Any GM Glyphs?
Or anything in particular I need to know about your character, such as Dubious Knowledge?
How do you feel about taking friendly fire?
This is a GameDay game, so you should be signed up on the spreadsheet before you come here. That also means we have a scheduled start date of September 4th.
Fixed the access issue with the Slides.

1. 3 glyphs
2. Nothing unusual about the character other than he is a melee ranger, so despite being DEX-based, he will prefer to be up front. Edit: Also, Sunshine has a Belt of Good Health, an Uncommon item from the Beginner's Box.
3. Friendly fire is okay as long as Sunshine isn't dying or close to dying, and gets to deal a reciprocal amount of damage out of combat in retribution.

Brother Nebulous has not yet reached level 4 but he will just before Game Day, so I will fill in his details first as if he were level 4. I have his profile typed up and ready to upload to his character page and will do so once I complete the scenario which levels him up.
1. No Glyphs (yet).
2. He has the Razmirian Priest dedication, so he can once per minute as a 2 action activity grant 8 Temp HP which lasts for 24 hours. This temp HP can awaken a dying or unconscious PC. He can keep doing this an unlimited amount of time per day, so there will be a guaranteed flow of Temp HP if you give him even 10 minutes to reapply it.
In short, everyone is getting 8 Temp HP.
3. Friendly fire is okay as long as Brother Nebulous isn't dying or close to dying. To be honest, he's probably going to be the one dealing friendly fire and healing it off, so...
4. For anyone who uses the Paizo Campaign Tools extension, this is what he actually looks like.
5. He 100% sounds like Palpatine.
I also have 3 glyphs to share, though it sounds like we already are well above the threshold to each being with 2.
I ran this 2 years ago, but have never played it.
Ephesian is going to be level 5 by the time that we start, and is fine taking some friendly fire.
There are a couple oddities for Ephesian:
1) He has the Willing Host Background from 03-98, so I might try to channel spirits to make a check I normally couldn't.
2) He has the reaction:
From 01-11 Flames of Rebellion
You are the rightful master of the infernal keep known as Diggen’s Rest. Once per adventure, you can
use the following reaction:
Infernal Detonations [reaction] Trigger A creature within 30 feet of you targets you or an ally with an attack; Effect The creature
takes fire damage equal to 1d6 + your level (basic Reflex save). The DC of the Reflex save is equal to your spell DC or your
class DC, whichever is higher.
3) Ephesian is a Regalia and Mirror Thaumaturge, so everyone who stays within 15ft of him gets a +1 status to saving throws against fear and I reduce frightened values of allies within 15ft of me by 1 at the end of my turn. There might be two of me when this happens.
4) Finally, Ephesian has the flame oracle archetype, so he's going to be casting Oracular Warning at the start of combat and lighting himself on fire a little bit (1 persistent fire damage per round.
Looks like everyone's signed in to the thread, but we still need some on RPG Chronicles, macros, and tokens on the Slides.
Looks like there are enough Glyphs for everybody to start with two Hero Points.
Still need:
Dinardin and Tieri on RPGChronicles.
Macros for Sunshine and Tieri.
Tokens for Sunshine and Tieri. We can always use your forum avatars if you don't have other tokens.

My apologies. Macros and tokens for Sunshine are filled in.
BTW, the formulas for the Lore skills were off on Dindarin and Sunshine's sheets. For example, on Dindarin's sheet, cell F34 has his Warfare Lore modifier, but cell J34 references cell F35 (the next line). This causes the macro to be blank. I fixed Sunshine's sheet, and the first four sheets are already fixed. You (GM) may want to check your template to see if it's a problem with the template.
Hero Point nominations?

Sunshine for keeping up the RP.
Something thats been causing me considerable delay is our approach to this situation. Are we telling her the whole truth, part of it, or lying about it?
Brother Nebulous feels like we've got enough clues to tell her the truth. If we could get our stories straight I think it would help.
|
|
I take that as a yes...
LOL yes, that's a yes. As long as it doesn't kill me.
That sounds unnecessarily complex - you need dangerous chemicals just to worship. What if I just take your money for tithes and beat you instead?
Only the faithful of Zon-Kuthon are allowed to participate in the beating rituals.

So for Lokoloko's downtime (assuming he comes out the other side), he's going to create 4 vials of Moderate Bottled Lightning. So assuming I'm reading this right (8d downtime):
1d - spend 20gp up front to prep and get raw materials
Make a crafting check (DC 18 for a lvl 3 item)
Spend the next 7+ days with another crafting (or other downtime) check to pay off the balance?
All correct, except you don't need another check to keep working.
As a level 5 Expert, you'll earn 1 gp per day towards the project (or 2 gp per day on a critical success). That's not enough to fully finish it, but you can either shelve it and then keep working on it during your next downtime, or pay the balance to complete it immediately.
I just missed updating that on the tracker.

Just dropping it here for the record. Lokoloko will begin crafting 4 vials of Moderate Bottled Lightning.
He's going to spend 20gp up front for the raw materials. With the formula it takes him 1d to get everything together.
vs DC 18 (Lvl 3)
Wow... Crit for 2 gp/day!
So for the remaining 7d he'll earn 14 of the remaining 20 (which means the next downtime he can finish the batch and still have some time left over to do the usual earn income?
-- did I do this right? First time doing a crafting for Downtime.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
That is correct.
[X] Spend 20 gp on raw materials and burn 1 day
[X] Make a Crafting check vs the Item's DC (Item Level 3 = Item DC 18)
-[ ] On CF, lose 10% of the raw materials and start over (but you can only start 1 project per Downtime unit, so you'll have to find something else to do for 7 days)
-[ ] On F, you have to start over but get the full value of raw materials back.
-[ ] On S, you Earn Income based on your character level and proficiency (Character Level 5 = Task Level 5, Expert = 1.0 gp/day)
-[X] On CS, you Earn Income based on your character level+1 and proficiency (Character Level 5 = Task Level 6, Expert = 2.0 gp/day)
[X] Apply that amount toward your completion every day you choose to work on it. It doesn't need to be contiguous.
Day 1: Lead Time
Day 2: +2 gp, 22/40 completed
Day 3: +2 gp, 24/40 completed
Day 4: +2 gp, 26/40 completed
Day 5: +2 gp, 28/40 completed
Day 6: +2 gp, 30/40 completed
Day 7: +2 gp, 32/40 completed
Day 8: +2 gp, 34/40 completed
Next Downtime block
Day 1: +2 gp, 36/40 completed
Day 2: +2 gp, 38/40 completed
Day 3: +2 gp, 40/40 compelted
And you'll have 4 days left over to start a new project or whenever.

Two minor weirdnesses:
1. If you level up during a project, I've been told that the amount automatically adjusts. So, for example, if Lokoloko leveled up after this adventure, the downtime wouldn't change for this Chronicle, but for your first Chronicle at Level 6, you'd automatically increase to +2.5 gp/day (Character Level 6, Task Level 7) and complete the item on Day 2.
The weirdness is that I cannot find this in the rules (rulebooks or Lorespire), and as a result, I do NOT apply this to my crafting characters. If you want to Craft bigger things (things that might span more than a level), you should probably figure this out.
2. If you have a formula of an item, you have the formula for all the levels of that item. So, for example, you don't need to buy a Level 3 formula for moderate bottled lightning - you can buy the Level 1 formula for lesser bottled lightning, instead.
Again, the weirdness is that I cannot find this in the rules or Lorespire. But this one I read myself on the Paizo forums from someone official-ish, which seems official enough for me. I apply this to my crafting characters. On a practical level, the cost of formulas is relatively small: your 40 gp batch of moderate bottled lightnings would have a one-time, 1 gp surcharge if you can use the lesser bottled lightning formula, 3 gp if you have to use the moderate formula.
Happy crafting!

I found it:
It's listed under 'Formula Book', last paragraph.
And the hits keep coming.
Anyway, now might be a good time to double-check RPG Chronicles and make sure everything looks right. Lokoloko, I'll point out that if you want to have a chance to win a door prize, you are required to provide an email address.
And if you'd like to make downtime checks in this thread, go ahead and do that now.

Fixed.
You improved Lolly Adafish's attitude to Friendly, but not all the way to Helpful, so I check box A and not B.
You did not earn at least 15 Clue Points, I don't check box C.
You completed your primary objective and earn 2 Reputation with your chosen faction by earning at least 7 Clue Points and defeating the Ninth Army attack at noon on Fireday.
You completed your secondary objective and earn 2 Reputation with your chosen faction by doing at least two of earning at least 15 Clue Points, completing your investigation without needing to use Gloriana's signet ring to get out of trouble, and improving Lolly Adafish's attitude to Friendly or better.
You earn one Treasure Bundle for each Clue Point, maximum 10, but lose one if you destroyed one of Muesello's doors to break into his study. You earned 12 Clue Points and did not destroy a door, so you get the full 10.
Done.
