I have all the Pathfinder suplements and none of them have any problem.

I'm very grateful mr. Scheneider, thank you very much for all (particulary for this monster).

Thanks mr Schneider ;)

Really I love them, I'm an enthusiastic of the cool aberrations (abolleth and mindflayer are my prefered) and the Ghorazagh are really cool. I will save one of my pathfinder campaigns (no an AP, a sandpoint campaign) with them ^^

By the way, how typical are the arcanes in their society? And... is factible a colaboration with individuals of other races?

Thank you JJ.

By the way, I can't find the "shape blood" ability in the melee statistics, it's an errata or I'm forgetting something?

Will be the Ghorazagh race (presented in the AP "Mother of Flies") expanded in future products (I'm specially interested in his underdark domain and the brood war and hive lord subspecies)?

Thanks in advance and please forgive my poor english.

The order arrived today, thaks and excuse me for all the troubles ^^

Ok, no problem. Thanks Cosmo.

The Order #1247754 shipped the 09/14/09 via USPS Package Service has not yet arrived, must I worry for it?

Thanks and please excuse for my poor english.

One friend have a problem with these feats, It will be great any oficial word about this for finish the discussion with his players.

The PF chronicler is pretty weak, at first glance. I'd think allowing arcane spells, even at a lowered rate, or some other benefit, would make it more playable.

It just doesn't seem that awesome to me.

EDIT: I should start a thread.

I would agree, having written the PrC, and it wasn't really intended to be awesome in a power kind of way. But it may be an interesting PrC to play that fills a different kind of role in the campaign, the uber utility character who, as the OP suggested, fills a concept more than a role.

If you wanna ramp it up in power for your campaign, though, go for it!

I really don't reconcile the image of the word oracle with the definition of the class. I think that can be better terms for define the class.

When we can expect that the adventures arrives?

Actually, it's a little more than that.

I had a conversation with Jim Lowder a while back about the changes to Chult. He wrote a 2nd edition game product set in Chult, as well as the Harper novel RING OF WINTER. This is a man who knows his Chult. He described it as a penninsula because that's what it was at the time. People writing in the 4E setting, however, will need to describe Chult as an island, because that's what it is these days. Spellplague happened. Things changed. Chult and Halruaa were two of the hardest-hit areas, and the maps of those regions just don't look the same. It's not a matter of perspective, it's an actual (well, as "actual" as a fictitious setting gets...) loss of land mass to rising seas.

I thought I'd create this thread to find out what everyone's favorite level to play and adventure are at! Please drop in a post here and answer the following questions if you're interested:

1) What's your favorite experience level?

2) Why is that your favorite experience level?

I view the levels beyond it as a kind of epilogue of the "grown levels", levels for clausure the open plots and for epic final, but no for the adventures itself.

3) What's your favorite adventure, and what level was it for? Why is it your favorite adventure?

My three favorites (sorry I'm not a man of one favorite) are: Four from Cormyr (TSR- Forgotten Realms), Rise of Runelords (Paizo Publishing- Pathfinder) and Witchfire (Privateer Press- Iron Kingdoms).

Well, it can be solved saying that the arm of the peninsula is dangerous and impassable (the arm of Chult pennisula for example). Other reason is that the main civilization (humanoid) in Chult is the city of Mezro, in the north of the peninsula, and the principal contact with the rest of Faerun comes from the city of Baldur's Gate (extremely colonial).

You can convert many of the minor changes of the setting with some of reasoning (other subject are the great changes in the Realms of the WotC era, but wit patience and selection you can do a great job).

The most proper way to handle with problems with canon and your campaign material (in my opinion) is create an argument (similar at the Chult peninsula-island) that explains that divergence. The canon is a tool, no a chain, use it for help you in your campaigns an DM job no for limiting it.

Well, this explanation was given in a old Dragon Magazine o by Edd Greenwood if i'm not remember wrong.

The background isn't a matter statical, information that we see grow and grow but an organical entity wich in some ocasions changes and forces us to think. Almost that is my idea with the big settings like Forgotten Realms that expand his frontiers with de decades one time and another. You must be flexible at a certain point.

Personally, I'd like the APs to end at a lower level. Like maybe 8th. It would be terrific if there was an AP designed for slow track progression.

The reason I think Kingmaker's suited to go to high level is twofold:

1) It IS something new. And since high level adventures change the way the game is played, and that makes the same old adventure plots and methods you use at low and mid level outdated, something new is precisely what a high-level adventure needs to work well.

2) A long-standing tradition of the game (one that's been downplayed and/or ignored in 3rd edition, alas) is the idea that once you hit 11th level or so, you have reached your "name level" which means you're significantly powerful enough in your class that the kingdom or world or area's inhabitants can't help but accept the fact that you're a hero or a leader. At these levels, EVERYONE in previous editions started to attract cohorts and followers, and there were rules for building keeps and wizard towers and thieves' guilds and all that. With Kingmaker, I hope to capture some of that; you get high level and then start building castles and towns and ruling them, and the fact that you're high level and have access to powerful new abilities should play right into this new type of game play.

That's not to say there won't be fights and dungeons at those high levels, of course, but they'll be increasingly not the focus of an entire adventure.

Only because this thread would make it appear that everybody loves high-level play I'm going to throw in my two cents.

I hate playing PCs past 15th level (and even that point is getting into the yuck territory). The game gets burdensome, and at my age, my group only gets together once a month at times. Our spellcastes spend half their night remembering what their spells do and everybody forgets SOMETHING about their character after not playing for a month (or more sometimes).

While I would like to see a few good high level adventures once in a while, for the most part, I think the 1st-15th level spread for the Adventure Paths is just about perfect.

But when one author describes a stretch of land as a peninsula and another as an island, one of them did not do his homework, and the credibility of the setting suffers. It is all right to change anything and everything, but consider the consequences and see to it that there are no logical breaks in the story. These breaks considerably diminish my enjoyment of the whole.

It's only a cuestion of perspectiva and expansion of setting. And I didn't see any problem with it.

I've talked about this elsewhere, but some big reasons why the game goes to 20th even if the APs generally only go to 15th...

1) Because you need rules for foes and allies of up to 20th level, especially as main bad guys or solo foes. A 20th level NPC is a great final boss for a campaign that ends with PCs at 15th or 16th level.

2) Because 3.5 went to 20th level and Pathfinder RPG needs to be compatible.

3) Because there are plenty of other games out there other than Adventure Paths, and the PFRPG is for all of them, not just for use on an adventure path.

I'm probably convinced that the time is right to try taking an AP all the way up to 18th level with Kingmaker. We'll see how that goes...

I can more or less guarantee you'll see SOMETHING from Paizo that does something with higher level content some time in the next year or two, but I can't say what that will be yet.

Setting ¡I want more setting! About the rules i'm don't sure about use PFRPG.

Any new about this in GenCon?

Here in Spain one person received the send (and the PDFs) the tuesday night, but I and the other people I know have't received it yet and with six to ten days to arrive (with USPS Priority). Definitely it will not arrive at thirteen.

I addapt the house rules from campaign to campaign to potenciate an style of game or another. For example in the last D&D campaign I begin (a Pathfinder campaign based in a group of pathfinders with diverse motivations) we have sixteen points of house rules, how the critical and fumble decks, a variant of the feat rules of the Collected Book of Experimental Might (in that book says feats every level, I give free feats every two levels, as Pathfinder and social and background feats the odd number levels), etc...

An adaptation of the tibbit to Golarion ^^

I think that both are too different genres to mix.

I think Golarion can easily support romantic fantasy. Or high fantasy. Or everything else.

I like the low level modules of an AP, for me they are an special period of the adventurer live of the PCs. And I haven't any problem with low level AP but I think that the high level AP is also necesary (and desirable). And although i'm contrary to the idea of an AP of levels 12-14 is only half AP I understand the frustration of the people that believe with the APs will decrease their rank of levels instead of diversify it with the time.

Please excuse my terrible english.

* more high-level adventures (especially ones you could run after finishing an Adventure Path)
* larger adventures, like "supermodules" (though we aren't sure how we'd fit that into the line, which currently only has 32-page adventures)

What type of NPCs will hope in this manual? will we see the Whispering Tyrant, the Harlot Queen, Nex, Geb or some NPCs of that calibre?

Thanks for all Montvale ;)

Yes, I have the absolute control in the campaign, but I like to Know the opinion of others in this forum to have a more informated opionion.

The Ivy District seems the MOST opulent of all the wards if you believe the map of Gallery of Evil, and in the Guide to Absalom says that is one of the most expensive places to live. But in wich level? The guide too says that poor artists and people of all conditions live in Ivy.

One more question, what are exactly the medium-low class wards?

No, Petal District is another that haven't the Cost of Living indicated.

Anyone have an idea about the cost of living (in specific the building ownership and rent costs) in the Ivy Disctrict of Absalom. I searched in the Guide to Absalom but I didn't find't it neither in the adventure Gallery of Evil (in which the district is described). It seems a very elitist district, perhaps as expensive as the Ascendant Court?

If anyone have something about the other wards I will be eternally gratefull.

Thanks in advance and please forgive my poor english.

My top three is:

1.- The Darklands.

2.- Varisia.

3.- The Worldwound.

What means exactly be a venturte-captain? what are their powers and duties? Is a venture captain tied to an especifical region or his influence can extend over an adventurer group whenever it be? I will begin an adventure centered in the Pathfinder Society in Absalom with a flavor about exploration of the world (and beyond) and politics of the Society (any word about this conflicts in any manual or reference?), and this question torments me.

Please excuse my poor english and thanks by advance.

It will be great, return to the Runelords plot ^^

Ok, Thanks Cosmo. And excuse me for the troubles ^^

I have two items in this order, the Pathfinder RPG preorder, and the Pathfinder RPG Beta that was shipped the last august, but the Beta is counted in the total of the order ¿Is an error or a problema caused for the order split?

The shipping amount is correct or it presumes two books?

Thanks in advance.

Any news about the Razor Coast publication mr Logue? I have an Eberron Campaign and the player will travel to Xen'drik the next and this campaign can serve me very well :p

Do you have any plans for a second part of Into the Darklands or a similar manual expanding the Darklands in any future? I love much of your job in Pathfinder Setting but the result of the Darklands amazed me and I need more of them.

Please excuse my poor english.

You need to receive them from a suscription, buy the APs from a non-suscription don't have the free PDF inclusive.

I run the assault against Thisletop with a more urgent point of view. The players need to secure some goals in each of their incursions (the first Ripnugget, the second Nualia) or confront serious problems. I added hundreds of goblins to the army of Thisletop (I suppose it's more logical in a goblin tribe) but the first day they were distracted by Shalelu and the second by Gogmurt (He have a pact with the party to erradicate Ripnugget and Nualia from his "political career"). So they can't rest so easily.

My fear with Malfeshnekor is that he can kill one or two CPs by surprise. I don't have poor of Kill CPs but I don't like the idea of see they dying in a combat overhead his possibilities.

Please excuse my poor english.

Deads in Burnt Offerings:

Minvant: cleric of Desna (level 3) dead fighting Ripnugget.

Helgrim: varisian warblade (level 3) dead fighting Nualia (She confused him with her liaison).
