[ACO] PF2e - 05-04: Equal Exchanges - Necessary Introductions (P2)

Game Master UncleFroggy

Hello! Welcome to my table. Before we start, please do the following:

Please complete the macros linked at the top of the page. This will be used for initiative and secret rolls.

Please also post your token to the slides and post your position in the marching order. The slides are also linked at the top of the page.

As per the Organized Play Foundation Community Standards, each player must decide if they will allow their characters to be damaged by friendly fire (usually via splash damage). In keeping with the “Explore, Report, Cooperate” motto of the Pathfinder Society, engaging in non-consensual character-versus-character conflict is prohibited. While accidental friendly fire happens due to missed attack rolls or other factors, players must obtain the consent of other players before deliberately including fellow PCs in damaging effects. This rule does not apply in situations where a character is not acting of their own free will, such as if they’re being mind-controlled by an NPC and forced to attack a fellow Pathfinder.

This applies to Scenarios only
You may select a consumable item from the Pathfinder Provisions list. These used to be the school items you get prior to starting an adventure. Quests and bounties do not receive provisions.

Bringing my Witch since we have a rogue and we are playing high.

Hey All!

Macros/Slides: Done
Friendly Fire: Okay
Provisions: Minor Healing potion

My druid is still level 2. Will I be playing with a level bump?

Nope. Level bumps only apply if you're at the bottom tier. Meaning you'd have to Lvl 1 to get the level bump. Do you have a higher tier PC (or do you want to use a pregen)?

Or you could use the higher level characters as a shield... ;)

I'd go with the second option... =P My higher-level PCs are now within the 5-7 level range, and I really want to get this druid leveled up so long as she survives.

Yeah Melenia, you will be fine! ;)

btw. I played all other parts of Equal Exchanges, and I played them in reverse order ;) Just so that you know

How about mentoring? How does that work? We also have a Champion, so that will help keep me alive while going melee! XD

Slides and macros done.

I have one glyph.

Taking climbing bolt as provision.

Friendly fire OK.

How do you know if you have a glyph?

EDIT: Found it! I only have 4 tables under my belt... ^_^

Unless BK has a GM glyph, who goes without the extra hero point?

I can go without, if necessary...

You only get mentor boons with level bumps. So to get the level bump you need to be at the lowest tier (i.e. your PC has to be lvl 1 to qualify).

Witch has very little use for hero points, frontliners can use them. SO I vot for Jortix to not have extra hp

So BK feels even MORE like a hero!

Note to GM: I accidentally posted (and quickly deleted) as Chen Fu, so you can remove him from the roster if it is annoying.

I just removed it so that it's less confusing.

Drunken Master?

Sorry for being a noob but what's the left-hand wall approach?

If you are standing in the room, you put your left hand along the wall and head into the dungeon. Checking any doors on that wall that you come across and come back to the others as you complete the dungeon...

Point of interest: The main issue with that approach is that if you are in a circular passage you will never try the right-hand choices. Though a problem for non-thinking rule followers (like a poorly programmed app), folks with a little intelligence can figure out what is going on and switch to right-hand once all the left hand choices are exhausted.

Agreed. It is mostly giving preference to left when a choice is presented. ^_^

Thank you for explaining this. I'll observe as we go along.

Anytime!

Is the Daze spell really as crappy as it seems? With that low damage I would think it might stun 1 on a regular failure and stun 2 on a crit failure, or ramp up damage quicker. But NOOOooOOO!

For the most part ... yes.

Longer answer is that it has it's uses.
1. It is only spell that does nonlethal damage, so if you try to bring something unconcious, that is your own tool (unless you take a feat)
2. It is one of the few spells that does mental damage, which bypass physical resistance (is it still a thing in remaster?)
3. I saw interpretation where Possession cases were played that mental damage did only damage to the soul (possesor) and not body (possesed).
4. It targets will save, most cantrips dealing damage are vs Reflex

But when fighting average rat, yeah don't use Daze :D

Hope everyone is okay! ^_^

EDIT: Just checking in because we haven't heard from the GM in a few...

Got a bit sidetracked at work... Also had to start my Paizocon games...

Okay, no worries! You are always running so many games! We thank you!
