Shades of [ULTRA PLUS] Ice [CORE]

This is where we discuss what's going on, out-of-character.

Hey Bobbie, did you know Bracers of Armor doesn’t stack with your Chain Mail?

If you knew that and were buying it for the AC it offers against ghosts and the like, ignore me.

No, I didn't know :( How devastating :(

Then I'm taking a Potion of Invisibility (Slave Ships of Absalom) and a Potion of Barkskin (The Confirmation) for 300 gp each

Listing everything here in case I made any mistakes:

Between Adventures: I paid 1125 GP to remove the 'Debt to the Brine' boon from my chronicles

Items Bought during Bobbie's shopping: Cold Weather Outfit (7gp); 4 Bolts (Fire) (200gps); +1 Bracers of Armors from the Many Fortunes of Grandmaster Torch; struck off from the Chronicle (1000gp)

(...) Bracers of armor and ordinary armor do not stack. If the wearer receives a larger armor bonus from another source, the bracers of armor cease functioning and do not grant their armor bonus or their armor special abilities. If the bracers of armor grant a larger armor bonus, the other source of armor ceases functioning. (Source: Bracers of Armor)

Ninja'd! That's what I get for not refreshing the page before clicking "Submit"...

@Erica 'Bobbie' Zufan:

Did you know that you can buy things that are not on your chronicle sheet - besides the always available items - depending on your fame score? With your current 17 fame you can buy any PFS legal (CORE) item with a maximum price of 3000 GP. After you get to 18 fame you can buy items with a price up to 5250 GP.

I'd like to invite you to have a look at this amazing Quick Reference Guide that some awesome person in the past put together for PFS1e. Besides many other useful information - e.g. a list of the above mentioned always available items - it has a table of minimum fame score and maximum item cost.
I find myself using this sheet all the time! ;-)

Also, regarding your Debt to the Brine: You can wait with the purchase of the teleport scroll until you have 15 XP. Maybe you get lucky and get a chronicle with the scroll - then it's way cheaper to buy in order to remove this "boon". And if not, you have earned more money until level 6 and it doesn't hurt that much. (You former teammate Merida will wait she has until 15 XP.)
Think about it: Including the 1000 GP you did not spend on the bracers of armor, you could buy a Ring of Protection for 2000 GP that does stack with your armor - and it even helps against touch attacks and when you're flat-footed!

Ok, that's enough unsolicited advice for today. ;-)

That's very useful information - thank you!! :)

To keep things simple (and because it's kinda funnier that way), I don't think I will retcon the Debt to the Brine stuff - if only because I can't imagine Bobbie waiting for something.

Looking up resources online, I've just realised that I keep forgetting that Prestige Points are a thing - I can spend 2 and get any item that is below 750 GPs, is that correct?

Yup! Once per session you can do that.

At low levels I usually buy lvl 1 wands (CLW, endure elements, and/or others depending on if the character can cast other things). At higher I may buy scrolls or potions of higher level spells. Other purchases I have done in the past include mw composite longbows and snapleaf tokens, which are at or near the 750g cost.

It’s a great way to get a few extra consumables.

Then I'll spend 2 on updating my crossbow to a masterwork one :) Thanks!

On my phone and traveling tomorrow, but i'll buy at least some warm clothes.

apologies for the delay, this was my finals week, and it ended up taking more out of me than I thought it would

When you have the chance, the 2nd and 3rd slide here would need to be filled out.

Looks like we have a lot of front-liners...

I'll do it when I'm back from my holidays !

I do need the marching order for us to move on.

Sorry, got it done now. Leon would normally go in the front, but we have two other clear front liners and he is carrying the chest.

Apologies for the slow start. This summer, I'm working and taking classes, and it has taken me a little bit of time to try to get the right balance of my time devoted to each activity.

That's fine, don't worry.
You already wrote that it will be a slow(er) game in your GM Expectations when you started recruiting.
So nobody here can say that they didn't know/sign up for this. ;-)

Seconded. You warned us all about the slow pace before we even started, and I'm fine with it

No problem, we ain't in a hurry.

"Oh, looks at we gots here! A bunch of fancy southerners who got losts, is its?" the gruff bartender, missing his arm, says.

Bobbie looks just about ready to punch someone in the face. At least it will be an asset if things go south.

I see what you did there, Bobbie. Nice one! ^_^

uh, are you guys gonna move into the tavern?

Ah, yes... That was the plan all along... Very intended!! Good job for following, class! ;P

Ah, I forgot to move my token!! Sorry about that. I just did it

Could I try to steal one of our foes cestus with Sleight of hand ?

If you try to take something from a creature, you must make a DC 20 Sleight of Hand check. The opponent makes a Perception check to detect the attempt, opposed by the Sleight of Hand check result you achieved when you tried to grab the item. An opponent who succeeds on this check notices the attempt, regardless of whether you got the item. You cannot use this skill to take an object from another creature during combat if the creature is aware of your presence.

I think it would be a CMB check to disarm technically. And the text for a cestus say that a cestus can't be disarmed.

Hi everyone!

I'll be on holidays from July 25th to August 2nd. Posting will be possible but limited, and I won't have access to maps

Please bot me if needed, especially in fights!

On vacation (without computer ) from tomorrow 20 July until 23 July, please bot me as needed

To be fair, Shannon, I believe the bar is to kill a linnorm single-handedly.

(Shannon's nephew) killed the non-weakened Red Reaver, CR17 / MR2 mythic magical beast, in 4 rounds single-handedly without any buff from teammates with 7 arrows. You don't need anything beyond the APG for that.

Although my success happened in non-CORE campaign, I did heard about CORE character taking the highest subtier and challenge mode in 10-98 multi-table special and defeated the final final boss, without any casualty, with only 4 players in the team. So there're those Pathfinders/Seekers out there.

Which is why most enemies of the Society always regret messing with us in the end :)

*looks around*
Is everyone on vacation? ;-)

Paizo's web server or the technician thereof might be

Still here!

Still heah.

Still there

so sorry, I was having issues connecting for the past few days.
