I'll choose 2 (which will send me to the max of 3).
Also my home PC decided to get the Dying 4 condition last Friday. I forgot Farol was in this game as well as I asked him to please tell the tables I'm in... I'm at work now and I'll be catching up...
From other games, I know Beggar So is having some computer issues. I'll move us along if he doesn't post soon.
So sorry for that. Slipped my mind.
Yeah, I apologize, I set this up all wrong. I don't think you guys were supposed to sleep. I think you were just supposed to be awake all night (armored and awake).
Usually, when setting something up, I take the CR as a hint (hounds are 3, bugbear is 2 = 110 XP for Level 3, so adding dim light, most of the party starting asleep and unarmored would make this Severe or Extreme) but I was dumb and thought you were Level 4 (probably a holdover from Malevolence), so it wasn't until I started noting discrepancies in what I thought your ACs were versus your listed ACs that I realized I had your levels wrong.
It's fine. The bugbear was the leader, so knocking him out will send the "minions" running.
Buzz, any interest in the runestone? If not, Kzem's "I almost died" argument will hold the most water.
Hero point to the GM for that long conversation! :)
Guys- sorry for a late reply. I am sans internet until Sunday. I am sorry for the long delay
No problem.

Hero Point to Grimmylow for having a voice that is annoyingly prominent in my mind. :)
Oh, Grimmy, Ulfgar is up in our Q17.
Got it this morning.
In the future, I'd really appreciate it if all GM's can have the bad guys run straight to Ulfgar so he doesn't have to waste actions getting to them.

Where's the fun in that? :)
I have what may be an odd question:
How close are we to being finished?
I only ask because I've rebuilt Grimmylow on paper for my actual PFS character and I'm wondering if it's worth figuring out his 3rd level (since the PFS version is only 2nd) and actually making the changes to this profile.
To be clear, I'm having a blast with this game and these characters and the GM so I'm not hoping we're close.
We are approximately 2/3 of the way through. There's a little bit more in this chapter, and then there's a third chapter. The third chapter is shorter than the first two.
Excellent. More Troubles fun!
And an excuse to do my 3rd level rebuild.
I’m also having a blast with the adventure. Though I’ve been down with the flu since Thursday. If combat breaks out, go ahead and bot me.
Absolutely.
As a matter of fact, for entirely selfish reasons, I'd prefer that you do:
My -2001 character is an alchemist, and I've been waiting for the rebuild for quite some time. I'm planning on playing the character during Gameday, so I only have a few weeks to digest everything in PC2 after it comes out. :)
Basically, GMing Buzz is all the experience I'm likely to get before having to commit 12 levels of rebuild. hehe I'd love to hear your thought process as you rebuild.
The Alchemist, Remastered
So, the changes weren't as extensive as I thought they might be. (This is unfortunate, in my opinion.)
You'll get 4+INT (8) Advanced Alchemy items, and 2+INT (6) Versatile Vials. As a bomber, the versatile vials can be Quick Alchemied into bombs or they can be thrown for direct damage (not sure what that damage is or how it scales - I don't actually have PC2 yet, and AoN isn't updated, I'm just working off of Pathbuilder and Youtube videos). The versatile vials can be replenished at 2 per 10 minutes Exploration, so those are you cantrip-like resource.
Quick Bomber got a buff, so now it's 1 to Draw and Strike, or 1 to Quick Alchemy and Strike, so if you liked Quick Bomber Unremastered you'll like Quick Bomber Remastered.
The thing that will come into play is that Expanded Splash is no longer necessary at level 4 as a math fixer, opening up a class feat.
For my -2001, I ended up retraining a Wizard Dedication at Level 2 to Investigator, and picking up Devise at Level 4. A bunch of skill and general feats were shuffled around because I had selected them inefficiently on the way up, but that's about it. My rebuild was mostly pruning loose ends - I had purchased a ton of formulae (like poisons) hoping they'd be situationally useful, but it turns out that people don't like free poisons, so, whatever. I also bought a ton of backup bombs and elixirs because of the infused reagent shortage, but I could sell those all back.
So far, I've rebuilt Grimmylow, my dwarf ranger and my kholo witch.
Other than the spell casters getting a 1st level feat (which took me forever to confirm) there haven't been a lot of changes, honestly. Grimmylow gets more healing spells, which is nice and some of his spells are better, which is also nice, but it hasn't been a huge restructructuring.
I think my ranger is almost exactly the same except I used the opportunity to change up some of his skills.
The witch may have been the biggest change, but all it's done is make the familiars more useful (while also making them simpler) and made one of the hexes more effective.
Absolutely.

Is that what you're bringing to my 04-15?

Yep!
Hey guys, I start my in-person training for my new job on Monday. My posting rate will likely slow down, but I'll try to keep up.
can we use remaster rule mid-adventure? So one of So's feats was removed during the remaster so I'd need to choose another (that must be a record... using 'so' thrice in the same sentence!) :)
Hooray! We're all knights, now!
Assuming you don't let Grimmylow burn the keep down.
Can Grimmylow sanctify the keep to counter the unholiness?

You are not only free to, but encouraged to. All the Common cantrips, for instance, should be switched to the new damage, even if you're going to keep the old chassis, but I'd prefer to normalize everything around Remastered.
The drawback is ... I don't own any of the core books (PC1, PC2, GMC). I rely on Archives of Nethys, and that hasn't been updated with PC2 yet.
Can Grimmylow sanctify the keep to counter the unholiness?
Absolutely ... is that a ritual?
The loot sheet is updated. As a group, you've accumulated 326.9 gp of sellable stuff, or 65.38 gp per PC. Beggar So can "buy back" the belt of good health for 42.5 gp, Kzem can "buy back" the +1 striking weapon for 50 gp, and I have in my notes that Thorn already bought a +1 weapon rune for 30 gp (although it should have been 35).
There is also an unclaimed bracelet of dashing, available for 29 gp. If you "buy back" anything that was liquidated, please change the "Cash" column to 0, and put your character's name in the "Assigned" column. That will claim the item.
Please level up to 4, and update the Macros on the Macros page.
The only ritual I see that comes close is Consecrate. But it takes 2 secondary casters who also worship my deity.
So...I may have to bring in some help.
I see Grimmy and Kzem are updated. How is everyone else doing?
I'll get to it tonight. So So just needs to grab a different feat and the loot...
Checking in?
From the other thread:
Take your time, So. I've been pretty busy this past week, my wife is on a business trip so I'm solo with the kids. And then GameDay started two days before I thought it was going to start, which was a self-inflicted wound, but still, I'm playing catch up.
Almost there. Herolab is erroring out the Remastered transition so having to rebuild.
I know the feeling. It's not dying on So, but on another character... seems like the latest update doesn't like a few things...
Can't decide on a striking rune for my handwraps or a +1 rune for my staff... decisions decisions... So if I'm reading the loot sheet right, we each get 65 and change? Is that so? :)
You got 65.38 gp from Chapter 2, but you also got 35.02 gp from Chapter 1, plus whatever you had left over from character creation. It's possible you can get both. I don't have a record of what you purchased at the end of Chapter 1.
That's what I thought... Thanks. He'll get the +1 rune for the staff since it's the one he uses more often...
Cool. Waiting on Buzz.
btw, the MrBeast thing was hilarious...
Beggar So?
Kzem, I probably should have noticed this earlier, but can you check your AC?
AC = 10 + Trained (2) + Level (4) + DEX (1) + breastplate (4) = 21?

Sorry friends. It has been a long two weeks for me and most of my mental margin has gone to work. Long story short, I just turned in my notice at the job I have had for the last 14 years and am in the process of transitioning to a new job while trying to "leave well" and protect my sanity.
Hey mate, thanks for letting us know, and all the best on the path of changes!
Here's hoping the job change was because it was time to move to a better one and not because it was time to leave a bad one.
In either case, I hope the change is for the better.
