My wife and my self are planning on playing a married couple

Woah! How'd you come up with that one?

Why do people keep calling Golarion Galorian?

Am I the only person who thinks...who cares?

It seems to me that too much emphasis being given to political corectness. There's the same number of male and female iconics, so it makes sense they'd push the idea of enforcing it in other areas, whether it's skin color, sexual orientation or whatnot.

Brawne Lamia.

Is this one going to be actually huge or is an another one in the large on huge base/huge on gargantuan base series?

No jump can allow you to exceed your maximum movement for the round.

Despite the term auto-success, some things are still impossible. Auto-success is still limited by other rules. I find auto-success on skills less of an issue than a level 1 archer, firing at max range (longbow 1000' -18 to attack), at an Ancient Red Dragon (AC 38), having a 5% chance of succeeding.

So what? He still won't do even a point of damage to him, due to DR.

the only thing jhavul s

achieves is healing of its 1000 s wounds and possibly being absobed into it, no control over anything-

So, it's Xotani's idea (with his Int 3) to leave Golarion to court Ymeri and not Jhavhul's? I considered that odd, to say the least, since that was Jhavhul's plan all along.

oh, and page seven Jhavul becomes th e newest incarbarnation of xotani. laves little doubt to his evebtual mega-lomanic occupatio...

Once again, speculations without basis.

But it's not a Spawn of Rovagug. It's his body, inhabited by an Efreet, who has an entirely different agenda than a mindless beast intent entirely on destruction. I mean, even the AP itself clearly states that Jhavhul soon leaves Katapesh for Plane of Fire, why would you assume he goes on a rampage through the whole Inner Sea Region?

for one - i have sinceredoubts that an efreeti lord can hold the raw power of a Spawn in check. that thing is similar in power to a Tarrasque. According to the AP Xotani will merge with Jhavul and is thereafter only called Xotani (!). He will then blast a major gap into the landscape (10s of miles around - cracatoa volcanoe sed up..... ) and planeshift away.........Pactmasters and others (Ossirion's Pharao) will now be very angry

the players will have created a now plane-shifting spawn of rovagug...

nothing major

That's just your opinion, not a fact. As written, he blows up Kelmarane, does a bit rampage and moves on. AP also mentions nothing about 10s of miles around the volcano, it mentions miles.

Legacy of Fire's loss scenario involves a Spawn of Rovagug rampaging across Katapesh, which probably means that's going to be a win scenario...

I wouldn't be sure about that. Jhavhul's intentions are centered almost completely around courting Ymeri and while the AP states that he does rampage across Katapesh a bit (destroying a town that didn't exist before AP, namely), he leaves soon to woo his love interest.

And if Paizo forwards the timeline for a couple dozen of years, I reckon there wouldn't be much change to Katapesh before Jhavhul.

-Their intelligent

Oh the irony.

I never understood the point of topics such as these. Are we supposed to be impressed?

I'd have been if it involved a cunning plan, good story or intresting development, but this is just a combination of non-sensical characters (gunslinger/ninja/cleric, give me a break), bad house rules (why even call it a "fair" rule, critical hits already deal more damage, what would be the point of doing even more?), a party of seven characters and, from what I can see from other posts, not a good grasp of game mechanics which boils down to 'we nuked it with crits'.

Won't be that hard to guess. Those with world-shaking/planet-destroying consequences will be won, the rest will be lost.

And it would really be nice for links to automatically get hyperlinked.

What's an Aasmir?

Thus, would it not be okay to eliminate the 'favored community' ability altogether in order to gain access to the shapeshifter archetype?

This is the question you should be asking your DM. Since this is Rules Questions forum, whereas you get RAW answers, the answer is simply no.

You do realize you're basically talking to yourself for the last 9 months?

Personally, I think he came to our world as Nikola Tesla. He did a bunch of cool stuff and then faked his death to go on to other places and projects. *joking*

Even though it's a joke, I still find it flattering that one of my countrymen is enjoying a world-wide fame (since we're not very well thought of, usually) and being compared to Nex. Thank you for that.

built her on a 32 point buy as outlined in the module

32 point buy in 3.5 isn't the same as 32 point buy in Pathfinder. I think the equivalent is 25.

It's not like anyone will wear Heavyload Belt, with it being a belt. That's for a more precious stat-boosting item. Even spellcasters would want to increase their Con or Dex.

Just to be clear, I'm not happy about that because I hate it when cool items like a large number of magic cloaks will not be used because of the 'must-have' items, since you'll be failing a lot of saves without that Cloak of Resistance +5 or not be a very good Fighter without that Belt of Str +6...

Now, could I have done the Worldwound AP in a way that didn't involve direct encounters with a demon lord? Sure... but it would feel to me like a terribly missed opportunity and a let down and an anticlimax—just like if we say "This adventure sends you to Gallowspire" but then never lets you encounter the boss of that site, the Whispering Tyrant.

But... that's Carrion Crown basically. And there's been much debate over that, because the final boss never ever appeared in the AP and only the introduction of the 6th chapter made a suggestion to introduce him earlier (tough luck for those who played it as it was being published). Not only that, a lot of people on the boards were indeed disappointed with the end boss not being Whispering Tyrant.

Oh, I thought those were from Paizo. My bad.

Why is this not valid for Paper Minis?

The Hermea theory disgusts me. Why can't at least one place be genuinely good without being suddenly corrupted as hell by some dark secrets in it?

Because the dragon ruling it doesn't sound like a completely cool guy?

However, there are rumours that Hermean society is not the utopia it appears. Some foreign sailors perceive an undercurrent of fear beneath the citizens’ apparent contentment. There are even tales of rebels opposed to Mengkare’s rule hiding out in the forests at the far side of the island. And are the charred corpses that sometimes wash up on the shores of the island really the work of pirates?

You do know that gold dragons have fire breath? I wouldn't go so far as to say that he's an aboleth, but I'm of an opinion that he went too far with the whole 'for the greater good' idea.

Are those ghouls or chokers on the cover?

There's like 30 posts about PDF security and piracy and you only delete mine?

Out of 20 different Wizards, 17 of them have Improved Initiative. Really...?

But that's not the case with Glitterdust since, in your quoted post, Jason states that it doesn't affect other forms of concealment.

Glitterdust ends the invisibility.

If it stated so, then I wouldn't have asked the question. Since it doesn't specifically say that it does, it's open to debate what entails 'visibly outlined'.

12 people marked this as FAQ candidate. 1 person marked this as a favorite.

This may seem like a dumb question, but in my group, we've always played that Glitterdust practically dispels invisibility and never really thought about it that much. But reading the description again, Glitterdust simply outlines invisible creatures and gives them a penalty on stealth checks. It never states that creatures lose the benefit of total concealment that invisibility provides.

So, my question is, is everyone playing it like this and 'visibly outlines' means only that you don't need to make perception checks to locate the creature's square but it still gets its 50% miss chance?

Copy/paste to Word and change attributes as appropriate?

There's a new illustration of Sorshen coming soon in the Shattered Star Pawn Set. One that does NOT have that inaccurate weapon associated with her.

Where does she have a wrong weapon associated with her?

Also, what are those shards embedded in her arm/shoulder?

Since Inner Sea Magic states that Elvanna is a Witch 20+, does that mean that her statblock will use Mythic rules, or she'll be just stated as a lvl 20 witch?

The recently released "Irrisen, Land of Eternal Winter" states she is a Witch 10/Winter Witch 10, I would expect that to be her stats. That's tough enough for a 17th-ish level party, without having to add mythic levels on top of it...

Oh, didn't get that one yet, so I didn't know.

That seems managable. On par with all other end bosses who party faces at lvl 17th.

I really do like the sculpt, but it feels like this is too small for a gargantuan.

I know plastic is more expensive these days, but I find a huge dragon that would be incapable of swallowing a medium figure whole a bit disconcerting.

It is a nice sculpt though, just wish the D&D icons didn't dwarf this model. The Rune Giant and Black Dragon seemed a bit on the small side too, but not nearly as much as this one.

A bit on the small side is stretching it. "Huge" Black Dragon is a Large Black Dragon on a huge base.

It's a wonderfuly crafted mini, no doubt about it, I just call it what it is, in terms of size.

This is absurd. I can understand a delay of few months, but this is getting ridiculous.

One less pre-order for you to worry about.

Lastly I'm extremely excited about the upcoming Pathfinder MMORPG as finding RPG groups in my area can be extremely difficult.

You do realize that Pathfinder Online is coming out somewhere in 2015?

Of course it's spoilery, it's a topic about a chapter from the AP, why would the players even read this?

be a great opportunity for players to play GOOD guys

That's literally ever AP ever.

When I'm the DM, it takes about 5-6 sessions of about 6 hours to finish a chapter. When played once a week (with a few exceptions, so let's say 4 sessions in 5 weeks), it takes me about 8-9 months to finish an AP.

How about google it up a bit?

And there's Kyra, the iconic cleric who's from Qadira-- the Middle East analogue-- and she's middle eastern in appearance. Including never seeing her hair.

Not true. Legacy of Fire, Chapter 3 - Jackal's Price, pg. 31.

Just noticed a small mistake while filling it.

On p.10, in the Offense section of Animal Companion/Cohort/Eidolon, CMB is listed as being equal to 10 + BAB and other modifiers which is incorrect. It's just BAB + other modifiers.

Put me in for Dragons.

I'd like to see something like Year of the Rogue Dragons that was in Faerun, something to do with dragons globally, not just an AP that happens to have a half of its chapter bosses that are dragons.

I wonder what class was kazavon? I have a hard time thinking he was 'just' a dragon. He had to have some class levels, no?

I know dragons are innately sorcerers, but I kinda picture him as a Magus.
casting spells, swinging a sword, wearing armor.

But I suppose maybe he could have been a bard? That would explain Illeosa's sudden advancement in her power.

He could have been an Arcane duelist or a battle herald?

hmmmm musing.

He was 'just' a Great Wyrm Blue Dragon and Chosen of Zon-Kuthon. Says so in Inner Sea Magic.

That doesn't sound like 'just' to me.

My biggest problem is that a tech demo produced in 2012 looks not that much better than World of Warcraft pre-alpha videos. Not to mention that it's coming out in FOUR YEARS.

MMO is a dying genre. WoW still keeps strong, but only because he was #1 for a long period of years. Almost every other MMO went F2P (SW:TOR, recently) because they were losing subscribers drastically and that's basically the sign that it's doing badly. And all that because they don't offer anything new.

Now, Pathfinder Online will come out in 2016 and they haven't offered us anything never before seen. What I see is combination of WoW and EVE. While the premise is intresting, I don't believe it will be that good in four years.

So, they have a company that never made any other games, terrible release scheldue, no novel ideas, this is their second Kickstarter project for the same thing... Golarion is the only setting I play in PnP for the past 3-4 years and I can't see myself even glancing at this game.

What's with the comically oversized heads of some Haflings and Gnomes?

I can't believe someone actually thought that artwork on 105 and especially on page 130 looks good.

Good one. :D

She is definitively a bard at the beginning of the game .

She has successfully manipulated all the people she wanted to manipulate ( Sabrina , the king , etc ).

Only Bards can manipulate and not everybody with Diplomacy/Bluff?

Fortunately for you, it's available on PFSRD. Just google it a bit.

As for Ileosa, Bard makes sense to me, especially with the Court Bard archetype. But BBEG with NPC class levels? Well, that's just silly. I know it makes sense, on account her being an actual aristocrat, but it would also make sense for all those farmers turned adventurers when their village was destroyed by orcs to have levels of Commoner, but of course that doesn't happen.
