I would like some feedback from other GMs on how to handle impossible faction quests. Example: the quest can only be met by sleight of hand, and player does not have sleight of hand.

Thank you!

Is it possible to have PCs play in the first steps scenarios, but play in other scenarios in between? This would cause them to level early. Is this possible and how would it work? If they can only play through say the first scenario and then level off of other scenarios, when do they declare faction and do they get the pp from the first scenario?

Though I can see someone playing 1 or 2 of these and not finishing the series and moving on to other scenarios, but once you Reach Level 2 you can no longer play them, they are 1st Level only.

So do they declare a faction at the start of their first non "First Steps" scenario? and also receive the pp from their played scenarios at that time? That is what would make the most sense to me, but I am not sure that is how it would work.

This is very unclear, in fact my husband and I had a long debate about this rule just yesterday. My take is that you start to move through the enemy square, which triggers an AOO. You use your keen acrobatics to avoid the attack. If your acrobatics are not so keen, then the attack takes place, stopping you before you can move fully through. Basically..a failed tumble means AOO and being stopped just adjacent to the foe, no moving through. That's how I run it at my table. My husband on the other hand runs his table that a failed tumble is simply a no move through, no AOO. It is his opinion that an acrobatics check eliminates the risk of AOO either way. What we do agree on is it is a matter of GM discretion and not defined in the rules one way or another.

Have the GM rewards changed? Or is there an error with the new system? I posted my character at the top of the reporting form, but I only received partial PA for my character instead of full.
