No posts. Organized Play character for IamJLovegren.



Liberty's Edge 4/5 *

I've been organizing a weekly game at our local store for about a year and a half now. We've sometimes had to bend some rules or go lax on standards to maintain a player base, but now we are consistently running two tables a week and have a player base of about 20 people.

Recently, some of my players and GMs have approached me about things that have been frustrating them, chiefly players arriving late and forcing the game to run late. We have a tight time slot, 5pm-9pm on monday, but we've tried to overcome this by playing older adventures that run fast or adventures that the GMs know well and can run quickly. Now, running new adventures as soon as they come out, and having some less experienced GMs, the starting time of 5 has become very important.

I'm working on a one page primer explaning how our game works from explaining what PFS is and where to find resources and the ettiqute/policies of the game at the store. The store manager usually does inventory Monday nights, and doesn't mind us staying late, but recently the owner has been working Mondays and wants out right at 9.

My biggest concern is making sure that everything is still within the guidelines of PFS. We want to be as friendly and understanding as possible, but almost everyone has the ability to make it on time by 5, and just no longer see the urgency of starting on time.

I don't want to do this, but if everything has been done in the GMs power to speed a game along (arrive on time, skip optional encounters, spend little to no time referenceing rules) and we run out of time, are we able to just stop the adventure and assign chronicle sheets for what has happened that far? I'm sure that would be enough of motivator to arrive on time and focus on the game.

Does anyone have advice on how to motivate players to remember that it's and organized play game and treat it a little more seriously?

1 person marked this as FAQ candidate.

The ACG is super vague about how Skirmisher ranger tricks work with animal companions. Can someone help me with some rules clarifications?

Liberty's Edge

So, is there any plan to update the Tome of Horrors Complete anytime soon?

Has anyone made or come across the character sheets for the iconics in the NPC codex laid out the same as the Society Pregens?

A player of mine recently told me that he hasn't registered his prgen society number. Since I've given him his number, I've reserved 10 more numbers, and lost the pdf of the original numbers. Is there anyway to recover the confirmation code for his number?

I've been reading through the deity write up of Cayden Cailean in Pathfinder #14 (Second Darkness pt. 2). In the "Magic of Cayden Cailean" section, it talks about specific abilities that clerics and bards have as worshipers of the accidental god. This path was published before the APG and the inquisitor.

Question: Do inquisitors of Cayden Cailean get any of the benefits that clerics get? Specifically, can an inquisitor's create water spell create ale or wine as a cleric's can?

Liberty's Edge

I've been thinking about this recently. Why does the Bestiary Box need a copy of the OGL?

Liberty's Edge

Greetings!

I want to get a Holy Symbol wayfinder for my Inquisitor of Cayden Cailean, but I can't decide what it should look like. A friend suggested a Mug with a clear bottom, so you can look down the mug to see the compass.

Anybody else have an idea?

My friends and I have 4 fame after completing the first two First Steps adventures.

One player wanted to buy a Wayfinder for 250 gp, but I was unsure of what the rules were for max purchase under 5 fame.

Does anyone know the rules for low-fame characters?

About Pyrexius, The Golden Dragon

PFS No.: 83959-2007
Mirror Risen: Mirror's Trickery (concentrate, illusion, occult, visual) Frequency once per day; Trigger You would be hit by a Strike; Effect You create an illusory duplicate at the last instant and attempt to trick your foe into striking it instead of you. The attacker attempts a DC 11 flat check; on a failure, the attack hits the duplicate, changing the result from a critical success to a success or a success to a failure.

Mirror's Reflection [one-action]
Illusion, Magical, Manipulate, Thaumaturge
Requirements You're holding your mirror implement.
You reflect an illusory image of yourself into another unoccupied space within 15 feet that you can see. You are treated as being in both spaces until the start of your next turn. For example, you can attack, Seek, and provide flanking—even with yourself. You occupy both spaces.

Your mirror self mimics your actions exactly, but any effects you generate come from only one of your positions; you decide which each time you act. For example, if you made a melee Strike against a creature within reach of the reflection, you'd mime the actions of the Strike, but only the reflection would actually make the Strike. Anything that targets or would affect your reflection affects you and uses your statistics. Something that would target or affect both of you affects you only once. For example, a fireball that included both of you in its area would require only one save from you and damage you no more than once. When you move, you choose which square to move from, but the mirror effect ends (see below).

Some events force you to determine which image is the real you, and then end the effect and cause your mirror self to disappear; this happens automatically at the start of your next turn. It also happens if you choose to move out of your space. Other benefits of this implement add more events that can end the reflection. The effect also ends when you fall unconscious, at which point you decide which version is truly you.

Longsword (versatile P) +7 / 1d8+2+2 slashing/piercing (includes implement’s empowerment)

FEATS:

Ancestry Feats and Abilities
* Reflection Versatile Heritage: You don’t need to attempt Deception checks to Impersonate your progenitor unless you’re interacting with people who know them personally or you do something known to be out of character for them. The GM might require you to roll a Deception check in other circumstances, such as if you’re mirror-risen and interacting with someone who has seen an accurate likeness of your progenitor and might notice a distinguishing feature on the reverse side. You can choose from reflection feats and feats from your ancestry whenever you gain an ancestry feat.
* 1st: Mirror-risen: You were created from magic involving mirrors and still retain some ability to seek refuge in reflected illusions. You gain the Mirror’s Trickery reaction.
Mirror’s Trickery [reaction] (concentrate, illusion, occult, visual) Frequency once per day; Trigger You would be hit by a Strike; Effect You create an illusory duplicate at the last instant and attempt to trick your foe into striking it instead of you. The attacker attempts a DC 11 flat check; on a failure, the attack hits the duplicate, changing the result from a critical success to a success or a success to a failure.

General Feats
* 3rd: Robust Health: Your physiology responds well to first aid. You gain a circumstance bonus to the number of Hit Points you regain equal to your level from a successful attempt to Treat your Wounds or use Battle Medicine on you. After you or an ally use Battle Medicine on you, you become temporarily immune to that Battle Medicine for only 1 hour, instead of 1 day.

Skill Feats
* Background: Schooled in Secrets: You notice the signs and symbols that members of mystery cults and other secret societies use to declare their affiliation to fellow members. You can use Occultism in place of Diplomacy to Gather Information about such groups. If you belong to a secret cult, lodge, sect, or similar organization, you automatically recognize members of your group unless they are specifically attempting to conceal their presence from you.
* Thuamaturge feature: Dubious Knowledge: You're a treasure trove of information, but not all of it comes from reputable sources. When you fail (but don't critically fail) a Recall Knowledge check using any skill, you learn a bit of true knowledge and a bit of erroneous knowledge, but you don't have any way to differentiate which is which.
* 2nd: Trick Magic Item

Class Feats and Abilities
* Feature 1st: Esoteric Lore
* Feature 1st: 1st Implement: Mirror (mirror’s reflection)
* Feature 1st: Exploit Vulnerability
* Feature 1st: Implement’s Empowerment
* 1st: Root to Life [one-action or two-actions] You place a small plant or similar symbol on an adjacent dying creature, immediately stabilizing them; the creature is no longer dying and is instead unconscious at 0 Hit Points. If you spend 2 actions instead of 1, you empower the act further by uttering a quick folk blessing to chase away ongoing pain, adding the auditory trait to the action. When you do so, attempt flat checks to remove each source of persistent damage affecting the target; due to the particularly effective assistance, the DC is 10 instead of the usual 15.
* 2nd: Talisman Esoterica: You know how to assemble the supernatural objects in your esoterica into a number of temporary talismans. Each day during your daily preparations, you can make two talismans with an item level no higher than half your level. You must know each talisman's formula. A talisman created this way is a temporary item and loses its magic the next time you make your daily preparations.

You know the formulas for all common talismans in the Core Rulebook of your level or lower. You remember your talisman formulas through oral tradition or mnemonics, so you don't need a formula book for them.
