Francisco Cisneros's page

A tall, wiry, human male walks into the room. His age is indeterminate, but he is obviously no spring chicken based on the crow's feet around his eyes and the flecks of gray in the long hair that cascades out from under his broad-brimmed hat. He is wearing traveller's clothes, covered with the dust of the road. His longbow is strapped across his back, while a scimitar and vicious-looking dagger hang from either hip. When he speaks, his voice is is gravelly, like one who has smoked too many cigarettes and drank too much whiskey.

I am Francisco Cisneros, inquisitor of Sarenrae. Not long ago, it was more likely I would have been one of the hunted instead of one of the hunters. However, Sarenrae opened my eyes and put me on the path to redemption. Now I feel it is my duty to help others redeem themselves. I place myself in the service of the Silver Crusade. May the gods have mercy on our enemies' souls.

No, I want to stay with a good deity. I'm going to stick with Sarenrae because it gives me a good hook for a backstory with her being the goddess of redemption.

Yeah, after the first encounter I was thinking we probably should have played up. Although a couple of the players at the table didn't understand group tactics very well and it's entirely possible the 2nd encounter would have killed at least one of us.

With all of the ranged attacks we had, the 3rd encounter would have been cake no matter what, I think. The rogue may not have survived the whack from the boss at tier 4-5, though.

I think if we had had either a true tank or a true healer, I would have said play up. With neither of those (and after reading horror stories about Season 4 scenarios on these here boards), playing down seemed safer.

It's funny that the decision basically came down to me, though, since i was the character with the least to lose.

If you're interested, the person who introduced me to PFS is looking to GM a home game, probably with PFS rules, and we need at least 1 more player. We'll all be making new characters.

Just surmising from this and other posts, I'm pretty sure I ran that game Sunday. One of the downsides to having such a large table is that each individual character gets less of a chance to do things. Especially when one or two characters are well above tier and dealing more damage than the poor goblins can take, and you're the one still at first level. So it wasn't the best situation to get a look at everything the inquisitor can do.

For being the only level 1 at a table of 7 (playing 1-2 tier), I think made a nice contribution. I landed quite a few attacks and me and the rogue to my left did all of the diplomacy/intimidate/bluff stuff.

That table was just OPed for the 1-2 tier of that scenario, especially with the gunslinger obliterating things and the ranger we had with 8 bonus damage on every attack. In hindsight, we probably could have played 4-5, but that could have turned ugly fast with me being the only healer.

I'm pretty set with the skills and such for the character (except which additional spells to pick now that I'm level 2), I just don't know anything about the deities (or the society in general). I picked Sarenrae for her weapon more than her goddessness, although I do like that she is the goddess of redemption bcause it opens up an interesting possibility for backstory.

If you were the GM for that table, you've run 2 of my 3 scenarios so far and in both cases we had a couple of characters that just overpowered the scenario with either their high level or their class abilities. Maybe next time we can get a nice balanced scenario that is challenging without being deadly.

I'll sign this post with the character name I used Sunday so you can know if this is who you think it is.

Or they're a level 2 Inq and initiative is modified by Dex and Wis.

I write it on my character sheet as: Composite Longbow (Str +2), I just forgot to ask my friend who recommended it to me whether it was already a +1 or not.

I think I'm going to save up gold for the Adaptive Composite Longbow. As a fresh level 2 I've got 16 HP, 19 AC, +8 Initiative, +5 to hit (or more depending on range), do 1d8 +2 damage (or more depending on range), and I've got a wand of CLW with only 2 charges missing. Oh and my saves are +4/+3/+6 or something like that.

I was looking through the UE guide earlier and didn't see anything I can afford that seemed like it would give me a big boost. I do have access to a Cloak of Resistance +1, but I think my saving throws are good enough for now that I can save up for the new bow.

I just need to decide what new orison and 1st–level spell to get before my next session.

Oh, this is the OP by the way. I finally changed my alias to the character's name. Yeah, kind of cheesy to name an Inquisitor after one of the grand inquisitors from the Spanish Inquisition, but I don't know enough about the game world to come up with an appropriate non-cheesy name.
