The henchman tyrant troll card states Add 1d8 to checks to defeat the tyrant troll using the fire trait. If the check to defeat does not have either the fire or acid trait, the tyrant troll is undefeated. I presume this to mean that you must 1st have the means to deliver damage with the fire trait and then you get to add the extra die, and that if you only have the acid trait you get no bonus, and if you have neither you can beat the troll and avoid damage but as usual the troll is shuffled back in the location deck. Am i correct? As always thanks for any replies...
The scenario card says to pick a random open location and look at the top card each turn after advancing the blessings deck. I took this as being for each character (I play 4 characters). This made it quite easy as i did not have to use blessings so much to explore. Was this correct or did it mean to treat a turn like the poison cloud card which lasts until the casters next turn. Or am i playing that wrong? I ran into the villian the last card available, on the last card on the blessing deck, but as i said i could have speeded that up using blessings to explore more than i did. Anyway, a great time as always, this game is just awesome!!! Thanks in advance for all polite replies, flames get laughed at :-)))
I think that adventure pack 3 answers all the complaints i have read about this game. The game has gotten harder in villains, henchman, monsters, and barriers, the mechanic to close scenarios has been changed up in at least two cases, the back story continues to amuse! I just opened the box, read an amusing write up about merisal and the pig, and just happen to have the whole week off to send my 3 squads of adventurers to Hook Mountain. Just hope that it doesn't become a massacre after all :-)))
I am just starting in pathfinder after buying the PACG. What exactly is the pathfinder society and what is its function? There also appears to be some sort of hierarchy involved as there are different forums below this one. :edit:what is the grand lodge? What do you have to do to join in and progress in theses groups? Oh obviously i understand that these are not in the card game but the RPG milieu. Everything else is unclear...thanks in advance
If you PC has one blessing and 1 ally can he explore 3 times in the same turn ? If you fail to defeat a monster or aquire a boon and you can play a card to explore can you or is that turn over.? At the town square you can discard a card to explore, again can you do this multiple times on the same turn? Again common sense says yes to all of these, please correct me if i am wrong.
In the poison pill most of the location cards start with monsters 1st and barriers 2cd except for sandpoint cathedral and town square. My question is are just the titles inverted or the complete entry with how many of each also inverted. I am playing the cards exactly as written regardless of order until i hear different. mike said to use common sense after all.
And i really can't believe all the people who say it is too easy. Haven't made it thru the 1st scenario yet but after a try with 3 PC in which i did not use cards to explore enough i obviously ran of time. And the i tried to get the fighter thru solo and the barriers did thier job just too well. I also just rolled badly, working with 1D10 + 1D8 + 4 and stlill gettin only 8 or 9, well it was a frustrating debut. But i think i got the mechanics down, and am really glad that it is no cakewalk, i am really having fun with it. Tomorrow i will ho back to 3 PC and try to use more blessings to search more ans ee if that helps.
Man think the BGG is a great site but finding anything on it is like pulling teeth. Looked on the forums there and nothing is like any other site i have been on. Usually there is an area that says talk about games or something like that and then a list of games. I know that there is at least one forum over there discussing this game but i can not find it. Could someone provide a link to the beginning of it please?
Seem to be fantastic! The only concern i had was that i would get tired of the content coming out so spread apart. Now it looks like i will be running 1 group of characters thru the offical content and another thru all the fan generated content. I was going to skip the character pack until christmas but am thinking i will want it sooner.. I think self made cards are in order as well as at least one comes up with dopplegangers to fight! Here is a thank you in advance for all of your efforts. I intend to have a notebook to write down the particulars so i am not tied to the internet.
So if i remember they said they would not bill until shipped. I signed up 2 days ago and the 1st charge already hot my account, i got no email mentioning that they billed me and when i could expect shipment, though i gather from other posts that some got emails saying shipping between the 18th and 25th. So what gives, they are going to bill me in the 12th and wait until the 25th to ship? On a similar vein, in another post i read where they said all the printing for all the sets are already done. They must really got a good idea of how much they are going to sell or they could either run out or get stuck with a warehouse full. They seem to have been in business for a long while so i am presuming that they know what they are doing.
So with my basic set not showing up until next friday i am looking at videos and reading forums so i can get a jump on the learning curve. I had been under the impression that you ended a scenario badly by either running out of time or your PC dying, in either case you shuffle the decks including the PC's and try again. BUT that only goes in the 1st adventure! After that if your PC dies, he is gone for good and you have to start with Burnt Offerings again. Wow, in 8 months, halfway thru the last adventure of the path, my fighter dies, 1, the table will be possibly be thrown against the wall, 2. I will get horribly drunk, and the entire family will be expected to attend the wake. 3' I will miss a day at work ( sorry boss, death in the family ). Even back in the day when i played D & D, our group played modules of different degrees of levels, and either used the canned characters that came with them or rolled a new one for that module. I had 1 character, that i used from module to module if his current level was correct that was referred to as " the black cat" because he died 9 times before i stopped using him ( it was a running joke everytime he me made an appearance especially if he died). This is going to be a long week.....
In a video one of the designers mentioned that scenarios do not take much longer with 4 players compared to s solo effort. So has anyone tried running 4 characters as a solo game and how did it work for them? Especially how long did it take? Next friday my base set will be in my hand and a subscription is set up for the expansions to be shipped on release. I will get the player pack for christmas. I haven't felt this much anticipation for anything in a long time |
