So, Spirit Blade has the power "If a monster has an effect that increases the difficulty of the check, ignore that effect." And Abattoir increases difficulty of all checks to defeat for banes by the number of players. I'm pretty sure that since it's an effect on the location, that Spirit Blade doesn't let you ignore it -- but I thought it was worth asking in case I'm wrong.
So, I ran into an odd situation while playing tonight. I went with the 'do exactly what the cards say' resolution, but perhaps someone will pipe in with what I may have done wrong. Playing "The Traitor's Lodge". Shardra is at Great Hall, and encounters a henchman Wight. Location text: "When you encounter a henchman or villain, before you act, summon and encounter this adventure's servitor demon." Shardra encounters the demonling, and due to poor dice rolling, fails to defeat it. The demonling's power: "If undefeated, move to a random location." So I roll for random location, and she moves elsewhere. However, that leaves her encounter with the Wight still ongoing. She defeats the Wight, which has the specific text "If defeated, you may immediately close the location this henchman came from." She is no longer at that location, but the card specifically does say attempt to close the location the Wight came from. Am I correct in assuming that Shardra could make the closing check on the location, even though she was no longer there? That's how I played it, at least, as that's the reading on the cards.
My PACG group isn't going to be starting Season One for a couple months (we've just finished Adventure 3 of Season 0, and we're going to play through the rest of it before heading to Season 1), but I've been looking through the new Tier rules and trying to make sure I understand them fully. There's just one thing that I'm unclear on and wouldn't mind some clarification, about earning of Tier feats. Let's say I play the first four scenarios of Adventure 1, earning the skill, power, and card feat, and decide to increase my tier after the last. There's still one scenario left in Adventure 1, however, so I complete that with my group. Would I then have earned a new skill feat for completing a new scenario? So, can you increase tier every 4 games, regardless of Adventures? In a hypothetical season with 6 scenarios in each Adventure, that would allow you to hit Tier 5 mid-Adventure 3 if you were that focused on increasing Tier as soon as you could.
I don't have a printer of my own. I don't tend to print things very often, so I don't see the point in making the investment. So, when I need to print something, I load it onto a thumb drive and drive two minutes to the local Staples to use their copy center. I've run into problems doing this with my purchased Paizo PDFs, though. The free ones work fine, but when I try to print the purchased ones, like the new PACG OP scenarios, I'm told it's a 'protected file'. I can print it fine if I use their computer to print or if I take it to the print center front desk for them to print there... but the first option is much more expensive, since I have to buy time on the computer, and the second only works if the copy center isn't working on any other jobs at the moment. Is this something I'm just going to have to live with? Or am I missing something? |
