FYI I have a character rule I want to confirm with you Glyn before it comes up in game.

Teneb wields Nethys' favoured weapon the staff which is d4 with the d8 two hand trait. With the Champion ability deific weapon if you qualify the damage die increases by one step.

When wielding in one hand that is d4 -> d6, but what I want to confirm with you is two handing.

The Two hand trait says: This weapon can be wielded with two hands. Doing so changes its weapon damage die to the indicated value. This change applies to all the weapon’s damage dice, such as those from striking runes.

Based on this, when two handing, the staff has a damage die of d8 -> d10 with deific weapon.

I'd like to confirm you agree with my interpretation of the rules.

AoN links for relevant rules if you want to review:

Finishing up a Scenario this week with this character. I'm probably going to make some free retraining changes while he's still level 1. At least changing alignment/cause, but also considering a class change.

Congratulations on first PbP, be aware it is a much more slow process than a face to face game. Look under my GM Glyn profile for information and links to helpfull information about PBP games.

Yes, I will need the character sheet information in the profile or link to the character sheet.

I'm fine with adding the animal companion under the druid's profile. Some people like to post their Animal companion or familiar from a sperate alias profile. Your welcome to do it, either way, I normally post animal companion and character under the same post and Alias.

I posted the mission briefing in the game thread, Please add an introduction and description of your character to your beginning post (I should have had started everyone off with introductions last week.)

There are several lots of points during this adventure where you will be asked to make skill checks to achieve exploration goals. Multiple PCs may attempt the same check or PCs may aid an ally's check {link} as described on page 470 of the Pathfinder Core Rulebook.

Players may wish to use different skills for certain activities if it is a plausible substitute it may be allowed with a slight increase to the DC.

if/when combat starts in an encounter I'll roll for the foes and give you an average initiative for the foes. If your character rolls an initiative greater than that value you get to take your actions before they go. (For large groups of foes this may be broken into more intuitive groups.)

Glyn I added a personal (non-game changing) stealth DC in the gameplay. Let me know if you don't want that sort of thing in your PFS game.

Hopefully I'm sticking to the straight and narrow :)

I don’t mind if you list the DCs of things that are likely to come up, but I do have the PCs skills and stats handy. Please do note if they have changed from what is listed on the character sheet for some reason. Also I appreciate it when players put links in to spells or feats used especially if I’m going to need to look them up anyway.

Yep all good. I expect that for PFS game changing stuff it'll be handled on your side.

This was a bit of flavour to my character which others could RP that they heard or didn't hear based on how subtle Teneb is.

Thanks for putting this together, I'm having a blast already.

I've been going over the young noble's encounter with an eye to awarding hero points. Everyone did well, so I'm going to award everyone a hero point.

So as of now, everyone has 2 hero points total each.

Under reactions in encounters it says

Quote:
Your reactions let you respond immediately to what’s happening around you. The GM determines whether you can use reactions before your first turn begins, depending on the situation in which the encounter happens.

Do I have a reaction on turn 1? If so I will use glimpse of redemption on one of the raven swarms.

I'll respond as if I do, and you can just say it doesn't do anything if you rule I don't have one.

I don't see any special case about the encounter to grant reactions before the normal rule. "... Once your first turn begins, you gain your actions and reaction ..."

I'm very sorry to hear that, Conso. Very rough to lose a companion like that.

Regarding the in-game events: I noticed that Raznik already left the area where Teneb's spell would hit. I did likewise. If you're delay your turn, the area will probably be clear to strike at the swarms without hitting any of us.

Since we've got the PFS blogs about access, I've made a post on the PFS forum that I'd like some FAQ votes on.

It goes over all the Lost Omens archetypes and ancestries, whether they're PFS legal, and how you qualify for them in PFS. There are some grey areas, like whether you have to pass the hellknight test somehow in PFS.

I'd appreciate you having a look, and hitting the FAQ button if you want to see it answered!

Not to be a rules lawyer, but the grab ability takes an action to use. It's kind of important because the suffocation rules are very brutal and it is very likely I can die inside the belly of the beast.

Taking it to the discussion thread for a bit. I'm confident that we'll get Mirtha out, but I think she's right about the action economy. Grab and Swallow Whole cost an action each, and can only happen after a successful attack. I don't think a monster should be able to move, attack, grab and swallow whole in one turn (unless the Warg has specific rules in that aspect).

Some monsters have grab or another effect as part of their attack action. I believe this is the case with the warg. On a successful attack, it does damage and grabs. So, it would be, 1. move, 2. attack w/ grab as a result of successful attack, 3. swallow.

Even if they have grab they have to spend a separate action to grab. All it means is that when they hit they can spend the action to grab without having to make the Athletics check. Grabbing for free requires the improved grab ability.

Source Bestiary pg. 343 wrote:

Improved Grab - Free Action

The monster can use Grab as a free action triggered by a hit with its initial attack. A monster with Improved Grab still needs to spend an action to extend the duration for creatures it already has grabbed.

OK,
I misunderstood the monster grab, It does indeed require improved grab to strike and grab with one action.

I’ll remediate the error.
