You could even make the argument that toughness is a state of mind. You know the bad guy that won't go down because he wills himself to keep on going....

Can the creature taking over the fighter use the fighter's feats? The wording isn't clear.

at 500 gold a pop too!

Perhaps Paizo could spring for a special tee shirt when a GM hits a certain star.

Now let me see if I can hussle my wife and kids for some money so we can play Scrabble.

Was in a PFS game last night and GM said you had to see the area that you are wanting to D. Door to. The spells says visualize or know the direction. If I wanted to move to a room within range that we were just in should I be able to use the spell to get there, even if I couldn't see it?

I didn't argue the point but did want to double check my knowledge for our next game.

Thanks all

I've read through many of these posts but not all.

How about first limiting the games to a 5 level range.
Each session would have gold for EACH level 1 to 5.
Limit players to playing up or down to no more than two levels.

If you play down you get the lower gold. If you play up you get 1/2 the extra gold.

So if your playing a 3rd level character, your GM looks at the loot for level three at the end of the adventure. lets say its a 1000 gold.

your playing up, and the amount listed for 4th level is 1300. In that case you would get 1150. The players get a more hair raising adventure and extra gold they will need for expendables.

The designer in this case should design the session for 6 players at level 2 for the lower tier and 6 players at level 4 for the higher tier. In this example the 5th level character could only play the top tier and the first level can only play the lower tier. Characters 2 - 4 could play either based on the group's needs. If the group is right in the middle, have a silent vote counted by the GM, if any plays object, the group plays down.

I've heard that in some session 4 games the adventure is modified if there are only 4 players. For example for Boss fight only has two
big baddies rather than three. This to me is a good idea as well to round out options for the GM and scale the adventure.

The above example will make paperwork at the end of the session go very quickly. It would give players a strong framework for playing up or down with some, but not an overpowering reason to play up.

Do players get 3 XP for all approved modules? Dawn of the Scarlet Sun for example looks like its gold matches up with 1 XP.

My local VL and VC mentioned it to me towards the end of Megacon, I didn't realize that it was special. I should have asked Mike about it there.

I have searched here and under the Pathfinder Beginner Box section.

Another idea I like is getting access to an item that is special with every session. An item that at least 1/2 the time can be used by most characters.

Its a big let down going trough a great adventure and getting 500 gold and access to a +1 cloak that you can buy anyway....

Perhaps PFS could allow a 5% discount on items on your sheets, it would still make that +1 cloak a little better!

That way gold inflation is kept in check and we still get to go back and look at our old sheets from time to time and go shopping with a small discount.

I like the silent vote method with a little input from the GM.
I'm hoping that the GM with a little prodding will say something like "this is a season two game and you have a well balanced group. Since you are right in the middle you guys can go either way."

Then take a silent vote and go from there.

Players can get far further behind if they die playing up. Gold or prestige cost is very expensive, especially in the mid character levels.

(and a character ender at lower levels of course.)

I've seen it mixed about 50/50 on challenge vs. greed on why folks play up.

What about pulling out spell components? Is this a standard action too?

Great, thanks again.

How about a P.S. question. Can only a Ioun stone in good condition be placed in a Wayfinder? One player said he remembered reading some where that cracked Ioun stoned can't be added to a Wayfinder but we couldn't find a source.

Thank you for the responses. Not going to spend 30k on it then, nice not not that nice.

Was about to spend 30k on Orange Ioun Stone that says it adds plus one castor level. Our GM felt that it only adds one level to your castor level, for spells being cast. For example a 9th level wizard now does 10 dice of damage.

So before spending my gold he said bring it to the message board.

My thought is that the stone would allow that same 9th level wizard to memorize the extra spells that a 10th level wizard could cast vs. a 9th.
(In this case an extra 4th and 5th level spell slot per day.)
And would count as a level higher for effects and spell duration,spell penetration, etc.

Which way should we go?

I can't find errata on this one. Do PFS characters get dogs or riding dogs when casting this spell? I've seen both listed in books at our table.

But magic missle doesn't round down, as an example.

Does a 5th Cleric do 2 dice or 3 dice to non-undead targets?

Not sure if the 3rd die would start at 5th or 6th level.

Thanks!

Mike

Thanks for the ideas so far. I was wondering, how do the Ki pools stack?

Has anyone developed a neat combo or have an idea for one?

I'd like to toss around some ideas. Thanks all.

Would it be possible in PFS to pay 150.00 gold for a 2nd level scroll and then scribe it into my Wizard's spell book? My guess is that I would have to still pay the scribe cost and make a spell craft roll.

What is the cost for my Ninja or Alchemist to craft poison?
Book cost or 1/2 of book cost? Thanks!

Hmmm, so If I run We be Goblins three times I can start a new PFS character at 2nd level? Or would that be three expo spread between three characters?

Also if I play in the module and then run it do I get any "in game" bonuses? Thanks all!

One thought in our group was since they were considered Outsiders they can't be enlarged. Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks for all your help. I thought he was wrong too but he seemed so sure of the rule. I bet your right about shield spell vs shield of Faith.

Had a local Pathfinder DM last weekend say no...
