Such a tease! I would totally buy this. All things goblin! Someone needs to make something like this happen.

See Pathfinder 2E playtest. Goblins are a core race. Don't know if it'll make it through the playtest. There is a lot of hate for goblin PCs as core, even after the explanation came out.

Kat's Eye is banned for piddling outside the litter box.

I'd say stay away from any items that require a save. Paladins are notorious for awesome saves - particularly will saves.

also, it's not metagaming if you, the cleric, and the party are surrounded by evil baddies and let off a holy smite. I know that the cleric in one game I'm in (LN - the whole party is N for good-evil) tells us chaotic people to back off 'cause he's going to let loose an order's wrath. Considering we haven't been hurt by chaos hammer, and all of us were hurt by both holy smite and unholy blight at some point, its not metagaming.

We were/are 10-14 lvl.

I really don't want to think about going further than implied "I sleep in your tent tonight" or "I flirt with you."

Our second darkness group is comfortable with sex in general, going TMI for my taste sometimes, but most of the other groups I've played in would be incredibly uncomfortable.

You really have to judge the people you are playing with. If sex and fetishes is a topic out of game, it's probably o.k. in game. If you don't even know if the other players have a girlfriend, then it's probably best to keep sex out of the game.

I did want to say, except for the bugbear and mammy scenes in Runelords, our games have stayed PG-13.

I would be incredibly uncomfortable with R or NC17 with anyone but my boyfriend, who is most often my DM. (Though I DM him in Council of Thieves)

We joke a lot about some women Valeros slept is actually Niska Mvasti in disguise, but beside that its only the campaing background. We know the characters are doing those things in their free time, but only talk about it when it have relevancy to the story.

That's how it is usually in our games. We don't do "talk sexy" to other players.

If I hit on another player (who I am comfortable with and know won't freak out), I'll pass a note saying "Shri hits on you and flaunts seductively, how do you react?" The response may be "upstairs?" or "acts uncomfortable," the last particularly if flirting with the paladin, and that's it.

wow, quitting the AP as a result of an icky sexual encounter. A bit drastic, isn't it?

I'm not playing curse of the crimson throne, but that looked like a spoiler to me... maybe it's fairly obvious, but...

I had a similar moment of calling it in "memory of darkness" in Second Darkness

Most of sexual encounters is implied, even in notes.

as for character development, there is only so much drow sadism one calistrian can handle. She's had (non-magical) nightmares since.

The worst sexual scenes I've come across while gaming were actually written in the Rise of the Runelords modules themselves:

having a enchantment focused sorcerer/cleric of Calistria in our Second Darkness game, many times sex came up - particularly later in the game...along with drugs. She's slept with two members of the party.

spoiler is if you aren't playing or haven't yet played PF #16, Endless Night.

even later in the AP, I think the end of #17, a memory of darkness. It's a spoiler if you haven't gone through the encounter with the winter council:

I don't think rape has ever came up, though.

Also, playing this character has gotten on my nerves a bit. I'm trying to get the rest of the party on par with my character development and get past the sex part. Being men, it's hard for them. It was fun while it lasted, but Calistria is not just about sex.

I wish it was in Milwaukee. As someone who grew up there, I have a lot of friends and family that still reside in and around town. And I miss the Safe House, Usinger's, Koppas, Kopps, Sprecher, and blue moon ice cream.

Ah well...

mmmm...blue moon ice cream.... it's been so long since I moved to Texas from Milwuakee.

Why doesn't someone (ie you) start a thread that lists all of the differences, one at a time - and make a rule not to replicate. The posts could start out with either "Old Rule/New Rule" or "Rule Edit: --which post you're editing--"

I'm hardly ever on here, but I know my guy would love to spend every second after he reads the entire thing contributing to that. :)

Horn of Rioting (construct peasants with pitchforks)

no order:

gulga cench, scion of cyth-v'sug
bracht darkhouse, the flesh peddler
sharina legendsinger
volner tain, the trice damned disciple

I also wonder what sorcerer would wear armor.

Pathfinder Beta feats:

Just because sorcerers traditionally don't wear armor doesn't mean they don't under Pathfinder RPG.

Why craft jewelry as a prereq? I don't see any other wonderous items requiring craft jewelry.

My character would use suggestion to get someone to eat something with the bug in it, especially if they didn't know it was "poisoned." I'd prefer it as the amulet, but at higher levels it makes an awesome poison.

UGH! Fleshing eating cockroach swarms!!!!

I have a question...

How long ago these undead tracks have to be made? There has been an undead creature here in the last day, or last century? This would make Castle Ravenloft very pretty place...

I'd assume that the illumination would be relative to how long it had been since the presence of undead, given the blinding light if one is currently present. Also, it gives a bonus to tracking, so the time would probably follow the normal minuses to tracking under the survival skill chart. (neg to survival for so many hours, days, so on)

I noticed a problem with pricing because of the format. Since it is after the prerequisite of Craft Wonderous Item, should the 12,500 gp be the crafting cost? However, since there is only one price, perhaps it should be the final cost, and the crafting would be the usual 1/2 price, 6,250 gp.

I like the concept of creating a dread companion. In order to make this a wonderous item instead of a component for a spell ritual, perhaps the ranger/druid must wear the tricket or the bond is broken. This could result in the final death of the animal, or it could turn against its master. I also think that it is way too cheap and should be a one-use item, in that only one dread companion can be made. It would be nice for the item itself to add a bonus or two (maybe a bonus necro spell slot?) for the ranger/druid. I also agree with Charles in that knowledge arcana or religion ranks should be a prerequisite. Good luck! I'll be watching for the villian concept.

What ends up in an article really depends on length. A pr-class takes up a lot of space, and given that Calistria has three different aspects and three different branches of the church, I felt it was more important to describe all of that than to put in a prestige class that might only serve one or two aspects of her faith.

So ... punish me. Tell me I'm a bad, bad boy.

Yes, you are a bad, bad boy. Now where is my new +1 whip? (second darkness: children of the void) You will take the metal tip for lethal damage until a prestige class is written!

[Q

Why are greatswords silly? Generally weapons were designed to counteract a defense of an enemy. Greatswords and Axes were designed as anti-horse weapons, they could be used by footmen to gain reach against a mounted opponent or to chop the legs of the horse off.

Your reference to woods is not really relevant, as that would only be with a ranger with favored terrain of woods. If you have an Osirion Ranger, he might have Dungeon and Desert as his favored terrains, never having have set foot in a forest before in his life. He might use a Falchion as his main two-handed weapon, or he might even want horseman or mobility.

I really like these extra fighting styles, and if they don't make it into the main...

Right, I think of rangers as a terrain-based warrior. What you referenced is open battlefield, which is the fighter's area. Isn't it a lot harder to sneak through forests and deserts with a 5-foot long sword across your back than a bow or a couple of daggers?

You're right, my example was limited. I was thinking more of the classic 'forest' ranger, and not all of the other possibilities. However, even then, isn't a falchion more of a fighter weapon, due to it's limited uses and utilities?

I'm just worried that too many fighting styles will cause the ranger to sort of become the fighter. At what point do we just give up the idea of style, and give them fighter bonus feats?

My ranger is from the Storval Plateau, with favored terrain Plains. She has the bonus feat Big Game Hunter from the Rise of the Runelords adventure path. Her two-handed style is used for polearms that have reach and are reminiscent of the classic primitive tribe hunting a mammoth. The ranger class is to create a hunter. The official archery and two-weapon styles are short-sighted and limit the possibilities of expanding upon the unique races and locales of Golarion.

I've been playing a Shoanti Ranger (7th level) in the Runelords game with something similar to the two-handed combat. She uses mainly polearms such as the ranseur and glaive. For my combat style feats I worked with my DM and picked power attack and overhand chop. I plan on taking all of the feats mentioned except for razor sharp chair leg, 'cause it doesn't make much sense for her.

I like the horsemanship style for the Tamiir Quah, but I don't see how the arcane style works for a ranger.

I agree! I want an elven fighter on a PURPLE t-shirt!

I want ANYTHING on a purple shirt! Go PURPLE!!!

hmm... only the goblins one sparks my interest; my boyfriend is crazy about that song and would love the shirt...if it said "we be goblins, you be food," I'd likely buy it for him... if he hadn't already ordered it! (so I didn't vote)

as for me, I'd like t-shirts with the elaborate pictures in the new modules and the RPG, or different iconic characters. *no offense to anyone*, but the fighters are kinda boring to look at

You have such wonderful artwork, but pathfinder's shirts are lacking, comparatively to the competition. If you don't want to have too elaborate shirts, then get some iconic sayings on there - modules, whatever.

as for colors: no white! black: ok , colors that look good with the picture: good!
