So, just checking my reading, but now a ruffian rogue can sneak attack with bombs as long as the damage die is d6, correct? What if its 2d6? Seems like it should as the die size is still d6... My ruffian was looking at multi-classing to fighter or something to be able to throw dread ampules if needed.

My players were wondering if there would be a follow up scenario that deals with the tower at higher level? Any word about this?

I made a very similar character for PFS. Went stuffed poppet (teddy bear knight) redeemer champion of Grandmother Crow. She's about protecting children and fit well with my idea. Her favored weapon is staff, so I made my staff appear as a wooden sword. At 3rd level he'll get his mount, an animated ottoman.

As far as I know, there's no Welcome to Pathfinder Society boon for 2e.

I just went and took versatile specialization with my biohacker4/soldier1 so that I knew I would get full level to damage. By taking that, it also allows me to be specialized in all the heavy weapons we keep finding. :)

Nefreet, our Kalamazoo lodge right now has SFS games scheduled for RSP rewards, two tables once a month. If you wanted to contact Andrew Pratt, the VA of Kalamazoo, I'm sure he'd be willing to let you run some of their tables if it worked out for you.

I've gotten to the point where I won't buy any physical products from you anymore. Its not worth it. I wanted to buy a couple of things. One I knew should cost a bit to ship as I knew it was big though it shouldn't be that heavy as its full of foam, the Army Transport bag for minis. But when shipping was only a couple of dollars less than the price of the bag (57 vs 60) I couldn't afford it.

Then I cleared my cart and only had a small light card game expansion no bigger than my hand (Flip City Reuse Expansion). It was over $34 dollars to ship! That's not right. There's no way in hades that it costs that much to send that little light box. You guys really need to talk with your shipping supplier and shop around because those of us that are ordering physical items are getting SCREWED!

I usually don't care for Raising dead threads, but for those like me that are searching for Criting with grenades, there has been errata. :)

Explosives have the explode special property, which lists the amount of damage the explosion deals, the damage type, special effects (with a duration, if necessary), and the radius of the explosion. When you attack with this type of weapon or ammunition, aim at a grid intersection. Each creature within the blast radius takes the listed damage but can attempt a Reflex saving throw for half damage. If the explode special property has any special effects other than damage, they are negated with a successful saving throw. If you score a critical hit, it applies only to the creature closest to the targeted intersection (you choose the creature if several are equally close). Some exploding weapons, such as smoke grenades, don’t deal damage, so they don’t include the damage and damage type entries.

Grenades can now crit!

I'd roll the 2d4 every turn and the target would take a minimum of 4 so if you roll 3 on the 2d4 he'd take 4. if you rolled 7 on the 2d4 he'd take 7.

And yet it still mentions a cyberbow with no such weapon existing... :)

We haven't run this locally yet, but if I did and the players found out it was only worth quest rewards, I'd have a bunch of angry players on my hands. So, until its more that just a quest, I guess we won't be running it locally, which is too bad since I've heard its a good adventure.

As one of the players in the OP's game, I was a little surprised as well by it not working. Although I thought about mentioning that I had plenty of rations so wondered why we needed to forage, but ultimately decided it wasn't really worth it as it was such a small part of the scenario.

Now, if we'd have been penalized for having not succeeded enough when OP did and could have provided enough for everyone then we might have had issues. I'll admit, with my first PFS2 character I started making him able to subsist easily on his own and looked at forager, but after having played other characters and having GM'd a bunch of different scenarios I realized that subsisting wasn't really used in PFS so went another direction with my first while I could.

No, he's asking about a 1st edition product (it came out June 2019). Eventually, maybe? They have to focus on the current campaigns and when they have spare time they'll look at 1st edition stuff to sanction. I wouldn't hold your breath for too long, I think it'll be a while.

The bleeding shot gets added to effects for debilitating trick. DT specifies that you add the effect on a HIT. So he still has to hit with the trick attack to cause the bleed, it doesn't just go off the trick itself.

For your debilitating trick, you can afflict your target with an amount of bleed damage equal to your operative level.
SRD Debilitating Trick wrote:
When you hit an enemy with a trick attack, you can make the creature flat-footed or off-target until the beginning of your next turn. You might learn exploits that grant you additional options for your debilitating trick, but you can select only one option each time you hit with a trick attack.

I've had some space combats that have been really fun, others are just a boring slog. It could be the players I suppose, but it also feels like if the GM is prepared and has good handouts for players that it helps things go smoother and players enjoy it more.

To go more along with the OP, if players would at least learn one starship combat role that their character is decent at it would help. If you don't want to learn everything, fine, at least learn one role, even if its just the gunner role which seems the most exciting since you're doing the damage.

The book only has alternate racial features. It doesn't have the base race, so if you can play one of those races you have access to the alternate features. Near Space itself doesn't give access to those races.

Also remember the premise is they're supposed to be cheap. an item that's several hundred gold isn't exactly cheap.

I keep telling a friend that it'd be hilarious if she was made to join the Starfinder Society so that all the agents that want to kill her couldn't. lol

Any word on when we might see Near Space added to Additional Resources?

I've always given gm boon to GMs even if their tables didn't fire. They put in the time to prep they should get the convention reward. Even at Gencon they hand out GM boons at the start based on how many slots you signed up for. They don't wait to see how many go off and then give out your boon based on how many went off.

Cons that give out badges to GMs, do they take them away or make the GM pay if their tables don't go off? Not if they want GMs in the future they don't.

This is supposed to be the first time my wife and I are going to Paizocon, travelling from the Detroit area. We booked our hotel and flight back in December. With the Coronavirus issues in the Seattle area, and discussions about limiting travel and large gatherings, are there discussions taking place about delaying or cancelling the con? Is there information Paizo can share with us about the status of such discussions?

We still plan to come to the con, but if there is going to be a cancellation or delay, more time to make changes to arrangements would be preferred.

Hey Lee, I'm right there with you. Got a chance to attend for the first time and I grabbed it! Really excited, but at the same time, we're definitely keeping an eye on how things go.

So, I won a starship boon over a year ago (early Feb), and haven't received it yet. I know many others that are in the same boat. Most of the GMs in my region know I won it, I have the sample sheet and use it when they allow me, but it'd be nice to have the real boon I donated over $100 for. I know there's a lot going on right now, but with the new assistant starting soon, maybe the last year's worth of boons can get sent out? :)

Any chance these will be updated to include the combat roles from Characters Operations Manual?

One way I look at people playing characters who perfectly fit the scenario after they've played it before or gm'd it is, the Venture-Captain was actually competent in selecting the right pathfinder for the mission. lol

Locally we do expect if you've got experience with the scenario to try to take a bit of a backseat in major decisions.

In my 300+ scenarios I've run I've never seen it be a problem.

Locally what I've done with our specials that has worked really well is running them first slot of the day on Sunday. I know this isn't really what GenCon wants, and a lot of cons are in the mindset of "there MUST be a special at the end of the day", but having everyone start off fresh really amps up the energy level of the special and makes for a good start of the day. This also helps draw players in on the last day when many would be more interested in sleeping in and skipping that slot. But that's just what I've done to improve our specials and I know it couldn't be implemented everywhere. :/

To add to what Kate posted, you also gain access to the items on the sheet based on which subtier you played. So if you played the 4-5 you'd have access to everything on the sheet (except for those items you may not have found).

As co-founder of Tavern Con, I've been looking forward to a book like this for years. :D I'm planning on getting several signed at gencon by any paizo employee who is willing and use them as prize support for this fall's Tavern Con. :)

The card game is pretty simple BNW. Talk to Dominick Trascritti. We might be able to find you a job that doesn't actually involve knowing anything about the card game. They usually have someone organizing who goes to which table or whom gets sat with whom.

I usually use Adobe Reader when I print mine. You can print in poster mode and split it into 9 pages 3x3. I tend to use cardstock, then I tape them together in a way that allows me to fold them in thirds. Or I'll print them on regular paper, tape them, and roll them, but I prefer the cardstock method.

My VL will occasionally print his at staples I think as they can print poster sized, but that gets as expensive as buying the actual flip-mat.

You'll have to open that wallet deeply, I heard the winning bid was well in the four digit range.

HE isn't willing to trade, and in fact has already played it quite a bit. Last I heard he was mid-high level. And it wasn't 4 digits, only 3, though much closer to 4 than 2. (The winner was one of my VLs... although he still hasn't played it at one of my tables like I told him he had to...)

Printing that and showing it to them is usually good enough for many PFS GMs to get their stuff printed at shops.

<sigh> Yeah... most of our PACG play goes unreported. A lot of it is because of issues we had when it was first implemented, though honestly a lot of it had to do with the difficulty of Adventure 2 of Season of the Righteous. We kept failing scenario after scenario and it got embarrassing/frustrating having to report loss after loss.

We keep our chronicles updated when we play, but reporting has definitely taken a backseat.

For those wishing for more non-world specific content, just what would you expect from a book like that? Generic Assassin Guild with Poisoner Assassin Prc? How much do you really think they could write while being generic and letting you fill in the details. I'd imagine they'd flesh things out more, giving them names and fluff, so why do that again when they already have organizations that fit the bill created?

Instead they're showcasing fully fleshed out organizations that honestly could probably be picked up and dropped into any setting just by changing names if you wanted. I know a lot of worlds that could have an organization just like the Pathfinders or Aspis Consortium. I bet the Mammoth Lords would fit in any world that has barbarians that tend megafauna.

I for one trust Paizo. They've proven that they put out high quality content and I can't wait to see what they come up with in this book.

Well, what I do know is for Iron Gods, they allowed retroactive credit for those already playing in campaign mode but you couldn't get the chronicles until you finished the next sanctioned portion at which point you got all of them up to that point. Seems like a good argument for chronicles as you go.
