PFS2 5-15 Cleansing the Flame

[Talon Stormwarden]

I don’t see any adjustment to the chase skill DCs for subtier. Am I missing it?

Also, part of the chase from 3-13 is copy/pasted into this scenario: “Each round, the PCs face a fresh challenge unique to one area of the Incandescent Terrace.” Absolutely terrible editing.

[Pirate Rob]

There's doesn't appear to be any DC changes between tiers for the chase.

Ugh, not only does 3-13 use incorrect text for explaining how a chase should work... that same incorrect text got copy/pasted into a different scenario.

That's a real :(

[logsig]

I dealt with the chase rules issue in 5-13 (not 3-13) by assuming that the discrepancy in chase rules in these scenarios is intentional, and announcing to the players that this is a chase-flavored skill challenge with different rules than an actual chase.

[Pirate Rob]

Err 5-13 and ya, that one has to be run that way, although then the scaling doesn't make any sense but is also addressed by the success.

It's clearly incorrect here for several reasons.

[Vokialus]

I would like to clarify - what to do with the absence of the A4 encounter map? Without it, increasing the threat zone does not make the slightest sense (as well as the fact that players can simply run out of there and calmly neutralize the circle, because deodons (according to the description) are not able to get out of it. How did you solve this problem?

[Pirate Rob]

I like running things like that without a map anyway.

Spend an action to stride in or out of the circle. Need to be in it to disable. (Expect for Dispel Magic, a nice advantage to using a resource)

If you found it helpful to have a map instead it'd be easy enough to draw a circle on a map and track exact positioning.

Also A4 seems to be missing scaling information?

[Rakshara of the Flame]

Uirch has Flame Strike prepared as a 4th level spell in both low and high tier. Flame Strike's base level is 5.

Would you prepare another spell 2x at 4th?
