  • Menace Under Otari – Session 1

    • Wrapped up character creation and equipment buying
    • Party composition :
      • Barbarian (Suman)
      • Cleric (Lanasan)
      • Thaumaturge (Nolam)
      • Witch (Gilgalad)
    • Tamily Tanderveil asks the party to help her find out what is eating all of her salted fish stored in the basement of the Otari Fishery
    • The party finds a group of 4 giant rats in the basement. After taking a (heavy) beating the rats are disposed of. But these 4 rats aren’t enough to account for all the fish that has been eaten.
    • A collapsed wall in the basement leads to a series of caves beneath Otari; the party continues
    • They come across a 10′ cliff that they successfully use rope to climb down without injury
    • The party comes across a large cavern filled with thick webbing.
      • Gilgalad tries to cut through some of the webbing which alerts the giant spider hiding deep in the room. Combat!
      • The spider attempts to spray its webbing on the party, but is quickly overcome come by Suman’s barbaric charge
      • Found spider treasure:
        • Kobold remains
        • Short sword with emerald in pommel (5gp)
        • 1 Healing potion
    • The group continues on into caves that seems to be more leveled off and purposely built (vs naturally occurring like the last room)
    • They find a branch in the caves, but it is blocked by a make shift barricade
    • XP: 130

  • Differences From D&D

    List of differences in Pathfinder when coming from D&D

    • No more ability scores
      • Now there are just Attribute Modifiers (e.g. +1, +2, +3, etc)
    • Three action economy
      • Every round you get 3 action points to spend
      • Wide variety of thing you can spend action points on
    • Only characters/monsters with reaction skill can make attack of opportunity
      • This can make combat a little more dynamic with everyone moving more freely once they are in melee
    • Critical Hits/Misses
      • No longer based on whether you roll a 1 or 20.
      • Critical hit is getting result 10+ over target value
      • Critical miss getting result 10+ under target value
      • Depending on bonuses at play, then can make a critical hit/miss much more likely to happen (e.g. a boss with a +12 to hit and the effect that’d have on combat)
    • Character Creation
      • Ancestry/Race plays a bigger role in development
        • HP determine part of starting HP
        • You’ll get skills feats based Ancestry
        • You’ll get access to additional race-specific feats/skills as you level up
      • Backgrounds more than just flavor text
        • Depending on background, you get different starting attribute mod bonuses plus skills
        • Like ancestry, you’ll get access to more feats/skills as you level up
      • Classes
        • You’ll get skills feats based class
        • You’ll get access to additional class-specific feats/skills as you level up
      • Combination of Ancestry/background/class make each character feel more unique
    • Battle Tips
      • Things to do other than just attack 3 times:
        • Its important to work together and set each other up for success
        • trip, flank, Demoralize, debuff spell, buff spell, etc.
        • Recall knowledge to find strength/weakness
      • Have some kind of healing
      • Have full HP before encounters
