Long time player of PF. New to PF2e. Playing a wizard in my first foray into this rule-set. We just attained 2nd level and looking at available feats.

I gain a "wizard class feat" and a "skill feat".

The rogue in the party gain a "skill increase" (which I don't get until 3rd level). I agree rogues should bump up their skills at a faster rate.

Here is my dilemma. One of the 2nd level Skill Feats that is listed is "Magical Crafting". Prerequisite: Expert in Craft Skill.

Now I can't get Craft to Expert level until 3rd level. Of course at that point I don't get another Skill Feat until 4th level. Thus that 2nd level skill feat I cannot take until 4th level - but the rogue companion at 2nd level can raise his skill to Expert and take this feat.

So am I looking at this right? A rogue can craft magical items 2 levels sooner than the wizard? Either I'm overlooking something or this is a headscratching revelation in game design.

I'm starting a new homebrew sci-fi campaign with influences from various sci-fi settings: Starfinder, The Last Parsec, Firefly/Serenity, and Mass Effect.

The PCs are part of a crew belonging to mining/salvage ship - similar to Firefly. An AI rule/controls the ship that was built by the previous owner and bestowed the ship to his former crew (the captain dies in the first episode of the campaign).

The adventure campaign is called Archon of the Galaxy. The ship and AI is called "Archon". Archon is an acronym.

But it doesn't have to be spelled exactly like that.

What I'm looking for is building the acronym. Each letter has a number of different options such as:

A = artificial, automated, Automatic, Access
R = Robotic, R
C = Computer, Communications, Central
N = Network

etc.

But it could be ARCON, ARKON, ARCONN ARKHON Whatever. So long as they refer to "her" as "Archon" when speaking. And the CON of ARCHON ARCON could be CONection.

I'm looking for from the forum-goes is to share some additional ideas for the letters, and an acronym.

Thanks.

Dear Paizo gods. Looks like I got to you a day late.

I would like to cancel the MODULES SUBSCRIPTION including this edition. If possible, please refund any charges accrued by me and ix-nay on sending this release.

I apologize for the late notice and hope it's not too inconvenient for you to finagle this request.

Please let me know.

I'm a HUGE fan of FGG. I've purchased every kickstarter and most of everything they've done for PF and 5e. I'm really looking forward to being on some of these events.

However, their starting or finish times break the norm and make is so that if I sign up for a lottery of one of their events, it makes it impossible for me to put down a secondary option at that time slot. For instance since it starts at 5PM I can't put anything on the lottery for the normal time slots of 1-6. It's all in or nothing. So if I don't get in at FGG event I have nothing for the afternoon selected.

Am I seeing this right?

Hi Paizonauts!

I am needing to cancel the PF Roleplaying subscription (only - I still want the modules and AP lines); I'm doing this only for fiscal reasons - there is no complaints w/ the quality of products or customer service - Paizo is still the best.

I meant to do this before the Bestiary 6 was charged but cest la vie. I can live with this development and I am looking forward to getting it.

SUMMATION: Please cancel PF Roleplaying Subscription (only) starting as of today - AFTER the Bestiary 6.

Thank you.

I have a nitpicky rule deciphering issue.

Hold Person says you're "frozen in place" and that you're "paralyzed". Does this mean the person is like in a rigid upright position almost like petrified - in exactly the same position they were before the effect?

IF so, does this mean that all conditions of "Paralysis" leaves a victim in this fashion?

OR

Is paralysis more like the medical definition of "paralysis" that we consider in the real world such as paraplegic who has no feeling below the neck. If so, such a person would flop to the floor immediately, unable to move, stand, or even hold onto an item (such as their weapon).

The wording for the conditions seems to imply that it is the former, as is the fact that moving through a paralyzed person's square is effectively difficult terrain - while a dead/unconscious laying on ground person does not constitute difficult terrain (but an argument can be made that it could be - especially large bodies).

I still show my shopping care the subscriptions for Pathfinder Roleplaying game which I added back in July or so for the Horrors book to be the first of that line, and the Adventure Path to start with book 1 of the current path (Strage Aeons).

I don't know what has happened, but I still dont see that they were ever scheduled to ship. I've added them and clicked on the subscription preferences to have stuff all wait to ship together; but now I see all that is scheduled to ship is my Pathfinder Modules line.

Any info or help you can provide would be appreciated.

Dear CS team,
This order was just (attempted to be) delivered. I handed it back to the mail carrier and asked her to return it to you. This is no fault of yours, but the product in it's cardboard envelope looks like it was attached by a barghest and was sundered.

The packaging was ripped in two places, and completely crumpled with two distinct creases that bent the binding width-wise and basically destroyed the integrity of the book/product.

I took several pictures with my cell-phone and didn't bother to even open it (further anyways). I can share or provide any of these pictures for you if you need them.

Regardless, at this point I asked that it be returned to you. It's not the carrier's fault I'm sure, but I told her that it was unacceptable to try to deliver it in that condition, and walk away. I can't imagine anyone would feel right dropping that off at the doorway, ringing the bell and then whistling on to the next stop.

Please let me know if you need any anything further from me, but I am hopeful that a replacement can be sent to me soon.

Thank you in advance.

Dear Customer Service,

I began working on a new campaign taking place underground. I wanted to obtain the PDFs from My Downloads of Cyclopean Deeps Vol 1 and Vol 2 (Frog God Games). I had not previously downloaded them. These were added to My Downloads in May 2013; and I believe they were kickstarter rewards.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1675907842/pathfinder-online-a-fantasy -sandbox-mmo/description

I downloaded Vol 1, and it's a very small 22 page PDF. Vol 1 should be more along lines of 200 pages as is the counterpart Vol 2 which I also downloaded and is correct.

I did some research on Frog God Games website, and their mini adventure ($4.99) is what it appears you have attached to My Downloads (in error) which is only the Intro adventure of the entire Vol 1 adventure.

https://www.froggodgames.com/all-products

Please review the actual file in My Downloads and attach the correct one, please.

Hey gang,

I've only ever run an Osirion Faction character (as a player). I ran a bunch of sessions for early levels over the past two weeks to start to get accustomed to running them, and I decided to make a new PFS character and give him my GM credit.

What I came up with is a Chaotic-Good Ulfen skald-like viking - a Barbarian/Rogue combo with a fairly bad temper and a bad in-your-face, cocky attitude (think George Clooney's character in Dusk till Dawn, Emilio Estevez' Billy the Kid and especially Kurt Russel's Wyatt Earp in Tombstone) one that favors guile and tact over just brutal savagery. Probably worshipping Gorum. He's come down from the Linnorn Lands - a fish out of water kinda representation.

I'll probably use the Spring Attack tree for feats and/or the mage-slaying ones.

What I don't yet know is which faction is most appropriate for such a character.

I was thinking Andoran has a lot of the same principles as I can envision for this character. But so too does the Shadow Lodge. Both appear to have a strong bias towards being controlled or others being controlled by tyranical powers. So they would be my obvious first and second choice - at least from a flavor standpoint. Both seems to have a great deal of "stealth" needs for their assignments based on the descriptions I've read in the Society Guide.

Osirion, Qadira, and Lantern Lodge just don't make sense for the character's cultural background. Silver Crusade sounds too paladinish and clerical nurturing that my character wouldn't really fit into. Cheliax is obviously too lawful and rigid for a good fit. Taldor too aristocratic and artsy for a scruffy looking nerf-herder like my character.

I can see him as a scoundrel - so Sczari isn't out of the question but I don't think it's the most intuitive to select either. It would have even more needs of stealth and I'm sure a great deal of sleight-of-hand needs. That only leaves Grand Lodge, and I simply don't know enough to form an opinion yet on that one - though it does seem to be more "bard" like with a lean towards knowledge.

So of the four that are possibly most appropriate: Andoran, Shadow Lodge, Sczarni, and Grand Lodge:

Can I get a few examples of some of the expectations of the mission awards so that I can find the most appropriate faction for this character, and of course when I go to "build" him, I cater to that faction in the way of skill points, etc.

As I said I've only ever "played" one faction, and since I ran 6 1st level games (three of which were the Intro mods) I didn't get the luxury of advancing my character by playing so I don't yet know where I need to be focusing my talents and skills etc.

(Due to my experiences as a player, I know Osirion for instance uses a lot of puzzles, history, lore, knowledge, and languages, in their mission needs; and I have a divination specialist wizard who is a perfect fit; I don't know what the bulk of assignments require for these other four - and that's what I'm after).

Any help or direction would be helpful. Thanks
Robert

18 people marked this as FAQ candidate.

Pg 150 of Core Rules states no penalty to bows when buckler is being "carried".

Can I assume Rules As Intended (RAI) that "Carried" means - "using the buckler for it's intended purpose" and not a literal translation of "carrying it somewhere somehow among your person?"

That being said - why is it that you can use a bow w/o penalty that clearly requires both hands/arms when using a bow, but when wielding a off-hand dirk or two handed claymore, it suddenly gets in the way - not only penalizing your attack roll, but robbing your AC bonus for the remainder of the round.

I'm not against penalizing the melee person in this case - I'm more concerned with NOT penalizing the archer who is already protected from most harm (usually) by choosing ranged combat.

Now that I have your attention, I have been contemplating a "tiered" based system for weapons/armor etc to provide some measure of flavor descriptiveness to craftsmanship of weapons/armor etc.

For wood-based weapons I need to come up with types of wood/branches that can be processed into weapons and would prefer those that are notable in Golarion.

Those who play Lord of the Rings Online can relate this mentality to that of the "rowan branches" Tier 1, "ash branches" Tier 2, "Yew branches" Tier 3, "Lebethron Branches" Tier 4, "Black Ash branches" Tier 5.

Each higher tier would be harder to come by - in more remote or dangerous regions and considered more valuable.....

In short are there known "tree" types in Golarion (specific to Golarion) that I could tie this idea to, (Kinda like Darkwood is special wood and Mithril or Adamantite is special metal - but those are game-generic and not setting specific); or if not should I just invent names for rare/exotic woods in areas.

Thanks

I am still a bit puzzled on how the Festival Edicts actually work. I understand the concept of essentially trading BP for Loyalty, but what I don't get is how to determine turn by turn basis how many festivals in a year are being done.

The amount of BP spent and the bonus to Loyalty is hinged on the number of annual festivals that are done.

So does the kingdom have to decide at the beginning of each year (or fiscal year or whatever) how many they intend to have that year and thus spend the increase in Consumption every month that year? If not - how does one adjudicate on a turn by turn basis?

"Were going to do a festival edict this month."
" Well that's the 3rd one this year so you're still not enough to get into the second benchmark so you're still gaining +1 to loyalty and that costs you 1 BP this turn."

Later

"Were doing another festival this turn."
"Ah that makes six this year, you're now spending 2 BP in additional consumption and your Loyalty bonus now increases to +2"

Then the next month if NOT festival happens that month do you lose the +2 Loyalty and NOT have a Consumption cost?

I'm sure it's a simple work-around - but for some reason I think I'm just overthinking this and can't seem to truly grasp how the concept is actually adjudicated.

How are others adjudicating this?

Thanks

I wanted to share something that I came up with during Friday's KM game we had. I had to come up with an on the fly ruling, and as I thought about it further afterwards, I really thought well of it, and liked how it all turned out - and can be used as a template for future scenarios.

The back story as to why this came up for those interested...

Spoiler:

One of the various quests that I added to the campaign involved a dwarven prince with information and title holdings to ancestral land that dwarves once inhabited in the stolen lands that he wants to reclaim. He asks the PCs to locate it and liberate it of any ill creatures, in exchange for access to his mithril mines and to have an allied dwarven community that the PCs can lean on when needing assistance. I placed the location in the Stolen Lands - in the the bottom hex of the map adjacent to the Nalmarches. Using the Crown of the Kobold King Pathfinder module, I put the monastery there, and had a dwarf wanting to reclaim his ancestral home - asking the PCs to liberate it from the red-scale kobolds - who by the way were enemies to the Sootscale clan (that are allies of the PCs at the moment - though a shakey alliance). Upon completion of that module, the dwarf was able to reclaim the ancestral home, moved some of his clan in, and of course swore to be allies w/ the PC's kingdom (which had not yet incorporated any of those hills). So the dwarves will be their own barony that will be allied and protect the PCs kingdom from the south should Mivon wish to get rowdy with the PCs for instance.

As part of an alliance the PCs made w/ the dwarven leader and his clan, there's obvious trade and other things to benefit each kingdom, so I felt a permanent bonus to the PCs kingdom is in order. Much like the nixie provides. So what I came up with is an idea of a +2 bonus to one of the PC's kingdoms stats (their choice), and a bonus to the dwarves a +2 to one of their three stats. So the PCs took a +2 bonus to ECON, and dwarves took a +2 to STABILITY. This was all on the fly.

That's the mechanics. The story aspect that I described was that the dwarves are trading mined goods to the PCs (thus an increase in their economy), and in turn, the dwarves have asked for the trade of information from the PCs as to the goings on throughout the Stolen Lands. Since the PCs reach were much further and had far more connections, the dwarves could benefit from having eyes/ears in the field to update them as they stay "locked in their mines" as dwarves tend to do. So they each benefit each other in area that they each would want assistance in.

So what I take from all of this is a way to make "trade agreements" with other civilizations around the PCs. A bonus to one of the stats of their choice, and the DM can then generate a good description as to what those 'traded resources' are that provide the bonus. Furthermore, the bonus could be higher based on the size of each community. The dwarves only have one hex (at this time) and thus can't provide a lot - but lets say later they wish to expand to another hill hex - I see this as a way to increase the trade bonus to +3, etc.

Okay I'm looking at the map in the Campaign Setting and the map in the Guide to River Kingdoms....

When the PCs are near the southern end of the map for book 1 and 2 in the hills....

Spoiler:

Where the Owlbear lair is

...what are the PCs seeing? What are they looking at further south?

The map in the campaign setting is hard to really see where the Greebelt is.

The map in the River Kingdoms seem to show an unnamed area of the River Kingdoms. Most of the other territories has large white writing to define it (such as Mivon), but from what I can see, there's nothing depicting what is to the south - it contains Nystra, Liberthane, and Uringen.

Then again, that territory may be more south of the Varhnold book 3 map below the Tors of Levenies - which are not depicted on the Guide to River Kingdom map. In which case those hills are just north of the easter edge of Mivon.

I'm trying to give some help to the players to know what they're bordering, and why not to travel further south - other than some computer game style programming parameters.

Thanks.

The Acrobatics skill indicates that the DC to jump are higher if one does "not have at least 10 feet for a running start"

Does "RUNNING START" mean literally using the "RUN" action? (which carries with it the restrictions of "straight line" and leaving you "dex-less"

Or is it a non-literal expression; and should just be assumed that as long as you move 10 ft, you're assumed to gain the benefit of a 'running jump.' via say a double move action.

I know that casting a spell from a scroll does allow for arcane spell failure, and does provoke an AoO.

Are you able to CAST DEFENSIVELY when activating a scroll?

Fellow Kingmaker GMS,

I'm getting to the point in my game where the construction of certain buildings are lending themselves to PCs selling magic items etc.

question 1:
What is the GP value breakdown for determining if an item is DC 20 or 35 etc (minor, moderate, major magic item)? I have searched through book 2 in the kindom building rules, but just can't seem to find it. It's probably an obvious answer somewhere but for whatever reason it escapes me.

question 2:
Have other games seen a tendency by players to use the crafting of magic items rules to "exploit" the BP earning process? I heard my players scheming among themselves that they were going to start spending turn after turn crafting magic items and just selling them for BP - because the BP earned if based off the "market price" not the "re-sell" price of 50% Since crafting costs half as much to make, they're making for little and selling for lot turning themselves into a magic item factory. And of course in pure munchkin style - my two players (out of 7) who are prone to making meta-game munchkin schemes have already begun looking at the book to see what the easiest 4000 gp value items to make to create the quickest and cheapest items that still qualify for the 2 BP (minor item).....and they're both playing spellcasters.

I'm not saying this is necessarily a problem.....although I am concerned it could be. I'm wondering if this was the intent of the kingdom building design, (not the munchkin notion - just the idea of being able to craft so easily and sell the items so easily) and/or if GMs had seen this already and what if any steps they took to minimize, restrict, control it from getting taken advantage or gotten out of control.

A sorcerer (Draconic) extends his claws (free action) and wants to make a claw attack along with make his shocking grasp touch attack.

Can this be done via a normal attack roll and apply both damages?

If so - can he make a normal claw attack (non touch attack) in the same round he casts the spell? (Normally, casting a spell that requires a touch attack allows the touch attack to be done in the round the spell was cast; so does switching the attack to a standard attack mean that the spell must be cast and "held" until the following round?)

I have a two-part question about this proposed event in Kingmaker vol_2
1_)

Spoiler:

It mentions that the people wish to build a village and want a loan or something to get it started out in the Nalmarches.

Is it meant to be in a hex that isn't already necessarily annexed into the PCs' kingdom?

My players started their kingdom at the Stagg Lord's Fort - and would be a VERY long time before they could annex that forest hex into the kingdom - and this is proposed as an early event.

If it is meant to be "not part of the kingdom" yet, then what exactly do the NPCs need PCs support of? Since it's not technically their territory to grant to them. Or are they borrowing money / BP? or what?? I'm a little confused on this one.....

2_)

Spoiler:

Do these two NPCs wind up being enemies of the PCs in a later book.

I think to make this encounter be more personal and meaning, I would substitute a couple of NPCs that have already been a part of the campaign for those two - but wouldn't want to use the two I have in mind if the stoy is that these two are secretly enemies of PCs (or expected to become so) It states that Tatzlford become important in later volumes of the AP; but I don't have the time to scour them all to get this answer found before Friday's game.

I ran two quests last Saturday and yesterday I attempted to report it all on Paizo's database.

As I keyed in the GM#, it told me that it didn't recognize the number.

I had the understanding that I was to simply use my Pathfinder ID# that was assigned to me last year when I made my first PFS Character; which I know does exist in the database because I have had sessions successfully reported for my character(s).

Something I've often wondered - but it really came to the forefront of my mind while I was running Chapter 10 in Age of Worms (Wormcrawl Fissure) a couple weeks ago:

Are dragons affected by other dragons' fear aura?

Personally I'm surprised dragons are not immune to fear in general. I think they should be. This was a caveat that I added to dragons of late - just cuz I can.

But officially speaking I was wondering if this was ever taken into account.

The encounter sorties in that chapter with various colored dragons swooping in synchronised attacks made me wonder if they each need to be making saves against their "allies" aura.

Does anyone else think that making a dragon flee in fear and become panicked is utterly ridiculous? (magically compelled that is - obviously dragons are intelligent and bent on self-survival and have no qualms about retreating for self-preservation means - but that's not what I'm talking about - I'm talking about magically being compelled to quiver and run like a wussy bi-otch).

I have a crafty player in my AoW campaign (18th level currently) who has tried some things w/ this spell.

I need some help on how it's suppose to actually work.

This is what he's done on various scenarios:

1)
Made the spell in ring shape over a gargantuan creature. He indicated it should be taking double damage since the blades are whirling around and slicing into to him twice with each revolution (near the head and again near the back).

2)
Made the ring so that huge creature has one end of the ring going through him towards the back of the creature, but creature is backed against the wall; in the spell's description it says that when the spell is cast a reflex save allows the creature to move to one side or the other of the ring, but the only way it could move would be forward to be in front of the ring, and if it move to the "other side" of the portion of the ring that was hitting it (which would result with most of the creature inside the ring) the creature would then be in the AoE of the front part of the ring. (The creature was so big that it couldn't fit inside.) The player insisted that the creature would move out of the back part of the ring and land into the front part of the ring. Thus even with a save, the creature would still not be able to avoid damage. I argued that the creature would be allowed to move (with the successful save) all the way to in front (or to the side if it were possible) of the front part of the ring avoiding it and the damage completely.

3)
Place a ring in a way so that a creature was force to intersect both ends of the ring (for instance readying to cast in front of a flying creature that had little manueverability to avoid moving out of the way) and taking double damage because it had to intersect the blades twice (again at opposite ends).

Thoughts?

Is there a wiki or other "one-stop resource" that includes all of the society legal traits and/or race-based equipment etc that is allowed? Something equivalent to like an SRD?

I noticed that in the allowed resources mentioned as legal for society play, that they are scattered in a lot of different sources.

Thanks,

Last week on Friday I was contacted by my credit card company (of which is currently on file for use for my Paizo subscriptions) due to suspicious activity.

As it turns out, there were some fraudulent charges made by someone for online purchases. That is now corrected, but it leaves me with no active credit card - that account is now cancelled, and I am awaiting a new card.

In the interim, I have no card number to provide you.

I am concerned about May's order. Have you already received payment for May's order (which should also include a few flip-mats I added to the monthly shipment)? I do not yet have access to PDF of Kingmaker 3, so that usually indicates I have not yet been charged, but my card company did tell me there was a recent charge made by Paizo Publishing - so I'm just making sure there will not be a problem this month.

EDIT: ...or that the company didn't include Paizo in the group of "fraudulent" charges and try to take money back from you....

At any rate I should have a new card this week, and will update your records accordingly.

Sincerely,
Robert
