[ACO] PF2e B10 - Hillcross Roundup (P8) (Inactive)

Game Master UncleFroggy

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.

Penelope is all about self-sacrifice, so incurring the occasional splash damage just adds to her self-worth.

I'm just finalizing the build, and should have it up during the (Europe) evening. I anyone has recommendations for a character generator, I'd be keen to know. I'm trying out pathbuilder, but it doesn't have all the PFS options (e.g. legacy backgrounds), so I'll have to manually modify a lot of stuff.

Full disclosure: this is my first PFS2E game. Please bear with me as I make all the mistakes. 'Nwby bingo' cards are available on request.

I come bearing 3 glyphs!

Should have the profile up soon. Still debating if this is the name I want to go with. Keep flip-flopping between Barker and Barkley.

I should have everything put together within the next few hours.

Do you have room for a new player named Ramlatus?

I just signed up on RPGChronicles, but I see you posted that before I did.

I will withdraw for Ramlatus if necessary (which I suspect it is).

I was not sure there was space still, as the RPG Chronicle is missing a spot and I haven't signed in yet!

Having done that before as a GM myself, I suspect there's a missing spot because you hadn't signed in. To make sure nobody claimed the last spot that was already reserved.

I was not sure there was space still, as the RPG Chronicle is missing a spot and I haven't signed in yet!

The missing spot in RPG Chronicles is so that nobody takes the seat I've saved for you.

Josef - you'll have a free seat at the next B10 I run.

Bitty Blue, go ahead and sign in to RPG Chronicles.

Done with Macros and Slides, and I have 1 glyph to share.

Josef, you're back in the game. Ramlatus said that he wanted to concentrate on getting his kobold ready for Outpost and your game then start another adventure.

Hmm

Norbwald can get splashed as appropriate.

I have 3 glyphs and a campaign coin. (Since bounty's are Adventure mode GMs discretion if they do anything.)

Bitty also has 3 glyphs. Woot!

Norbwald, when you get the chance, please complete the Macros.

All done.

Couple notes: Norbwald has Dubious knowledge: When you fail (but don't critically fail) a Recall Knowledge check using any skill, you learn a bit of true knowledge and a bit of erroneous knowledge, but you don't have any way to differentiate which is which.

As a Thaumaturge Norbwald is trained in Esoteric Lore "a special lore skill that can be used to Recall Knowledge regarding haunts, curses, and creatures of any type"

Norbwald also has the class feat Diverse Lore that extends the RK to all topics, but at a -2 for other topics, and gives him a free recall knowledge when he exploits vulnerability on monsters.

Finally, Norbwald is a Gnomish Skeleton with As in Life, So in Death which says as long as I'm completely clothed or armored I don't need to make checks to pretend to be a gnome.

Sorry for all the complications, I've been in the weird phase of my character design for awhile (See: Squish)

hey, I actually like Squish... :)

Squish is fantastic, just... weird.

Your character concept is gloriously meta.

Is anyone planning to use their current character for Outpost? If so, I'll be a bit more aggressive with botting (though I think we can get through this one pretty quick).

I don’t need this character for Outpost VI.

Nor I.

Sybille is not signed up for any games for Outpost.

I have no plans beyond this game, this is just a testing the waters for me.

Penelope is a continuation of a PFS1 character. In PFS1, she was a proud paladin, but it looks like in the meantime something... changed her.

Norbwald is awesome , by the way...

Norbwald has no plans to play in outpost.

Bitty has no plans to play in OutPost.

So Norbwald isn't telling us he's undead?
(Although he did sort of say it...)

Norbwald is still a bit in denial about his own condition. I imagine it's the sort of thing he doesn't announce but becomes obvious to his companions after any amount of time.

So I like to imagine it as he hasn't told you, but you know.

Also, Paizo seems to be a bit more screwy thank normal for post displaying and such today. Hopefully it's because the servers are busy with treasure vault sales. (See my slightly out of order gameplaypost)

slight delay in updates. Major creditor visiting so I gotta schmooze with them... Paying the bills seems important for some reason ;)

Penelope, your second attack will be affected by MAP, Multi-Attack Penalty. So that second attack will be at -5 for a 19. I'm only mentioning it because you're new to PF2.

That's really helpful, thanks. Also, you can cross off 'player forgets multi-attack penalty' from your bingo card.

Everyone does it the first time they play PF2. I suspect that you still hit with that second strike.

Incidently, MAP means that a lot of people plan other things for their 3rd action - moving, intimidating, shield-raising...

It is the reason that some martials take Assurance with Athletics.

If you have a lesser opponent nearby, you could use your third action to trip someone using assurance. It most likely wouldn’t work against Glorzia, but it might against the tiny dinosaurs.

The trick is although the trip attempt is affected by MAP, assurance doesn’t apply any penalties. Even if it is your third attack at -10, you still get your assurance value.

Others look at what skills they can use that aren’t affected by MAP, such as Intimidate to Demoralize.

Don’t worry about missing it. I still occasionally forget.

The game has been reported and chronicles emailed out. If you don't see your emailed chronicles please check your spam folder (thanks Google algorithms). Please mark it as not spam and whitelist RPGChronicles.net to help prevent this in the future.

Received, thank you--and not in spam.

At first level Josef doesn't have that many prepared spells anyway, but it's why I'm planning on avoiding attack roll spells with him. Even as a cloistered cleric he does get the one martial weapon proficiency, and he's using it.

His attack bonus isn't fantastic, but it's better than most martial characters' second attack so it's not nothing. In rounds where he doesn't have to move (or has to move twice and so can't cast a spell anyway, which is the one that came up here), getting a shot in is just a bonus for him--as long as he doesn't cast a spell that uses an attack roll and increases MAP.

Got it, and it's looking good. Thanks a lot for running!

Thanks for running, GM Tiger!

Thanks to all the players too, it was lots of fun! Hope to play with you another time.

Chronicle received for a Gold Star Run!

Chronicle looks good. Thank you so much for running the game.
