Silver Crusade 5/5 *

Hello,

I just finished the last a slot in a local convention. In 2 of the games I played this weekend, players could not fully fill out the sign in sheet because they were still waiting on the chronicle for their last game. In fact in my last slot, had I not pushed forward with a tool I made to create chronicles easily, myself and my wife would have been 2 more (making it 3 at that table) that would have been in that situation.

In fact locally I’ve noticed I hadn’t been getting my chronicle for several days after the sessions, but when I’ve played games in other regions while online I’ve gotten the Chronicles near instantly. (I try to perform like this as well when I am running as well).

My question is this, knowing that in person The Chronicle must be filled out completely before leaving the table, what is an acceptable delay to not have the Chronicle after the game? Or should the GM keep the players at the table, logged in to whatever communication system until they are complete and delivered, thus satisfying the requirement of being complete before leaving the table?

I apologize if this has been asked before, or if my understanding of the interaction is elementary.

If a creature with specialized defenses, such as Resist Physical 3 ( except good or silver ) has a Polymorph effect that turns it into an animal, does it keep those specialized defenses?

This was brought up to me by a PFS Scenario I recently prepared, and I'm uncertain of how it should go.

My girlfriend plays PFS alongside me, asks for help on building her character and usually does what i suggest.

However she came to me with a request, and i dont know how to fulfill it. You see my daughter as been watching Avatar: the Last Airbender, and my girlfirend has decided that she wants Momo as a pet in PFS.

How can i make this happen for her? I know the monkey familiar is legal, but how do i give it wings?

Silver Crusade

This character is a PFS character as such all advice needs be PFS legal.

Nasir is a lv 4 Human (Keleshite) Paladin of Sarenrae, he was rescued from the clutches of slavery by Andoran Freedom Fighters, who literally fought for his freedom, and Nasir feels he owes thier group a life-debt and is therefore Andoran Factioon.

I used my racial +2 in Cha, and have also used my leveling point there

HP 40
AC 19 (touch 13, flat footed 16)

Str 13
Dex 16
Con 14
Int 9
Wis 7
Cha 18

Traits :
Captain's Blade
Illuminator

Feats :
Power Attack
Weapon Finesse
Dervish Dance

What other feats would be suggested?

I currently have him with a Mithril Breastplate, and a +1 scimitar and a few other odds and ends... I am looking at getting the War Kilt of Sarenrae from Qadira, Gateway to the East as well as the +2 Dex Ioun Stone, as it's resonant power is Improved Unarmed Strike while in a Wayfinder.

I was thinking maybe taking Snapping Turtle Style for a shield bump to AC, or Dodge, but any suggestions would be welcome.

I have recently started playing in a local and weekly PFS game, the character i am building is lv 4 with GM credit from games i GMed last year. I have the following question, must be able to be played in the aforementioned game:

Am i able to stack the Oathbound - Oath of Vengeance (from Ultimate Combat) and the Warrior of Holy Light (from Advanced Player's Guide) Paladin Archetypes?

1 person marked this as FAQ candidate.

A player in one of my games came to me with an idea for a charcter he wants to begin playing, but he had some questions and I couldn't answer all of them:

1.) Can you stack Archetypes? (I answered this one as an affirmative, with the exception of if they replace the same feature sited the APG as my source)

1a.) So the Bladebound and Myrmidarch Magus archetypes are stackable? (Affirmative with a mental groan as I saw what he might be trying to do)

2.) I want to use the chakram from Adventurer's Armory, since it is listed under "ranged" can it be used for the blackblade ability for the Bladebound Magus? (I wasn't sure about this one which is why I'm asking)

Any assistance would be apprieciated, thanks.

My gamin group is getting a new player tonight, (Huzzah!) And as such my group I strting new characters.

We decided to play through Master of the Fallen Fortress, I know this is Tier 1, and it technically a module but only playabl by new characters, but I don't see one way or another on whether the characters should be allowed a day job roll.

Can you help me out on this?

Thanks.

Hey there,

I am running multiple game sessions per week, for several groups. There are crossove between the groups.

Tonight I am starting to run "Feast of Ravenmoor" and am anticipating that it will tke 2 sessions for this group to complete.

My questions becomes this; I have 2 players 1 XP away from leveling and they are in other groups of mine during, so if they complete a scenario they will level. If they play the characters they'll have in "Feast of Ravenmoor" should those characters be allowed to level? Or will the gain 2 levels after "Feast of Ravenmoor" completes?

Silver Crusade

This came up in my game this past week:

They found a Spell Storing Scimitar, snce the Magus in my party focuses in them he used it. At the time it was empty and he cast a Vampiric Touch into it.

Later they were fighting the "Boss" of the dungeon they were in and he used an Intesified Shocking Grasp and Spellstrike. He also managed to crit with it. He then asked if he could use the Vampiric Touch at the same time.

At the time I said yes, but it raised more questions.

Is this actually possible?

Does the stored spell crit too?

If he were to have used his Empower or Maximize Arcana would it have affected the stored spell too?

Any answers please site sources, id like to be able to show my players the exact wording so as not to seem like I'm just saying whatever with no back-up beyond "I'm the GM."

Thanks in advance

While reading a combinaton jumped out at me that I was curious how it was intended to work mechanically.

Strike True states that when you attack it is a critical threat, and if he succeeds he does his maximum critical damage on the hit.

Destructive Aura (Cleric ability) states that any critical threats within the aura are automatically confirmed.

My question is: With the combination of these two abilities does this mean when the Samurai attacks (and hits) he then deals maximum damage for critical hit?

I am thinking yes, but I would like input.
