Snorri Sturgesson's page

In the Constellation room
Bardic Lore: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

In the final room
Perception (Init): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22

I don't think potency runes count towards overcoming physical resistance in PF2. There are no separate rules for DR/ER anymore.
Will save: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22

Snorri starts his inspiring tune again but the tempo is noticeably slower. He attempts to hit the thing with his hammer:
Atk: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (6) + 17 = 23
Dmg: 3d6 + 5 ⇒ (5, 4, 3) + 5 = 17 Physical and 1d6 ⇒ 6 Fire

"Let this dwarven song be your final lullaby!", Snorri exclaims as he shields himself from the melee assault and presses the attack.
Inspire Courage, Shield for AC 30, Strike
Atk: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (15) + 17 = 32
Dmg: 3d6 + 5 ⇒ (6, 6, 2) + 5 = 19 Bludgeoning and 1d6 ⇒ 4 Fire

Snorri keeps throwing his hammer at the giants while keeping up the song.

Same as Kyra - replace the last Strike with a Stride if the fist giant drops by the time Snorri acts

Atk 1: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (14) + 17 = 31
Dmg1: 3d6 + 5 ⇒ (4, 6, 4) + 5 = 19 Bludgeoning and 1d6 ⇒ 4 Fire
Atk 2: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 25
Dmg2: 3d6 + 5 ⇒ (4, 6, 4) + 5 = 19 Bludgeoning and 1d6 ⇒ 3 Fire

Keeping Inspire Courage up, Snorri Strides up to the giant and throws his hammer at it.
Atk: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (3) + 17 = 20
Dmg: 3d6 + 5 ⇒ (5, 2, 4) + 5 = 16 Bludgeoning and 1d6 ⇒ 3 Fire

Snorri drops his hammer and draws a javelin from across his back. Electric sparks scuttle along the shaft as he takes aim and throws it, and it turns into a bolt of lightning mid-air!

GM, up to you to decide if I need an Interact action to draw it in addition to 2-action Operate Activation to throw. If I do then I don't concentrate on Inspire Courage this round.
Also up to you to decide if the spell changes from Update 1.5 apply, giving an extra d12 damage.
Lightning bolt on both wolves and the nearest giant, Reflex DC 22.

Javelin of Lightning: 5d12 ⇒ (5, 9, 5, 10, 11) = 40
Update 1.5 extra damage: 1d12 ⇒ 12

EDIT: misread the activation rules, not enough actions this round for what I wanted to do.

Snorri begins chanting an inspiring tune as he moves into the corridor and strikes the nearest wolf with his magical hammer.

Inspire Courage, Stride, Strike
Atk: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (1) + 17 = 18

Inspire Courage is interrupted by a sad trombone playing

Bardic Lore for Arcana: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

"So what's behind that door? Snorri whispers, patting Kyra on the shoulder.

Stealth: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

Snorri tries to move in as quietly as his scale mail allows him.

"That's an odd place to be sleeping!, he whispers as he looks up. He then checks what other exits the room has.

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21

"Harumph. If the goblins didn't go this way we must be extra careful - who knows what traps may wait for us beyond!"

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21

"Aye, looks like the big door is for giants while the small one is for the small folk. Which one looks more like the one goblins marked on their map?"

"This has been going on for far too long!" Snorri exclaims while burning his last True Strike.

Atk, IC, True Strike: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (18) + 17 = 35
Atk reroll, IC, True Strike: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (13) + 17 = 30

Dmg: 3d6 + 5 ⇒ (1, 6, 4) + 5 = 16 Bludgeoning and 1d6 ⇒ 2 Fire

Snorri will cast another True Strike and throw his hammer, while keeping up the song.

Atk, IC, True Strike: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (2) + 17 = 19
Atk reroll, IC, True Strike: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (7) + 17 = 24

But even with the enchantment the hammer flies past the elemental and hits the opposite wall before reappearing in Snorri's hand.

Snorri will generally try to stay within 20ft of the elemental, not necessarily next to anyone. By Con save you mean Fortitude, right?

Fort: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (16) + 16 = 32
Shorri braces himself against the gust of wind but is still pushed away a bit.
He keeps on his inspiring song, weaving a bit of magic into it.
"When the wind fills the sky and clouds will move aside,
There will be a road to all our dreams and for every day that stings
Two better days it brings, nothing is as bad as it seems."

Action 1 - Inspire Courage, Action 2 - True Strike
He then throws his enchanted hammer into the roiling whirlwind!
Atk1, IC, True Strike: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (11) + 17 = 28
Atk1 reroll, IC, True Strike: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (20) + 17 = 37

And it's a crit! But as an elemental it's probably immune, right?
Dmg: 3d6 + 5 ⇒ (1, 2, 2) + 5 = 10 Bludgeoning and 1d6 ⇒ 1 Fire
the most underwhelming crit ever :(

Honestly I don't think that comparisons to other editions serve much purpose...
I would argue PF1 version is OP for a 3rd level spell when it works and useless when it doesn't.
5e seems better on its own but I haven't played 5e so can't place it in context.
I like that PF2 version is almost guaranteed to debuff the enemy, though I dislike that it only applies Slowed but not Hampered (and those names should really be reversed!)

It is still Slowed 1 for 1 round even on a success! On a fail it would have been 1 minute.

Init, Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19

Snorri Inspires Courage as his first action, and then says "Whoa, not so fast there!", casting Slow (DC24 Fort)

Can we see the handout from the messenger bag? I can't find it in the slides.

"For all their other advantages, appreciation of culture is not yet among the strengths of goblinkind", Snorri ruminates.
He begins to offer his wand of Fly to retrieve the tiles, but seeing Kyra's marvelous athletics prowess, keeps quiet.

Hooray for the 1.5 update! Only the first attack hits Snorri, but it could have very nearly been a crit. HP 125/150.

"Argh, stop pecking at me, you unseemly parrot! Eat hammer to the face!" Snorri exclaims as he stands his ground against the huge bird.

+2 returning flaming light hammer, IC: 1d20 + 16 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 16 + 1 = 29
Dmg if hits: 3d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (2, 2, 4) + 4 + 1 = 13 Bludgeoning and 1d6 ⇒ 2 Fire
+2 returning flaming light hammer, IC: 1d20 + 16 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 16 + 1 - 4 = 26
Dmg if hits: 3d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5, 5, 1) + 4 + 1 = 16 Bludgeoning and 1d6 ⇒ 2 Fire

@Nivmet, these attack rolls also likely don't factor in your level but they should! You can't have +2 to hit at lvl 10!
@Everyone, please don't forget Inspire Courage!

Snorri keeps singing his valorous song and strikes 'his' Roc twice more.

+2 returning flaming light hammer, Inspire Courage: 1d20 + 16 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 16 + 1 = 30
Dmg if hits: 3d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (2, 3, 6) + 4 + 1 = 16 Bludgeoning and 1d6 ⇒ 2 Fire
+2 returning flaming light hammer, Inspire Courage: 1d20 + 16 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 16 + 1 - 4 = 30
Dmg if hits: 3d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5, 5, 2) + 4 + 1 = 17 Bludgeoning and 1d6 ⇒ 4 Fire

"Hold fast! Show those glorified turkeys you're a hard nut to crack, and they'll chicken out!" Inspire Courage +1 to Atk and Dmg

Snorri strikes the roc twice with his hammer. I guess it's Roc2 that threatens him

+2 returning flaming light hammer, Inspire Courage: 1d20 + 16 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 16 + 1 = 20
Dmg if hits: 3d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4, 4, 2) + 4 + 1 = 15 Bludgeoning and 1d6 ⇒ 4 Fire

+2 returning flaming light hammer, Inspire Courage: 1d20 + 16 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 16 + 1 - 4 = 28
Dmg if hits: 3d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4, 6, 6) + 4 + 1 = 21 Bludgeoning and 1d6 ⇒ 6 Fire

Init: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27
"An oversized pigeon is what it is!" Snorri proclaims, looking around and lighting up his hammer on fire.

Nivmet, your Perception modifier doesn't look right, I believe it should be level + Wisdom modifier + proficiency so probably +11 if you're Trained?

"We were told that six goblins from your party have not returned, how did they perish?"

"The Venture-Captain also showed us the stone you took from the site, and it says something about the curse of the giant god which befalls those who wake some sleepers, does that ring any bells? Did you see anyone sleeping there?"

heroic adventurer question #1
Like most dwarves, Snorri was prejudiced against goblins, but he has warmed up to them somewhat after adventuring together with some of their kind. He approached Ogthup respectfully.
"Master Ogthup, your survival skills are clearly top notch if you made it out alive; can you explain to us what you meant by those goblin faces?"

The door opens and a gruff dwarf in scale armor with black braided beard, an ornate hammer at his hip and a set of bagpipes on his back comes in.
"Please forgive my tardiness Venture-Captain, I was giving a recital of the Pathfinder Chronicles to the new recruits at the amphitheater and the audience only let me go after three encores!"

He quickly introduces himself to the group and gets a primer on the task at hand.

"A Tien-inspired dialect of Jotun? That's interesting, perhaps the giants are more amenable to coexisting with them than they are with our people!"

Bardic Lore in place of the Merchant Lore: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

Checking in, will do a gameplay post tomorrow.

Mark Seifter clarified on the boards that property runes count as separate items (unlike potency runes which count as one item because they have their own entry in the items by level table).

Snorri from your Raiders of the Shrieking Peak game here.
I plan to level up the same character - a dwarven bard focused on buffing up and throwing hammers. Will rethink whether I need Fighter dedication or not.

Should we be posting in your recruitment thread or is that for another table?

I am also up for the Frozen Oath, but I will be traveling next week, so I'd prefer to start from Oct 15th.

Thanks for the game GM DoubleGold and everyone! I quite liked my bard/fighter and want to see what happens with him at higher levels :)

Unless they were targeting TAC, none of those actually hit me as nobody rolled over 22 and my AC is 23! Also I still have 3 mirror images up so I feel safe. Fenguk would probably better use that Heal on Hylar.

Protected by his illusions and inspired by his own song, Snorri strides forward into the fray, arrows dropping left and right of him with two of them clinking off his armor.

Action 1,2 - move 40 ft forward, Action 3 - concentrate on Inspire Courage

Will save, Heroism: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

Snorri laughs in the face of Ryole's awkward attempt at vocalizing.
"Let me show you how it's done, dwarven style!"
Counter Performance, not sure how exactly it works as it is takes two actions to cast but also has a trigger. I think it will affect anyone who needs to save vs her song next time.
Performance, Heroism: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

But a drop of spit gets into Snorri's bagpipes and it doesn't produce the effect he hoped for.

Action 3 - concentrating on Inspire Courage

I have cast Heroism 5 minutes ago and it lasts for 10 minutes, I was just spelling out where the bonuses are coming from.
Snorri also needs to know the watchtower height as his hammer has 20ft range.
Snorri begins a courage-inspiring song and casts Mirror Image on himself.

Initiative (Perception, Heroism): 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 7 + 1 = 18

Snorri will then also cast two Soothes on Hylar, healing 3d6 + 3 ⇒ (3, 5, 1) + 3 = 12 and 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 HP. I believe that leaves Hylar at -8. Note that Soothe also grants a +1 conditional bonus to saves vs mental effects for 1 minute.

Snorri will cast Heroism on himself, which lasts 10 minutes. It gives a +1 conditional bonus to attack rolls, saving throws, skill and perception checks.

Snorri also has several one-minute buffs he could use. In particular, he would like to apply an oil of magic weapon to his hammer if he knows that the combat is imminent within a couple of rounds.

If someone needs healing he is happy to cast Soothe once on 2nd and 1st level each.

Snorri calls forth a magical shield, and lays into the last ghast standing with his hammer.

Atk1: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29 Yay, a crit! The ghast falls prone.
Dmg1, Crit: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (4, 6) + 6 = 16

Atk2: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15 could be a hit on the prone flanked ghast?
Dmg2: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Snorri charges at the ghasts, mostly in order to get his allies into the Magic Circle than his own idea of tactics, and strikes twice with his hammer.
Atk1: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24 If it's a crit, the ghast falls prone
Dmg1: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Atk2: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
Dmg2: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Snorri begins a long invocation, chanting:

"Ghouls gone wild and we're gonna keep it tight!
If we keep ourselves together we might make it through the night!"

Soundtrack - Ghouls Gone Wild by Alice Cooper, couldn't find a valid link.
3 actions - Casting Magic Circle against Evil. +1 conditional bonus to AC and Saves within 10 feet of Snorri.

Init: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Bardic Lore on the Super Ghast: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

Despite having expected to see undead, Snorri is startled by their unusual and pauses as he tries to piece together what he knows about these creatures.

Snorri is up-to-date, yes

Bardic Lore about harpies: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Snorri throws his hammer 20ft up and catches it.
"I can throw weapons just fine, thank you, but I suppose being able to fly still gives the harpy an advantage of the higher ground, as it were."

Right, I totally forgot I have the Versatile Performance feat... let's see if I can Make an Impression on those guys.
Also I hope to gods Fenguk meant horned friends, not horny!

Snorri puts his hammer away and draws the bagpipes instead.

"You're still not sure who we are? Well, let me tell you this:"

The below filk was shamelessly stolen from Wolfspirit4W over the Org Play Online Discord who composed it for a boon contest during Paizo downtime. All credit goes to him/her.

Performance: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

Aid Another is now DC15 and you can critically succeed if you roll well!

Well Snorri explicitly refused to take the symbol, so unless we can retcon that someone else did, looks like we have to roll that Initiative!

Snorri tries his best to hide his embarrassment.
"Well if you're not worshipping Baphomet that's good, perhaps we have encountered a different tribe! How does your tribe look upon robbing caravans and kidnapping people, though?"

He tries to gauge if they're lying, I think this is now under Perception?
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

Snorri weighs his hammer in his hand.
"That depends on who you call "your people". Our people have also been attacked and kidnapped on the road, as it happens, and while looking for them we had to defend ourselves from some Baphomet-worshipping minotaurs. If these were your people, you too can prepare to visit your unholy patron in the Abyss!"

Intimidation: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

Snorri will affix a potency crystal onto his hammer along the way. Cautiously moving along he will investigate the opening in the vegetation to his right side.
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

were we supposed to see that last sentence?

Snorri spits on the symbol and throws it on the ground, then stamps it into the earth with his heavy boot.
"Dirty demon-worshipers!", he utters in disgust. "No doubt they intend to sacrifice her to their vile patron in some bloody ritual. We must hurry!"
