Batpony's page

Hello! I will be playing a Cleric of Nethys! Have not gotten his profile made yet but should be done before next weekend.

Hey guys! Came over by Qstor as well, I only have 2 characters in tier.
Unfortunately I won't be adding anything to the mix of needs on healing or range.

-4th level summoner (with a melee based biped Azata)
-6th level two weapon monk/fighter (possibly will be level 7 by end of the week)

My home Internet has been unexpectedly been down for the last 2 days. Worse comes to worse I'll try to provide a update through my mobile phone to keep things going. Apologies all!

Sorry guys, internet is down for the day, should be back up tomorrow.

I'm hoping to add to this conversation as similar questions came up as I was running my game.

At first I rolled initiative Sneak/Hide is not vs Perception Roll but that's clearly not justified with RAW sinse the sneak/hide should be against Perception DC.

Here's now how I think the ruling and relative tactics should work with regards to initiative.

Sneak vs Perception DC, if the creature's sneak is higher than PC, PCs should immediately fall below creature in initiative (the creature is unsensed and unseen, no reason to react), unless the PC was using the searching tactic. Perception roll off for initiative will just decide which PC acts first after the ambush/hidden creature acts.

Searching, If the PC was using the searching tactic, their initiative roll is also a free "seek" action (If sensed by Perception DC and search roll is higher than sneak: creature becomes Seen; If unsensed by perception DC and search roll is higher than sneak: creature becomes sensed) This would address a mechanical benefit searching has for initiative, but I'm obviously ignoring the "30 feet cone" range for seek action.

The Bats on the other hand, are common household bat swarms, and because they are difficult to hit can be resistant to most attacks. (Resistance Bludgeoning 5, Piercing 5, Slashing 2). Swarms are no longer immune to weapon damage but they do have strong resistance towards it! Additionally, Balistar realises the bats are more spooked than they are hostile and it is possible to attempt to calm them down. If a PC succeeds at DC 12 Nature check as an action, the bats do not attack anyone that round. If a PC critically succeeds at the check, he calms the bats sufficiently that they no longer pose a threat. An individual PC can attempt to escape the bats’ notice by using an action to attempt a DC 12 Stealth check.

For all intents and purposes they do have AC

Trying to figure out how the Shoanti bolas work with their trip special weapon feature.

Special Weapon Features wrote:

Trip: You can use a trip weapon to make trip attacks.

Combat Maneuvers wrote:

You can attempt to trip your opponent in place of a melee attack. You can only trip an opponent who is no more than one size category larger than you ... If your attack exceeds the target’s CMD, the target is knocked prone.

For now, I'll rule that the attack hit, damaged the carrion golem, but didn't trip the creature. (It's CMD is a bit higher than its AC.)

If anyone can point me to rules I've overlooked, please let me know.

You can make a range trip attempt or range attack. Not both. If it misses the CMD, there should be no damage if it was a trip attempt

I plan to start within a week, as in, character introductions within a week.

I'll have to pass then!

Has this been clarified anywhere?

Really looking to more PFS playtest!

Deadly: On a critical hit, the weapon adds a weapon damage die of the listed size. This damage increases to two dice if the weapon is master quality and three dice if the weapon is legendary.

RAW seems to suggest it is in addition to whatever weapon damage is already being rolled. And listed sized I assume is whatever damage die is after the trait on the weapon entry.

Going back to the first post, I believe 2d6 as an example for the rapier is a mistake.

Also FYI, Fatal trait replaces the weapon damage die.

I'm bringing in a half-orc fighter.. I have him down on paper and will have his character up in 24 hours.. I've dotted in the gameplay earlier, sorry bout that!

Right! I noticed my mistake. I did not realise we have 4 free ability bumps. I had only taken in the ancestry, background, and class. Now that clears things up...

Just to be clear, we can use a pregen or try our hand at creating a character of our own?

Also, GM, I was playing around with a dwarf paladin as well. How did you get 16s in both Str and Con with a 14 in Cha? I can't seem to make that work with the new stat method.

I haven't try to do that math specifically, but just going through my own notes, if I interpret the rules correctly, I can only get one ability to a 16.

Starting in 10 hours or so, I will be travelling for approximately 48 hours to my vacation spot.. please bot me if required during this time. I should be able to remain to normal posting, or even better since i'm free from the burdens of work!

Likely want to test a fighter!

Example of post that I think best represent my PBP style are below:
Brayne hates the outdoors.
Kelumur thinks fast in combat!
Azrael dungeon crawls a secret basement.

GM, didn't see the misfortune hex for their attacks? Separately, why is blue prone?

Blue's not prone, I did a boo boo in counting damage and thought it was unconscious at one point. Will have to correct that. And Also forgot about misfortune on the attack rolls! thanks for highlighting, will put in a retcon in a couple hours.

Thanks for having me here DM S! Looking forward to finally sitting in one of your games! :D

As far as my experience with playtest goes, it's only what I've read in the blogs. My favourite class has been fighter, but i'm extremely excited to try the spellcasting functions in PFS2 and will want to try out a cleric for the playtest.

I'm in a country where Society play is scarce, and Society card game practically nil! Although not as easy to manoeuvre as the actual thing, this has allowed me to scratch that itch I've been having for the game so this is welcoming and very much appreciate how you guys put this together!

In fact, It's got me so pumped I've gone out to buy a few more decks in hope to gain interest in society card game play in my parts!

I would be interested in continuing my ACG character as soon as OutPost ends, believe he'll hit tier 2.

The meeting with the king and queen all happened in a few hours and we are still on the same day for resources, correct?

Correct!

Option 3 fan here, I like the idea of a thank you for your contributions.

Not a fan of a subsidised star system as historical knowledge shouldn't really translate automatically to the new system.

While it's a ways away, it's good stuff like this that helps us understand and contribute to the changes coming. It's much appreciated and looking forward to see what comes of it.

Love these sheets! Much lime the rest, hoping an update comes soon for the newer decks!

I'm a huge fighter fan, as such I'll name a couple fighter archetypes that I've enjoyed experimenting with.
1. Two handed fighter
2. Two weapon fighter
3. Cad
4. Lore warden

And just to sizzle it up, one alchemists archetype:

5. Grenadier

I'm not the first Malaysian on this?

"squeeeeee" The squirrel, obviously distracted by nuts, finds itself trapped.

escape artist: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

However, it squirms it's way out of the foxes grasp with relative ease and climbs up onto the fireplace.
"#£& #&£#& !&£!!!"

@Untir, meant to say fault was with me too. I should have caught the 8XP when doing up the chronicles. Anyway, corrected and uploaded into the link! Catch up with you guys in a week!

A very confused squirrel stands in the middle of the room. "...?"

I'm leaning to bring Brayne if bringing him means we play at higher tier 4 player adjustments due to mid tier APL.

Else if we're full on high tier I'll bring the rogue. Kelumur

Sorry in advance, but I have more questions! Thank you for the earlier explanation on Traders. I was a heavy RotR and SS card game player when it came out but haven't tried anything after, so a lot of this new additions are quite foreign to me.

I noticed the Scourge dice and Scourge table, but am not getting what that is suppose to reference? (besides the lurking spy making a reference to one of the possible scourges) What is this "Scourge" referring to?

I have dotted in. Thanks! I look forward to getting this going. Do we know how we are supposed to play this one, like since Nigel did this last year, is he supposed to act like he knows whats going on or are we supposed to play it like part A never happened?

There has never been an official guidance on this. I'll let you guys decide how you want to play it out, a comical dejavu, rewind time or whatever suits you!

Hey everyone!

I've got two options here:

A natural attack dual cursed oracle 2/barbarian 2: who likes to use "command" when he is not raging.

OR

UnRogue 3 fighter 2: Who is pretty much sneak attack and dirty trick focused, as well as with pretty much all the rogue-like skills.

I am happy to go either way depending on party need.

I also can't seem to find the rule for traders in the guild guide. I just downloaded the latest version 5.0.

Hey guys, while i'm pretty keen to use the Goblin's burn deck, I know that Goblin's can be a bit player unfriendly. Pretty cool powers but causes havoc to friendlies. So just wanted to check if everyone is ok with that, else I'll pull out my other deck, gunslinger.

Where do we look for the "how to PBP for ACG?"

Dotto

Hi all! First time ACG PBP, and really looking forward to it.

My time zone is UTC +8, and I post once at ~5am, and another time at 5-8pm.

I have the goblins burn deck! And I'm keen to use it, perhaps choosing Tup as my character. Otherwise I have the gunslinger deck.

I've leveled up on paper but I've not transfered the information to my alias. As I've doing my local AP run tonight, will need ~24 hours and then i'll get in!

My character is wrapping up and I'm ready to jump in, and looks like it'll be just after you guys finish combat to keep it neat. let me know if you have any preference for entry. Will post updated character details soon.

Thanks for bearing with me!

Just an update from my end, GM says if cards are played right, chronicle can be issued by Monday! So here's hoping I can jump in here soon. If we're already too far ahead, I'm okay to wait till the next scenario or even play for half xp.

I'm guessing Batpony's issue is less the bandwidth to play and more the 'no double-dipping' characters thing in PFS.

Bingo! Alternatively, start without me and I'll jump in when my character is done is also good with me.

I apologize everyone as I am one of those that need to round off my current game. I understand you might be excited to start sooner than later as I know I would be. At the pace we are moving, I anticipate the game to be finished in approximately mid Jan should there be no hiccups.

Please don't let me hold back the start of the scenario, I would be happy to sit out the first scenario, or even play with a pre-gen if needed. my character has currently 5XP, but I can bring him to 9 XP prior to start with an AP chronicle I just finished last night.

Like most folks here, mixed feelings about the outcome but still gladly appreciative that it was handled in a very fair manner for everyone.

What I appreciate the most is being able to rely on my field guide to be able to use the new lore warden. Although PF is relatively inexpensive in the US, for someone in an Asian country who has very unfavourable exchange rates I think long and hard about what I want to buy. So it gladdens me not to need to fish out extra cash.

Just to give an idea, our minimum wage is an equivalent to USD 2/hour.

What tier are you folks looking at? I think I have one for both high and low but they are combat heavy guys with poor charisma.

I don't know anything about PFS, but I would rule that it comes into play when the chase scene description matches the movement type ignored. For instance, if you have Freedom of Movement, it would help you navigate through a web spell or difficult terrain but it would not allow you to skip rolling for a scene that required you to climb.

So yes, the skill is useful, but would not allow you to ignore everything.

This is exactly how I would rule it as well. It would only be fair that special abilities be taken into account into the chase where appropriate. But it does not mean you skip out completely on the chase.

Her voice very much resembles robotic and monotonous little girl. “I am Ilyralene, Lady of the Clouds and loyal servant of the Duke of Thunder. This book is my home and where I keep all my knowledge. If I had to choose a creature, I'd be human.”

Only one. You can see a sample of how it works here.

I guess only rpg for me then! And I just realised the 4 player limit in pacg anyway which I put my name in an invalid spot. This looks very interesting! I'll be keeping an eye on this as I look forward to future pbp pacg!
