I thought they wanted to resurrect the dragon though so that makes even less in common. I like the idea of preventing that and just storing as it makes them not so opposed. They can claim it's their right to protect from heretics I suppose.
Certainly interesting and I like how they can be rid of one later and possibly see the other side more with the hero's beliefs.

Look at the last Rise of the Runelords adventure and it's really hard to have a breaking point. So we did have enough to double for one character. You could award once reached and just level during play, but those that like to wait for a break in the story may find this happens.

I came to similar conclusions regarding the classes; couldn't really justify it on anything but a soldier. But is it really worth it? It doesn't seem to add to combat effectiveness, nor does it fill it skill gaps...

You may not be aware of this, but there is more to the game than combat checks and skill checks. Like, there's at least two more pillars beyond combat, not to include the entire role-playing aspects of the game.

But the means to actually represent your role-playing are tied into skills and combat ability. Our 2 archetypes trade out the core features of classes, and in exchange you get...mediocrity.

That's not to say they couldn't fit into a good build, but as is they don't offer enough to be attractive. I don't look at them and think "I could make a pretty cool character with this" and I've done that with almost every PF archetype (even some of the absolute garbage ones). There's no enticing reason to take either one when feats, items, or racial traits can do these things without gutting the class.

They were obviously discussing meta game use of abilities and not knocking on role playing. To come in all high and mighty to rail road the discussion is pretty rude.

It's been a few days since you submitted your schedule, but I'm not seeing any Paizo-run RPG sessions in the Gen Con event database. Is there any update on when I should expect to see the events?

Not gonna lie, I have the same question...

Ask GenCon. The publishing of events in the database is fully in the control of GenCon. Whatever GenCon may say about deadlines, they're still the only ones with power over the publication of events.

But they're not going to give you an answer better than, "When it's done."

Last year it was on Paizo to submit not Gen Con to publish. just fyi quick answer guy.

Bummer. Honestly not interested in SFS. Hopefully they do PSF group events next year - guessing they plan to wait until they can make them all 2nd edition.

So I'm reading Scarwall to prep running it and find it confusing without background on the Brotherhood. I've done a lot of searching and can't find a simple explanation of who they are. Given the plot setup in the adventure, I know the adventurers will look deeply at the motivation of those from the Brotherhood so it will help to know the reasons those members will state for their desire to help.

Surely they can't claim a right to help due to being like worshipers of Zon-Kuthon or the like so I'm not certain how they justify any right to help.

Thoughts?

Fun. The only error I noticed in generating a handful of spellbooks was that Ear-Piercing Scream was misspelt.

It's quite interesting looking at such a spellbook and imagining what it says about the wizard who compiled it.

How can you correct spelling and used a word that doesn't exist? lol

Thanks!

What does it do?

+1 Intimidate, +2 if damage delt to target last 30 seconds and DR 3 vs critical hits and it stacks

Really would like Adopted Weapon Training but I've seen others that look appealing. I'll pm back about one if no one has the weapon training one to part with for the Brutal Reputation.

First public experience with Society and such a well designed system. Great GMs that all seemed prepared and flexible given the structure they had to keep! It didn't feel confined as I thought it might - only the treasure part later, which is really an afterthought.
Thanks for taking fantasy RPGs to the next level and providing the quality needed to keep folks coming back.

Searched all over for an example or discussion and I'm still wondering what effects are there for say 3 characters with 18 STR making a combined check to all push on a larger door to open it? Assuming the door is big enough for all three to lean into/bash it, do 2 of them add +2 each as a standard Aid does for skill checks?

This seems common enough that I must be missing something. Current party has a very large door that needs a 35DC STR check to open. Given a +4 for one character, this will never happen. Others are less STR of course, but I would think they could add.. something. Even those with no STR bonus provide extra force against the door.

Thoughts?

Just realized I should have posted this question here:
