I'm assuming Teralindar's Honor can talk. Mode of communication is not specified, but with all the languages it knows, I'm assuming it's somewhat verbose. Otherwise the Read Magic ability and aberration detection powers become somewhat less cool. Any thoughts? how did you handle it in your game?

Edit: I bought the Syrinscape sound pack for What Grows Within, so I plan to keep using Upianshee's voice clips during fights as she throws warnings and issues battle cries... ;)

Will the following brave Pathfinders please report HERE to Escape the Grave:

Qstor's PC
Dave Chua's PC
Liwanag Sadilim
Blackfeather Jack
Dream Root
Clides Dalerunner

In terms of Subtier, if Qstor brings a Lvl 1 PC, then we're right at the edge. Otherwise, we are high tier (Lvl 1 PCs will get the Level Bump).

Switched to a level 1 PC. Instead of Clides Ftr3, I'm bringing Alpo'ol Clr1.

Qstor??? I'm in!

Edit: I put in my L3 Ftr, but if the table is closer to L1, I can bring my L1 Cleric instead.

So, for Dusty Rose Prism, we have "This aeon stone allows you to cast the 1st-level shield cantrip as an arcane innate spell, surrounding yourself in pink energy."

--> can this be done at will, 1/day, 1/hour, etc. 'As an arcane innate spell' means what?

2e says "Innate cantrips are cast at will and automatically heightened as normal for cantrip unless otherwise specified," which suggests you can use the shield cantrip at will (although in this case, the Dusty Rose Prism wording specifies it's the 1st-level version, and so you can't heighten it).

Just want to confirm this basically can be done each round on your turn if you want to...

Games also get marked inactive automatically after a certain length of time with no posts. (I'm not sure if posts in discussion count or not)

Do you know what that limit of inactive time is?

Because the game master Diaz Ex Machina for our Silent Tide PbP game has been silent for almost 2 monthes at this point, after the GM supposedly recovered and left the hospitol at June 3rd. Have anyone hear from him since? It has been a long enough wait/radio silence that I'm genuinely concerned about his well-being now, as well as the future of our game.

In similar cases in the past the PBP VA issued chronicles for the players or found a GM to finish the game. Either solution is not always 100% to the table's satisfaction but sometimes it's better than nothing.

Sovereign Court

I don't mind too much if they come along -- thanks for moving things forward!

Sovereign Court

Very minor complaint: love the module so far, but I feel we're moving a tad slower than we should... anything we can do to speed this up to regular pace GM Jhaeman?

Sovereign Court

How does Limited Starflight (for example, the Elder Thing's ability of the same name) compare with true Starflight in terms of actual time spent traveling? (considering that true Starflight has speeds varying from monster to monster)

Sovereign Court

I'll be prepping Book 6 in the coming months and will try to answer some of your questions Grumpus. The way I see it: Xhamen-Dor only exists if anyone is thinking about it. If all knowledge of it dies, it's gone. But as soon as some fool of a Took grabs a book about it and reads, it's back on like toenail fungus!

Sovereign Court

Thank you Pathfinders! much appreciated!

Sovereign Court

Having a hard time visualizing it's use in play with the current wording:

Altruistic Guardian (Su):
At 10th level, once per day when a spell or supernatural effect that allows spell resistance targets a Magaambyan arcanist’s allies or if they are within its area of effect, as an immediate action she can redirect the effects to herself. She can do this for a number of allies up to her Intelligence modifier, provided they are within 30 feet of her. The Magaambyan arcanist must attempt the appropriate saving throws for each ally, possibly attempting multiple saving throws against the same spell or effect. She takes all damage and suffers all conditions and other effects that her allies would have taken, possibly taking these multiple times. This protects allies only from damage and conditions they’d take at the time she spends the immediate action, not from any they might later suffer from a noninstantaneous spell or effect.

Anyone has had play experience with this? it seems massively hurtful unless something clever is enacted before triggering the ability...

Sovereign Court

Thank you Adam! Happy holidays and thank you again for such a great AP!

Sovereign Court

Anyone?

I'm a bit confused about how the seedborne corruption should work on npcs. My group is travelling with a cohort and Kaklatath, and they are about to camp in the city. So if these two fail the will and fort save, are they waking up seeded and trying to attack the group? I dont see any rules about how quick the progression is.

Just take a look at the stat block seeded creatures on page 91. Seedborn consumption has a onset of one month.

But remember that the PC´s are carrier of this disease as well - they are just imune to it. So the cohort and kaklathat might be infectet the moment, they first get in contact with the pc`s

The stat block of Xamen dor states that there is a 1% chance per year to be targeted by his nightmare dream ability if you know the name of the god and are understanding his nature.

If you are affected by this ability you must do a safe or you are affected with seedborn consumption with no onset. This is stated on page 86/87

Does a paladins' immunity to disease work against the seedborne consumption? I don't see anything that says otherwise. And can a paladin's 'remove disease' mercy work against it? (or the 'remove disease' spell cast by other characters?)

I'm especially worried for Kaklathat's frail elderly body. Does the adventure assumes she is somewhat immune to this for the same reasons the PCs are? (i.e. 'due to exposure to XD's influence during previous ordeals and dreams')

Sovereign Court

Hey Colin, PM me if you still need a body for this... otherwise nevermind... I was never here... ;)

If I have one recommendation for pfs 1e: create a third campaign/button for evil PCs only, I.e.:

1. Pfs1e standard (existing)
2. Pfs1e core (existing)
3. Pfs1e evil (new)

One would have to copy/paste additional resources into a different url and then just edit it to allow evil options.

Just a thought...

Sovereign Court

Hi Colin! I'm interested but what's the level range? Will it be vtt or pbp?

Sovereign Court

Nope. I agree with grimdog. No HP dmg with prestidigitation.

Sovereign Court

Just RPing and following Khana's lead. I wasn't aware she needed healing until H's discussion post earlier today.

By all means move this along and assume she's healed.

Sovereign Court

Akkina does but I want Khana to beg for it via RP. Cause apparently she makes her own luck... ;)

PS: Akkina is a stone cold b$#@%.

LOL!

I dunno, wouldn't that almost make it a free +2 to CHA-based checks just so long as you've got company?

INQUISITOR: *points to comrade, who just stands there* "Now see, take that fellow; is that guy a douchenozzle or what?! Wouldn't you rather deal with me?"

NPC: "Uhhh, I dunno, he looks like an alright sort to me - but I must say I find the way you demean your companions for no apparent reason VERY endearing...!"

Yes LOL this could lead to fun RP interactions. But alas, mechanically, the 'Fall Guy' still has to spend his turn bumbling around as a standard action by virtue of 'Solo Tactics' wording: "The allies’ positioning and actions must still meet the prerequisites listed in the teamwork feat for the inquisitor to receive the listed bonus."

Sovereign Court

This feat is actually better in the hands of someone with Solo Tactics, IMO: you'd get the bonus, but your ally does not get the penalties, as he doesn't have the feat.

Which isn't much of a bump in regards to this feat, IMO, as it's probably one of the worst one you could pick for someone with Solo Tactics: anything that relies on anyone else for your feat to come online isn't much of a 'Solo' tactic, IMHO... ;)

I can't stand the Discord format for PbP... there's just something about it that doesn't work as well as the Paizo boards for some reason. The lack of exhaustive headers and inability to link your sheet to a clickable avatar/name is probably what bugs me the most.

I was just thinking earlier: Is it just me, or are we really sparse on Vigilantes around here?

I don't think I've ever seen a high-level one (heavily-multiclassed characters who happen to have a non-plurality of Vigilante levels don't count in my book, and that's just me trying to find an exception to my observation, maybe I've never even seen that).

I have an aasimar boon I haven't used yet... I'll make a vigilante and let you know how that went in a few years.

Heighten Spell being the exception, yes, as it is the purpose of the feat. A heightened fireball is a 4th level spell, but a stilled fireball is still 3rd level spell (that occupies a 4th level slot), the same way quickened magic missile is a 1st level spell (that occupies a 5th level slot). The DCs are set as per the level of the spell, not the occupied spell slot (except in the case of heightened spell).

For more details and examples please refer to the metamagic rules.

The only metamagic feat that I think does so is Heighten Spell.

I'm a bit uncertain about the official stance, but to use a metamagic spell, a higher level slot is required and a higher caster level is required for that higher level slot.

That said, there is no rule (that I'm aware of) that says magic items can't be made at a higher caster level than the minimum, but they'd be more expensive. Therefore, it makes sense that characters could special order higher CL versions if they wanted.

Applying a metamagic feat does not change the caster level of the spell. It just costs a higher level slot to cast the modified spell.
