[Edited thread title. Turns out "To murder a fellow player" squicks me out just a bit too much.]

I agree Gorbacz

Are we at the point where people just assume that I have posted in every thread and they know what I have posted? If yes, I'm pretty scared... ;-)

Not sure I trust an RNG that produces four 1s in a row for the same group. Anyone would think it wants us to die.

Typos like this make me blush as they tend to lipstick out. It's not like eye shadow your posts looking for them, but the boards are no concealer from such base errors. Fortunately, you're only one edit away from makeup and your foundation is secure. I guess this post means I mascara 'bout you.

Cosmo Eisele is going home now.

Ross: Can you turn off the speakers before leaving?

ORDER SYSTEM: This order requires a shipping method.

Sara Marie: IT HAS A GJDKSFDSHH SHIPPING METHOD!

Gary: Well there's your problem right there...

Gary: we haven't used GJDKSFDSHH for years.

...

Sara Marie: -_-

Sara Marie: Wow, this customer is like, right next door!

Ross: For deliveries that close, we should have a "Catapult" delivery method. It's free, but we aren't responsible for damages.

The thing I like about Paizo? dude took that much time out of his day to explain their reason, and didn't just say "because we said so" like 99% of any kind of company would do.

Saying a rogue who avoids combat is a better role-player is like saying I'm a better person cause I'm a underweight syphilitic near-sighted asthmatic wreck.

Maybe they should call it Penultimate Races, just so that they can release two more after it and have some room for the line to grow.

Grarnold Smurfenegger: You're in your room, surfing on Paizo.com, when all of a sudden you look up...
BigNorseWolf: What one?
Smurfenegger: What?
BNW: What forum?
Smurfenegger: It doesn't make any difference what forum, it's completely hypothetical.
BNW: But, how come I'd be there?
Smurfenegger: Maybe you're playing a PbP. Maybe you want to optimize a PC. Who knows? You look up and see a moth, BigNorseWolf. It's crawling toward you...
BNW: Moth? What's that?
Smurfenegger: {irritated by interruptions} You know what a Mothman is?
BNW: Of course!
Smurfenegger: Same thing.
BNW: I've never seen a Mothman... But I understand what you mean.
Smurfenegger: You reach down and you flick the moth into an OTF political thread.
BNW: Do you make up these questions, Mr. Smurfenegger? Or do they write 'em down for you?
Smurfenegger: The moth lies trapped in the thread, its SAN draining from the trolls' comments, beating its head against the rhetorical wall, smurf's dancing and singing everywhere. It can't escape. Not without your help. But you're not flagging.
BNW: {angry at the suggestion} What do you mean, I'm not flagging?
Smurfenegger: I mean: you're not flagging! Why is that, BNW?

No relation.

Moved thread.
In my opinion, the DM/GM/Storyteller/etc. has plenty of characters to play already, and I've rarely seen a DM PC handled well.

This thread just took a sharp right turn into pure crazy town.

This may just be the coolest idea for a weapon ever. Where can the full write up be found?

Also, something to consider. Awesome things shouldn't be banned. Like...ever. Instead, a compromise can be made to make the awesome thing not broken. Rather than impose a hugely arbitrary -4 penalty to hit or some other crap, use the limitation that is literally built into the item. Bear traps clasp onto the target. Make that a feature of the item. For example...

** spoiler omitted **

You can't just add weapons to other weapons, that isn't creativity it is just crazy.

But if we want to slam the crazy button then here are a few suggestions.
A repeating bear trap crossbow, so that you get both arrow damage and bear trap damage.

A Great sword with a peg at the base of the blade so that you can attach two long swords to it. 2d6 + 2d8 + 1.5 * str.
You could even make it launch the long swords as projectiles. Like in the video shown below.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDvuBY97cD4

How about a wand of Magic Missile Bear Trap 50 charges. 1d4+1 + 2d6+3.

A Bear Trap net so that when you throw it on someone they take damage from 6-8 bear traps because the blanket surrounds the target.

A great Axe with little axes attached to it.

A Spike chain with bear traps and caltrops on it to increase damage and provide wounding damage.

How about a Caltrop coated great club which cripples enemies because when they take caltrop damage they need their wounds mended before they can travel at full speed.

A multi-great Club with swords hammered into it, and a bear trap.

If you don't like the damage a construct does, make an animated bear trap, and add the bear trap damage to the construct.

OOh how about the sleepy ball spell, it first releases a fireball blast, and then casts sleep in the same spell. Or even better sleep first so that nobody gets a save then fireball. Fear the Sleepy Ball.

The point is that weapons have stats for a reason, adding more weapons to existing weapons isn't being creative it's just stupid, and the players should be punished for insisting on using heavily modified weapons like that.

Is there any Pathfinder Battles game in the works?

Yes! It's called the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game!

We do not currently have any concrete plans regarding a separate miniatures game. Is that something you'd like to see?

If you listen REALLY hard, you can actually hear the folks at Paizo staff mulling over if it's time to just lock this thread ....

Seriously. I get that you're upset about not getting a) the module or b) your money back. But it doesn't help.

For one reason or another, Nick has not been able to finish the project. None of us know what those reasons are. He tried to do an exciting RPG book, but failed on the target line, and the money he got from preorders was used for art, if I got it right. Some of you have asked for your money back, and apparently some have gotten it. Others have not.

What this tells me is that Nick is swamped, for whatever reason, and is trying to pay people back through his monthly paycheck. The stress must be massive. The fact that he actually tries to pay people back means he cares about the situation. Seeing as the money isn't there, however, he can't very well proclaim this is so without getting more of a headache.

Yes, he did take your money. No, he didn't give you what you ordered for it. He most likely knows that this in itself has destroyed him in the RPG publishing business. Which means the holdup must be pretty bad for him.

Look at it this way: He took money you otherwise would have spent on roleplaying games. It's not your mum's cancer medications, people. He did so a long time ago by now, and I imagine your economy hasn't been shot down by this (or alone if it has). Even screaming bloody murder about your MASsive LOSS of MONey for several years on this board would have netted you much more money by now if you had spent that time productively.

So: The entire situation is a bloody miserable tragedy, and frankly, it's disgraceful that you're still whining about it. Draw a line somewhere. It's not likely he's going to get the book done by now, so cut your losses, people. And if you never preorder another book by him, let that be the sum of consequences for this.

I know I am going to get flak about this. I can live with that.

So unless a real study on marketshare or sales is made public, I just don't see this.

I actually heard from somewhere that Pathfinder and D&D now have a roughly equal share at the moment.

Afraid not.

Scott is totally right here. Pathfinder has surpassed D&D in most of the markets that I check.

Thanks for ninja'ing me Scott!

I think we're done here.

You are all wrong.

Do you actually know anything about katanas?

I doubt so.

So let me tell you. Katans are blades of gods. They are crafted, once in a century, atop an impossibly high mountain, by an ageless, blind weaponsmith who pours his immortal magic into making a perfect sword. A sword that sends meteors raining from the sky every time it hits. A sword that can cut things apart without even making a swing. A sword that reflects laser beams, beholder eye rays and your wife's "the stare".

So, mwk bastard sword it is.
