High-Level Martial Arts Competition - Fists of the Ruby Phoenix

Creating your character

First, I highly advise you to read through the Player's Guide on the discord for background details and information surrounding this adventure! Let me know if you have any trouble finding it. Following this, reach out to me. I'm happy to guide you through character creation in as much or as little detail as you would like! Characters will be tied together as a communal experience during session zero, and then if addt'l players join we'll set some time aside before a session to do the same. We will be utilizing the Free Archetype rules and ensuring characters have ties to not only one another, but a rival team as well. The game begins at level 11. Full rules will be posted on the discord for those who wish to work ahead!

Preparing for the session

Necessary Materials 🎙️ Microphone 👾 Discord account 🛜 Stable internet connection This game will be played using the voice chat functions of Discord (Link provided) and the Foundry VTT software (no download required, I will provide a link through my discord.) Archives of Nethys is a very useful resource for Pathfinder 2e! Highly recommend bookmarking it. Make sure to read through the Ruby Phoenix Player's Guide on my discord! (It can also be found on the paizo website!) Please come prepared with an idea for a character build and a willingness to collaborate with the party! Any level of familiarity with the Pathfinder 2e rules is fine, as I am happy to teach as we play, though I would ask that you have at least read the rules and have a basic understanding of the gameplay loop. Also, if there's anything I can do to better accomodate you, just send me a DM and I'll do my best! See you at the table!

What Nyx! brings to the table

🗺️ I am providing an entirely mapped out adventure in Foundry VTT! 🎵 I bring a carefully curated and smoothly integrated soundscape to establish ambience! 🗡️ I ensure balanced and dynamic encounter design tweaked to the party's composition. 🎭 I'm a professionally trained actor and voice actor, and promise to bring the world of Tian Xia and those within to life. 🛡️ As an intimacy coordinator, I ensure the safety of all players at my table. I respect your time, your investment, and you. 🎲 I am here to help. Jumping in to a new system, new level bracket, and/or a new virtual tabletop software, can be overwhelming! I'll be available as a resource the entire way, and will happily teach you the ins and outs of both Pathfinder2e and FoundryVTT.

Homebrew rules

- Hero Points have more impact! If your reroll on the die is below 10, we'll be adding 10 to the result of the roll. - Free Archetype rules are in play! - Spell Attack runes have been added to the world of Golarion, at the same costs and intervals as the standard +1 weapon runes. - Full spellcasting classes (Bard, Cloistered Cleric, Druid, Oracle, Sorcerer, Witch, Wizard,) as well as Kineticists, will appreciate adjusted proficiencies to bring them closer to martials in consistency. Expert proficiency at level 5 Master Proficiency at level 9 Legendary Proficiency at level 13

How Nyx! creates a safe table

A Lines and Veils sheet will be sent to all players upon approval of joining the group. Session 0 will be used to communally build characters in a way that encourages cohesion, as well as go over potential content and discuss all safety tools present. In advance of this, if you are new to Pathfinder2e or FoundryVTT (or both,) let's please schedule some time to go over these systems and do whatever we can to make you feel comfortable! I come from the educated and enthusiastic perspective of Intimacy Coordination. I am professionally trained in handling sensitive material and ensuring that we can separate the character and the game from the real world people involved. I will be checking in with the entire group at the end of each session, and have an open door policy for private conversations if/when necessary. Your safety is my highest concern.
