Hello,

Do you know if there is a Venture Captain in charge of the Castle Urion Lodge ? Do you know his or her name ? Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone,

According to that FAQ, "during the course of a scenario, you may have one combat animal and as many noncombat animals as you
like." If I have one combat animal, one noncombat animal and my combat animal dies gefore the end of a scenario, can I switch to my noncombat animal for the remaining combats ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,

If I want to play a Wizard (Arcane bomber) / Arcanist (School savant), how do I choose my opposition schools ?

The hybrid classes introduction states:

Quote:
Parent Classes: Each one of the following classes lists two classes that it draws upon to form the basis of its theme. While a character can multiclass with these parent classes, this usually results in redundant abilities. Such abilities don't stack unless specified. If a class feature allows the character to make a one-time choice (such as a bloodline), that choice must match similar choices made by the parent classes and vice-versa (such as selecting the same bloodline). The new classes presented here are all hybrids of two existing core or base classes.

As an Arcane bomber, I need to choose 4 opposition schools. As a School savant, I need to choose 1 specialization school and 2 opposition schools. According to the bold sentence in the quoted text, how do I make these two one-time choices match ?

Can I choose the 4 and 2 opposition schools independantly ? Can I choose the specialization school among the 4 opposition schools of the Arcane bomber ?

Thanks in advance for your answers,

Arp

Hello everyone,

I'll run The Sky Key Solution at the PaizoCon Fr in two weeks, and there are two issues that I'd like to solve.

The first one: on page 16, encounter B2, under Creatures, it's written "The rebels use the statistics for the First Humans encounter
on page 30". I hope it's a mistake, as fighting cavepersons and mastodons in the slave pens would be ... weird. What encounter should I use instead ?

The second one: on page 24, five lines before the end of the first column, it's written "the roiling dome of green light that encompasses nearly a square mile of territory". Then, on page 25, three lines before the end of the first column, it's written "The area encompassed by the
green half-sphere is several hundred feet in diameter". Ok, I made some calculations: "a square mile territory" implies that the half-sphere is about 1.13 miles in diameter. And 1.13 miles = about 6000 feet. So, the word "several" would mean "60". It's a lot ! What is correct ?

Thanks in advance,

Arp

Hello,

I was wondering if Coherent Rage was allowed in PFS. I don't think so as it doesn't explicitly appear in the Additional Resources (under Faction Guide). But I'd like to be sure.

Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone,

I'm preparing Trial by Machine, and there's something I don't really understand. The goal of this mission is quite clear : "You'll know when you reach the finish line " (Player Handout #1). So, why the PCs would want to go into area B3 after recovering the amulet from Meleren ? For what purpose ? I mean, Ambrus Valsin told them not to wander. So, I don't get it...

Thanks for your answers

Hello everyone,

I've got a question for you. In this scenario, if the PCs choose to fight the minotaur before exploring the caves, do I have to use the stat block given on page 21 (with the broken battleaxe) ? If not, does it mean that the minotaur has a greataxe ? or perhaps an unbroken battleaxe ?

Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone,

There is a something that I don't really understand in Tide of Twilight. When the PCs are fighting to save Falbin, his house and his garden, they have to extinguish the fire. But I have a few questions :

1) Can the fire spread diagonally ?

2) Can the fire affect the whole area drawn in the scenario ?

3) The secondary success condition is : "The PCs prevented more than 20 squares of Falbin's garden and house from catching fire." Is it "20 squares of each" or "a total of 20 squares" ?

4) In what area is the garden ? Is it the 40 square rectangle surrounded by a fence ?

4) If you've already played this scenario, how challenging is this success condition ?

Thanks for your answers !

Hello everyone,

I'm new as a Pathfinder Society GM, and I have a question for you. I know that we can't earn any Prestige Point anymore with faction missions, but still I would like to keep these missions on play, just for fun.

I'll soon organise a Season 3 scenario, and there is something that I don't understand. When there is a faction mission telling the PC to get a piece of information from someone, why is it impossible to find the content of the information ? Do I have to say "Ok, your character succeeds in getting the piece of information", and that's all ? It's a bit weird not telling exactly what the PC learns about.

Thanks in advance for your answers
