I love the Battles mini's but must admit that I dislike the fact that you must buy a case to be able to purchase the "extra". For the Monsters and Heroes it was not too bad since it was a "normal" set but it did irk me that to get a Dragon I needed to buy a case (way out of my budget range) or get it from a secondary market.
The RotR set this is compounded as I plan on running it but can only get the much needed Rune Giant by again buying a case or going to a secondary martket.
I was planning on buying singles and a few boxes as I cound afford them or need them while running the AP (I have many figs I need for it from buying Reaper ones over the years) for RotR so I don't need to purchase them all.
It just seems odd that Paizo/Wiz kids would make a needed mini for the AP an exclusive; I could see an exclusive for case buyers with a different unique paint but to make it a "needed" mini and so restricted seems to make us poorer games outcasts.

Just my 2 cents.

What ever became of the proposed changes to stealth?

Just wondering if the shippments for this month are back on schedule and when you might have them out?
I know the snow/ice shut you down for a week just trying to see where you stand now.
Thanks

Will the spell Death Ward protect one from the Implosion spell?
AImplosion is not a death sub-school but neither does it cause HP damage.

The picture in Bestiary 3 for the Allip matches the minature in Pathfinder Battles that is labeled as Spectre.
The picture from the Bonus Bestiary of the Allip is not used in the Bestiary 3
My question is-is the Minature Labeled wrong and should be an Allip or is the picture in the Bestiary 3 wrong and is actually a picture of a spectre?

Am I right to assume a gunslinger with gunsmithing does not make craft checks to make or repair ammo or firearms and the craft chart DC is for characters/npc who try to make guns using just craft(firearms).
I just want to confirm this as it seems gunsmithing feat is much better then any other craft related feat.
Did I miss errata?
Gunsmithing
You know the secrets of repairing and restoring firearms.
Benefit: If you have access to a gunsmith’s kit, you can
create and restore firearms, craft bullets, and mix black
powder for all types of firearms. {You do not need to make
a Craft check to create firearms and ammunition or to
restore firearms}.
Crafting Firearms: You can craft any early firearm for a
cost in raw materials equal to half the price of the firearm.
At your GM’s discretion, you can craft advanced firearms
for a cost in raw materials equal to half the price of the
firearm. Crafting a firearm in this way takes 1 day of
work for every 1,000 gp of the firearm’s price (minimum
1 day).
Crafting Ammunition: You can craft bullets, pellets, and
black powder for a cost in raw materials equal to 10% of the
price. If you have at least 1 rank in Craft (alchemy), you can
craft alchemical cartridges for a cost in raw materials equal
to half the price of the cartridge. At your GM’s discretion,
you can craft metal cartridges for a cost in raw materials
equal to half the cost of the cartridge. Crafting bullets,
black powder, or cartridges takes 1 day of work for every
1,000 gp of ammunition (minimum 1 day).
Restoring a Broken Firearm: Each day, with an hour’s worth
of work, you can use this feat to repair a single firearm
with the broken condition. You can take time during a rest
period to restore a broken firearm with this feat.
Special: If you are a gunslinger, this feat grants the
following additional benefit. You can use this feat to repair
and restore your initial, battered weapon. It costs 300 gp
and 1 day of work to upgrade it to a masterwork firearm of
its type.

Is there a spell in Pathfinder that replaces Panacena.
In 3.5 it was a nice higher level spell you could take to replace many low level ones that each removed different minor conditions.

Panacea (Spell)
Conjuration (Healing)
Level
Cleric 4, druid 5
Components
V, S
Casting Time
1 standard action
Range
Touch
Target
Creature touched
Duration
Instantaneous
Saving Throw
Will half (harmless), see text
Spell Resistance
Yes (harmless)
You kneel next to your afflicted comrade and speak the soft words of this spell. At your touch a golden radiance infuses your companion.

This spell channels positive energy into a creature to wipe away its afflictions. It immediately ends any of the following conditions affecting the subject: blinded, confused, dazed, dazzled, deafened, diseased, exhausted, fatigued, frightened, nauseated, panicked, paralyzed, shaken, sickened, and stunned. It negates sleep effects and the effect of the feeblemind spell, and ends any additional effects from poison, as the neutralize poison spell. It also cures 1d8 points of damage + 1 point per caster level (maximum +20).

Panacea does not remove ability damage, negative levels, or drained levels.

Used against an undead creature, panacea deals damage instead of curing the creature (which takes half damage You smell an otyugh swarm before you see it if it makes a Will saving throw), but it has no other effect.

In the Body thief it says:Damage done to a host body does not harm the intellect devourer, and if the host body is slain, the intellect devourer emerges and is dazed for 1 round.
So how many HP does a dead body have?

Body Thief (Su) As a full-round action that provokes an attack of opportunity, an intellect devourer can reduce its size, crawl into the mouth of a helpless or dead creature, and burrow into the victim's skull to devour its brain. This is a coup de grace attempt that inflicts 8d4+3d6+8 points of damage. If the victim is slain (or already dead), the intellect devourer usurps control of the body and may use it as its own, as if it controlled the target via a dominate monster spell. The intellect devourer has full access to all of the host's defensive and offensive abilities save for spellcasting and spell-like abilities (although the intellect devourer can still use its own spell-like abilities). A host body may not have been dead for longer than 1 day for this ability to function, and even successfully inhabited bodies decay to uselessness in 7 days (unless this time is extended via gentle repose). As long as the intellect devourer occupies the body, it knows (and can speak) the languages known by the victim and basic information about the victim's identity and personality, yet has none of the victim's specific memories or knowledge. Raise dead cannot restore a victim of body theft, but resurrection or more powerful magic can.

Sorry if this was covered elsewhere and I missed it but...
Ninj's can take Rogue talents in place of tricks so...can a Rogue take a ninja trick in place of a talent?

If yes where is it mentioned - thanks all

Crusader's Edge mentions that it was co-opted by inquisitors and rangers but it has no listed ranger spell level. I this an oversite or should Ranger be removed from the description?

Crusader’s Edge
School transmutation [good]; Level cleric 4, inquisitor 4, paladin 4
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S, M (dried blood from an evil outsider, sprinkled on the weapon)
Range touch
Target melee weapon touched
Duration 1 minute/level
Saving Throw Fortitude negates; Spell Resistance no
This spell was created by the paladins of the Mendevian Crusades, and co-opted by inquisitors and rangers dedicated to tracking and fighting demons, devils, and other evil extraplanar creatures.
When you cast this spell on a melee weapon you imbue it with a powerful holy energy, granting the weapon the bane weapon quality against evil outsiders. Furthermore, whenever you score a successful critical hit against an outsider with the evil subtype, you not only deal normal critical damage with the weapon but also nauseate the outsider for 1d3 rounds—the outsider can reduce this nauseated condition to sickened for 1 round with a successful Fortitude save.

Usally by late Wednesday (east coast time) the new one is up?

In 3.5 there was a penalty to create a magic item for an inapproiate body slot (i.e. boots of speed made into a hat).
I do not see this in Pathfinder RPG, am I missing it or was it done away with?

Is the telling blow feat still balanced for use with PRPG (it is in the PH2 for 3.5 Ed.).
Looking for opionions since I have a Rogue in my RotR game who wants to take it.

Thanks

Is there a feat like this in PRPG it is from the 3.5 Complete Arcane?

Does anyone know if anyone has stated out all the dragons for each age catagory (like they where in 3.5)?
I an just trying to save me some work.

Thanks

In the universal monster rules it states "A creature
with an alignment subtype (chaotic, evil, good, or lawful)
can overcome this type of damage reduction with its
natural weapons and weapons it wields as if the weapons
or natural weapons had an alignment (or alignments)
that matched the subtype(s) of the creature".

Yet in some creatures in their special ability descriptions it specificaly says that their attacks bypass alignment DR even when the creature has that sub type.

Just wondering why it is called out for some monsters and not others when the universal monster rules covers it.

The thanatotic titan is even more confusing as it says "A thanatotic titan’s attacks are treated as epic and
evil for the purposes of overcoming damage reduction", but it also has the "choatic subtype" so it should also count as chaotic for over comming DR, so was "chaotic" left out for a reason making them different from the universal monster rules or just missed?

Sorry for the long post, my basic question is why do some monsters spell out what DR they over come when it is covered by their subtype and universal monster rules.

Since the haste spells reads: "When making a full attack action, a hasted creature may make one extra attack with any weapon he is holding."
Does this mean a person using unarmed strikes and a monk using flurry of blows cannot benifit from the extra attack since they are not holding a weapon?

What was you character before he was a PC classs?
Before he became a fighter/wizard/monk etc was he a commoner?
What hapened to this level he had when he was 10 years old now that he is a PC class?
Just wondering on other games and how they view this we have sort of covered it in our games but wondering what others do, if anything?

Can we no longer download the Playtest?
The link on my downloads page takes me to the product listing and that link takes me back to my download page.

The slayer ability seems to be a left ofver from the playtest. I don't think the inquisitors Judgments scale up per round any more.
Slayer - At 17th level, an inquisitor learns to act
quickly in combat. Whenever an inquisitor uses her
judgment ability, she can select one of her judgments—
that judgment grants the maximum bonus from the first
round of combat onward. If that judgment is changed
during combat, it resets as normal.

I also think this line from Final Judgement is not needed - Once the attack is made, all of the bonuses from
the inquisitor’s judgments reset to those granted on the
first round (although the slayer judgment remains at the
maximum bonus)

Am i right or did I miss something?

If undead are immune to physical ability damage, does this mean that green slime will not dissolve them since it causes Con. damage?

Where is there an explination of "Light activity" like that needed to preform Long Term Care under the healing skill?

Thanks

I have two questions on this function of healing.
1. Since it states you get a -2 on the check for each use of a healers kit you are missing, can you try this use of the skill with no healer kit and take the -4 penalty.
2. If you fail can you keep trying until you make the roll. (I know it is once 24hours for healing HP but is the 1 try per day or 1 success per day).

Thanks

Looking over the costs to add powers an existing item I found the chart says the lower cost power costs 1.5times normal,but the example (a +2 ring and invisibility) says 1.5times the higher cost power (i.e. invisibility).
Which is correct?
Or is the chart for making an item from "ground"up and the example for adding to an existing item.

I am about to start RotR AP and am wondering what kind of downtime is set up in the AP?
We are/have run AoW and Cauldron and both had such a "rushed" adventure the PC had little downtime to craft items.
I RotR the same of is taking craft feats actually going to be useful?

Thanks for any input you can give me.

Maybe we missed it, but we cannot find rules for missing nights of sleep in the core book.
Do they exist (and we missed them), if not what do others do if a character misses sleep for a day or more?

Where do we vote?

Why was the ability to be a "normal" and reach weapon removed from the spiked chain, but given to the DORN-DERGAR, both are exotic weapons?

If a monk gets stuck to a mimick (or other such creature) using his flury of blows how do you determine what is stuck (since the monk's whole body is a weapon) and does he incure penalties on further flurry attacks?

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

In the forward of issue #26 is states:
There’s a chance, though, that the Bestiary
might not be available by the time this volume reaches
folks. So, to assure that you have everything you need to run
this adventure the second you have it in your hands, we’ve
put up Pathfinder RPG versions of the monsters referenced
herein on paizo.com.

Is this different then the 1st Bestairy preview? If so where is it located?

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?

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.

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?

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

I am running RotR and one player has a warblade, some of his maneuvers call fo a concentraion check, which in pathfinder is now subsumed into spellcraft, but this feels wrong for the class.
Any ideas?

Will there be a subscription option for the Pathfinder Society materials?

I cannot download or open my card.
Anyone else have this issue?

Vote for Pathfinder at KoboldQuarterly.com to keep it supported in the on line magazine.

VOTE NOW!
VOTE OFTEN!

14 days and still nothing?
Can it be tracked?

In the DMG if you paid double to make an item it could be made slotless (i.e.used but not counted as occuping a body slot)is this going to be an option in Pathfinder?

Under the rage power terrifying howl it says the barbarian must also have the rage power hunter's cry.
I don't see hunters cry anywhere?
Was it missed, deleted or am is missing something?

It says Arcane Strike's effects last until your next action.
When can you use it?? 1/day 1/round?

What kind of action activates it? Free, move, standard, full?

They are on the D&D experience page, quick rules primer.

I hope Paizo stays with 3.5, I am cancelling my 4e orders!
Anyone else read this yet?

http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/welcome

Will Pathfinder switch to 4E? If so any idea when?

Also how bo other feel? Stay 3.5 or go to 4E?

Do you plan on posting web supulments for Dungeon issues 144-150?

I hope so to help us finishing out Savage Tide.
