Hi, I emailed paizocon@paizo.com 14 days ago regarding my PaizoCon 2020 ticket status, and received no response.

I have both a 2020 banquet ticket and a 2020 PaizoCon ticket, and want to check on the status of my convention ticket and banquet ticket, as well as the hotel block for that weekend.

Order 12995458: Banquet
Order 8259784: Convention

I know I didn't receive a refund, and plan to attend in person.

Thank you!

I called your office, left a message, and wrote several emails.

What gives?

I asked you to cancel my subscriptions several weeks ago, repeatedly.

Making my customer service request a public discussion is also super sketchy.


TL;DR: The bard player is arguing that lingering composition is a Performance check, and another player is stating it's Casting a Spell (Focus spell).

I have a player playing a polymath bard with lingering composition.

This player insists that when casting the composition Focus spell, on the composition’s Performance check, a critical failure is the same as a failure, and the bard doesn’t expend the Focus point (because the Focus spell requires a Performance check to determine duration, and lingering composition doesn't have a critical failure entry, only a failure entry).

My ruling as GM is that the bard is casting a Focus spell, and that the Casting a Spell rule is the active component, not the Performance check.
