Please note that I recently changed addresses for subscription and non-subscription services. This order came through and is still attempting to charge my credit card at my old address. There does not seem to be an option to change the address within the order itself, only to attempt an alternative payment method. Can this order be processed using my new address, please? (The credit cards I own have already been changed to that new address). -- Steve
Lesath pulls an Infinite Rod from the location; Vika's mouth starts watering. Lesath doesn't have the Melee, Arcane, or Divine trait. The chance to make a DC 13 Strength check isn't possible (there's only 1 Blessing available). She does have the Emerald of Dexterity in hand, so he could use his Dexterity Die (d10). Through the five adventures, he has all three checks marked. Question 1: After using the Emerald of Dexterity, would he use the die (d10), or die plus checks (d10+3)? Question 2: As he has now made it a Dex Die check, would that additional Blessing now use that Dex die (d10), or his base Strength die (d6)? Question 3: Let's say he has the Mythic Trickster path (Dex and Intelligence)- would he be able to Mythic Charge it to convert one of the d10s to a d20? -- S.
Quick question- and one I've been thinking of doing as a PFS GM, and wanted others' opinions on... Back when I used to run 2.0 / 3.0 / 3.5, I used to take the various AC modifiers ('Normal' AC, Flat-Footed, Touch) and hit points down on my notes, then roll to hit and applied damage appropriately. The players never really knew how many hit points they were from maximum "exactly", but I'd give descriptive comments such as "You've got a rather serious leg cramp, and your head feels like you've been on a 3-day bender. You're not entirely sure you can take another hit like that." From a storytelling aspect, it really minimizes the "Oh, I've taken 41 of my maximum 59 hit points through two hits" metagaming I have been seeing (or, perhaps just more observant to) after running 99 sessions/4 specials. I'm also a player that, when I take a hit that puts me into negs, I lay my figure down on the play mat, turn my character sheet over, and when someone asks me how badly I'm hurt I say "I'm unconscious, so I really can't answer you." Thoughts? Questions? Concerns? -- Steve
Gentle request here. I have a player coming from Colorado to Milwaukee WI and will be joining us at our Organized Play Adventure Card Game on December 23rd. We are currently battling the Demonic forces in Season 1, and have just succeeded (after much gnashing of teeth) in defeating the Defiled One (1-4B: With a Bit of a Mind Flip). Our party consists of Lem (Bard), Kyra (Cleric), Sajan (Monk), Seelah (Paladin), and Seoni (Sorcerer), that would theoretically leave him with choices of Fighter/Valeros, Ranger/Harsk, Rogue/Merisiel, or Wizard/Ezren if we do a special dip into OP scenario 1-5A: Dryad Dust so he could play the level 5 PreGen. My Druid class deck has shipped from Paizo's warehouses. On review, I noticed that there hasn't been a Pregen release of Druid, Monk, or Paladin as of yet (at least, not that I've found anywhere.) As long as I am requesting these, is there any way to combine things when it comes to the characters? For example, I have separate downloads for the Character Sheets, then another for the Monk deck list, and the pre-gens would theoretically be a third download I would have to find. Only the Monk Deck List is located on the Product page; there is no download for the Community Use Package: Pathfinder Adventure Card Game Character Sheets (had to find that elsewhere). -- Steve
Playing through Season of the Righteous right now with a WotR Seelah. Have some questions on the Loot acquisition here. Although this is a character going through the Adventure Card Guild season instead of the Wrath of the Righteous base set, this question has significance in the base set, also (where the same loots are acquired and redeemed.) [WotR] Seelah has the following Power:
Spoiler:
When you acquire a boon that has the Corrupted trait, bury it. As my Seelah has played through the following scenarios: ---- 1-2C: Into the Woods Spoiler:
For the rest of the Adventure Path, when setting up each scenario, 1 character may temporarily replace a weapon in her deck with the loot Soulshear. At the end of each scenario, return the loot to the game box. ---- 1-2E: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum: Spoiler:
You may redeem 1 loot card that a reward has allowed you to temporarily add to your deck and that is listed on the Redemption card. ---- Before I completed 1-2E, could my Seelah have theoretically equipped Soulshear? Building Your Deck is not part of acquiring a boon, but is 'outside' the game. I ask this now as there will be other Corrupted loots out there for the remainder of the adventure path. ---- Soulshear: Spoiler:
Type: Weapon * Polearm * Melee * Slashing * 2-Handed * Magic * Corrupted. Loot 2.
For your combat check, reveal this card to use your Strength or Melee skill + 1d10 + 4. If not proficient with weapons, the difficulty of this check is increased by 4. If you fail this check, you may discard this card to reroll the dice; take the new result. If you reroll the dice and this card has the Corrupted trait, roll 1d12; on a 1, summon and defeat this adventure's servitor demon or shuffle Soulshear into your location deck. ---- Thanks for your time. -- S.
We have a player who has played and completed the (1-2) "War for the Worldwound" adventure, and will now be doubling back in order to play the (1-1) "Herald's Chosen" adventure. Questions:
-- Steve
Sorry for asking a silly question that a little more research (and powerful Google-Fu) might have answered, but... Our group usually runs 5-strong, but we finished the first Adventure (Herald's Chosen), and ran today with 3 regulars and one brand-new player. Successfully completed The Frogs. When would our Tier-1 player receive the ability to add Banner of Valor, a Tier-2 Loot card, to his deck? Would it be when he completes his fourth OP scenario in Adventure 2 (Assassins) and advances a tier? Once he advances to Tier-2, would he automatically receive all of the Tier-1 rewards so that he would effectively have 3 Skill Feats, 2 Power Feats, and 2 Card Feats (two tiers of rewards, plus adventure 1 completion reward)- or is the fact he did not play through Scenario 1 handicap him going forward? I'd like to know how to adjudicate this, but glancing at the Organized Play guide following the scenario, it didn't jump out at me.
Rules for this scenario:
Spoiler:
Using the deck list from Guardpost, build a number of Guardpost locations equal to the number of characters. When you close a location, do not flip the Guardpost card over. Treat the henchman Brimorak as if it is the henchman Corrupted Soldier.
When you permanently close the last location, summon and build the location Laboratory, and shuffle Ylyda Svyn into its location deck. If Ylyda Svyn is undefeated, banish her; the next character summons and encounters Ylyda Svyn as the first exploration of his turn. To win the scenario, defeat Ylyda Svyn.
I don't have the Location card in front of me- but the short and sweet of it is every time you start your turn at (location), summon and encounter the henchmen Corrupted Soldier. Does that summoned Corrupted Soldier add a random armor or weapon from the box? (I know it does not count as a 'henchman' for closing the location.) -- Steve
Ladies and Gentlemen: I know that I haven't had a lot of dealings with the Customer Service team- but Every. Single. One. have been the epitome of courteousness and professionalism. Two Mondays ago I telephoned the Customer Service office as I had yet to receive the 2nd Adventure Deck from the Wrath of the Righteous box. Gave the CSR my order number, they took a look and said, "Yes, the shirts are backordered- let me move them to a sidecart." I received a change of order notification while I was still on the phone with him, a shipment notification within the hour, and I received the Adventure Decks before the week was out. Two days ago, I emailed into Customer Service with some questions on the Class Deck Subscription. This afternoon, I received a response that answered all of the questions I had asked, as well as some that weren't asked. (Thank you, Diego.) Diego's thoughtfulness, professionalism, and suggestions were enough for me to pull the trigger on a second subscription. I believe that, from what I experienced on the five interactions I've had with them over the last 6 years, that this is the norm for Paizo. And, I'm calling them out on it, standing, and applauding them for it. -- Steve Mulhern
This weekend I ran Nexus Game Fair in Milwaukee; two of the scenarios which were offered were the brand-new 6-22 (Out of Anarchy) and 6-23 (The Darkest Abduction). They were not available before Wednesday's download. I just went back into the event to see if IT had added those scenarios yet, and find that #6-97 (Siege of Serpents) and #6-98 (Serpents Rise) are now able to be added, but still now #6-22 and #6-23. Would it be possible to add these two scenarios to module reporting, please? I'd like to be able to close out the convention. -- Steve
Ladies and Gents, I'm pleased to announce that two new Venture Lieutenants have joined the ranks for the Southeast Wisconsin area. The first is Dan Ziermann, Venture-Lieutenant, Milwaukee WI. Dan has been a regular for the last two-plus years at the Game Universe-Greenfield, now Game Universe-Franklin store. He brings a lot of enthusiasm and Pathfinder Society knowledge to the table. The second is Joe Millsaps, Venture-Lieutenant, Kenosha WI. Joe has tirelessly promoted Pathfinder Society at the Board Game Barrister- Greenfield location for the last three-plus years, and brings a tireless enthusiasm about all things Pathfinder. You can see what tables are being run at both stores at the Metro Milwaukee Organized Role Playing Guild Meetup boards. Now that I've posted this, I'm going to be driving to their respective stores and handing them brand-new Venture-Lieutenant shirts so that they can dress the part. :) -- Steve Mulhern
New Venture Captain for the Milwaukee area here (day... 18?). Welcome, and well met. I'm now coordinating conventions in the local Milwaukee area following the departure of the previous VC (Mike Clarke), and note that 7 of the 15 currently published Adventure Paths allow for PFS credit. For the Rise of the Runelords, Carrion Crown, Jade Regent, Skull & Shackles, Shattered Star, Reign of Winter, or Mummy's Mask Adventure Paths available to play for PFS credit, which scenarios would be able to be played, start to finish, in a 6-8 hour timeframe? Looking for honest critiquing of the first or second section of the sanctioned content; for example, from Jade Regent: The Brinewall Legacy: Brinewall of Legacy (lvls 2-4), or Night of the Frozen Shadows: Ravenscraeg (5-7). Basically: What have you played/GM'd, and would recommend for a convention setting? -- Steve
Ladies and Gents, new Venture Captain here (RPG side) who has played a single game of Rise of the Runelords ACG. I see 5 Adventures (0-1 Lost at Sea, etc.) and 25 Scenarios (0-0A On The Horizon, etc). I know that Wrath of the Righteous is right around the corner, so the lady and I would like to try to get through a few series to get some experience for our characters, get to learn the ins-and-outs of the game, etc. The only question is, with 30 different possibilities, where to start? And I'm making an assumption here- is the Adventures similar to a Module on the RPG side, getting more boons and rewards? (RPG Side, a Module gives 3 XP and 4 PP, while a Scenario gives 1 XP, 2 PP). -- Steve
During the last play session I ran my Level 1 Oracle at (Additional Revelation- Life Link and Channel, Tongues (Infernal))- we had a combat in which one of the party members was on a ledge over us, but was crying out in pain (taking damage while solo'ing a cave fisher). Life Link (Su): As a standard action, you may create a bond between yourself and another creature. Each round at the start of your turn, if the bonded creature is wounded for 5 or more hit points below its maximum hit points, it heals 5 hit points and you take 5 hit points of damage. You may have one bond active per oracle level. This bond continues until the bonded creature dies, you die, the distance between you and the other creature exceeds medium range, or you end it as an immediate action (if you have multiple bonds active, you may end as many as you want as part of the same immediate action). I did not have line of sight on the target, but he was within the 100' medium range (the ceiling was 40' above us; assuming 20' additional rock for thickness, and an additional 15' for XY). Was he a legal target for my life link, considering he had total cover? Follow up question: If not- how would you deal with a Life Link/Clouded Vision Oracle setting up a Life Link with someone more than 30 feet away? -- S.
I found it at one point and time, but my Search-Fu is apparently weak at the moment. I have a level 5 Monk (Flowing Monk). Normally, the Flowing Monk does not get Fast Movement (getting Unbalancing Counter instead). I believed that I saw a post indicating that, when you purchase the Braid of a Hundred Masters, if you do not have Fast Movement as a Monk class skill you instead are considered a Monk (0 level), which will give you the necessary +3 Levels for an additional 10 feet of movement. Hoping that someone official can sign off on it, or someone else who has stronger Google-Fu can link to the original Rules thread question. Thank you! Braid of a Hundred Masters: (From Scenario #3-13: The Quest For Perfection, Part 3: Defenders of the Nesting Swallow) (5,200 gp; If the wearer of this necklace has levels in monk, his fast movement and unarmed damage are treated as a monk of 3 levels higher. If the character is not a monk, he gains the fast movement and unarmed damage of a 3rd-level monk. This fast movement functions just like the monk’s fast movement class feature. These bonuses do not stack with those granted by other items or effects. In addition, as a swift action three times per day, a character with the flurry of blows class feature can use the Braid of a Hundred Masters to apply 1-1/2 times his Strength bonus on damage rolls for successful attacks made with flurry of blows. This ability must be activated before the damage from the attack is rolled, though it may be activated after the attack roll is made and before the damage roll. Once this ability is activated, its effect lasts for 1 round.) |
