Ethics Gradient

I'm sorta okay with leaving that part as is. The fact that it is annoying and time-consuming to restart is the only thing stopping a player from "modifier shopping." I totally admit that I will click as many buttons as necessary to forfeit scenarios with particularly terrible and non-fun modifier combos, but if it were really easy to back out and restart it would just allow players to keep rolling the RNG until an "easy" scenario came up.

If I recall correctly, the "50%" figure only came up when the devs were discussing the dice as a coming addition to the game. There was a minor outcry that the number was too high, so it may have been reduced before launch. It's been reliably 25% for a while. My loose collections of data only really stretch back to 1.0.3.8, which is the patch immediately after dice skins were released. I'm not very certain what dice frequency looked like the couple weeks during 1.0.3.7.

The bundle is $5 and it includes: - 10 Treasure chests - "Spooky" Dice - Ghost Goblin Monster Promo Card (Cannot be evaded, automatically defeated, makes bane checks in the remainder of the scenario 2 harder, but boons 3 easier) Currently the dice and card do not appear to be available any way other than this bundle. Also, Aarik posted this image over in the Announcements section of the forum:

Hannibal_PJV is right. The rules for that scenario are crazier-than-average. Here's a pic of the scenario card from the paizo blog that explains to combine "Henchmen" selections together first before randomly dealing them out to each location deck. Edit: Added a link to the paizo blog post the image came from.

25% chance of finding a dice skin per treasure chest redeemed is right on average. Breaking the stats down even further..., Legendary Dice have a <1% chance per treasure redeemed. Compared to Legendary Cards, Legendary Dice are at least a dozen times rarer. Good luck!

Regarding your first question, Thieves Tools and Masterwork Tools only add dice to your Disable Check, which is a skill that Lini does not have. Even if she activates Beast Mode and gets to roll a d10 for Dexterity,when you roll a check that your character doesn't have, you use a d4. And for your second question, in Here Comes the Flood the counter for the Villain doesn't show how many allies he's captured, but how many cards he's taken. Only at the end of the scenario do you compare the number of allies captured. You aren't supposed to find out until the end.

Known issue. Long story short, the items are working correctly to add +1 to your check..., but are inadvertently downgrading the check type and you are losing other combat bonuses. In your Amiri example, her Combat:Melee bonus is +6 [+4 Strength and +2 Melee]. When you play the Belt of Giant Strength, it correctly adds the +1, but changes it to Combat:Strength check and you lose the +2 Melee bonus. After you play the Belt, the total bonus is +5 [+4 Strength and +1 Belt]. The good news is that you can just tap the center-top of the screen and change it back to a Melee check and get your full +7 bonus [strength + Melee + Belt]. A couple items are bugged like this. You just need to occasionally verify which check type the game automagically chose for you.

Just changing dice is not enough to trigger a character revision and sync it off to "the cloud." However, if you bring a character to the Quest or Story "overworld" it should save their settings and push it to the server.

Ah, you're right! As of today, you're forced to upgrade to build 669 (1.1.4.3) if you want to be online. It is possible your iOS device is flaking out and can't find the new version, or it didn't process the update correctly. One way to kickstart the App Store is to open it up and tap on any of the icons on the bottom (Featured, Categories, etc...) ten times. Once you do the 10x tap trick, it will often get the App Store app to refresh and try a little harder to look for and process updates. Otherwise maybe try rebooting the device.

Aww! It was a fun while it lasted, but if you tried exploiting it, it had the side effect of de-shuffling the player's deck and putting it in order by item type. Once you grab a card from the deck, you are cursed to draw only Allies, Armors, Blessings, etc... for the rest of the scenario. It wasn't just an exploit, it was dark magic.

Ghosts 'n Goblins! Man, everything about that game was so classically 80's. The box art was no exception. State of the Art High Resolution Graphics! One Megabyte Memory

Loot item? Sorry, you're out of luck. Loot items are handed out by party though, so if you get to work on a second squad, you are able to swap characters around and trade items between parties. May I ask which Loot it was? Some of them are more "missable" that others.

Patch seems to be up on iOS. I imagine google play should have it now too.

Looks like 1.1.4.3 just went live on the iTunes App Store (US). Good luck everyone!

The devs giveth, and the devs hath taken away. Still, watching the game develop since public release has been a ton of fun. Progress is being made, but you always need to watch out for something.... odd to happen.

That looks to be the case. From elsewhere in the forum: The fix will allow you to continue play (as the buttons will work)

Not yet. No. Multi-platform is "coming soon," but there's currently no way to log into your Pathfinder "cloud" from both iOS and Android right now. Multiple devices works reasonably well... as long as you stay iOS or Android. There's currently no way to switch between the two, as your PFID is tied to either your iOS Game Center login or your Google Play store account.

No forced update yet. Last I checked, it was fine if you were playing on build 662 or 664. Anything less and you'll get a message to download a newer version. Edit: Forgot to mention that "Endless Sinspawn" would be a pretty awesome name for a band. It's easily the most "Metal"-sounding topic I've seen in the support forums so far.

The issue has been corrected and should appear in a patch soon. Additionally, one of the devs mentioned that the fix will get players out of the current game "lock." No need to do anything drastic yet like deleting saves or the app. Best advice for now is simply to hold on and wait for the patch to make its way through the approval channels.

Yeah, a silent update. The "I think we fixed Justice Ironbirar" release.

These days, I'll solo any character that doesn't have any Powers or Cards that provide useful support to other characters at their location. More often than not, everyone is on their own to help close locations if the villain turns up. Larger parties should have more than enough "panic blessings" to throw at a check in the event a solo character comes across a hopeless situation. When I played this card game tabletop, it did play fairly conservatively. Playing a scenario had a long set-up, and it is a certifiable pain-in-the-butt to shuffle and assemble two dozen tiny decks. But without the threat of shuffling, it is fun to play the Pathfinder app fairly aggressively. I you still have a dozen cards in your character's deck at the end of the scenario, you probably could have taken a lot more risks in the game.

I'd put it in the neighborhood of ~2%. But when you smooth that out a little, the chances of finding a specific Legendary in a single Treasure chest is generally no better than 0.25%. Between that and the legendary dice drops, it was pretty trivial to model the long end of the tail (legendary rarity only) as in the initial Guess-O-Tron v1.0. There's some variation in the middle rarities, but at the top and bottom, it is surprisingly close to the Hearthstone models.

Well, good news! If you only have time to farm 1000 chests, you'll probably only be missing 4 of the collectables. And if you're extremely-crazy-lucky, 1.3% of those simulations managed to complete the full set.

Hah! Guess-O-Tron v1.0 was pretty darn close. I went back and used some leftover excel wizardry from postgrad to run a better set of calculations. 3000 chests X 1000 simulations: - You have likely found 99.9% of available collectables (cards/dice); but only 91% of those simulations were able to complete the full set (at least 1 of each) If you started right now, after 2000 chests you have a little over a 50% chance of completing the collection. (Of course it will shift when new cards get added in; maybe I'll re-run it next patch and let my laptop angrily simulate another 30 million treasure chests...) Also, I'm aware I'm replying to my own post. Sometimes the boring stuff can suddenly seem real interesting ::shrug:: Meta-gaming is still gaming.... sort of.... right?

Didn't know that! I thought all "unique" cards (only one copy of each) were limited to one per party. I don't know that I like being able to have two (or more) of him in the party at the same time. Thanks for the information! Each party may be limited to finding one (or however many are indicated in the vault), but through trading or shenanigans, a party can have as many of any campaign card as you want.
