Wanna get better at the game?
da_mayor replied to teasel's topic in Pathfinder Adventures: General Discussion (No Spoilers!)
This seems like way more work than (total sides + number of dice)/2. Though you'll find them mathematically equivalent. -
Blessing Deck Bug
da_mayor replied to teasel's question in Pathfinder Adventures: Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)
When you defeat a villain but the villain isn't cornered (all locations are closed/temp closed), you first close the location from which the villain card was drawn/encountered, and then the villain escapes by shuffling the villain card in with a number of blessings so that the total number of cards shuffled together is the same as the number of locations that weren't closed when the villain was encountered. You pull these blessings from the vault/box. When the villain is undefeated, you do the same thing, except 1) the location where you encountered the villain isn't closed, and 2) instead of pulling the blessings from the vault, you pull them from the blessings deck. -
Completed Adventure, but no feat?
da_mayor replied to Eck314's question in Pathfinder Adventures: Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)
Question 1: Check means you have completed the Scenario on any one difficulty. Blank means you haven't yet completed the scenario on any difficulty. Filled diamond is actually OVER the checkbox to indicate that this is the Scenario you attempted most recently. Question 2: You only ever get a Scenario or Adventure reward ONCE, no matter which difficulty you completed it on. So if you got the feat when you did it on Normal difficulty, you won't get it on Heroic or Legendary (or repeating Normal). -
Missing skinsaw mask
da_mayor replied to Satiricalchive's question in Pathfinder Adventures: Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)
Odd. When you unlock the Skinsaw Mask by playing AD2 through on Legendary, you don't actually get it in a character's card inventory. It just puts the card in the Gallery, and it may or may not be added to your vault in any given (AD2 or higher) scenario. Are you sure you don't mean the Stalker Mask that you get by having Aldern Foxglove and the Skinsaw Man in the same place? That's a loot, and should ALWAYS show as available in the Gallery under Deck 2 in the Loot section (gold crown with a start above and to the right, far right side of the button bar). -

Oh, yeah, I wasn't saying "you should expect to succeed at that point", I'm just saying you can start calculating your odds from there. I don't like rolls that are a single die because there's no bell curve leading to middle rolls. I also figure that getting a 2 on every die is reasonable, and I'll stretch it to less-than-3-on-average fairly comfortably. -
Completely off topic...
da_mayor replied to Kgk4569's topic in Pathfinder Adventures: General Discussion (No Spoilers!)
Work Saturday, see HMS Pinafore with Dad on Father's day (US), play the physical PACG Monday and Tuesday. B-) -
Gads. It was summer of 1980. It was a mishmash of Basic and AD&D because we were pre-teens and played kinda fast 'n' loose with those pesky rules. I don't even remember what kind of character I generated, but we used those cut-out chits instead of dice, and we played B2 (Keep on the Borderlands). We didn't so much have a DM as we laid out the map, traced paths to rooms (oddly, traps weren't really a problem), and drew chits to kill things. It really wasn't proper gaming as I know it now, but that's where it all started.

For a shortcut on your average roll, add the number of "Sides" total (d4 + d6 +d8 = 18 sides), plus the number of dice, and divide that total in half. (In the same example, that's 10 and a half). That's the average roll, and you should get that slightly more than 50% of the time. -
Completed missions question
da_mayor replied to Beetroot's topic in Pathfinder Adventures: General Discussion (No Spoilers!)
I believe the Gold Button just shows you the last scenario an individual attempted. If you look REAL closely, you can see if there's a checkbox rather beneath the gold button. -
Suggestions and Ideas Thread
da_mayor replied to Kgk4569's topic in Pathfinder Adventures: General Discussion (No Spoilers!)
I believe that they very deliberately don't want people removing all the cards they don't want and replacing them with ones they do. The original set was carefully tweaked for each adventure. Now, I like the idea of tweaking the Treasure cards you add (which you can KINDA do by Salvaging, but I'd prefer to keep the cards in a virtual storage area rather than swap 'em permanently for gold). -
Adding more characters definitely changes the game experience. Each character has their own strengths and weaknesses and deserves an individual play-style, and learning these ins and outs is a large part of what I find fun about the game. But picking up more adventures means being able to advance your characters further, which is also quite enticing. Whichever you choose, I'm sure you'll continue to have a great time.

So, with the new chests (and from updating my spreadsheet to accurately represent a few card rarities), I now have: 144 chests, 576 cards. 405 Uncommons (max dupe: tied at 16 Dilettants and Noble Brats), 110 Rares (max dupe: 13 Orbs of Ice), 56 Epics (max dupe: tied at 7 Flasks of Firestorm and Rings of Superior Protection), and 5 Legendaries (max dupe: 3 Brooches of Shielding, with 2 Amulets of Inescapable Location running a close second). I'm missing 4 (of 68) Uncommons, 8 (of 40) Rares, 26 (of 55) Epics, and 30 (of 32) Legendaries. I'm not counting the Black Arrow Longbow as a Legendary since it doesn't come from a chest.
