Hey Cosmo....I'd like to remove the GM Screen from this order.
I'd actually like to end my "Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Subscription" AFTER I receive the Bestiary

Thanks!

Thanks for the clarification :)

I don't have that issue. I didn't know there was a feat as well.

Where is Dervish Dance?

Dervish Dance is not a feat at all.
It's a class ability of the Dervish prestige class from Complete Warrior.

What do you not like about Pathfinder?
Cheliax Koriatsar (Pathfinder Chronicles Superscriber),

Mud 2 avatar

I still HATE the skill rank system. If it's a class skill you automatically are maxed in it if you take a "rank"?
I like the original system better...which I plan to keep using.
We should be allowed to "dabble" if we choose to.
Too many skills were consolidated together as well.

I don't really care for that fact that a half-orc can now get a +2 to CHA.
Proficiency with the Falchion and Greataxe I also hate.
Why would they do away with the -2 INT and -2 CHA stereotype (that half-orcs are dumb and ugly) and add another stereotype that all half-orcs know how to use big weapons!!??

I am not thrilled with skill focus adding ANOTHER +3 at 10th level. Whats the point?

I'm still on the fence about what they did to the prestige classes saves.

DR was the absolute worst change in 3.5 and now we are once again stuck with it. A variant to DR sidebar would have been nice. Maybe in the Beastiary?

I hate Aasimar being referred to as "good" Tieflings.
It totally blows how they always take a backseat to them.

That's kind of the holdup, honestly... we can't do 20th+ level content until we decide if we want to just use the epic rules as-is (not my favorite choice) or rebuild them for PFRPG (the better choice) with a built-in band of levels with a cap the same way there's a cap at level 20 for standard play.

And building epic level stuff is probably going to take a long time as is. And we'll be busy getting the base game up and running for a while even before that.


Oohh. 21-30 epic, 31-40 immortality 41 you're a god? :-)

Only if you remember to say "yes" :)

What Do People Think of the Map Folios?

It wouldn't bother me if the Map folios were gone. But ONLY because it's all reprinted material.
If you were offering NEW maps by...say...Chris West, then I'd be all over it.

Awaken Construct. Help needed!! Mr Jacobs?
Cheliax Koriatsar (Pathfinder Chronicles Superscriber),

Mud 2 avatar

Thank you very much for taking the time to put together such a great response! I appreciate it and I'll definitely run your ideas by my DM.

Unfortunately the rest of the Awaken Construct spell is rather vague on how to handle things.
I DO agree with alot of the things you said. Most of the abilities it has could all be mimicked through spells or magic items (which a 15th level party should have no trouble finding)

Pretty much any class of comparable hit dice would be stronger than the guardian. And thats not even factoring magical gear.

I had considered running some mock fights against...say your 12th level Bbn.

I was hoping to have some designers insights as well.
ECL IS probably the most blurred area of the game.

Awaken Construct. Help needed!! Mr Jacobs?
Cheliax Koriatsar (Pathfinder Chronicles Superscriber),

Mud 2 avatar

Okay so I have recently come into the possession of a Shield Guardian and have cast Awaken Construct (Spell Compendium)
Now I am unsure how to proceed with it.
I know that it gains a feat for every 3 levels (it's an advanced guardian with 19 HD, so that would mean 7 feats)
But what about it's advancement? What would it's character level be equivalent to?
I have a week to iron out the details, but using the method of calculating ECL in the MM is not the best idea because the Guardian would have an unrealistic ECL.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

edit: our party's average level is 15. Mine is a 15th level Wizard

Half Orcs in 4e (or Why can't we all just get along?)
Cheliax Koriatsar (Pathfinder Chronicles Superscriber),

If half-Orcs are all (supposedly) a product of rape, then how the hell do you think most Tieflings are born???
Why are they a better fit to the game? 4E is a game of contradictions and bad explanations.

So "Eamonvale Incursion Coming in 2008!" Well thats what the website says anyways....
And of course it didn't happen.
Why not give up on this GSL 4E garbage?
I wonder how Nathan Douglas Paul feels about this whole situation?
Something that could have been a great adventure series has been ruined by the waiting game.

Does Necro honestly not realize they've lost some people (by that I mean paying customers) with this whole mess?

Eamonvale?
Cheliax Koriatsar (Pathfinder Chronicles Superscriber),

Mud 2 avatar

Well it's summer 2008. Still no sign....

I still honestly don't understand how Necro can put out ZERO products for MONTHS. They rant about not being able to put 3.5 products on the shelf beside 4e products and yet there was plenty of time between the transition that they could have used putting SOMETHING out there.

I really dont understand why they could not have at least released Incursion as a PDF only under 3.5. Is that too much to ask? I bought the pdf of Grey Citadel so I would prefer to have a pdf of Incursion.
You guys could have released the PDF a YEAR ago....

Oh wait I just realized that if you guys had done that, what would stop people from converting the adventure to 4e themselves? Shrewd?...maybe

As for saying I was lied to; I believe that not telling people why things are really being done and dancing around questions may as well be the same as lying.

Ah well. Why do I bother?

If you could change one thing about Alpha 3....
Cheliax Koriatsar (Pathfinder Chronicles Superscriber),

Mud 2 avatar

Change one thing....

The skill system. Why does someone gain a +3 bonus to the skill check for putting a RANK (and it IS a rank) in it?
I mean seriously; what are you guys doing?
The old system IMO was WAY better.
Is math really confusing? If the answer is yes, then doing the math should improve your math skills.

I also don't like some of the skill groupings.
I really think skills are being changed for no real reason and I dont like it.
Some things you guys are changing in PF are cool and others are absolutely unnecessary.

Spring Attack (Alpha 3 page 72)
Cheliax Koriatsar (Pathfinder Chronicles Superscriber),

Mud 2 avatar

How can negating attacks of opportunity be justified?
I mean if someone is moving past someone they get an AoO.
So why would this person be unable to swing, stab or whatever just because someone has a feat that negates them? Does the guy use up his AoO for the round and it's an automatic miss?

I think this is too powerful. there was nothing wrong with those feats the way they were before. Well maybe Dodge kinda sucked, but the others were fine.

My last appeal - drop Favored Class (p. 11)
Cheliax Koriatsar (Pathfinder Chronicles Superscriber),

Mud 2 avatar

I agree that favored classes should be eliminated.
Why should a character be more hardy than someone else of his kind just cause he took a 'favored class'.
It doesn't make sense to gain extra hp at all.

Favored classes were pointless b4 and they still are.

Thank you to Paizo!

If you're gonna make a new (variant) system why WOULDN'T you throw in some new races/classes. It's the perfect time to do so.
A new race with it's own history etc... that is specific to Pathfinder would be awesome. Maybe Mr. Logue could come up with something so cool that even WOTC would say "Damn, I wish that was OUR new race"

I vote for the 3rd option. Keep skills as they were in 3.5 and use the option in the Alpha for NPCs and monsters. Makes things quicker for villain creation

Armor reworking
Cheliax Koriatsar (Pathfinder Chronicles Superscriber),

Mud 2 avatar

I don't really have a fix in mind, per se.
The main problem with the armor is that the most AC bonus you're gonna have is +9 (not including magic mods)

chain shirt gives +4 ac, but has a max dex of +4.
breastplate +5 with max dex of +3. You're better off having bracers of armor.

I often wondered why they don't have an "armor focus" feat.
Say it gives +1 to your ac. And if you take "armor specialization" you get DR/2-

Or maybe at least eliminate the max dex for light armor...
