Arazyr's page

I set it as the date my subscription order was entered. (I meant to make it the day it shipped, but misread the page. 8^) So, for my campaign, the first day was 4712-04-12.

My wallet is staring at me sternly, but I just jumped on board for the hardcover.

I would say not, based on the interaction between Maximize Spell and Empower Spell. That is, Maximize Spell maximizes the NORMAL rolled values, then Empower Spell gives you half a normally rolled value. Seems to me that the "doubling" from a critical hit would behave similarly.

I did a conversion of the UA system a little while ago.

I could so see a follower of Cayden Cailean shouting "Sobriety!" as an epithet. 8^)

Flip-Mat: City Streets?

I do a mix between new character every time and recycling concepts. There are a few character types that I really like and like to revisit every now and then. But, on the other hand, I have so many other character concepts I want to try as well.

You may not use artwork, including maps, that have not been published in the blog, although you may create your own interpretations of material presented in our artwork and maps, provided that your interpretations don't look substantially similar to our materials.

Emphasis mine.

If you can find someone to make new "interpretations" of the maps, you could probably make them as detailed and high-resolution as you want. That's a pretty big "if", I know, but it is an option. (And I have seen some pretty good maps produced by people here on these boards...)

P.S., those look pretty cool. 8^)

Yeah, put 'em in spoiler tags, but post them! 8^)

I think this is a great product BUT to people like me who were buying each of the print editions as they came out is not very nice to leave out the final module and expect us to buy this hardback just to get the last module. I will not be buying any further series modules from Frog God Games to avoid this in the future. This is from a person who has ALL of their products including Necromancer Games products.

In any case, it's NOT the final module. It's a short bonus chapter and not a gimmick to mess with people.

I'm sorry that you feel cheated in some way, but we have been very forthright about the bonus chapter for at least year now if I'm not mistaken.

Again the "Bonus Chapter" is not "the final module". If you have purchased ST1 through ST14 then you have not missed out on any of the story.

You might like to have someone change the last paragraph of the product description above, where it actually says, "the final fifteenth chapter!" then, because that's the impression I got as well.

On the Monk page, looks like some text is missing from Flurry of Blows:

Flurry of Blows (Ex): Starting at 1st level, a monk can make a flurry of blows as a full-attack action. When doing so he may make one additional attack using any combination of unarmed strikes or attacks with a special monk weapon (kama, nunchaku, quarterstaff, sai, shuriken, and siangham) as if using the Two-Weapon Fighting feat (even if the monk does not meet the prerequisites for the feat). For the purpose of these attacks, the monk's base attack bonus from his monk class levels. For all other purposes, such as qualifying for a feat or a prestige class, the monk uses his normal base attack bonus.

In the 5th Printing Core Rulebook, the italicized sentence reads, "For the purpose of these attacks, the monk's base attack bonus from his monk class levels is equal to his monk level."

Here's what I could use: More information about how the gods of Golarion interact with the denizens of the other planets (if at all). There did not seem to be a lot of information about religion on the other planets. (There was some, but I don't remember seeing much, especially about Golarion's pantheon[s].)

If it helps, there was a Spell Points system in the 3.5 Unearthed Arcana, which can also be found on d20srd.org.

I have done my own conversion of this system to Pathfinder RPG on my own website.

Yes! More Prestige Classes! 8^)

Ogre Brute, backside. Didn't need to see that... *scarred for life*

Needs more detailed CN orc tribes in Belkzen what with Gorum worship being on the rise among that population.

Or details for any tribe of orcs that aren't just evil... Anything to have some actual decent orc culture for heroic half-orcs/orcs to pull from so that they aren't forced to be "lone rebel against their own kind" again.

Not quite the same, but I think I recall something about Kaer Maga having a significant population of half-orcs. I actually have a character right now who is a second-generation half-orc from KM.

I have occasionally considered starting up a CUP-based website for things like this. How many people would be interested in things like stats for Golarion's gods?

Conversion Guide

I signed up on this a few days ago, before it hit goal. Glad to see it's a go. 8^)

Thing that bugs me the most about Golarion is the lack of "traditional" fantasy tropes, like countries that are actually "kingdoms". We've got tons of city-states, a few empires, fledgling democracies, theocracies of dark gods, pharoahs, etc., but I can't think of (off hand) a country that would fit the old-fashioned "King and Queen" run Kingdom. With princesses to be saved, etc. Yes, I know, the folks in change, and likely most people, are tired of these old tropes, but I consider them to be classics, and should, at least, have some representation.

Most of the 3rd party stuff I've bought, I've done so BECAUSE they were used in a Pathfinder product. Not because I needed it to run the adventure (stats are reprinted when needed, as mentioned above), but simply because of the exposure. My thinking is, if it's good enough stuff for Paizo to want to use it in one of their products, it's got to be good enough to take a look at...

The archetype was in the blog here on the website at one point. Sorry, don't have a link.

The archetype would be the "official" Pathfinder RPG version.

I saw a link to this Kickstarter project in the Distant Worlds product thread, and signed up. I'm a fan of Spelljammer from back in the day, and would love to see this produced.

Good luck!

I do.

I would buy collected seasons. I am not nearly as involved in PFS as I would like to be (as in, really not at all), so I don't have any of them yet, but have considered them from time to time just as short adventures. I would love a collection, and hardcopies especially.

I so wish I had any chance of talking my wife into moving cross-country. That Software Developer position sounds like a dream job for me. (That is, I might be qualified for it, and I'd absolutely LOVE to work for Paizo!)

I was just saying I would like to other pcs other than the iconics. Who can out of the box has no preconceived notions about who they are..

Now, me, I'm on the other side of the fence on this. I'd like to see MORE of the "PC/NPC" type minis to.be iconics, or at least based on specific NPCs. That way, I can have the perfect mini to represent that NPC if I'm running that adventure, and if I'm not, I can ignore the name on the bottom and use it for whatever else I want to.

(@gnomewizard: Not meant as a rbuttal or singling you out. Your post waa just xonvenient to reply to as a set-up. 8^)

Sigh... looks like our distributor thinks it's supposed to be the same price as the Beginner Box Heroes set. (It's not—that one only has 4 minis, and this one has 6.) Thanks for letting us know!

Ah. That would do it.

You're welcome. Kind-of hated to be "the guy who pointed out the beneficial-to-customers error", but I've got a lawful streak. 8^)

Edit: Plus, you folks are too cool to take advantage of. 8^)

Is this on sale or something? The "Our Price" seems awfully low, even considering Pathfinder Advantage or the discount codes. (If I put it in my cart, it tells me I'm getting a 38% discount...)

Magical effects that increase size do not stack.

No further size increase.

Congratulations!

(...I didn't realize Gary and Sara Marie were associated. Learn something new every day. 8^)

Unfortunately, the Monster Advancement rules are silent on the matter of when to give ability score increases to creatures with racial HD who then gain class levels.

However, when adding racial HD, it does state that it's for every 4 ADDITIONAL HD, so my guess would be that adding class levels is intended to work similarly.

Personally, I think this is an unnecessary complication, and I would base it on total HD, whether racial or class based.

I'd allow it. It really wouldn't give the character more benefit than a regular magic weapon.

You all stay safe up there. Do what you need to do, stay where you need to stay. Yes, we'll be disappointed if our shipments are delayed, but moreso if any of you get yourselves made into yeti chow.

Edit: Didn't want anybody to feel left out. 8^)

So, here's my report. Got one case and black dragon promo. The black dragon box was taped, but none of the boosters in the case were taped. I did not pay attention to positioning of anything.

I did get a full set from my case. No duplicates within a brick. Nothing broken, but a few had come lose in their plastic holders. (One dwarf was face down at the bottom of his booster - must have had too much to drink before getting packed up. 8^)

Oddly, I got the red goblins in all four bricks, but only one pair of blue goblins. Two sets of gnome/dire rat.

83 miniatures total in the case.

In the Variant Channeling section of Ultimate Magic Cleric Options, every instance of the word "Heal" (to designate Channeling type) links to the Heal skill, and every instance of the word "Harm" links to the Harm spell.

I tried putting one in my cart, and only got my 15% Pathfinder Advantage discount.

Magic Missile is a force effect, so no ignition. That would require something that involves fire or heat.

Arazyr was the name of an ancient wizard in a 2nd Edition AD&D campaign/story I was writing, set in my homebrew campaign world. At one point, I decided to "consolidate" my online identity, and figured it would probably be available everywhere... 8^)

I went to Wikipedia first. Not quite as traumatizing...

Spiderpig, spiderpig...

Peter Porker, The Spectacular Spider-Ham is clearly cooler and more powerful than any of the other pigs anybody can possibly think of. 8^)

We never created PDFs for the Compleat Encounters line.

Hmm.

Please do. I got the "Encounter Only" versions a while ago, but would be glad to buy the PDFs as well.

Just sent an email. I'd love to see these as well.

If you're just going to be referencing Open Game Content, then a copy of the OGL at the back (with a correctly updated section 15, of course) SHOULD be sufficient. The Pathfinder compatibility advertising will probably require using the Pathfinder Compatibility License.

Kelsey,

These players are seriously taking advantage of you and ABUSING you -- as a GM, if not as a person.

Like others have said, get away from these jerks. You deserve to have fun as GM just as much as they do as players. Find some people to play with who are just a nice as you are.

It might help to not just look for players for a game. Maybe try to just meet some people and get to know them as friends first. If you only meet people at game stores, then join a group as a player first to get to know them. I know you like GMing, but it's important to KNOW people and their playstyles.

Good luck!

Gary and I walk past editorial department.

wes: Speak of the devil!

sara marie: Who? Me or Gary?

wes: ... Well.... I guess both of you could qualify...

Both of you qualify as A devil. That's quite a feat... 8^)

Reread the CAP again. it strictly forbids you from using what they designate as product identity in this case Golarian in publication. The only purpose of the materials in the CAP is for the fan use they choose to allow.

If you intend to publish, either use your own setting, or ask for a license that you're not going to get.

Well, yes, that's what I meant. I didn't mean commercial publishers, but fans. Sorry, must have been unclear.

You can write adventures, you just can't charge for them.

And please try to be a bit less confrontational. Communication is an imperfect art...
