I am running Shattered Star in my home game, and one of the guys is playing a Dwarven Bard, Archeologist archetype. His starting stats were:

S: 9
D: 14
C: 12
I: 14
W: 10
cH: 17

with the dwarf changes to ability scores in. This is a 20 point buy. He is very effective as both bard and a bit of a rogue, and a knowledge monkey.

Hey, don't blame the computer. It will take offense, and that does not bode well for us!!!

So I accidentally clicked "Ignore" when I was going to reply to someone. How do I go about unignoring that person?

If it is the bag with teeth, leave him ignored. Otherwise scroll *all* the way down to the bottom of the page and you should see an "Ignored: |" with a list of folks you have ignored. Click on the one that you want to remove and refresh the page.

-- david

We have a female player who is playing a female fighter. Unfortunately she most likely wouldn't set off the trap. However, I can just see the male player / male dwarf bard setting it off. Now that is going to be bloody hilarious!!!!

@Kalandros

I am looking at something similar, but will probably take both Guide and Urban. As the "stealthy" guy for the new adventure, I also need to be able to somewhat handle traps, which Urban gives me.

Different weapon, looking at a Critical Build. Taking falchion, improved critical at 9th level, critical focus and blinding(?) at later levels.

I found a guide that is not in Zenith Games; The Comprehensive Pathfinder Guides Guide.

Could it be added please, thanks.

Since Yesterday I can't open the Guides.

Every time I try it, I get linked to a clear Google site.
What is wrong with it? What can I do to see the guides?

Which guides can you not see? If they are all the guides on the Google site, then perhaps you need to log in to Google to see them.

-- david

The City of Golden Death is not a free download.

What operating system are you using?

Have you tried Foxit or other PDF reader?

HERE are the ones that I am using.

-- david

See THIS post by Vic.

-- david

Yea, me too.

Windows Vista Home Premium (up to date)
FireFox 19.0.2

-- david

hmmm.. That looks quite interesting. Thanks !!

-- david

Anything in the online PRD only. Also the campaign will be Rise of the Rune Lords Anniversary Edition AP. I am more of a Core & APG kind of guy however.

What do I want? Trap Finding, Scouting, Damage dealer. Not that interested in knowledge skills. That is why I was thinking of the Ranger / Shadow Dancer.

-- david

I am preparing a character for our next campaign. As there are four players and the DM, we each play one of the "standard" roles; Tank, Healer, Arcanist, and Skill Monkey. I am playing an Oracle in the current campaign, so I get to choose one of the other roles. As I am somewhat more flexible than the others, I really don't care which one and will choose third, or fourth if one of the first two take Healer.

Now, I have a character concept for either the Tank and Arcanist roles, but I could use some help with the Skill Monkey.

I have been thinking of two possibles. 1) An Arcane Trickster but mostly 2) a Shadow Dancer. I've read several of the guides and am thinking of the Two-handed weapon Shadow Dancer, starting as an Urban Ranger so he gets Disable Device and Trap Finding.

Does anyone have any experiences with either of these? Does anyone have any other suggestions?

thanks,

-- david

My understanding is that the 15% discount on everything (other than 3PP PDFs) is only tied to the AP subscription. And that takes effect after or concurrent with the first AP subscription volume shipping.

-- david

Yes, there is a legal way. Each of your group member will have to create an account on Paizo. You then purchase the PDFs and "gift" it to there account name during checkout. I *think* that you will have to purchase each "group" of PDFs for a specific account separately from PDFs purchased for another account.

-- david

ps. not official, but Sara Marie or Keith should be along shortly.

My search fu really stinks today. I can *not* find the stats for a donkey or mule so I can calculate the carrying capacity.

I have the old 3.5 version that gives a mule 16 strength.

Can someone point me to the Pathfinder version,

thanks,

-- david

No rudeness implied or anything like that. I was just trying to let you know that you hit the perfect window of when CS was not in the office....

-- david

You realize that the time that you posted this thread was 20 minutes past the work day yesterday, and the bump is 25 minutes before the work day today?

-- david

Apologies, but please cancel this order, thank you.

-- david

On a blog I read that mythic characters will be mythic at the start of a game,so does that mean that this ap won't start at first level ?

Read the post by JJ, seven above yours.

This is really silly and not a bhd (big hairy deal), but I just looked closely at my email for February order, and it has;

1 x Pathfinder Adventure Path #67: The Snows of Summer (Reign of Winter 1 of 6) (PFRPG) Print Edition (preorder) @ 16.09 = $16.09

instead of $15.99.

-- david

Yea, I see the same thing and I live just over the border in NY. I get the Windsor CT scan, then as the postman is scanning it while putting it in my mail box, the Newburgh NY, Poughkeepsie NY and the delivery scan in the next 30 minutes... *sigh*

Look HERE.

Relevant information from the 1st post in the thread:
Authorization: January 18th
Started shipping: January 22nd
Estimated to be finished shipping: January 31st

-- david

It will not show up till you get the "is expected to ship" email, and Feros is correct about this is a hard month, between Kickstarter, lots of orders, and a four day work week last week, customer service has said most stuff should be shipped out by Friday of this week.

Mine became active early, but because I only had the AP #66, I got lucky and I think it got in the first batch of stuff released.

-- david

My character just acquired an item that has the following spell-like ability:

3/day—alter self, darkness, spider climb, true strike

Does that mean he gets to cast:
a) twelve spells, ie. three of each?
b) three spells, all the same, ie. three true strikes?
c) three spells, mix and match?
d) something else?

I can not find anything in the PRD to substantiate any of the above choices, so could you point me there. Thanks,

-- david

Why not just buy a portable hard drive? For that ($84) you could have a terrabyte WD with USB 3.0. I have backup copies on my Laptop, and keep another backup on my portable HD.

Yea, that is what I did, although I got a 2TB drive.

HERE is a link to Best Buy 1TB drive for $79.99, if you are in USA.

-- david

While not an official answer, normally Customer Support suggests you deal with the retailer that you bought them from first. Also, there is a method on the Wiz Kids site to ask for replacements for broken figures (LINK). If all else fails, send a note to Customer.Service@Paizo.com.

-- david

Since the ioun stone "pseudo" fuses with the shard, in my game, I am just adding any overlapping bonus and saying that the combined shard / stone gives the total of both. In this case +2 AC.

However, YMMV.....

-- david

I don't know about using both, but here is a link to the blog which contains the holiday promotion code. It is running out today(?), I think....

LINK

-- david

It is up to the DM.

However, the "general" standard is two traits, one campaign and one other.

What I did, was;
One campaign and one basic *or*
One society and one basic *or*
One society and one campaign

-- david

All,

When I get up Saturday morning, I will look at this thread and post that submissions have ended. That is roughly 48 hours from now. I will then post by Monday morning the selections.

-- david

Ranger (infiltrator) - Adaption (Ex) says that at 3rd, 8th, 13th and 15th level you get an adaption, etc.... And this replaces Ranger favored terrain.

*However* Ranger favored terrain is at 3rd, 8th, 13th and 18th level.

Both the PRD and the latest PDF say the same thing, so I was wondering if perhaps a typo sneaked into both and adaption should really be at 18th and not 15th level.

-- david

@Vosche, yes but lets say two to a customer and let me know which one you are interested in submitting.

-- david

@Vosche:

Varisia. On the right hand side of the map, you should see "The Cinderlands" and to the right of that is the Mindspin Mountains, and you should see a label "To the Hold of Belkzen". This campaign is placed right about there, perhaps a tad bit east.

PF Society faction information.

-- david

I would suggest Hold of Belkzen it even has some lacation that fit what you mention (one of the chapters of the fiction novella 'the compass stone' Eando Kline runs into a 'mountainous stone shaped like a giant dragon' I believe this is on one edge of the hold, which is known to be the country full of orcs.

Ah, yes. That will do quite nicely. What I did was put the eastern border of the area, against the western border of the Hold of Belkzen and the southern edge of the area, against the northern Mindspin Mountains, which fits just nicely and even has a river on the northwestern border of the area.

It also has the orc tribes, and the Shoanti which can be the various tribal lands.

Thanks!!!

-- david

Downloaded the new PRD via HTTrack and received the following error messages:

-- david

I suggest the mana wastes if you dont care about primal magic screwing with casters and firearms being prevalent.

Thanks for the suggestion. I should have mentioned above, but I don't like guns in my fantasy so I already eliminated the Mana Wastes.

-- david

A 200 mile by 200 mile area, that is badlands/wastelands/not desert with a small town in the south east corner (800 inhabitants) about 80% human, but all the pc races are there. There is a single mountain peak in the north west area. It rains almost daily, but the area is still very dry (think of Arizona or New Mexico in the US).

I've thought of western Katapesh or Nex, Osirion, Thuvia, even Galt, but can't quite figure out what would be best.

This is for a home campaign maybe a PbP. I have converted a 3.5 box set 1-20 level adventure and that is the area where it takes place.

There are also some goblin and orc tribes, as well as scattered local human villages that inhabit the this inhospitable land.

Any suggestions where this could best be situated?

HERE is a link to the map of the area.

Tools -> Preferences -> Autoload Sources with PC

Make sure it is unchecked. If it is not, uncheck it, ok (save) and exit PCGen. Load up PCGen and try again. If there still is a problem, send me the .pcg file to the yahoo id and I'll take a look at it.

-- david

A 68th level character? Really? 8 HD outsider, 30 rogue, 30 sorcerer.

You also loaded dang near every 3.5 rulebook out there. I lost count (5801 characters in the sources, ie. CAMPAIGN line).

The log file is 2060 lines long, mine was a lot longer and that is after turning off deprecated and unconstructed references.

All the above said, however, only the following templates are loaded and most of them are in the TEMPLATES section of the character file.
Automatic Arcane Battle Mastery
Bite ~ Claw (Medium)
Demigod
Demon Common Traits
Divine Rank
Divine Rank (1)
Divine Spellcasting (Sorcerer)
Male Only
Regional Affinity (Varisia)
Remove Resistance to Electricity

Where the extra 4 templates are coming from is beyond me. All I can say is that some ability is calling the TEMPLATE:UNDEAD, and the other templates tag and is loading them. There are 99 lst files that have TEMPLATE:UNDEAD in them, so there are probably more instances of that template.

I then edited the character file and only loaded:
3.5 RSRD Advanced
3.5 RSRD Basics
3.5 RSRD Divine
3.5 RSRD Epic
3.5 RSRD Monsters
Necromancer Games - The Tome of Horrors Revised

Still had errors, but not as many and they were of the ilk "could not find xxxx".

Still only loaded the templates above, minus the Varisia one.

Try, the last thing I did (edit the .pcg file) and keep only the six sources. I highly suspect that there is a homebrew in there that is loading the extra templates, but I can't find it.

-- david

Dotting for interest, and dice rolls....

3d6 + 1 ⇒ (6, 1, 6) + 1 = 14
3d6 + 1 ⇒ (5, 5, 1) + 1 = 12.
3d6 + 1 ⇒ (2, 3, 5) + 1 = 11.
3d6 + 1 ⇒ (4, 2, 3) + 1 = 10.
3d6 + 1 ⇒ (5, 5, 2) + 1 = 13.
3d6 + 1 ⇒ (2, 4, 1) + 1 = 8.

-- david

Edit: Ugh, the dice roller hates me. I'll do a 25 point buy build.

Updated per your response in the discussion thread, and thanks!

@GM Birch - I think the confusion is that when you say Cure Light Wounds (CLW) you are referring to the potion of that spell, right?

Now you say that, I can see the confusion. I read the post as potions of CLW, which is fine for me. Now I re-read, I suspect the reques was for scrolls.

So - scrolls = none, potions of CLW = yes

Ah. Yes, the original request was for scrolls. Gotcha, potions ok, scrolls no.

Another question, please.

Are potions or scrolls available for purchase at character creation? If yes, what level max? I am thinking of a scroll of Restoration (lessor) and a couple of Cure Light Wounds.

-- david

You can have the Cure Light Wounds but not the scroll.

Sorry, I do not understand your response. But then, maybe I just need more coffee.

@Papa - 1) Point Buy, yes.

2) Multi-class should be OK, though seems DM doesn't want folks in conflict over roles/tasks. I'd suggest focus on Cleric, maybe with mention of a brother/sister monastic order... Setting up the future multi-classing.

To ignore your questions would be rude but not to reference Black Thorn would be wrong too, so...Black Thorn is right on oth counts. As the game moves on, multi-classing might be useful to plug a gap but I'm not expecting many holes to being with if we have a balanced party. And a cleric would be a really useful party member from the outset.

2) The multi-class would be a one level dip into monk at 2nd character level and then cleric all the way. That would put spell casting on par with an Oracle, ie. 1/2 level behind a full cleric.

This is not to step on anyone else, but it makes sense for the background that I am thinking of and it makes him not completely useless in combat.

-- david

1st level - cleric
2nd level - monk
3rd level and beyond - cleric

Another question, please.
