And contributed.

Thanks for the clarifications Christina!

Hey Christina,

Two questions about the files.

Interjection Games: Annals of the Drunken Wizard - which PDF(s)?
AdventureAWeek: VTT maps by Todd Gamble (which map(s)?)

Thanks.

And if my math is right, not counting three items that I can't find prices for, this looks to be worth over $300 in gaming goodness for $25.

Absolutely fantastic concept. Nice one Will!

I too wish to know where that absolutely fantastic image came from!!!!

According to the credits in the PDF the cover was done by Redpeggy.

I'll add my interest in the subject as well.

Ok, 15 minutes of searching and I found it. PM me and I will zip it and email it out. No guarantees on the usefulness of said sheet. I don't know who created it, where I found it, etc. Just stored in a directory of DM software tools.

Got it! Been meaning to do it as I had been interested in the Ruins Perilous piece. Thanks.

FWIW I have been keeping a compiled list of all the Feats that have been posted on Facebook.

I seem to remember having one that someone built in Excel based on either 3 or 3.5 rules version. If I can find it, it could probably be updated to Pathfinder without too much trouble I would think. I'll see if I can track it down in the next couple of days when I have time to search through my gaming hard disk.

Sethvir, that's the one! Thanks!

Glad I could help.

Only thing that rings a bell is Purple Duck Games put out a class called the Medium I believe in a product called Covenant Magic.

Covenant Magic.

Is that what you were looking for?

I keep a running document of all the feats that gets posted on Facebook for myself. I think it's up to 27 pages of stuff, including associated Feat tables and what not.

Oh and I started a new document that compiles all the Fighter Talents from both products, plus the items that Owen references in the Talented Fighter in one place. So 9 Witch Hunter Feats, 9 Armiger Feats, The Tough, The Enforcer, Bravery Alternatives, & War Master. Only product I don't have is GG to the Armiger. In 10 pt Verdana it's something like 22 pages. As someone someplace said, wall of text! :) I tweaked the feats to make them read a little more like talents and modified the pre-reqs a bit to make them fall in line with the existing format of the talents.

There is a talent that called War College that grants an additional 5 skill points each time it is taken. It doesn't allow more than the usual maximum number of skill points on a skill nor does it increase the number the fighter receives at each level.

Owen a question:

A GM who doesn’t wish to add talents to the fighter class may instead turn all these talents into fighter-only combat feats, in the same vein as Weapon Specialization.
In this case, all talents require fighter 4 as a prerequisite, all
advanced talents require fighter 14, and the grand talents require fighter 20.

Does this apply equally to the original Talented Fighter as well?

Yes... but.

In some cases the original talents had minimum fighter levels listed. If that level is higher than the level listed to use it as a fighter-only feat, use the higher of the two fighter levels.

For example, armored defense is a talent from The Genius Guide to the Talented Fighter, which requires a fighter be 5th level before selecting it. If a GM wanted to use that as a fighter-only feat,the feat should have fighter 5 as a requirement, rather than the normal fighter 4 for most basic fighter talents.

Thanks Owen. The general rule, then if anything says otherwise use that. Basically just wanted to know if we could apply the same thought process to the original Talented Fighter that you outlined in this one.

more info from EnWorld.

Myths of the Far Future Adventure Path.

You can add my vote to this too. Really liking it as well.

We're working on getting more and more HL files, and when we do one they're always added to the product as a free update.

It is taking some time though and our catalog of 200 or so PDFs isn't helping. :)

And adding a new one every week makes it even more fun to try to catch up.

Was just looking through the PDF and came across Beast Spirit II and had a question about it.

Beast Spirit II
Level: ranger 4
Duration: 10 minutes/level
As beast totem I, except as noted above
and you also gain a +4 enhancement bonus
to Strength or Dexterity for the duration.

Beast Totem I? I don't find a spell called Beast Totem. The only thing I do find with that is a Barbarian rage power.

Should this be Beast Shape II?

Thanks.

Came across another question on the Navigator this time. Does the Tradewinds ability replace anything at first level on the Navigator archetype? Didn't say that it did, but wanted to confirm.

Thanks.

Bump for follow up.

Hey again Owen or perhaps John since he is listed as the captain on this one...

Again, working on Herolab file and ran into a question regarding the Ex-Conscript archetype. The Close and Kill ability. It replaces Uncanny Dodge, Improved Uncanny Dodge and Trap Sense.

I notice that Trap Sense has an increase at level 18, but this Close and Kill ability only extends to 15. Intentional design decision or oversight or other?

Another item on the Cavalier archetype of Ship's Officer, there is the Pennant ability. It replaces and counts as the Banner ability, which is given at 5, 10, 15 and 20. There is however, a Greater Banner ability at 14th level. If we are replacing Banner with Pennant, should there be something that replaces Greater Banner with something related to the Pennant or does it not matter? Or am I overlooking something?

Never mind I see the answers above on these questions.(The Inspire Courage ability says that "This ability replaces the standard cavalier’s mount ability". How does this affect the Expert Trainer at level 4 since it is related to mounts as well.

Additionally, we have replaced Supreme Charge and Mighty Charge, but left the Cavalier's Charge at Level 3 again since it is related to mounts as well.)

Sorry for the lengthy list of questions.

Thanks for your patience. :)

The ooze is an exception to the arms requirement. I should have made that explicit.

Thanks Owen. I'll add that to the documentation for the file.

Hey Owen,

Working on the Herolab file for this and I am quite enjoying some of the evolutions you have come up with. Particularly fond of Offensive Digestion. :) It just amuses me...

Anyway, was building out the Ooze race and came across a question for you.

Per the Extra Evolutions, it says that one of the free evolutions for the Ooze is slam:
Ooze Starting Statistics
Size Medium; Speed 20 ft. (climb 20 ft.); AC +1 natural armor; Saves Fort (good), Ref (good), Will (bad); Attack Slam (1d8); Ability Scores
Str 10, Dex 16, Con 13, Int 7, Wis 10, Cha 11;
Free Evolutions formless*, slam, tentacle.

Per the slam evolution:
The eidolon must have the limbs (arms) evolution to take this evolution. Alternatively, the eidolon can replace the claws from its base form with this slam attack (this still costs 1 evolution point). This evolution can be selected more than once, but the eidolon must possess an equal number of the limbs evolution.

Thanks as always for your clarifications.

Sorry about that. Basically, our current campaign is everyone brings two sourcebooks, using them, build out the campaign setting. On Obsidian Portal, we documented the list of sourcebooks, the character creation guidelines, the advancement rules and the basic storyline. Realm Works, seemingly focuses on the world itself, which is fine, but just wanted to know if it allows for capturing the, for lack of a better word, the metagame elements.

Thanks for clarifying. That makes perfect sense. Yes, Realm Works has a couple different mechanisms you could leverage for this. Probably the most likely mechanism you would use is what we call "articles". They are similar to wiki pages in many ways and are ideally suited to things like house rules, campaign setting details known by all players (e.g. a players' guide), the list of sourcebooks allowed, etc. Everything in articles fully supports the automatic cross-linking, tagging, full-text search, etc. They are simply another content type that can be leveraged b the GM.

So I think you'll have exactly what you need available in Realm Works. :)

Thanks. I appreciate the clarification.

1). Our current campaign is 8 people walk into a bar and throw down two sourcebooks each, d20 material all legal, and make a game of that. So way to share the materials and in such a system character creation and advancement rules.

I'm having trouble parsing this question. Could you please re-phrase this for me?

Does this help?

Hey rob,

Here are a couple of additional questions based on some stuff our group does.

1). Our current campaign is 8 people walk into a bar and throw down two sourcebooks each, d20 material all legal, and make a game of that. So way to share the materials and in such a system character creation and advancement rules.

2). When we can't meet we use forum posts on obsidian portal for in character discussions, what are character is doing in between adventures. Any facility for that type of interaction?

Thanks

P.s. I'm the only one in the group that currently uses hero lab too.

Thanks Owen.

Next time I will RTFM!

Now that I think about it you had a similar conversation in another thread about something similar...

Sigh. This is what happens when I stay up too late...

Hi Owen,

Can I get a clarification on a few of the new hexes please?

Insanity Patron:
It says "A Will save negates this hex." No DC listed, so I am assuming a standard will save based on level and Int modifier?

It is also a little unclear on the Enchantment Patron and the Stars Patron as well. Lists a DC for the associated Concentration check, but nothing for the Will save in the next sentence for the Enchantmnet. Nothing for Stars. Again, assume standard DC calculations?

Also Mark of Plague requires a Fort save, no DC listed. Again standard calculations?

Thanks very much.

Yes. If I'd made that mistake more recently than a year ago, I could fix it. Sadly having seven versions of related game rules in my head means when I am writing off-the-cuff on a messagebaord I sometimes don't check my references and make a mistake like this.

Just out of curiosity, seven rule sets? And I'm guessing:

1) Pathfinder
2) 3.5
3) 3.0
4) Modern
5) Cthulhu
6) 4E
7) ?

Yes, yes indeed! I'm part of the Misfit Studios team! We have conversions udnerway, and there will be expanded material in the new PF version of the book. I'll be doing some standalone pdfs for the game, too, and there's an SB-related kickstarter I'm doing coming up on Feb. 1st. I'll spill more about this very soon.

Very cool. I always wanted more material for this setting. You know between Open Design, Frog God Games, Realm Works and now this Kickstarter for SB, I am not going to have any money left! Will definitely be watching for that. Thanks for sharing this.

Im about to start playing one of these in an upcoming Legacy of Fire game. Has anyone done a work up for HeroLabs?

Not yet. To paraphrase from another thread a statement by John Halpin of SGG on another SGG product, "There is a team working on generating Herolab files for the SGG material, but there is a lot of material to cover."

I'll see if I can find the thread and link. See link below.

Advanced Options: Extra Evolutions.

Sorry, no bundle at the moment because I can't offer the print product at some storefronts, and some of Misfit Studios' distribution agreements with some PDF storefronts prevent us from offering the PDF at reduced costs in a context other than limited-time sales.

On another note, the rage/smite forward-compatibility concern is going to be addressed in the PFRPG SpirosBlaak release. It will be a part of the new content being written to expand and clarify the original 3.5 OGL release.

Dungeons & Dragons PDFs are back on sale!

www.dndclassics.com

Its basically a filter for DriveThruRPG.com / RPGnow.com so if you made any previous purchases they should all tie in. Hopefully the catalogue will be building over time back to what it once was.

I have already made purchases of Basic, 3.5 and 4e PDFs :)

<Does happy dance>

And the servers are now down due to overwhelming demand, it appears.

Combat Manager update to 1.4.5:

Look forward to the new download when I get a few minutes!

Picked the CS up when it came out and liked what I saw there. Just anxious to see how it is developed further. Will wait for more key line material with bated breath!

Please send me a free copy!

Thank you.

I do have a question though. On page 4 of the pdf it talks about Simez Rothgazzi (LN male human geomancer wizard 6/geomancer 7). Where does geomancer wizard and geomancer come from?

-Kcinlive

Kcinlive, they were things originally going to appear in Journeys, but we never finalized a draft of the geomancer that suited us--and we ran out of space. I do have another draft on the geomancer at this point, and am ensuring that it works with the Midgard ley line rules.

Keep your eyes out for a New Path from Kobold Press at some point in the future. I'll put the wizard school in that pdf, as well.

Thanks for asking!

You know, this is the second time I've seen you reference ley lines and rules and a future product. You really have to stop teasing like this!!!

Resurrecting this thread a bit to ask a couple of questions as I build this out for datasets.

1) On the staff of the white necromancer, the spell listed is Gentle Riposte, which I am presuming should be Gentle Repose.

2) You introduce the feat of Craft Lesser Staff (Item Creation), yet nowhere in the product is it used. Even on the Construction requirements. If I've read this correctly, for any of the staves of the lesser variety, this Item Creation feat could be listed as the pre-req could it not?

3) Further up in this discussion, Marc referenced he had eight more of these ready to go. Any chance we'll see these in another Kragnar product?

Thanks as always.

If you are looking at underwater adventures, might I suggest Cerulean Seas from Alluria Publishing as a source of material.

Great Campaign setting and they are gradually adding new material as well. They've just released a Psionics supplement using Dreamscarred Press' Psionics rules and have a polar ice cap adventure forthcoming sometime soon.

Take a look at it.

Downloaded this one today and perused it and decided it was all kinds of very cool! Have to figure out if I want to add this to my home campaign. Hopefully we will see some additional expansions for this including bullet points or some such, more rivenspells perhaps...

Between this, the mosaic Mage and the spell points, I'm really liking some of these options,

Matrix Dragon wrote:

I just noticed this product and I've become very interested in trying it out at some point. I've been wanting to use spell points in Pathfinder for a while, but haven't done so because of the issues with the differences between memorized and spontaneous casters. This book seems to do a very good job of balancing the two ways of casting while also preserving most of their flavor.

I'm glad you like them!

Matrix Dragon wrote:

I do have one concern about the rules so far though. It seems that having a high ability score has an almost negligible effect on the number of spells you can cast every day at higher levels.

In playtesting, allowing more bonus spell points from ability score than we did turned out to be unbalancing. While it is true you end up unable to cast a bonus 9th level spell, you can still cast multiple 9th level spells per day (at the cost of casting fewer low-level spells, which honestly aren't as effective in most cases at 17th level). And at lower levels, even a very few extra spells points boosts flexibility quite a lot.

Matrix Dragon wrote:

Also, just curious, do you have any thoughts on how the spell point system should interact with the mythic rules? It seems that mythic characters will have various ways of using a mythic power point to cast spells without using 'slots'.

My current plan is to wait for a final version of the Mythic rules before I start making design statements about how SGG material ties into it.

Matrix Dragon wrote:

Anyway, thanks for these house rules! I'm going to show them to my players and see what they think about using them in our next campaign.

I hope you enjoy them!

Interesting. Had the same problem. But I mostly use IE8 for internal work stuff, and I use Chrome or Firefox for external non-work related stuff. Helps that I have 5 different browsers on my machine for testing purposes.
