The Glacial pace at which GRRM writes.......also Rothfuss.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

I've always pronounced it CAM-bee-on as well.


One of the PCs fell in battle with a bunyip during the seal hunt portion of Book 1 and has put me in a bit of a bind as far as integrating a new character since they are on a ship far from civilization.

Would they have the forsaken traits? Thorn's training traits? How would they arrive? Have any other DM's had to deal with this situation in their WotW games?

Any ideas are welcome.


And Daredevil is basically a Lawful Good Grimlock Brawler.


Why are the pdfs so expensive? If the hardcover alone is $49.99 and the hardcover/pdf bundle is $59.99, you've basically said the value of the pdf is $10 but price the pdf alone at $29.99.

For comparison, the recently released Pathfinder Unchained hardcover is $39.99 with a pdf option for $9.99.

What was your reasoning behind tripling that? I'd buy all three mythic books but not for $90.

Well, I'd suggest before you come up with house rules to fix things that are broken, you try it with the actual rules first.

A reflex save is allowed no matter how big the thing is. If you cast a blade barrier on a creature, he and he makes his reflex save, he takes no damage and chooses what side of the barrier to be on.

When flying there is no direction between turns, so if you cast a blade barrier 'in front' (facing actually doesn't exist in pathfinder) of a flying creature, whether they dived last turn or not, they can choose to go whatever direction they want, likely avoiding the barrier.

It is a good spell, but I suspect if you follow the rules for the spell, you will find it to be a good spell, not an unbalancing one.

This. Creature spacing is an abstraction. You aren't a 5x5x5 cube as a medium creature. Lots of room to move. Reflex save allowed.


And, of course, as is the way of these things, the item arrived today.

Please cancel any replacement items.

Thank you.


Thank you. Much appreciated.


How long should I give this before reporting it never arrived? It's been well over a month at this point.


Summon monster to get earth elementals?

A few things come to mind.

solved by protection from evil.


Quicksand? Sandstorm type effect? Stone to mud followed by mud to stone? Animate Object on some stone statues?

Quicksand can be solved by rope or some other mundane equipment. Sandstorm by getting behind cover like a summoned wall or the like.
Flying or staying off the floor solves the stone to mud.
Shattering the statues before they animate solves the last.

Sorry, didn't see the second part of what you were looking for.

Well, I can for sure clear up one thing. When the wizard and the assassin tied initiative, the wizard should have (and did) go first. You mentioned you thought the higher roll should go first. This is covered under the Initiative topic in the PRD, here is it in quotes

"If two or more combatants have the same initiative check result, the combatants who are tied act in order of total initiative modifier (highest first)."
So you did that part correctly.

Actually, I disagree that it was done correctly (depending on modifiers). It says initiative modifier, not d20 roll. Initiative is 1d20 + any modifiers (Dexterity, Feats, Traits, etc.).

An assassin probably has a higher Dexterity and other things going for him there than the wizard does.

For example, Assassin rolls a 2 and has +11 for modifiers for a total of 13. Wizard rolls a 12 with a +1 modifier for a total of 13.

Assassin goes first. Am I interpreting that sentence wrong somehow?


I'm interested in running a PbP game for my regular gaming group here on the message boards as a trial run at running a PdP game with players I know rather than submitting a blanket request. How do I set something like that up? Is that even possible?

Thanks for any input.

It's showing that it's all using store credit on our end and in your confirmation email:

Order Total - $XY.XY
Store Credit to Apply - $XY.XY

Where is it showing for you that it is using your card?

I see it now, farther down the order info. The card being listed first led to the confusion. Many thanks.


This shows as being paid by credit card. It should be being paid for by store credit.

Thank you.


Thank you, Erik.


Hello,

My latest credit card bill shows $67.95 USD charged to my Mastercard with a Trans Date of July 18th. All my orders are using store credit so I am confused as to just where this charge is coming from.

Please assist.

Thank you.


How is it we have Sharknado but no sequel to Deep Rising?!


Well crap, I feel slightly ripped off. I bought the pdf before there was a hardcover/pdf offer in the wind.


I sold a large collection of miniatures to Paizo and was credited half of the total quoted to me with promises of the other half. I have since used some of this partial credit for several orders.
However, 5 weeks have now passed without the other half of my credit being applied and I have sent follow up e-mails at the three week and month mark for an update without getting an answer. Today marks the five week mark and I had hoped for some reply regarding the remaining credit owed to me.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.


I can understand that. big commitment. I choose to simply enjoy each book on its own merits, instead.
Game of Thrones, Malazan and Wheel of Time taught me to do that.


Way of Kings. Amazing worldbuilding.


I see a lot of advanced monsters with notations like: Name CR #, a hp entry, and a source citation.
I assume that if the CR of the advanced monster is only 1 above the normal version, you apply the advanced simple template.
Is this correct?
Thanks.


I received my confirmation e-mail regarding order #3025175 but do not see it in my list of orders.


So, if I am understanding you correctly, I can place the order without worrying that my credit card will be charged?


I have several items in my cart and when I try to apply store credit, it just loops to the place order screen and tells my credit card will be charged. I am using credit to cover the entire order total.
I had already changed my settings to use store credit for all future orders so this seems strange.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.


Kindly cancel this order and my ongoing adventure path subscription.

Thank you.


I will borrow someones camera and get a pic to you as soon as I can.

Thank you.


Hello,

The Shattered Star Pathfinder pawns in my order arrived damaged but the adventure path (underneath the pawns in the mangled box) was ok. What is your policy regarding this kind of thing? I would love a replacement if possible.

Thank you.


I'd love a copy as well.

I received an email saying there was a problem with my credit card, corrected the card info, and got an email stating the charges to the card but still see no order for part 6 of the Council of Thieves or part 1 of Kingmaker, nor has there been an email to let me know I can download my pdf copy of either book.

Please assist.

Thank you

Well, my account shows Kingmaker 2 as the next product, but I didn't receive part 6 of the Council of Thieves or Kingmaker 1 as yet, nor does part 6 of The Council or Kingmaker 1 show in my downloads as options to download.

Please assist.

Any idea?

I have not received this product (The last in the Second Darkness adventure path). Can you confirm shipping or issue a replacement?

Thank you


I didn't expect my players to make up a party of almost pure rogues; a ranger/rogue dual-wielding war razors, a cleric/rogue, and a pure rogue "Face" man. They did extremely well until they faced a certain lamia in a crumbling bell tower.


add me to the missing Dragon 358 and poster list. Dragon 359 and Dungeon 150 arrived today. Strangely Dungeon 150 had it's poster intact.


I hear you on the Canadian issue. I haven't received issues 358 or 359 either. I've worn a path in the carpet running to the mailbox constantly.


While I'm extremely saddened to see Dragon and Dungeon go, I'm optimistic about Paizo's ability to deliver quality product.

Given that my credit gave me six issues of Pathfinder, that means I'll have a complete adventure path delivered to my door in only half the time as before.

With a six-month period to evaluate the quality of the new product, adding a month-to-month subscription was a no-brainer for me.


Yup. 2 minutes before you replied to this one. Thanks for the replacement.


Hello Cosmo.

I posted in another thread about missing Dragon issue #340 and did not see a reply so this is a freindly reminder for a replacement. Thank you.


Hello. My Dragon #340 has as yet not arrived. Could you send me a replacement issue please. Thank you.


I also have not received my Dragon magazine, though the website states it shipped on November 1st. Come to mention it, I haven't got my Dungeon either! Grrrr... Could customer service assist?


The current shipping costs are ridiculous. I recently almost placed an order for 10 items, 6 of which were splatbook size and softcover, a DM's screen, and 3 hardcovers. Total weight...maybe 5 pounds. Item costs $90. Shipping costs $110. Needless to say I cancelled the order and you lost a sale.


I'm in the same boat. No Dragon #328. I have grown accustomed to my subscription showing up 3 weeks late. I just sent an email to customer service about #327 not getting here and Jeremy Walker from Paizo Customer Service said they would send a replacement. The Customer Service staff do a great job of putting out fires but the consistantly late delivery is irksome.
