That's actually a link to the old wiki the new address is www.pathfinderwiki.com the article you linked to has 6 more languages in the currect version, and is only one offshoot of the Languages of Golarion page
also (spoiler for PFS players) Spoiler:
The Midnight Mauler PFS scenario includes a chase
I think the fluff material in the back is much better than crunch. I have much more use for the fluff, writing articles for the wiki, writing backgrounds for characters, figuring out how NPC X would act in this situation.... the only time I read crunchy articles is when im running that particular adventure. (And im only on book 3 of my first ap even though im a charter superscriber) . That being said I would like the back matter of APs advertized more. We knew about the stronghold buikding article in ap 3 before AP 1 came out... but I feel that after legacy of fire, the only backmatter articles thatb were really talked about were the kingdom building rules and the diety articles. Carion crwon I still don't know the back matter in some of them.. and they've been out for up to a year now..
I have used the Apple barrel (75 cents each at craft stores) paints for large areas. I usually switch to minis paint for the small details. as stated above, these make longer drying times, but I've made use of that sometimes... I've been experimenting with using a strip of an old tee shirt and pressing it into the paint when it is semi dry to create a texture on various pieces of clothes. It sometimes works, and sometimes doesn't.
Well, other than the obvious RP issues....I mean, tieflings are part devils, with horns and a tail! Aasimar have the other problem: remarkably good looking angelic woman (or man)? Yeah, as a GM I would make that player have to beat suitors off with a stick occasionally. Tieflings in Golarion don't need to have horns and a tale. In fact Radovan, the most famous of Golarion's tieflings, doesn't have either. I have a purple skinned tiefling with yellow eyes (if only it helped his stealth, which he always fails by 1 )
We are looking at the modules (not scenarios), but we don't have a long enough time block to run them. Modules take as long as 3-4 PFS scenarios. BUT they don't need to be run all at once. You could schedule one group to be together for the next 3-4 weeks to do a module, and it would be perfectly fine. (I havn't looked into the module rules enough to see how your con would affect this though, you may want to wait until after the con)
Kor I'd include : Blackjackthe queen sabine carrion golems reefclaws possibly trina (she shows up at least 3 times) imp/psudodragon (if they could be in battle combined in one sculpt, that would be awesome) sable company marine (on hippogriff) Possibly a shoanti or two otygughs
From the SRD:
so you channel, you have one choice cause damage or heal. the "to undead" and "living" aren't actually part of the choice, its a description of the type of energy (and a good example of why passive voice is frowned upon if I understand correctly). It is a burst effect, so hits everything in the radius of the channel. If the person chooses to heal with positive energy, and the things in the burst are of types that healing positive energy effects (the "living" descriptor) you are healed. If you are not the type healing positive energy heals (undead or NEA) you are hit by the burst, but it doesn't effect you. The opposite happens for harm in relation to the descriptors. But everyone is hit by every burst unless you you are specifically excluded via selective channeling.
Would be nifty to see Bestiary entiries on pathfinderwiki.com. Not the whole write up but just Golarion specific flavour. Or a Paizo blog or 2 with Golarion creature fluff. Tom, we've been working on it, see the Creatures by CR page. Click on any of those and you'll see the information that has been input for them. Unfortunately we're still a smaller subgroup of the posters to the boards. So many of the creatures only have the info box right now, as no one has had time to do a detailed writeup. But that's also the glory of a wiki, anyone can help out!
If this happens, could you at least add a picture? Walls of text don't keep my attention as much anymore
This may help a bi... has a bit more info than your looking for, and most likely isn't complete at this time.
I would say this would apply "Challenging a foe requires much of the cavalier's concentration. The cavalier takes a –2 penalty to his Armor Class, except against attacks made by the target of his challenge." If nothing else the -2 to AC would stack, so challenging 3 people would make a -6 to anyone else who joins the battle. I would table rule that it wasn't allowed, because of the concentration needed.
Read... stay 2 books ahead so that the harrow readings can accurately foreshadow things. If you plan to run as many harrow readings as mentioned, pick up the harrow deck. The tactile props make it seem real and bring the world to the players instead of making you bring the players into the world. If you don't feel comfortable making up a reading off the cuff, stack the deck and write it up beforehand. Don't be afraid to let the PCs go off the track... Spoiler:
It took almost 3 game sessions of the PCs scouting Lamm's hideout before my group even went inside. One of the biggest complaints about edge of anarchy is that the PCs were expecting Lamm to be a typical BBEG, and he's one quick encounter. After that, some more headstrong PCs may not have a reason to stick together. Just be aware of this, and watch for plot twists that the group hands you. Don't be afraid to take notes at the table if needed Lastly, don't be afraid to make a table ruling that you may need to look up after the session ends, if you feel that the flow of the story would suffer from the arguement
I'm also interested in playing some Pathfinder. I'm in the Boston College area, but Cambridge is just a bus ride away. I've played and GMed 3.5 back in the day, so Pathfinder shouldn't be too much of a stretch. You also might want to Don Walker, the Venture Captain for Pathfinder Society Organized play in the Boston area... I'll shoot him a private message to point him to this thread.
Chris Mortika - your right, I misread Eric's post and thought he talking about season 0s only having 1 faction mission. I apologize. Although, I'll also point out that we had a PC get 0 PP this weekend in a scenario thats only 2 months old (but he didn't get XP either dying in the second encounter far from town will do that to you... at least he had the PP for a raise)
No one has even mentioned the fact that two (plus some 0) seasons worth of scenarios that even one PP is not guaranteed. I've only run 17 sessions so far, and I've had several players not get any PP in scenarios. Sure its not as likely that they'll fail both missions, but it is a possibility, so I don't see a gain of 4 pa without having to worry about the faction missions as a bad thing. As of guide to organized play version 4.0 players would get 1 pp for completeling the pathfinder mission and one for the faction mission.
C'mon Kyle, no love for Assent ion of the Drow? I've had more stories retold from that than the other two combined. It would be cool for something like that again and have it change something in the world 6 months down the line in a chronicles book.. even if it is set in the past, That way the chronicle of it would be for your character finding the journal
White speckled dragons (AP #4) You know... something that rarely gets mentioned is the harmless creatures... What pacifists of creatures are there that should never get stat blocks... encountering some of these fantastical creates early always helped new players learn that not everything non human you meet is "I see a weird thing in front of me- I draw my sword initiative is _"
To Answer I would need to know what part of Golarion you are asking about. In the lands of the linorum kings, people bathes yearly I think (brought up in winter witch), some places bathe regularly, others use incense to cover their odors (in one of the Jaggare/Radovan stories- I think it was prince of wolves meeting the nobility). Dress and food vary according to the environment and flora/fauna native to the area. If you pick up a book and look at the taverns, many describe and food and drink only native to the area. For dress, again, I would find books that deal with that area, and look at the pictures.. Remember Golarion is much like earth, people in the Middle East don't dress/smell/eat the same way as natives to the Americas, China or Europe, neither do people from Qadira dress/smell/eat the same as people from Arcadia, the Dragon Kingdoms or the Inner Sea
It depends on your group... I have a CotCT group who is almost 5 game years into the story and just starting the third book. They took days scouting out locations first before going in (over 2 months for lamm's place). Almost every AP is designed in a way that you can have months or years between parts. (again the above CotCT) I put a year and a half between the first and second books.
Play whatever you want is the correct answer our first path to twelve had lots of clerics and fighters, only one arcane caster no skill monkeys... our second group had one arcane caster no clerics lots of skill monkeys/classes that were from APG/complete books As long as everyone goes in knowing thier roles, is all good
I agree... it would make certain plotlines easier to implement in more than one book if the GM is smart
I would say its was her onus to roleplay the blackblade, but I would hold the right to interject some information if it benefited the group/story and fit what the blade would know.
Staples should have that text in their worldwide database too
Yeah, they are pretty notorious for only preordering what was ordered in the first few days, and then scrambling for stock to cover the orders made after that. They usually fill everything, but they're a month behind.
I'm pulling from the AP fiction here, so I may miss some things that have stats elsewhere: I'd like to know about the background of The Happy Fellow legend (A History of Ashes, p. 77) even though he's supposed to be an elf... Nifran from the LoF fiction (couldn't tell is this was a slur, a race, or a animal/creature from the usage, and the wiki didn't have anything on it) Escape from Old Korvosa art on 59 (only art in first 2 APs I can't place) Zhen worm Campaign Setting, p. 215 (I know not much of a threat, but maybe a hazard?).
Can someone tell me which book the hag from card #49 is? according to This post #49 is Malatrothe from PF11 p30
Lisa and Erik and Vic have already posted on how they can't be new sculpts.So I'm leaving this one alone *ugly red (??) gargoyle yup, perfect to be used as a devil or a tiefling.... or other outsiders..or The bat god Camazotz plenty of other uses beyond 'red gargoyle' *I already have most of the H&M PF minis ok... does this invalidate that there are many people who refuse to buy blind packs, and this way they can get that person's money as well as yours? Or that the Succubus and Zombie repaints look better to me that the H&M originals? *VERY plain "evil" cleric. Swap the symbol for a skull plz. But not all evil clerics deal with skulls, Ydersius (maybe, he is headless after all),Kabriri's unholy symbol is a maggot-filled bowl made from a human skull. that's it out of the CE gods... I'm at work so can't look at the other gods... but it only fits the profile of about 10% of the evil gods for a cleric to be carrying a skull, where every cleric needs a holy or unholy symbol to use channeling.
Again, just because you have tons of them, does not mean that the 25+ people on the product thread that say they refused to buy DDM or other prepainted minis, but bought H&M because of trust that paizo would do it right don't have tons of zombies and gargoyles... Their money is just as good as yours. also: how can you list this as both positive and negative?
It really depends on your DM and your fellow players how difficult the games are. There are some scenarios that are on the board with a killer reputation, that I went into with 2-3 clerics, and because it was undead-heavy, we took maybe one hit as a party.... the clerics were out of channels by the end though.
For the gnome you could worship the 'idea' of that god w/o ever specifically naming the god getting around what every rules allowing for deity worship with your GMs approval. In PFS you must choose a god as a cleric (Clerics in Golarion get their powers from gods, godless divine spellcasters are all oracles)
But the fact that the larger set may force larger than one figure per pack, who knows that final cost?
The APs seem to have a 2-3 month (possibly 4) lead time between the time they are passed off to the printer and the time they are shipped to subscribers. This means that when you have volume 1 in your hand, Paizo still may not have gotten the final version of volume 6 back from the author yet. Considering that the master paints for the minis comping out in 6 months are already out (and from these blog posts it sounds like they've been working on them for 2-3 months already) So with this evidence it seems a minis set needs to be started up to 3 months before the last volume of the AP is finalized.
Wizkids (via Paizo) was very upront from the announcement of H&M about sprinkling in non-random sets between set releases. and they've been doing it for heroclix for over a year
haha I know it... I was mostly just busting on nosig's comment. the level 9 ranger is a ranged ranger, so he's only been healed 3 times.. only been below 1/2 hit points 4 times (and one of those was from another PC who went crazy and brought me from full to 0 in one hit) and he went 3 levels without getting a hit against him at all due to fact that I grouped with melees who's Attack of Opportunities hurt(read: the fighter who makes GMs cry) .
well... this reasoning would lead to a banning of wands of CLW bought with PP and the selection of traits that give UMD as a class skill. A number of persons on this board suggest that one or both of these are required for all characters (not just multi-class casters). I don't understand. I have 3 perfectly viable characters above level 5, and none have spent a single PP, or bought a wand of CLW... in fact the level 10 only bought 3 potions of CLW at level 1, he finally used them on his third scenario as level 9 to save someone else. None of these charaters even considered getting UMD traits, they are vastly underpowered compared to other options
Yup, red flags of a virus If you have access to another computer and a flash drive/usb drive I would download malware bytes or a similar cleaner and use the USB to clean install it. *NOTE* if you do this make sure you run the cleaner on the USB drive as well - many of these viruses like to jump to different machines through the USB drives
It mentions lessons in bladework and callisthenics daily, but I have more questions. I'm assuming that it teaches philosophy, political and economic theory, perhaps the natural sciences, that sort of thing. Well the wiki says that Jalus Ebincott is the Professor of Mwangi Studies there (From Vaults of Madness, p. 60) But that is the only other reference I can find right now. I'll try to do a PDF search when I get home to see if there are any other references.
