Ah - still, can't wait to see her in print. Is her red hand a graft?She is cool looking. Villian or kick butt Iconic ?This is one of those mock-up covers using existing artwork as placeholders. She's a baddie from Pathfinder 1, and won't actually be appearing in Pathfinder 7.
She's actaully the main bad guy of "Burnt Offerings." Her red hand is not a graft. It's more of a "work in progress."
She is cool looking. Villian or kick butt Iconic ?
Actually, my answer should have been "kick-butt villain." I REALLY enjoyed the lead-up to the PCs encountering her character in Pathfinder 1, as players gradually learn that things with her are not as they initially seem—and that that statement becomes more true with every day that passes.
Pathfinder 1 through to 6 takes the characters from level 1-20 right?
Will number 7 be restarting at 1 again?
Pathfinder #1 launches this August with Paizo's newest Adventure Path, Rise of the Runelords. Runelords is a complete campaign that takes player characters from 1st level to 15th level and possibly beyond.
Oh, and this AP will probably cover levels 1–15. Could go higher or lower. We're still working out those gory details.

Fan request for the cover art to this path's player's guide:
How about it making it look like a secret door, or perhaps an interesting (non-blank) wall, instead of a book? A treasure-box for the regalia of Korvosa or similar could also be cool. I'd suggest an homage to the 2nd 1e DMG cover, but you guys did that in Three Faces of Evil.
Does this continue from Rise of the Runelords in that PC's should begin this AP at around level 15, or is this a new 1-3rd level adventure that's merely set in the same world?
(It seems this question might have been answered before, and I apologize if it has been. I can't find, though, where it has been answered.)
I love otyughs. I always imagine them lurking beneath the cities sulking because they're not allowed to go to the opera or the dances or whatever, just because they're amazingly ugly and eat sewage. I mean, who can really blame them for hating humans?
Straight up. Almost makes me want to start the OLF.
Also, otyughs are quite accomplished at the waltz.
Man I really hope that we can bring the lvl 15+ characters from the first chapter over to this chapter. If not I'm gonna have three guys on my hands who are going to be pretty bummed out that there going to have to start new characters over for this second chapter. I just don't see the point in getting the first set of character up to lvl 15 then starting all over again with the new chapter...I was under the impression that when I first subscribed to Pathfinder, the game would advance character into the epic lvls.

I hope your joking. If not, I'm sorry for the assumption and if so, I totally get it. ;0
Well, you kind of have to stop somewhere, right? D&D doesn't really support 50th level characters. Do want Pathfinder to just keep exponentially rising in levels?
"I can't wait for Pathfinder #37 so that I can finally Lvl up my Fighter 3/Bard 78/ Rogue 2,345!"
That rogue gets 875d6 Sneak Attack.
I see where your coming from and no I didn't expect the characters to advance up to lvl 50...which was a pretty dumb exaggeration to begin with. In any case, D&D does however support epic lvl characters. I just don't see why Pathfinder would stop the character advancement just when its about to get really good.
I was under the impression that when I first subscribed to Pathfinder, the game would advance character into the epic lvls.It has been mentioned on many occassions that at least the first two APs will go from approximately 1-15th. Above that the game gets a bit imbalanced and is far more difficult to design interesting/balanced adventures. Also a lot more people play lower and mid level games than high level ones, so it would not be economically viable to continue the AP which would cause the subscriber base to slowly dimisnish with each passing chapter.
That being said, you can always design adventures to continue the storyline.
I must have missed the occasions on when they stated that the first two AP's are from lvl 1-15. Had I seen them, I might have reconsidered my subscription to Pathfinder. And yea I could design an new adventure to continue the storyline, however I subscribed to Pathfinder because of the fact that I lack the creativity to create my own storyline to begin with.
What your saying makes perfect sense, but it just doesn't lift my spirits in any way.

James has hinted on these very messageboards on a few occasions that we haven't seen the end of the Runelords. I'm betting some paths will accommodate or even BEGIN in high level play, just not the first couple. May want to tell your players to let those badass 15th levelers cool their heels for just a bit, and start up a new campaign, but those 15th level heroes will see play again soon I'm betting.
Thanks a lot Nicolas! Now that bit of news gives me some hope!
Heathansson: I hadn't even thought of that, I'll look into it...might take some work but if the characters from Runelords don't actually make it into a later AP I could always try to convert one of the 15+ modules into the Pathfinder setting. Anyone have any recommendations?
Hell, maybe a gamemastery module for 15th level would be of utility to these high-hitting sluggers who finished an AP and were drooling for more(?) Just a brainstorm.
Yeah, perhaps even a trilogy of connected GameMastery modules to finish out the high teens and get the characters to 20. :) That would actually be pretty cool.

...because all good things in fantasy must be in trilogy form :P
I'm so looking forward to this next AP. The only shortcoming is that I'll have to covert it into WFRP2, but that should be the fun part! The hard part will be having to wait until March to get my hands on the first chapter.

Yeah, dude, I totally overexaggerate. It's like my power and my curse. :}
I'm totally with you on wanting to see some high level modules, I just like the fact that Pathfinder starts fresh every time. I think it's good to stretch your legs and let some campaigns have an ending, ya know?
But maybe starting a Pathfinder at level 5 and going up to 20, that might be pretty cool sauce.

That's absolutely a possibility, and if we DO something like this, chances are good that we'll construct the campaign so that a previous Adventure Path or set of GameMastery modules would work perfect as a lead-in to it.

Consider this consumer interest!
Right now I am teetering on becoming a Gamemastery subscriber...
