Please dot in or introduce your character, and fill out the Slides linked above.

Any GM Glyphs?
Or anything in particular I need to know about your character?

We're well into high tier, so our level 1 characters receive a level bump. Make sure to share your Mentor Boons!

Rainzax, your playtest character is level 3, but did you want a level 1 or level 3 Chronicle for your proxy character?


Male Human

4 glyphs. I've prepped this but I haven't run it so I'll be taking notes! :)

I should have the Radiant Oath Mentor Boon.

I have a level 2 and a level 4 character if I should play them instead. Otherwise Scripio will take any mentor boons available.

Where does one obtain mentor boons to distribute in games like this? I don't (I think?) have any.


Pathfinder Provisions ◆◇↺

From the boon store, but they're free. You just need 20 reputation with any one faction, so a 4th-level character should have them.

Mentor Boons don't benefit the character who has them but your low-level party members, so you should pick them up when you can.

Oh, I see them there. I'd never noticed before.

As a member of the Grand Archive, Voron would have [Magical Mentor] to offer.

Reference:
Magical Mentor (Grand Archive) wrote:

While working with less experienced Pathfinder allies, you provide key spellcasting insights that augment your colleagues’ magic. Any PCs benefiting from a Level Bump and whose levels are lower than yours can prepare one additional spell of their highest-level spell slot or cast one additional spell of their highest-level spell slot. When casting spells of a magical tradition that is the same as the tradition you use for spellcasting, the affected PC also increases the Level Bump’s modifier to spell DCs to 2.

Normal: A Level Bump increases a PC’s spell DCs by 1, and it does not grant any additional spells prepared or spell slots.

After a bit of deliberation, I'm going ahead with Scripio. I was very close to switching to a level 3 or 4 character instead. But I think he'll fill the right niche and has a good bit to offer with Esoteric Lore and Exploit Weakness even if he's underleveled.

Is anyone Envoy's Alliance and has the mentor boon?

Up front he'll be more curious than offended by a statement of "truer form." He may ask questions to no end though :D

Info for a couple characters on the Slides.

Is Ramona a Rugged Mentor?

Looks like one character intro.

Hezrioux's proxy Chronicle: First or third level?

I find reserving a Chronicle annoying, but there's also the option to choose a character of that level.

Thanks. I needed a laugh...

Apologies for the silence. Had a really really toxic Thursday-Friday at work so I needed the weekend to recharge. If you dabble in IT, let me know and I'll tell you the horror of it all :)

I'm on the software dev/engineering side, and I definitely know many toxic patterns in the industry (I feel it's more or less broken as a whole).

So the slides are filled, i posted in gameplay

Tharpe has Radiant Oath Mentor boon (which is bad ... ;))

Protective Mentor (Radiant Oath)
Prerequisites: Liked by Radiant Oath
Cost: 0 AcP
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.

SO if you pick it instead of 10 HP more, you get 13 HP more ;)

And I honestly misread about the enemies thinking they were giant plants. But it works as Scripio has this clueless but things still work vibe to him.


Pathfinder Provisions ◆◇↺

You didn't! I told you they were plants.

However, the reason I told you that is because you were investigating, so I rolled a secret Recall Knowledge check for you at the start of the fight, and it was a natural 1 critical failure.
(Fortitude is also not their weakest defense, though pointing it out now is probably moot.

I have been consistently entertained by the writing.

Playing unfairly into my positive bias for goblins…

And another round of Hero Point nominations!

There's a combat encounter listed as "optional" coming up: "This encounter is optional; you should run it if over 2 hours remain in the scenario’s timeslot, or if you otherwise judge there is sufficient time."
Obviously that description doesn't directly apply to pbp, so I'll leave it up to the players: Run it or skip it?

As a two-action activity, anyone can attempt a Deception, Diplomacy, or Intimidation check to make the drake decide he doesn't want to fight any more.

Wow, that would have changed Scripio's action, and the crit might have saved them both some damage. But I think the outcome of the Drake gone would be the same. Just the weirdness of PbP where you post the whole turn at once.


Pathfinder Provisions ◆◇↺

It actually would have been exactly the same, because Tail Lash is also triggered by a skill check.

So it actually should have been in response to your Exploit since that happened first, but I'd already written it up the other way when I realized I skipped that, and it didn't change the outcome at all so I left it.
