Welcome Avivia, and thanks for all the wine puns!

Brooch of protection. A limited muti-use armor like item. Using tokens as charges like this is a great idea, and something I think can go a long way to improving functionality of this already fun game. I hope there are more cards that make use of this mechanic!

I'm enjoying running the Dragon's Demand but my PCs threw a curveball at me after the auction. You see, they kept for themselves the items in the cave (including the Secrets of the Dreaming Dark), and after the attack at the auction by Aeteperax's minions and subsequent meeting at the baroness' place, the PCs felt guilty (i.e., by keeping the book, the dragon got furious and attacked Belhaim, so it's their fault) and decided to travel straight to the monastery to negotiate with the dragon by giving him the books. Since they wanted to negotiate, the village elders did not give the PCs their dragonslaying equipment. Although they were convinced to try to go to Tula's tomb, but after that, what now? Any ideas on how to get them to change their minds to kill the dragon instead?

Hi all! I'm been enjoying running the downtime rules with my players but we need clarification on some things:

1. Phases and PCs: how do you run it? Does 1 PC goes through all the phases then the next PC goes through all the phases -- or should PCs go through say phase 1 in turn order, then phase 2 in turn order, etc.

2. Broken condition: due to catastrophic rolls, a PC's inn had a major fire event and gains the broken condition. To fix it, the rules say he just pays half the original gp or capital cost to rebuild it. It does not mention Time. So once the PC pays the cost then the inn is good as new instantly?

3. Capital sharing: Buildings costs a lot of capital. Can PCs pool their capital together to build a building? I think this is ok but how do we deal with unfortunate events like loss of capital from events? Rules say you can't go into debt -- so if a PC rolls bad in the event phase (like a major fire) and he doesn't have enough capital to lose, does his partners make up for it (i.e., pays/losses capital in the amount he cannot pay)?

If I take Qualzar's power feat to put on top of the location deck the monster that he evades, can he still opt to have the monster shuffled in the location instead?

Hi all. I'm enjoying the downtime rules presented in this book, but I'm just unsure about one thing -- if you build a building, does it come with employees already? If not, how many do I need to hire to make the building functional? Let's say I built a tavern. Do the cooks, barkeep, etc already come as part of the cost you pay to have it built?

Hackbut Matchlock from the Gunslinger deck says it can't be used versus a bane with Before You Act powers. Does this restriction still apply when you want to discard this card to add 1d6 to a combat check at another location?

Hi all! I'm using the Beginner Box to play through the Dragon's Demand module. For most part, I didn't have much trouble using the simple rules to run the module, and I find that I can use the CRB/Bestiary and the Game Master's Guide interchangeably.

However, in the course of using the BB rules and the CRB/Bestiary, I discovered two things:

1. The skeleton in the Bestiary has broken scimitar +0 (1d6) and claw -3 (1d4+1) while the one in the GMG has scimitar +2 (1d6+2) and claw +2 (1d4+2)! I would have thought the GMG would have the weaker version, but clearly not. They have the same CR (1/3); how could this be?

2. Scent monster ability is included in some monster stats in the GMG, but there are no rules associated with it? Hmmm...

Hi all,

Need your recommendation on my next class deck purchase. If I want a healer type deck, aside from the obvious 'cleric' class deck, which ones are out there that you can recommend?

So my kid makes a half-elven wizard (illusionist), currently at level 2. I suggested that since her character is a half-elf, she take advantage of multi-classing. Her PC's stats: Str 10, Dex 14, Con 14, Int 18, Wis 10, Cha 10. She decides on rogue for her next class. Any tips, feats to take, skills to focus on? Her PC is the party's primary face and skill monkey, but would love to be more active in combat.

Hi all,

I ran a PFS quest last night and the wizard and his familiar got caught in a burning hands trap. Questions:

1. The 7 HP familiar took 8 damage -- is it dead, or can the cleric still heal it?
2. I rolled damage only once for the burning hands trap for all those caught in the 15 ft cone -- am I supposed to roll separately for all the PCs in the area of effect?

Am still very new to the RPG so please help me out :)

If you ever acquire this card, how is it going to ever be recharged if only 1 per promo is allowed per set?!

Hi all,

With regards to the SotRu rewards that let you exchange items for loot (say exchange 1 item for the Sihedron Medallion), when can players do that? Anytime before the game starts, or anytime during actual game play?

With resurrection, can the dead character use his die bump to contribute to the 3 needed to resurrect a character, or only 'living' characters can do this?

Thanks!
