I was going to post a "you're late!" message, but figured they had more important things, and the weekend, to deal with. Now that the weekend is over: you're late!

The weekend was not over at the time you wrote this! It is a three day weekend in the States (Memorial Day)...

I just tried to add an alias for a PbP to my PM address book, but it added the primary id instead of the alias.

For instance, if you tried to add Crotalus (one of my alias), what would actually be added to your address book is Papa-DRB.

Can this be changed? Adding the alias is especially nice for PbPs.

thanks,

APs are designed for 4 characters, 15 point buy, with average players and an average DM.

Your 1st level characters are really equivalent to 5th level characters. +1 for the 5th person, +2 for 25 point buy, +1 for above average players.

At character levels 1-5 there is one of two issues. If the CR of the encounter is not upped, they should walk all over everything, *or*, if the CR is upped, one or two bad rolls on their part could end in a TPK. Sniggevert has the right of it, add the simple advanced template and up hit points and the CR should be about right.

At mid character levels 6-10 adding 2 class levels to a single creature encounters and upping hit points should be ok. For multiple creature encounters, add mooks as well as adding 2 class levels to the "boss".

At high character levels 10+ adding 3-4 class levels to single creature encounters and upping hit points should be ok. For multiple creature encounters, add lots of mooks as well as adding 3-4 class levels to the "boss".

Most APs end around 15th level so you really don't have to be concerned with levels 16+, although there is usually an article on continuing the campaign, but then you are back to "homebrew" adventures.

You know your guys best, so take this all with a grain of salt.

have you tried a cache-clearing refresh in firefox? Ctrl-F5

*sigh* I knew that! Nothing to see here, keep on moving...

Thanks Cheapy, that cleared the problem.

*crud* Does not work with Firefox (my browser of choice), but I just tried with IE9 and it displays properly. *sigh* I hate computers!

Thanks Cheapy.....

Sorry to post this here, but I can't find the forums on your site. I am trying to access the Fey Creature template, at http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/templates/fey-creature-cr -1-or-2. It just shows a blank page. The Fey Animal before it works and the Feytouched after it works also. *sigh*

You need to put this book out. Like, right now. So I can buy it.
.................
I'll buy several copies!
.................
I'll PREORDER several copies!

Does that help the motivational process?

Only after the Shadowsfall players guide and gazetteer are finished! But yea, I'd buy a copy (again!)....

I hate to admit it, but this is not going to make the end of May nor the start of June. We're working as hard as we can to make PaizoCon. But I'll be frank, its going to be a stretch.

Rats ! I really want this book, and the followup.

Thanks for keeping us informed Dale.

I'm using maptool, and for my campaign I have created a map of the stolen lands by combining the player maps (no areas shown) from part 1-4.

I can give you that image if you want it, and it doesnt infringe on any rules from Paizo?

I would like that also, if you could... papa_drb@yahoo.com

thanks!

Under Summoner -

(an eidolon receives a number of skill ranks equal to 6 + its Intelligence modifier per HD)

But the Eidolon: Base Statistics Chart shows 4 Skill Points per HD.

Not sure if this is the right thread.

Hassan

6 + (-2) is 4. The Int modifier is -2 because all three forms have a 7 Int.

I'm planning on getting an adventure path subscription starting with Shattered Star and would like to know what kind of lead time I need on the order to make sure I'm in the system in time for the first book.

Err... You are an adventure path subscriber now. But to answer your question, anytime after Chapter 6 of Skull & Shackles and before Chapter 2 of Shattered Star. When you sign up you can choose the current or next "book".

I get a "file is corrupt" message. I could open the doc but most of it is missing.

Hmmm... I just linked to the zip file from the link in your post; opened it (jzip); then using Open Office opened it; and everything looks ok.

It is an LibreOffice file, extension .odt, so I don't know how another editor, excepting Open Office, will handle it.

I've combined your awesome NPC attitude helper sheet with Papa-DRB's equally awesome NPC cards in an attempt to add a little more information to your sheet. Anyone can feel free to rip it off and use it in their campaigns. You should be able to download it Here.

Appreciate calling the cards awesome, but they are not mine. Folks were having a hard time getting to them on filefactory.com, so I asked Ravien if I could host them on DropBox so they would be more universally available.

I am using Firefox 12 and was able to download everything, *except* the single file Gamemastery Guide. It doesn't even start to personalize.

The example I like to use is a band recording an album. Most bands manage to release an album a year, if even that; maybe I also get to see them in concert once per year. That means that, no matter how much I love a particular band, I can only readily spend maybe $30 on them each year, give or take. But if that same band offers a Kickstarter for their album, and they come up with an appealing selection of rewards, it's suddenly possible for me...

Dang Vic!! Where do you go to see a band & get an album for $30. Most of the places out here, charge upwards of $50 a ticket *each*, and for the bigger bands well over $100!

Either I am very lucky, or you are very unlucky, but I just opened the link again and scrolling down a page shows a big red slow download picture and a red download button below that.

-- david
Papa.DRB

ps. If it is ok with Ravien, I will put it in Dropbox.

It does not require purchase.

Scroll down to "slow download" and click there. Enter the barely readable captcha (?) words, then wait 30 seconds.

Started playing in 1986, as an adult. The DM at the time ran Temple of Elemental Evil, which we finished. After that, a different DM ran a BECMI game, which ended at 18th level. We started a new campaign using the Dragon Lance modules, but the group fell apart. I then started a campaign with my, then teenage son and his friends and finished Temple of Elemental Evil with them.

I took over DM duties and ran Shackled City which we finished. Ran a series of Dungeon magazine adventures / modules which took the players to about 19th level and had a big finale. Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil which ended in a TPK after entering the Inner Fane. Then Rise of the Runelords which fell apart in Chapter 3 mostly due to DM burnout. Then a mini-campaign in Falcon's Hollow area which ended at level 9 (planned).

Now, I am DM'ing Kingmaker, and playing in Serpent Skull, both near the end of the Chapter 2 on alternate Monday evenings.

So, 2 fell apart, 1 ended with a TPK, and 6 finished as planned. This is with a normal playing schedule of weekly for about 3-4 hours, perhaps 45 weeks a year considering missed sessions due to holiday & vacation.

-- david
Papa.DRB

Edit: Rats, completely forgot Legacy of Fire before the Kingmaker/Serpent Skull campaign, so up finished to 7.

1) A good thread on Fey tricks is HERE

2) 2 horses to carry all the stuff they are stealing from Oleg. I had them as "normal" horses, ie. not combat trained mounts, and let the PCs "sell" them to Oleg, or keep them if they needed horses.

Hi david, every character has their name directly underneath them on the pdf. And once they're cut out, I also label the underside of the bases so if anyone forgets who is who, you can just look underneath.

Ah, thanks!

As lanyard is a real word, and keycord is not according to dictionary.reference.com, I'll stick with the real word.

Full XP.

My group is 5 guys plus me, the DM. The youngest is my just turned 18 year old grandson, then his dad (late 30's). Everyone else is 30+ or older, so none of the "children issues". However, there are occasions when only one will not be here and it is usually vacation, or work trip, or jury duty, etc. One of the players had jury duty all fall of 2011 and was either late or missed 4 sessions.

I also level the party up as appropriate. Now, I do keep track of XP as I have a spreadsheet where all I do is enter the opponent and CR and it automatically calculates everything. I do this just to make sure we don't get too out of whack for level points.

Also, they split loot pretty evenly. I "customize" most weapons / armor / etc. to specific individuals so even though the Ranger got the +2 fey bane greatsword last night, the rest of them know that their turn for something really nice is coming.

Laithoron,

Can you help me with Stylish for Firefox?

I want to change the color of the threads that do not have new posts in them. It looks like their is a style sheet:

http://paizo.com/include/stylesheet-2004.css

With the following class which defines the color:

.messageboardListingNoNewPosts a:link {
font-size: 12px;
color: #706AB3;

I'd like to make it almost anything else so it stands out from the other thread titles, and I just can't figure out how Stylish works. I do have it installed, but this old, retired, main-frame programmer is lost in all the details.

Nick,

Thank you for doing this. My father-in-law and one brother-in-law had the same issue (alcoholism). Thank goodness one recovered, however one is still in the dark.

You are a much better man for addressing the issue(s) and taking responsibility for them, and for taken care of yourself.

Good luck, and God bless.

If I want to get directly to the Pathfinder Paper Mini products, I can input:

Could you put some kind of direct link to the Pathfinder Pawns also? I currently have to input:

and weed out the two Dr. Lucky entries.
