Thanks everyone for the advice. I may just stick with the Dwarven fighter I played during test play last year. Simpler at the moment. LOL But I am going to look at what everyone suggested and figure out what I want. Maybe after I watch the other players.
I was just informed by a friend that rogues don't do ranged attacks like D&D, So I'm open to Ranger.
So shortbow is better? That's what I started out playing on 5e.
I've been playing a D&D 5e rogue assassin archer and want to build a Pathfinder 2e equivalent. Here's the character I'm currently playing. What's the Pathfinder 2 version of this character? Should I go goblin, elf or halfling?
And would a Piton Carrier be part of the package when buying pitons?
An Ice Piton might also work good.
A Nail Piton might fit the bill.
Not sure if they would be sturdy enough to block a door. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piton Maybe the Medium size Angle would.
I asked this question of Paizo on Twitter and they suggested that I ask it here. ---------------- I see hammer listed in the Table 6-12 of the Playtest but I don't see an Iron Spike. How is a player suppose to spike a door and can we use Iron Spike from the Player's Handbook?
This would be great for my axe throwing Dwarven fighter. Thanks.
I'm going to play a Dwarven fighter in Pathfinder Playtest and I would love to add a funny quirk to the character but I doubt it will be possible. I would love for my character to have a magic item called an "Endless Beer Mug of Nothingness". It would be a metal beer mug that when my PC dropped coins into it, it magically refilled with "beer" that he could drink. The beer wouldn't quench any thirst or cool down the drinker or fill the belly or have any nutritional value. It would basically be there to satisfy his desire to constantly drink and allow for comedic moments. And allow me to roleplay in character at the table with a metal beer mug. =) It would be great if Paizo could create this as a funny Pathfinder Society scenario reward for Dwarves.
I created these to help me GM the "Perils of the Pirate Pact" scenario. Enjoy. Perils of the Pirate Pact Script
Parfinder, hoooooo!
I added a rope to the PC's papercraft ship so that they can get to the crow's nest and also swing to the other ship from the ship's wheel. I added 1 inch marks to the rope and it's 35 feet from the bottom to the top. Just within range of a double movement. If a PC wants to swing from one ship to the next, how do I let them do that? How do I GM that and how do I determine failure?
After reading the scenario, I decided to do most of this act without a map. I tend to write up scripts when I GM and here's how I handled this encounter. THE VENOMOUS WOODS: THE VENOMOUS WOODS
Act 3 (no map needed) Before Encounter GM: Following the encounter on board the Hanspur’s Luck, the expedition resumes its course. The next morning, Lady Riverbane anchors her ship and leads you ashore. She gives you a very simple map that leads you to the place where the Black Marquis’s men are thought to be in the Venomous Woods. LADY RIVERBANE: MY MEN AND I WILL STAY WITH THE SCRAG TO ENSURE THAT SHE DOESN’T FALL TO BRIGANDS OR ABOMINATIONS. WE DON’T WANT OUR ONLY WAY BACK TO BE GONE. GM: You penetrate the eerie depths of the ancient forest alone. The journey from the shores of the Sellen River to the location marked on Riverbane’s map takes four hours at normal walking speed. Dense masses of leafage impose an eerie twilight of dark green while forlorn trees speak of a bygone age where humans wrestled for survival in a land of darkness. Many thick sheets of giant webbing stretch like great shrouds around the gaunt trees and groveling bushes. --------------------------------------------------------------
GM: The area is a maze of tree trunks, bushes, undergrowth, and webs. Encounter 1 (Trap) GM: You have walked a few minutes without incidence but I need everyone to give me perception checks. Trap (page 9) After Encounter GM: Covered in gooey webbing at the bottom of the pit lies the broken corpse of one of the Black Marquis’s men. Give me a Perception check. Mission Notes: A DC 10 Perception check notices that the corpse at the bottom of the maze’s first pit trap is missing its left hand. For members of the Cheliax faction, this feature identifies the body as that of Larkus Lockinvar. Obviously, the man is already dead, and all that’s needed now is to chop off his right hand. This requires first lowering oneself into the pit, and performing a DC 13 Strength check to free the corpse from the webbing. GM: As you venture deeper into the maze, you spot a few more dead bodies hanging upside-down in giant spider webs—all members of the ill-fated expedition.
GM: Navigating the labyrinth isn’t a simple task. Everyone give me two consecutive Survival checks. Note: Two consecutive DC 15 Survival checks are required for the PCs to successfully cross the labyrinth. Failing two of these checks in a row means that the party comes across another trap. Because all of these traps are of similar design, their associated DC Search check gets reduced by 3 each time.
Are these 100% custom made boats or are they an available product? The only thing that's not custom is the deck but it's a vector conversion of the floor plan from the scenario. I didn't create my own because I orignaly only had three days to create the boats from scratch.
I'm running "Perils of the Pirate Pact" this Friday and I'm having trouble visualizing Act 3 (The Venomous Woods). How do I go about drawing this map? Also, I've created papercraft model ships for this scenario. Check them out here.
Check out my latest papercraft models.
I'll be GMing "Perils of the Pirate Pact" next week and I decided to go all out and create papercraft models of the ships. I've posted photos on my blog.
Thanks. I enjoyed that scenario and I hope more use a bridge so I can reuse this.
Wonderful and how funny as I am running that scenario in a few hours. Can you get those to me by then? Sorry but it's not ready for download yet.
I'll release the Illustrator files in the near future.
I've thought about that and need to reduce the file size of the PDF (410 megs).
Cyxodus, did you play a pregen in your first PFS game? I ask only because your gear is worth more than 150 gp and you have a wand of cure light wounds. It would also explain how close your initial build was to Kyra. I GMed a few games and had two chronicles to apply to this character. I wouldn't know how close it is to Kyra because I've never played that character.
@Gauss...Heavy Armor Proficiency.
Thanks everyone and I'm liking this character. I'll try her tonight...if weather permits.
Being I selected Birthmark, does that mean the character can now wield a shield?
Here's the revised stat block. =====================
You don't need to take Martial Weapon Proficiency; clerics automatically get proficiency with their deity's favoured weapon. Hero Lab was screwing things up and I thought that was the only way to get it. I figured out how to add it permanently to the character.
@Mergy...So how would you player this character in a fight?
@ Mergy & Kyoni....I've changed my character based on your suggestions. ==============================
Also, how does a cleric use a holy symbol?
See I told you I don't know what I'm doing. I guess I want to play a healer that's an alt tank. Any suggestions?
Here's what I've got so far. ===================================
What do you want your cleric to focus on? Is he a spellcaster? Does he buff the party first and foremost, or does he assault the enemy? Is he a melee character: someone who makes use of his scimitar (or other favoured weapon if you change your mind on god)? I don't know enough about clerics to know what style to play. Maybe a mix of fighter and healer. Don't know. Thanks everyone for your help. Please keep the suggestions coming.
Opps! This is for PFS.
Why would I need two bless? How does that work?
@Axebeard,,,Thanks. I forgot to equip the scale mail in Hero Lab, so that brings my AC up by +5 and I bought a shield, so that adds +2 also. AC is now 18.
Here's what I've come up with so far. What do you all think? ==========================
I need to quickly build a cleric for tomorrow night's Society game (6/1/2012) and your help is greatly needed. I've never built or played a cleric before, so please nothing too complicated. Also, how do I play a cleric? I've started working on the character but nothing is set in stone. Here's the stat block. ===================================
--------------------
I'll be running Infernal Vault this Saturday in Danville, Va from 2:00-6:00 pm. If anyone is interested, please check out the event listing. http://paizo.com/pathfinderSociety/events/v5748mkg0a42t Meetup Page
I believe Walter is correct. In PFS you must run adventures as written. If the players are in a losing battle and decide to surrender, and the adventure does not cover this situation, it is up to the GM to decide the outcome - whether that is paying a ransom, losing all their "good" stuff, being sold into slavery and taken out of play, being beaten and left for dead (or possibly surviving), or being killed outright. Thanks for the info.
