I have a new question since no one seems to be able to answer the last question. In a Fighters weapon training, where does the Light pick and the heavy pick go in categories the fighter can train in? There is no listing of the weapon in any of the lists. If there is a listing for these weapons can anyone give the source?

Axes: battleaxe, dwarven waraxe, greataxe, handaxe, heavy pick, light pick, orc double axe, and throwing axe.

The corrected file for this product has been sent to Paizo and should be in place soon.

Thanks,

I would tend to go with the stacking rule on that but you could make a 2nd hand of glory slotless (x2 cost).

Krum of the Wind Clan would be my choice, I have not played a barbarian in years and the shoanti bring back many memories of the RotR AP, which was excellent.

I will be running RotR soon and was wondering if any kind person out there can tell me if all the monsters the AP are in the Bestiary?

mine is on hold pending the Pathfinder society book. :/

Thanks

Hi folks I'm living in Germany and just stumbled over the really fantastic Pathfinder series. I already bought the first issue some weeks ago, but now I found out that issues #2-#5 re not available in Germany any more.
Is there a planned reprint of those issues or did I miss my chance to collect this adventure path as print versions?

Thanks for your help

I would allow them on first go. First they eat up a lot of feats to collect them, and generally the benefits simply aren't as good as spells available at the same level (I know Kirth NOTHING is we'll just have to live).

Generally I don't see anyone but a fighter or cleric really looking at them seriously, and the cleric will have to wait longer to get them all and still has better uses for his feats.

HAs anyone used these feats in a game?
They seem a tad powerful to me, but I am looking for someone with experience with them.

Thanks

Is it shipping now!...ok how about... NOW!
I can't wait! :)

So, in essence, all your casters are spontaneous?

In addition, your wizards have infinite spellbooks, and your sorcerers know every spell by heart? Because to me, this removes a large part of the reasoning to pick wizard ofer sorcerer- The sorcerer gets more spells per day, of a limited choice. Unless you are specifically reffering to only 'spells prepared per day.'

In which case it would expand the versatility of the wizard well past the sorcerer equivalent, since sorcerers would be the only class to have a limited number of spells to choose from (within their class list, that is).

Could you clarify how exactly your houserule works in relation to sorcerers and wizards? Because from what it sounds like, your houserule would blend the classes a little too much.

Today my player asked my if he could change a wizard Arcane Bond into a additional feat. I asked him why he would do that, the arcane bond is like wizard trade mark and its natural that you would like to have it. Then he said that the familiar is a useless , pain in the but type of creature and the bonded item is an major flaw and a excuse for the DM to take away or tramp his casters ability. When I said no he declared killing his familiar. Did you guys experience this kind of behaviour from you wizards?

It seems that the old method was a bit easier, but maybe not...now, there is no cross-reference of character level, simply the XP budget/CRs and then you hand out a number depending on the # of players in the group. I like it - it seems that with the higher XP required it takes longer to level, which seems to balance out the higher-powered nature of the classes. Is this a correct assessment? What do others think of the new XP system?

Pathfinder #26 does indeed assume you have the Bestiary for several of the monsters. We were hoping to get the Bestiary out before Pathfinder #26 hit, but it looks like that's not gonna be the case.

For Pathfinder #25, we did a preview of the bestiary that had all of the necessary monsters in it. I'll chat with the other folks here at the office to see if we can get a second preview for all the monsters in Pathfinder #26 up and online soon. No promises, but it sure would be nice!

I'm with Dracon on this. When you metamagically change a cantrip, it's no longer a "cantrip" but a spell.

Finally someone praising the loss of heavy armor prof.

I said "amen!" when I saw that. Why? because now clerics do look like a little more like clerics of varied gods than the christian middle age war priests! That was the image of AD&D, with only blunt weapons and such. And to think about it, most clerics of other cultures, when they used armor, it was never the heaviest kind of armor possible in that culture.

Praise the medium armor prof. And if you want tanker cleric just buy it with a feat! There aren't really many feats that a cleric needs to be a total baddass (the class still overpowrs non-casters a lot), and you can burn a feat in this anyway.

it's even better in my games, because we use Class Defense bonuses instead of armor defense bonus. So they know medium armor and have less defense than the fighter or paladin. Glorious.

Actually, you don't check against -10 but against the negative of the troll's Constitution value. Otherwise, I think, you explained it exactly right.

Hey guys.

I bought the PRPG from Amazon.com and have noticed that about 15 or so pages are missing and there are about 15 repeats of pages from furthur on in the book in it's place.

This is quite disheartening because it was my first major purchase in a while due to my financial situation. (Early birthday present as it were.)

I was wondering what you guys could do to help?

Am I correct in saying that by the new rules a party could fight a troll (with a 15con) with normal weapons and beat it to -20 hp then apply a torch to it (for 1-6hp fire damage) and the troll would regenerate 5hp at the end of the round but be dead the next becasue the fire prevents it from regenerating and it is at -15 hp.

Is this correct?

Got mine yesterday!
It is a fantastic tome!

Take a
quick jaunt over to paizo.com and you’ll find not just our
free Council of Thieves Player’s Guide, but also a wealth of
additional details about Westcrown and its environs from
the city’s foremost architect, Steven Schend.

This is from Pathfinder #25, where can I find this info?

An all city game sounds great, I tried it in the past on my own with mixed success.

Thanks

I guess the old rule if it requires a to hit roll it gets no save is out for PFRPG.

That has never been a rule sir. You might want to take a look at chill touch, disintegrate, harm, inflict light wounds, plane shift, and ray of exhaustion. I am sure that I am leaving out a few, but this rule does not exist. I would say that most spells that require a to hit roll do not give a save, but it is by no means a rule.

I can't wait to see the book, so far every thing I have heard I like.
You have done fantastic work.

Hoping the changed Ray of Enfeeblement that now allows a save will be an auto hit.
Having to make a touch attack and allowing a save seems to weaken it too much.

The Thing

What a time saver.
THANKS!

#6 here

It is the one part of my subscriptions I can do with out.
Now a map foilo of cities you mentioned would interest me and I would buy it, as it is more useful then maps of past AP.

There will be a simple conversion guide from 3.5 to the Pathfinder RPG, but there will not be an exhaustive list of changes. With the number of changes that have been made, it simply would not be worth it. The conversion guide will cover all of the big picture issues.

An interesting rant from former WotC VP Ryan Dancey

Where, linky please

That would be great, it would hep me miss subtle changes.

FOr me gods and magic was a very helpful book.

Will there be any "list of changes" published so we can be made aware of any changes from Beta to the final Pathfinder RPG.
I remember the change between 3.o and 3.5 and there were some subtle changes that escaped my groups notice until some time after we had switched.

Thanks for all your creative influnce, you will be missed.

split the game community

...they were cutting large (important) pieces of my neck out. I haven’t been around much lately due to financipocalypse making work busier than ever for those of us left, but I thought I’d take a moment to stop by and say thank you to everyone.

I really appreciate all the patience, kind words, thoughts, and prayers sent in my direction last year during my cancer (and other) surgeries. Your time did not go unappreciated! Still not 100% who I used to be, but I’m alive and chugging right along, so good deal.

Best wishes.

My 3.5 gamers all agreed to try and now switch to Pathfinder, even the one who was adverse to 3.5 (because of cost), I think he supports it because he only needs one book and can keep using all the other books he has purchased.

I kind of thought that also but was hoping it was a sign of a change.
Thanks for the comments.

In the PDF under Magic traits Focused Mind gives a bonus to concentration.
Any chance this means concentration will return as it's own skill?

Thanks for the Free PDF!
You guys are the best.

In it on page 7 it says a free PDF of Pathfinder traits is available at Paizo.com, but look as I may I cannot find it.
Anyone locate this?

Still waiting for "Good things" to happen. :/

I love psionics.
I am playing a Egoist in a Shackled City game and am running a Dark Sun game (which is filled with psionics).
Backward compatability is a must, but I think the system is great as it stands (better, IMHO, then the regular magic system. The augment idea makes powers scale with level but at a higher cost (unlike magic where fireballs are all 3rd level slots no matter if they do 5d6 or 10d6).
So overall I would like to see the system stay much the same but with the Pathfinder/Paizo updates and tweaks.

Thaks again for including us all in the games development.

I would scribe and would love to see a Psionic book.

Were there ever any other maneuvers or stances published other then the ones in the book?

Exactly what I've done. Spellcraft was merged with Knowledge (Religion) and Knowledge (Arcana), Autohypnosis was thrown in with Concentration, and Martial Lore was merged with Knowledge (History).

Concentration needs to stay a specific skill, in part because an INT based skill favors wizards over other casters, and because several other classes rely upon Concentration (psionic characters and martial adepts among them).

There was a lot of discussion on this during the Alpha, but since the Beta it's been mostly silent. Jason seems intent on Spellcraft for reasons I can't begin to fathom, though...

What manoeuvres need a Concentration check?

I have enjoyed the Gord books and the 1st book in Planet Stories (The Anibus Murders) and in in the middle of the 2nd book.
I must say it started slow but I was soon imersed in the books and enjoy them greatly. I can't wait to read the other 2.
But everyone's tastes are different, for me they are well worth the money.
