Assassins Needed! Prey for Death Level 14 Pathfinder2e adventure

Creating your character

You can create your character ahead of time at your favorite Pathfinder character builder. Starting at level 14 with 9,300 gp to spent. I waive the level rule on new characters, so you can buy anything you like, of any level, as long as you can afford it. In addition to what you buy with the 9300 gp, you will receive an additional treasure bundle at the start of the adventure, from the following list: - a pouch with 6 uses of 13th-level or lower common consumables - a common worn magic item of 13th level or lower - a keen, shockwave, or spell reservoir rune - a wand of a common 6th-rank or lower spell In addition, all characters begin with the Minor Boon of Achaekek: "Once, when you would fail a Stealth check, you critically succeed instead. Achaekek typically grants this boon for an extremely consequential Stealth check that could lead to an assassination, such as one that could get you into position to kill an important target, but rarely on a Stealth check to help you escape." We will be playing with my usual Variant-Rule trio of Gradual Ability Boosts, Free Archetype, and Ancestry Paragon. I highly suggest you use some of your Free Archetype slots to take the Red Mantis Assassin archetype and develop it out.

Preparing for the session

We will be using Discord and FoundryVTT to play. Please have a working microphone and headphones to filter out echo from the voice chat. Foundry runs in a browser. Chrome and Chromium browsers with GPU acceleration work best.

What Scott brings to the table

I will bring my Foundry server, set up with the official module and many supplemental modules to automate various Pathfinder effects and hopefully leave us free to worry about the story. I do not provide music as I find it interferes with everyone being able to hear each other during the play of the game.

Homebrew rules

I have a few house rules which make it a little easier to get a defender Off-Guard by surrounding them, even if you're not precisely "Flanking" by the rulebook. I also refund Hero Points when the die comes up with the same exact number on the reroll. On secret checks, I always reveal if you get a nat 20, because otherwise you'll never know and I feel one of the benefits of that Critical Success should be that you are 100% sure you've got good information (or are well-hidden or whatever).

How Scott creates a safe table

We take a ten-minute break halfway through the session, and anyone can call for a break at any time. Further, you can leave the "table" at any time if you need to. I just ask that you notify us. I have the X-Card foundry module installed and I use the Monte Cook RPG Consent Checklist for sensitive roleplay material. And of course, there will be a free Session Zero where we can all meet each other, build characters, talk about story, and make sure everyone is on the same page before we get into the action!
