[GDXII] PF2e 05-01: Intro - Year of Unfettered Exploration (P1) (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.

Howdy, folks. I've been waiting years to make this PC. First time playing a Strix, Undine, or Kineticist, so apologies if I get stuff wrong.

I'm fine with splash damage unless it would make me unconscious or advance my Dying condition.

GM, I'd like to use a custom token, >Here<.

Here's Starflight, a wishborn poppet wizard with the Flexible Spellcaster Dedication.

Have three glyphs to hand out.

RPG Chronicles link in the header doesn't work.

Hi All! I'm joining with my orc Lorch, she's a fighter/barrister, so when negotiations break down she can still win arguments through violence.

I don't often use the forums but I'll make sure to check it daily and will try to get all my info in here sometime soon.

I'm surprised to see you here, ogrenoah... :)

I can always ping you on FtP if you lag behind :)

1. I also have 3 GM glyphs for extra Hero Points, so everyone should be able to start with 2.

2. Seconding that the RPG Chronicles link is inactive.

3. No other notes on Bechamel other than he likes eating, so if we kill anything edible, he'll want to save it.

Oh, and Bechamel doesn't mind a little splash damage, but he's a ranged combatant, so if there's an enemy adjacent to him, he's in trouble for unrelated reasons. :)

That explains why the form is still blank. Fixed... :)

2 poppets?! this'll be fun... and I think the intellectual discussion will get even more interesting when Prof Bun Bun joins us...

Assuming the player list doesn't change, Cirri will need a Level Bump:

HIGH TIER LEVEL BUMPS

To provide low level players a more fun and fair experience, PCs whose level equals the adventure’s base level (such as a 3rd-level PC playing in a Level 3–6 scenario) gain a temporary boost when playing in the higher level range called a level bump to represent the higher-level PCs’ mentorship and support.

Increase every DC the PC has by 1.
Increase the attack modifiers, attack damage, spell damage, saving throw modifiers, skill modifiers, Perception modifiers, and AC of the PC by 1.
Increase the Hit Point totals of the PC by 10 or by 10%, whichever is higher.

These adjustments are less beneficial than gaining a level, yet they provide the PC more survivability and opportunity to contribute to the adventure experience, reducing the degree to which higher-level PCs might overshadow these less experienced Pathfinders.

You should also remind higher level PCs to apply any mentor boons they might have purchased.

Apply the relevant adjustments to the PC's animal companions, eidolons, and familiars as well. If a value is already increased by applying the adjustment to a PC (such as a familiar's save modifiers and AC), do not increase the value a second time.

Cirri will also qualify for up to 2 Mentor Boons.

Oh hey, level bump.

Increase every DC the PC has by 1. - Class DC is 18, although I don't have any abilities that use my Class DC.

Increase the attack modifiers, attack damage, spell damage, saving throw modifiers, skill modifiers, Perception modifiers, and AC of the PC by 1.

Increase the Hit Point totals of the PC by 10 or by 10%, whichever is higher. - HP is now 30.

If you have any mentor boosts, please name them so I can choose 2 more benefits. :)

By the way, one of my impulses is >Four Winds<, which I can use to give you a free Stride action up to half your speed.

If you want me to move you somewhere and you're within 30 feet of me, you can:
- Draw an arrow on the slides to indicate where you want to go
- Delay your turn until mine so I can push you before you act

I'll see if Starlight qualifies for mentor boons.

Bechamel will get the Horizon Hunter mentor boon if he has enough Reputation. I need to do some accounting.

My internet and power are finally returned! I'll post an intro tonight hopefully.

almost wish I could play this one since Professor Bun Bun's here! :)

Waiting for the following:

Macros - Lorch
RPG Chronicles - Bechamel

RPGChronicles filled out.

I forget whether I said I had intended to play this over the weekend (at a F2F convention), but I ended up not. This will be my first time playing.

Macros filled out, though not much going on over here smarts-wise.

Might have a slight delay with posting tomorrow. Gonna spend the day in the hospital with my dad.

Just curious, is Dacilane pronounced with a soft 'c' or a hard 'c'? If the former, then Bun Bun's missing one lisp :)

I have always pronounced it Dak-i-lane.

Whereas I always pronounced in as a soft c - Da-sea-lane.

I played #4-16 (Dacilane Academy's First Great Prank War) F2F, and we had a similar question about its pronounciation.

Two players, including me, had never heard it pronounced before, so we shrugged and let other people argue.

Our GM pronounced it DAY-see-lane (long a, soft c). The two other players pronounced it DAH-see-lane (short a, soft c), saying their previous GMs had pronounced it that way.

The VC came over and insisted that it was dah-see-LAH-nee.

My compromise suggestion of calling it the "Big D" was quickly shot down.

I thought it was only one character who should roll the dice and not the entire party. Should we all roll?

I forgot how to do the dice there. Fixed though.

I thought it was only one character who should roll the dice and not the entire party. Should we all roll?

It actually is one character. Sorry. Misread the text.

>Four Winds<

If you are within 30 feet of me, I can use my actions to let you Stride half of your speed for free. I can choose up to 4 people.

If you want the speed boost and you are close enough to me, please indicate as much.

We've got three places to go to, correct?

I'll post an update tomorrow.

Squawk.

squawk yourself! :)

frankly, watching the roleplay with Professor Bun Bun is just as entertaining as the adventure itself! :)

I think the GM is on a work-related trip. Hopefully he'll be back in a few days.

I'm loving the banter, btw.

Pardon the delay. Arrived Bangkok today and I'm dead on my feet. I'll try to post an update tomorrow morning my time... I also rolled a Nat 1 on my Intelligence check as I misread my plane ticket and showed up to the airport 6 hours early...

Pretty sure that's the normal time to arrive at the airport (if you're a dad).

LOL. Nope, actually. I'll post an update tomorrow. 7.30 am flight from Bangkok, have to be at the airport 4:30 (fun)...

You, great traveler. By the way, I inform you already that I’ll be also traveling next week. Not so far away as Bangkok.

But so perhaps my post rate could suffer a bit even if I am supposed to have wifi.

Heads up I'll be mostly unavailable until sunday night.

btw, as we're most of the way through the scenario, if you'd like your Downtimes included in your chronicles, go ahead and roll them.

Lore: Sailing: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Cirri blabbers on rather than tighten her grip and a crosswind pulls the rope holding the mast out of her hands. The crew manages to save this, but it's docked from her pay.

Starlight investigates the heavens.
lore: astronomy: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

PFS Lore: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

performance, earn income: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18

success 2.4 gold

Crafting: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

Cooking Lore: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25 vs DC 15
Crit Success, 3 sp x 8 days = 2.4 gp

lore:undead: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

I am in a hurry having a flight to take today. I can play tomorrow.

Sorry for that.

Are any of the sharks currently visible?
