I see. So when in places that Vildran or San frequent, would they have even seen her as her or she would have been in-disguise?
Sounds like they might just know her from general reputation around town.
Looks like we all have a friend at the harbor now.

GM, Party,
Actually Tao picked up a longspear, even though I recently posted about a glaive (woops). Later he'll realize he grabbed the wrong weapon and just make due.
In applying finishing touches to the character based upon looking at what everyone else is bringing, I had to use his feat slots to gain more skills and full AC, leaving no room for fancy weapons.
As he is an Oracle and not a Cleric, it oughtn't matter much mechanically. Longspear is a fine weapon!
=)
Did you notice any other major gaps?
I think Vildran is the only member with medicine, and he's simply passable with it. Our nature/religion/survival is minimally proficient (mostly Tao), but maybe that's okay. Vildran would have to re-arrange ability scores to help more with these.
Well, yes, besides the obvious chosen one :D

I didn't notice that we only have one PC with Medicine, yikes! Bastiano is likely to add a new trained skill at level 2 from the psychic archetype (he's already trained in Occultism), so he can make that Medicine - he won't be particularly good at it, but better than nothing.
Going from zero to some is a big difference!
I see we have arcana covered three ways. Not necessarily a bad thing but perhaps a bit redundant. I was planning on being a person that could ID magic even if he couldn't use much of it. A fighter that knows things... Obviously knowing things is more efficient on classes that use Int as KAS. I'm not sure how effective San is going to be at any skills challenges, or at least contribute in a way that others aren't better at already.
GM, how useful will the magic identifications skill feats be? How do you handle magic item identification?
I'm planning on picking up quick ID and assured identification. I don't want to waste feats if that kind of stuff gets handwaived anyway. Not a problem right now, but for the future. I can change tack as we go if necessary.
Side note, after deliberations, is it ok if I switch my racial cantrip from 'gouging claw' to 'ignition'? It's fairly useless until eldritch archer @ lvl 6 either way but at least fire damage might be more helpful if piercing doesn't work.
Sidonie has scads of skills and can pick some more up. But medicine probably isn't a good one for her since it keys off WIS, which isn't one of her better abilities.
@San: I plan to handle magic identification by the normal rules, except in the case of fundamental rune items (potency, striking, etc), which I'll give to you automatically for simplicity's sake. Anything more esoteric will benefit from the identification feats. Also, you can certainly change your racial cantrip.

Got another spot of time to catch up on the OOC.

In Sandpoint, Autumn generally saves her disguises for cons. Here’s what I have in mind for her connections to the other PCs—please correct me if my ideas don’t match yours.
Bastiano: Sees him often at Sandpoint Savories and at Sandpoint Boutique where she works part-time. He would be her closest connection.
San Thevin: Met him at his parents’ jewelry shop.
Sidonie: Met her at Vernah’s Fine Clothing.
Tao: Maybe seen him around, but that’s it.
Vildran: Aware of the ‘funny-looking elf’ but that’s probably about it. (Unless you’d prefer that she conned him while disguised—maybe sold him a worthless book that was passed off as recovered from the Old Light?)
I see we have arcana covered three ways.
With 6 PCs there’s bound to be multiple overlap (e.g. 5 of us are trained in Society), so I wouldn’t worry about it.
By the way, I’m super glad you took Detect Magic. I almost never take it for my casters!
I didn't notice that we only have one PC with Medicine, yikes!
I’ll swap out Stealth for Medicine—it still fits with the background I have in mind for her. Plus, that’ll give me something to spend my surplus gold on (i.e. healer’s kit).
Sweet, thanks! My sheet has been updated with Ignition vs Gouging Claw.
As for detect magic, I mean, it is a racial ability and it's only marginally useful for finding magic things. I won't be mad if someone else can prepare read aura eventually to help with "find the magic doohicky" rather than detect magic shenanigans of taking a couple steps, cast... take another couple steps, cast... ect. The additional +1 circumstance bonus to ID wouldn't hurt either.
Oh yeah, I totally forgot that's supposed to be a thing... rolling a 1 on my first attack roll of the campaign is a good place for it.
The map and handouts are both in my GM alias's stat line. I can add them to the campaign header if people find that useful.
As for hero points thanks for the reminder! Please do take 1 hero point each for the start here. I play my home PF2e game without hero points, so I often forget about them on the boards. I'll endeavor to grant you all an additional hero point upon the completion of each minor objective.
Feel free to apply your hero points to this round if you'd like!
Sweet! 6 is better than one... but not by much. Especially for only 3 damage.
Bastiano, you forgot a die!
Which one? Did I misunderstand Devise a Strategem? It’s my first time using it.
