I am, plain ol' with no Archetype. He is my iconic PC, the one that is likely to show up in all my campaigns in one capacity or another. :)


mainly for multiclassing (3 level of weapon master for a +4 to attack), but ilike the class, especialy for the sword and shield build.


Of course! Unless you mean 'Fighter', as in 'the Fighter class'. Then no. Except as an occasional dip for feats.


AM BARBARIAN AM SHORTHAND FOR 'DR. BARBARIAN AM BARBARIAN, PHD.' THAT AM FULL NAME OF BARBARIAN, WHO AM HAVING ENGINEERING DEGREE AND SUCCESSFUL FINANCIAL INSTITUTION.

BARBARIAN AM ALSO NOTED FOR SMASH CASTY LIKE AM SOME KIND OF RED-HEADED STEPCHILD.

BATTY BAT AM BARBARIAN MOUNT. BARBARIAN AM 90% SURE AM DIRE BAT, BUT EVERYONE AM SAYING AM SOME KIND OF DRAGON, OR PONY, OR SOME WEIRD COMBINATION OF ALL OF ABOVE. NOW SOME CRAZYS AM SAYING AM SOME KIND OF CASTY.(HAH HAH. SILLY CRAZYS. AM HOOT.)

Spoiler: PFS 2- 05 Eyes of the Ten Part 3: Red Revolution:
Note that Skelg’s greataxe has the vicious property on it, but that his damage reduction prevents any of the return damage the +2 vicious greataxe would deal back to him.

This is written very plainly in a Paizo statblock so unless they have come out and said its a mistake I don't see why DR would not prevent the damage from the vicious property.


AM BABIES EVIL? IF AM SO, SMITE EVIL WITH LOVE AND KINDNESS. IF EVIL AM REMAINING, SMITE EVIL WITH SWORD. IF AM STILL EVIL, USE MORE SWORD.

Our Adventure Paths are currently one of the most successful aspects of the entire Paizo operation. They're what they are after nearly 10 years of adjustments and learning from previous mistakes. It's very very very very unlikely we'll ever make significantly drastic changes to the format. Any adjustments to the AP line we do make will be in the form of "baby steps," such as how we adjusted the first page of the adventure or added magic item and NPC appendices to Jade Regent.

Changing the length of an AP or starting one at anything other than 1st level, I fear, would damage the AP's success in the long run. Might even damage it in the short run.

I like the AP's as they are and don't want them changed, with that said though...

Maybe it is time to consider the mini AP. As something above and beyond. I know things are stretched but if new hires go out, then a possible option would be the 3 book mini AP. Perhaps done every other month like adventures. A bonus with them is they could be set at different levels sorta a cross between a adventure series and a AP.

I put this in another thread, but I thought it deserved its own thread all to its own.

Many people are confused on the wording with the rule with playing up, most of it comes down to tier vs sub-tier and wording in the guide not being clear enough on that.

Through conversation on these boards with Josh the actual meaning of the rule has become clear so I wish to lay it out below by giving a level by level on what Sub-Tiers a character can play in.

I will Start off with Terms

Tier - All scenarios Fall in a Tier Range, The Range is listed Below.

  • Tier 1-5
  • Tier 1-7
  • Tier 5-9
  • Tier 7-11
  • Tier 12

Sub-Tiers - All Tiers Except Level 12 have Sub-Tiers, they are a way to give a wider range to different levels to play the same scenario but still make sure the group is all of similar level.

  • Tier 1-5 Sub-Tiers: 1-2 & 4-5
  • Tier 1-7 Sub Tiers: 1-2, 3-4 & 6-7
  • Tier 5-9 Sub Tiers: 5-6 & 8-9
  • Tier 7-11 Sub Tiers: 7-8 & 10-11
  • Tier 12: no Sub Tiers

You are allowed to play Up or Down 1 Sub-Tier within a scenario if your level falls in the overall Tier of the scenario, but the GM/coordinator should try to avoid it.

You are not allowed to play up Tier

So that Said here is the break out per Level of the character, * designates preferred and GM/Coordinator should always put them in preferred if at all possible.

  • Tier 1-7 Scenario: Cannot play in these Scenarios
  • Tier 5-9 Scenario: Cannot play in these Scenarios
  • Tier 7-11 Scenario: Cannot play in these Scenarios
  • Tier 12 Scenario: Tier 12*

Play, Play, Play cannot be used to deviate from this, if you have seen otherwise, there was a mistake made and people make mistakes *Even Josh*, don't use that Mistake to believe you can use Play, Play, Play.

If you need more clarity I will gladly give it.

Please don't use this thread to argue that you don't like the rule or you want it changed.

This may not see a 2nd printing but since I can see many people using these I thought I'd post issues that I've seen.
I've had someone else look over anything I've posted so I feel reasonably
confident about issues posted.
I'm going from lowest CR and working my way up.

Let's go...

Do the subject feats from "Halflings of Golarion" work with a halfling staff sling? reading the description of halfling staff sling in the Core rulebook, the reloading rules appear the same as the regular sling. Should these two feats also apply to it then?
