Per pure RAW it is impossible but usually you can allowed since RAI if a creature is grabbing you it is in your reach, you can attack the limb is using for example. It even says it in the rules: https://2e.aonprd.com/Rules.aspx?ID=445
Does someone knows a vampire? i wanna get biten so i can Gming all the Adventure Paths in my lifetime! So far Age of Ashes and Extinction Curse done!
If you're prerolling it might be nice to also number your pawn bases. That's useful anyway for keeping your HP ledger straight, but also makes it easier to run distinct initiatives for similar enemies. I preroll all enemies initiative, and numbering the pawns base is indeed essencial!
I've got a question about the Doblagubs in Fortune's Hall. Do PC's need to save against each Doblagub's Etheric Strands aura individually? That is how it looks to me, and that is r.o.u.g.h. RAW they would save against each aura indidually, on the other hand you can rule that they will only do one save in the space each aura overlaps.
Reading the encounter and the area of it, it appears that there is a way for the pcs to take control of the aeon stones, and if one pc has it, there is one less stone to help the final boss. In the end it seems the party restores the stones.
I did this encounter on our last session, from my point of view, you initially pick a area in the 120 feet aura of erosion of the Guthallath, and then each round after the hazard falls, you pick another "central point" of that area to be the next where the rocks would fall. For my party it was hard encounter, the erosion aura, and the ability of the Guthallath to grab pcs and throw them up and away...
Despite the PC death, that sounded like a whole of fun!!! Awesome!
I was worried also because, before this AP, we did AoA, and well, they were hating the slavers with a passion. In this case they swallow that hard pill for a greater good (getting the orb). Of course it was even harder because the party cleric is from Pharasma, and so many undead... He just release some tension when they met the banshes, it was like this Banshee - Lets do a musical contest!
He for me felt weak, but on the other hand that Utter Despair aura played havok on my party, they hated that, so it was a hard fight for them, and they loved when he went finally down. Also having in casting initially mislead, well, the party is going to have problems just discovering where he really is...
No problemo. I'm just happy if some GM in the future will come across your wonderful handouts and find them useful. Hello from the future, this is one GM that will do use of this awesome work when i do start the AoE campaign (probably late 2022/start 2023. First going to start book 6 of EC.
How did you guys manage the pair of grikkitogs? I managed by not using them at all... After seeing the use of one in Age Of Ashes, i would not put my party in a encounter like that once again.
Clearly lots of changes to the plot, any reason why such a massive strike against the city?
Holla, I'm new aboard! My favorite one is book 4. The paladins have to survive at the cost of their life, and it seems to me that this book has the most scenes where it emphasizes sacrifices and friendships. Glad to be here! Hello, i think you are mistaking something, this is the forum for the RPG Pathfinder Second Edition, in this case the question of the topic was regarding the Age of Ashes adventure path, does not have any relation with the AGE OF ASHES book series...
I understand the assumption, hope that they made a new party. Mine is now in the begginning of Book 5
Keep going! I am lucky to have a weekly campaign game that i am the GM, we rarely failed a weekend.
Why did you swallow the whole party? The monster has Swallow Whole with the maximum size Large, one could assume he could have space inside to swallow 2 medium creatures, but the whole party?
Thank you all for your help, i am the GM in a Adventure Path where i have a Giant Instinct Barbarian and just wanted to have a doubt cleared, he will get a new toy ;)
So, maybe i am reading too much on this, but i have a doubt. "You can use a weapon built for a Large creature if you are Small or Medium (both normally and when raging). If you’re not Small or Medium, you can use a weapon built for a creature one size larger than you. You gain access to this larger weapon, which can be of any weapon type otherwise available at character creation. It has the normal Price and Bulk for a weapon of its size (page 295). When wielding such a weapon in combat, increase your additional damage from Rage from 2 to 6, but you have the clumsy 1 condition (page 618) because of the weapon’s unwieldy size. You can’t remove this clumsy condition or ignore its penalties by any means while wielding the weapon." So this means the Barbarian gets access to one weapon built for a large creature, let's say a greataxe and with that weapon he gets the rage bonus. Could for he instance after any number of levels, get another weapon built for a large creature like a greatsword or a gauntlet and also get the rage bonus?
It is more of a GM think of a reason, in my case i had them being contacted by someone (representing Vandy) looking for a travelling circus for a tour in the Swardlands
I would have played with theater of the mind, in my Campaign the rogue discovered and disable it.
The party i was the GM during all the AP, it was vital to them having a dedicated combat healer, in their case a Cleric
For a easy mode i agree with what you are saying, but concerning the Antecipation of the first show, it is no big deal if they did not manage it, the later shows on would be easy to do it. Also i advice that you put a tag of spoilers in the title of the thread.
I keep forgetting to post it but here it goes. The Campaign i was the GM was played between 26/10/2019 and 23/01/2021. It lasted 62 sessions, we played live the first 19 sessions, and then we changed to Roll 20 because Covid happened, we had few live sessions after that. 1 Death happened in the campaign and a few close calls, specially one in the quarry where a TPK almost happened. The 4 pcs: Nelka ended as a 20th level Human Cleric of Sarenrae, Morgrym ended as a 20th level Dwarven Fighter Omgot No-Ta-Gain ended as a 20th level Goblin Rogue (Racket Thief) Seoni (my wife loves this iconic so she was Seoni, and yes, she picked the arcane tatoos..) ended as a 20th level Human Sorcerer
How in this case is a free move every turn? They have to command the animal companion, so they would spend one actionYou can do that with a Mature Animal companion, too. Wow, I totally missed that part in the feat, and the druid in the party I am Gming also! She is my wife, I am doomed!

I can atest to this, The Party i am Gming did all of AoA and when those sweet when it's a sucess it's a critical success appeared, yes, Evasion was awesome, the Rogue had no problem in being in the area of the Sorcerer fireball! And the other same abilities for Constitution and Will also did the same way. I am now in Book 3 of Extinction Curse, keep loving Dming PF2!
Is this only me or did the Axe family critical specialization was missed in the two erratas? The potency rune in there should mention the striking rune. The original phrase was from the playtest where the potency rune did increase the number of damage dice. "Critical Specialization Effect (Axe) Choose one creature adjacent to the initial target and within reach. If its AC is lower than your attack roll result for the critical hit, you deal damage to that creature equal to the result of the weapon damage die you rolled (including extra dice for its potency rune, if any). This amount isn’t doubled, and no bonuses or other additional dice apply to this damage."
Name of PC: Dwunli
Loved this report, i am gming my party through Extinctio Curse but i do love to see how others react during AoA.
Ok, i was just curious, i like to read your session reports!
The use of the two magic missile spellstrike arrows (crafted by Jack and Zol immediately prior to them entering Jewelgate) really turned the tide of the battle against Kelleni. Rocco did just over one hundred points of damage in round one, and the battle was over at the end of round two. You did homebrew the spellstrike arrows? Because, RAW they could not do that.
Nice all ended well, the party i Gming is going for the last chapter of book 2.
Ops, i read the circumstances wrong, though the fight was the one in the temple.
So he died because the party did not do enough healing before what was probably one hard fight, and then he took damage from a book that wasn't in the room?
I must say that when i run this fight there was just the AP version and my players did suffer a little in this fight, even if one of the Calikangs died of fright in the first round...
What if he attacks just ONE target? He cannnot make all atacks on one target at the same MAP, there is a difference between the creature in the AP and how the creature now is, instead of a "can" now is a "must", and that changes everything http://2e.aonprd.com/Monsters.aspx?ID=1089
The creature reads now as follows that strike: Sixfold Flurry Two Actions The calikang makes up to two longsword Strikes and up to four fist Strikes. Each Strike must be against a different target. These attacks count toward the calikang's multiple attack penalty, which doesn't increase until after all the attacks are complete. For 1 round, the calikang gains a circumstance bonus to their AC equal to the number of Strikes they choose not to take, to a maximum of +4 for taking only two Strikes.So each strike MUST be against a different target, the first form was not corrected and received errata. http://2e.aonprd.com/Monsters.aspx?ID=1089
Yes, for the cost of two actions he can do potentially six strikes if all of them are at different targets, and if it is the first attack he is doing in his turn, all of the attacks will be at the highest attack. Also the exact wording is that he can do two longsword strikes and up to four fist strikes In that battle one of them was scared to death by one of my players, happy days!
In the Heist chapter there is mention of some of the slave buyers that will appear, the players do not have the funds to compete with it, you can pass that info to them, when they investigate more about the auction.
A situation like that happened in that same AP i think the OP is Gming and i am also, even if i managed a nice Deception roll, of course the party would be suspicious for n reasons, in that AP and in that moment they would got info that a suspicious women would have caused lots of problems before, so of course meeting a "helpless scholar women" in a luxurious room after battling monsters was veryyyyy suspicious indeed.
What they did? They try to see through the lie and failed, so they went and deal with the other menaces on that room, while the poor women was behind the party having running from the monsters of course, the party was keeping an eye on her of course, then the succubus tried to use her dominate on the barbarian of the party (the big dude with the large greataxe), when she saw that things were going poorly for the pets she had in that room, failed that and then the party went also after her. From my point of view my party did well, at the point in the AP they KNEW there was a women that went into that zone after doing lots of damage in another area of the AP, so if they would not be suspicious that would be the strange thing. But since it could have been true what she was saying, since she appeared being sincere, they act as such, and of course being ready for a treason act because the situation was still suspicious!
Loved this, and the part about Roll 20, my players also hate that dice roller!
Rico The Bold, if you ever came to sunny Portugal i will buy you a drink! Awesome advive that one! Made my day!
I am also in that step, i will do also a bigger ceremony, and including some minor speeches from NPCS they helped in the town.
Hi James, i am now doing Extinction Curse for my players, one of them is a Barbarian (Giant Instinct) and he has the No Escape feat.
From what i rememember (i am doing now Extinction Curse for my party), it all went smoothly, they made it without a single fight, the mechanics behave nicely.
For conditions with levels, when you going to put the icon on a token if you press a number while hovering over the icon of the condition it will put that condition with that number on it.
What do you mean by exhausted from dancing? And Gnome?
For me as a GM, 2E is awesome in terms of playing time during battles, i played AoA all the way, and even high level battles were fast, the party could do 4 battles of those in the same session (we usually do around 5 hours of game time). You really notice the difference in speed when you go higher levels! Love it! So more rounds of combat in PF2, but less time in real life with those rounds!
Started reading this to run it. Surely written by an American. Villain has sabotaged the safety nets. Obviously the correct thing to do is to postpone the act until the equipment can be repaired, or improvise some solution to find new nets, but the XP reward is for continuing the act and convincing the performer to go on regardless. It's like the Jaws movie when the shark attacks and they don't close the beach. I will do it differently and award points for any solution in line with the players alignment. It was exactily what i tough! My party refused to put them doing the same thing they were doing under the Mistress Dusklight, so what i did was i gave the extra two excitment anyway, divided one extra for the Vipers encounter, and another extra for the gamblers.
As a GM when i played high level (i have done AoA all the way) it was smooth all the way, PF2 is awesome for that!
