they wouldn't dare
they know what she can do
they've seen her spells
they know her lantern archon likes her
they know the lantern archon will hurt them

I hope

You say that like it is a bad thing. ;D

Though I do realize that pulling off that syle actually requires more magic gear, not less - and I understand that your character is in extreme danger in the short term, and my be perminently gimped in the long term.

my fellow players were quick to gather around her somehow... pervs!

nothing to do with the circle of protection vs evil she has from being a Celestial Mystic, I'm sure.

Ack! Sorry to hear that, and from hearing about all the equipment she lost sounds like she is mid to high level... a point where you're better off dead than naked, your performance permanently lags behind the rest of the party. =(

Does she have item creation feats? That would help her recover faster at least partially if she manages to get her party mates to chip in whatever they can spare.

No creation feats in the party. We have some spare items, but all minor stuff I think but I expect some heavy fighting real soon... yaiks. Ah well, I'll just be a very careful sorcerer this time.

I am sorry. Try to console yourself by creating a great character next time.

I tell you, these stories about black oozes and gelatinous cubes makes me want to pull out my old Forgotten Realms 3.0 campaign setting and create a cleric with the Slime domain so that I can turn oozes. Or better still, I'll make an EVIL cleric who can rebuke them, and have them attack my enemies!

I actually think she's already great :)

too bad she's in her undies now.. :s

Slight spoilers ahead for City of the Spider Queen.

So my party is doing fine so far. My character (Sor8/Celestial Mystic 4, she's lovely and has a Lantern Archon as a familiar) is really fun to play and does fine in combat.
As we walk into this room (temple) the archon Detects Evil and notices 3 glows in the ceiling. We walk into the room (while I keep an eye on the ceiling) and halfway there it all goes pear shaped.

I succeed on saving throw (vampire? mind-flayer? someone's probing!) while our druid fails and stands still. A vampire appears, the webs on the ceiling move apart and a black ooze falls right on top of me (I forgot to ask where the cracks in the ceiling were so I could NOT stand beneath them.. major error apparently).
I cast Wings of Cover (although I wasn't actually allowed since it was a suprise round... according to the DM) so the slam attack didn't work but I ended up engulfed by it anyway and rolled badly on the initiative roll. Next round 75% of my gear (cloak of charisma +2, Robe of Mysterious Conjuration (10k!!), vest of resistance +3, ring of true seeing (not my own!) and ring of feather falling) is gone.

I cast Baleful Transposition with the pudding and our monk switching positions, move back between my allies.

Then of course a undead drider falls on my head.

How much can a lawful good woman (I'm male, help me out) devoted to the teachings of Celestia take?
It feels extra bad because we might have messed up some rules but I don't think we'll undo anything (undo sucks.. how tempting it may sound though I'm not going to ask for it). Next time we'll continue and I'll have to think of a way to keep playing my character without her dieing.

I need a shoulder to cry on!

ah yes but getting my hands on a Dungeon #1 would be a bit too much hassle for this purpose. Got plenty of easier tips here, thanks though!

thanks a lot guys! I will look into all of that (if possible of course).
That specific list is awesome.

Do you have the 2nd Edition adventure, Reverse Dungeon? That would be a good resource as well.

no, never heard of it but it sounds like it makes sense.

Will look into that too, tnx!

I'm unclear why the linked thread is relevant as I don't see any discussion about goblins on it.

In any case the only adventure I can think of off hand is Monster Quest from issue #10 (an excellent issue IMO).

Well I was hoping there would be a reference to monster campaigns in Dungeon magazines in that list but I just checked and there isn't.

But thanks for your tip, I'll check it out!

Bit late to join but at least on-topic:

There's been quite an overwhelming amount of reasons why the Paladin was out of line.

Personally what I thought first was: "Where's the 'Good' part of that Paladin?"

I'd say punish him! Normally I'm quite lenient but he's taking the cake.

oh oops, I just noticed this thread and I actually have that last Dungeon (with a thematic list) I think. Hopefully I can find something useful in that list.
All input is welcome though :)

Hey all,

At the moment I'm trying to prepare a campaign for a goblin party. Starting out at a small scale, the players are worthless commoners and use the first session to "become" a somebody with a "job" that's more than standing guard all day, fish or shovel excess muck around (just muck is okay, it's just when it runs knee-deep in your lair you need some lowlife to shovel some of it out, right? Them small ones might drown...).

I'd like the party to slowly get more responsabilities in the tribe and get to explore the surroundings. I already have some ideas for the first few quests but like to keep it a bit freeform/roam-around.

So: Are there any Dungeon (or maybe Dragon?) Magazines I definately need to get a look at or which might contain anything relevant in this case? I've tried browsing through some of them and did a search on the forums here but didn't find anything.

Fighter it is...
say what?
oh...

uhhh yeah lifting swords... so overrated

I think I'll use this method in the next campaign I'm DM'ing...

woah, this mouse sure feels heavy...

STR 3
DEX 16
CON 10
INT 12
WIS 12
CHA 11

Many thanks for your answers. Much is clearer now. I'll have a look at those free downloads (I think I might actually have downloaded something already... once).
Thanks again.

thanks for the explanations. I've already read large parts (first 12 pages and the last few) of the thread about "pdfgate". Although I'm not really blaming WotC (at least not until we hear some more about this, which will surely happen I guess) I do think it's time to get it all clear.

So what do the different Pathfinder products entail, how large are they and how often are they released?

Can you give an example of what kind of conversion is needed when you use 3.5 and Pathfinder? I know it's supposed to be little but I haven't read about any examples.

What about the Kobolt Quarterly?

Hello all here at Paizo messageboards,

As the subject of this post states: I'm confused.
I started playing AD&D (for a few years) and moved on to 3.x (also a few years). No problems there.
Then (when I was about to enter the life of the paid (aka post-university aka got-money-for-magazines-like-Dragon-and-Dungeon-which-I-like-a-lot) the game changed:

• No more Dungeon magazine and Dragon magazine
  
• The WotC forums changed (Gleemax wot?)
  
• I read about a Digital Initiative thingymajingy which I still don't understand fully
  
• A company that made the magazines wanted to carry on doing something comparable (sounded cool, they offered a free download so I registered) and they release a nice newsletter in which they started to mention Pathfinder which has a few other options (companion, etc) which aren't entirely clear to me.
  
• I don't like 4e
  
• On a blog I saw a post on "LAST POSSIBILITY TO DOWNLOAD", I followed the link, noticed there were all kinds of cool pdf's to download and noticed they weren't there anymore to download... I was late in several ways. Only (mostly) got myself to blame there. Anyway I'm kind of convinced that I have to switch (SWITCH!) but I don't know where to.
  

I understand asking here (3.5 forum on Paizo) at least should give some different opinions, hopefull it's okay I ask them here. I like the 3.5 system and I like Paizo. What has been released so far isn't the new Pathfinder RPG (this I understand)but what is it? And when will the new released stuff be non-3.5 (but still compatible?).

What will I be playing?

I hope I'm not asking for too much information, I've just been hoarding these questions and think it's about time I ask them. Hopefully some of you can help me out.
