I like dropping the confirmation roll, but I still want fighter types to be able to extend their crit range. Stretching to a 19-20 seems very worth a feat. The question is: would it only apply to a weapon or class of weapons? Unless they've changed it since then, one of the earliest developers' articles said that different weapons would have different abilities or styles for the fighter using them. Comparing how much a weapon hits for with a crit probably isn't going to be the end-all for judging weapons against each other.
Speaking of which, James, when are we going to see the stuff that got cut... Now there's going to be a line of protesters outside of Iron GM next year with picket signs asking that. 
Something just occured to me. All of the trolls I have come across on these boards do not have an avatar. Just a name and some troll spew. It's like they cannot even be bothered to pick one. Sheesh. Picking an avatar was the most entertaining part of creating an account. Smurf! don't delude yourself. You were just tactically reacting to all the other smurfs.
Ah. I read the plot thumbnails for the first few issues of CotCT but forgot the titles.
I just picked them up earlier this year and read them all within a couple weeks. Finally looked at the site and Martin said he was not going to post any more dates for a release until he turned it in to his editor. That was June I think. Thought I read somewhere that some network was working on the rights to do them for television but I can't imagine doing any of them as shorter than a miniseries for each book. Have to swing by B&N to look for that, not been there as much the last couple months since a certain something (or 2) isn't on the shelf anymore. Also I've either missed out on or forgotten seeing anything about Edge of Anarchy. When/where is that going to be available?

Was mainly curious. Although it's got me thinking of a parallel adventure with someone employing an eldritch machine to bring about a risia concurrence for some other reason. Maybe a rival group to the one that was causing that fire plane coterminus event from the last of 3 module eberron arc from a few years ago. hmmmm....
Risia is the ice plane, IIRC. For snow it doesn't have to be super-cold, just cold enough higher up for ice to form. You'll probably get wet, sloppy slushy snow, but snow nonetheless in Sharn. ...and it will tend to stick (not melt) once fallen because of the ash mixed in :) Was having a bit of a brain-fart on the higher altitude temp being more important than ground level for snow. Either way thinking of describing it as like Dante's peak or that volcano under LA movie with Tommy Lee Jones.
Oh I don't blame you; prolly get flamed about Eberron meteorology by some kook anyhow. ;) I like Eberron for some stuff, but I also like FR and GH for things. Each have their place depending on what the players and DM wants :) I was asking not out of being a hardnosed Eberron fan but out curiousity about a hot, muggy, rainy city having a blizzard is all. Heck if I get the chance to run this, most of my usual players probably wouldn't even have it cross their minds.
Nick,
For AGES, I've been keen on having an aboleth somewhere, ANYWHERE, as a villain, and I am excessively ecstatic that when this AP comes around, it will be my turn again to run it as DM. I've always enjoyed the *alien* in the game. Try to track down the Night Below boxed set from second edition. Was a whole campaign from level 1 to mid teens or higher. First third is above ground in a rural area then it moves underground and Spoiler:
Aboloth are the masterminds behind it. Expanding their dominate abilities by hundreds of miles is what they're attempting. To stop them the heroes eventually must infiltrate one of their cities and put a stop to this project. Kinda an early AP but it doesn't have quite the individual segments. Real good for a group that is into roleplaying and dealing with different power groups both good and bad. Lots of side areas that players can check out for exp or extra loot. Another surprising thing was that drow weren't included in the adventure except as a side trek that could be developed. Only real problem would be converting it to 3.5 :(
One of the issues in my campaign stems from party dynamics. The outspoken character-actor type is the one with the biggest beef against Lavinia. The quiet types at my table have little real problem with her, but the character-actor tends to sweep them up in his enthusiasm. Maybe saying the entire party hates Lavinia was inaccurate. Most of them could take her or leave her, but the really enthusiastic one hates her so it looks like the entire party does from behind the screen. I know she has a low wisdom score but I can't recall Lavinia's Sense Motive modifier. If she's picked up on this characters disdain, maybe have her ask to speak to him in private then pull the player out of ear shot also and ask him what is beef is. With out an audience, the player/character might not feel the need to be so bold and might actually listen to her or have to explain himself without having to maintain his limelight image. Main thing is to have her be truly concerned and curious about what she has done to engender this attitude. As for the bailout campaign start, have her say that a friend of hers who works at the jail told her about some people that had a bit too much to drink but aren't that bad, could use a little help and that they also looked like they might be able to help her with some of her problems.
Ironbriar's clothes is what really gets me. Uck. As for the ears, it's been said by several Paizo staff that Merisiel's are pretty much the length and angle they're going with for Golarion's elves. Shalelu's pic in issue #1 was before they'd quite pegged down the elf look. I believe there is going to be a new illustration of her in Pathfinder #3.
Due in part to Sebastian's efforts on the WoTC boards and his efforts to ellicit a response from Kim Mohan,...Link? Here's the thread from here, believe that there is a link to the wotc one on one of the posts. Sebastians request
sweet :) thanks Lilith.
Hey, Mike, did you know that Julie Dillon is doing all 12 or so of the human subraces of Golarion for the Pathfinder Chronicles Gazetteer? Any luck getting a link to some of her art? If it makes Lilith /squee it's definitely got me curious :)
My credit union merged with a different one in September and as a result I received a new credit card. I hadn't updated it yet on my subcriptions here so when the order was placed for Gallery of Evil and Pathfinder #2, it came up as payment method failed. I didn't know if the system would try again after a set period or if Corey or Cosmo would have to redo it. Looking very forward to each of these :)
current year is 597 CY (common year) months are:Fireseek-winter Readying-spring Coldeven-spring Planting-low summer Flocktime-low summer Wealsun-low summer Reaping-high summer Goodmonth-high summer Harvester-high summer Patchwall-autumn Ready'reat-autumn Sunsebb-winter that's from a book written by several of the Paizo staff and released by another company. They also list the days of the week and the festivals that round out the calendar but didn't know if you wanted that much.
YESI can see it two ways, really. It says moving in this way does not provoke. By 'this way' does it mean the movement after the attack or is it inclusive of all movement made as part of the attack? I could see how a DM could draw the conclusion that you would still provoke an AoO for moving through the first threatened square on your way in to make the attack (since anyone, regardless of feats, can do that) but you are immune to AoOs on your way back out since that movement is what is being permitted by the feat. I've always seen it as the defender cannot make any aoo based on the attackers movement. Look at the feat tree to get there, Dodge (AC bonus against a certain target), Mobility (increased AC while moving through threatened squares). Spring attack seems to build on that by allowing you to approach then withdraw from a specific target while not giving them an opening to attack you, at least based on your movement.
Snake-eyes is still the best imo. First figure I ever got was the ski-mask, goggles, & suspenders. Then they made him a ninja before ninja were everywhere. I lost interest when the idea of camoflage for most of the Joe's was hunter orange. Still had to buy the first of the new comics though after seeing the Comic News issue with the new shot of him holding the sword :)
Dungeon #150 supercedes all other stat blocks for the purpose of Dungeon #150. If you want to justify the difference, figure that she has used 60 hit dice worth of her summoning ability already today, and obviously she can't wait until tomorrow to attack the PCs. Yeah, think he'd burn some of that fighting off Orcus in his kitchen.
act as quick and dirty characters for players to do whatever with.lol I'm not even going to comment on where my mind went with this. As for making Valeros gay/bi, why not? Just imagine him and the other 3 sitting at a bar, looking around, and discussing the same prospects... That's cool. I had no intention of my post being taken seriously :) I like how you have them paired up though and got me thinking if anyone else has consciously or unconsciously came up with relations based on the order we found out more about them, but that would be a topic for a different thread.
Lol Thanks Cosmo, now I have an image of a bald, clean-shaven dwarf in a white gilly suit covered with various letters hiding amongst the posts.I picture same dwarf in the bushes outside sabastian's house with a straight jacket and a half-orc cohort around the corner to hold sabatian down.... lol, I was actually referring to Sebastian who's avatar is a dwarf (he is wily...)
I stick with the spells per day, not spells per sleep routine. Otherwise it gets them out of balance with druids and clerics, for example, who prepare there spells at a set time each day. They'd also tend to burn through there spells in the first room or two and say, "ok lets take 9 hrs off and come back in so I can totally upstage you melee types again."
Monster Manual and it's basically Spring Attack in the air.
Aside from the couple hours they had before the worg brought the orcs, it sounds to me like they have been traveling not just staying awake. I don't know if they ranger has darkvision but I imagine that following tracks after a full day of marching and having a few combats after the days travel would tire them out at least enough that they could need a roll to avoid fatigue.
IIRC, Wallace's claymore in Braveheart had this although he also wore it over his shoulder but without a sheath.
They're from Minkai which is the Japanese inspired part of Golarion. They fled from there a few generations ago, travelling over the top of the world. I just looked at the pdf and this is mentioned on pg 20. Although there it says there from Tian Xia which I thought was described as the chinese inspired area on the "Japanese Names" thread. hmmmm.When I was working on Burnt Offerings, it was my understanding that Tian Xia is the name of the continent over there, and that Minkai was an empire. So Tian Xia would be Asia, while Minkai would be Japan. That of course may change, but in any event it doesn't change the fact that the Kaijitsus fled/were exiled from there, fled over the north pole, ended up in Varisia, changed their names, and are now local nobles. cool, wasn't sure if Tian Xia was the china-inspired area that Nic mentioned...and I didn't look it up on the other thread cause i'm also playing WoW while skimming the boards :\
I know that anyone in the noble families is Chelaxian (except for the Kaijitsus) Should we assume that most, if not all, of the townspeople who work in businesses owned by the nobles are Chelaxian?Where is the Kaijitsu family from? I gathered that they're not Chelaxian, given their Japanese-style names, and the mention of their "native tongue" on page 19; but I haven't seen anything about their background. Did I just miss this?

If any of them are from sandpoint originally, they should recognize her as the adopted daughter of the previous town priest. Or if any of them were in Magnimar more recently, they might recognize her from either first hand sightings or word of mouth. She does have a rather distintive look even before the start of her transformation.
I posted that meaning that people couldn't use spells that affect only humanoid type creatures on Nualia to 'convert' her. Not that she couldn't use them herself. It's easy to forget that Aasimaar, Tieflings, & Genasi are native outsiders not humanoids so alot of low level enchantment spells don't work so well on them.
One of the Greyhawk sages could cover this better, but afaik, the Scarlett Brotherhood is a group of Sueloise(sp?)racial supremists. I don't have the player's guide handy but I know that his affiliation score won't very good (if he can even join)if he isn't sueloise human.
