[PFS2, GameDay15] 2-08 A Frosty Mug (GM Watery Soup)

Game Master Watery Soup

For OOC discussion.

Alrighty! Hello, I have two in the range on both ends of the spectrum, and both characters are support-ish. My level 5 has more OOC healing capabilities, while my level 8 can do quite a bit with scrolls RK checks, and can give out temp HP every minute.

Level 5 - Wood/Water Kineticist (tiny animal)
Level 8 - Wand/Weapon (Scroll) Thaumaturge (Razmirian Priest)

I can watch the signup sheet as well to see which way we are running towards!

Hi, all.

Ash is a new Lv 7 PC. I will get his profile sorted during this week, including his header.

Ash uses Assurance with Medicine, for a result of 21. He has the Continual Recovery feat. He can Treat Wounds every 10 minutes on himself (or others that only Ash makes Treat Wounds checks on) for 2d8+10 hit points.

Ash uses Assurance with Medicine, for a result of 21. He has the Continual Recovery feat. He can Treat Wounds every 10 minutes on himself (or others that only Ash makes Treat Wounds checks on) for 2d8+10 hit points.

My kineticist can help bolster that with Fresh Produce and Ocean's Balm, while my thaumaturge could prepare a Heal spell up to rank 3 for his spell slots while handing out 16 Temp HP that lasts 24 hours or until used up, and can be refreshed every minute. Both are support, but of different flavors.

Here is my Thaumaturge that I am updating! (He's kind of a jerk.)

@GM: Please tell me if you agree with the following:

Damage is sometimes given as a fixed amount, but more often than not you’ll make a damage roll to determine how much damage you deal.

Deal is present tense, dealt is past tense.

Transcendence—Drink of my Foes ◆ (healing, transcendence, vitality) Requirements Your last action was a successful Strike with the barrow’s edge; Effect Your blade glows as it absorbs your foe’s vitality. You regain Hit Points equal to half the damage dealt.

Ash is healed of half of the total damage roll when he uses Drink of my Foes, even if the target had less than that many hit points remaining.

The healing and vitality traits are for the purposes of healing Ash, regardless of the traits of the foe (as neither of the two traits directly try to affect the foe). i.e. Ash can heal himself with Drink of my Foes using Barrow's Edge against undead foes.

Hello all! Decided I could handle one more game this time and haven't played old Grog in a while.

Level 6 Champion of Cayden Cailean. Always fun, sometimes useful!

Just need to make sure his online sheet is up to date.

William can be quazi-frontline with Ash, as his mace has a vitalizing rune on it, so any undead will take persistent vitality damage! Get Grog in there, and William can have Bless and Benediction up as well if the fight takes a long time if he doesn't have to prepare heal spells.

(Though he and Grog might have moments of opposing viewpoints...)

Part of the visual for Ash's combat style is using an interact action when he releases his Starshot (striking jezail) ikon (which stays in the air beside him) so he can grip his Barrow's Edge (+1 striking vitalizing cold iron bastard sword) with both hands for greater damage. Same tactic for when he wants to use Fatal Aim of his Starshot ikon, though he tends to use his Starshot mostly for the spark transcendence ability (which the Fatal Aim trait does not apply).

The William & Williams vanguard. :)

Should Ash survive to level 10, his bastard sword will become more like a chainsaw due to the serrating rune.

Ash does not worship or revere any gods, though if he did, Cayden would be at the top of that short list.

The thematics for Ash's ikons are linked to meteorites/comets, which have been part of significant events in his family line since his grandfather Joe was born in Alkenstar a few years after the city was founded, and on Earth, where his father, himself and his three girls were all born during significant comets/meteor showers. I used real-world history of comets/meteor showers of the 19th and early 20th century to line up with the significant events of the Williams Family.

Due to his energized spark (Earth-bludgeoning and Metal-slashing) when he sparks transcendence with his Starshot, it effectively damages a group of skeletons (5 foot burst of 2d8 bludgeoning instead of spirit damage) or a group of zombies (5 foot burst of 2d8 slashing damage instead of spirit damage).

Should it ever come up in scenario missions - due to Ash's sterling dynamo hand being a +1 ghost touch silver dynamo; should an invisible incorporeal creature grab his dynamo hand and successfully grapple Ash via holding onto this metal hand, it will look to onlookers like Ash is not in control of his right hand. :)

I'm sure William and Grog will get along just fine!

Hello everyone! This is my first time playing PBP on Paizo forums, although I've played one on Discord before. Please let me know if you have any feedback for me! Ash, I used your tagline as a template for mine if that's okay.

Norman is a fortune teller from Nidal. His family worshipped Desna, so they fled to Absalom a few years ago. He uses his crystal ball as his mirror implement, and a khopesh that he got from Katapesh during his first PFS mission.

He also has some Medicine feats and Scroll Thaumaturgy, but it looks like we're well-covered there. Funnily enough, his weapon is also Vitalizing. I think William and Norman will be fast friends!

He does have the Marshal archetype though, which gives him an inspiring stance that gives +1 status to attacks, fear saves, and mental effect saves.

It's good to meet you all. I'm looking forward to our game! :)

Hi, Norman.

It is okay to use my tagline as a template. I suggest adding the symbols ↺ ◇ ◆ ✋at the end of your tag line (or to include them in a spoiler in your header). This makes it easer when previewing your gameplay messages to copy and past the relevant symbols to make it easier on the GM to see how you are using your action economy for each combat turn. If you have the character space in your header, you might consider putting the symbols as (↺) (◇) (◆) (◆◆) (◆◆◆) ✋ ♥ ♡ ⛨ ☘️ (as some GMs like the bracketed format for displaying actions in gameplay posts).

Header tip:

Using spoilers in headers creates a new line for the spoiler, and the stuff after a spoiler also creates a new header line - which is useful to create a header layout that makes it easier to distinguish vital stats header lines for your character and a separate vitals line for an animal companion/eidolon/familiar.

I did not have enough space in Ash's header to include one of the things I tend to do, which is list the PC's languages (which I tend to put in spoilers for my characters if I want to do the spoiler trick). I also tend to include my characters' trained (or higher) skills in a spoiler. Having the languages and skill modifiers can make it quick for GMs to access them for secret skill checks and to see if non-Common dialogue (verbal/written) is understood by your character.

Your HF mini looks good. :)

I suggest adding the PFS Options for your character onto your PB sheet (in the Notes tab) and/or alias profile for the following (makes it easy for GMs to find relevant info if needed):

PFS Options:

Faction:
Secondary Initiation: (optional)
Home Regions:
Nation:
City:
Bonus Regional Language:
Worship (Pantheon/Covenant): (can omit this one if does not apply)
Worship (Patron Deity/Philosophy):
Revere (Pantheons/Covenants/Deities/Philosophy): (optional, as revering deities provides no game mechanics benefits, so this one is for viewers to gain idea of additional deities character reveres but does not worship)

Languages:

Ash's gear is completed. Updated the Pathbuilder links in my profile and header.

I knew I keep on forgetting to do something in my header! So many actions....

I have finalized Ash's build, Pathbuilder character sheet, alias profile and Hero Forge mini.

Okay, slides are finally up as well as an RPG Chronicles link. Please put your preferred character token on Slide 2 in default marching order, and fill out your Perception and Initiative modifiers.

As for the headers, the only thing I really require are your AC, max HP, and saves. Everything else is optional.

Slides and Chronicles filled out!

Still no internet access at home. Hopefully tomorrow will get it sorted (as they are closed today because it is Labour Day) and should either have internet access at home again or be waiting for new modem to arrive via mail.

To conserve my mobile data for checking PBP campaigns and posting in them, will probably not check Slides via mobile data. @GM: Please adjudicate my actions as necessary so they match up with map.

Ash’s , Pathbuilder (linked), Hero Forge mini (linked), character backstory (sans additional backstory dealing daughters growing up) and header were all done before my internet went out.

Note to self: Ash is ready for gameplay.

Don't worry about, Ash. Save your mobile date for important things, we'll work everything out.

I'll have finalized everything, including the RPG Chronicles and token done in the next few hours. Was at a convention during the weekend!

Time to bring back the (Non)Cultist!

Should be finished on my end too, but let me know if anything is missing!

Got internet issue sorted with provider. Getting set up/catching up for my Game Day games currently.

Okay, updated fully before selection of spells. Managed to get a game in with William during the weekend, so he now has a Greater Staff of Healing that holds 3 charges!

Ashley J. Williams, can you sign up on RPG Chronicles? I will assume Norman is checking this thread even though they're not checked into Gameplay.

We are set to go!

Levels 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 8 = 20 Challenge Points (for my reference)

Now signed up on Chronicle Sheets.

Ash has Only the Worthy feat for Barrow's Edge & Starshot ikons. He releases Starshot (using interact action so it stays in the air beside him) to get both hands on Barrow's Edge. Similar tactic to use Fatal Aim trait of Starshot.

Hmm...I should create tiny tokens for his Barrow's Edge & Starshot ikons....so if he moves from his space will have their location on the maps (until he uses action for them to fly back to one of his hands).

@everyone: Slot in which skill you use for the word initiative on the slides for your default exploration activity.

@William: add your modifier to the d20 roll for exploration activity.

Apologies if the above comes off as overstepping, just trying to help out.

Ash's Fashionable Wayfinder sheds blood crimson-coloured light.

That's on me, lol. Had a brain fart and thought I filled that one out.

Woo, William and Hadrimos working together again!
