Ok, a spellbook with all 0 level CORE spells and 7 1st level spells in it.
I came up with 312.5 gp.
My math: 0 level spells cost 8.75gp each to purchase and scribe into the book.
1st level spells cost 17.5gp each to purchase and scribe into the book.
The blank book is 15gp itself.
So 20 0-level x 8.75=175gp
7 1st-level x 7 = 122.5gp
and 15 for the book.....
Am I correct on this? Usually someone else handles this in our group but I am stepping into the treasure tracking duty and want to get it right.
My daughter (8) has scored in the post-high school range for advanced reading. She is ranked above the 99th percentile nationwide for her grade. She has devoured just about every decent book I know of that is still within her maturity level and I am looking for ideas on books to buy her that will help her learn more subjects, enjoy the works and grow with her reading skills.
Unfortunately, while I am fairly intelligent, I feel under-equipped and am asking for assistance.
I was thinking some books on some of the more hands-on sciences like marine-biology or archeology but I don't have a clue what would do good.
If you please, post a book that you enjoyed reading and a quick reasoning for why. Keep in mind that this is for an 8 year old girl.
She has read all the Harry Potters, all the Narnias, many books on american historic figures, and a good amount of fantasy faire so far. I am going to unleash her on Tolkien shortly.
Thanks.
So I decided to play a dwarven (lorekeeper) bard (archivist) in an up-coming game....
I have decided that his perform will be lecturing on dwarven history...using a Ben Stein/Eeyore type of voice and characteristics.
So I would like to gather as many 20-30 second speeches about dwarven history and some of their enemies history to use when he does his performances.
Please help by posting some interesting history (real or imagined) that I can use in-game....nothing too specific, just general stuff. I am always impressed with the imagination this board shows.
Can't wait to see some stuff! Thanks in advance.
Thought you guys would enjoy this....
Nerdiest Christmas Trees
My favorite one requires a sanity check.
And I figured Lilith would love the Tokyo Terror being a Kaiju fan and all....
Merry Christmas to the Christians....Happy Holidays to everyone else.
So I am looking to start up a new PC and I would like to fill a couple holes in the group if possible....
The group is in need of a trapfinder/disabler and low on arcane casting....I would like to combine the 2 although Arcane Trickster PRC isn't all that attractive to me.
Any thoughts?
Rules---core and APG only, stats will be rolled (not too worried about them anyway).
I am just looking for class combos and feats, not really gear or any of that. I also am not looking for the most Uber-great means of doing this, just hoping to be decently effective and fun to play.
Thanks all.
I wanted to order the Beginners Box and Dungeons of Golarion and the only shipping option is USPS for $21.77.....on $55 worth of stuff.....
I am thinking there must be some mistake....or I need to order elsewhere or wait for the FLGS to have these things.
Any ideas on why this is so high of a number? And how do we reduce this to something reasonable?
I am creating a 12th level Inquisitor for a home game with standard wealth.
What are some must-have magic items for such a character? I'm not looking for ultimate optimization, I am just wanting to have some decent gear that helps him out and doesn't suck.
He is using a repeating crossbow and bayonet for weapons, staying mostly ranged, and is gonna try to be pretty helpful with the healing.
Also what are some good feats for an Inquisitor?
I have a player who wants to play a displacer beast that grows up in a new campaign. She kinda has a thing for the lil' kitties.
I am looking for a way to make this happen and I don't really have any real idea how to proceed. I am looking for 10 levels of progression that would keep this beast even with PCs and slowly add attacks and abilities until it is 'grown' and gains it's full potential and all.
Any and all help is needed.
Thanks all.
Hi all. I would love to start out this thread with some Vacation Pics but sadly I haven't been anywhere cool. BUT I was remembering someone on the boards who posted some pics of a Greek vacation and I loved seeing that locale. I know that a good amount of posters have seen some interesting travels and would like to live vicariously through them.
I would love to see-
Date of vacation
Location
Link to pics (flickr, or other image hosting site probably)
and maybe a quick story about an interesting point of the vacation/trip.
BTW, living poor on the East Coast (usa) and just getting past a record snow-fall year.....I need a vacation and the only option is a vicarious one. Also I would like to see this all consolidated into this one thread for easy finding.
Thanks all!
Hello friends. My 4 year old son, Luke, has autism. It has been a very weird time filled with awful struggles, amazing breakthroughs, and a couple of supportive communities that have inspired strength and hope in me and my family.
Luke and I are participating in the 4th Annual Walk for Autism, sponsored by Autism Delaware, a non-profit organization that I have seen in action. I can't even begin to list the amount of help and support my son and my family have received from them. We have formed a team: Luke's Parade of Hope, and I would love for my friends on the Paizo boards to help us reach our donation goals.
Please visit this link to sponsor us in our walk. Luke's Parade of Hope
The site is fast, easy and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support our fund-raising efforts.
Thank you everyone, for this and for all the past support when the times have been tough.
Since my last update, we have been back and forth to Houston three times for tests and chemo treatments, an emergency run to St. Joseph’s for another blood clot, an ultrasound and another cat scan. We met with Dr. Ajani, Ronnie’s oncologist, on Monday, and he was very pleased with the treatment so far. Some tumors have gone and some have shrunk. He says we have a long road to travel, but we are on the right path. Going back and forth to Houston is getting old, with all the cancelled and delayed flights and some of the rude Continental staff, the same boring food at the hotel (I think we have eaten everything on their horrible menu!), but…when we get a good report from the doctor, it is all worth it. The only food Ronnie says he can taste is Indian curry; everything tastes like metal (HEAVY metal?) because of the chemo. We did, however, have a nice breakfast with Carmen and his mother on Friday. He is still waiting for his bone marrow transplant.
I am so sorry if I have upset any of our friends for not returning calls or emails, but please understand that it is so draining for me to go over and over to everyone about Ronnie’s progress. This is why I thought that if I wrote an update once a month, everyone can know of Ronnie’s progress at the same time. The Fan Club just delivered a huge sack of mail, and we have been reading all the wonderful cards and letters you have all sent. Thank you all so much – it keeps our spirits up knowing you all love Ronnie so much and wish him well. Ronnie and I have a great support system: Simon, who does so much; Geezer and Gloria (she has been my strength, everyday she listens to me, whether I am happy or not); Sheila and Jacqui, friends for 25 years who would go anywhere or do anything for Ronnie or I; Mike Carden, a cancer survivor who is always available to talk to; Rudy, Vinny, Doug, Scott, Big Scott, Lois and Wyn; my colleagues at work – Marchele, Lynne, Carmen, Anthony and Diana; Dr. Mena, Dr. Chu and our wonderful Dr. Kapoor, who is available 24/7 for us and spent his whole Sunday day off with us at the emergency room, and of course Dr. Ajani, who mixes his magic cocktail of chemo and gives us hope.
Ronnie takes a walk everyday in the park and keeps busy with his music and watching sports. He was really mad that he missed the Super Bowl because we had to fly back to Houston on that Sunday, as his chemo started at 8:00am on Monday. He is in real good spirits and will be going to the studio next week to listen to the mix of the Heaven and Hell DVD that will be released later this year. He is itching to get back on tour, and with the good reports and all of your prayers and good energy, I think he is going to make it. Bless you all.
"A monk's unarmed strike is treated as both a manufactured weapon and a natural weapon for the purpose of spells and effects that enhance or improve either manufactured weapons or natural weapons."
So can I by the rules get the fists enchanted?
One of my PCs in RotRLs has had a Wayfinder for some time and just now got ahold of an ioun stone (the dex one). When you place an ioun stone in a wayfinder it is supposed to display some additional power.....but I can't see where it would describe the additional power. Anyone know of anywhere that this info is or maybe toss out some ideas as to what powers I could give it?
Thanks.
I was wondering if you were doing a Guide for Sorcerers soon? I have someone who is playing one and was looking for some help in picking out effective feats and spells and such.
Any help along those lines would be appreciated....
Thanks.
They are doing ROTRLs and are just past saving Turtleback ferry. I am giving them a few weeks to a month or so before running 'A desperate plea' and I suspect they would like to hit Sandpoint again. They own and operate a brewery there that is starting to become slightly popular as the group's popularity and position in Sandpoint and Magnimar grow.
I would like to run something related to the business to draw that into the storyline a bit but I am not sure how to. I also would like to include something that uses a draconic influence in it as I have been screwing with them with a yellow dragon cult.
Any ideas?
Anyone have any ideas? I would love to see an updated maze one (like the one from years and years ago that randomly roamed 2d/3d maze, flipping and finding stuff and whatnot...)that looks dungeon-y and maybe has monsters, treasure chests and such in it.
I want to replay one of these 2 on the PC. Which one would you choose and why? I never beat either of them but have had them forever and played each one for a bit in the past.
I really want some advice on this.
Hello fellow Christians! It's that time again. Spend, spend, spend....
Let's turn Christmas into a way of doing good in the world.
Here is an idea of how. (and NO, this is not a holiday Rick Roll....)
My daughter (6) came to me and asked how we could help the world for Christmas instead of buying tons of gifts, bless her lil' soul, then I see this and it's just perfect...
If anyone knows of a really short, free, 1st level adventure that is available I would love to know where to dl it and an idea about it.
Ideally what I am looking for is something that starts in a village/town with some limited NPC interactions, and heads to a ruin or small cave type of area for the adventure and can be completed in one 2-4 hours session.
This is for me to tweak a bit, make terrain for, and use to introduce a few young (7-9yr old)cousins to the idea of what rpgs are. I am probably using Microlite 20 rules for this so the base system is secondary.
I made a small outpost for the one kid and he is just plan loving it and wants more so I figured I would give more while swelling the RPG ranks a bit. I just wanna make sure it sticks.
Thanks all.
I want to play a bard in an upcoming game and was looking to be an effective archer also. The DM is allowing most books but wants to avoid obvious cheese (as do I), but the only books I have are core, PHB2, TOB, Complete Adventurer, MIC, and Unearthed Arcana. I would like to limit much of the PC to those books but am not totally inflexible on that point.
What I need is a "build" that would make my dude a decent archer and still a good bard. Any good items to get for my dude and ideas for PRCs and any multiclassing is also great.
This is a 3.5 game and we usually have a fairly high point buy of 28-32 or an equally robust rolling method.
He will be starting at level 1.
I was playing Axis and Allies with some buddies over the weekend and I had an amazing defense roll that I need to figure out the odds for. My math is weak in these areas so if someone could do the math I would appreciate it.
I had 13 defenders that needed 1 or 2 to hit. The first 6d6 was 5 1's and 2's. The second 6d6 was all 1's. Really. The other players were hysterical! and the last roll was a miss.
First of all I would love know what the chances are of having 11 out of 13 dice rolled ending up as a 1 or 2 would be.
Second I really would like to know the odds of rolling 6d6 and getting all 1's.
I would love to put stats to the story that will live amongst my group forever.
I need to find a supplier. All I seem to find are metal ones. I am trying to find some pieces I can use for a board game I am designing that is sort of like an Axis and Allies game set in a fantasy realm that has a small degree of resource management and I need pieces for different armies and possibly some other stuff.
Does anyone know of a place to buy 10mm plastic fantasy minis?
I have look at my usual haunts and nothing is looking good to me but I need a pic for an online game I am getting into. If anyone has a good image around please post a link. Thanks.
I am going to be playing in a game as a cleric of Tyr. I know little about about him besides his portfolio. Can someone give me a bit of info about him and some stuff I should know?
Thanks.
The first is a flaw. Lamashtu is wielding her kukris with the the bladed edge facing wrong on page 25.
The second is that Norgorber looks just like Richard from Looking for Group the web comic.
I have this one from way back and used it for my Savage Tide game. It took me a while to build (roughly 2 weeks total!) but was totally worth it. It did service as several ships in the Savage Tide Path and with some retro fitting I think I can alter it to be a smaller ship in a future game. I love this company and their stuff.
Here are some pics of My Maiden.
I want to play something like a martial artist who uses a shield and ringsword (longsword) and either light or no armor. I would like him to have a higher than average speed, be able to use a few other weapons, have some neat tumbling, and maybe do a couple of cool things that you see in martial arts flicks.
My problem is that a monk sucks for this as he would need to take 2 feats to be able to use a longsword and a shield and a shield would negate his monk's bonus to AC.
A ninja a way too fragile, although he has some cool Ki abilities that would help add the flavor, but he suffers from lack of proficiencies also.
I keep coming back to fighter. I could use a bunch of feats to help flesh him out and give the flavor I am looking for but I really don't have anything to make me a bit faster, or have that tumbling and Ki stuff that I would like.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Either a class I haven't noticed, some feats to help, or a good idea for a path of multiclassing?
I need help.
Everything is open book-wise, but I would like to limit to the SRD, PHB2, Complete Adventurer and core if possible..
Thanks all.
I am frustrated. I need to figure out what the perception out there in the general public is because I feel like my view has been skewed by my group.
I'm not looking for the best numbers possible, just what is expected and usual for a normal game without munchkinism or over-optimization.
What should a high AC be for PCs at 5th level? 10th level? 15th level?
What should a high 'to hit' bonus be for PCs at 5th level? Etc? Etc?
What should high spell DCs be for PCs at 5th level? Etc? Etc?
What should high damage output without a crit be for PCs at 5th level? 10th level? 15th level?
I fear my groups numbers are way off and I want to verify it. Please help me see what is really going on out there. I would love to see a response from James Jacobs or one of the other Paizo crew to see where they sit in this stuff.
Broke out the halloween shirts and stuff and I tossed a werewolf shirt on my 3 1/2 year old(he's mildly autistic). He has been really getting into pictures on his shirt lately so I told him that the cute little image on his was a werewolf and I made the werewolf howl for him.
All day he is showing everyone he sees his 'warwoof' shirt and letting out big giant howls. Damn cute!
You'd be proud Heathy.
I am making a monk-type character for a game but I am not real familiar with monks. Please help. I am allowed to use PHB, DMG, MM1, Complete Adventurer, Magic Item Compendium and possibly Unearthed Arcana. 32 point buy. No abilities below 10.
My thought is a monk/rogue(mostly for sneak and uncanny dodge + rogue skills) build with a possible prestige class, but I am unsure about Race, what levels to take what, what types of items I want to have at certain levels and what feats are most beneficial to a monk. I would like him to be fairly effective in combat. I know that a monk belt is needed but I am unfamiliar with gear that a monk would need at mid to high-levels.
If there is anyone good at making monks please help out with a build. The game is only going up to around 14th level so a 20 level build isn't necessary.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hello Paizo,
I don't understand why Phychic Robot has not been banned. He and a few others are trashing the boards with personal attacks, utter contempt for the posters and employees of Paizo, and is just dragging down the demeanor of the boards.
I don't see why this is being tolerated. Is it against policy to permanently ban someone? If so how about a mini-ban? I grow tired of watching him post things like 'Aubrey the Fail-formed' and the other venom he tosses about.
I petition for him being perma-banned.
Wow! They shipped that quick! From Washington state to Delaware in 2 days! Good lord. I am so happy right now.
The cover looks really good, it seems well put-together, and it is huge for a softcover.
I noticed that Hide Shirt isn't in the armor chart but it has an entry in the armor descriptions, so that is one thing that I noticed so far. (I was looking at what Paizo gear was included, kinda disappointed that stuff like the Red Mantis barbed swords, the Earthbreaker, and a few others, didn't make the cut.)
I can't wait to sit down and absorb it.
I keep seeing some good maps on TV from various shows that depict a 3-d rendering of Egyptian Tombs. I can't seem to locate any printable versions in 2d on the web anywhere. Does anyone know of a good source? I love the layouts of actual tombs and would like to incorporate some of that style into my Dungeons. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am thinking of just creating a 'class' that has full caster levels (choose arcane or divine) that are spontaneous casters with spells per day and known as a sorcerer. D8 HD, ability to use light armor without spell failure(if arcane), proficiency in one martial weapon, 4+int Skill points per level, choose 5 skills as class skills, add +2 to the caster level of spells every 5 levels, DR 5 at level 10, and SR= 5+ caster level.
I would make some options to get rid of spellcasting and associated stuff in exchange for a D12 HD, Proficiency in one exotic weapon, all armor proficiency, and fighter bonus feats and a special ability every 5 levels(like sneak attack, leaping pounce, stuff like that).
I don't wanna have to pick through 15+ books to try to put together something 3 ELs higher than the PCs that will last 2-4 rounds. I think a generic DM class or classes is needed. Maybe not what I have above but something. Any thoughts or suggestions on this?
"I love this PDF. Just read through it and the backgrounds on the weapons is well written and yet generic enough to be used in almost any setting. It was a great read and has sparked my imagination about weapons in my own games. I will be using this.
I think this is written for 3.0 though so some minor conversions may be necessary.
Good on you, SKR and company."
I was wondering if it actually was written for 3.0 or not just so I can know to rework the stuff in it?
Hey all, I have had this one for a bit and only recently got some time to really get on it. I can't seem to get the leveling ball rolling, is there a different trick than in Morrowind? It seems harder to make any good money and I just can't seem to get it going well. Can someone give me a step-by-step breakdown and some tips on money making? It seems like the Mercantile skill is more difficult to 'massage'.
I was looking for the old Reincarnate list that allowed for some of the weirder things like animals and such to come back as. I think it was 1E or 2E but I am not sure.
Does anyone have a file of this that they can share?
