<p>Hacker's Curse trap:</p>
<p>I am a bit worried about this one.
<br />
That curse will affect every technological item the party is using (all items in 60 ft. and no save for any item below level 8). That also includes armor and weapons.
<br />
At level 1-4 the PCs cannot cast <i>remove affliction</i> themselves. And the DC 35 computers check is also out of range for most of the characters. So the only option left for them is spending a lot of fame for <i>remove affliction</i>, or throw away all their gear and buy new stuff which also will hurt a lot.
<br />
Is this really intended?</p>
<p>I am also a bit worried about the fact that the curse is contagious so someone with that curse might play at another table and infect other people's gear.</p>
<p></blockquote><p>Yes, that's pretty harsh for low-level PCs, and the trap is scaled down in other ways from the original CR 7 it is based off of. For this one, the PCs can automatically find a fellow Starfinder to remove the curse for free after they complete the quest.

</p>
Is that a save to negate or to half?
<br />
And what save is it actually - Fortitude, Reflex, Will?
<br />
And is it even a save or some other check?</p>
<p></blockquote><p>DC 9 Fortitude negates, and it should be damage rather than drain.

They can use their choice of Bluff, Intimidation, or Stealth, but it's likely they'll choose Bluff or Stealth given their bonuses.Nils Janson wrote:I have some questions:

<p>Using table 10-8 CRB and level 3 as base I get:
<br />
110 xp for unscaled (3x10,20,60)
<br />
200 xp for 19-22 (2x10, 3x20, 2x60)

200 xp for 28-32 (4x20, 2x60)
<br />
220 xp for 33+ (5x20,2x60)
<br />
Take away 1 spell weaver and you get 110, 140, 160, 200, 220 and it looks fine</p>
<p>As GM I'm supposed to run as written. And 1 or 2 spell weavers make a difference for a lowish powered group in tier 3-4. So it would help is this is addressed. </blockquote><p>Yes, this is a typo. 19–22 should indeed have only one spell weaver.Thod wrote:Thod wrote:The scaling tier 3-4 19-22 points is off.

We were absolutely high tier by the numbers and when the group was considering fleeing, I believe she handled the difficult situation very deftly).</p>
<p>It's true that this is a particularly challenging scenario; I purchased it after our session so I could read it and multiple encounters could TPK a 19-21 CP 2nd level party. This is because of the math in 2e and how party level+2 or party level+3 encounters work.</p>
<p>This particular scenario aside, I like Derek's suggestion that the number of players at a table contribute more to how tier is selected, especially in the case where there are 6 players.</p>
<p>Under the current system, the following 6-player tables will be high tier in a 1-4 scenario:</p>
<p><ul><li>(2+2+2+2+2+3) = 19 CPs<li>(2+2+2+2+2+4) = 21 CPs</ul></p>
<p>The issue is that, party composition aside, the 3-4 high tier will typically have combats that overwhelm either of the above two parties. Take for example the encounter design rules on page 489 of the CRB. "Party level" in the above two examples are 2.16 and 2.33, respectively. Let's say an author is designing a moderate high tier encounter for four 4th level PCs. The encounter budget is 80XP. The encounter could have two 40XP Creature-4s. However, for the 2nd level parties, these same two creatures would be equivalent to 160 XP (two Party Level + 2 creatures). A severe encounter for 6 2nd level PCs would be 180 XP. Our 2nd level party playing up will probably hit multiple severe difficulty encounters and such a party would regularly encounter extreme difficulty encounters...which is probably not what the author intended.</p>
<p>FWIW, the encounter in question was not the final one. By the CRB guide it was easily an extreme difficulty encounter....</p>
<p>•• spoiler omitted ••... </blockquote><p>Oof, good catch! That sidebar is in error; there's only supposed to be one of those creature 4s at the 19 CP range. So you were facing what would be appropriate for 28–32.

<p>When Zo! offers the Poshkettle tea to Rose-5, she grins, entirely oblivious to the implication that Zo! just wants the tea out of his studio. <b>“Thank you, Zo!

<p>Back in the Lorespire Complex, Rose-5 kicks back and relaxes, in her way. She spends hours upon hours in her machine shop plotting future improvements for Falcon in her sketchbook and then trying new models in search of an innovation that works well and strikes her drone’s fancy. All the while, she enjoys numerous cups of her favorite tea.</p>
<p>When the anti-Starfinder propaganda plays, Rose-5 sputters at the vid-screen. <b>“That’s…That’s highly inaccurate. They are reporting on a nonlethal battle as if it were mortal combat, and selectively editing the video footage in order to produce a false narrative. I don’t like this. And then they just talk about soap operas?"</b> She sighs, <b>“This is why video news is inferior to written news.”</b> She shakes a bit, as part of her mind that she's pushing far to the back contemplates the possibility that what she saw on the screen about the fate of the Rivals may well be true.</p>Rose-5 says, “No hard feelings, Moxie. Zo!s challenges are quite inventive. I believe I would enjoy experiencing more of his creativity and using it to augment my training and performance as an agent of the Starfinder Society.”

<p>Rose-5 helps the others open the equipment crate. <b> Wow, there is plenty of useful equipment in here. It takes a while to switch out Falcon's weapon mount, and I'm not the best at combat myself.

<p>Before going into the vent to find the gear, Falcon replies to Tyus.

<p>As stated on the bot-turn, Falcon nudges the gear down from the vent. It's a bit awkward and unwieldy, as his appendages are entirely occupied with his weapon, but he manages. Rose-5 then carefully stacks the crate on top of him so that he can fly over to Smek.</p>
<p>On Round 3, Falcon and Rose both double-move forward. Rose decides to play it safe and only try to move at half speed across the planks.

<p>He's surprised to see Zez'ka here all of the sudden. He tilts his whole body to the side as he flies near her, and says <b> "Beep boop BOP boop? Boop blip bee boop bop bee?

<br />
Failing to "catch [her] drift" entirely, Rose-5 says, <b>"I was also wanted to say that I'm sorry that you all have to deal with anti-undead prejudice on your own show. The audience should cheer loudly for you too. Living or not does not a person make." </b></p>

Her metallic hair is styled into cables in a manner reminiscent of dreadlocks, and she wears an emerald green set of freebooter armor. The drone is decorated with bronze wings and blinking red lights. She gestures to one of the swanky chairs, waiting for her drone to pick a seat before sitting in a chair next to him. </p>
<p>Instead of engaging with the other Starfinders immediately, she listens to their conversation while playing a vid-game on her datapad. When the ad comes up on Tyus's screen, she rapidly changes her vidscreen to display the game. After a few seconds, she backs away, giggling, and puts on a pair of headphones. The drone emits a metallic facsimile of a laugh, its lights flashing in time with the sound. A few minutes later, she takes out the headphones. The lashunta from the earlier smear ad speaks from her datapad. <b> "Fellow viewers from the Pact Worlds... Did you know that Starfinders are explorers? Why are so many Starfinders explorers who return in glory? I like Starfinders." </b></p>
<p><b> "Another ad for my collection, once I have time to go back and clean up the audio, that is." </b> the android says, smiling to the group. The drone beeps in approval. <b> "I should probably introduce myself, because we are meeting for the first time. I'm Rose-5, and this is Spinning Falcon." </b> The drone twirls around in happy circles, <b> "Bee boop boop BOOOP!" </b> </p>
<p>When Frank Gulp makes the comment about mining not getting his name up in lights, she projects a hologram made of glittering lights from the surface of her data pad: "FRANK GULP". <b> "It's pretty easy to make text appear as flashing lights. I can show you how, if you'd like." </b></p>
<p>When Zo! shows the smear campaign ads, Rose-5 eagerly records them all for later editing. <b> "Wow, that's quite the collection, Zo! Thanks."</b></p>
<p>When Zo! mentions going on Pact World Warriors, Rose-5 speaks to Spinning Falcon. <b> "Did you catch that last bit? You're going to be a star!" </b>

<p>"Revere: Player characters can revere any Golarion-specific deity, pantheon, or philosophy without alignment restriction. This extends to evil deities as well, so long as the PC does not participate in or glorify activities that violate the Pathfinder Baseline or otherwise incur an alignment infraction (see Pathfinder Core Rulebook 486 and Infamy and Alignment Infractions)."</p>
<p>"Worship: In Organized Play, worship refers to a relationship between a character and a deity where the character gains a mechanical benefit (e.g., a cleric’s spells and abilities or access to options tied to that deity) in exchange for their dedicated worship. A PC may worship only one deity and must choose a deity that accepts worshippers of their alignment. However, the PC cannot participate in or glorify activities that violate the Pathfinder baseline or otherwise incur an alignment infraction (see Pathfinder Core Rulebook 486 and Infamy and Alignment Infractions)."</p>
<p>The goal of this distinction is to offer a broad range of character belief and expression while remaining consistent with published information about which types of believers each deity is willing to grant power to.</p>
<p>Your PCs can revere deities and philosophies that haven't shown up in Second Edition products yet. So you can have your character be a follower of any of the Eldest (but they can't use revering an evil Eldest as a reason to have their character engage in behavior that is inappropriate for the table). Until we've published key mechanics like what alignments are required to gain power from a deity and which of the new domains they have, characters can't worship them as defined above. But the list in Lost Omens Gods and Magic is quite extensive, so there will be many more options for deities for your clerics in the near future.</p>Some quotes from the Pathfinder Society Guide to Play for context:

Radaszam also said that she should go to the bottom of a trash compactor, which I did not understand. I thought it was to scavenge for better parts, but when I informed him that trash compactors are not a good place to find workable material he said 'never mind'.

She leaps over the arc of electricity. It singes one of her arms, but she avoids a direct hit. Undeterred, she continues her charge forth with her doshko.

<br />
<span class=messageboard-bigger> Room 1 </span>
<br />
To her fellow skittermanders, Nechkin says, <b> “They were so scared of the AI they couldn't even get the pictures of their families to hang up by their beds! No wonder Nakonechkin had trouble here!” </b> When she sees Quonx fail to pick the lock, she says reassuringly, <b> “I bet that AI made that locker extra-super locked! Or maybe it has advanced biometrics.” </b> To Xuonq’s idea of requesting better quarters, she says, <b> “Oooh, that would be nice! Plenty of space to stretch out our arms like beetles.” </b>
<br />
<span class=messageboard-bigger> Room 2 </span>
<br />
In response to the AI’s sweetly stated comments, Nechkin scowls, <b>“Don’t worry, we’re not leaving until we’ve searched this whole place top to bottom and rescued whoever else you captured! Even if I agree that Nakonechkin could learn a thing or two from you about fun nail polish, that doesn’t give you the right to hold people here when they want to leave. If you keep that up, you’ll turn into a prison ship. That’s not who you want to be, is it? How is anyone supposed to relax when you keep blabbering on about ‘relax or be eliminated?’ And I thought yelling at someone to calm down was the worst way to help them relax, but death threats really take the nova-diving cake...”</b>
<br />
<span class=messageboard-bigger> Room 3 </span>
<br />
In spite of herself, with the disgusting state of her fur, the thought of a hot shower captures Nechkin’s imagination for a moment. She pictures herself in Silky’s humming and singing in room full of steam, and the finest scented soaps. A place like Silky’s would surely have only the finest combs and the fluffiest towels. But then she thinks about what kind of shower the AI might be offering, and imagining water that is hot enough to scald her skin falling down from the ceiling snaps her out of her fantasy.
<br />
<span class=messageboard-bigger> Room 4 </span>
<br />
As the poisonous gas takes effect, Nechkin calls out to the AI, <b> “Well, that’s just <i> rude </i>! Gazigaz was trying to talk to you and you just made him fall asleep. That’s not how you’re supposed to take turns in a conversation, not at all! </b>
<br />

Be sure to read the Guide to Organized Play, as Paz said, because that PDF has all of the rules specific to PFS. Also, near the end of that PDF is a list of all of the Venture Captains and Venture Lieutenants (regional and local PFS coordinators). Your local venture officers can help you with any questions you have as you get started, and help you connect with other players and GMs in your area.</p>
<div class="messageboard-quotee">Ulfen Death Squad wrote:</div><blockquote> There is also a website that has the stats and info for free. I just do not remember it. </blockquote><p>That website is the <a href="http://paizo.com/prd/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">PRD</a>.
<p>I second starting with an early scenario, but I would suggest season 1, since season 0 was written in 3.5 and so there is sometimes a bit of conversion work to be done. Nothing major, and the Guide to Organized Play explains how to do the conversion, but why give yourself extra work during your first game?</p>
<p>Registering to GM PFS is the same as registering to play PFS. You just need to get a PFS number and register that number under your account. Go to Pathfinder society under "My account" to register. I will send you a private message with a PFS number and the confirmation code to register the number. Your players will need numbers too, if they don't already have them. Once you are registered with PFS, getting a batch of numbers is easy. When you click on PFS under "My account", you'll see a tab called "GM/Event Coordinator". There are button on that page to reserve and download a set of 10 PFS numbers.</p>
<p>The only other step is reporting the game. To do that, go back to the "GM/Event Coordinator" tab, and hit the "Create Your Event" button. Once you create the event, you can hit "report" next to the event name to enter the Pathfinder society numbers, factions, and earned prestige for your players. </p>
<p>Some other good resources to help with preparing games:

•This section of the messageboard. There is usually at least one thread about each scenario.

<p>The Merchant beams with pride.</p>
