I don't want this thread to keep getting bumped but, seriously, Mikaze? Can you PLEASE post what happened next in your campaign? I really want to know!

Multiple Attribute Dependent.

My real problem with this AP is:

So, do we have a picture of the cover lady on it's own yet? Perhaps in Wallpaper format?

Erik, I'm interested if you have any links to the developers saying that. Not because I doubt it, but because it'd be awesome to read more.

It's also worth noting that two players using exactly the same point buy making exactly the same characters are not going to experience any one AP as the same level of complexity. I know people who can make an absolutely devastating character with 15 point buy, and other people who can't make a 25 point buy character survive past 1st level.

Player skill is a HUGE factor. Large enough that it kinda makes the argument about what point buy to use irrelevant.

The only tool we have to ensure that a game feels properly balanced in the end is the GM. He or she is the only one who knows what the players are capable of. Adjusting adventures is a requirement as a result.

By assuming that a group consists of four 15-point characters played by players with average skills, we can achieve a baseline that remains the same for each AP and thus makes it easier for each GM to adapt.

...See those little triangles? they are at 1/2 " and 1" I think. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong

Thank you. She must be large then. Dang. Thank goodness for Nadani!

The biggest change in the director's cut is the ending - Karzoug kills the PCs during the 3rd module, and the remaining modules consist entirely of recipes for bok choi.

The deities who hate undead the most would be: Sarenrae and Pharasma.

All of the good deities dislike undead, but it's Sarenrae and Pharasma who hate undead the most.

As long as they're not the Civic Hybrids ;-)

I must be playing the game wrong. For the past 20 years, I can count the number of boobie references in the games I've been a part of on one hand, and everyone knows that more than a handful is a waste.

But here we are, 3 pages in and the gazonga debate continues. SMH.

I wonder if any owl-people "hooter" discussions will occur.

Also... yes I had to, and nobody could EVER have stopped me!

=^.^=

Wow, the community is having kittens about the art on this one! Don't let this become a catastrophe over something so small. You can't just have imewtable opinions on what a catfolk is.

How much of a catfolk is "cat", and how much is "folk"? We could infur that any combination is valid, particularly for this boob discussion. The way I see it, there are three choices in the full purrview:
Two boobs
Eight boobs
or the mean average of five boobs. This will be a genetic nightmare when you figure out where the odd boob goes on the milk line.

The game can contain whatever tickles your Fancy Feast. So come on everybody, let's not litter the forums with something that can just be an opinion, and take a Fresh Step toward better understanding.

Which is fine. But don't ask for the legal benefits if you won't take the legal limitations.

Why are there legal limitations? And what are they? There is nothing forcing exclusivity on a married couple.

Why shouldn't they be able to ask for the benefits associated with marriage for additional partners if they are willing to deal with the legal difficulties?

Or better yet, remove ALL benefits from marriage and make marriage a purely religious 'thing'. Civil union would be the legal contract part, so you'd have to do both (which you already do anyway, church service and signing the license that is). And then you can say marry whoever you want! Marry a dog! Marry a chair! It has no consequences since it's just a religious ceremony!

Nice abilities but hate the art for them, the bestiary 3 version is an awesome pic but this just horrible.

Has anyone suggested asking the GM to retcon the horse to a construct made out of a dead horse?

As the ranger gains levels he can advance the horse by *shudder* swapping out pieces for better parts.

The GM's words: "I'm not going to change this animal. It's cool and it's not hurting anyone."

Did you point out that your character would probably be hurt if they lost the favor of their god and became an Ex-cleric?

Your DM sounds like a prick.

When that happens, take a deep breath, and find a different gaming group.

When the GM decides to punish a character because of a disagreement with a player, it's not worth it.

The blatant bigotry in this thread against men with beautiful, flowing locks makes me want to cry.

Would make it less impressive when paizo does anything else then. Like the Batman movies (though only '66 is a real batman movie) , once you kill Joker all you have is an angsty dupe in a cape!

Do you know when there are no AoO's left? Perhaps, I could see this being described as "a brief opening or lull in the foe's offense."

"I know what you're thinking: Did he take six attacks of opportunity this round or only five? Well to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kinda lost track myself. But being that this is a +5 vorpal greatsword, the most powerful melee weapon in the world - and would cut your head clean off - you've got to ask yourself one question. 'Do I feel lucky?' Well do ya, punk?"

I think the fact that the 10 foot tall giant with a halbard can hit you from a fair ways off should be pretty obvious.

DMs should not hoard information from players. The DM is the only portal the players have into the world that exists largely in the DM's head.

Ooh, this should be fun. When's the rest of the gang going to get here?

Removed a post. Please post civilly, thanks!

Indeed, LPM, it's not a good idea for a man of your standing to discount others. Endorse Ms. Martini, all you wish however. I have heard from a reputable source that she is planning a new photo shoot!!!

A fighter's fireball is a burlap sack with ten vials of alchemist's fire.

Actually, now I want to try that.

It looks to me like it's a human filling out the signup form. I figure they're probably paid a nickel for each time they post their spam. Pretty crappy life, if you ask me.

I'm not inclined to put up more technological barriers like captchas because they annoy the hell out of the very people they're supposed to protect. For now the flagging system works great for catching these.

so is it safe to pressume the High Queen of Stab is going to be in this book Mr. Jacobs?

If you mean me... yup. As mentioned in the blurb above...

The famous “iconic characters” of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game also come alive with statistics at various levels of development, providing ready-to-use player characters for any occasion.

If you're referring to someone ELSE as the High Queen of Stab, well... someone needs a stabbin!

Jenny Poussin as Seoni the iconic Sorceress in Pathfinder, ftw.

I really enjoyed the movie. It seriously deserves an award for "Most Unfairly Criticized Film of the Year" and "Worst Marketing Campaign for a Good Movie".

Definitely getting it when it arrives on DVD.

Dwarf-Blood: Dwarf tieflings are virtually unknown and, outside of the Duergar, are usually smothered at birth. Should one survive, the tiefling would be short and heavily built, much like their dwarven parent. Hair (and beard if male) would be of an unnatural color.

UPS Truck pulled up today. Got so excited. Even had a book-sized box. Then the UPS Delivery person asks for my sister. Turns out she ordered a book of eye shadows.

I was so disappointed. Not the book of shadows I've been waiting for. :(

I love Star Wars, because it brought space opera back to mainstream after it died out with 50's serials.

But I think I prefer Original Series Trek for the same reason I like gaming; it was a sandbox. 60's mentality and not-so-subtle social relevance aside, it was wide open and the stories could be about literally anything.

I believe it could have been better in many ways (Roddenberry kicked himself over and over for inventing the we-have-to-break-it-every-week-to-make-the-story-work transporter--only to figure out shuttles a couple of months later), but it was the first sci-fi RPG, long before RPGs were invented.

I don't like the directions Next Gen and later series took; too techy and too self-righteous, not to mention all the foam rubber butts on people's heads to make them "alien". And the series all became ve-e-ry formulaic; Picard the diplomat, Sisko the warrior/politician, Janeway on Gilligan's Island... and we won't talk about Quantum-Leaping Archer.

Give me macho, womanizing, shoot-first-and-justify-later Kirk any time! He was a space cowboy long before Firefly, when the final frontier was still a frontier.

Are we there yet?

Nope

I think the original trilogy was better because Lucas had tons of people challenging his ideas at every time. This provided him constant feedback and the chance to refine the movies before they were released. With the prequels, he just fired anybody that disagreed with him, thus the reason they feel like "rough draft" (at least to me).

Have to say I disagree with whoever tattooed that lady about where on her body the treasure can be found.

Rumor has it that the hardcover edition is going to have a blue dragon assisting him.

What no Advance Races preview, for this insult I should cancel my subscription. We haven't even gotten a real preview for the Advanced races book yet. We have three of the five blogs are things I could really care less about, I don't collect minitures anymore, I don't read the short stories, and I don't care much for pathfinder society play, so that only leaves two possible blogs of interest a week.

We've had a few tidbits about the ARG in the blog, but we're still a fair bit away from its release. However, if you have any suggestions or opinions you'd like to share about the blogs, please feel free to post in the Website Feedback forum.

Until Paizo comes out with Epic rules I can't be stated. But for you mere mortals feel free to worship me. James did give me my subdomains already. :)

Any creature that takes it's full HD worth of non-key classes and only ups it's CR by 1/2 the levels added. For that matter, any group of creatures that has a channeling healer with selective channeling to keep them going and going and going.

lamia matriarch is the most annoying creature ever, specially when they got class lvls (and sisters)

yes im looking at you, fancy mask lady!!!!

The one thing to keep in mind in terms of al-Qadim > Casmaron and Qadira is that the Shi'ar as imagined by TSR is fairly distinctively their own animal, and not based on the historical Sahirs, who were astrological magicians and hexers, though they sometimes bind Jinn as well. It was the Kahin who were shamans, and the Shaikhs who compel Jinn via faith, rather than by contracts.
Thus the Sahir (Shi'ar) is a sort of learned witch with a special connection to fate, the Kahins are possessed by Jinn or associate freely with them (Summoners or Druids?) and the Shaikhs are a kind of Cleric. The Majus is the wizard, more or less, though they are strongly associated with Zoroasterianism.
In other words, the concept of the Shi'ar verges on product identity since it diverges significantly from its meaning in the RW.

This thread is locked. You just made a thread on this topic. And it was also deliberately inflammatory.

Pale Rider is a seperate Clint Eastwood movie along with "The outlaw Josey Wales". The man with no name trilogy consists of "A Fistful of Dollars", "For a few dollars more" and "The Good, the bad, and the ugly".

But, if the trilogy has no name, what do you call it?

You call it Clint Eastwood movies.

Sounds like the original players are running a "Good Old Boys" club with a sense of entitlement and superiority.

Yep.

I strongly recommend not wasting time on this group.

Well, talk to them about the issues, sure. But absolutely do not sign up and invest time in taking abuse to enable their power fantasies.

I would not want to play in this game at all.

Not good...

realism and whatnot matter very little in a scenario such as this, and the scenario is very simple: party cohesion is threatened by some PCs basically making the game unbearably annoying. Yes, that's how the real world works. Yes, technicly, those PCs have the right of it. It doesn't make them jerks, and it takes a significant amount of fun out of the game.

Besides..."real world?" People play these games to get out of the real world, so that they don't have to think about these kinds of things. Besides, how "real" can an RPG world be anyway...

Oh sorry "aren't all melee combatants preferably 2handed STR builds these days?"

:P

Just sad that it is such a one sided debate and that alternate builds are mechanically so much weaker the point you give up trying to go for something different :(

Star Trek

Every faction should have a mission that should change the canon setting of Golarion. If that faction wins the Faction War of the season, that mission should be achieved.

That's the ultimate goal, and what I had hoped to do to a greater degree in Season 3 than in previous years. Turns out, though, that it involves having a lot of juggling balls in the air at a given time and I haven't yet gotten the wrangling of all the elements under control. Managing a plotline for 10 different factions across over 30 annual adventures written by dozens of authors is really tough, is what I'm saying. For now, I'm focusing on getting the metaplot aspects of campaign continuity down to a science, and then I'll put more thought into making the faction plotlines shine more.

In any case, there are some faction plots brewing under the surface if folks are paying attention. A few of them are likely to come out next season. Keep your eyes on Andoran, Cheliax, and Qadira.
