I think he's talking about this thread... Since we lost the license, we no longer have the ability to make the web supplements and to put them up on the website. So those last three supplements will never see the light of day unless WotC does them, and with 4e coming down the turnpike, I doubt it is every going to be on the top of their list.
All of the iconics (so far) art and backstories have been posted in the Paizo Blog, although it may take a bit of searching to find them.
Is that a company policy? Why is that?How're the scaling notes on this one? This sounds like it would slot in nicely with my current campaign, but the players will be like 8th-9th level by the time the adventure docket is open.We don't include level scaling notes on the GameMastery Modules line. Space considerations, I would guess. They'd rather not cut form the adventure to put in a sidebar that basically will say the same thing in every adventure. Plus it's usually pretty easy to do... take a few class levels away from the BBEG's for lower level parties, add a few hit dice for higher level parties, etc.
Paizo has stated that they'd pretty much rather stay out of the magazine business for various reasons. However, Pathfinder Companion looks as if it is going to offer alot of similar content for Pathfinder that used to be in the pages of Dragon. Check it out in August.
Unless they some how produce a larger number of feats that makes a person with a high INT, not many fighter types are going to place their best stat into INT. They have too much to worry about, such as strength, con, and dex, to bother putting an extremely high stat in there. Even Wisdom is often more sought after before int, because of the higher will save bonuses, as well as spot and listen checks (in the past at least).Combat expertise are now restricted to wizards and rouges.how so? That's not a "restriction"... I can have a fighter with a high INT just as easily as having a wizard with a high STR.
It's just a rebranding. GameMastery Modules will now be called Pathfinder Modules, there's no difference in the two. Since the modules are all set in Golarion, the campaign world of Pathfinder, it made since to call them Pathfinder Modules. The GameMastery brand is being used on game-aids that are more systemless, like the Critical Hit Deck, Map Packs, Flip Maps, etc.
While I agree that calculations beforehand are quite benificial for ease of play, not all people will take the time to do this (especially some of my players). As "math-light" as your suggestion may be, I still prefer the alpha version, as it is almost "math-non-existant" and prevents a fighter from doing [slight exageration]a billion points of damage[/slight exageration] with power attack RAW.
One of the things that I like about the new power attack and combat expretise is that it minimizes the math. It's always your strength modifier or your intelligence modifier (depending on which feat you're using) and not a dynamic number that has to be recalculated and slows down the combat round. I'm all for it.
Paizo is the publisher for Necromancer Games, who will be putting out 4E products so, in this way, Paizo will have something in that market. Also, whenever WotC decides to pass on the GSL, I'm sure that the great minds at Paizo will have a look at it and start thinking about what they themselves could do with 4E - it just won't be in Pathfinder. No line has been drawn in the sand. The folks at Paizo are nothing if not excited about the hobby and will make the decision that best serves them and their fans.
Well I will admit I am frustrated that people keep trying to say that PRPG is 3.5, when it clearly is not. I am sure they love "the game", but their game is not 3.5. When the poll was out asking if people were planning on sticking with 3.5, going to 4th edition, following Paizo wherever, etc; I voted for sticking with 3.5. Now I read pro-4e saying things like, "Well you pro-3.5 guys got your wish." And I feel like I am taking crazy pills, no, the true pro-3.5 folks did not. The folks that said, "I'll follow Paizo wherever.", did. Some folk just refuse to be pleased...
I would like the see a cleric's god matter beyond the domain ability. Like:
Not to mention "role play"
That's cool. I would suggest customizing the positive energy bursts to the domains and allow the cleric to choose how they will be spent. For example - the war domain could add the clerics CHA modifier to the damage dealt by her allies for one round or some such. But that's not what positive energy does: it heals living things and damages undead things. Plus there's a host of divine feats that already do "other" things with your turn undead attempts.
