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.

HIGH TIER LEVEL BUMPS

To provide low level players a more fun and fair experience, PCs whose level equals the adventure’s base level (such as a 3rd-level PC playing in a Level 3–6 scenario) gain a temporary boost when playing in the higher level range called a level bump to represent the higher-level PCs’ mentorship and support.

Increase every DC the PC has by 1.
Increase the attack modifiers, attack damage, spell damage, saving throw modifiers, skill modifiers, Perception modifiers, and AC of the PC by 1.
Increase the Hit Point totals of the PC by 10 or by 10%, whichever is higher.

These adjustments are less beneficial than gaining a level, yet they provide the PC more survivability and opportunity to contribute to the adventure experience, reducing the degree to which higher-level PCs might overshadow these less experienced Pathfinders.

You should also remind higher level PCs to apply any mentor boons they might have purchased.

Apply the relevant adjustments to the PC's animal companions, eidolons, and familiars as well. If a value is already increased by applying the adjustment to a PC (such as a familiar's save modifiers and AC), do not increase the value a second time.

I signed up with my level 4 Contemplative imperial-bloodline sorcerer. I have another level 4 I could bring, a Commander instead. But that's it in my stable that hasn't already played this.

Having all of our martials on a level bump isn't very promising, especially if we don't have good in-combat healing.

Horizon Hunters

Half human, half amazing

I can switch to a level 3–4 character (instead of Duncan) to keep us in the same tier. I’m already playing this scenario at low tier with another character, and I’d like to experience it at high tier as well.

I have a level 4 fighter or a level 4 hydrokineticist who can join this game.

Amaranthine: I hope you don't mind but I slid your token back one for the marching order since Steelmantle is Large sized.

If the party wants to go high level, I can bring another tank, my 4th-level champion Dinardin.

Third is set up on the Macros and slide. They're very squishy, so please no friendly fire unless absolutely necessary (I'm not objecting outright.)

Provision = Rank 2 scroll of heal given to whomever can cast it (Granny, I presume?)

My measly 2 glyphs don't add anything to the pile already on the table :)

Full disclosure, I'm running this in PBP currently.

I've added a slide to the Slide Deck for character art in case anyone else wants to post other art of their characters than the default PBP avatar. Since Paizo still has no Contemplative avatar for the forums, I added some art of Third to the slide.

I tried PbD and didn't like it. It moves too fast for me, especially in my previous life when I wasn't online 24/7.

I'm still in the Lodge but just for Cayden's Ascension online Con this coming weekend.

Hmm, i just tried, but the macro sheet froze on me.

Will try again in a little bit.

As a frequent imbiber of mutagens, changing possibly every skill on his sheet, how do you want me to handle that on the Macro?

Third can herd civilians. It'll improve their Initiative by allowing them to roll Diplomacy, and their Exploration Activity is usually detect magic or Avoid Notice, so no loss to the party from doing this instead.

put the baseline on the macros - if you're on something you can mention it in your post (it's just a +2 to one and -2 to others) anyway :)

Each civilian group from the 3 locations (2 per location) has a corresponding benefit to the PC guiding them in encounters. All of you need to be guiding a group (if you have the Celebrity Dedication you can guide 2 groups). It's just a question of which group you're guiding.

The 3 locations are:

Cayden's Keg
Dreamhouse
Vusker's Carts and Wheels

You need to decide as a group who is guiding which group (i.e. which 2 PCs are guiding the groups from Cayden's Keg, etc).

As for the benefit, well, I can't really tell you what the benefit is, can I? Where's the fun in finding out? :)

If I need to lead a different one, that’s fine, but I didn’t think I was tripling up.

So far:

Cayden's Keg - Third
Dreamhouse - Basag, Kosh
Vuskers - Granny

Fjorn/Dinardin - which one?

Dreamhouse - A PC guiding this group can use 1 action to have a Desnan cleric cast a 2-action, 2nd-rank heal once per group.
So I would assume you'll have 2 2-action rank 2 heals...

I misunderstood, thought it was only 3 PCs.

Nope. You each have to take one group.

So Dinardin gets the last one and is guiding Vuskers.

Cayden's Keg - The eager crowd cheers the Pathfinders on, granting PCs guiding them a +1 status bonus to attacks and damage in combat. (will not stack with Courageous Anthem if any of you have it)

Vuskers - +2 Initiative

I'll set it up and move us along tomorrow.
