saithor Posted October 24, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted October 24, 2023 1 hour ago, Ensou said: Good afternoon GM. I have a few questions as a newbie to Pathfinder system: 1. Is this adventure a good module for players who never played Pathfinder before? Campaigns that offer more adventuring and investigation challenges and less combat I notice are easier for me to get into the system, being on the assumption that combat is a core pillar with understandably the most complex mechanics. 2. I notice this is listed as 2nd edition, do I need to go look up 1st edition as well to catch up with the meta/knowledge/experience needed to play 2nd edition? I heard many good things about this system so I thought starting as level 1 will be a nice way to experience a new play. While a good chunk of this campaign is built around exploration and kingdom building, but there is still a fair amount of combat in it as well. And you do not need to be familiar with 1st edition Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can further rely on your patience, may I then open a character application thread and converse with you on what to do with it inside that thread? 2e seems to suggest it is easier to build a character around a concept, since its system was meant to do that.

Lonewalker Posted October 25, 2023 Clone Share Posted October 25, 2023 I'm hoping to have time to put together a character for this. I've never played Pathfinder, but I've always wanted to play in the Kingmaker adventure path. I at least do have the Core Rules and Advanced Players Guide for Pathfinder 2e in PDF. I also recently discovered Pathbuilder, which is pretty handy and helpful. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkason Posted October 25, 2023 Clone Share Posted October 25, 2023 I'm just coming back to rpgs after several years away, having to learn PF2 when I only half-remember PF1, and Pathbuilder was super helpful for mucking around with stuff. I've yet to get into a game, but it was so helpful I went ahead and dropped the $6 or whatever it is to open up the alt ruleset elements, which made it even easier to play around without feeling lost (and only half as overwhelmed with options :) ) Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phntm888 Posted October 25, 2023 Clone Share Posted October 25, 2023 Quick question, if the Sword Scion background grants access to the Aldori Dueling Sword and allows you to treat it as a Martial Weapon for Proficiency, is it a valid choice for the Unconventional Weaponry feat if you don't already have proficiency with all Simple and Martial weapons?

Phntm888 Posted October 26, 2023 Clone Share Posted October 26, 2023 (edited) Okay, thanks. That helps with character design. EDIT: Ended up switching character design away from an aspiring Swordlord, so the interaction won't be needed.

Phntm888 Posted October 27, 2023 Clone Share Posted October 27, 2023 Do we have to wait for any kind of approval before jumping into the pre-game RP? Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkason Posted October 27, 2023 Clone Share Posted October 27, 2023 I believe the "pre-game" thread is just for folks to have fun / feel out their characters. I'm assuming from the setup that the cuts will happen "at the door" whenever the game proper starts.
