Hi Situation came up in a recent game. An Oracle of Heavens (with Awesome Display) threw a Colour Spray at a 9 Headed Pyrohydra. Hydra failed save (and counted as 2HD) GM ruled:
Is this correct? Thanks
Hi A friend of mine has been running a campaign starting at lvl 12, including the Occultist book,amongst others. In a recent battle (I'm a Kineticist. lvl 12 TK, took Fire as 2md element at 7th) I had to go invisible to stay alive & summoned Fire Elementals (which lasted about a round). Now my friend says that this is broken, nore powerful than even a wizard who can only summon a few per day. (Forgetting the fct that I only summoned about 5 that day). He says that is broken and never wants to use the Occult book ever again, anywhere. This is offset by his determinatination that another friend in the same game wields an oversized chainsaw in each hand, with many attacks each round, doing over 100hp damage more than my Kinetecist each round. Does anyone else think Kineticists are overpowered in light of the dual wielding oversized chainsaws monster? I'll accept his views since he's my friend & it's his game. Wondering if I'm so out of kilter not to think his is the only view? Thanks
Does a creature who is immune to bludgeoning still take damage from a bludgeoning & piercing weapon?
Hi I'm a regular GM at a couple of conventions here in UK. Is there a way we can get some store credit to 'buy' PDF's instead of books? It's just that I have mobility issues and although the books look great, it's impossible to carry them around. (Won't all fit in a rucksack & I walk with a stick) I typically need over a dozen hardbacks for my PFS games at Conception, so I carry a tablet PC with them as PDF's. So it would be easier to just get a PDF of the book instead. It would also be cheaper for Paizo, since they won't need to give printed copies as a reward. Instead we can just be given a voucher code which we can redeem when we're next online. It also gives a a greater choice in what we can get. I'm running a game at Dragonmeet on Saturday, plus at least 3 (usually 5 or more) at Conception in January. Just a suggestion (save a tree)!
Hi Just checked out the pregens for the Occultist Adventures, specifically the Kineticist. Yoon starts out as a Human Child. Nice background, but I didn't know you could start out as a child character. Can you take child characters? Or is this just fluff? Yoon is small and gains all the benefits as such, so probably not. Like the character (but prefer different feats). Any clarifications would be most helpful. Thanks
Hi Can anyone please confirm/deny if Beserker of the Society Trait (Pathfinder Chronicles:Faction Guide) can be taken by Bloodragers? It lists Barbarian/Society as prereqs. I believe it should be - makes sense, but checking on the detail. Thanks
Hi Just got (effectively) taken out by Reckless Infatuation/Reckless Loathing combo in an Adventure Path.*
If so, I could just cast it on an NPC villain who knows a Venture Captain (not present), thereby nerfing them to staggered condition for several days & making them leave the vicinity. Also, does the new save happen for every different dangerous situation, or just once? Thanks
Hi There's been some debate on the PSOC site for some time now, including the role of GM's. Now there's an on-line VC, can paizo show some support for those prolific GM's who set up games for us? Not only do they have to prep the scenarios as normal, but have to deal with the technical complexities of setting up games online, often across international time zones. I was wondering if there could be some award along the GM Star system, to reward those who promote the on-line games? We already award coins/tokens to those who go 'above & beyond the call...', as I saw at PaizoCon UK this year. Doesn't have to be much, but some token of appreciation would be nice. Thanks
Hi Been seeing some Magus/Gunslinger mixes recently, but can't see how they use Spell Combat & Spell Strike? Spell Combat "....must have one hand free (even if the spell being cast does not have somatic components) while wielding a light or one-handed melee weapon in the other hand". Spellstrike "...he can deliver the spell through any weapon he is wielding as part of a melee attack". According to that he can't use either ability through his guns. Is there a feat/ability/prestige class that allows him to use them with a fierarm? Thanks
Hi Can GM's ban classes from games they advertised on open forums? I'm not talking where players got together privately, but open forums where a GM states they're running a game online at certain time, and openly asks for players. Then adds "Summoners need not apply" This goes against the inclusiveness idea, and has started a heated debate. Thanks
Hi Recently played with an 11th lvl Bard, really tricked out for UMD. He had a Ring of Revelation, so he could UMD and Channel Pos Energy as a 20th Lvl Oracle! I can't really see how - since technically the rings themselves have CL listed. Surely he could only Channel Energy (using UMD) as an Oracle of the listed CL of the crafter of the ring? Thinking about getting this ring for one of my chars, presumably I'll be limited to channelling as per Oracle CL as I mentioned?
Thanks
Hi Been playing a True Neutral char for a while now, but been playing her as 'mostly' Lawful, and always Good. Can I change alignment to LG and get it signed off? This is NOT a Barbarian/Monk multiclass thing, but will affect my choice of my new class now I've levelled. (Human Synthesist 2, just made 3rd Lvl). Is there some way I can spend Prestige Awards to do this, or do I just need a GM to sign it off? Still keeping my current Faction (Taldor). (If it matters was thinking of going Paladin for various reasons). Just looking for a simple yes or no, possibly some clarification if PA's are involved. Thanks
Hi Gods & magic states: Adepts, bards, rangers, sorcerers, and
Do they get this in PFS?
Hi Was recently asked by a US player about Racial Boons, and how to implement them. Hadn't the foggiest idea what he was on about, never having seen them in UK. So, as the the title says, what are these Racial Boons, will they be available in UK, and when? We've just had Dragonmeet in London, and I'vev not seen any racial boons. WIll they be available at Conception (in Jan) and how do we players get hold of them? (I'm interested in the nerfed version of Tiefling in Council of Thieves). As a GM, I'm not sure how to deal with them, since there's nothing under 'allowable resources' (So I'll prob have to disallow). Thanks
Hi Is the Shadow Lodge the new IPCC (Independent Pathfinder Complaints Commission), since they're the new Pathfinder Watchdog? (For non-Brits IPCC is the Independent Police Complaints Commision, or IAD in USA) Thanks
