Hello! Thanks so much for offering this game. I am very much looking forward to playing with you all.

I believe to remember that we are targeting high tier, although I know that some of the characters will probably play up.

I’ll come in with Suussmaar, my level 9 warpriest archer.

Have a great weekend!

Noral

My legal characters are ninja 5, witch 7 or cavalier 7.

I'm using a magus kensai 5.

Either bard 7 or gunsling 6/oracle 2. Bard will finish previous game soon and gunslinger receveis GM chronicle around same time.

I have a few different pcs available…depending on tier.

Alchemist 8 or Ninja 7

If target is high tier I will bring Roderick alchemist 8

Yeah, expect we'll be playing high-tier. Still waiting on one more to check in, though. With the Paizo webstore possibly disrupting posting, it may be a few more days before we officially start.

Just realized Roderick is 9th level. Still in-tier (wow - last played him 2022).

Pretty sure Roderick's last game was also the last game I played my elven enchantress Ansha in. ;)

Almost - I had to check but he snuck in Rebels Ransom right before the end of the year 2022. But he definitely leveled after that. :)

It took me a bit to search through his posts, since I used his alias several times as one of my NPC on a Hells Rebels AP I was running also where I needed a Cheliaxian random citizen - which he is/was.

Hi everyone!

Sorry, just got back from my son’s wedding in Texas. Here’s my PC info:

Player's Name: Otha
Character's Name: Wymarc
Paizo #: 239913-10
Faction: Grand Lodge
Level: 6 (Rogue 3 / Ranger 3)
XP TRACK: Normal
Day Job roll: Sleight of Hand: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30

Ranged combat support, thieving skills, scouting…

By my count, we will be at APL 7 - 7.5, depending on what Mustaparta and I pick. Judging by the classes, you could really use a heavily armored snake riding an owlbear and carrying an occasionally hyperbolic intelligent shield. So cavalier 7 it is.

Here also my details for reporting.

Player's Name: cmlobue
Character's Name: Shidō Raigami-Blakros
Paizo #: 312045-7
Faction: Sovereign Court
Level: Cavalier 7

Day Job roll: spending 2 PP to check box for Senatorial Candidate boon

Player's Name: Mustaparta
Character's Name: Jaakko Varpunen

Level: Gunslinger 6 [Mysterious stranger]/ Oracle 2 [streets mystery/tongues curse]

Thinking I may pick someone other than Jaakko as my speechwriter...

Are we ending up with

6+6+7+8+9+9=45

7.5 APL?

It looks that way. If I'm not mistaken, that rounds up, so you'll be playing in the 8-9 subtier.

Go ahead and make posts in the Gameplay thread and we'll get started.

I forgot Ki Chin is already lvl 6.

That is correct! But the characters seemed quite optimized, so therefore I’m not so worried.

The slides were view only for me when I just tried.

Requested edit access to the slides

Hello GM, Suussmaar had a 32 gather information check. Does that result in more information? Thanks

Sorry, must have missed that Gather Info roll from Suussmaar. As for the slides, I've updated the permissions. Maybe one of these days I'll do that the first time. xD

I've never experienced the sleep condition before. What actions can I take?

Generally, none. In this case, someone woke you up, which is why you were able to take an action in round 1. If we were doing initiative order strictly, it would need to be someone before you in the order who woke you up (or, potentially, your place in the order delays/drops until after the person who woke you). But since you’re all in the same initiative block, it’s easier to just leave the order as-is and let you take an action if anyone wakes you.

There may also be corner cases like a feat, magic item, spell, or special ability that awaken you, too, but I’m not aware of any.

Sleep (deep slumber) is basically helpless- and subject to coup de grace etc. Not good, but easy to counter as long as the whole party is not affected.
