Zibini, Goblin Psychic's page

You can put your character sheet in your character's profile if you want to. This is often done by people who play pbp on this forum--here, I'll post this with one of my character profiles so you can see how I did it.

But you don't have to. You maintain your own character sheets in whatever format you like, and you don't have to post them on the site. There are rules about rebuilding them, but you're kind of on the honor system about it.

Chronicle boons come from the Chronicles you earn for playing. They used to print them on the Chronicles, but now they're usually on a separate document. Your Chronicle will tell you when you qualify and give you the name of the boon. You won't be able to "purchase" them unless you qualify, but once the game is reported you'll be able to.
Most adventures don't have them. If the middle part of your Chronicle just says you earned Achievement Points, then there isn't one. It'll say something like, "This adventure grants the following unique boon: [Title in Bold]."

Boons from game rewards list their requirements, and you'll be able to download them for a character who meets those requirements. A lot of them are related to factions and reputation--here's the reputation chart. Being "Liked" by a faction requires at least 20 reputation with that faction.

Mentor Boons are on that list. Once a character has 20 rep with a given faction, make sure to pick up the Mentor Boon they're eligible for (every faction has one). Those don't directly help you, but they're important for the lower-level characters who end up in a mostly-higher-level party for a session.

Also on that list: Every character is eligible for a boon that grants a free wayfinder once they've had two games reported.

You need to "buy" those boons to have them, but they don't cost anything. You can get them for free as long as you've met the requirements--and you won't be able to anyway if you haven't.

"Nah, we expected it," says Zibini, between bites of food that he mysteriously acquired, "That always happens."

Zibini gets a gig as a goblin sensitivity reader. The first thing he points out is that most goblins don't read.

Goblin Lore: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27
Success. 8 sp x 8 days = 6.4 gp earned.

"You're not nice!"

The four goblins scramble over each other to reach the spirit. Once again imagining himself (themselves?) as a warrior--though now without the shield, trusting in his mirror images to protect him--Zibini draws a dogslicer from nowhere, then draws it across Wanikkawi. "I'll cut her out!"

Then the sword of force shatters as he becomes overwhelmed again. Too much magic for the little goblin.

◆ Stride to flank
◆◆ Cast amped imaginary weapon. Spell attack (flanking): 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 12 + 1 = 32 for slashing damage: 6d8 + 6 ⇒ (2, 2, 1, 8, 1, 5) + 6 = 25 Oh! If that's a crit, double damage, and the exploding imaginary sword knocks Wanikkawi away up to 10 feet. I'll just push him up into the fire.
Zibini becomes Stupefied 1 again.

Zibini looses his magic once again. It's unusual for a fight to last long enough for him to catch his breath and do it more than once, but nor is it the first time.

Realizing that none of his allies are nearby, he really lets loose this time. Something he's known he could do for a while but has never had the opportunity to try. The force that rolls out from him pushes the grass away and scatters dust and small objects--and blasts against the violent spirit.

Doing that takes a lot of him, but he scoops up one of the rocks with his mind and hurls it harder.

◇ Unleash Psyche
◇ Violent Unleash. Everyone in a 20-foot emanation (that's just Wanikkawi) can make a DC 22 basic Reflex save against force damage: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 4) = 12. Zibini also becomes Stunned 1.
◆◆ Cast telekinetic projectile. Spell attack: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 12 + 1 = 18 for bludgeoning damage: 4d6 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (1, 5, 2, 2) + 6 + 1 = 17

Zibini's ready to heal someone, but Tarkii keeps beating him to it. Oh well! Bashing baddies is better.
With a rock!

He then levels his menacing gaze and his toothy grin at Wanikkawi. "You already told us spirit's promises are lies. But we keep our promises. We defend the fire. You LOSE!"

◆◆ Cast telekinetic projectile. Stupefied Flat check: 1d20 ⇒ 7 Success. Spell attack: 1d20 + 12 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (15) + 12 + 1 - 1 = 27 for bludgeoning damage: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 1, 1) = 9
◆ Demoralize Intimidation: 1d20 + 12 - 1 ⇒ (12) + 12 - 1 = 23
Zibini then recovers from the Stupefied condition.

Zibini's shield of force shatters as he's hit, but it absorbs a good portion of the attack.
Shield Block, breaking all three layers for 20 Hardness.

"So you're the traitor.." says Zibini vaguely, "and the evil spirits don't keep promises?"
This really didn't sound very convincing, but the goblin's head is still spinning so maybe it's just him.

Oh. Bad guy big. Long arms.

Zibini steps back, hopefully out of his reach. Healed and protected, he grins weakly. "Didn't work. Try again." And then, where there was one goblin, there now seem to be four.

◆ Step
◆◆ Cast mirror image Stupefied Flat check: 1d20 ⇒ 13--success.

Will: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21

"Haha!" Zibini laughs as the spirit misses him. He didn't even need his shield! "Ha.. ha... oogh. I feel... You made me allergic to fire??" The goblin is horrified. And oogly.

Absently, he glances over at Avery and gives form to the shadow of her arrow. Arrow and shadow fly together, making it harder for Wanikkawi to avoid the real arrow.

Then, keeping his shield up, he moves away. And, just before being overwhelmed by his own power once more, he sends a burst of fury towards the evil spirit that dared do such an awful thing.

↺ Shadow Projectile. This triggers a RS, but Zibini won't be able to Shield Block it because, well, he used his reaction before his turn on shadow projectile. Wanikkawi can make a DC 21 (-1 for Sickened included) Will save against mental damage: 3d8 + 6 ⇒ (5, 1, 2) + 6 = 14. On a success or worse, he's also Off-Guard against Avery's Strike.
◆ Sustain Amped Shield
◆ Stride
◆ Psi Burst. Wanikkawi can make a DC 21 (Sickened included) basic Reflex save against bludgeoning damage: 3d4 ⇒ (3, 4, 3) = 10
Unleash ends. Zibini is Stupefied 1 for two rounds.

"Would have? So they didn't even do what they promised?"

Zibini laughs at the spirit's foolishness. He laughs and laughs, and again is soon surrounded by magical energy and a swirl of tangible emotions.

Unfortunately, emotional magic was kind of his specialty. And the spirit had already just ignored it once. Affecting his mind seemed hard. Okay! Time to resume his warrior aspect.

Zibini's głowy weapons reform once more, and he lashes out with his imaginary dogslicer.

◇ Unleash Psyche
◆ cast amped shield, which doesn't provoke RS
◆ cast amped imaginary weapon, which does provoke. Spell attack: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 12 + 1 = 22 for slashing damage: 6d8 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (8, 3, 4, 2, 7, 2) + 6 + 1 = 33
Reaction: Zibini will Shield Block if hit, cast shadow projectile if an ally within 20 feet makes a ranged attack, or cast amped guidance if any ally fails anything by 1--whichever is triggered first.

"If you wanna tell us somethin' different, we ASKED!"

Zibini glares at the oversized spirit. "You just can't sit still and play nice, huh? Then DON'T!"

◆ Demoralize Intimidation: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17
◆◆ Cast agitate. DC 22 Will

"It's all lies" followed by a threat was pretty daring.

"Ha! We're not easy prey. Nobody's beat us yet! Yeah, tell us a story! It's much easier and safer."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23

"Heh! They think it's the first time the ground has crumbled beneath us."

Oh whoops, should've used amped guidance on Khaul. I'll watch more carefully this round.

"I'm bright enough already! And joining the Pathfinders has only made me stronger." Zibini holds up his wayfinder and lights it. "Light is our symbol!"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29

"Violent spirits have found we're prepared for war!"

Zibini lays out the sweets, his tone somber because he's giving away the sweets. "But we seek friendship. We fight to protect the fire and the people! But we don't want war. We want everyone safe and warm."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27

Clarity returning to his senses, Zibini embraces the chaos and excitement once again--only for the last monster to fall before he can unleash it. Oh well. He takes the opportunity to share feelings of health and happiness all around, the satisfaction of accomplishment.

Before heavily falling to his feet and looking dazed once. Once that overwhelmed feeling has passed once more, he pokes at one of the fallen undead. "Less spirit-y than I expected."

Moot now since we have time and Avery has Continual Recovery, but Zibini can use Restore the Mind to heal everyone 14 hp.

Well, go with what's working well enough, anyway. Zibini can barely see the monster, past the building and Khaul, but he can see it well enough. He points at a rock, and mentally flings it... it flies off into the darkness in the wrong direction entirely.

◆◆ Cast telekinetic projectile. Stupefied Flat Check: 1d20 ⇒ 18 Successfully cast. Concealment flat check: 1d20 ⇒ 19 Successfully targeted. Spell Attack: 1d20 + 12 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 12 + 1 - 1 = 13 for bludgeoning damage: 4d6 + 1 ⇒ (2, 4, 6, 1) + 1 = 14 Welp, odds of getting good results on three separate d20 rolls were low. Successfully casting the spell at least means he's met the condition for Unleash, even if it accomplished nothing
◆ Sustain shield
Zibini recovers from Stupefied (and can Unleash again next turn, if it lasts that long)

"Eheh, heh." Zibini looks a little wobbly, but levels a hand towards the injured monster.

Success! A rock next to Kaul launches itself through the air towards the creature.
Zibini focuses on keeping his shield up.

◆◆ Cast Telekinetic Projectile vs Red Stupefied Flat Check: 1d20 ⇒ 20 Spell Attack: 1d20 + 12 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (12) + 12 + 1 - 1 = 24 for bludgeoning damage: 4d6 + 1 ⇒ (4, 2, 5, 3) + 1 = 15
◆ Sustain Shield

Haha! Wee! This is going well.

Zibini keeps his shield in place, then grabs again for his invisible sword. This time the weapon slices at both of the zombies around him.

Then something shatters, the colors fade, and Zibini stumbles a little as his full weight lands on the earth again. He looks a little dazed.

◆ Sustain amped shield
◆◆ Cast amped imaginary weapon Spell attack vs Yellow (flanked): 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 12 + 1 = 28 for slashing damage: 6d8 + 6 ⇒ (8, 6, 3, 7, 3, 5) + 6 = 38 and Spell attack vs Pink: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 12 + 1 = 15 for slashing damage: 6d8 + 6 ⇒ (3, 5, 1, 7, 1, 5) + 6 = 28. On crit double damage.
Hero Point that second attack: Hero Point vs Pink: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 12 + 1 = 33
Zibini's Unleash ends, and he's Stupefied 1 for two rounds.

Zibini laughs as the zombie falls right into his very clever and carefully-laid trap. Even though it punches him. He laughs and feels a rush of excitement that anyone near him can also feel as his emotions burst outward. He almost seems lighter, as though his feet barely touch the ground, as colors start swirling around him.

He looks at the creature and realizes it would probably be better if he was a warrior. So he decides to be that, for the moment.
And, for just a moment, he takes on that persona, with a translucent shield and jagged sword. The shield he raises defensively. The blade he uses to slice the undead monster.

◇ Unleash Psyche
◆ Cast amped Shield on self (concentrate only, doesn't trigger most reactions). Amping it costs a focus point, makes it a sustained spell with multiple layers, and increases Hardness.
◆◆ Cast imaginary weapon (may trigger RS) Spell attack: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 12 + 1 = 22 for slashing damage: 4d8 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (7, 1, 3, 6) + 6 + 1 = 24; on crit, double damage and push 10 feet
↺ Shield Block if hit by an attack dealing physical damage, or any spell dealing damage. Hardness 10/15/20

A very silly offer, and a very silly complaint--why do they care about the tradition if they just want to attack the town anyway? "You don't make sense!"

The goblins scurries a little closer. "I know how to fight zombies. I cut 'em up all the time!" They are a little far, though.

Zibini points at a jagged rock, then directs it towards the closest zombie. He rotates his fingers as he does, sending it spinning rather than point-first. For cutting!

◆ Stride
◆◆ Cast telekinetic projectile against Yellow Spell attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30 for slashing damage: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 3, 4) = 10 (double on a crit)

Zibini has already recovered by then. Pearly white spindle.

At the feast they had meat with berries, meat stew, some other goop that smelled weird, and pudding. It was a good feast.

"Offers like help, or offers like bribes?" Zibini nods along with Salaish's observation. He would like to be offered a bribe. It's nice just to be acknowledged, y'know? Plus then he can be all cool and defiant and noble and stuff!

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34

"I've faced loads of evil spirits before. I'm not scared! Are you worried about us being too aggressive and upsetting friendly spirits? We're being friendly to you!"

"Oh! We can do it, we're Pathfinders!" say Zibini with a vigorous nod, "But we'd be glad to have you looking out for the city too. Even if it's 'cuz you don't think we can do it, it doesn't hurt to be extra-sure!"

"We're the Pathfinder Society! We also keep people safe. And have parties!"

Zibini does not question why he keeps getting sent on missions that involve party planning, but someone else might.

"Hi!" says Zibini with a jovial wave, "You look kind of strange. You must be one of the spirits that we're supposed to give dessert or fight. Do you have a preference?"

Reflex: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23

"Oh no, I dropped the summer mushrooms!"

In that case, a point less but it wasn't a critical failure anyway because of the lower DC.

"Forests aren't all the same!" says Zibini cheerfully. But he does know a few things about plants, too.

Don't suppose Forestry Lore would do?
Nature: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
Hero Point: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14 Pft. Well, that pushed it out of critical failure anyway.

Reflex: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 31

Peppers can only make it better, really. But Zibini has already knocked some away reflexively before thinking about it, because that's how he typically reacts to things flying at his face.

Lingering composition, I think (which is often coupled with inspire).

"I just do this, right?"

"NO!" shouts Zibini's tagalong cousin, stepping in to help.

Survival (Hireling): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

While Tup is screwing up a little less badly than Zibini would have on his own, the scruffy goblin focuses feelings of hope and encouragement towards Avery. Which, with his emotional magic, might actually help!

Guidance on Avery. It's a different bonus type!

"Hey hey hey now! Let's stay in sight. Friendly spirits only come out when everyone is together. Unfriendly ones might find you alone, though."

And if that doesn't work, Zibini tries to hold the kids' attention with some magic tricks, casting prestidigitation and figment liberally.

Self-guidance, then Diplomacy: 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 14 + 1 = 25

"Stay ready Khaul. Don't get too distracted. You are here to stop the kids getting hurt."

And as I'm untrained in all those skills... Khaul will pass.

"Just do what I do, Cal!"

Zibini is an expert, so you can probably Follow the Expert.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33

Zibini imitates the nimble redcap--wait, he might have his fey mixed up...

"I am a scary, evil, um.. GOBLIN! Oh, no that's not a spirit."

Zibini has encountered a lot of undead, but those might be a little too scary. Are fey "spirits"?

Waving a hand, an ominous red cap appears on his head (figment), though getting it to stay on is a problem and soon the hat falls away. Giggling menacingly, he says "It is a sinister redcap! Here to draw blood!"
Hang on, is that less scary? Oh well!

Figment is one of Zibini's psi cantrips, so he can move it. But... poorly. He can move it 15 feet while sustaining the spell. Not very convincing for clothing you're supposedly wearing.

They have to fight monsters, make friends with monsters, and on top of that they have to do party planning?
Best mission ever!

"We should have lots of meat. And cookies. And meat with cookies. Spirits like cookies." Zibini nods to reassure the others.

I've added a "known associates" section to Zibini's profile and added this party to it. That's easy enough.

The problem is that I needed to start doing it back when I started playing PFS...

I really need to start tracking which other PCs each of mine have met.

"I am as powerful as at least seven small children!" Zibini boasts confidently.

The goblin's expression is much less serious. He wears scruffy brown robes and looks absolutely thrilled to be here, munching on whatever local food he could get his hands on.

"Hi, I'm Zibini!" he says, "I do magic!"

He's accompanied by another goblin, who looks rather nervous. "That's my cousin. Don't worry too much about him."
Hireling.

I do have other characters of levels 5, 7, and 8 (one of each), but I'm fine as-is.

Oh hey, there's a discussion thread.

Homework complete.
I have two Glyphs, although doesn't look like that matters.

Zibini is a Psychic. He doesn't have focus spells, but instead has cantrips that are slightly better than usual when he uses them. He can spend a focus point to "amp" them, which improves them to focus-spell-level. Two I should point out are guidance and shield.

Zibini can cast guidance as a reaction when the bonus would improve a check from a critical failure to a regular failure, or from a failure to a success. The range is 120 ft and it doesn't matter if the target is otherwise immune to guidance, but casting it this way costs him a focus point.
He will generally do so when this trigger is met.

For him, shield is a ranged spell. If he casts it on an ally, they get the bonus to AC and the effects of Shield Blocking, but it's still his choice and his reaction to block.

He has a +1 circumstance bonus to Initiative checks from his Twitchy feat, which increases to +4 if an enemy uses Deception or Diplomacy. I've included that on the macros page, I'm just pointing it out because it's the same bonus type as Scouting so doesn't stack with that. It also gives him +1 to all defenses against hazards.

Zibini has a wand of mage armor he uses every day. I've just included it in his stats so it's effectively constant.

(This might be my most complicated character, or at least the one with the most stuff I should point out to the GM.)

Provisions... Looks like we probably don't particularly need healing, so I suppose I should take a scroll. Salaish took heroism? Then I'll take haste.

Friendly fire okay if you think it's worth it. But he's little, so be gentle.

Crafting: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Having finally recovered from overexerting himself magically, Zibini takes the opportunity to do it again!

The fact that the enemy seems to be immune to his magic makes it a lot less useful... but it still makes him a better healer. He pushes encouragement and strength towards Meadow and Tiger.

◇ Unleash Psyche
◆ Sustain shield
◆ Restore the Mind. Lazzare is immune for 10 minutes and it only works on allies, so heal Meadow 12.
◆ Restore the Mind. Also heal Jadran 12.

I definitely wrote a post. Did I close the window without actually posting it or something?

With all the different emotions whirling around him, Zibini attempts to send a wave of reassurance towards Tiger.

It works! And clarity suddenly returns. Time to overextend himself again!

◆◆ Cast Soothe. Stupefied flat check: 1d20 ⇒ 12. Success. Tiger heals: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 and gains a +2 status bonus to saves against mental effects for one minute
◆ Sustain amped shield.
Frightened ticks down to 0, and Stupefied also ends.

It's not very intimidating if the person is looking two feet to your left.

The Demoralize against Zibini is a critical success because of the Stupefied penalty to his Will DC.
The attack is a crit regardless. By a lot.

Zibini is Stupefied... that's a critical success.
Mirror Image: 1d4 ⇒ 4 The crit destroys an image and becomes a regular hit. Two images remain.
↺ Shield Block and break one layer (assuming it's a magical effect? If not I can't do this since it's not physical damage either). 13 - Hardness 10 = 3 damage taken. Two shield layers remain.

Lazzare is too far away to heal. And too far away to need healing, probably. And Zibini's a little too woozy to be sure he can do it. He stumbles back a little, then glares at the sparkly light and musters all the confidence he can into one toothy, laughing smile. Although it's more of a nervous giggle.

◆ Step
◆ Sustain amped shield
◆ Demoralize Red with Intimidating Glare Intimidation (Frightened): 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 11 - 2 = 10

Point Out is an action (it's more than just "Something is there," it pinpoints it). But Commanding a familiar is one action that gives them two actions to use.

Seeing Lazzare get hurt, Zibini projects a feeling of strength and confidence towards him. He then directs a surge of anger at the now-visible wisp, while keeping up his own defenses.

It's a little too much, and he's overwhelmed by the power, looking a little dizzy.

◆ Sustain shield... although if they attack with electricity I might not get much out of it anyway.
◆ Restore the Mind. Lazzare regains 12 hp.
◆ Psi Burst. DC 21 basic Will save against mental damage: 3d4 ⇒ (4, 1, 1) = 6. This isn't a spell, but is a magical ability with the Concentrate, Evocation, Mindshift, Occult, Psyche, and Psychic traits.
Unleash Psyche then ends. Zibini is Stupefied for two rounds, and can't Unleash again for two rounds.
