good thing is that as he is no longer your longer your minion, he goes back to his own init (I think)... which is before yours, but also before Branahms, so you get to act first... just remember you also have the construct in melee range

Hey! no fair, you could have used more than one submission for your tips!

If you make them roll both at the same time, note which dice they use as their primary, and then at random times during the adventure tell them they are feeling unlucky and have to roll both.... but disreguard the second one... I had the person I ran through the chapel pulling up floorboards and ransacking rooms, leaving items on the ground, looking for "the little menace that keeps making me roll again"

I have to agree. I own a bunch of crocidile minis, and frankly I cant see a subscription to miniature line as a good thing. There are some I want multiples of, some I may not want at all or use.

You mean your shift in the personas section of the companions to be player oriented, not the companion, the whole reason I subscribed from the very get go (as soon as they were announced) with companions was that they were advertised as spoiler free player friendly material fleshing out the world of Golarion. That was how they were advertised from day one. Which started with the second darkness player guide.

So I guess CoT volume 3 is going to ship in December after all?

Agreed, but I suspect the bone snakes are constructs. They seem suspiciously like necrophidiuses from the old Fiend Folio, and if so, will be constructs without a vulnerability to channelling.

At least if you join a college fraternity you only have to scrub the toilets for a year and then it's all hookers and blow. This is years before you can go out and do anything and the trade-off, in Lodge support and so on, doesn't seem big enough to me, plus although the library would obviously be great for research there are going to be other places to research (and magic, of course, helps with that too).

Oh crap, this could be bad... and you with no Selective Channeling...

Cap, did that channel just convert our owlbear to a foe? Arius may be about to have a lesson in the dangers of necromancy.

"Note: The PDF for Pathfinder Roleplaying Game GM Screen (OGL) Print Edition will not be available until December 9."

I've just been able to download it – is that a mistake in the e-mail I got or in the download options? Or am I misunderstanding something?

I wasn't able to find it elsewhere on the site or messageboards, and admittedly, my knowledge of such things are limited. Is Paizo a publicly traded company, ie, something in which I can invest money into stocks or similar options? I know I would be willing to buy a few shares, I am sure many others would too, but cant seem to find out if it is even a possibility. Would hate to miss out on a high-growth company :)

Huh. I'm suddenly feeling an unaccountable urge to buy a bunch of these new minis.

TheGazeteer is a basic overview. A more in depth overview is in the Campaign Setting You also might want to check out the wiki for some easy to search ideas

Yeah, I saw that other post, but it just said it was being pushed back a week, not when that would mean it would actually be available. So, there is no official firm release date then?

Thanks for your help!

my cliche that gets under my skin, but I have to accept - human-centric worlds. My view is that if I wanted to play a human, or run for a bunch of humans, I would play D20 modern or WOD... but like I said, I've learned to accept it. I would love for a country/continent/planet/island where some evil thing just didn't like humans and killed them indiscriminately until there were none left. maybe its just those that I game with, but I find that especially for beginning players, human-centric games make it harder to keep in character knowledge separate from out of character knowledge

I'm going to be running Pathfinder Society at my store in Philadelphia soon, and I was curious when we should expect the 2.1 rules update? I have quite a few players interested in playing oracles or cavaliers and I wasn't sure if they were legal immediately or if we had to wait for the 2.1 rules. We're running our first games this Saturday and wasn't sure if there was a chance the rules might be out before then, though I realize Paizo may want to wait until all six playtest classes have been released before opening the classes up for organized play.

Also, on a similar note, is the Bestiary going to make it into the 2.1 update? I have a lot of players who want to play kobolds or orcs or whathaveyou, and there's currently no mention of the Bestiary in the rules. Will we see monstrous PCs opened up for PFS play, or does that contradict the way Golarion works?

Thanks!

That said, we do prefer to show painted images wherever possible, because the all-silver unpainted figures generally don't show their detail very well in color photographs.

Are there any hints in Escape from Old Korvosa that I missed? As far as I can tell the party will wander into the dungeon pretty clueless and get jumped by not just a Rakshasa but one with levels of monk. In this situation there is no prep and one cannot really retreat well to get prepped and come back.

Also as a side item. Clerics in the PFRPG do not have a single SR ignoring spell to throw at a Rakshasa. All they can do is align weapons if they have the spell handy, or summon meatshields of Summon Monster. Since Rakshasas do not have spellcraft but can read minds I would expect one in battle to throw a magic missle spell at any caster trying to summon allies with full round casting spells.

There are lots of rumours surrounding the Arkonas that hint that they're not what they seem (especially in the Guide to Korvosa). Certainly my players had worked it out and prepped for Rakshashas.

Josh was out sick at the end of last week, so he may be a bit off schedule.

I like what you did there, my players too figure it out the moment he asked they escort that blond girl (I cant remember her name), actualy it is now a running joke on the table to ask "are you blackjack"

Is this second printing any different from the first one?

The first round of errata is incorporated into the second printing, but those are pretty minor changes; the overall book looks exactly the same.

Is there a trade-in value of first to second printing - to get the errata...? :-)

Is there a list of said errata that I can just print out and loose-leaf it into my copy of the book?

Thanks

Hi all,
I signed up for PFS at GenCon and I'm trying to register. I have my PFS number, but not my confirmation number.

What can I do? I don't want to lose this character that I'm playing and I want to be able to track his progress on the site, make sure everything gets reported.

Any help would be great, thank you.

I haven't had a chance to read all the way through the adventure path, so I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions about (a) who could be responsible for creating a Lamm simulacrum, and (b) where/when Lamm might turn up later in the game.

also if anyone too the addict trait

Another Florida resident feels your pain.

Are you implying that the Campaign Setting book doesn't have a timeline?!? I have a feeling that's not what you mean.

We only have a few pathfinder players as-is who attend, and they often walk away because their table doesn't get enough players. I can't schedule older modules (season zero) because the veteran players have already played them at conventions,

I'm trying to organize the schedule for next year's monthly game days. We only have a few pathfinder players as-is who attend, and they often walk away because their table doesn't get enough players. I can't schedule older modules (season zero) because the veteran players have already played them at conventions, and it is really hard to 'build up steam' for new players if they only get to play one scenario per month (since Paizo releases one low level and one high level per month). Extra releases in only June and August doesn't help.

Is anyone else running organized play for Pathfinder?

-Perry

Usually we try to run one new senario and one old senario per month.with a group of 15-18 players, mostly that's 3 tables... at this point, soon the higher people will be making a second character to be able to run the new low level senarios when we run them new, but that's ok, as that mean they (who know the rules better/have been playing longer) can help the newbies out in strategy and character creation/optimization. It also means that they can try a different faction in the shadow war, which is fun.

I'm saying goodbye to internet service later this month, thanks for the game!

If the actual shipping cost (not including your countries fees) would be cheaper as more than one package, then the code automatically splits them up to save you on shipping (international shipping is based on wieght, I beleive anything over 4 pounds is cheaper to split than to ship alone due to increased shipping fees.

Will PFS GMs need to buy the APG, or is that something that players should expect to bring to the table if they want to use?

Well, that explains Cap's laughing.

That is the thing, though, it is the Lycanthrope that is weak against silver. Not the weapon that is better than the other. I honestly also think that 3.5 and than Pathfinder went further away from the "old timer" gaming, by making it easier to overcome all DR easily.

In "old timer" gaming, the werewolf could be hit by silver or +2 weapons, couldn't it?

Wow! Thanks Gary and Ross! looks like this will solve a bunch of the issues people had with the bestiary shipments!

Just in case anyone isn't aware of it, the PathfinderWiki is a comprehensive, flavor-only resource that anyone can edit. We also have a strict citation policy, so any information added should be linked back to the product in question, addressing the above concern. It seems like a great fit for those who want the focus on the flavor of a monster in Golarion instead of its generic stats that are the same everywhere.

You easily track the blood straight up to the room you fought the first derro in. From the blood it appears he paused here before climbing the stairs and leaving the burial mound.

From here on out some of the rooms have different reaction times depending on where you enter them from. so let me know which path/door your taking to get the rooms

Not sure if this is the right forum, so I apologize if I'm posting in the right spot..

I found the Pathfinder official wiki, and there seems to be some great information on there, but every time I go to the web page it freezes up within a few minutes and locks down IE.

I tried fromthree different computers now, and on each one the web site eventually locked up, usually after only a few minutes.

I'm just curious if everyone has this problem or just me?

Also did you make an account on the wiki? If you make an account it blocks many of the flash adds that show up for non-members, it may be these adds that are freezing your seassion.

So, anyone have a guess as to what spell is being cast in the picture from the latest blog post?

Will Planet Stories ever adopt an ebook format? I'm not talking PDFs here like the Pathfinder stuff, but legitimate ebook distribution.

'Saright. But if you're bogged down for an extended period, please put a note up on the OOC thread.

My answer - which is no where near official, is that insects are much more mysterious than say, reptiles.

So, was the shipping date of late Oct to early Nov still accurate?

I'm still eagerly awaiting my PFRPG from Amazon, from 7 weeks of waiting. And I've already received my copy of the beastiary, which was ordered 4 weeks ago.

While I agree with your suggestion, and have made it myself, I won't report pregen players as playing their own PC unless the Guide to PFS says it's expressly legal.

I'd actually like a daily desk calendar. I'd easily buy this every year (even knowing that half or more would be art from the previous year).

I'm curious if anyone has any ideas on how to convey this? Obviously I can just tell them: "NPCs over 10th are rare, beyond 10th are exceptions to the rule. Keep in mind, though, power comes in many varieties of which "level" is one."

No, we're actually just concerned that the moon might explode in the 23rd century, and we're trying to get ahead of the game. (Or cash in on the disaster profits if it's unavoidable and there's money to be made.)

Also, I should clarify our R&D priorities: death rays before moon rays. As always.

In basic speak, point me to the place that explains how I can get past Planet Stories books as part of my ongoing subscription. Or, tell me that is not possible. If the later then I will just buy them outside of my subscription.
I understand the shopping cart concept. Still a little confused by the side cart concept. If that is how I can get past issues then I will figure it out.

Thanks,

Jim

If you buy the back issues separately, on the shipping method selection screen, you can choose to hold the items for your next subscription shipment. If you do this, the items will show in your sidecart until the time that your next subscription shipment ships, and your items will go out with the subscription.

so to summerize - you can make past books ship with subscription orders, but you still need to buy them separately, as paizo has no way of knowing if you had picked up the past books at barnes and nobel or something like that, so won't charge you for something you may already have.
