Damatros "The queen did say she wishes we resolve this peacefully and the goblins may recognize the mastermind the see them. But..."

Damatros studies the goblin to determine if the goblins are being honest.

Sense Motive - Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

Shift-Tide is after Damatros per Initiative so there should be +1 attack & +1 Damage on Shift Tide's rolls due to Courageous Anthem

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

"Be careful around here. I will take a look"Damatros says

Arcana: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Damatros begins to sing a calming song

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

GODLESS ARCANIST

Damatros offers to assist

Thievery: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

HIGH MATRIARCH

Damatros continues to help the Matriarch to show the pions how to much better she is.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19

I will use my hero point on the crit fail Planar Engineer. I guess the engineer does not like the US Navy. lol

Greetings Lieutenant Surkzin. I am a little rusty on planar magic but I am curious about your thoughts.

Arcana: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

THE FEY LADY

Damatros greets the Fey Lady in the language of Fey. He mentions he cannot recall much of his early years, but he vaguely remembers some stories and songs of when his ancestors lived in the First World and walked with the fey. He tries to sing one of the fey songs he remembers

Performance: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

Please note I have the fey fellowship feat so I have +2 circumstance bonus to both Perception checks and saving throws against fey should it come up later in the game.

THE COVEN MATRIARCH

I assume each talk with a "contractor" is a different social situation so I will be recasting "Know the Air" cantrip before each Diplomacy check giving me a +1 status bonus on Diplomacy roll to make an impression. If not eligable please remove 1 point from Diplomacy rolls

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

THE GODLESS ARCANIST

Damatros tries to help Firozet relax with a few tricks he has picked up in his travels.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

THE PLANAR ENGINEER

At ease Lieutenant. What are your ideas for this operation?

Arcana: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

THE DWARVEN MACHINIST

Greetings, I have an appreciation for the use of gunpowder in weapons. Damatros shows Ivinder his Gnome Amalgam Musket. I am curious how you will use similar technology in your current endeavor/

Crafting: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

THE WITCHWARG PACKMASTER

Realistically I do not see how a 3.5ft gnome dressed as a traveling entertainer could intimidate a Witchward that is most likely a foot taller than him so I would like to aid another player's Nature or Survival roll using "Uplifting Overture" cantrip. I can try an intimedation roll if needed as I am untrained in all 4 options.

Performance: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26 to aid

or if I cannot aid:

Intimidation: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Damatros casts "Read the Air" as he steps from behind his fellow Pathfinders

"Greeting your Majesty. I know nothing of this train and my crafting knowledge is limited but new innovation often brings change and thus chaos. Handled correctly chaos can be fun and certain to keep the Bleaching away."

I currently have no plans to be a DM/GM but will be starting to play online. Do I need licenses as a player for ant online play sites:

Foundry
Fantasy Grounds
Roll20
Other PFS online play sites?

It looks like Seattle will be banning gatherings of 250 or more people. Not sure how long it will last

Can boon tokens be saved to following year?. Not sure I will have energy at 5am to go on 3hr bus ride to play 1 game and turn in tokens for a chance at a boon. Hot called in to work Sat & Sun night in Everett.

Work called me in Sat & Sun night so will miss several games. Any plans for games after 1pm on Monday?

Looks like I will be selling the ticket Friday or the 1st half of Sat before I leave for work.

One of my my employers put me on schedule for Sat & Sunday evening. I am trying to get out of 1 or both nights but not certain. I know it is too late to get refund of the banquet. If I can't get out of my Sat night shift am I permitted to sell my banquet ticket or is putting it on event trade table my only option.
Regardless of job I still plan to attend all day Friday, 8-1 game Sat, and hopefully 8-1 game Monday.

Two questions about the 2nd edition games.
1. As the book isn't released until September, is there a tip sheet we can review before hand to minimize gameplay delay or is this a learn as we go?
2. Will there be a Chronicle sheet or boon good for 2nd edition, a token toward boon table, or just playing for the fun and experience?

Are the pre-gens the standard pathfinder pre-gens or specific/special. In case I need 1 as main and/or aids I would like to know the character some.

Any word on registration and store hours or too early?

Sorry for reposting but figured this spot is read more.

Are the premade characters the standard PFS pre-mades prevent only ones? I hope to have my 1st lvl 5 by game time so I will have 0 and characters and may even not have my 1st by then.

Community / Forums / Paizo / PaizoCon / [PaizoCon 2019] Pathfinder Society Scenario #10-98: Siege of Gallowspire (for levels 5-6, SOLDIER) - Sunday evening, 7:00-11:59 pm All Messageboards

Are the premade characters the standard PFS pre-mades prevent only ones? I hope to have my 1st lvl 5 by game time so I will have 0 and characters and may even not have my 1st by then.

1 please for David Tull. Will be there Friday morning.

If you get a room at the DoubleTree there is upgrade option for $30 that has free self parking, free in room wifi, and free breakfast voucher. Their breakfast buffet is normally $23 for that meant $7 for parking and in room wifi.

I don't know if it is too early if there is somewhere already to look for sharing/splitting the cost of a room. $130 plus tax for a room with 2 beds is a bit much for a single person.

Just bought my tickets. Now hopefully find someone willing to splint room costs, splurge on my own room, travel to and from Everett by bus, or go 4 days with little to no sleep. lol Fun

never mind it has been solved

Is there an issue with the Paizocon page or store. I click add to cart on ticket and banquet but neither show in my cart. I click on event and it leads to non paizocon store page.

Is this a hunt where late arrivals have lower chance to win or is this where everyone that completes the hunt wins somethi g.

More readable now.
Name:David Tull
Beds Available:1
Nights Available:26th & 27th
Total Cost: $150

What is the rule or guidelibe if we wish to drop a game late (such as of we find unscheduled activities like the Delvs I read about)

Buy soda outside of seattle.

It is not a regular retail location but as I heard Paizo will have some of their store there and maybe other vendors (live maybe Hero Lab) that retail is still a chance.

How will the retail boon work. 1 receipt good for the whole day, for any single game the same day, or for the game immediate after purchase.

I have a 2 queen-size bed reservation for Sat & Sun. My cost will be abt $258+taxes total (not counting optional add-ons). So I have a bed available for 2 nights for $150 + any add-on.

Revision on my prior post. I will be there Fridat morning as registration will be closed when I get off work.

What time is opening Friday. I wouldnt be able to make it till after 7pm Friday but I may try stopping by before I head to work.

Not sure what this is but I will take a chance. Name is David Tull and I will arrive Friday evening.

As I can not find one, here is a thread for people sharing or looking for shared rooms. Suggested post could be:

Name:
Seeking or Possessing room
Beds Available or needed:
Cost/night:
Nights available or needed:

Is there a forum area for people looking to split a room? $130+tax per night for a room that has 1 king or 2 queen beds is a bit much for just 1 person.

I am creating a level 2 PFS Kitsune Unchained rogue (Chronicle boost gives me instant lvl 2). Current set up is

Str 8
Dex 16
Int 16
Con 13
Wis 14
Cha 12

Point Blank Shot - Precise Shot - Weapon Finesse

The general idea is a treasure hunting / archeologist rogue.

A lot of posts say bows are better than crossbows but I have a -1 Str. Should I stick with crossbows to avoid penalty, not be a ranged melee, or take a chance with bows. I am also debating on swapping Wis on Con. I like the +2 on Wis for perception but I know the +2 on Con would keep me alive a little longer

Any other tips are welcome

I had no plan to lie. just that I am using to Assult on Absolom boon to start at lvl 2. His having been a slave he will be hesitant to revel more than he has to. Of course if any of the party completed the Assult I may mention that I may appear vaguely familiar. As a rogue I may not have much of a chance to use my DC bonus or have favored enemy.

Also I may want to try some light fun with the party in the beginning.

I am creating a Kitsune Unchained Rogue. As a kitsune has human form and +10 disguise to appear human, would in be reasonable to suggest the GM have everyone roll to see if they notice anything, do nothing until I have reason to change and surprise them, or does PFS etiquette say I should tell my party during introductions. Will probably introduce him as a level 2 during House of Harmonious Wisdom.

With the upcoming new faction Concordance of Elements dealing with elements planes, any idea if 1 or more of the elemental races will become open (not need a chronicle sheet)?

I saw a blog post showing all 3 play staff coming to Emerald City Comic Con. Paizo though is not currently listed on the ECCC website or App and there is nothing on Warhorn. Is there any information available to about if there will be PFS or SFS games and schedules?

I am creating a half-elf bard and came across an situation. I recall we can not not put more points into a skill than our hit die or level. But given that traits and other things give us free points I was wondering what the max number of skill points with bonuses.

Here is an example:
Performance
Inital point 1
Class Skill 3
16 Charisma 3
Skill Focus 3

Total 10

Is this right? I relize I could add more with traits and feats.

As these seem to be from old factions am I am I able to use both Cleaver Wordplay and. Muscle of the Society for my Elf Investigator, only 1, or neither. These are from Pathfinder Society Primer. I am trying to choose my 2 traits but am out of cash after buying Core book, Advanced Class, Advanced Race, and Primer. My other trait intrest is Ancient Historian so I can have 2 ancient languages with 1 skill point spent.

I am creating an Elf Investigator and am stuck with a choice. The first is choice between starting with Envoy Elf ( detect magic as sla) and have identify extracts or save for discerning wayfinder.

I have a weird RAW interaction that I hope someone with more esoteric knowledge of all the systems can untangle.

Say that you have an Inquisitor Sacred Huntsmaster. That archetype gives up some judgements to get a pet like the Hunter. Specifically "This ability works as the hunter class feature of the same name, using her inquisitor level as her hunter level."

The animal companion entry specifically says that "If a character receives an animal companion from more than one source, her effective druid levels stack for the purposes of determining the companion’s statistics and abilities."

Usually that wouldn't be a problem... except that an Inquisitor with the Animal Domain is granted an animal companion as part of their domain at level 4. As far as I can tell, that means that the Inquisitor at level 4 could have a level 5 Animal Companion, at level 5 they'd have a level 7 AC, and so on until level 12 at which time the Animal Companion is level 20.

Other than DM Fiat, is there anything that rules out this interaction? Some google search I did treats this interaction as fact, but it seems very powerful.

I have run into a weird situation, and all of my google-fu and PHB indexing has not been able to help me.

One of my players is running a monk and has on several occasions attempted to use grappling or pulling to get allies out of danger. I approve of the creativity but I'm not sure how it comes out rules wise.

There have been a couple scenarios that have come up so far.

1. A mudlord had an ally grappled and covered in mud while the ally was unconscious. The monk wanted to know if he grappled the mudlord and moved the mudlord away from the monk's grappled ally, would the mudlord lose his grapple on the his target. I ruled yes at the time (I figured the mud holding him would get pulled away) as I wasn't able to quickly find an answer with the resources on hand.

2. A large water elemental rose up behind the party and thanks to greater cleave it began to beat the crap out of the squishies. The sorcerer was looking particularly bad, and because of the reach of the elemental was unable to easily get out of range without provoking AoO. The monk, who has pretty good defenses, wanted to know if he could grapple the sorcerer and force his movement away from the large water elemental, taking the AoO on himself. This one I was a lot shakier on, and said that while grapple and pull actions exist, and forced movement doesn't provoke, I'm not sure about targeting an ally with either of those actions. It was a moot point because the creature had already taken an AoO that round, but as the monk is being played as being a selfless combat maneuver guy I suspect it will come up again.

So my questions are:

1. Can a grappler lose their grapple if they themselves get grappled and pulled from the target?

2. Can an ally be the target of a grapple or pull combat manuever, and if so, would only the person forcing the movement be a valid target of an AoO?

3. If an ally is a valid target of maneuvers like grapple or pull, can the voluntarily not resist? So the grapple/pull automatically succeeds?

4. Side question, I have not been able to find a good definition for "foe" or "opponent" or "enemy" as far as Pathfinder is concerned. Is it entirely subjective?

5. What actions can be done to move an unconscious hero in battle? Say, if they are actively drowning in water and mud, or taking area damage?

Thanks in advance for any help. I've been DMing Pathfinder weekly for 3 or more months now and once a month for almost a year and I still feel like there's a lot to learn.
