GameDay XIV "Fate of the Scoured God" [Tier 9+] (Old thread) (Inactive)

Game Master Chris Marsh

Welcome!

The Prize Rabbit dotting in...

Ready here. If there is anything you need from me, just let me know.

Hey, nufriends! Kishmo here - is there room for a lvl 11 bombard soldier? I saw on the GameDay sign-up sheet that this table is full with 6 PCs, but - it looks like the Fifth PC Sign-in slot is empty, so maybe someone backed out and there's room now..?

If the sheet is empty, the spot is open!

Fantastic! In that case, *hacker voice* I'm in.

See everyone in 2 days!

I'll flesh out Stees' character information over the weekend. Apologies about overlooking it until now! I added a Hephaistos link so you can pick up everything.

I'll get a link to RPG Chronicles going soon. We're still missing some who signed up. I don't know everyone who did, so if you don't mind checking and pinging anyone you know, it's appreciated!

I've reached out to the only other player I'm familiar with, JoeJungers.

I'm logged in, best as I'm able.

Thanks to Kish for the reminder.

Hi nufriends! I've played PbP before but this is my first time doing so on the Paizo boards. I see there is a tab for Players and another for Characters. How do I get added to those?

Here's a link to my character sheet
https://hephaistos.azurewebsites.net/character/1307448185

When you post in the gameplay, it'll add you to those two tabs. I suggest posting in the gameplay as your character, the alias, which needs to be created.

Ignore steps you have already done
1) up top, go to 'my account' >> 'account settings'
2) go down to organized play and click on 'make changes'
3) make sure that your character is there with the name that you want (note: once you have posted 10 times with that alias, you cannot change it)
4) go back to the gameplay thread and post a one word message as that character. To do so, before you 'submit post', to the left of 'submit post' is a drop down menu, select the character that will be joining this session.
5) after submitting the post delete the post.

OK got it, thanks!

All set and ready, sign up at RPGChronicles

Hey fellow players. Since starship combat is a possibility, can we see if we can iron out our positions before that point?

Drei
Piloting +21 (11 ranks)
Gunnery +18
Acrobatics +21 (11 ranks)
Computers +15 (11 ranks)
Engineering +18 (11 ranks)

Varuthalla is best at, and prefers Piloting or Gunnery, but she's also a great Chief Mate, and she's also a pretty good Engineer if needed.

I've also got the Skitterpal boon, so a Devourer-worshiping skittermander can be our Engineer (with a relatively-subpar +14 Engineering bonus) if needed, but...that's probably not worth doing.

If not slotting Skitterpal, I could bring the Personalized Hull boon, which lets us reroll a crit effect against us.

Omni could, in a pinch, be a 1st Mate (Acrobatics +16), but she's a high Dex, Full-BAB PC, so is a lot better in a gunner's seat.

She has access to the Impr. Drift Engine Starship boon, letting us choose our ships facing at the start of the combat & adjust its position by 1d6 hexes.

Speaking of...
Varuthalla's Boons
Personal: Sylph species boon + Calamitous Corruption
Faction: Acquisitives
Promotional: t-shirt re-roll
Ally: Master Hireling Access (Bluff, Dipl, Inti)
Social: Rasheen's Legacy
Starship: Skitterpal or Personalized Hull, tbd on if we need an Engineer
Slotless: Society Subdermal Implant
Redemption's Rise: First time you Improve NPC's Attitude - goes up by 2 categories
Explorer's Perseverance: still get 50% value of missed Credits from encounters
Specialized Resolve (use Enhanced Resolve Points)
Temporal Insight (+1 Init & 1 rerolled attack / save)
Finitrium Augmentations (Action Boost; spend RP for extra Actions)
Rasheen's Legacy (x1/scen Adv on Perc or Sense Motive, & Final Stand once)

Specialized Resolve
Defensive: Critical Cancellation
Offensive: Instant Reload
Transport: Temporary Patch
Utility: Rapid Moves

Stees can cover engineering (+21 engineering), science (+20 computers), or piloting (+22, 10 ranks).

Omni Gunnery
Varu Piloting
Stees Engineering/Science
Drei Gunnery/First Mate

Thoughts?

Omni Gunnery

Varu Piloting
Stees Engineering/Science
Drei Gunnery/First Mate

Thoughts?

I'm fine with that

Thirded! I'll slot my Skitterpal to have a backup Engineer with a +14 Engineering, for when Stees is on Science Officer.

Sounds good.

My apologies for disappearing over the weekend. I was involved in CritterCon and completely forgot to mention it!

My bad, I meant to shoot at black but my wording wasn't clear.

So, am I crazy or are we next to the wrong door? Shouldn't we be heading up?

Not crazy. Fixed and updated.

Just so it isn't buried behind a spoiler - I rolled a 1 for our Piloting Init, womp womp. Is everyone okay if I use one of the rerolls we earned from Mustering on that?

Go for it.

Sure

OK - I'm a little confused.

Are we flying the Tier 8 or the Tier 10 Drake?

Should be the 10

My gameplay thread is thoroughly borked. Disussion seems to be clear; I can see who posted what. When I click on gameplay I see words all over the place.

Same here.

Yeah, same here. Anything posted in the last day or two is all funky. I assume this is related to the Store / forum software update?

Posted. I'm assuming it's not fixed. My GM posts have a LOT in them for starship combat. If it's unreadable, we can seemingly post here just fine.

I appreciate you
