Is Pathfinder to hard for people to learn how to play? I can prove that its not. </blockquote><p>I doubt it, but I'll give you a fair shake. Let's proceed.
<div class="messageboard-quotee">Quote:</div><blockquote>In september I started a new group after not having a Real life group for several years. I took the role of the GM and I admit I have years worth of experience under my belt with 2nd edition D&D, 3.0, 3.5, Exalted 2E, World of darkness 2E (mostly werewolf, mage and changeling splats), Shadowrun 3rd edition, and even some Rifts games.</blockquote><p>Here's our first problem: it's wrong to assume that all (or even most) new players are going to be introduced to the game via hand-holding from a GM with your incredible level of experience. You can't assume that's the norm. Especially nowadays, as nerdiness gets more and more publicly acceptable, people are livestreaming RPG sessions on popular YouTube channels and newbies are trying out the hobby based on seeing those games or being told by their newbie friends who saw those videos.
<p>HearthStone players who follow Geek & Sundry are seeing Critical Role and deciding to try D&D, video gamers who love the Game Grumps are seeing Dragons in Places and deciding to give it a go, and so on. The playerbase is not just expanding through friends of existing GMs, but through groups of friends who have only heard about TTRPGs secondhand.</p>
<p>How easy is it for THOSE people to learn Pathfinder? Because if your legendary experience is what's necessary to make it go smoothly, then that only proves that Pathfinder <b>IS</b> hard to learn. If Pathfinder were easy to learn, you could have told the same story even if you'd never touched an RPG before.</p>
<div class="messageboard-quotee">Quote:</div><blockquote><p> 2 of my new players had no experience at all. 2 others came from other games (1 4E d&d and the other 2E D&D). I taught Carlos, Josh, Andrew, and Darrel how to play the game using the kingmaker adventure path. </p>
<p>We talked about concepts, I walked them through character creation and options using only the core rulebook because I didnt want to overload their brains with Pathfinders vast amount of information and character options, each one made a character they were happy with and that I felt was somewhat interesting. Carlos made a human necromancer, Josh made a gnome cleric of Sarenae, Andrew made a human ranger, and Darrel made a human fighter.</blockquote><p>Okay, how long did this take? Did you devote an entire session to it?
<p>How much decision-making did the players themselves actually engage in? Did they give you a vague idea of a concept that sounded cool and you just rattled off what they should write down on their sheet? Did you point to the list of Combat Feats and tell the fighter "Here, pick one of these for your bonus feat" and let him decide? Something in between?</p>
<p>Since this is your attempt to "prove" that Pathfinder is not hard to learn, what did they actually learn in this process? </p>
<div class="messageboard-quotee">Quote:</div><blockquote>That said, if I can take 2 players with no experience and turn them into competant players then why cant anyone else?</blockquote><p>By what metric did you determine that they were "competent players"? Did they actually learn how to go through their whole turn themselves without help or correction? Or did you have to keep telling them which dice to roll and what actions were being used up? What is a "competent player"?
<p>Even if your assessment of competence is legitimate, how much of that 3 months had passed by the time they reached that point? Can you demonstrate that the length of time it took for them to reach competence was short enough to support, rather than refute, your assertions about Pathfinder's ease of learning? </p>
<div class="messageboard-quotee">Quote:</div><blockquote>IMO Pathfinder teaches perfectly well as its written and I have proven that we dont need a new edition for that reason.</blockquote><p>You have done no such thing.
<p>So far, all you've established is that two newbies who join the game of an immensely experienced GM can receive an unspecified amount of hand-holding and thereby achieve an undefined level of competence over the course of a three-month period.</p>
<p>There's not enough information there to prove ANYTHING, and what little data you did provide leans more toward <b>dis</b>proving your assertion than proving it.</p>
<p>Fill in the gaps and we can talk.</p>Windcaler wrote:So from my point of view I keep hearing that Pathfinder needs to be streamlined to allow for ease of teaching new people to play but lets explore that idea. Is Pathfinder to hard for people to learn how to play? I can prove that its not.

Part of good game design is figuring out how to get a "good deal" by getting a lot of depth for only a little complexity, and trimming out any elements of complexity that don't produce enough depth to be worth the "price".

<p>I have several off the wall character concepts that I judge any new system I try by. The more of those characters I can easily build while staying true to the vision, the better I consider the system to be. The less I can build precisely as envisioned, the worse I consider a system to be.</p>
<p>Quite a few of them are intentionally playing against type.</p>
<p>I have tested many, many systems, and there has been one thing that has always remained constant. The ones that can score higher on my list of test characters are more complicated to build and play.</p>
<p>We have not been shown anything yet that I've seen to suggest that PF2e can support truly off the wall characters. That bothers me greatly. What we've been shown is pretty much the opposite. Stats based on race/class instead of picking what you want directly. Entire feat lists locked behind class. Even what kind of actions you are allowed to take or not take being locked behind class walls.</p>
<p>Frankly, if PF2e can't deliver the option of letting me build whatever I want, then the simple fact is that I won't play it. I honestly do not care if its faster and easier to play. Tic Tac Toe is faster and easier to play than Chess, but that doesn't make it •better•. </blockquote><p>Here's a fun tidbit for your (rather clever, to be honest) stress-test: There's a tabletop RPG that I've run/played with three different groups, whose characters included the following:
</p>
Flying animal-whisperer
<br />
Mechanic/tinkerer
<br />
Teleportation-specialist mage
<br />
Disguise-style rogue
<br />
Engineer
<br />
Party planner
<br />
Luchador
<br />
Vampire historian
<br />
Flying ice-cream-maker
<br />
Professional hole-digger</p>
<p>Pretty crazy, right? And they were all viable, contributing party members right out of the gate at 1st level.</p>
<p>But the thing is, this game was <b>simpler</b> than Pathfinder by an order of magnitude. Teaching these newbies a system they'd never seen, letting them build their own characters, and then also playing the full intro adventure took about 3 hours for each group.</p>
<p>Three hours to learn, build, and play.</p>
<p>How many of those characters can you even build AT ALL in Pathfinder 1E, making them viable and on-concept at 1st level? This game has PF beat in flexibility, yet also leaves PF in the dust on simplicity.</p>
<p>I'm sorry, but your understanding of simplicity as being on the opposite end of a spectrum from flexibility is simply wrong. Not all complexity produces the same proportion of depth. Part of good game design is finding ways to get the most depth for the least complexity. Will PF2 do well in that regard? That remains to be seen. </p>
<p>But simpler does NOT automatically mean less flexible.</p>Edymnion wrote:DM_aka_Dudemeister wrote:Okay how about instead of simplicity, we use elegance.

<div class="messageboard-quotee">Quote:</div><blockquote><p>I like that you can create your own skills and "spells" using the game's skill system and I enjoy the idea of it focusing more on exploration than combat. But that's where things go a little too far for my tastes.</p>
<p>Skills are open-ended. Very open-ended. EXTREMELY open-ended... To the point where I don't know how far I should go when creating a skill.</blockquote><p>I think I have a shortcoming of presentation in this document, due to it being condensed for playtesting. In the final product, there would of course be examples, sample character(s), and more fleshed-out guidance. So I'm already on this one, but good catch nonetheless.
<div class="messageboard-quotee">Quote:</div><blockquote>I fear some character will still one-up each other simply because one of the players thought of a more abrasive term for one of their skills... e.g.: Player goes with "tracking" and the other goes with "wilderness survival". It might inadvertently turn the game into a grammar arms race. I know it isn't meant to be a competitive game, but then again... Most RPGs aren't, and it still happens in many of them.</blockquote><p>I had a feeling a lot of D&D/PF veterans would fear this, but have you actually tried it in play? So far, this isn't how it actually goes down at all.
<p>For example, in my last playtest group, we had one character with skills like "Hit it with my fists" and "Make a friend", while another had a spell called "Chronomancy" which he said he wanted to use to pause or rewind time. You might expect the latter player to break the game, but in practice, all he did was give us procedural headaches from trying to figure out causality paradoxes and in the end felt a little underwhelmed in his actual contributions.</p>
<p>Or to use your own example of "tracking" versus "wilderness survival", the latter isn't actually a strict upgrade of the former. They certainly intersect/overlap, but just as the latter includes non-tracking applications in the wilderness, so too does the former include non-wilderness applications for tracking (like finding the urchin who swiped your coin purse in the marketplace). Furthermore, if you really do have two characters who want to do the same thing (unlikely, but let's go with it), then that's a perfect setup for a relationship (rivals? mentor/protege?) that can lead to more consistent growth for both characters, so both players get something out of it.</p>
<p>In short, I have yet to see any gameplay evidence that the arms-race would be a thing in this game (though I'm watching closely, so if you play it and it truly comes up, please send me the details).</p>
<p>Plus, again, there will be examples in the final product. :)</p>
<div class="messageboard-quotee">Quote:</div><blockquote>Speaking of combat... Well... That too went waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too far. You went out of your way to make the game about not-combat, and I can appreciate that. But in an adventure game, combat is likely to happen at least occasionally... But the game fails to deliver not just a combat system, but any conflict resolution system.. </blockquote><p>Wait, what?
<p>It's true that there are no <i>separate</i> mechanics used <i>exclusively</i> for combat, but that's because you're supposed to use the same resolution system you use for everything else you try to do. Was there something I wrote that gave you the impression you couldn't use the existing skill system for combat?</p>
<div class="messageboard-quotee">Quote:</div><blockquote>If I'm attack by a tiger, how do I know if it catches me? </blockquote><p>You decide what you want to do about it, then roll the most appropriate dice to see if you succeed. For example, one of my groups was attacked by mountain lions. When one of the mountain lions pounced toward a PC, that player said "I jump out of the way" and rolled Agility + Improvise. Rolling high, he succeeded, and was not mauled. Then, he wanted to shoot it with an arrow, so he rolled Agility + Archery. He again rolled high, and therefore put an arrow into the mountain lion.
<p>The mechanics are there for resolving uncertain activities; having those activities be combat does not necessitate a separate set of mechanics. Evading a bite, evading a falling boulder; why can't they be resolved the same way? How did your difficulties manifest in play?</p>
<div class="messageboard-quotee">Quote:</div><blockquote>How do I know if my arrow hits the bunny I'm hunting for dinner?</blockquote><p>See above.
<div class="messageboard-quotee">Quote:</div><blockquote>How do I know how serious is the wound it causes?</blockquote><p>What would reasonably happen if the action you attempted were to succeed? If the action was "shoot the bunny", then the obvious result of success is "dead bunny". If instead it's "shoot the dragon", then the result is probably more like "pissed dragon".
<div class="messageboard-quotee">Quote:</div><blockquote>It's like the rules-set put so much emphasis on avoiding restrictions, specially for combat, that it forgot it is a rules-set.</blockquote><p>There is definitely a sliding scale of how complex, codified, and granular an RPG is. Pathfinder and D&D are very much toward one end of the spectrum and this is past the middle toward the other end, so I can understand it being a bit of a shock. I had a very similar shock when I first played a game this far toward the "open" end of the spectrum.
<p>Can I ask whether this is your first time playing something this "open"? That might make it easier to understand how much of your reaction is simply culture shock.</p>
<div class="messageboard-quotee">Quote:</div><blockquote>Still, the system has potential. And I'd love to see future versions of it.</blockquote><p>Awesome!

<p>As for me, 2017 was one doozie of a year, but I'll try to keep this gaming-related.</p>
<p>I got to try some RPGs I hadn't played before, like Star Wars: Edge of the Empire, Mutant: Year Zero, and My Little Pony: Tails of Equestria. (I only now realize that every new RPG I played last year had a two-part title; weird.) </p>
<p>2017 also included the pleasure of helping a good friend of mine introduce his wife to roleplaying for the first time. He'd always wanted to share the hobby with her, but she was put off by both the rules load and the tendency toward solving problems with violence that's so present in many RPGs. But when I offered Tails of Equestria, a game that explicitly cautions you against violence and is made to be approachable even for children, the three of us plus my own wife had a nice little three-hour "double date" of roleplaying that everybody really enjoyed.</p>
<p>Perhaps most significantly, I finally got the kick I needed to really shift into high gear in designing my own game (currently in playtesting; click <a href="http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2usg1?Hey-guess-what#1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><b>HERE</b></a> for more info!) and have made leagues of progress in the last few months.

If you're wanting to average our initiatives together, I recommend stealing the PHB's suggestion for when someone has advantage on a "passive" score: instead of a second roll, just add +5 (IIRC) bonus. That way there wouldn't be as many steps in your math as there would be if you had to roll 2d20 and then remove one of them.

The purpose of such an introduction is to take the full data that follows and compress it into a single idea that mentally prepares the reader to properly frame the information they're about be given. It intentionally sacrifices precision for the sake of brevity. When you want the full details, you read the full details. When you want a general idea (such as because there were too many details for you to process), you read the introduction. An introduction is a loose and imprecise summary.
<p>However, the italicized text at the top of a monster entry in the <i>Bestiary</i> is not exactly an introduction. You can tell it's different both by its different formatting (being italicized) and by the fact that it's written in a narrative tone rather than a descriptive tone. The "voice" of this text is that of a GM describing to the players what their characters see, not of a manual informing the GM of how the mechanics work. Its purpose is not to summarize, but to provide an example of the mood and tone of a scene in which the monster might appear. It is a narrative suggestion.</p>swoosh wrote:Though that just changes the question to "Is introductory text on monsters and feats irrelevant".

I've been consistently having trouble "getting into" the story, which I originally thought had to do with having not started from the beginning, but as time goes on it doesn't seem to be changing. Maybe just a mismatch of communication styles or something? I'm not sure, but in any case, I'm basically feeling entirely detached and uninvested, and just going through the motions. My spot would be better filled by somebody else, and this spot where you're leveling seems as good a point as any to bring in a replacement.

<p>At a real table, saying something like "everyone roll Perception" works great, because you're done in less than a minute. But in PbP, it means the whole game halts until every single player has had a chance to post. What I typically do in PbPs that I run is to either roll everybody's checks myself and then describe the results (thus losing no momentum whatsoever), or else put the information in spoiler labeled something like "Perception DC 13" so that people who succeed on the check can see and respond to the information without having to wait for everyone else and the GM to resolve everything.</p>

<p>In response to the common assertions that C/MD is merely the result of "magic marts" or GMs being too liberal with access to new spells, I decided to secretly place some extra restrictions on myself. First, the only spells in my spellbook are those gained from leveling up, so that even if the GM is a dick and in 7 levels you never find a single new scroll and never encounter a single settlement where a new spell could be found for scribing and never loot a spellbook with a new spell, you can still do what I did. Second, I crafted all my magic items myself, so that even if the GM never drops any wizard-relevant loot and doesn't have any "magic marts", you can <i>still</i> do what I did.</p>
<p>Additionally, in response to common assertions that C/MD is only a result of there not being enough encounters in a day so that spellcasters are able to "nova" too reliably, I further restricted myself by needing to be as resource-efficient as possible. Of all my daily spell volume (by spell levels per day), I used only 9 out of 41 levels' worth of spells, and consumed 262.5gp worth of consumables. That's about 22% of my daily resources, and about 1% of my WBL. And that's for soloing an encounter with a CR something like 1-2 over my "APL".</p>
<p>Furthermore, continuing in accordance with this idea of a reasonable wizard build, <i>I didn't even build for this fight</i>. If you check out my profile, I actually built very generically, even going so far as to learn and prep spells (and scribe scrolls) that have no relevance to this fight whatsoever (like <i>endure elements</i> or <i>comprehend languages</i>).</p>
<p>So, to sum up:
<br />
A generic and well-rounded wizard,
<br />
Who did not have spell availability catered to him,
<br />
And who did not have access to magic-marts,
<br />
And who only spent a hair more than a fifth of his daily resources,
<br />
Was able to easily solo a CR=level encounter <i>that was specifically built to try and kill the wizard</i>.</p>
<p>And combat is only like 20% of the C/MD.</p>Well, now that I've officially won, I can really drop the bomb:

<p>See, he's a melee cleric, and spent most of his time in combat on the front lines. As such, my spells were mainly spent on self-buffs, and my actions were mainly spent ending fights.</p>
<p>Thanks to being good-aligned, I <i>could</i> cast cure spells spontaneously to heal up my allies. But I didn't; I always had something better to do. When I would talk about this character to people who hadn't played alongside him, I'd catch a lot of flak for not being a healbot. When I wouldn't foot the bill for cure wands for the whole party out of my own share of loot, folks on the boards said I wasn't being a team player. When I said that someone who refused to chip in for healing wands would not be getting my spell slots and actions, I was called a sociopath. And my favorite: after trying to get it through a guy's head that this cleric typically had the best accuracy and AC at the table and therefore I had better contributions to make than casting cure spells, he finally said "Fine! If you're gonna be stingy with healing, then if I'm ever at a table with you, maybe I'll just have my barbarian get behind you and pull out a shortbow while all the enemies fight YOU in melee! Maybe then you'll stop being so selfish and learn some teamwork!"</p>
<p>Meanwhile, in actual gameplay? Folks were always happy with me. Some even <i>literally cheered</i> when they found out I was playing Thomas the Tiefling Hero that day.</p>
<p>Even though I was a cleric who was neither party-buffing nor healing.</p>Redjack_rose wrote:Let me put it very simply for you.

<p>1) <b>Assess the situation.</b> Sometimes it's good to let allies/monsters go first so you know how serious the fight is (or isn't). You'll be sad if you win initiative, cast <i>divine favor</i>, and then watch the fight all but end before your next turn. You'll also be sad if you walk up and take a swing unbuffed, then discover over the course of the first round that you're in way over your head and have to spend your second turn buffing after already wasting your first turn flailing ineffectually. Learn to gauge the threat (Knowledge skills help here, as does judicious use of the Delay option).</p>
<p>2) <b>One and done.</b> Try to only need one round of buffing to get "online". For instance, I would cast <i>divine favor</i> on my first turn, and I was ready. At level 5+, I would capitalize on the duration of <i>heroism</i> (domain spell) to try and have it already running before combat started, and often for more than one combat. Starting at 8th, I could get it going as a swift action, so I always had access to it when I needed it <i>but without spending a round casting it</i>. </p>
<p>3) <b>Forewarned is forearmed.</b> As others have said, mind your durations. I pretty much never got to pre-cast the 1min <i>divine favor</i>, but in any typical "dungeon" type situation, things like <i>heroism</i> get cast before you walk through the front door and last the whole dungeon. Things like <i>life bubble</i> or <i>overland flight</i> get cast at breakfast. The minute-per-level buffs are trickier, but a solid Perception score and good use of divinations can help out a little.</p>
<p>Hope that helps!</p>As a buff-reliant melee cleric played from 1st to 11th in PFS, I'll offer the following advice:

<br />
Just hit 4th level with my human bloodrager (arcane bloodline). Here's what I look like so far:</p>
<p>STR 18 (15 + 2race + 1lvl)
<br />
DEX 14
<br />
CON 14
<br />
INT 10
<br />
WIS 10
<br />
CHA 13</p>
<p>Traits: Indomitable Will, Friend in Every Town</p>
<p>Feats: Improved Initiative, Power Attack, Improved Sunder (also Eschew Materials as a bonus feat)</p>
<p>I have the Spelleater archetype, replacing Uncanny Dodge (and Improved) and my normal DR with getting Fast Healing while raging. Later I'll also be able to "eat" spell slots for some minor, swift-action self-healing.</p>
<p>Anyway, the big thing right now is I need to pick two spells known. With my CHA score, I get 2/day, so I shouldn't pick spells I'll want to cast repeatedly. I also won't have high save DCs (only DC 12 for my 1st-level spells), so "save negates" spells don't seem like a good idea. On the other hand, bloodragers (unlike rangers/paladins) have a full CL instead of level—3, so effects that scale with level are more usable.</p>
<p>So far, I've considered <i>blade lash</i> for some extra combat versatility, <i>burning hands</i> for swarm-killing, <i>feather fall</i> for the occasional "oh crap" moment, <i>shield</i> for tough-looking fights if I don't think my rage-<i>blur</i> will cut it...</p>
<p>I dunno, it seems like there are lots of reasonable options, so I'm having trouble picking. Any thoughts? Thanks!</p>Hey all,

<p>At lower levels, my go-to buff spell was <i>bull's srength</i>, to take me from 16 to 20. That's +2 to attacks and damage (in your case, since you're two-handing, add another +1 to damage). I'd cast that on my first turn unless I either desperately needed to do something else on Round 1 or the fight looked easy enough to handle without it.</p>
<p>Once I hit 6th level (I didn't have Fate's Favored), my <i>divine favor</i>'s bonus reached +2, making it equivalent in power to <i>bull's strength</i> but for just a 1st-level slot. Thus, I started preparing about 3/day of that, and never prepped another <i>bull's strength</i>. (It was also about this time that I picked up my STR belt.)</p>
<p>Now, I also had the advantage of having the Heroism domain: this means I had <i>heroism</i> as a 3rd-level domain spell, and starting at 8th I could also get it as a swift action aura. So I'd either have it pre-cast (10min/level duration is nice) or if I was caught unprepared I could dip into my aura rounds. Either way, I was getting another +2 to hit without spending another round buffing.</p>
<p>You won't have that.</p>
<p>As a result, I highly recommend putting your level-based stat bumps in STR so you can take it higher than I did. You probably don't want to spend 2 rounds buffing, and you don't have <i>heroism</i> on your list anyway. Thus, you'll want higher STR, and probably Weapon Focus if possible. </p>
<p>So in a nutshell:
<br />
• Get used to 1-round buffing as SOP (BullSTR thru 5th level, then DF)
<br />
• Pump your STR (level bumps, belt by 6th level)
<br />
• Take Weapon Focus</p>In case it helps, I was a melee cleric who also started with 16 STR, so my experience may be useful:

<p>Just hit 3rd level in PFS, and I'm looking for some advice on feat selection. Here's my build so far:
<br />

<br />

<br />
.
<br />
Human (Varisian)
<br />
STR 17
<br />
DEX 14
<br />
CON 14
<br />
INT 10
<br />
WIS 10
<br />
CHA 13</p>
<p>Bloodrager 3 (Spelleater archetype)</p>
<p>Traits: Friend in Every Town (+1Diplo/class skill), Indomitable Will (+1 Will)</p>
<p>Feats: Improved Initiative, Power Attack</p>
<p>Bloodline: Arcane</p>
<p>I fight with a longsword; I can two-hand for the same damage bonuses as a two-hander, but I'm not hosed if I get grappled or need to fight while carrying a macguffin or whatever.</p>
<p><span class=messageboard-ooc>(You can also click my name to get an idea of my concept/backstory.)</span></p>
<p>I'm planning on my first bloodline feat being Iron Will. And once I get an item to boost my CON (possibly an ioun stone, since I'll want my belt in STR), I'll spend my next feat on Raging Vitality, which I don't currently qualify for. That'll likely be at 7th level.</p>
<p>So for right now, here's what I'm considering:
<br />
<b>Cosmopolitan</b>: Grabbing a couple of languages and class skills could help make him more versatile. But which skills would I pick?
<br />
<b>Toughness</b>: Make up for not having the d12 HD that normally comes with the rage penalty to AC.
<br />
<b>Steadfast Personality</b>: Extra buffer on those Will saves (at least, the ones that really count). Only +1 at the moment, but will scale up a bit.</p>
<p>Thoughts? Thanks!</p>Hello all,

<p>I certainly agree it's <i>good</i>, but the +1 AC/Ref/Att is negligible, and the extra move speed is only situationally useful (basically only when the enemy is more than 1 move away AND there's no charge lane). That leaves the extra attack, which only happens on a full-attack. That means it only benefits martials, and only once or twice per combat. That means the value of it depends on the result of one attack per martial per round being stronger than anything else I could have done with my first action.</p>
<p>How many new attacks does that spell have to produce to be more powerful than other things I could have spent my turn on? Say there's one martial in the party. That means that for every full-attack he makes, my action has been worth one attack from him. That means that my <i>haste</i> is really just a blasting spell that deals damage equal to the martial's damage-per-attack times the number of extra attacks I give him, minus his chance of missing. How many attacks do I need to generate before the damage becomes worth the slot and the action?</p>Skyler Malik wrote:Haste is the best spell in the game

<p>It's definitely on my short-list. Thing is, there's this sort of circular phenomenon: you don't know who you'll be at a table with, so your <i>haste</i>'s biggest benefit (the extra attack) could be helping as few as 1 PC. As a result, usually a wizard might prep 1 slot for when it looks like an especially good fight for it, and spontaneous casters don't learn it (except bards, who seem rare locally). And then the martials, since they have no guarantee they'll be sitting with a wizard, and even if they do they might get just 1 <i>haste</i> that day, they just go ahead and buy <i>boots of speed</i>. Which in turn means even less incentive for me to learn <i>haste</i>, which means more incentive for them to get the boots, etc. So where does that leave me?</p>

<p>Thanks </blockquote><p>The cleric is an interesting class; unlike many (most?) classes, it doesn't "build itself", with most characters of that class being pretty similar with just a few outliers.
<p>I mean, if you play a fighter, your class pretty much tells you "You're going to hit things with weapons". There's mostly just two fighters: melee and archery; then if you want to be different you could do maneuvers or something.</p>
<p>Or if you're a wizard, your BAB prohibits you from being an effective weapon-user without trying really, really hard. Mostly all you do is cast spells, with most of your decision-making centering around what spells you decide to cast. (And even then, there's essentially two categories: buffing and offense.)</p>
<p>But the cleric? The cleric's base chassis sits in the middle of everything, without pushing you in one direction. You have medium BAB, so maybe you hit things, maybe not. You have medium armor, so maybe you stand in the front, maybe not. You have variable weapon proficiencies (based on deity), so maybe you can deal some damage, maybe not. You have a spell list with a mix of offense, defense, buffing, utility... And then there's domain powers...</p>
<p>The cleric can be built more different ways than almost any other class. <i>One</i> of those ways is "healer", but that's in no way a default. There IS no default cleric.</p>
<p>I was at a level 10-11 session just yesterday where I was one of THREE clerics in the party (alongside a barbarian, a fighter, and a gunslinger), and not a single one of us was a healer. Being clerics meant we COULD heal, but we weren't HEALERS. The best healing any of us could do was just cast a vanilla healing spell with no bells or whistles.</p>
<p>All three of us consistently had better things to do in combat than to heal anybody. For instance, I <i>dismissed</i> some demons, I trumped some magical darkness with my Nimbus of Light domain power, attacked things at +18/+13 for 1d8+17, and so forth. The others used Versatile Channeling to blast enemies (when there were large groups), or cast buff spells on everybody, etc.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that none of us was staunchly against EVER healing in combat. I myself had <i>heal</i> prepared and was carrying two scrolls of <i>breath of life</i>. Totally would have used them (or even spontaneous cures) if at any time that had looked like the most helpful thing I could do to help the team succeed.</p>
<p>It never was. I finished the scenario with that <i>heal</i> still prepped, and those scrolls still intact.</p>
<p>I'm 11th level, played up from 1st, and in all that time I can think of exactly ONE combat in which the thing to do was heal. And in that combat, I was healing myself as I tanked an alchemist on a ledge, keeping him busy until the rest of the party could get through the mooks and climb up to help.</p>
<p>One time, in 10 levels of play. Because despite being a cleric, <i>I'm not a healer</i>. Cleric =/= Healer. A cleric <i>could choose to be a healer</i>, and I've met a pretty effective one, but a cleric is only the thing he's built to be, and just like any other character, any option outside that purpose is going to be a backup option. </p>

<p><b>5. What do you love? (Treasure and experience doesn’t count)</b>

My twin sister Reese, my glorious canine grace, and my rapier. The rapier matches my sister's, and is the only significant possession I still had when we finally gave up on the circus and joined the Pathfinders.</p>
<p><b>6. What do you hate? (Unclear and irritating darkness level rules don’t count)</b>

<p><b>8. How does your race influence your views? Are you a stereotype of a certain race? How are you different from most humans/elves/gnomes/orcs/tengu?</b>
<br />
I've only met a couple of other kitsune; none quite as fantastic as myself, but at least better than all the baldhides.</p>
<p><b>9. What are you afraid of? Do you have any phobias or worries?</b>
<br />
Getting stuck in human form. O_O</p>
<p><b>10. What is your most treasured possession?</b>
<br />
See above about my trusty rapier. It got even more "treasured" when I spontaneously lost my ability to reliably cast spells without grasping it. :/</p>1. Why are you a Pathfinder?
My circus act didn't go as well as planned; enlisting in the Society seemed a step better than begging.
2. Do you have a name and surname that is not ripped straight out of existing Earth mythology or popular culture?
As far as I know.
3. Which nation did you grow up in? How did this nation influence you?
Varisia. Folks don't properly appreciate a good fox-man acrobatics act. Clearly I'm beyond them.

<br />
This profile is my 2nd-level PFS cleric. The concept is a bit of a cerebral type, interested in knowledge and learning and secrets and such. Likes to find stuff out.</p>
<p>He's more of a reader/learner than a fighter. But of course, combat is inevitable. The plan is to focus on spellcasting rather than weapons, which will be fine later, but right now I get 3 non-domain spells per day.</p>
<p>With a wizard or sorcerer, I could be spamming <i>ray of frost</i> or <i>daze</i> or something. But I get no such cantrips as a cleric. I could have taken one of the domains that gives you a laserbeam 3+WIS/day, but I didn't.</p>
<p>So that leaves me with a crossbow. :/</p>
<p>Here's a rundown of the character at the moment:</p>
<p>STR 09 (11-2)
<br />
DEX 14 (12+2)
<br />
CON 12
<br />
INT 14
<br />
WIS 18 (16+2)
<br />
CHA 10</p>
<p>Domains: Knowledge (Memory), Trickery
<br />
Traits: Seeker, Birthmark
<br />
Feats: Toughness</p>
<p>My ultimate issue here is figuring out what to spend my actions on in combat at low levels. Later I'll be casting SoS spells (<i>hold person, sound burst, plane shift</i>, etc) all day, but what about for right now?</p>
<p>Obviously, I'm not hitting anything with my crossbow. I could stand behind people and spam <i>guidance</i>, but that's gonna get boring a couple levels in. I could get a wand/some scrolls of <i>bless</i>, but that really only gives me something to do on round 1. Maybe run around buffing people with a wand of <i>shield of faith</i>? By the time people have their rings, I won't be needing a fallback plan as much, so maybe that would work? Or are there some interesting (perhaps alchemical?) items I could be using? Not counting situational stuff like anti-invisibility measures or whatever, I'm looking for bread-and-butter actions.</p>
<p>Ideas?</p>Seeking some advice.

<p>That which happens in combat has nothing to do with wand usage and is therefore outside the scope of what I said I'd do in place of wand usage.</p>
<p>Context is a thing. The meaning of words depends on their context. If I say "I am not a gorilla", it would be a true statement that I said the words "I am a gorilla".

<p>In combat (just about the only time someone with a cleric's wisdom would consider using spells instead of wands), if a well-placed healing spell seems to be the best tactical option at the moment, that's what I'll do, no matter who it is.</p>
<p><i>After</i> combat, when we're patching up, I won't "substitute" my spells/channels for their lack of a wand. (As an aside, if someone's only healing wand is <i>infernal healing</i> but I'm the only one who can activate it, I will actually <b>voluntarily</b> use my own wand on them instead.)</p>
<div class="messageboard-quotee">Quote:</div><blockquote>What would you say to a fighter who refused to attack the monster that was attacking your character? What if the fighter says "You didn't buy me a magic sword, so you don't deserve to have that monster attacked!"</blockquote><p>I'd probably say something like "Sorry, what was that? I couldn't hear you over the sound of me killing the monsters."
<p>Just because I'm a cleric doesn't mean I'm a healer. "Healer" is not my role. I'm a tank. And a spellcaster. And a diplomat. And a scholar of more than one topic. But I'm no more a "healer" than Valeros, Ezren, or Lem.</p>
<div class="messageboard-quotee">Quote:</div><blockquote>I can understand and respect the argument that the healer shouldn't have to spend charges from his own wand to heal other people, even if that's not the approach I take with my own characters. But refusing to <i>cast spells</i> to support the party's mission? That's going way too far. </blockquote><p>Couple of things here:
</p>
First, if you think "won't spend all my spells on healing" equals "won't cast spells to support the party's mission", you've apparently never opened up the "spell lists" section of your Core Rulebook. Which spells should I be sacrificing for cures? The <i>invisibility purge</i>? Your healing could cause a TPK if we meet the wrong baddie in the next fight. Maybe <i>communal resist energy</i>? Because 3d8+11 on just you is better than 20 per person per round, right? Nobody was complaining when I <i>dismissed</i> one of the three dancing vrocks, or when I was carrying around a <i>silence</i> in the middle of a harpy attack, or when I <i>stone shape</i>'d a hole through a stone wall that was trapping a single party member with a monster he couldn't handle on his own. The list goes on. Outside of certain critical emergencies, most cleric spells are far more useful to support the party's mission than are the cures they could be swapped for.</p>
<p>Second, again, I didn't say I would never cast cure spells. I said I wouldn't use them all up to make up for someone not bringing a wand. That's a pretty big difference.</p>

I've played parts 1 and 2, so there are 2 sessions left. I've got about 12,000gp or so to spend, and I've also now made it to 13th level. Here's a rundown of my current situation, as best I can remember it:</p>

<p>Gear:
<br />
Headband INT +4
<br />
Belt of STR/DEX/CON +2
<br />
Jingasa of the fortunate soldier
<br />
Cloak of Resistance +2
<br />
+4 mithral breastplate
<br />
Amulet of Natural Armor +3
<br />
Ring of Protection +2
<br />
Dusty rose prism ioun stone for +1 AC (insight)
<br />
Ioun stone for +1 attack (competence)
<br />
Ioun stone for +1 to saves (competence)
<br />
Wayfinder + Clear spindle ioun stone (immune to mind control ala PfE)
<br />
Gloves of Reconnaissance
<br />
Adamantine longsword
<br />
Lesser Extend Rod
<br />
2x Pearl of Power I
<br />
3x Snapleaf</p>
<p>That's all I can remember. Note the lack of a magic weapon, because I use an Extended <i>greater magic weapon</i> to keep my adamantine longsword at +3 for 24 hours a day. I also extend a <i>darkvision</i> all day, and save the third Extend for when I decide to cast <i>heroism</i>, making it last 4 hours.</p>
<p>I also don't have a shield; typically, if it looks like I'll be fighting in melee, I cast <i>shield</i> first, taking my AC to 37 total. </p>
<p>Now, throughout my first 11 levels of play, the key to this EK has been versatility: since table make-ups are random, it's nice to be able to slide into whichever of the tank, caster, or Knowledge roles happens to be missing. However, I'm now planning on another two sessions with a single group. With that in mind, I feel like I should maybe specialize a little more...?</p>
<p>There's a gunslinger/inquisitor (awesome damage from range, Sense Motive, Survival), a zen archer (awesome damage from range), a druid (casting focused, plus celestial tiger companion), and a wizard (uber damage from range via crossblooded dip and CL boosts, and most Knowledge skills about 7-12 points higher than mine).</p>
<p>As you may have noticed, I'm a mostly-CRB generalist in a stable party of expansion-reliant specialists. This means most of the time, my main contributions have been to supply additional slots of group buffs (like <i>communal resist energy</i>).</p>
<p>If I want to just do damage, I have to spend a round getting into melee (plus either a single attack or a <i>shield</i>, unless I had to double move), during which time the three DPR machines who <i>don't</i> have to move first have been able to spew out around 70-100 damage apiece with full-attacks or spells. On the other hand, my spell save DCs are only so-so, since I don't have the 26 INT that a devoted caster would have. </p>
<p>Hitting 13th level now, I have some options.</p>
<p>First, I could take Power Attack, taking my usual melee damage from +15 to +24. That seems like it could help, but I'll also take -3 to hit, taking me from +20 to +17. At 13th level, that feels a bit low. <i>Heroism</i> helps, but that's not a sure thing.</p>
<p>I guess I could take maybe a level of barbarian instead of EK at 13th, so that when I do attack in melee I can rage for an extra +2 attack and +3 damage. With Power Attack, this would put me at +19 (or +21 if I have <i>heroism</i> up) for 1d8+27. Seems nice, but that also means I don't get 6th-level spells this level. Or rather, I don't get my <i>one</i> 6th-level spell.</p>
<p>Alternatively, I could just say "Screw it, I'm a wizard" and take Persistent Spell, helping to make up for low-ish DCs on some key spells.</p>
<p>Or maybe there's some other option, via spell selections, feat selection, or spending 12k gold?</p>
<p>Any advice welcome, thanks!</p>This EK has hit retirement levels in PFS, and has started playing through the "Eyes of the Ten" retirement arc.

<p>That's all I can remember. Note the lack of a magic weapon, because I use an Extended <i>greater magic weapon</i> to keep my adamantine longsword at +3 for 24 hours a day. I also extend a <i>darkvision</i> all day, and save the third Extend for when I decide to cast <i>heroism</i>, making it last 4 hours.</p>
<p>I also don't have a shield; typically, if it looks like I'll be fighting in melee, I cast <i>shield</i> first, taking my AC to 36 total. </p>
<p>Now, throughout my first 11 levels of play, the key to this EK has been versatility: since table make-ups are random, it's nice to be able to slide into whichever of the tank, caster, or Knowledge roles happens to be missing. However, I'm now planning on another three sessions with a single group. With that in mind, I feel like I should maybe specialize a little more...?</p>
<p>Right now I'm the only melee/tank in the group (the rest includes a casting-focused druid, a blaster wizard with a 1-level crossblooded dip for damage arcanas, a zen archer, and a gunslinger/inquisitor). As such, I was thinking of maybe upping my AC some more so I can last longer soaking hits. Additionally/alternatively, maybe some nifty consumables or X/day items that could help me deal with weird situations? I dunno. I feel a little lost, having never played at this level before. Also I could probably stand to upgrade my cloak of resistance a bit...</p>
<p>Help?</p>This EK has hit 12th level in PFS, and has started playing through the "Eyes of the Ten" retirement arc. I've played part 1, so there are 3 sessions left. I've got just over 20,000gp at the moment, and I'm trying to decide what to buy. Here's a rundown of my current situation, as best I can remember it:

<p>I died in the first big encounter. I, er, misjudged the state of affairs. See, there were all these big threats in the main room, and I was injured enough that I was considering retreating anyway, and then we heard screams from the armory.</p>
<p>I thought, "Oh, I bet there's a thief in there, who's relying on all the combatants being busy here because he's not the sort who wants to be anywhere near combat; I'm not going to last much longer in <i>this</i> fight, but I could take somebody like that out, and no one else has the means to get there in time to stop him. I'll just <i>dimension door</i> in, take out the noncombatant thief, then return to see if there's a way I can help finish the actual battle."</p>
<p>Um, yeah. Didn't turn out that way. I got <i>lightning bolt</i>'d and <i>bead of force</i>'d before I could even announce what I saw. Dead as a doornail.</p>
<p>Did you know that when you come back with <i>raise dead</i>, each spell you have prepared has a 50% chance of being lost? Unless you're really unlucky like me, and it's more like 80%.

If you click my name, you can get an idea of how I looked at 10th.</p>
<p>The quick run-down is that I'm a flexible, versatile combatant. With a high AC and some buffs, I can do frontline melee with just one round of buffing (<i>divine favor</i>) if it looks like it'll be that type of fight. </p>
<p>I also carry a <i>dismissal</i> or two because I've got kind of a demon-hunter thing going on. My save DCs are neither spectacular nor atrocious (20 WIS), but it's nice when it works. Similarly, I usually have a couple of <i>plane shifts</i> chambered for taking out a big beefy monster with uber STR/CON but a crappy Will save. Again, far from guaranteed, but it's saved the party's bacon more than once by using it on the right kind of target.</p>
<p>The rest of my spells are mostly problem-solvers, like <i>invisibility purge, air walk, stone shape</i>, etc.</p>
<p>So! Now I need a feat to use for my final 3 sessions. Again, you can click my name for more details, including existing feats.</p>
<p>Some feats I've thought of:</p>
<p>• Quicken Spell - Is getting that round 1 <i>divine favor</i> off as a swift action worth a 5th-level spell slot? Seems like most of the time it's not an issue to spend a round casting it, but once in a while it's a pain.
<br />
• Persistent Spell - Using a 6th-level slot for a Persistent <i>dismissal</i> seems like a good way to take out a high-profile demon.
<br />
• Improved Critical (longsword) - Threatening on a 17 doesn't sound half bad.</p>
<p>That's all that's come to mind so far. Any other suggestions, or does one of those seem good?</p>I've just hit 11th level in PFS with this tiefling melee cleric of Iomedae. If you click my name, you can get an idea of how I looked at 10th.

<p>Anyway, 12th level for me is my 5th level of Eldritch Knight, which means I get a bonus combat feat. I'm having a little trouble deciding what it should be, though.</p>
<p>Here are my ideas so far:
<br />
• <b>Power Attack</b> - Would take my typical damage bonus from +15 to +24, but would take my typical attack bonus from +18 to +15, which feels a little low for this level. I try to typically have an Extended <i>heroism</i> up when expecting trouble, but that's not guaranteed. But even with that, my Power Attack swing would be +17 to hit. Is that acceptable at 12th level?
<br />
• <b>Improved Critical</b> - It would be for a longsword; is going from 19-20 to 17-20 worth the feat slot?
<br />
• <b>Lunge</b> - For when I'm spending a couple rounds going toe-to-toe with a Large creature and want to then be able to 5ft step back and cast safely.
<br />
• <b>Blind-Fight</b> - On the other hand, I can have Extended <i>darkvision</i> running 24 hours a day, and always have <i>see invisibility</i> prepped, so...?
<br />
• <b>Vital Strike</b> - For a little damage boost when I'm flying in and making one attack.</p>

I thought back to what my friend Thomas told me about racism and judging people by appearances, and so I decided I'd give her the benefit of the doubt. Turns out she's had a really rough life, but I think she's managed to stay really sweet, all things considered. She just needs a friend! So I decided I'm going to take care of her.</p>
<p>I knew she'd get some looks from people when we brought her back out into the world, and I knew that would hurt her. Plus, Thomas says that if enough people treat you like you're already a monster, it makes it really hard not to become one, and I didn't want that to happen to my friend. So I walked next to her, in my best dress, and made it very clear to everyone that she was with me. I had to glare at a few people, but overall I think it went okay.</p>
<p>The healers at the Grand Lodge said it would take a while for her to recover from everything she's been through, so I'm letting her crash at my place for as long as she needs. I introduced my new roomie to Thomas, and he's totally sympathetic to her situation. He's even offered to help with the restorative magic at his own expense!</p>
<p>Someday, when she's feeling better and is a little more at peace, I'll help her find a new job and get back on her feet. I guess that means she'll eventually move out on her own; I'll be sad to have her leave, but it would probably be best for her and that's what's important to me. </p>
<p>But I'm getting ahead of myself! Right now, what matters is helping her get better. She's looking healthier each day, and she's really starting to brighten up a bit. She has such a beautiful laugh! She has some hard days sometimes, especially when people are mean to her when we go out. But it's getting better! Most of her face looks normal now, and the rest can be mostly hidden by her clothes. She's still a little scared to go out by herself, I can still see her confidence growing day by day.</p>
<p>I know she'll get all better someday. :)</p>At first Valais was a little scary, but the paladin said she wasn't evil.

<br />
I just hit 6th level, and have a couple of decisions to make. I'm getting my first 3rd-level spell, and I'm also spending my human FCB on another 2nd-level spell.</p>
<p>I don't really know what I want to do with the 2nd-level spell. For the 3rd, I'm considering eventually having <i>fly, lightning bolt</i> (I get a damage bonus on electricity), <i>dispel magic,</i> maybe <i>stinking cloud</i> and/or <i>slow</i>, maybe <i>haste</i>. But I don't know what to pick •first•.</p>
<p>If you click my name you can see what I already have (also my stats). In case it makes a difference for people's suggestions, I'm a friendly-and-casual NG sort of character.</p>

Since I already have an AoE blind effect in burst of radiance, I'm planning to skip it and just carry scrolls for anti-invisibility.

For context, here's a quick rundown of some key details:</p>
<p>CHA 23 (including headband)
<br />
Human
<br />
Wildblooded archetype, Elemental (Primal [Electricity]) bloodline
<br />
Spell Focus/Varisian Tattoo (Evocation)
<br />
Planning on Eldritch Heritage (Arcane) at 7th (using a bloodline feat to qualify)</p>
<p>Spells known as of 4th level:
<br />
Level 1:
<br />
Magic missile
<br />
Silent image
<br />
Protection from evil
<br />
Mage armor
<br />
Burning hands (bloodline, always deals electrical damage)</p>
<p>Level 2:
<br />
Burst of radiance (from Champions of Purity)</p>
<p>So now that I'm hitting 5th level, I get two 1st-level spells (one from the Spells Known chart, one from FCB), my 2nd-level bloodline spell (scorching ray, but electric), and one 2nd-level spell of my choice. I plan to spend all FCBs from here on out on spells known.</p>
<p>I'm having trouble deciding on my 2nd-level spell. I already have damage and blindness capability, so something a little different seems good. I've been thinking of pilfering hand (which I know I'll take at some point, I just don't know if I want a different spell first). I'm also wondering about web, pyrotechnics, and hideous laughter. Before you say it, I'm staying away from pit spells for thematic reasons (and because I'm a little tired of them).</p>
<p>So, suggestions/reasonings/arguments/cautions? Thanks!</p>Hello all, I've just hit 5th level as a sorceress in PFS, and I'm not sure what new 2nd-level spell to learn. For context, here's a quick rundown of some key details:

<br />
<div class="messageboard-quotee">The rules wrote:</div><blockquote><p><b><span class=messageboard-bigger>Draw or Sheathe a Weapon</span></b>
</p>
Drawing a weapon so that you can use it in combat, or putting it away so that you have a free hand, requires a move action. This action also applies to weapon-like objects carried in easy reach, such as wands. If your weapon or weapon-like object is stored in a pack or otherwise out of easy reach, treat this action as retrieving a stored item.</p>
<p>If you have a base attack bonus of +1 or higher, you may draw a weapon as a free action combined with a regular move. If you have the Two-Weapon Fighting feat, you can draw two light or one-handed weapons in the time it would normally take you to draw one.</blockquote><p>When the second sentence opens with "This action", it is referring to the titular "Draw or Sheathe a Weapon" action which has just been defined in the immediately-preceding sentence (the first sentence of the first paragraph). Thus, "Draw or Sheathe a Weapon" refers to the action of drawing or sheathing a weapon or weapon-like object.
<p>Now, the divergence of interpretation happens in the second paragraph. The first sentence of that paragraph refers to drawing a weapon. There are two ways to read this. One is that this continues to refer to the titular action, which has already been defined as including things like wands. The other is that this reference to drawing a weapon is separate from the titular action, and is therefore not attached to anything that was established in the first paragraph (such as the inclusion of weapon-like objects).</p>
<p>Which is correct? The former. If the latter were correct, then that would mean that we have two separate "draw a weapon" actions which function differently and affect different sets of objects, yet are also placed under the same header with each other and share an entry on the AoO chart. The former interpretation does not face these problems, and is therefore correct.</p>Let's break this down:

I'm playing a sorceress in PFS and just hit 3rd level. I'm not quite sure what feat to take. Here's some basic info, to get started:</p>
<p>Human Sorcerer 3
<br />
Bloodline: Elemental (Primal [electricity])
<br />
STR 07
<br />
DEX 12
<br />
CON 14
<br />
INT 10
<br />
WIS 10
<br />
CHA 20
<br />
Traits: Reactionary, World Traveler (diplomacy)
<br />
Feats: Toughness, Improved Initiative
<br />
1st-level Spells Known: <i>silent image</i>, <i>sleep</i> (to be swapped out at 4th), <i>burning hands</i> (bloodline spell; always deals electricity damage), <i>mage armor</i> (at least probably)</p>
<p>I'm going for something of a generalist; I picked the Primal bloodline largely because it doesn't force me into a specific niche and it boosts the viability of the handful of blasting spells I'd want to have on hand anyway.</p>
<p>So for my 3rd-level feat, I've had some folks recommend Spell Focus (evocation), to be followed at 5th with Varisian Tattoo. However, I get the feeling that this suggestions is born of an erroneous assumption that I'm trying to be a focused blaster, so I'm having trouble judging if that's a good idea for the generalist I'm trying to make. (Speaking of which, starting at 4th I'll be spending my FCBs on extra spells known, for extra versatility.)</p>
<p>I'm thinking of doing Spell Penetration at some point, and possibly Greater. I was also thinking maybe some basic metamagic, like maybe Silent and/or Still to cover potentially sticky situations later.</p>
<p>Any suggestions (that don't involve starting over with a new PC, or trashing my generalist goal) are appreciated. Thanks!</p>Hello, all! I'm playing a sorceress in PFS and just hit 3rd level. I'm not quite sure what feat to take. Here's some basic info, to get started:

<p>Similarly, people often "read" by simply skimming over a portion of text. They don't <i>realize</i> that they've only skimmed, because any "holes" created by the lack of thoroughness in their reading gets filled in by their brains with whatever they expect or assume would be there. This is the same phenomenon which allows yuo to raed thsi phraes despite it containing only one actual word. (Incidentally, this is also the source of a lot of messageboard conflicts involving "if you had actually read my post" and "I <i>did</i> read it!" and "stop putting words in my mouth" and so forth.)</p>
<p>Now combine those two paragraphs: a sentence clearly states something, but one or more persons read it too sloppily and only caught a couple of key nouns and the word "as". Their brains filled in the rest with assumptions/expectations based on what they already know about topics related to the few words they actually read, and a conclusion was reached that is contrary to what is actually stated in the text.</p>
<p>That is how the misunderstanding originates.</p>Cheapy wrote:I'm not entirely sure where people are seeing that they function as the paladin's mount for everything.

With <i>darkness</i> having used the former rather than the latter, we can conclude that the light level within the radius of a darkness effect is not increased by nonmagical sources of light, regardless of where the sources are. (The parameters of the area are applied to the action of increasing the light level, not applied to the light sources themselves.) For the same reason (the parameter of area being applied solely to the effect of preventing light level increase), we can further conclude that the effect of preventing the increase of a light level is limited to the defined area, and therefore a light source will continue to affect lighting conditions outside the area.</p>Darkness wrote:Nonmagical sources of light, such as torches and lanterns, do not increase the light level in an area of darkness.

</blockquote>See, the thing is that the stuff you're talking about (Improved Trip and Improved Disarm) is just fine and is interesting, but also has nothing to do with Combat Expertise and Combat Expertise itself contributes little to nothing of interest to play. You can have exciting, fun characters with Combat Expertise, but all that Combat Expertise is doing is serving as a speed bump in front of the exciting, fun combat styles you actually were building the character towards. </blockquote><p>The post of mine that you quoted was largely in reply to someone's earlier assertion that even the stuff with CE as a prereq was worthless. It wasn't meant as a defense of CE itself.
<p>As to your own stance, I've mentioned in later posts that I actually <i>do</i> make use of the feat itself, not just the later feats. Sometimes my odds of hitting are high enough that I'd rather have the AC bonus. In fact, CE actually synergizes well with Improved Disarm/Trip, as I can get my maneuver bonuses much higher than my attack bonus, and I'm often aiming at a lower target number as well. Sometimes I only fail on a 1, and then only fail on a 3 or worse with CE, so I go for it.</p>

<p>How does this sound for feats:</p>
<p>1: Combat Expertise, Improved Trip, Power Attack
<br />
2: Improved Disarm
<br />
3: Fury's Fall
<br />
4: Cleave
<br />
5: Improved Bull Rush
<br />
6: Greater Trip
<br />
7: Shield Focus
<br />
8: Lightning Reflexes </blockquote><p>A couple of things:
<p>First, Lightning Reflexes is not a combat feat, so you'd have to take it as a normal feat at an odd-numbered level, not at 8th.</p>
<p>Second, I <i>highly</i> recommend Second Chance as your feat at 6th. A botched disarm costs you your weapon. A botched trip either knocks you down or costs you your weapon. Power Attack and Combat Expertise give you penalties to hit. Second Chance makes all of those facts virtually non-issues.</p>
<p>Second Chance lets you re-roll a missed first attack (on a full-attack action) by giving up your remaining attacks. Since you're not using TWF, that means you're giving up a single -5 attack to re-roll your full-BAB attack. In PFS, that feat turns about 1-5 misses into hits every session. It's really good.</p>OmegaZ wrote:@Cledwyn the Steadfast: You've got a point with the buckler vs. light shield point, but in that case I may as well go for a heavy wooden shield to start with for the +2 AC, since I'm not shield bashing with it.

One of my best moments using it was when the party was facing a nasty bipedal monster with claw/claw/rend/heat (don't know what it was called). My CMB for tripping was high enough that the attack penalty wasn't an issue (plus the Second Chance feat acted as extra insurance), and the +3 AC (combined with his -4 to hit from being prone all the time) made it extremely unlikely he'd hit with both claws (going from needing a 13 or better to hit to needing a 20 to hit is a HUGE change).

What do you all think?</p>
<p></blockquote><p>Well, I'm a Druid (Menhir Savant) with the Caves subdomain instead of an animal companion.
<p>Level 1 is always rough for a spellcaster. Don't be afraid to use a sling (and make sure you know the eratta on Heirloom Weapon!). <i>Magic stone</i> is a deceptively good low-level spell, especially if you have a little STR and/or are fighting undead.</p>
<p>Once you get a caster level or two under your belt, <i>produce flame</i> can give you multiple 120ft attacks per casting (against touch AC, even). </p>
<p>Your ranged options just go up from there, with not all of them requiring attack rolls. You have a fantastic spell list. </p>
<p>So I wouldn't even worry about archery feats; by the time you hit 3rd level, your spells/attacks will either not use attack rolls or be targeting touch AC anyway.</p>BltzKrg242 wrote:So I want to be a support character and I opted for the Domain/spells versus an animal companion, and chose fire since I want to back row.

<p>Yeah, that's not great... On the other hand, at least in PFS, lots of enemies are humanoids who don't have 27 STR. So lots of 8th-level opponents will have CMDs closer to 24 or less, so the 7th level rogue with 16 DEX needs to roll an 11 or better, possibly less.</p>

</p>
• Can always take 10 (this one you know)
<br />
• +8 racial bonus to climb checks (making my T10 into a 26 instead of an 18 - that's two whole tiers of DCs that I can auto-succeed on that I would otherwise need above-average rolls for)
<br />
• Don't lose DEX bonus to AC while climbing - kind of came in handy against the harpies, don't you think?
<br />
• Can move 20ft per move action instead of 5ft per move action - how is that not a big deal?</p>

The duration is 1 round/level (so 2 rounds in this challenge) and makes you fall 60ft/rd.

<p>Or you could try to climb down 30' before casting, but unless you have something else going on as well, you're looking at 5' per successful climb check, two checks per round - and you have to make a climb check or fall each time you take damage from the harpies.</p>
<div class="messageboard-quotee">Quote:</div><blockquote>Could we get the entire story? </blockquote><p>•straightens up and smiles•
<p>Why yes; yes you could!</p>
<p>I was traveling with a caravan through a canyon. All but one of us gets hypnotized by a harpy's song for a few rounds, after which the one who made his save informs us that a harpy swooped down, grabbed a servant boy from the caravan, and took him a couple of hundred feet up to a cave. </p>
<p>I grab the ranger's periscope and tell them I'll go up and take a peek all sneaky-like, then come back down and we can decide what to do. Except when I get 150' up, two harpies come out of their cave (fortunately, one had a sore throat and couldn't sing, and I'd already been affected by the other's song and therefore couldn't be again).</p>
<p>They start attacking, and I start climbing down (doing nothing but climb). I finish my climb in single-digit HP, but standing. The party engages the harpies, including me shooting with a shortbow from solid ground.</p>
<p>So your bard or ranger has to (with your bare hands, like me - no climber's kit) climb 150' feet up a rock face, then get to the bottom while being attacked by two harpies (they attack no one else, and no one else assists you) and land on your feet with HP left over.</p>

Mostly the CHA issue: I dumped CHA to get my physical stats where I wanted them, but people were saying that a rogue with less than 14 CHA isn't a rogue. If I wanted that 14 CHA, I would have to lower something else - which affects how focused I am on other things. And investing ranks/feats in UMD with 7 CHA doesn't count as "focusing" on both, you know?
<p>It's like people have this idea that in order to be a rogue, you have to do something like this:
<br />
STR 10
<br />
DEX 18
<br />
CON 12
<br />
INT 14
<br />
WIS 08
<br />
CHA 14
<br />
...and then they complain about their lousy DPR and abysmal Will save. Then I come along and suggest this:
<br />
STR 16
<br />
DEX 16
<br />
CON 15
<br />
INT 12
<br />
WIS 10
<br />
CHA 07
<br />
...and they say I'm not a rogue anymore. Then I tell them they can't have my physical stats and their mental stats at the same time and they conclude that the rogue must suck.</p>
<p>I agree with you that you don't need a lot of investment for a rogue to be a skill monkey (you could dump INT and still be doing pretty well).</p>
<p>I also agree with you that UMD isn't that important for a rogue.</p>
<p>The point I'm trying to make is that a lot of the "rogues suck" sentiment is based on an assumption that a rogue needs to invest a lot in skills and CHA. They see <i>that</i> rogue sucking, dismiss anything different as not being rogues in the first place, and then conclude that rogues in general (of which their own assumptions are the only accepted examples) must suck.</p>hogarth wrote:J.J., Agent of the Decemvirate wrote: hogarth wrote: J.J., Agent of the Decemvirate wrote: For instance, people seem to want a rogue to simultaneously be a DPR monkey, a skill monkey, and a UMD monkey.

<p>Too many monkeys!</p>
<p>A rogue can be a UMD monkey. He can be a DPR monkey (well, that one's debatable). He can be a skill monkey. But not all at the same time!</p>
<p>If you want a DPR monkey, dump CHA (sacrificing UMD) and leave INT and WIS low-ish to focus on STR with DEX and CON as secondaries. For talents, pick things like Weapon Training and Combat Trick. Now you're very like a fighter, only with the possibility of sneak attack and (even if you dump INT) more skills.</p>
<p>If you want a UMD monkey, you need a higher CHA (sacrificing stat points elsewhere) and to spend less money on armor/weapons.</p>
<p>If you want a skill monkey, you need higher INT and probably still decent CHA (depending on the skills you want).</p>
<p>Me? I'm a melee-capable action man who doesn't out-DPR a barbarian but can still hit for 1d8+3 at level 2 without sneak attack. Meanwhile, I can sneak, tumble, swim, or do anything else I need to overcome obstacles. In fact, I once climbed down a 150' cliff with my bare hands while being fly-by attacked by a pair of harpies and reached the ground in one piece. Show me the ranger who can do that at level 2!</p>
<p>Yes, the Urban Ranger and the Archaeologist Bard give me a run for my money. But focusing on a goal instead of trying to do everything really helps to close the gap.</p>I'm a rogue, and I'm doing fine.

<p>Walked and walked, and walked some more. Saw lots of interesting landscapes, and loved it. Somewhere - I'm not sure where, though I'm pretty sure it was before I got to Andoren - there was this cave. It seemed like a normal cave, and I spent the night in it, just like dozens of others. Except when I woke up, there were markings all over the walls - druidic writing (which I couldn't read). There was something else new, too: there was a weird mark covering most of my right hand. Through my hand, I could feel a connection to the earth like I'd never felt before. And then when I touched the writing on the cave walls, there was some kind of jolt, and suddenly I could read it all.</p>
<p>Near as I can tell, that's when I became a druid. I've since learned that the mark on my hand is related to a very old deity named Ng, so I'm guessing he had something to do with that day. (Why he didn't make me a cleric, I have no idea. Maybe he wanted to enhance my connection with the land, and becoming a menhir savant was a better means to that end than becoming a cleric?)</p>
<p>Anyway, I kept walking until I got to the Andoran shore, hitched a boat ride to Absalom, and signed up. I've been exploring the world and bonding with new lands ever since. But it hasn't changed my general distaste for animals.</p>Heh, my parents don't even know I'm a druid.

<p>For instance, in my last mission, I fought a couple of little buggers who were really good at getting cover and taking their AC up past 20.

Or when I'm swinging a <i>flame blade</i> around, or zapping someone with <i>frostbite</i>, etc. Those could all be cast with a WIS of 11-12, and none of them gain any benefit from having anything higher.
<p>Anyway: I do want to be front-line viable. So yeah, WF(Scimitar) does sound appealing. But is it more important than, say, Dodge? Both help with being in front. And what about when the guy's AC is too high to be practical, and I want to start hitting his touch instead, via some of the aforementioned combat spells? By not needing to step back to cast and then step up again, Combat Casting <i>also</i> helps my front-line ability.</p>

<p>I've had some very successful endeavors against the undead, and I'm using the Caves domain (subdomain of Earth). The best thing so far? <i>Magic Stone.</i> With my 17 STR to add to the damage, <i>magic stone</i> gives me three shots that deal 2d6+5 each against undead. I get that as a domain spell, and can prepare extras of it if I expect more undead.</p>
<p>Also, <i>create pit</i> is my second level domain spell. I haven't had a chance to use it yet (I only just leveled up to 3rd), but I can't imagine that zombies or skeletons or whatever would do very well against it. How good could their reflex saves really be? And once they're down, are they really going to be able to climb out very well?</p>
<p>Another thing to consider is archetypes. For instance, I'm a Menhir Savant. As such, I can detect the presence of undead. That can be a huge help. Just the other day I was exploring a tower, and detected three auras on the ceiling - turned out to be these creepy zombie hands waiting to jump down on us. But thanks to my Spirit Sense, <i>we</i> got the jump on <i>them.</i> Same when we got to the next room: there was a ghoul who'd quaffed a potion of <i>invisibility</i>, but I pinpointed him and forced him to engage before he was ready.</p>
<p>I didn't really come into this <i>planning</i> to own undead in the face, but that sure seems to be what I'm doing so far!</p>Hey Quatar, Dimitri the Druid here.

Gives you a Climb Speed of 20ft on vertical surfaces (i.e., doesn't apply to crawling upside-down on a ceiling), which if you look at the end of the Climb skill description, means a lot more than moving 20ft per move action while climbing: you get a +8 racial bonus on climb checks, don't lose DEX to AC while climbing, and can always Take 10...J.J., Agent of the Decemvirate (alias of Jiggy, RPG Superstar 2015 Top 32, RPG Superstar 2012 Top 32)2011-12-01T22:01:39ZRe: Forums: Advice: 1st level thiefJ.J., Agent of the Decemvirate (alias of Jiggy, RPG Superstar 2015 Top 32, RPG Superstar 2012 Top 32)https://paizo.com/threads/rzs2n621?1st-level-thief#322011-11-25T22:13:04Z2011-11-25T22:13:04Z<div class="messageboard-quotee">Fnatk wrote:</div><blockquote> To disregard Use Magic Device as a Rogue class, any kind of rogue, is eliminating about 30% of its overall effectiveness.</blockquote><p>Only if you're building a UMD rogue and then not using UMD.

<p>Take me, for example (click my name to see a rough outline of my stats at level 2). I have 7 CHA (but a postitive Diplomacy, in case I need it). No UMD. But what do I have?</p>
<p>• The ability to sneak around without being seen (max ranks in Stealth, no ACP).
<br />
• The ability to climb, swim, tumble, jump, or whatever else to <i>reach</i> the target (be it an enemy or an item that needs stealing). Especially climb; I can bare-hand a brick wall or natural rock surface without fail.
<br />
• When I do need to fight, I can kill things fast (and I even don't suck when not flanking).
<br />
• Plenty competent with pocket-picking.</p>
<p>"But wait!" you say. "What about bluffing? What happens when your 7 CHA self gets caught and you need to bluff your way out?"</p>
<p>Okay, seriously. If you get caught, and you're able to bluff your way out, your GM is doing something wrong: the bluff skill carries heavy modifiers based on the believability of the lie. Someone catches you stealing something, anything you say about "why I'm really there" is going to take at least a -10. Then they're going to say "bulls••t" and stab you. And they're going to stab you <i>first</i> because you took the time to try and talk your way out of an epic failure.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, someone catches <i>me</i> stealing something, and I just immediately smack them while they're still flat-footed and - if I don't want to kill them - I book it out of there using all the aforementioned climbing and jumping and swimming and stealthing skills to get away. Or if there's no escape, I can just fight them off, because I didn't waste resources in a fool's errand of trying to bluff and instead focused on not dying.</p>
<p>No, a rogue doesn't need CHA to be effective. There are CHA things to do, and there are non-CHA things to do. And the thing that <i>actually</i> "eliminates about 30% of the rogue's effectiveness" is trying to do both with the same rogue.</p>
<p>The "thief" should not be focused on CHA. The face/UMD guy should be. Or if you really want to, you can try to straddle the fence - but that's not what the OP asked for. </p>
<p>All you <i>really</i> need for a thief is stealth, sleight of hand and disable device. Okay, so make sure you put ranks in those and have at least 16 DEX. Boom.</p>
<p>Secondarily, you need a backup plan for when you do get caught. And when that happens, the circumstantial bluff penalties are going to eat you alive, so you might as well just face the music and either bolt or just fight your way out. So you need to be able to fight, and to be able to <i>move</i>. Acrobatics (for tumbling and jumping) takes advantage of the DEX you already have. Next up is STR and CON, for damage/climbing/swimming and survivability, respectively.</p>
<p>And finally, you need perception so you can find your mark and also notice approaching threats (so you can abort safely before they get there). Thus, WIS is not to be dumped - also, being an elf or half-elf helps.</p>
<p>INT isn't too important as you already get plenty of skill ranks. And CHA (for the "thief") is pointless.</p>
<p>=============</p>
<p><b>TLDR:</b> If you're not a halfling, the CHA rogue and the thief rogue are two different things. Pick one.</p>Fnatk wrote:To disregard Use Magic Device as a Rogue class, any kind of rogue, is eliminating about 30% of its overall effectiveness.
