I also have a lot of purchases to record on my profile--the last several games I've played him in have been in person, and I haven't transcribed my (handwritten!) notes.

It looks like the other quest is going to fire, so I presume that Oskar Z. has dropped this table.

I will proceed with the five players we have presently and then offer this quest again in the future as promised.

I should not have presumed. Welcome aboard Oskar Z.

Hancok is taking a salve of antiparalysis as his Pathfinder Provisions.

If I'm doing my math correctly, it looks like both Pennypockets and I would be getting a level bump. Any other mentorship boons?

Hancock, but his is just a duplicate (Horizon Hunters Rugged Mentor).

I am heading out of town tomorrow and may not be posting again until sometime Monday, February 10.

I am confused as to how Fast Movement (a feat) and Furious Footfalls (barbarian ability) interact. Should his speed be 40' instead of 30'? They are both status bonuses so it seems they should not stack, but then what is the point of the feat if it does not?

Fast Movement is a feat in the core rulebook, and Furious Footfall is a feature in the remaster Player Core 2. I think the reason that the feat doesn't have a point is that they made it a feature in the Remaster.

That makes total sense! Missed that when I 'remastered' the character.
