3+5+2+5+1=17 for 6 players APL=2.8333

Grand Lodge

too bad this isn't replayable

Grand Lodge

I wouldn't worry about playing lvl 1, as this is a sizable group and even in my first ever 3.0 game, I was level 1 in a level 5 party and I did fine.


No problem for me to switch characters, I have several level 1-3.

If need arise I can create a new character for party balance (if we need a rogue, a wizard or something else)

Here what I have, by level
L1 Warpriest, Brawler, Cavalier, Druid (Druid & Warpriest to finalize)
L2 Swashbuckler, Skald/Bloodrager
L3 Cleric, Bloodrager

Liberty's Edge

Theoretically, I may have level 1 and 3 characters, they are already at the end of their adventures - but right now they are not free yet.

Liberty's Edge

Thank you. That would really help me out. I just needed 1xp to level her up. I have a bunch of chronicles already waiting for her to be applied.

The Concordance

I can switch my level 3 mesmerist to any of the following:

medium 2
occultist 2
witch 2
cleric 1
inquisitor 1

We can start as soon as everyone has finalized characters and updated the RPGChronicles page. If anyone has problems editing the characters they entered, let me know and I will update the information.

Replacing Nel with the following PC if tier still needs to be lowered:

2) PFS#-Character#: 4456-21
3) Character Class & Level: Medium 2 (melee type)

It seems that my level 1 melee cleric will be released very soon, since the Special ended with the victory of the pathfinders .)

RPG Chronicles currently has
Gnagnatsu♥the♥Gnignja
Ninja Lvl: 4

Beryx Zinder
Hunter Lvl: 5

Isandra
Cleric Lvl: 1

Naomi Hiddenleaf
src/mnk Lvl: 2

Kaidynn
Medium Lvl: 2

Beleg Strongbow
Slayer Lvl: 2

Which gives us 16 character levels for 6 players, which is just barely over APL 2.5, which we can round down

Sovereign Court

Gnagnatsu will swap out, which definitely gets us under.

1) Character name: Egavreis
2) PFS#-Character#: 312045-10
3) Character Class & Level: Unchained Rogue 2
4) Faction: Sovereign Court
5) Day Job (with roll): Knowlegde (Nobility): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
6) Any other downtime activities: Rising Star boon
7) Fast or slow track: Fast
8) Have you played or GM'd this scenario before? No
9) Anything unusual or fun about your PC that you think the GM or other players may like to know? Negative Energy Affinity - please only heal with items he provides

Grand Lodge

Beryx is out, Khon'Ur instead of him.

1) Character name: ‘Eκάτη
2) PFS#-Character#: 342384-8
3) Character Class & Level: Сleric 1
4) Faction: Grand Lodge
5) Day Job (with roll): -
6) Any other downtime activities: -
7) Fast or slow track: Fast
8) Have you played or GM'd this scenario before? No
9) Anything unusual or fun about your PC that you think the GM or other players may like to know?

Khon'Ur is a cleric of a deity who... was my former character too. There is a way to achieve divinity by a character in PFS and then to make 'legal priests' of this new deity. His goddess, Chandrabha, is a chaotic neutral deity with domains of Chaos, Destruction and War (subdomains Blood, Catastrophe, Demon, Insect, Tactics). She loves snakes, insects, martial skills and victory through grappling and choking.

@GM: can you please start the gameplay thread so that we can receive notifications for new posts? Thx!

How do you achieve this?

I'm curious as well.

We are definitely at low tier now. It looks like someone may have dropped? Or just removed their character from the sign-in sheet? I'm nit sure if that is a drop or not. Either way, I'll post the intro and see who actually plays.

Grand Lodge

PM me, I'll tell you where to look for this boon. Just keep in mind - this is a spoiler that reduces the amount of fun from the scenario (the "wow, whoaaa, (s)he what?!" effect) and you need a 12+ level PFS character.

Correct. Such spoilers are definitely not encouraged, especially from Seeker-level scenarios that completely can go one way or the other depending on character choice.

Sovereign Court

I have run the scenario that grants that option, and one of the characters took it.

Sovereign Court

Same here. Only one of the PC did it but had no idea what would happen. It was a glorious PFS moment.
