Completed all 3 things! Thanks!
Excited to play, will make a full and proper introduction IC when we start, but OOC Zenith is a lvl 7 swashbuckler (gymnast) with the champion dedication. They have both lay on hands and the liberator's champion reaction(liberating step). In combat they tend to try to grapple/trip fairly frequently to help debuff enemies. They also primarily use a returning starknife and can attack from range if needed, though generally they're in the frontline.

All done and profile page updated.
Luciola is a tiny light sprite and fey sorcerer who usually stays in the back and uses spells. She has a corgi mount. She also has wings and uses a spell to fly. If necessary, she can become halfling sized using another spell.
This character hasn't been played often but has the entire Shattered Sanctuaries arcs GM credited.

For Part 1 we will have a choice between missions. If you each could give your preferred order it will help me go through this. Otherwise I will go in order.
Travel Event 1: Forest Campsite | Combat
Travel Event 2: Missing Agents | Skills or Combat
Travel Event 3: Friends or Foes | Social Skills
Travel Event 4: Navigating the Overgrowth | Navigation
Travel Event 5: Breaking Through | Skill Challenge

Sounds good on Continual Recovery + Ward Medic + Lay on Hands. I will then handwave most of the out of combat healing unless we are in an in game time crunch and I will let you know.
@Lociala- I don't generally count spell slots for out of combat healing since it is an ependable resource. I consider them more for in combat healing.

We will begin going into Part 2 soon. Please choose an order for the next set of missions so we can flow right into them.
Exploration Event 1: Have You Seen Something? | Investigation, Diplomacy
Exploration Event 2: Unnerving Omens | Combat
Exploration Event 3: Securing Sanctuary | Investigation, Skill Challenge
Exploration Event 4: On Patrol | Combat

The two conditions in affect are:
On the Path: The Pathfinders are moving quickly toward their destination of Folien, impeding the efforts of those who would try to surprise them. On their next combat encounter, PCs gain a +1 circumstance bonus to their initiative checks.
Expedient Travel: The Pathfinders have reached the town of Folien much quicker than expected, giving the PCs some extra time to gather defenses. Once during Part 2 when the PCs would take a 10-minute rest, they gain instead gain the benefits of a full night’s rest.

That was a lot of damage.
I only failed one saving throw, and have evasion to reduce damage on the reflex even further. Could you double check my damage is correct?
Otherwise... OUCH
Sure thing!
So you started that round with 61/88 hp
With a +13 Fort save your rolls were:
2+13 for a total of 15. (Crit Fail as the DC was 25 for 32 damage) 29/88
15+13 for a total of 28 (Success for 7 damage) 22/88
18+18 for a total of 36 ( crit success for 0 damage)
All of your reflex saves had evasion for 0 damage
End HP 22/88
Looks like I counted the last Fort save as a success rather than crit success so will update the tracker to give you back 7 hp.

There was also the prior round, Teja started combat with 88 hp, and was dealt 14 damage here and then had two saves. Which Teja passed so no damage w/ evasion, but it looks like 13 damage was assigned from successes since the next round started with 61 hp instead of 74 (88-14).
I think Teja should be getting another 13 hp back (since success+evasion those reflex saves) bringing total to 35 hp.

FWIW i do have my reaction and Lay on hands to help. We can also probably take care of the wolf this round which will help.

Yes, you are correct Zenith. Will correct the tracker with +20 HP
In a few days time we will flow into Part 3. Here are the choices for missions in Part 3.
Defense Event 1: Putrid Pests | Combat
Defense Event 2: Direct Defenses | Social Skills
Defense Event 3: Magical Protections | Ritual Assistance
Defense Event 4: Intercepting Supplies | Investigation

| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |
Think we really need to start using this:
Turning Tides: The Pathfinder forces have gained the advantage, and brave townsfolk are rushing to lend a hand. Each PC can roll twice and take the better result on a single attack roll, saving throw, or skill check. This is a fortune effect.

Moving gameplay discussion to Here.
First issue is Champ reaction is Resist All. "When an effect deals damage of multiple types and you have resistance to all damage, apply the resistance to each type of damage separately"(source, last sentence) This means that if the champ reaction would've been used then Makai would take no damage from that attack (and get 4 hp back).
Second issue is that the champ reaction and shield block have essentially the same trigger. And presumably Makai could've decided which one to benefit from. You do get to know the damage before applying shield block, so wanting to shield block an attack for 13 points of damage is pretty ideal to block with a hardness of 8.
Another minor issue is that if zenith's reaction was used on the first attack, then free step from zenith's reaction would have negated the 2nd attack in its entirety, but Makai would've had to have taken it, and that would be hard to retcon at this point.
Alternatively, if Makai's shield block was used on the first attack, then Zenith's champ reaction would have negated the following
18 physical -9 = 9 physical
10 evil - 9 = 1 evil
12 fire - 9 = 3 fire
to a total of 13 damage remaining against the critical.
Basically I see this could have resolved multiple different ways. With PbP advancing before the timing could be resolved then the current situation is most disadvantageous and I don't think that's how it would've resolved in a live game. These seem more likely:
- If Zenith's champ reaction was used first this would've negated all damage to makai from the brimorak (by directing reducing the first strike, and then makai stepping to avoid a 2nd attack).
- If Makai shield blocked the first attack then that would've been 5 points of damage from that attack, and zenith could react to the 2nd damage resulting in only 13 points of damage from the crit.
I don't have much opinion on it either way, but that is a lot of hp that could've been mitigated in either case
