Waiting for the last two players to get a sense on how often people will post in this game. Yes, this is where I gauge how fast we can get through the module. :)

Just fleshing out the character profile tonight.

GM PDK |

We have liftoff! head over the Gameplay thread; you may begin with character intro and roleplay.
Rule Number One: Have fun!

Umberto Ricci, a barrel-chested man with dirty blonde hair, comes to sit at the table. The mace and tankard looped to his belt clink a bit as he moves to sit. The stubble and bags under his eyes give the impression of a long night or at least restless sleep. He reads over the letter and passes it around the assembled group. A talking tree then, Venture-Captain. Are we tasked with documenting the stories of battle or is there anything else we should see to?
Umberto, I love your build. Dirty fighting, creating alcohol! Something I would see in a dwarven brawler! Such a unique take on a Warpriest.

GM PDK |

Umberto you seem to have one too many feat for level 1. Human, 1st, and Weapon Focus should make for 3 total feats, not 4. Please let me know if I'm missing something.

I give up a minor Blessing for the Divine Fighting Technique.
A cleric, inquisitor, or warpriest who worships a deity can always choose to give up either the first power of one of her domains or a minor blessing benefit to gain access to that god’s divine fighting technique without having to meet the Divine Fighting Techniques technique’s prerequisites (including the Divine Fighting Technique feat).
So I've given up Agile Feet to keep Strength Surge and get the Divine Fighting Technique for free.

GM PDK |

Got it. Are you planning to go rapier in main hand and tankard in off-hand? (rapier is also considered sacred weapon; you'd lose +1 to hit due to not having Weapon Focus on it yet, but you'd have 18-20 threat range; same base 1d6 damage as the mug)

![]() |

light mace in main hand and tankard in the off. tankard is treated as a light mace. I've selected "light mace" as my sacred weapon, as I am allowed to choose a weapon that is not necessarily my deity's favored.

GM PDK |

Understood. Just wanted to make sure you're aware that both rapier and tankard are now considered 'sacred weapon' and that rapier had a more delectable threat range... :) (and you'd also fall into having both piercing and bludgeoning things at the ready, but that's not really a huge factor...)

GM PDK |

No problem. As always you can experiment with builds until you accrue 3xp and move to level 2, so feel free to try different things during this scenario.

kinda like stealth
I thought Umberto intended to yell as he entered the room.
Ren has darkvision, and it looks like Kim made light as she inspected the tracks.

![]() |

I should clarify, were you intending to yell and intimidate as you went through the double doors with the snickering behind them? (As opposed to yelling when we came down the stairs.)

GM PDK |

excellent! missed that! although you might have wished the scorpion proceeded to ignore you as I described...

![]() |

Yep, getting hit now will kill Ren. Is it a knowledge check to know what it has for reach?
Edit: I'll just wait to see if it took a swing at Kim for casting.

![]() |

@GM, I think we have wires crossed. What I'm trying to say is that Kim cast a spell within its reach, and it never took a swing. That is why I'm assuming it doesn't have reach (and can Withdraw safely.

![]() |

it's too dumb to know it's a spell
I appreciate the generosity and really appreciate you putting the brakes on the action there. But knowing anything about spells is not a prerequisite to taking an attack of opportunity on someone casting a spell.
Spells provoke not because they are spells, but because they are a 'distracting act'.
Performing a Distracting Act: Some actions, when performed in a threatened square, provoke attacks of opportunity as you divert your attention from the battle. Table: Actions in Combat notes many of the actions that provoke attacks of opportunity.
I don't suggest changing anything in this game/combat, but it may come up in the future. I don't want your characters or other characters here getting AoO'd in other PFS games because of a rules misunderstanding. :)

GM PDK |

Don't worry. Taking an AoO or not is always the creature's prerogative, so if you feel better with me saying that the scorpion is a master at tactics, then that's why he didn't AoO Kim.

Yuukyou, where is your +2CL from. This is my first blaster caster so I'm definitely interested in figuring out how to get caster level boosts.

GM PDK |

It's legal - he's using a Harrow Deck as focus which gives +2 CL with divination spells. It was originally meant for divination spells i.e. detecting stuff but they did not predict the psychic would come out with an offensive divination spell, hence Yuukyou's cheese exploit. I wouldn't build an entire build on that exploit if I were anyone as who knows, it might get errated or something or PFS campaign nerfed... :P
But, for low levels, it is extremely powerful. The PFS campaign staff and online VC are fine with it, btw.

It's not quite as munchkin of me as as it sounds, cause actually Yuukyou's goal is to become a Harrower since I got a actual harrow deck for my birthday last year. I'm absolutely enamored with everything about the prestige class. I'm also gonna take Harrow Summoning so I can SUMMON MONSTER CARDO! The Mind thrust exploit was a happy, and hilarious coincidence considering that the guy I'm flavoring Yuukyou after has a habit of "Mind Crushing" opponents when they lose or cheat.... >.>
Bonus weeb points to anyone who gets the reference.
But yeah, considering, as far as I know, Mind thrust is the only damaging divination spell and it only works on mind effecting, getting some bonus to caster level on it is powerful, but not as bad as it sounds.

![]() |

My psychic uses his phrenic pool to boost the damage on magic missile to a d6 + 1 and has the trait that lets him cast 1 spell at +1 caster level so at 2nd he's going to do 2d6+2 points of damage that don't miss and don't allow a save and since he has the dark half, too will caused a point of bleed.

![]() |

It probably is, I just am touchy about being called out on being "Cheesy" or "Munchkiny" cause it's so often used to be dismissive.
I come up with cool character ideas, and then I decide what they do, then I research what they need to be good at it. For some reason for certain people (No one here at least) that means I'm a terrible role player.

GM PDK |

Cheese is good in general. Aged cheddar is well thought-out cheese! :) it's kind of a compliment... legal cheese is legal! :)
