I am only a little familiar with PFS and have never actually played in a PFS game. However, I might start at some point in the near future (at the occasional convention for instance)

In all likelihood I would just use one of the pregens (at first anyway) but it looks like the only pregens you can select are the for core class icons (wizard, cleric, fighter and rogue) and the three Ultimate Magic iconics (samurai, ninja and gunslinger)

So .... no Advanced Players Guide pregens???? That seems very odd.

If there are, in fact, APG pregens, can someone point them out to me?

If there really are no APG pregens available ... can anyone explain why not?

Thanks!

The latest AICN Tabletop is up:

AICN Tabletop

Lots of interesting stiff, including hints at an "advanced" and "basic" version of D&D Next AND Bestiary 4 ...

Andoran

The PRD looks and works great on the iPhone ...

... except for this problem :)

If you go to the Macic Items section from the Core Book, all you get is a badic HTML list of items - no background, no cool navigation ... nothing but a basic HTML list.

Same thing when you click Magic Items from the APG section

Lethal with Blade and Blast!

For years, Pathfinder Roleplaying Game fans have lamented the absence of an 'arcane paladin' type of class—one with full base attack bonus, limited spell access (to arcane spells instead of divine) and a small set of interesting, flavorful special abilities.

Lament no longer! The Expanded Battle Scion is just such a class!

The Expanded Battle Scion includes:

  • Force Blaster and Bonded Scion archetypes

  • 5 new feats including Awakened Arcane Bond, which imbues your arcane bond object with intelligence and will

  • A Prepared Spell Tracking Sheet, usable by any prepared spell caster

  • New rules for legendary magic items, and 3 new items: the legendary shield, sword and armor of the first battle scion

If you dream of scattering your enemies with a powerful force attack before finishing them off with lethal bladework, New Paths #4: The Expanded Battle Scion is for you!

Like MANY others, I jumped in on the awesome Reaper Bones Kickstarter and now have around 200 or so unpainted plastic Bones to paint in the near future. I'm very excited to get into this plastic mini painting hobby, but I'll need some expert advice :)

I've been reading up on various message boards but I have a few questions. I'll post each one separately so things can stay on topic. Please remember that I am ONLY interested in how these questions, answers and advice applies to the plastic Bones minis. I'm not interested in painting metal minis.

Onward!

I've been watching some Bone Unboxing videos on YouTube lately (which is really geeky, I admit) and I see that at least a few of the Bones come in more than one piece (the Griffon's wings, for example, come separate from his body)

So, what is the best product to glue Bones together? Any experience is welcomed, although I guess the best might be from those of you lucky folks who have received your Bones already and have actually done some of this gluing!

Thanks!!!

I've been watching a bunch of painting and minis videos on YouTube lately and many people seem to stick the base of the mini on a small block of wood, an old pill bottle etc to make it easier to hold. What are they using to stick the mini? Did I hear something called blue tack or something like that?

Bones supposedly do not need primed before painting (assuming you wash them well with soap and water to remove any residual mold release agent).

For those that have actually painted some Bones, did you try painting them without priming them first and, if so, how did it go?

I've been watching plenty of YouTube tutorials and I see various people use various different things to get depth and shading in the mini while they paint it (as opposed to after the mini is painted, such as dipping or painting on Minwax or something)

Some people use inks and/or ink washes. Others use Devlan Mud or other similar products. Others seem to use washes of darker paints ...

I even see that Reaper has their own line of inks: Reaper Inks.

Anyone have any experience with these? Since I'm going to be using Reaper paints, it might be nice to go with Reaper's inks to ... assuming ink is the way I end up going, of course :)

So, what is the 'best' and/or easiest method when painting Bones? Inks? Devlan Mud? Darker paint wash? Something else?

Thanks!!!

Andoran

Once I've painted a plastic mini (either one of my new Bones once they arrive :) or a DDM or Pathfinder Battles plastic mini) what is the best, easiest way to seal it?

I will be using all Reaper paints (MSP Core colors). I see that Reaper offers a brush on sealer - 09107: Brush-on Sealer. Is this a good choice?

Thanks!

Andoran

Has there ever been any kind of official ruling on this? If you give an animal that comes from a Figurine of Wondrous Power (such as a bronze griffon) an item to wear (barding, some sort of collar that acts as a ring of protection, whatever) does that item stay with the creature when it turns back into the Figurine or does it drop to the ground next to the Figurine?

Thanks!

Andoran

We all know the various maneuverability categories for flying creatures (average, poor, perfect etc) but I'm drawing a blank - where are the actual in-game rules for these maneuverability categories?

I searched the PRD but could not find them ...

Thanks!

Andoran

Aintitcool.com, a very cool and very popular website has relaunced their Tabletop RPG column. In the first new instalment, they mention the Pathfinder RPG in a positive light.

(They also mention that Wizards is putting out a nice new collection containing the S-series of modules, including TOMB OF HORRORS, WHITE PLUME MOUNTAIN, EXPEDITION TO THE BARRIER PEAKS, and THE LOST CAVERNS OF TSOJCANTH.)

Check out the link below and maybe even post in the comments section. Make sure Pathfinder fans are well represented! (NO edition wars though please!)

AICN Tabletop Returns

OK, this came up today and I'm interested in thoughts ...

A fighter is using the two weapon warrior archetype from the APG

At 9th level, he gets the following ability:
Doublestrike (Ex): At 9th level, a two-weapon warrior may, as a standard action, make one attack with both his primary and secondary weapons. The penalties for attacking with two weapons apply normally. This ability replaces weapon training 2

Obviously, the one cool aspect of this is two attacks as a standard action. The question is, does the fighter make a single attack role for both weapons OR two attack roles (one for each weapon).

This seems important because the follow up question was will vital strike work with both attacks:

Vital Strike (Combat)
You make a single attack that deals significantly more damage than normal.
Prerequisites: Base attack bonus +6.
Benefit: When you use the attack action, you can make one attack at your highest base attack bonus that deals additional damage. Roll the weapon's damage dice for the attack twice and add the results together before adding bonuses from Strength, weapon abilities (such as flaming), precision based damage, and other damage bonuses. These extra weapon damage dice are not multiplied on a critical hit, but are added to the total.

BOTH the vital strike feat and the 9th level archetype ability say "When you use the attack action, you can make one attack ..." so it certainly seems like vital strike should work on both attacks ...

Thoughts?

Andoran

Hey everyone - I'm looking around for a good paladin prestige class. I know about the Holy Vindicator of course but the whole bleeding thing just kind of creeps me out, so ... not interested in that one! :)

Any other really cool ones?

Andoran

When you gain a cohort from the Leadership feat, does the cohort get built using the NPC wealth per level or PC wealth per level? If it exists, I'm looking for an actual rule you can point to. Barring that, what do most people do?

I realize the cohort is an NPC so the NPC wealth per level makes the most sense. BUT, wow, the difference between a 7th level PC (23,500 gp) and a 7th level NPC (6,000) is pretty huge! A 7th level cohort with NPC level wealth is going to have a heck of a time surviving with his 9th level PC 'master'!

Andoran

Hey everyone -

I'm going to be doing some pre-spring cleaning of my book shelves over the next few weeks (gotta make room for NEW stuff! :)

Here's the first thing - if anyone would like a print copy of Wayfinder issue #5 , I have one available :)

Wayfinder #5 Print Edition

Thanks!

Really anxious to see what people think of this!

Andoran

Help a guy out here - I know there are rules for this but I can't seem to track them down ...

I want my really strong paladin to use a dire flail (a two-handed weapon) with one hand so he can use a shield in the other.

Where are those rules? I think there is a -2 or some such to hit or something?

Thanks!!!!

Andoran

I need a plastic mini - painted or unpainted of a dwarf warrior-type wielding two axes. Could be a D&D mini, Wizkids Pathfinder mini, Reaper Bones or pre painted plastic line (I forget the name of that line) etc.

Please note I'm NOT looking for metal.

Can anyone point me toward such a mini?

For some reason, I thought there was a rule somewhere that said magic armor reduced the armor check penalty ... but I can't seem to find it. Am I nuts?

With the massive success of Reaper's Bones Kickstarter, i think it would be VERY cool if the Reaper folks would do a How To Paint Bones Class. I know Reaper often does How To Paint Minis classes, but since Bones minis are different enough from metal minis, a class specifically concentrating on Bones painting would be awesome!!!

Andoran

I've never done any kind of miniature modification before, but I'd like to try my hand at it for the first time with a D&D prepainted plastic mini. Specifially, I want to change a dawrf's weapon from his current pick to a war ace.

What is the best glue to use so that the axe I add stays on really well?

Thanks!!!

Has anyone checked out or even played the Beta of the new Star Wars RPG from Fantasy Flight?

I'm kind of curious about it

Andoran

We've always played that a druid wildshaped into an animal (or whatever) gets that creatures base speed. However, I was doing some research earlier today and I don't see that spelled out in either the wildshape entry or the beastshape I spell.

Have we been using a houserule disguised as an actual official rule???

d6 - 12 dice
d8 - 7 dice
d12 - 6 dice
d4 - 6 dice

I've been reading up on brushes and I'm trying to narrow down what I should get.

What brand and type is best?

It seems as though many mini painters prefer Windsor Newton, right? The more expensive sable hair is the way to go from what I have been reading. Is this the general consensus?

What about size? I tend to see sizes 00 and 000 mentioned often ...

Looking forward to some expert brush tips, recommendations and advice!

I am not a fan of the broccoli blob bases these have. I understand why Reaper does this and have no problems with it. However, I just prefer minis to have more standard, round, plastic bases.

So, I plan on removing the broccoli blob bases and adding round, plastic bases. Any tips, tricks or advice?

For removal, I assume a good, sharp x-acto or utility knife is what I need?

From what I gather, Super Glue is the best thing to actually attach the plastic base to the Bones mini. Yes?

Oh, I know people use plenty of other clever things as cheap bases (wooden disks, metal washers etc). I'd really rather not get into those here though - like I said, I want to stick to actual round plastic bases.

Thanks!!!

I am really intrigued by this Dipping technique. I've tried to research it but I still don't quite get it. Do I have this right? You paint the mini and then either dip it in brown furniture stain OR you paint on brown furniture stain with a brush?

Can someone give me a basic step-by-step?

Thanks!

A player in our group is playing a level 1 rogue. Next level he plans on multi-classing and taking a level in wizard (universalist). His goal is to become an arcane trickster as soon as he can.

Here is the question:

Rogues can obviously Sneak Attack. The universalist wizard gets the Hand of the Apprentice ability at level 1. Can a multi-class rogue/wizard who is hidden within 30 feet of an enemy (i.e. meets all the necessary requirements for Sneak Attack) use Hand of the Apprentice to deliver the Sneak Attack?

I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work but I certainly might be missing something! :)

Hand of the Apprentice (Su): You cause your melee weapon to fly from your grasp and strike a foe before instantly returning to you. As a standard action, you can make a single attack using a melee weapon at a range of 30 feet. This attack is treated as a ranged attack with a thrown weapon, except that you add your Intelligence modifier on the attack roll instead of your Dexterity modifier (damage still relies on Strength). This ability cannot be used to perform a combat maneuver. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Intelligence modifier.

Our DM picked up a new set of really nice cave stalactites / formations. Unfortunately, he threw out the box so he doesn't know what they are. He was pretty sure they are brand new, for D&D and might be put out by Wizards?

Does any of this sounds familiar????
