how long before we level?
Very soon -- just need to know what your next steps are.

I've been trying to make sure that combat moves along smoothly, so hopefully everyone is okay with me botting them. I try to leave a couple of days, but let me know if you would prefer that I wait longer.
If you're okay with the botting, the only thing I ask is that you make sure your character sheets are up-to-date. Thanks!

Bunny has 17 hp.
I traded out frostbite for mind sliver and learned faerie fire as his new 1st level spell.
These are his invocations:
When you cast eldritch blast, add +3 to the damage it deals on a hit.

You can cast mage armor on yourself at will, without expending a spell slot or material components.

@DM no problem you hitting me. I know my posting has gotten to be pretty crappy.

Thankful to you for keeping this game moving. I admit I'm not as active as I could be... and will try to improve.
It's very hard to go back to the blurry 5e rules now that I'm experienced with Pathfinder 2e where almost all the judgement calls have been eliminated. Also, makes Leveling up a bit "Anti-climactic". :-)
Added HP and "Cunning Action" this level.
DM Paguroid |
no worries -- oh, btw, I sent you a DM.
Also, work's been busy for me, so I should also apologize for the slow posting. I'll put something up today.
DM Paguroid |
Yeah, I know several of you asked if this game could be PF2, but I just haven't had the time to learn it. I've played in a couple of drop-in sessions and really enjoyed it.
This is also my only D&D game, unless you count the old-school game that meets 1/month. It's my friend's design, but it's based on OSR rules like the white box and original 1970s' D&D rules. It's a lot of fun, but completely brutal -- chances of survival are very small. (It's HERE if you want to check it out, but since it's his own game, the 'rules' pretty minimal and are mainly reminders -- I think it would be tough to DM this game without having seen it in person.)
As mentioned, work's been pretty busy lately (not helped by the freelance work I took on). I'd like to try to know more about PF2 so I can run a game for this group -- that's assuming anyone is still around, as it might be a year before I can get to it!
DM Paguroid |
I would love that -- I've had some fun making characters, and as I said, played a couple of short sessions, but it would be awesome to do more.

I just ran the Lost on the Spirit Road module, which is a Tian Xia module. But I can do something else too. I have quite a few of the Pathfinder Society modules and quests.
DM Paguroid |
I was in a Strength of Thousands game -- I think we just made it through the first chapter before it fell apart. I don't have much hope that we'll come back to it, but that's the only adventure path that I know anything about.
DM Paguroid |
It would have to be new characters if it's PF2, but no reason you couldn't model a new character along the same lines.
Also, as long as people are still interested, I can keep going with this D&D 5e game.
Gideon Dawnbringer |
Yes. Keep it going. Didn't mean to imply I wouldn't continue this game... just making an observation that the weaknesses of 5e are more apparent as I learn more about Pathfinder 2e.
I'll continue to play 5e... just have no desire to ever run it again. :-).
Aeshuura |
1 person marked this as a favorite. |
But imagine Jack as a PF2e Witch? :p
Anyway, I don't run full APs, because of the length of the commitment, and why I think Round-Robin style helps with that. I find that modules are just about the right length for me as a GM...
Anyway, we can continue, I probably won't run 5e either though...

I basically don't know how to use Pathfinder, have used in the past but not in recent years. A quick google search found some rules though so yeah, I'm game in the future. There would be questions for you more experienced folk X-D. I love playing games but I am terrible at remembering rules. From card games to board games to RPGs, rules just refuse to organize themselves in my head. But ask me what the passcode was from a movie I watched 22 years ago, I got that! Sigh.
Aeshuura |
Hahah, no worries, we will do a beginner friendly game and try to help you all along as much as possible! I think the most daunting thing is making the character... So much choice!
DM Paguroid |
It looks like PF2 is more streamlined than PF1, but yeah, analysis-paralysis is a real thing when making characters or levelling up!
DM Paguroid |
(fyi, I'm just leaving a bit of time for the role-playing -- new post coming soon)
Aeshuura |
The big trick is having a good grasp on the concept of the character, then people can help you with the things that you might want to take!
Aeshuura |
I need to wait for some of my games to finish before I could start it up anyway... Let us wait until this one finishes...

Ummm... maybe it's my old-school D&D showing, but I'm not generally too concerned with material spell components -- especially in the case of a cleric calling on the blessings of their deity (I mean, it's not like you're a wizard trying to tap into the power of the universe!). I wouldn't want that to get out of hand, though...
In this case, the pirates probably wouldn't have taken Braith's holy symbol, since her deity is the Earthmother. But, since you are both tied up and you've been stripped of your possessions, I think Braith will have to give a pretty good reason why this should work.
I am of a similar mind. Usually, I would say that the Holy Symbol could be used as a Divine Focus. Though, if the captain is worth anything, I feel that he might have made sure. However, this is a 1st lvl adventure, so it stands to reason that they may have forgotten... ;)
DM Paguroid |
yes, exactly. And the Earthmother is well-respected in Moonshae, so that's a likely reason to overlook it.
I'm also just more likely to overlook a game rule (especially one that's restrictive for small reason) if someone has a good story to tell.
Braith Ablewillow |
Yeah we play with a group that rather ignores spell components (except for the ones that need like 100gp of diamond dust or some such) and I just forget to even look for them. Very much so my bad! It is funny because I reread the chains bit and was like oh, we can still wave our arms about then I guess. LOL. What's in one person's imagination doesn't necessarily make it's way over to another person's! I wonder if some day we'll be playing in virtual reality and all be seeing the same thing. That'd be interesting.
