Okay, how often are planning on doing this format because I was more than surprised by a $55 hit on my bank account.

I know this is probably not the place to bring this up but getting no response from Owlcat Games.

Anyone else having problems getting onto their website to get the KS key for download? Been trying for 4 days now and I keep getting a message that my password is wrong but I'm not getting any reset email no matter how I try.

Been trying to reach them on their webpage, KS messages and even FB with no response.

Based on the messages on KS and FB I'm not the only one having this issue. Just checking to see if anyone has actually gotten a response from them.

Absolutely awesome job folks. 76 pages of free content. If someone can't find something in there for their campaign, that is on them. Especially love the blight leshy. Great concept and can't believe it isn't in the game already.

Why is it so difficult to download things from your website? I click on it to personalize it. I wait my 60 seconds. Click it again....nothing. Again....nothing. Seem like I have to click like a dozen times before I finally get a download.

The whole Major/Minor forms makes no sense to me. Do you pick the specific, say Weapon, you can make? So you say you can make a Tactical Baton and 1 other item of your choice at 1st level.

Can you add fusions? Accessories? Materials? Obviously you can't go off a manufacturer bonus.

What about when you break down an item. Do you add any fusions, accessories, materials to the Nanite Investment pool?

Example would be the new Alternate Racial Trait for Vesk of Vesk Venom. Can a Vesk Vanguard inflict the Venom on an Entropic Strike?

Working on a Reaction Vanguard and the skill bonus is for Physical Science, but this isn't a class skill. Is there a reason for this? Or was it and oversight?

More Cybernetics please

There is always the Hellknight Signifer

I wouldn't let the AC stack, but I'd allow the resists to still work, in power armor.

I'm pretty sure it has been ruled all or nothing. So even the resists wouldn't work.

There is where I'm going. The guy is already OP. Started out as Blitz Soldier for +10' movement. Nuars already have 40'. It's so easy to add more speed with Feats - Fleet , Cybernetics - Speed Suspension, & Upgrades - Mobility enhancers that having to 1/2 your move through difficult terrain is good enough.

Watch the type on those I think the mobility enhancers speed suspensions the aeon stone etc are all enhancement bonuses

I'm pretty sure the Mobility Enchancer upgrade just reduces the speed penalty for heavy armor, so shouldn't be a problem.

Can I get an opinion here? I have a Nuar Solarian specializing on charging. Specifically using Stellar Rush.

Now the rules for Stellar Rush state:

As a standard action, you can wreathe yourself in stellar fire and make a charge without the penalties

Nuar have an ability called Gore which states:

A nuar can charge without taking the normal charge penalties to the attack roll or its AC. If the nuar has another ability that allows it to charge without taking these penalties (such as the charge attack ability from the soldier’s blitz attack fighting style), the nuar also gains the ability to charge through difficult terrain.

So good combo. Not only can you charge for a standard action without penalties but you can do it over difficult terrain.

My question is: would they still have to deal with the movement penalty for difficult terrain?

Difficult terrain, such as heavy undergrowth, piles of junk, or steep stairs, hampers movement. Each move into a square of difficult terrain counts as 2 squares of movement. Each diagonal move into a difficult terrain square counts as 3 squares

The Gore doesn't say you ignore difficult terrain like say Nimble Moves

You can move through up to 20 feet of difficult terrain each round as if it were normal terrain. This feat allows you to take a guarded step into difficult terrain

I'm leaning toward you still have to use 10' to move 5'. What are your thoughts?

I'm a superbacker of KS and I still don't know why Paizo went with these guys. They have 0 track record of being able to handle a campaign like this. I really hoped there were going to clear up their act as I wanted to purchase these in retail, but sadly I think that is now just a pipe dream.

I've been looking over the rules and can't find anything to build just a pure Ace Pilot. Someone that is at home in the cockpit of a space craft. So I came up with this Specialization, please critique.

PILOT

You are at home in the driver's seat.

Associated Skills: Engineering and Pilot. You can spend a Resource point to add your Trick Attack damage to any Pilot roll to preform a Stunt

Specialized Exploit: Holographic Distraction [modified]: You can spend 1 Resolve point before your pilot check to make it appear your vehicle performed 1 Stunt when in actuality you did a different Stunt. While you don't have to roll for the faked Stunt, you still have to roll for the attempted one.

One with your ship(EX): Starting at 11th level you can preform a Snap shot with no penalty as long as you are using a forward facing weapon. You can spend 1 Resolve point to add your Trick Attack damage to this attack.

Okay it has been another 2 weeks and another monthly shipment is going out and this is still on my sidecar. What is going on with this product? Nothing in the description says that it is unavailable. Do you have the pack in or not?

Well can someone updated the listing because it still shows available early December 2016.

This order was done on 12/24 and was supposed to ship out with my January monthly titles. It's still sitting in my side car. Why didn't it go out with the January titles if the January title order was done on 1/6?

Pretty simple question. Can you play with promos from other APs other than the 3 promo character goblins?

Okay a couple of things that confused me on this adventure

That is my point. It is the detaching part that seem ambiguous. The way I read it, you get to chose the form of your familiar each time you detach it. Not just the first time.

There is one line in the description of this discovery that has caused a problem in our group. "As a standard action, the alchemist can have the tumor detach itself from his body as a separate creature vaguely resembling a kind of animal suitable for a familiar (bat, cat, and so on) and move about as if it were an independent creature." The question is: Can you change your type of familiar each time you detach it or do you have to define the type of familiar when you take the discovery?

The write-up seems to imply the type of familiar can be changed when you detach it. I know that once it reattaches you get all the abilities of the type of familiar it was when it was an independent familiar, but nothing in the write up says it has to stay that way. The way I read it, that when you do the standard action to detach it, you can define the creature again.

I know that this makes the tumor familiar very powerful because you can basically change your familiar at will. And thus get different benefits depending on the familiar it currently is. But, I still don't see an argument that you can't do this.

Thanks,

Thanks for the input everyone.

The player in question is falling on the RAW vs the RAI sword. Saying the PFS states that casting a Evil Spell is not technically an Evil act. But, in my opinion, what you do with the spell then defines your actions. I just can't justify using an evil spell even to help you champion good. I don't see how he wouldn't have to atone for doing this.

Also, I agree, it really isn't that great of a spell to go through all of these hoops just to have a paladin that can cast it off a wand. I think he just found a cool idea and ran with it. I'm trying to see how a PFS GM would handle this at a table.

The idea is that is it okay for a Paladin to case Infernal Healing on themselves. They specifically took a dip into Bloodrager so they have access to the spell and can cast it from a wand.

Okay, I've tried to do the best search I can on this idea, but I keep coming to this wall that while it would be okay if someone else cast it on the Paladin that it wouldn't impact their code, but it seems like it is 50/50 whether or not it would effect their code if they cast it themselves.

As far as I can tell, the PFS FAQ says that casting a spell with the Evil descriptor isn't an evil act, but how can you reconcile casting a spell on yourself that makes you "The target detects as an evil creature for the duration of the spell and can sense the evil of the magic..." with your Good aligned God that this isn't an evil act.

Maybe if you are a LG Paladin of a LN God, but even that seems like a stretch to me.

I can't believe no one mentioned that you can grow a tumor into your familiar. I love Stoma my 'owl' growth on my shoulder.

Just spitballing, but what if they took Trait: Adapted [Gnome]?

Can a Halfling use Recharge Innate Magic under PFS rules?

I am really confused. I was one of the first 2000 to sign up for the Kickstarter. I was promised, "a digital downloadable copy of the Pathfinder Online MMO and an invite to become an Early Enrollee in the Beta". How can we be in Alpha when I haven't had a chance to play in Beta? I know I probably could have done a better job of keeping up with this Kickstarter, but I feel I have done everything asked of me. I've signed up for the website. I've filled out the pledge manager. I've kept everyone up to date with my address and everything but I feel I've just been kicked to the curb. Thread after thread after thread of people playing in Alpha and all I can do is read and wait.

When do I get to play?

Can you please double check that I am getting this in my September order? After the cluster that was the August order I am a little confused with the subscription page. The sidecart shows that it is in there, but then it also shows the Skull & Shackles Base set and the Iron Lords #1, which I already got.

I'm concerned because the subscription section says:

Most recent issue:

Pathfinder—City of Secrets #3 (paizo.com Exclusive) shipped by 07/16/14 via USPS Package Service (estimated 4 to 8 business days in transit)

Next issue:
Pathfinder—City of Secrets #5 (paizo.com Exclusive) will be the next issue to ship

Which doesn't show #4 going out to me. Also, if it is already in stock, why didn't it go out in my August order?

Has anyone gotten this yet?

I've been with the Pathfinder Adventure Paths from the start and this is becoming an ongoing issue that is getting worse year after year. Sara you guys have really need to get your shipping issues straightened out. Either you need to get someone in there to head you warehouse that can handle subscribers or find a secondary company to handle it. It is painfully obvious that Paizo cannot publish AND distribute.

No other company would get away with charging you and then taking 2 weeks to actually START the shipping process. Then taking 2 more weeks to actually get you your product. I have flat out given up buying anything from you directly other than my subscriptions because it isn't worth the hassle. And based on the last conversation with one of your customer service reps, you don't even care.

Okay, how much is the Base Camp? At first it said $50 [which the blog also says], but then in your cart it jumps to $100. When I removed it from the cart, it was $100 in the order page.

Are you sending out emails to everyone or just people that still need to finalize something? You're confusing me because I'm pretty sure I finalized everything months ago.

I got it as part of the 'failed' Kickstarter on this. Great game. Lots of fun and originality.

Of course someone that is actually paying to play the game is going to get more experience than someone that is just enjoying the FtP version of the game. What is wrong here? Game developers do their jobs to earn money. They entice people with FtP versions of it, but ultimately, they are trying to get those people to contribute to the game through purchases. Those purchases mean that everyone gets to play the game to to the level they are willing to participate. If you are not willing to contribute to the well being of the game, then your experience shouldn't be as good someone that is contributing.

WTF did this society decide that everything has to be handed to them? "We don't want to pay to play a game, but we want all the same advantages as the people that are willing to pay the play the game."

Well that model, doesn't work. Developers don't get paid. They don't keep programers on to make more content. They don't keep servers running. The system fails unless there are consumers out there actually buying the product.

I am not sure if travel in the River Kingdoms will *ever* be boring.

The River Kingdoms are too dangerous for that.

Yea, but that can also be very annoying. You're just trying to get from point A to point B and have to fight through everything between. Sometimes it is better to just mount up and bypass stuff you don't want to deal with.

You know the best part is that the last time I talked to a service rep for Paizo, they basically told me the exact same thing. If I don't like it, then go someplace else to get my books. Only problem is that I can't get the .pdfs if I go through Amazon. So yes, I would pay less for shipping and actually get the items on time, but then I would lose out on the .pdfs, which is what I use to run my games.

So...basically, I am at the mercy of Paizo's shipping department and have been fine with that until the last 6 months. When they haven't gotten and order to me in less than 3 weeks and two orders have gone missing in that time frame, I start to get a little annoyed.

First, I don't know why this order was shipped separately from my normal 'monthly' order [I'll deal with that joke on another thread], but this is the tracking information:

Date Description Location
Dec 16 2013 Package transferred to Post Office COLUMBUS, OH
Dec 16 2013 Ready for post office entry Urbancrest, OH
Dec 15 2013 Package received by dest MI facility Urbancrest, OH
Dec 12 2013 Package transferred to dest MI facility Auburn, WA
Dec 11 2013 Package processed by Mail Innovations Auburn, WA
Dec 11 2013 Package received for processing Auburn, WA

I still don't have it and the the Post Office has had it for a week. This is the second order in 6 months I haven't gotten.

I cannot believe I have to wait until 12/31 for this package to ship out. Especially since the only package I have gotten on time in the last 6 months I had to go to Indianapolis to pick up myself. Add to that I am still missing an order that was suppose to have gone out on 12/10 and in my hands according the the tracking website by 12/18. That is the second order in the last six months I haven't even gotten.

Someone has to explain this to me. I get the email on 12/12 saying that you are getting ready to send the package. I then have to wait until 12/20 to be actually charged on the package. I then have to wait until 12/31 for the package to be shipped. Finally I have to wait 2 more weeks for the package to arrive! That is a month from start to finish. Of which you have my money and I don't have anything in my hands for at least 24 days!

You guys really need to back off on new production and get your shipping straightened out.

Reaper Miniatures has most of them and the Bones are pretty inexpensive.

Which is probably why you wouldn't take a spell for him. Unless you want to hand it off to a spell casting PC that can use the spell more than once.

First, as was stated by Fenris, there are more than enough good Divine spells for the Divine casting PCs. Also, why are you rolling the 1d4? I need a little more information on what spell you are using.

Okay, I'm getting a tad bit confused when it comes to my subscriptions. My currently pending order is still showing:

So....what am I getting next....how much it the bill going to be...when are you going to ship it?

If you made it all the way to the Villain and only died because of bad rolls [and judgement in my opinion, you do know you don't have to go on if you think your character might die?], then what problems are you having with Amiri? Sounds like she is doing fine to me.

I do agree with you to a point and even have mentioned that I would like to see the location decks should have more cards associated with the current adventure set in another thread. Again this thread seems to come down to more criticism and less constructive. If you think there is a problem, then what you propose as a solution?

Page 18
If the Villain Has Nowhere to Escape to, You Win!

An errata to the Medusa Mask along the lines of adding the following to the end of the current text block would clear things up.

"You may not permanently close this location during your turn"

And as I already pointed out, you have not met the requirements to even get to this point in the rules. You have not DEFEATED the Villain. You have only put them to the side temporary. There is no need for errata.

Remember, no one else can make a check for the active person unless there is two attempts separated by a THEN. Also, you need to accept the outcome of your checks. If you fail a check, no one else can take the fail or try it again.
