P2E_Buddy Skill Overview (for Players)

What this is

P2E_Buddy is our private Pathfinder helper bot in Discord. It answers campaign questions using our Obsidian notes and PF2e quick-reference docs.

How to use it

In #aoa-chronicles, mention the bot:

  • @P2E_Buddy recap last session
  • @P2E_Buddy who is Barushak?
  • @P2E_Buddy who is in our party?
  • @P2E_Buddy rules check: <question>

If not mentioned, it stays quiet.

What sources it uses

Priority order:

  1. AoA timeline export (campaign chronology)
  2. AoA denizens notes
  3. PF2e rules quickrefs (PF2e_Core_Search_Index first)
  4. Character docs (02_Characters)
  5. Session docs (01_Sessions, weighted to recent in-game relevance)
  6. NPC docs (01_Campaigns/Age of Ashes/02_NPCs, as they are built out)
  7. Workshop artifacts (threat board)

How it decides what matters most

For story characters/baddies, it weights:

  • in-game recency (not IRL session date)
  • interaction intensity (fight/interrogation > rumor)
  • thread status (unresolved/escaped > dead/closed)

So it prioritizes active threats and open story threads.

Style / behavior

  • Spoiler-safe (uses only documented campaign knowledge)
  • Concise and table-speed
  • Calls out uncertainty instead of inventing rules text
  • Gives practical answers first, deep dives only when asked

Current access limits

  • Private to our PF group setup
  • Only allowlisted users can DM or trigger it
  • Guild/channel allowlisted

What it is not

  • Not a GM spoiler oracle
  • Not public
  • Not autonomous (it does not post unless asked)
