GM Shifty PFS PbP Discussion

[Shifty]

The MoFF groups are moving to the closing stages, Risen will begin once they complete. A week or less?

[Steven_Evil]

Well, I went ahead and applied some GM credit to Kel, so he's only 1 xp away from level 3 now. Should be fine for Risen and the Destiny, I think. Can't wait until he hits 6, because that's when the ninja level's start!

I am trying to create something similar to the Nightingales from Skyrim, if anyone is wondering why I'm crossclassing an inspired blade swashbuckler and ninja.

[The Ambitious]

I like the sound of that...... Hmmmmmm.....

Feel free to yank the idea. I'm not stingy.

[Zarongel's Poog!]

Poogz 'player' is doing long-leg things out of tribe-area. He be back in less than six suns, and sayz Zarongel will guide. Pretty smart for long-legz. We eat him last.

Going out of town and won't have Internet access from Friday-Sunday, push Poog around as necessary, he's pretty easy to figure out. Hopefully don't waste big charges on mobs unless it's absolutely necessary.

[Fingalad Eldahir]

Int check to write report to Grand Lodge: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Poog seez lots of longlegz fail to write a report to the Grand Lodge. Poog knowz that that writing is bad because it makes all the smarts go out of you!

I've yet to see someone succeed on that roll. *sympathy*

[Karlan Bladetwist]

Book 3 can be renamed: Karlan's really bad awful stinking stupidly dark and terrible horrible month long day.

Wow, I've yet to see it fail :p

Clearly some people have harsh assessors. :(

[Fingalad Eldahir]

I've tried a good 3 or 4 times with various GL characters and haven't succeeded yet.

[Shifty]

Anyone have any rerolls to share? My tabletop groups keep a few ready for those key rolls - we also have the only known official re-roll Goblin in existence

[Eponine Lokrien Savet]

I own exactly 4 of the character folios. I am not at that table, and I am not sure that works online. But I have them if they can be used.

[Michael_Hopkins]

I have a tee shirt reroll if need be to share. It's so Orange...... I plan on wearing them during the minicon in my area this weekend.

[GM Shifty]

@Charlie - Chronicle sheets being prepared now as you guys have completed the module.

@Delta - Preparing yours too, as you are pretty much over bar the shouting. Up to you to clear any last things on your radar, or just walk back to the Grand Lodge for tea and medals.

[Fingalad Eldahir]

Thanks for running it, Shifty!

[Michael_Hopkins]

It's a fun one. Woo, two level two characters!

As for the Delta table, it's up to everyone else, but Elris would love to finish things after talking with the bard.

[Shifty]

Risen 'Extended play' group - we will begin in 24 hours.

Standalone currently needing more players, will be advertising the game, eta two days?

[Enora the Arcanist]

Before we start:

Witch or Arcanist? I have to settle within 24 hours.

[Shifty]

/is neutral :p

[TarkXT]

Holy walls of text batman!

Mido at the ready...

[Clair Vavassour]

Clair's also ready for group delta to open up.

[Valjoen]

Valjoen will be ready by tomorrow for group Delta. He's getting 3rd chronicle tonight from a tabletop GM credit. I'll get rebuild done in the morning and be set to go at 2nd level.

[Shifty]

No worries guys, I'll get the first post up soon and then you can filter in. Without being all meta, think ahead for your shopping - you are off to a desert, to look at all tombs etc, pack accordingly :p

Delta is now open for posting

[Stelikara]

Howdy!

Stelikara checking in

[Eleanor Savet]

Purchases:

Cracked Dusty Rose Prism Ioun Stone: 500 Gold:

Cracked: This stone grants a +1 competence bonus on initiative checks. Price: 500 gp.

Scroll of Endure Elements: 25 Gold:

Scribed into spell book by taking 10 = 18 Spellcraft. DC to scribe to spell book = DC 15+Spell Level = 16

Wayfinder: 250 Gold; 2PP:

250 gold
2 PP Inherited (Keeps ability to cast Light in addition to Guidance) The Confirmation First Chronicle bonus allows purchase of Wayfinder Vanities at -1 PP cost, normally Inherited costs 3 PP.

Wand of Infernal Healing: 2PP

Total Spent: 775 Gold; 4 PP

Money Remaining: 1194 Gold, 9 Silver remaining

PP Remaining: 3

Fame: 7

[Vespine]

Perhaps it should be pointed out that one may only spend PP once per scenario. Annoying, I know.

[Eleanor Savet]

My understanding was you could only use the "2 PP for an item that costs 750g or less" once, not you could only spend PP once, period. In the purchases above, I can spend PP to get a special Wayfinder when I purchase one for gold per the Chronicle.

I am not using the 2PP for an item 750g or less twice.

Please see Footnote 3 under Table 5-4:
"3 Once per session, you can acquire any single item of this cost or less from your faction by spending the appropriate number of Prestige Points. Items purchased this way are worth 0 gp and cannot be sold."

I am NOT using this twice, as noted above.

I am using this once and:

The Confirmation - Pathfinder Society Scenario #5-08

Confirmed Field Agent: Having successfully completed and documented your Confirmation one of the Three Masters has formally recognized you as a field agent and given you a wayfinder engraved with your name and the date of your graduation. If this is the first time you have received this boon for any of your characters, you receive this wayfinder for free; otherwise, you may acquire it by spending 1 Presitige Point. Furthermore, if you assign this Chronicle she to a character whose starting XP is 0, you reduce the Prestige Point cost of any wayfinder enchantment vanities you purchase to modify your wayfinder by 1 (minimum 1).

Two completely different deals. This Chronicle Sheet purchase is not a purchase that is covered by Table 5-4 Footnote 3.

[Vespine]

I gotcha now. My mistake.

[Shifty]

Sweet :)

Looks like all tables are up and running.

[Luke_Parry]

Eh. I suppose that I can be tempted ;-)

Reporting in for Delta Company!

[Shifty]

Hah, nice :)

Glad to see you got tempted - jump in when ready matey!

[Agraic Shieldarm]

That map is really small in Charlie and it won't zoom?

[Master Mido]

Couldn't read the map either but I found one online :)

So as we will be adventuring together for longer than a normal scenario what is everyone's party role? Mido is mainly a Rogue with a fairly wide aray of skills and some knowledges. He doesn't deal a terible lot of damage but has a very nice trick up his sleeve with bewildering Koan which ideally can keep one enemy out of a fight.

[Clair Vavassour]

Clair's a negative cleric who focuses on two-handed melee with a scythe. She can increase her damage output versus living enemies by adding a channel to her attack, with Channel Smite. The Command Undead feat allows her to make undead into her servants, and I hope that'll come in handy while inside a pyramid.

[Valjoen]

Valjoen is a warpriest but is currently working on a 3 level dip into Unchained rogue (knife master) for the weapon finesse and 2d8 precision damage before going back to warpriest levels. He fights with two kukri and puts out okay damage now. He's in a few awkard levels and won't really start to catch up with the pure melee characters till level 5. He has good sneaky skills, but his Int or Cha skills are non-existent.

[Bree Longfield]

So what are all the buffs on us now and do they all stack?

[Shifty]

New map linked up in the Campaign threads, probably nicer than the postage stamp the VC was apparently reading off.

[Agraic Shieldarm]

Hooray for new map!

New-hoo-hoo-map

It won't do a bit of good to see old map

It's so simple,

So very simple,

That only a GM can do it!

--with apologies to Tom Lehrer...

New Math

[Stelikara]

Stelikara is a whip fighter. At this level mostly just good for trips and disarms at distance. She shouldn't have any trouble hitting things, but her damage is currently pathetic.

She's got decent skills for a fighter, including the ability to face, but those are probably already covered elsewhere.

Ailetha's Inspire Courage +2 Morale bonus on attack/damage/some will saves

and Ailetha's alien song +2 morale bonus on all attack rolls and skill checks for 24 hours

Morale bonuses do not stack but we're pretty covered with those

[Ailetha Aurcalam]

You also have +1 attack/AC/Reflex from Haste (if Ailetha got it off)

Also, check Blessing of Fervor as it has other bonuses if you select them. Many don't stack with Haste, but being able to stand up without drawing and AoO and stuff like that are nice.

Ailetha's inspire courage is actually a competence bonus. Not morale.

[Bree Longfield]

Thanks guys, just trying to figure out what total numbers to keep in mind for the fight. Do competence bonuses stack with morale bonuses?

I always forget that. Never understood why the Will save is Morale, while the attack/damage is competence. But, I will take it. Everyone gets a nice +5 on attacks (+2 competence, +2 morale, +1 haste (speed?)), not a bad start, lets just hope we have something to fight.

[TarkXT]

Comp had a serious accident. Stuck on phone for now.

[Master Mido]

So this discussion thread covers multiple games? That sorta sucks...

[Shifty]

General chit chat and whatever lives here, in game lives in game :)

Much easier to also alert players of other gaming opportunities and promulgate announcements. If you have a better suggestion for how to communicate to several groups at once then I am all ears.

Running several tables simultaneously it is the easiest way (for me) to track what is going on rather than having to monitor multiple threads (would be five at present).

[Twilightrose]

I rather like the one ooc for several games, I think it's tidier and have been thinking about doing the same for my campaigns. Especially since I'm thinking about adding a Reign of Winter campaign soon.
