Hello everyone!

Here is some good PbP advice I suggest you read.

First of all, welcome to the game!

Second of all, please post your PFS number and Day Job roll. Also please make sure your initiative and perception are easy for me to find; the easiest is to put them in the banner below your name by including them in the "classes/level" section of your profile or you can just post them here.

We'll get started as soon as the GameDay begins!


The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge

A note: I will be leaving the country on December 24 for three weeks. I will still be able to post while I'm traveling but obviously not as frequently. I am therefore hoping that this will be a fast-paced game that will hopefully finish up before I leave in December.

No day job.

Can't wait to play this guy.

@Dalton: A lot of tetoris like to pick up the Jawbreaker/Bonebreaker/etc feats eventually as well. Something to look into. But the feats you have now are pretty standard. Just remember that it's a swift to enter Snapping Turtle Style and a swift to use Stunning Pin. Also, the Snapping Turtle grapple attempt is an immediate (which counts as the swift of your next turn essentially). So Tetoris really have to keep in mind what they're doing with their swift each round. (Mine is even worse because he's got levels of paladin so he can smite and lay on hands as a swift as well.)

I hadn't looked into those feats. Since we have time until we start, I may put some ranks into heal because those seem like cool feats.

Hi everyone

My character could do a lot of things: diplomacy, opening locks or disabling traps (if someone could say where to look), fighting, healing and blasting things with fireball.

Just when she's stressed she talk and understand only the words of angels.

Happy to play with you all :)

Hi friends! This is Megferra the Rose, although she usually just goes by Meg! She's a Paladin of Shelyn who is just as at home mingling at fancy parties as she is smiting evil.

Good to see another Dervish Dancer, Kaâb Al-Burda. ;D

@ EF: I just picked up the Amateur Swashbuckler feat and got the Opportune Parry & Riposte deed, so just a heads up that I might use my AoO to parry incoming attacks. It might be a bit tricky in PbP, since the text of the deed includes: "The swashbuckler must declare the use of this ability after the creature's attack is announced, but before its attack roll is made." I'll just try to give you a heads up or a preemptive parry roll if I expect that I'll want to try it. I'm also trying to figure out if my Fencer trait applies...

To keep closer with my character concept, I actually have given Dalton a Day Job by moving a couple of ranks into Profession: Bouncer.

"Be nice, until it's time not to be nice."

Day Job: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29


The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge

@Megferra: How I usually prefer to handle those things is for the player to declare it ahead of time with a condition since you can't really use it after I've already rolled the attack and damage.

So it would go something like this:

Quote:

Megferra attacks!

(roll attacks and damage)

If the monster attacks me back, I will attempt to parry their first attack:

(roll attacks and damage, spoilered if you wish)

If the condition doesn't come up (the monster doesn't attack you), we just ignore it and pretend you never rolled it and it doesn't count as having used the ability.

EndlessForms - I was just going through my PFS paperwork and found a forgotten document - the Oread boon I earned as GM from the last gameday.

Is it too late to apply it to Dalton? He hasn't been played at all - just put together from different credits.


The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge

If he hasn't been played at all, then that should be fine. Just put it as the first chronicle in the stack for that character (I usually label race boons "chronicle #0"). Oreads make great monks, after all.

So, trying to make sure I've got things accurate for Dalton regarding his CMD. Here's what I have calculated. Did I get it right?

10 + 6 + 4 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 31

I don't think your Maneuver Training applies to CMD, so shouldn't you be counting your BAB as +4?

APL = 6.57 rounded to 7, which is between tiers.

Guide, p 32 wrote:
Starting with Season 4, scenarios are designed for six characters and contain instructions on how to adjust the scenario for four-character parties. When the APL of a table is between two subtiers (like APL 3 for a Tier 1–5 scenario), a party of four characters must play the lower tier without any adjustments for party size. A party of five to seven characters whose APL is between two subtiers must play the higher tier with the four-character adjustment.

So it looks like we're playing the high tier with four-player adjustments. Hope that's ok with everyone! With seven players that's probably better than playing low tier anyways.

This is crazy - I'm glad I remembered to apply that Oread boon. Seriously - the chances don't seem great that we would have an Ifrit and an Oread playing in a scenario that features both prominently.

This is exciting.

Since the palace-guarding elemental suggested that one half of our party go to the Fifth Facet tavern, and the other half got a quest lead for the tavern from Eurdan Stonemantle, do we all just want to convene there? Perhaps conveniently all arriving at the same time? :)

New day means new spells for me!

@ Kaâb: I see that your Flame Mystery gives you Resist Energy as a bonus spell. Do you think you would use that on other members of the party? I feel like we're going to run into some fire damage, but if you want to save your spell slots, I can prepare it as my 2nd level spell. What do you think? Otherwise I think I might go for Litany of Righteousness.

Okay, I'm confused what nice consumables we've gotten so far, so I decided to list everything so we know what we can use during our palace assault.

Potion of remove curse x1
Potion of cure serious wounds x1
Endure elements x6 Used up
Oil of taggit x2 I don't know what we would use these for, or who would use them: they're ingested knock-out poison
Potion of resist fire x1
Potions of cure moderate wounds x4
Potion of fire shield (CL 7th; chill shield) x1 <-- We may want to save this one for our fight with Cinderfury, as it only lasts 7 rounds

We could expend our one resist fire potion to save Kaâb a spell slot.

Oh, and a quick question about the Amateur Swashbuckler feat.

It says I gain 1 panache every day, but I ended the last day with 2. Am I at 3 now? Or do I just maintain the 2? Or reset back down to 1?


The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge

I think it resets each day just like most pool abilities.
