Pathfinder 2E Age of Ashes Adventure Path

Opening this thread for Mitch to begin discussions on the Age of Ashes adventure path.

Mitch - sign me up please

[Haman]

Okay! So the plan is to run the Ages of Ashes Adventure Path.

We will start with book one, Hellknight Hill. This will take the party from 1st through 4th level.

Paizo Description:

Dawn of a New Age

Fires burn atop the ruined citadel on Hellknight Hill, sending plumes of red smoke into the air that could be a call for help. Within the old keep, strange invaders from a distant land, mysterious long-lost ruins, and the machinations of a shadowy organization await discovery. Something dire is building toward an apocalyptic event, and it falls to your characters to stop the end before it begins. The Age of Ashes Adventure Path begins with "Hellknight Hill"—a complete adventure for 1st- to 4th-level characters.

For Pathfinder society, these adventures are played outside of normal society play with each adventure path granting one level. These can be applied to any character you want at any level you want, although item availability is unchanged from standard rules.

The idea is to run this once a month on our normal Wednesdays starting in November.

I will be running this under a modified society scheme, with the standard society rules being used, but all allowed races, including those requiring boons as available to everyone.

If you have any questions, please feel free to either post them here or pm me.

Player 1: Annie - Champion
Player 2: Richard - Cleric
Player 3: OJ - Sorceror
Player 4: Damon
Player 5: Brian
Player 6: James

I do have a couple of questions.

Are backgrounds from the Age of Ashes Players Guide allowable?

My initial though for my character would be a warrior bard with a marshal archetype. However, I am more than willing to take what ever role the party needs. I would like to take the Returning Descendant if that is ok?

[Haman]

I have no issues with players using the backgrounds found in the Players guide.

[WhiteMane]

I am interested in playing.

Is this going to be a Society legal game or are we playing for fun? (It won't impact if I want to participate.... I just wanted to know.)

[Haman]

As of right now, all 2E adventure paths and modules are not legal for society play, but do grant a chronicle sheet if played in campaign mode, at least for Age of Ashes, and Fall of Plaguestone.


So not society legal play, but I am planning on using Society rules with the Ages of Ashes Backgrounds and free use of the currently ACP locked races.

Hello

I would like to play this game also. Sounds like it would be a lot of fun.

Damon

[Hakken]

I am interested

[lochinvar_1971]

Ok, I have changed my mind on my character. I think a cloistered cleric of Nocticula may be more interesting in this adventure path.

Uploading Age of Ashes Players Guide

[WhiteMane]

I just checked, and Age of Ashes is legal for Society Play. Check out the description located here... https://paizo.com/products/btq01znq?Pat ... night-Hill

That said, it does appear that it is best run in Campaign Mode which means that we have characters that aren't necessarily Society characters that we run through it, and then apply it to our Society characters.

Richard... Since this is run in Campaign Mode, do you have any special rules for character creation beyond the Players Guide?

BTW I'm thinking of bringing a Sorcerer who with the Haunting Vision background.

[lochinvar_1971]

OJ,

Mitch is actually going to run this. His ruleset is listed above. I do not know what his stance on uncommon or rare backgrounds are.

[Haman]

I have added the classes people are looking at playing to the starter post for those players who have stated a planned build.

[lochinvar_1971]

Not knowing what others are playing, in intend to dip heavily into the Bard Archetype.

[WhiteMane]

I am bringing a divine sorcerer that has been having visions of doom... dooooom.... dooooooooom..... So we definitely have a good healer in the party!

Mitch... should we assume that we are agents of the Pathfinder Society (thus getting to choose if we are Field Commissioned Agents, or members of the school of Swords, Scrolls or Spells?)
