awfully tempted to try running something like Fall of Plaguestone (since it's a lvl 1 adventure, how hard can it be?)

(famous last words, I know) :)

It was damn hard when we first started it back around launch time, but we didn't finish. Count me in if you do so.

I've decided against Harsk. For a melee dual wielder he made a very poor choice to invest in striking on his heavy crossbow, not his war axe. I figured I have the boon to allow me to play one of the Sundered Waves pregens, so I will!

The sword and board fighter (much like Kernal Klank), Jadran Tagar!

We have plenty of healing, what we do not have much is melee martials (without you, we have just one left).

Alrighty, browsing the pregens, how does Harsk sound? I'm quite fond of Dwarves, and he's a dual wielding ranger. Should fit in the scenario well.

I remember hearing they had slightly different rules to a regular scenario.

Not only that, but slightly different rules depending on the special. Here's the repeatability breakdown per special:

Multi-table specials
2-00 (tiers 1-2, 3-6, & 7-8, once each tier)
3-99 (tiers 1-4, & 5-8, once each tier)
3-98 (tiers 1-4, & 3-6, can be played twice & each playthrough can be in any tier)
4-99 (subtiers 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, fully repeatable)

The above is just for playing, if you GM you can get a separate chronicle still. So for example 2-00 you can get up to 6 chronicles if you played and GM'ed every tier.

Thanks for the info redeux.

A follow up question: are you able to play the same special with the same character but on a different tier? Or must you be playing with a different character than the first play through?

Just to clarify, what are the rules now for participating in specials for second edition? Can you play them multiple times but only with different characters, like repeatables? Are the tiers restricted to one play per or one play per character? I remember hearing they had slightly different rules to a regular scenario.

Figured it would be good to get straightened out before March 4th arrives.

Thanks

It is likely that my preferred character Kernal Klank won't finish his current game in time for this to start. I'll start looking over the pregens for one that seems to round out the group a bit. Any suggestions? Looks like we've got casters/ranged covered. How about healing?

Yes, I'm a Sucker and I freely admit it.

I am interested, but confused whether I should sign up as a student or a Mentor, since I have been GMing here almost 2 years, but I've never been to school

Definitely not a sucker. Its a great program and I'm glad Redelia and others are still making it happen.

@GM Redelia

I'll bite. What is GM School?

Massee watches with interest as Computerpro82 eyes and then nibbles the bait... he sits waiting for Redelia to snap the rod up, driving the hook deep inside Computerpro82's top lip. She's got one!

Still haven't heard about characters from 2 of the 6, so I'm not fully committing to my build yet.

Being sure to address how I can get healed..

Medicine check related healing works fine. If I stick with the investigator, he's taking Medic as his free archetype, Battle Medicine at 1st, and Continual Recovery at 3rd. By 3rd level, he'll have +11.

But if I go with the psychic, we'll need someone to be able to heal, including healing the skeleton.

For medicine checks to work on undead you need this skill feat. I'll be taking it as soon as I can, at level 2. I will have lay on hands to help with in and out of combat healing somewhat. And of course medicine checks, which I probably will only use on myself out of combat since the lay on hands will be better.

Stitch Flesh

Prerequisites trained in Medicine
You can use Treat Wounds to restore Hit Points to undead creatures, not just living ones. The techniques you use to do so vary, but all require sutures, bandages, and other tools included in healer's tools. Some conditions that might raise the DC of treating undead's wounds differ from that of living creatures. For instance, the GM might increase the DC if the undead being treated is in a church of Pharasma or the wounds were caused by powerful positive energy.

Okay Profile for Puc-Lee is finished.

GM: Please review for any mistakes, thanks. I also put in some contacts under the Willowshore spoiler too.

All: Still trying to figure out which Free Archetype to select, but I suppose I will figure it out as the game progresses. Nomadical's Ritualist suggestion is a good one though.

Looks snazzy, especially the formatting! I haven't played monk so I really can't give any solid feedback on that part.

Welcome Nomadical, long time no see! (Little Frankie)

GM: Thanks for the updates. I've heard of those two variants but haven't played with them yet. I am curious as to how the ABP changes wealth doled out in the game. Does it get reduced since you no long need to spend the bulk of your $$ on those required bonuses? Or are we expecting everyone to be running around with bling and consumables galore to spend it all?

I'll need to do some serious searching to find an archetype to fit with my crusader's thoughts, but it could be as simple as medic. Not sure yet.

Isn't that a flashback!

Just as an update for everyone, I'm looking like I'll be a skeletal crusader. Redemption.

I'm here and pondering a character!

Just as a clarification for myself, and likely others, a couple questions.

You can replay specials if its a different tier than you've played before?

If so, do you need to play a different character, same character, or whichever?

Thanks

Hello! I haven't yet decided who to bring on this Season 4 kickoff scenario. Waiting to see what else/lvl others are bringing along for the fun.

Maybe a link to a document that has all of the helpful links listed there with a short description. I wouldn't want half of my campaigns page just being Cottonseed with a pile of links on it.

Thanks for all your hard work Tyranius!

And a big welcome to Bigrin!

"Meow!"

And don't forget me, Mister Midnight!

A cat NG? I dunno, that's a bit of a stretch!

My rogue here should be all done by end of weekend, I'll be ready to start after that. I need to adjust his feats a little.

Ya Stitch and Meat Wagon are 95% complete as well, just waiting on the books I ordered to arrive so I can flesh out the little details like regional languages and stuff like that.

I'm sure I'll do a bit of tweaking after a few games once we get an idea of roles and what works and what doesn't.

But for now I'd stuff Stitch n MW into the 'healery' role.

I have added 02-11 (Pathfinder Trials) to those I have prepared. So what's our lineup? I just need to statblock my new Swash but I'm ready to go...

So is Stitch related to Scratch? Tell Scratch that Clarence says hi.

And I'd love to play 03-01 again.

Ya I think I've solved some of my issues with figuring out names for characters... make many of them related! Stitch is the younger, less morally concerned brother of Scratch.

I'd be fine with that.

I need to get my character set up though. I think we're going to all need to keep medicine at hand.

Maybe I'll focus my inventor on constructing a 'heal bot'. I think there are some options for that.. sorta?

I don't have anything bought or prepped so I'm happy to fill in around what other people already are ready to run.

Chadius, did you invite GM Tiger to the thread yet?

Thanks for setting up the thread chadius!

I'll start with one of the more fun topics.. what sort of characters are people thinking about playing?

My current thoughts are a ranger with an animal companion that may retrain into an inventor with a construct companion once Guns and Gears is PFS legal.

I'll get things in order today. Looking forward to it.

Oooo Booker seems like my favorite choice.

Looking forward to it. I'll need to ponder who gets the chronicle for a bit though.

I haven't decided yet which character to bring along, depending on how things shake out. They will definitely be first or second level though regardless.

I'm here. Not 100% sure what I'll bring, depends on who's free.

Sorry to be late to the party. I'll have everything up and running by this afternoon.

Toss me on the pregen table I guess GM, thanks.

I'm pretty busy this week/end and have no qualms about you starting on Monday. I'll actually probably be semi awol until Sunday anyhow.

I think I requested the pregen sorc on the signup. I haven't looked at them yet but that's my pick, for good or bad!

Ok, I will likely be making a higher level version of Scratch (Dwarven Ranger) to test things out to see if I like the trap making aspect of a ranger. He'll be ranged primarily.

I expect some of the more restrictive archer stuff in 2.0 is to reign in the dominance that was 1.0 archers.

I also like the fact that there is a reason for someone to use a short bow instead of in 1.0 it was long bow only. Along the same lines as there is more than just a few types of armor's used in 2.0.

Quote:

It's based on an expectation that we're using a lot more consumables than we're used to in PFS1.

But we all get a couple free consumables per adventure in PFS.

Not if you are level 1 and field commissioned.

If you're still looking for another to fill out a spot I can put together a fresh core character by tonight. I just need to banter about some character concepts in my brain first.

Games Played: Alot
Character concept: Not sure yet.
XP: 0

I think the two concepts I provided are it.

And to be honest I'm very much favoring the summoning fellow. I've made some alterations to him (crunch wise) and am continuing to develop him further (fluff wise).

He has morphed from an arcane caster focused on summoning into a divine version: Herald Caller of Torag (cleric archetype) as it fit more with what I wanted to be able to do and not do. I figured I'd mention it since he would be able to provide healing and divine support vs the arcane side of things. This archeytpe is a squishier cleric version, so a bit along the lines of 'cloistered cleric'... light armor and no shield.

Waggi remains the same. An Ulfen sailor stuck in the city and eager to make his fortune.

My first choice:

Kradel Blastforge: Dwarven Wizard or Arcanist Earth Summoner

Missing Son or Daughter: The missing child is your own son or daughter, a niece or nephew, or a child you were charged with protecting. The child was abducted during a trip to the market or other daily event. Your stubbornness and long hours spent searching for rumors grant you a +1 trait bonus on Will saves.

Kradel isn't a native of Korvosa, but instead a regular merchant who travels to the city frequently with a troupe of Dwarves from Janderhoff. On one of many trips to the city Kradel finally started bringing his eldest son, teaching him the family business. The trip proved disastrous though when his son disappeared without a trace.

Second choice:

Waggi: Ulfen Storm Walker Ranger (Archery)

Addicted Friend: The addict is a friend or lover who might or might not have survived the overdose. Your research into the drug scene and local politics has given you a respectable education in street knowledge. You gain a +1 trait bonus on Knowledge (local) checks, and Knowledge (local) is a class skill for you.

Waggi is a man from the Northlands, an Ulfen. Growing up on the sea raiding the Varisian coast on his Uncle's ship, at least until his Uncle fell hard for Shiver. The man lost his will to sail and plunder and now Waggi is stuck in Korvosa trying to break the man of his habit, or at least getting some Ulfen justice for the affront.

Third choice:

Dunno yet.

I've always had a urge to play an aasimar but only if I can think of an interesting concept.

I'm home today so I can put some time into reading the players' guide and gaining some direction.

I'm here.

Since this is non PFS rules does that open up the litany of races available?

Sounds fun, consider me signed up. So this game will conclude by the time GameDay starts you say?

I'll get the character fleshed out this evening. They will be a fresh druid.

I still need to decide on the character I'll be using for this. Likely will be a fresh level 1 spellcaster, leaning towards Sorceror at the moment.

That's fine, was just curious. An FYI: I'll be out of town until the evening of the 11th, but feel free to kick off without me. I'm more than happy to make a dramatic entrance.

I just got my books so I'll start browsing.

Were you running this as PFS or no? And the estimated start date was what again?

Hope everything is ok Redelia and welcome back in whatever capacity you are able and willing.

No worries, thanks for the consideration and enjoy the game!

If low tier happens then I'd be happy to bring either Mae the Grippli druid or Dale the know it all alchemist (mindchemist).

I have a couple of openings for a core run of Fangwood Keep. If you are interested, let me know here.

We currently have a bard, monk, and paladin and I'm looking for 2 players at 3-4th level. We will be starting in a week or so though I will probably get the ball rolling with intro stuff before then.

I'm shocked I haven't gotten any takers yet. Still looking for a couple of players.

Ya my one core character is currently in a game. 4th level fighter. If you are still looking when he's done then I'll be happy to come along!

I'd love to get in on some more Core action if Shattered Shield isn't starting for a bit as my beloved Ironshanks is currently escorting a snoring man in his bed clothes.

If it is starting soon then please consider him for your future core meatshield needs.

I have no idea how quickly the space will fill. What's your ETA there?

Half way through at most, so a couple/three weeks anyhow. Thanks for the thought.
