These are great! Thanks for posting them. My group is currently in Lightless Depths, so some of these are right on time for them. Keep 'em coming!

Copper Dragon Question (Dragons Revisited)
RETH-Mog (Pathfinder Chronicles Charter Superscriber; GameMastery Maps Subscriber),

Wind Warrior avatar

Regarding Copper Dragons in Dragons Revisited, I think I may have spotted a couple errors (although I may be missing something since I’ve seen no discussion on this). It seems as though there may have been some confusion that Coppers were of the fire persuasion, rather than earth/acid. On page 30, it makes reference to their fiery breath, and then later on the same page it talks about them exploring areas fatal to dwarves such as molten magma. Also, on the next page, it mentions them emitting great gouts on fire when drunk.

Now, I guess that they could do some of these feats using magic, but I would think it would be mentioned if they were assuming magic to gain a fiery breath weapon.

Anyway, it’s not a huge deal, I was just wondering if there was something there I wasn’t seeing.

For what it’s worth, I’ve just read up through the copper chapter, and I absolutely love the book. It may be my favorite of the Chronicles line. Each dragon type is very unique and interesting. Great job Paizo!

"Ah crap, he's intelligent, NG and all. No food today."

I would feel really cheated if I were a Giant Raven or Giant Hawk ;)


Actually, Giant Eagle is a great food source, with no alignment repercussions.

Order #987899
RETH-Mog (Pathfinder Chronicles Charter Superscriber; GameMastery Maps Subscriber),

Wind Warrior avatar

My subscription order #987899 shows a message saying that the payment method was declined. I checked the bank account and there is plenty of money in there. Also, I called the bank to ask about it and they confirmed that they approved the charge. I'm not really sure what the best thing to do at this point is. I've always used the same card for my subscriptions, with no problems. I sent an e-mail to customer service as well, to cover all my bases.

I'd really like to have this order in my hands when I leave for GenCon on the 13th. I have another debit card for a different account if it is needed. What is the best way for me to handle this?

Thanks.

Looking For Players (Pittsburgh)
RETH-Mog (Pathfinder Chronicles Charter Superscriber; GameMastery Maps Subscriber),

Wind Warrior avatar

Hey there. I'm in Pittsburgh (Swissvale to be more specific). I've got 2 games going on right now, but don't really have any spots open, or time to run another. If you or your buddy is a DM, I might be able to hook you up with some players, or play myself. There's a game store in Oakmont that I frequent that has a pretty good community. Shoot me an e-mail JDavidF58 (at) hotmail (dot) com. If nothing else, I can introduce you to my gaming community.

Flaws and traits
RETH-Mog (Pathfinder Chronicles Charter Superscriber; GameMastery Maps Subscriber),

Wind Warrior avatar

My group and I personally love flaws and traits. As you said, flaws are a good way to help get more feats, and they're a fun roleplaying tool. I even gathered all of the official flaws (from UA and several dragon issues), and typed them up into a flaw document, which is now an extremely valuable tool for all our campaigns.

While it's true that fairly meaningless flaws can be chosen (murky-eyed is a common selection), I've never found that it unbalances the game, although others' experiences may be different.

Heh. Yeah, that was my wife that posted that. We just figured that the post got eaten. But apparently it was there, and something just got messed up. Thanks for re-posting the text there. If it doesn't find it's way back, we can re post it.

Skills?

Put me in the "Me likey skill points" camp. Either way, I will keep skill points for my game.

Campaign Coins: Starter Set
RETH-Mog (Pathfinder Chronicles Charter Superscriber; GameMastery Maps Subscriber),

Wind Warrior avatar

I bought 2 boxes of these at GenCon and they are awesome! We also have a small chest (like 3x6 inches or so) that we got from a craft store, and with the coins in there for the players to count, it's way better than saying, "You find 2,438 copper, 438 silver". They are amazingly high quality, and I will probably buy more.

Huh, guess I should do a review of them.

*gets out calender* when did yours ship out? Mine says shipped on the 2nd, which means it's only been 7 days. (it doesn't get picked up til the next day, plus 5-10 BUSINESS days means no weekends and no Columbus day - so US subscribers have until thursday before they are even late)

I'll be there. I know I'm not a big name around here, but it would be cool if I saw some of you guys (I'm a HUGE lurker and feel like I know some of you quite well by reading the boards all day). Anyway, if there's some kinda meetup or whatnot, I'll check it out. Also, I'll try to hit the Paizo seminars, they were cool last year.

Question About Thorn Bow (W1)
RETH-Mog (Pathfinder Chronicles Charter Superscriber; GameMastery Maps Subscriber),

The last line under the Thorn Bow description states "Thorn bows cannot be made into composite thorn bows." but the roseblood sprites have composite thorn bows. It's no big deal, but I'm worndering what was the intent?

Rauthaven Stats
RETH-Mog (Pathfinder Chronicles Charter Superscriber; GameMastery Maps Subscriber),

Wind Warrior avatar

Does anyone know if there are stats for Rauthaven anywhere? I looked around in a few places, but couldn't find any. I'm just looking for an idea of what kind of things my PCs can do while there (buying and selling and whatnot). If not, does anyone have an idea of what the population is like, and maybe what the gp limit may be?

It is very possible that it's in an obvious place and I've missed it and, if so, please just point me in the right direction. I have access to every 3.X book and magazine.

Thanks.

Question About My Gamemastery Subscription

Question About My Gamemastery Subscription
RETH-Mog (Pathfinder Chronicles Charter Superscriber; GameMastery Maps Subscriber),

Wind Warrior avatar

I recently subscribed to the Gamemastery Modules. Was I too late to receive a copy of D1? If so, is there any way that it can be added to my subscription and sent to me or do I need to just order it normally? The reason I ask is because I would like the free pdf that it comes with. If I was too late and it cannot be added to the subscription, no big deal. I'll just order it normally. Thanks.

At first glance, I thought 2nd level, so I think your Clr2, Sor/Wiz3 would be appropriate. Despite doing 6 points of ability damage, it's not nearly as effective as doing several point of damage to a key ability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here's a question.

If we convert our subscriptions to Pathfinder, will we be considered "Charter Subscribers" and thus get the free player's guide? Perhaps if we select to continue with a month by month subscription?

I will most likely be hitting GenCon again this year. I have a friend who runs a gaming shop and he sets up a booth every year (if you play Magic, stop by the Mr. Nice Guy Games booth). Last year was my very first GenCon and it rocked, and although I didn't participate in any gaming events, I did hit 3 out of the 4 Paizo seminars, and they were sweet.

I'll try to check out one of your games, Steve. I've really enjoyed your adventures in Dungeon. Tides of Dread may be my favorite of all time.

What have you used from the DC?
RETH-Mog (Pathfinder Chronicles Charter Superscriber; GameMastery Maps Subscriber),

Wind Warrior avatar

One of the players in my STAP campaign is playing an amphibeous Tibbit wizard.

We now use the crit tables for every game we play.

I hope to someday play a sha'ir, and also a dvati (perhaps a dvati sha'ir?)

I love the Dragon Compendium, it's one of the best sourcebooks.

Non-PHB Races in Savage Tide
RETH-Mog (Pathfinder Chronicles Charter Superscriber; GameMastery Maps Subscriber),

We started a week and a half ago, playing in the Forgotten Realms. We have:

Aasimar Healer 1
Aasimar Paladin 1 (Torm)
Tiefling Scout 1
Amphibious Tibbit Wizard 1

The party is all female, so no romance with Lavinia.
The healer and scout are played by my fiancee, twins born to a half-nymph star elf mother(her character from SCAP) and a half-fiend/half-celestial father.

Rhagodessa Grapple Mod

James Jacobs wrote:
The rhagodessa does indeed have a +4 racial bonus on Grapple checks—a benefit of its highly specialized grabbers covered with suckers and hooks. That bit of info looks like it got left out of the stat block, unfortunately. In any event, yes, its' grapple check is correct. It's supposed to be a menace in melee, but against ranged attacks it's not so rough.

Thanks for the info James!

Rhagodessa Grapple Mod

Pop'N'Fresh wrote:
So you can either run this creature with the normal +7 grapple modifier, or rule that its pedipalps, which are quite nasty with hooks and suckers, grant it the +4 bonus to grapple checks (which I did). The pedipalps grant this beastie a free bite attack with a +4 bonus while grappling so you could argue that the +4 bonus also applies to the grapple check.

I was thinking along the same lines. I thought maybe the +4 applied to both grapple checks and the bite attack.

Rhagodessa Grapple Mod
RETH-Mog (Pathfinder Chronicles Charter Superscriber; GameMastery Maps Subscriber),

Thanks for the response Steve. As far as I could tell, base attack of +3, Str of +4, medium creature makes a grapple of +7. I saw no other mentioned bonuses. The stat block says +11. Perhaps it was an error.

Could someone break down the grapple mod of the Rhagodessa for me? I can't seem to figure it out, but I'm probably missing a bonus somewhere.

When we print a watermark or other texture in the background of an adventure, we try to keep that background faint and unobtrusive. What do people think: are they too visible? We can always lighten them up more or do them less, but I personally think that they look pretty nice with backgrounds like that. And although players never see the magazine, it still needs to look awesome; DMs deserve pretty picturs and neat-looking adventures just as much as players do... perhaps more, since they do so much work!

As for ink costs... I believe that it costs us the same if we print a white page with a single black dot in the center as it does if we print a rainbow elemental fighting an animated box of 64 crayons; changing the backgrounds wouldn't save any money.


Wow. Someone needs to write an adventure with that epic rainbow elemental vs. crayon box battle in it.

Then again, that black dot sounds pretty sweet...

What days do you guys play? I'm from Swissvale, so Monroeville and Oakland are both easily accessible for me. Not sure if I'd be availible (getting married soon), but I'd like to try. (Sorry for late response, don't check gamer connection often)
