Hey guys. Two slots just opened in our group due to a couple of drop outs from inactivity. If anyone's interested to join, please read through the Campaign Info section.

Lawful gods taken are: Alseta, Andoletta, and Lissala

If there's any other questions, as away.

Hey guys, one of our guys dropped before the first combat scenario. If there's anyone who wants to join, please read through the Campaign Info for more details be submitting your PC draft.

NOTE: I'll need you to show your updated inventory sheet on the Google Sheet we're using.

For what seems to be years, all you have experienced is silence. Perhaps you were taken during the first year of conflict, or maybe even just a last minute pick after the decades of deliberation by the Neutrals. Either way, you now dwell in the darkness of your mind. Your body does not move as you sleep in the Void, but during the short bursts of consciousness you think you have, you feel weightless.

Now, you feel a shift. Gravity takes its hold on you once again, pulling you down back to the surface of the.. a world. Flashes of memory rush through your mental being, from your first memories as a child up to the moment you were taken by the gods. They remind you of your task... your commitment to serve them... or die trying.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The flashes of memory end with a bright light, forcing you awake. You lie down on a large boulder where a symbol of your deity etched upon its surface. Stalactites and stalagmites protrude all around, blocking much of your view but you manage to see one exit to the small chamber you are in. A few holes on the ceiling extend to what seems to be the surface, allowing light to spill into the room in small rays of light only a few inches in diameter.

You feel lost, and do not know where to go exactly, but you know your task as a voice from memory echoes:
"Find the others, each one holds a key to find the Pantheon."

Feel free to role play a bit. Once you're ready, pick a direction (left or right) and roll a d100 and Perception.

The flashes of memory end with a bright light, forcing you awake. You lie down on a large stump of wood upon which is burned a symbol of your deity, its roots extend from its base only to join with the roots of nearby trees. You are in a small clearing in a very thick section of a forest, bushes taller than you blocking most of the view. The only source of light seems to come from high above, where sunlight has managed to break through the tree tops but even that is scarce.

You feel lost, and do not know where to go exactly, but you know your task as a voice from memory echoes:
"Find the others, each one holds a key to find the Pantheon."

Feel free to role play a bit. Once you're ready, pick a direction (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, and NW) and roll a d100 and Perception.

Hey guys, thanks for participating. I'll put up the Gameplay thread shortly, but first please review the updated house rules in the CAMPAIGN INFO section. If you have any questions or concerns, please post them here so we can settle it before we start. Also, please note my comments on the spoiler below and make any necessary adjustments. Otherwise, just post that you're ready.

The most important part is the TRACKING SHEET (a link to it is on the top of this page). I've already created a tab for each of you to fill up. I need it for faster tracking of character wealth long term, so please fill it in. There are formulas already included. You may look to the EXAMPLE tab as reference.

Again, you still have 24hrs to finalize your character profiles, after which I will put up the Gameplay thread. I also expect to see the quick info bar beneath your name fitted with frequently used stats by then.

Minimum Quickbar Contents:
Class & Level | HP | Other stats for monitoring (e.g. Spell, channel, rage, arrow counters) | AC normal, t, ff | CMD | Saves | Initiative | Perception

INTRODUCTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ever since Asmodeus killed his brother Ihys, the other gods are always wary despite the peace they've had since the War of Heaven. They all agree on one thing however, a conflict directly involving the gods would destroy all of creation.

Now, their peace hang by a thread as the rift between order and chaos rage once again. Already, parts of the universe have distorted and threads of time merged. Gods who stand between finally intervened and proposed to let their creations battle in their stead. These neutral gods have spent the next decade designing the battle ground while the other gods plan and scheme their way to victory. And so, people and creatures of all ages have been disappearing from across the land over the years where they sleep in the Void until they have been called by the Neutrals. Blessed or cursed, willing or not, they will represent the gods in the final clash between Order and Chaos. But first, they must prove themselves worthy to reach the final arena or die trying...

Hey guys,
I'm relatively new to the game (~3months), and this is my first d20 game too. That didn't stop me from being inspired enough to run my own adventure though. So now I'm thinking to give it a shot in PbP first. Depending on my load by the time I finish the first arc of the story, I may need a co-GM to run the second group of companions though.

But enough with that; let me show you what I got and feel free to send me some feedback. If I can gather enough interest, then I'll put up the official recruitment thread as soon as I can where you can post your character concepts.

EDIT: I'll probably go with anything Paizo with no 3PP. Gunslingers won't have advanced weapons to choose from, and will be limited to one for either group due to scarcity of ammunition.

Discussion tab is now open.
Also, we'll also be using Google Draw as map tool.

You are in Absalom, the mighty City at the Center of the World, and you’ve always longed to explore one of the countless ruins of failed conquerors that litter the plains outside the city’s walls. You’ve heard rumors that one of the sealed siege castles has been laid open by a minor earthquake. Word on the street is that no one has yet entered the tower, which folks are calling the “Fallen Fortress.” What better way to start a life of excitement and adventure than by exploring its long-abandoned, dusty halls and perhaps claiming its ancient treasures?

You have meet each other one bright morning in front of Absalom's Eagle Garrison and saw a posting from a local wealthy collector looking for any relics inside the Fallen Tower. It looked exciting and seemed like a simple task for a group of start-up adventurers. Agreeing to tackle the tower together and share the prize, you meet each other at the nearest city gate towards the Cairnlands after a couple of hours of preparation.

You guys have enough time to do some last minute purchases in Absalom before starting. I'll open up the Discussion tab for your introduction to each other.

INVITED PLAYERS ONLY
This is a closed recruitment thread for a pre-defined list of players.

- Please read through the Campaign Info tab before proceeding.
- Confirm which PFS character you'll be using by posting using its alias.

I've been reading through but there seems to be different opinions across different threads. But anyway, here's the question:

I have a monk with a cestus. If it's equipped on both hands, how is damage applied if I use Unarmed Strike, not the weapon itself?

Case 1: Apply standard monk unarmed damage, but retain crit range (19-20) and the option to deal Pierce or Bludgeoning damage. (logically it should be both, but APG says OR)

Case 2: Apply all cestus stats; damage 1d4+STR. A good way to endorse this weapon to a monk. ;)

Now here's the catch, according to APG, here is the description of Cestus:
The cestus is a glove of leather or thick cloth that covers the wielder from mid-finger to mid-forearm. The close combat weapon is reinforced with metal plates over the fingers and often lined with wicked spikes along the backs of the hands and wrists. While wearing a cestus, you are considered armed and your unarmed attacks deal normal damage. If you are proficient with a cestus, your unarmed strikes may deal bludgeoning or piercing damage. Monks are proficient with the cestus. When using a cestus, your fingers are mostly exposed, allowing you to wield or carry items in that hand, but the constriction of the weapon at your knuckles gives you a –2 penalty on all precision-based tasks involving that hand (such as opening locks).

then, looking back a bit, here is the description of Brass Knuckles in APG:
These close combat weapons are designed to fit comfortably around the knuckles, narrowing the contact area and therefore magnifying the amount of force delivered by a punch. They allow you to deal lethal damage with unarmed attacks. You may hold, but not wield, a weapon or other object in a hand wearing brass knuckles. You may cast a spell with a somatic component while wearing brass knuckles if you make a concentration check (DC 10 + the level of the spell you’re casting). Monks are proficient with brass knuckles and can use their monk unarmed damage when fighting with them.

This leads me to conclude that it could simply be a case of forgetting to add the last bit of text for the Cestus since Brass Knuckles are functionally similar to it... Thus Case 1 will hold true, but I hope this can be verified by someone with legal authority.

1. Correct HP growth?
I posted this question recently and was replied that it would be handled similar to an animal companion with 5 base HP at lvl1 then 6, 5, 6, and so on. Just wanted to give it a second shot since I checked that the max roll for an Eidolon is 10 and initially assumed that it should be max HP at level 1 similar to PCs.

2. Eidolon with traits?
I was using PC Gen with PFS Resources loaded to create him and had traits in the 'things to do' list, which I did. Is this normal?

1. For the summoner's eidolon, what is its HP at lvl1 and growth rules for PFS?
2. When I take levels as an Eldritch Knight, does my Summon Monster spell as a summoner also improve if the effective class level is reached as well?
3. Same case as #2, does the effective Eidolon level increase too?

Sorry for if these seems like noob questions but reading CRB and APG makes it seem it could be taken both ways...

Before I permanently create one I wanted to get your advice if it will be legal to roll-up a Fetchling. The Organized Play Guide says:

"Select your character’s class and race from the choices
offered in the Core Rulebook. You may also select aasimar,
tengu, or tiefling as your character’s race with access to
the proper Additional Resources book. Other races are not
legal unless the character’s Chronicle stack includes a race
boon. Additional class and race options from resources like
the Pathfinder RPG Advanced Player’s Guide, Pathfinder RPG
Ultimate Magic, Pathfinder RPG Ultimate Combat, Pathfinder
RPG Advanced Race Guide, and Pathfinder Campaign Setting:
The Inner Sea World Guide are generally available with few
or no alterations, as well."

Does this mean I can choose a Shadow Caller Fetchling with standard racial traits if I have ARG or do I still have to get the boon before doing so?

Hey Guys,
Do you know of any local players in the Philippines? Preferrably in mid or southern Luzon, but all will be welcome. If you do, please help me get in touch with them. :)

I'm trying to setup a group and have already started on an FB page.

Cheers,
DF

Hello,
I can't believe it took me 24yrs to discover that a game such as this existed... But once I did, I immediately bought an PFRPG Beginner Box to start with. lol

Anyway, while waiting for it to be shipped to the Philippines, I've been browsing the site trying to understand the dynamics of PFS. Here are the things I wanted to have clarification on regarding online play that I can't seem to find using this site's search toolbar:

1. There are a lot of different scenarios to choose from. As a player only, do I need to buy a copy of that scenario or is that for GMs only?

2. I read a post about there being custom info sheets... What's the recommended standard info sheet to use? Is there an Excel File that on-computer users can use instead? (I'm a relatively good user on it and could generate one if necessary)

3. How do you qualify to be a GM (at least for online play)?

4. Is there some sort of incentive for being a GM?

PS Please pardon me if the last question touches a sensitive subject. It just seems that learning PFRPG enough to be an official GM has a learning curve by itself and carry much more responsibility during the game... Also a yes to the latter option of question #1 means GMs spend more too.
