So I've warned my players that this AP can be kind of deadly based on some of the stories here. I'm having them build three characters so if one character dies, the next character can jump right in.

One of my players is building an android gunslinger, and wants to bring the exact same character back after death, so he'll play an identical character three times in a row. The character's name is MegaMan.

LOL! Does he wear blue clothes/armors?

Also, does he get instantly killed upon contact with spikes?

Everything I know about Game of Thrones I learned from South Park and skimming Grantland, so not much:)

It's a bit of a running gag, When Jon Snow think he know/has figured something, there is a certain character who keep telling him that line. Eventually, he end up telling himself that.

Honestly, the whole "getting off-topic" reason for locking threads has always struck me as being incredibly poor.

Conversations, by their very nature, are fluid; topics change organically as people talk, and that's not a bad thing. I've been the OP in threads where the nature of the discussion has changed, and I've been a part of that change, only to suddenly find the thread locked for getting away from the original topic - it's frustrating, and unnecessary.

I honestly wish the mods here would stop doing that, or at least tone it back.

There are differences between evolving naturally and intended thread derailment (even if the derailment can be made in subtle manners).

When someone is intentionally derailing a thread, that's cause for removing their posts - locking the entire thread because of that is just giving the derailers what they want (e.g. the original topic is no longer being discussed).

There are two types here; one person derailing someone else thread, and someone trying to make a "false front" topic (basically, title and opening post are about something, but the thread creator quickly change subject). Also take into account how early in the thread the derailment occurs.

Vancian usually start "weak", but get ridiculously strong at later levels; so maybe if the classes were balanced with each others level by level...

I'd rather start adequate and become capable. That's just me.

Kinda what I meant, just applied to all Base Classes (not counting NPC classes). And then maybe do something similar to Prestige Classes.

I do understand that the mechanics and book keeping risk becoming heavier.

Guy St-Amant wrote:

IMHO, Vancian Spellcasting is one of the main problem with class balance/imbalance.

How? I mean, I understand how some people like spell points or just unlimited use (like the 3.5 warlock). But in some cases, spell points can lead to even more Novaing and 5 minute adventuring days. (Depends on the system, of course).

I get that some peoples tables/games have issues with casters vs martials.

But I cant see how Vancian makes the difference.

Spell/Magic Points: Work like Hit Points? (throw a dice each level, apply stat modifier.) Spells have a Minimum Caster Level to learn/access them... Group casting? (multiple people combining their powers for more powerful effects.) etc...

Except the express purpose of the book is to throw away the basics and unchain PF from v3.5 compatibility and the expectations of being a D&D substitute.

I read it completely different.

That they wanted Pathfinder, and as a D&D substitute, but there were some things they wanted that would have not meshed really well with the 3.5 BC. Doesn't mean that it won't be a "D&D substitute" - just that some things are different, but still fit very well in the d20PRD kind of feel. Sort of like Cooke's Arcana Unearthed was different (no divine or arcane magic it was all on type- and had flexible spell levels, racial templates, 25 level classes later, different XP chart). All that would not have been "3.5 compatible" but still very recognisably 3.5 derived. That is what I am expecting from Unchained.

I think, but can't remember if a Dev said, that you could still use these rules and play in the Adventure Paths. I suspect with a different balance and feel, but still close enough that the basic math, and structure fit.

Yes, I too recall this being the intention of the product. It's not about creating an entirely different game, it's more about pushing the boundaries further away. The game still has to feel like D&D, it just doesn't have to be compatible. So classes and levels are unlikely to be replaced in any of the optional subsystems.

As for a class building system... honestly, the third edition of D&D IS a class building system. You don't actually need rules for it, just come up with a concept and build a class to support it. I'm sure most players have at one time or another brewed a class (or at least came up with a concept).

What I would really like to see are rules that in some way make high level combat more manageable - smaller numbers, less buffs, less combat swinging save-or-die spells. Don't know if that's possible but would like to see an attempt.

So: D12, Full BaB, 3 good saves, 8 + Int modifier skill points, all Skills as class skills, Full Divine Casting, Full Arcane Casting, Proficiency with everything and Bonus Feat every level?

Monsters' stats tend to deviate from monster advancement (like most Animal having the same Dex, regardless of size)... If odd, subtract 11, if even, subtract 10 (or from 11 and 10 if 9 or lower).

I would love to see an AP(1st or 2nd volume) were the whole AP is on a train trying to solve a murder. It would also be cool if trains existed on Golarion for such an adventure to happen.

It could be a Planar Train, that way it wouldn't have to be on Golarion. Maybe after Erik watches this he can start nudging James in that direction =p

Or a Doom Train, ending with a Monk/Brawler suplexing it.

I'm also unconvinced. The name on the box has little to do with the name referenced in the code. Also the implication that Microsoft is worried about code 16+ years old from 3rd party programmers, as others have pointed out, is pretty hilarious. When has Microsoft EVER shown that kind of concern for users/3rd party publishers?

Lot of people still play/run things made in the 1990's and early 2000's. The RPG Maker, Fighter Maker, etc Maker from those times are still used.

Hi! How are you?

Ever thought of writing/designing more Clockwork/Steampunk/Alkenstar/Mana Wastes/Airships stuff (Campaign Setting, Player Companion, Modules, Adventure Path, etc.)?

Mutant Template questions:

1) It doesn't mention the Mutant being sterile, so does this mean it can also be an inherited template?

2) Can it be combined with Mana Waste Mutant?

3) I hope no one expected DC/Marvel kind of options?

Any plans for the ACG ones?

Ah: that they have mythic tiers themselves is a piece of important information that I didn't hold. Hence the feeling that your players should generally be informed to have their "A" game (and maybe bring their "S++" game, depending on their power level). :)

Either way, it's just a difference in play style and/or information held, hence sharing concerns. (Not the mythic thing* - the information communication thing.) We're cool.

That said, due to not having played or run the RotR, I've mostly avoided major spoilers (though I know that - gasp - a Runelord Rises! Oh no!), and will probably continue to do so. To that end, I've kind of only skimmed some posts in this thread. If there was information that you were otherwise running a mythic game, I probably just missed it. :D

Either way - as long as you guys enjoy!

* I've added mythic to both Council of Thieves (finished) and Carrion Crown (ongoing) games, so, you know, I'm a pretty big fan of those. :D

Can be useful in CC (especially if one want to extend the campaign into fighting the Whispering Tyrant).

It would be useful in Shattered Star (some of the last bosses are prototypes for mythic characters)

Psychic combat would be cool. Probably as some kind of "mental" variant of the current Combat Maneuvers system? Using your relevant stat (Int, most likely) in place of Str?

Charles Xavier, and some other Marvel psychics?

Not to spam it, but... A different Gender Equality thing. Shared by a Paizo Staffer on his/her Facebook.

An interesting point of view.

Good looking young (early adulthood) male iconic (not necessarily effeminate).

Old Lady Iconic (that we see more than just her eyes).

Hermaphrodite Iconic?

Siamese Twins Iconics?

Young (below adulthood) Iconics (something younger player might relate to)?

I blame Cosmo for the Heat Wave where I live.

Using my preferred technique, I have just created a neutral evil halfling sorcerer. No idea what to do with him just yet...Maybe a hot blooded halfling exploder wizard type? Iron Gods could have a very BASTARD!! type feel to it in the right places. Maybe I should take him in a Laharl direction since he's a halfling...Hmm....

Will you try reaching level 9999?

- Evil PC ap.

- PC as monsters AP.

- Nirmathas / Molthune (kinda has two possibilities).

- Arcadia: the natives "colonize" an unsettled area (and find out why no one live there in the first place).

- "Steampunk".

- Dragon Empire AP (start there and stay there).

- Horror AP (can be mixed with Steampunk, Evil PC and/or PC are monsters).

Allies last for multiple sessions and often you don't even need a full stat block. A party might kill off 20 enemies in a single session and always require full stat blocks. So GMs need about 100 times more enemy stat blocks than allies. Thus the need for books filled with people to fight are more in demand than books filled with allies.

Not if you're running an evil campaign. ;)

Because evil is less likely to have allies?

When 95% of the well designed NPCs are Evil, having guidelines on how to make good guys would be nice.

They are not going to make a champion of order and chaos books. All those alignments are covered in the combination of champions of purity, balance, and corruption.

That's one axis, the overused one at that.

I ain't sorry fer nuthin'!

Double negation.

Someone needs to clone the Paizo staff, the contributors and the artists.

And then people need to be able to pay for the increased amount of products released.

Mechanically speaking, our iconic characters are meant to be somewhat typical examples of their class in our world. In the “average” Golarion city (as much as there is such a thing), non-core races make up less than 1% of the population, so characters from such races are automatically atypical.

If Paizo ever make a revised/new edition, I hope you increase the number of core races.

Still hoping for:

- Tian Xia (please repeatedly consult the Master Li/Number Ten Ox books by Barry Hughart, if you do this).
- Vikings
- A Traditional fantasy AP: ala slay the dragon, rescue the princess, armored knights go on quests sort of thing.

1)I think the Emerald Spire module may be something like this.

2)Yes please, or at least a 64-page module.
3)Vikings vs. sea monsters!
4)Slaying the princess and rescuing the dragon is also acceptable.

4) Rescuing the Dragon princess and slaying the human princess(es)?

If we were going to have a new evil iconic, I think it'd be the slayer, though it seems really obvious to me (he seems to have some evil in his eyes. I could be very wrong though). I'd be surprised if someone else became an evil iconic instead.

The Magus is the only confirmed Evil Iconic since there isn't an AntiPaladin Iconic.

Evil Iconics could have some uses, for Pathfinder Players Companion: Champions of Corruption... and for a theoretical Evil AP.

Me. ;)

After reading the "Help Paizo Take the Gauntlet" blog, I can totally see a resemblance.

Yeah, that array is a 32 point buy, which is still much lower than my usual games (We generally run 2d6+6, re-rolling below 40pb). 15 point buy is a very difficult and different game early on than 32, but even at the group's level, the first dungeon proved challenging at times.

A lot of things are challenging when the party is first level.

Any good memories of that time?

What just changed you into a smurf version of yourself?

Edit: What the???

If you write smurf in your post, you get a smurf avatar for that post...

And yeah, I am surprised at what Kobold Cleaver got.

If you think that something as complicated as a 20 level class can be broken down into a point system, then you don't really understand how the game works.

Are there flaws in the existing classes? Yeah, probably. But that's not the only reason. When abilities synergize, then static point values aren't fair. Metamagic and item creation feats are obviously useless to a Fighter: he isn't a spellcaster. But only slightly less obvious is that Combat feats are pretty useless to a Wizard, because he doesn't have the BAB to actually use them effectively.

That is why classes like the Summoner can range from underpowered to pushing the game to its breaking point: if you pick non-synergistic abilities, the Eidolon is just another animal companion. If you pick evolutions that benefit each other, it can be one of the most powerful class features ever.

I would love a Classes Builder, but I know it would be hard to do (especially if trying to keep the numbers low like in the Race Builder.)

On topic, still want this book.
