Well, this is the OOC thread of our PFS game. So... hello everyone!

Pah! I use the list feature I don't need any of your dots

You only say that because you secretly needed to dot this thread. :P

Watch yer toung! If I needed a dot I would have said so!
Wanders off muttering about dots and something about leading someone to a pit trap.

Here we go!

Regarding Quioxti's attack bonus, it made me realize that Torillan is in the same boat.

He should have a +7 to attack, broken down thusly:

BAB +1, Dex +3 (from Weapon Finesse), +1 Weapon Focus, +1 Masterwork Elven Curve Blade, and a +1 for the Heirloom trait bonus.

Am I wrong about this? That seems somewhat redundant, as the description for the Heirloom Weapon trait seems to take over the Masterwork weapon quality bonus. A +1 to attack for a trait seems overbalanced.

Does this make any sense?

Grand Lodge

Yeah its a Trait that is better than a feat. Not sure why its still around but that the correct interpritation as far as I can tell.

I have yet to see the trait in action at higher levels, but I imagine it eventually gets lost in amongst the other bonuses, such as that from +2 and +3 magic weapons. But, at lower levels it's a hell-of-a boost when coupled with the masterwork quality.

Say, does anyone know how to change the faction icon that appears next to my name? Quioxti is certainly not Osirian.

I too would like to know that, having the little Andoran Symbol next to my name would be nice.

[EDIT]Nevermind found it, Quioxti, got to your account at the top of the screen, then scroll down to Pathfinder Society, click "click here to make changes" link, then edit the character.[/EDIT]

Wonderful first round! Very heroic!

By the way... I need the chronicle sheets of your PCs. You can send it at ravenath at gmail dot com.

Being new to the PFS, where can I get a chronicle sheet? I've looked around the site, but not sure where I get one from.

Also, is it form-fillable? I only have .pdf readers (Foxit and Adobe). Otherwise I'd have to send a .doc file.

Liberty's Edge

I'll explain. A chronicle sheet is a paper given by your GM after each scenario. Each scenario has its own chronicle sheet. So, as your character plays scenarios, you will be accumulating character sheets. That means that, if you haven't played with this PC before, you don't have any chronicle sheet. I'll give you a chronicle sheet at the end of this scenario. That will be the first chronicle sheet of your PC.

Ei, guys, we are running the game without combat maps, but I can do it with map. What do you prefer? Let's begin the voting!

Note: wonderful fight.

Grand Lodge

Male Dwarf Barbarian 9/Rogue 4

I'll get my sheets to you this weekend.
I'd prefer maps but I tend to post at work and most sites I've seen used for maps are blocked so either way is fine with me.

I think you mean, he'll be accumulating chronical sheets, not character sheets :)

That didn't go so badly without maps, and as I said, it's kind of refreshing. I vote to stay without the maps, with the assumption they can be incorporated down the road if we find things really would work better with them.

Also, that faction icon trick only seems to work when posting with my primary avatar. I'll keep poking around. Good game so far!

Liberty's Edge

This is the first time with a PFS character, and this is my first scenario, so I don't have a chronicle sheet yet.

as for the battle maps, I'm thinking the same as Quioxti, unless the combat is going to require certain tactics, IE terrain problems, dungeon crawl or the like, I vote no on proposition Combat Map, with the hope that it will be introduced when needed.

Liberty's Edge

Ok. So, no battle maps for now. Let's take some considerations:
1- if a character is engaged in melee with 2 or more rivals, he is flanked.
2- if a character isn't engaged in melee, he can be target of spells like fireball.

Do you agree?

This is Evan "Gregor" testing something.

Sounds like fair assumptions to me, so long as they work both ways.

As for my chronicle sheets, I don't have electronic copies. I'll have to scan them into my computer first. Unfortunately, I won't have access to a scanner until I return to work on Wednesday.

Thanks for explaining, Rav! Now I get it. I forgot that we have 2 2nd level characters with us.

As for maps, I prefer them, but good descriptions can be just a useful. If we have ideas of general distances and positions of foes, that'll do nicely.

Liberty's Edge

You know what? We will use maps finally. I'll make it and post it in images.

Liberty's Edge

Sorry about not posting more often, DM, real life is getting in the way of my gaming habits.

will post within the next 24 hours.

Okay, as said in the IC thread, not sure if party rewards are anything like normal pathfinder, but are we able to have anything the enemies drop, as in loot, if not, am I able to keep the chains for this scenario, chains do come in handy sometimes.

Liberty's Edge

No, Pathfinder Society manages the rewards in a simpler way. When you end an encounter, the encounter has a reward in gold pieces. That reward is the result of selling the stuff your characters encounter in this zone. But the selling process isn't roleplayed. It simply "happens". What counts in the treasure that you find is the magical objects and important objects. For example, the chain is useless to old in the inventory, because it hasn't any monetary value in pathfinder society, but a potion of healing will be held in the inventory, and can be used in the course of the game.

Liberty's Edge

No worries, thank you for clearing it up! ^_^

Sovereign Court

Sorry about my response...I read the IC post half-asleep, and must've skimmed over the last part...note to self: post only when awake...

Still working on Chronicle sheets hopefuly have them done today

Liberty's Edge

No problem, Torillan.

Liberty's Edge

This scenario is going perfect. Fast play, diary posts, good phrases. Congratulations, everyone.

Chronicle sheets sent.

Chronicle sheets sent.

As my first PbP, this has been great. It definately makes me want to start searching out others to play in.

Liberty's Edge

Good. Chronicle sheets received. Ei! Gregor is almost lvl 3! You will level up with this adventure. Great.

Quiotxi: yes, I love PBP because you have more time to think what will your character do or say. Sometimes, in a real table, we play our characters with our own way of acting, thinking and speaking. This way, we can develop the character's way of do such things.

I'm really enjoying RPing "Butters" something I didn't get to much when I first started playing him since I was new to Pathfinder. Yeah I brought Gregor to my first real life PFS game wich happended to be a three day con so he got a lot of play but since then (October) I haven't had a chance to play much.

Brett, Hold off looking for one right now I'm contimplating running a pbp soon.

Invites will go first to people who have Gm'ed for me frist and if there is still room then I'll open the invite to people I've played with.

Ravenath, would you be interested?

Sounds good...I'll keep my fingers crossed!

Nice soundtrack for the current combat, btw. Does the band have any other albums available?

Liberty's Edge

This seems to be their only album in jamendo.
Quiotxi: I need to know if your weapon deal piercing damage of slashing damage.

The Aldori Dueling Sword is very similar to a standard long sword. Damage dealt is considered slashing.

Liberty's Edge

Quiotxi: ok.

People, I'm a veteran in PBP. I am running 6 games and playing about 7. And I have to say this is the fastest game of all. A round of combat per day is an incredible rate. And it's possible thanks to you, guys. Thanks for the daily posting.

It is going quite well. Congrats to all! I've been in some PbP that seem to fall apart after a bit (I've slacked some here and there, too!)

But this is a good group, and I'd like to see if maybe a campaign can keep going with them!

Ravenath, Quioxti & Torillan
I started the discussion thread for the pbp I'll be running.
G.M.E.W.'s pbp

Please post you charestes as soon as possible so I know what the party will look like. This will be tier 1-2 and remember any characters playing in this pbp can not play anywere else until this senario is finished.

Liberty's Edge

Already done. Damian has no previous games. So he's a brand new old decrepit human necromancer level 1 with 79 years old.

Liberty's Edge

Guys, I have been overwhelmed by my job. I have been too busy even to see my wife much time. Sorry for that. This week I'm becoming a normal guy again. I'll post again tonight.
