Game Master Tyranius

Please fill out the following items Macros and Tactical Map link above and the RPG Chronicles link below. I will not start until all three are filled out.

RPG Chronicles

Three glyphs to share, though Fran starts with 2 hero points because of a boon from 01-19.

Done. One Glyph.

Done! No glyphs to share (yet).

Ida needs a better character sheet. I haven't played her in pbp.

Thanks for checking in everyone! Looks like we will be High Tier at 24 CP. This means that Krazza will get a level bump!

Oh neat, I looked it up. Did you want me to add the bonuses to my stat-line and profile?

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.

Oh hey. Ida only has 19 XP, but she got some bonus Reputation for her faction from one of those scenarios so she still qualifies for a Mentor Boon. I should download it.

Ida is now a Skillful Mentor.
If you choose her as a mentor the Level Bump to skill checks becomes +2.

@Krazza- Yes and also add it to the Macros if you could. You also get the choice of two Mentor Boons if the other players have them.

Fran should have Protective Mentor.

Protective Mentor
While working with less experienced Pathfinder allies, you shield your more fragile wards from the threat of death. For any PCs benefiting from a Level Bump and whose levels are lower than yours, you increase their current and maximum Hit Points by an additional amount equal to 3 times your Radiant Oath reputation tier (Liked = 1, Admired = 2, Revered = 3).

Normal A Level Bump increases a PC’s Hit Points by 10% or 10, whichever is higher.

Special A PC can only benefit from two mentor boons.

+3 additional hp on top of the 10 or 10% IIRC.

GM, Fran recently got Swaggering Initiative. (+2 Init + Draw weapon as a free action). I've made the change to the macros...

For mentor boons, Pooka has Rugged Mentor from the Horizon Hunters:

While working with less experienced Pathfinder allies, you provide important insights that keep your less experienced colleagues safe from harm. For any PCs benefiting from a Level Bump and whose levels are lower than yours, you increase the Level Bump’s modifier to saving throws to 2.

Ida needs a better character sheet. I haven't played her in pbp.

Oh, I never did this. Well, that's next on my list then.

I almost messed this up.

I went to an in person convention this weekend and almost played this scenario. Good thing the time crunch meant that I played a bounty, instead.

I will take Protective and Skillful mentorship.

I have almost done that before as well Ulfgar. You sign up well ahead of time and forget what all you are signed up for!

Don't forget to account for Inspire Courage on your attack & damage rolls :)

oops... what she said, GM :)

Just a heads up -- I'll be spending the day tomorrow with my dad in the hospital so there will be delays with posting (those of you who have tried, doing this on a tablet's no fun)... :)

Looks like we cross-posted GM; Pooka's latest combat post is right above your latest update post!

Sounds good I will update.

Just a heads up -- I'll be spending the day tomorrow with my dad in the hospital so there will be delays with posting (those of you who have tried, doing this on a tablet's no fun)... :)

How're things going with your dad?

He's doing better. Hopefully he'll be out of the hospital soon. Thanks for asking :)

Glad to hear that! Take all the time you need we will be here.

As a parent, I'm imagining living in Absalom and my kid bringing home a permission slip for a field trip to the Blakros Museum.

I believe I would burn it.

Except it would probably be cursed and that would release some demon or spirit or lich that had been imprisoned for 1,000 years.

Can you verify the Battlemap link, please?

There is no map for this encounter as you are passing through obstacles.

There is no map for this encounter as you are passing through obstacles.

I’m sorry, I’m not sure how we’re meant to proceed at this point. Fran is taking the time to help that one guy. Do the rest of us just declare that we’re moving toward the museum?

I think we're still attempting to get through the panicked crowd and get into the museum, so it's probably another round of checks to make progress against the crowd and/or actions taken to help the trampled guy.

You are through the panicked crowd. Will move forward to the next obstacle once this one (The trampled man) is dealt with. This obstacle only needs 1 person to clear it.

Tomorrow I am leaving for a Dizzying World of dwarves, witches, princesses, fairies, pirates and flying elephants, so this will probably be my last post until at least next Wednesday.

Ulfgar's process is a bit complex, but I'll keep it simple. He'll hunt prey any time he doesn't have one, then.

I removed the "[" from those dice expressions.

If the scenario ends before I get back, Thank you Tyranius for running and I really enjoyed playing with this group.

You're going to Disney? Which one?

You're going to Disney? Which one?

World.

Pooka - Shield is a one-action spell. Do you want to take the other action?

Pooka originally Inspired Courage and wanted to attempt two RK checks but wasn't close enough to get a visual on the bad guys. So she kept the Inspire Courage action and instead opted to Stride and cast Shield :)

Below are your chronicles. Please look them over for any errors so I can correct them right away.

Chronicles

Performance: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

Fran dances and garners raucous applause.

Chronicle looks good! Thanks GM and thanks for a great game all!

Thank you for running!

Good game everyone! :-)

My chronicle looks good! Thanks for the great game everyone, it was a lot of fun :D

Looks really good! Thanks for protecting Krazza in there. He had fun hanging with some more seasoned Pathfinders.

Thank you to GM and players alike!

Crafting: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

Looks good, thank you!

Mine looks good! Thanks for the game and the fun group. Since Ulfgar didn't say a single word, I count this one as a victory!

Ulfgar spends some time helping their kobold allies find a new home.

Scouting Lore: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
