Normally to flank an opponent, you must be using a melee weapon.

For some reason I seem to recall a feat or something that allows an archer to flank with a bow within 30 feet.

Am I remembering correctly or am I nuts?

Thanks!

Although they are present on the PRD for the first Bestiary ... Bestiary 2 and 3 are missing links for things like:

- Monsters by Type
- Monsters by CR
- Monsters by Terrain etc.

even though these ARE in the printed books.

Is this intentional or just an oversight? Can you guys get these links up for Bestiary 2 and 3 when time permits?

Thanks!

OK, I just got killed today (my character that is) so I need to make a new character.

We could use some healing umph in the party so I'm thinking of playing some sort of divine character. I've played lots of clerics before so I want to try something else.

I'm playing (and loving) an oracle in a different campaign, so i don't want to do another oracle.

I'm thinking an Inquisitor might be fun to play.

Anyone play an Inquisitor?

Was it fun to play? Not so much?

Any advice?

General thoughts?

Inspired by another thread, I thought it would be fun if everyone listed there Top 5 Favorite Bands (or solo acts).

Don't worry about ranking them in any particular order - just list your top 5.

These are the 5 bands (or, like I said, individual musicians) that you love above all others; you listen to most often; you couldn't live without if you were stranded on an island etc.

Genre doesn't matter - if you love Metallica, Miles Davis and Mozart, then put 'em all on your list!

Here's my list:

Top 5 Favorite Bands
Rush
Pink Floyd
Kiss
Aerosmith
Iron Maiden

I know it's still early, but do we have any hints as to who the Guest of Honor will be this year?

With it being a big annaversary for both Paizo and Pathfinder, I'm thinking (hoping?) that it will be someone really cool :)

Would the fine Paizo folks like to drop any hints?

If not, can you at least tell us when the Guest of Honor will be announced?

Thanks!

I'm glad to see the NY Times article mentioned Pathfinder!

It's also interesting that it seems like they are going to do some kind of open playtest ...

BTW, I thought it would be of value to talk about what this means to Pathfinder somewhere other than the 4E thread, hopefully this will not get moved there ....

So What's It Called, Anyway?

"Having returned from their most recent adventure, the PCs rest and recuperate in a nearby town. Of course, being adventurers it’s not long before they start to explore every nook and cranny of their new home in search of adventure! Before the hard-worked GM knows it, they are exploring every un-detailed portion of the town and asking questions like “So what’s that tavern called, anyway?”

Instead of panicking, or using the same old names again and again, a GM using the tables within can quickly name dozens (if not hundreds) of taverns, inns, shops, locations and even other organizations and groups. Alternatively, the GM can use these tables ahead of time to create interesting and evocative names to pique the PCs’ interest and to breathe life into his campaign setting."

I'm playing a cleric of Abadar and I'm getting ready to level up. I'm thinking I might want to go into a prestige class but there don't seem to be many good ones at all for cleric.

The only one that seems obviously geared for a cleric is the Holy Vindicator from the APG, but honestly ... the whole stigmata, bleeding wounds aspect of that prestige class just leaves me king of cold.

Am I missing any good cleric oriented prestige classes???

I was digging around in the PRD the other day and noticed an Aquatic Armor Quality / Ability for magic armor. Now, today I am trying to find it again and I can't find it for the life of me!!!

Does anyone know where it is on the PRD or even what book it's from???

Thanks!!!

I was looking through the Bestiaries etc and noticed something. There does not seem to be an actual entry for aquatic elves.

I know they exist in the game - the sahuagin entry, for instance, mentions that the malenti look like aquatic elves. I'm also pretty sure aquatic elves have been at least mentioned elsewhere in Pathfinder, although a search of the PRD did not find anything.

So, my question is ... are aquatic elves actually written up or detailed in the Pathfinder RPG or, at this point, are they just kind of assumed to exist but not really detailed officially?

I live near Harrisburg Pa. I was doing a little exploring here and it looks like the nearest Venture Captains are in New York and Washington DC?!? Are there no PFS Venture Captains closer? As far as I can tell, there is no PFS activity anywhere in my area?

Am I looking in the wrong places?

Thanks!

Ok, I need some advice! I posted something like this quite some time ago, but there are a lot of new modules plus the older modules have been around longer now, so more people will have played them …

I will probably be starting a new campaign in maybe 5 or 6 months(once Kingmaker is completed) and I need thoughts, comments and advice on Paizo’s various modules.

My plan is to run create a campaign using mostly modules strung together to create a campaign. I will weave in some over-arching plot lines and other elements, but I’d like to use modules as the main focus (mainly because I just don’t have as much time as I’d like)

So, I’d love to know which modules folks feel were the most fun, best written and designed etc. at each level. Obviously, I’m looking for the “best” ones from each level range.

A few criteria:

I will be placing these in a homebrew world, not Golorian, so the locations of the various adventures do not really matter much.
I did not include any of the Falcon's Hollow / Kolbold King modules because we already played through them.

I know a few of the Pathfinder Adventures I listed have not come out yet. I just wanted them in the list.

So, please list the 1 or 2 adventures from each level range that you enjoyed the most and would recommend the highest.

Thanks!!!

Level 1
Crypt of the Everflame (PFRPG)
Master of the Fallen Fortress (PFRPG)
The Godsmouth Heresy (PFRPG)

This came up in today's game ...

The sorcerer casts a Minor Globe of Invulnerability. Obviously, HE can still cast spells while within the globe. The question was ... can any of the sorcerer's ALLIES within the globe with him also cast spells?

Seems pretty cut and dry, but the more everyone read the spell's text and thought about it, it somehow seemed to get less clear.

So ... CAN any of the sorcerer's allies within the sorcerer's globe with him also cast spells???

Are these dice bags new? Does anyone have any dice bags from this company (Gallant Hand's Gamers Gear)? I need a really cool, sturdy new dice bag and I'm curious to learn more about these ...

Question on the Bouncing Spell Metamagic Feat ...

First, here is the text:

Bouncing Spell (Metamagic)
You can direct a failed spell against a different target.

Benefit: Whenever a bouncing spell targeting a single creature has no effect on its intended target (whether due to spell resistance or a successful saving throw) you may, as a swift action, redirect it to target another eligible creature within range. The redirected spell behaves in all ways as if its new target were the original target for the spell. Spells that affect a target in any way (including a lesser effect from a successful saving throw) may not be redirected in this manner. A bouncing spell uses up a spell slot one level higher than the spell's actual level.

Here is my question. Do you have to declare you are using this feat before casting the spell (and use up the higher level spell slot) or can you declare it after you cast the spell, i.e. when you see the intended target fails his saving throw etc and then adjust which spell slot was used up at that point?

I would think it would be the latter, but I wanted to confirm!

Thanks!

I'm at work and don't have my book with me (and Ultimate Combat material is not up on the PFSRD yet) or I'd check on this myself ...

I read something somewhere recently about Ultimate Combat having something about thrown shields? Is that true????

If not in Ultimate Combat, are throwing shields or ruels for throwing shields in a different Paizo product?

Thanks!!!

I'm thinking about taking a prestige class for my cleric in our Kingmaker campaign. The thing I've noticed, however, is that there rsally not that many prestige classes geared for clerics.

Am I maybe missing some or are there really that few?

I have a question about the "This Week at Paizo.com" e-mail that just arrived.

Under Top Selling Products From Other Companies, no. 5 is listed as Kobold Quarterly 14. Is that right? The current issue is no. 18 - I would think THAT would be in the Top Selling Products From Other Companies, not issue 14!

Just curious if issue 14 was a typo ...

Thanks!!!

One of the most frustrating things about being a spellcaster is unleasing a spell, only to have the target make his save.

So, what are the ways a spellcaster can increase that all-important save DC? I've listed the obvious ones below:

Spell Focus and Greater Spell Focus feats
Unfortunately, these feats only give a total increase of +2, and only in one school of magic. Still, it's better than nothing.

Are there any others? If not, it seems like there should be ...

Hey all,

I have the Race for the Galaxy game & Gathering Storm Expansion set, both from Rio Grande Games, for sale. I got it as a gift - it seems like a VERY cool game, but I just don't have time to play so I thought I'd try to pass it on to someone who WILL get to enjoy it.

I was pretty stoked about the Green Lantern movie but every review so far has had mostly negative (or at best, neutral) things to say about the film.

So, who has actually seen it? What did you think?

So far, my first PaizoCon has been a blast!

I did have a very looooooonnnnngggggg cross country plane ride, but that's another tale ...

On Thursday evening I had the pleasure of attending a very cool gathering thrown by the Kobold Quarterly Overlord himself, Wolfgang Baur. There were so many cool and interesting people there, I mainly just kept my mouth closed and listened - Wolfgang of course, Adam Deigle, Brandon Hodges, Stan!, Matt Forbek ... I know I'm forgetting people (or worse, mis-spelling their names)! All in all a great way to start the pre con!

I got to talk to Ed Greenwood about DMing and creating fun play sessions!

Today I have some cool semminars, including a very cool and funny rules semminar with James Sacobs, Jason Bulmahn and Stephen Radney-MacFarland

After dinner I have a game with the infamous Neil Spicer - can't wait!

I'll try to post through out the weekend as cool things happen ...

How do things work on Friday when we first arrive at the convention itself? I believe there is a registration process, right?

When does that begin? How long does it normally take?

Thanks!

I never played or read this AP. but a friend mentioned that one of the final books had a protective field of some kind that prohibited PCs from flying or teleporting directly to their desired location.

Does this ring a bell?

If so, could somone give me the specific game detials of this? I need to see how it worked for something I'm working on (probably in spoiler tags, just to be safe)

Thanks!!!

Do we actually know what the menu is? Is there by any chance a vegetarian option?
