Topic: Pathfinder Scenario Series

[Melendrith]

Callie

I'm good with Additional Resources and Campaign clarifications. The scenarios are reasonably challenging I suppose, and will probably not be a cakewalk, poor rolls and metagaming aside.

I'm all right with using Pathfinder Society Field Guide materials. The reason why I'm not starting the players out with factions is because I may do an altered / extended First Steps to introduce them to some of the factions within the Pathfinder Society so the players can RP joining them. That said, for those already familiar with PFS rules, you can start as a member of one of the factions, that's fine.

[Callie Del Noire]

Just curious... some folks RP the factions in a fun way and others don't

For example I haven't played my GS5/Alchemist 6 for 3 years in hopes of killing her old faction leader..she has a MW Adamantine Railgun round JUSt for him..:)

No big either way

[Melendrith]

I probably wouldn't do faction missions in a fun way, and in fact quite a few of them are rather unfun. Many of the earlier factions are no longer around nor available, anyway.

That said, I do intend for there to be some characterisation and extra NPCs and factions in First Steps. While I may not take faction missions very seriously in a normal game, I think at the very least players should have some idea who they might be working for and what is important to them, before joining and getting the benefits of joining.

Personally, all 16 of my registered IDs (of which only about 8 are characters) are from the Exchange faction. Lol.

Edit: as an aside, there are Scenarios where one or two particular faction missions are exceptionally relevant or resonate well. It would be well to make it available to all players, not just those who belong to that faction, even if the benefits mainly accrue with those from that faction.

I have a char that'd be a tiefling but I don't have a chronicle sheet for the race, bummer.

I have 2 trade princesses and a trade prince among my 30 odd pcs..I'm actually looking forward to seeing how they do faction rep inStarfinder Organized play, they are going with a more modular/scenario approach with it

[Snake]

*curses* I lost my premade ranger T_T then again it was like a half elf with a cha of 7 due to minmaxing.

[Hunter]

I always forget something.   I forgot my favored class bonus (which would be a rank in profession).    Please let me know what/if any changes need to be made.

[Melendrith]

Hunter - just add it to the skill or to your HP, edit the charsheet directly

[Callie Del Noire]

Half Elves have the really fun things with favored class.. @ 5th level you get multitalented and fast learner.. HP and SP every level.. for ANY class

[Melendrith]

Btw Kathyan, under Familiar

"A witch must commune with her familiar each day to prepare her spells. Familiars store all of the spells that a witch knows, and a witch cannot prepare a spell that is not stored by her familiar. A witch’s familiar begins play storing all of the 0-level witch spells plus three 1st-level spells of the witch’s choice. The witch also selects a number of additional 1st-level spells equal to her Intelligence modifier to store in her familiar. At each new witch level, she adds two new spells of any spell level or levels that she can cast (based on her new witch level) to her familiar. A witch can also add additional spells to her familiar through a special ritual (see sidebar). "
So you may wish to list spells learnt and spells memorised. Your L1 spells known should be 8 (3+5Int) unless Hedge Witch modifies it somehow.

For spells memorised, do kiv that Int20 (as opposed to Int18) grants two bonus L1 spell slots.

Separately, note that i have revised FAQ 3 from No to Yes. I dont like looking up Additional Resources though.

[Melendrith]

Hunter - just a gentle note. Calistria's favored weapon is whip, not scorpion whip.

[Snake]

Under what it says about the Scorpion Whip; it gives the proficiency with it; since it does say that "If you are proficient with a whip, you are proficient with the Scorpion whip"

[Melendrith]

Perhaps it was errataed, but I dont see that

http://www.d20pfsrd.com/equipment/weapons/weapon-descriptions/whip-scorpion/

I have a PFS Calistrian Mysterious Avenger Vigilante who would really like a free scorpion whip prof lol.

In any case, if having whip prof means scorpion whip prof, at least one line will be redundant in the scorpion whip desc

Think it's separated in the campaign clarificaciotn.. or the errata

[Melendrith]

Cool thanks Hunter :) carry on then. Since used as a whip, does that mean 1d3 nonlethal, essentially a whip profile on a scorpion whip weapon?

( which considering I am torn about whether to enchant a +1 Agile Whip that i can use now compared to waiting for a +1 Agile Scorpion Whip i can use later, would be extremely helpful! )

[Hunter]

Non-lethal?   Who uses non-lethal meow?

[Melendrith]

From your given link
http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/ultimateEquipment/armsAndArmor/weapons.html#scorpion-whip
"If you are proficient with whips, you can use a scorpion whip as a whip."

http://archivesofnethys.com/EquipmentWeaponsDisplay.aspx?ItemName=Whip
"As a whip" and whip deals nonlethal damage?
Personally i use it for tripping :) maybe with Agile can consider for damage

Postponement until Monday.  RL stuff.  For those that want to know.  Car insurance quotes

[Kathyan]

By the way it is not clear to me at what level the hedge gains spontaneous healing, it replaces the level 4 hex but it doesn't specify this ability is gained at level 4, it doesn't say at level 1 either but it seems to me there other archetypes that give new abilities at different level than those they replace so I rather ask.

If it doesn't specify, then you get the ability whenever you choose the archetype (which in the case of the hedge witch can be any level between 1 and 4)
