Not to be picky, but you're missing a word in the title.

Is the Emerald Spire part of the Crowdforger PDF Superpack? Does anybody know definitively? Thanks.

Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

Thank you.

Would it be possible to remove the Chalice of Death from my sidecart? I just received this book as a gift. Please let me know what can be done. Thanks.

Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

Who's the artist on this set?

Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

On page 15, under the Masterwork Armor heading in the second paragraph, the spell Masterwork Transformation is referenced. The first sentence discusses using the spell for masterwork conversion of weapons, but this section is about armor and shields. Seems to me that this sentence should reference armor, not weapons. The referenced spell works on both.

What it looks like to me, is that a copy-paste was performed and wasn't cleaned up afterward.

Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

CJ, found another one. You super-sized Isvig. He's supposed to be Large and you made him Huge.

Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

Too bad the image are so blurry. I would have liked to have seen the cards.

Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

But Vic, Embers is a unique critter to the AP. His absence will be felt, particularly since there isn't any other pawn in the collection capable of filling in for him.

Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

I noticed that Embers is not on the pawn list. Is there a reason?

Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

CJ, I hate pointing things like this out because of all of the work you clearly put into these minis, but I know you also want to know when things need to be corrected.

Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

A surprise? Cool.

Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

CJ, looking through this section of the redone AP, there were a couple of new items that I noted.

So, if you're able to work these in and post an update, that would be fantastic.

Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

This order is being held up by the Pathfinder Dice Set: Carrion Crown. I will move the dice back to your sidecart to ship with a future subscription shipment, and we will get the rest shipped out as soon as possible.

Thanks,
cos

Cosmo, my problem with this is that the dice were available when I placed my order at the beginning of June. Now that the RotR hardcover is available, the dice aren't. Doesn't your system hold product when there are actual orders placed against the product?

I ask because it seems like the dice that I should be getting were sold to someone else and now there are none to fulfill my order.

Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

Could someone contact me please and explain to me what is going with my order? Thanks.

Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

Just played around with this sheet. I really like it. Excellent job.

One problem that I found though. Under defenses, the Dex modifier isn't showing up, nor is it being included in the calculations.

Also, throw my vote in on correcting the ordering of the abilities on the first page.

Ok. I've been playing around with it further and I think I've figured it out. The Dex modifier only shows up under Defenses if a max AC Dex value is inserted under Armor. Hopefully this helps you with fixing it.

Keep up the good work on this excellent character sheet.

CJ, I was just going back over this set and realized that the Giant Crab is the wrong size, at least for the original rendition of this AP. You've got him as a medium size, when the AP calls out for a large size.

Hm, I thought I fixed that months ago... Did you download the file recently?

CJ, sorry about that, you apparently have corrected it. I had downloaded the latest one, but I apparently wasn't looking at the latest one. I should know better than to make an assumption on my actions, after I've been distracted by shiny.

On a separate note, do you know if anyone is working on some minis for Jade Regent? Thanks.

Now worries CJ. I doubled the size of the images you made, so I will have them for next weekend's game. I'm thinking about having the hags make use of Alter Self to appear medium sized when the PCs barge into their chamber, and thus make use of both sizes of minis.

It should be fun. :D

Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

CJ, you can find how my party is progressing through the RotR AP with this link.

Bad news though. I was getting ready for the last of the Kreeg stronghold and I noticed that you made the hags medium size, instead of large size.

Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

Towards the end of last month I bought the game Kill Doctor Lucky from my FLGS. Unfortunately after only about a half-dozen plays, the laminate material from the cards is starting to peel off.

Images of cards

So dear customer service, how is this normally handled?

Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

My vote goes for the very awesome Gray Maiden.

Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

The PCs, one is hand-drawn, scanned in, and colored in Gimp, two are images pilfered from various free paper minis (modified to work with the Pathfinder Paper Mini instructions), and the fourth is an image from some online dollmaker site.

Years ago we used postcard disks with either images on them or just the character's name. Then along came N'Wah's goblin set, and everything changed after that. So far I've purchased every Pathfinder Paper Mini set that has been released and have made a multitude of additional paper minis. If I ever get around to setting them all up, I'll take a picture and post it for you.

Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

No worries there.

Here is an image I took this weekend during gaming. I had almost forgot once again to get a picture during the game. I had taken a couple of shots, but this is the only one that came out clear (the others were blurry).

Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

Jack, another great set of minis, but I've just realized there is one flaw in it. You have Biggin' as a Large size, when he is supposed to be Huge. Just figured I should mention it.

Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

It was Twitter that alerted me.

Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

Joy upon joy! Guess what came in on this afternoons shipment!

Your order, full of all the originally ordered dice-y goodness will be shipping out today!

I'll send you another confirmation email reflecting the earth set going back on the order :)

thanks,
Sara Marie

Beautiful. This is fantastic news. Thank you! I look forward to getting the confirmation email.

I need to have order #1575846 delivered before Christmas.

I originally had this order merged with my subscription, but now it looks like that isn't going to arrive until after the holiday. Assuming that this is the case, then I need to have this order split back out and sent via the postal method necessary to assure arrival by Friday this week.

Please contact me if there are any questions. Thank you.

I've moved the dice set that the order was waiting for back into your sidecart to ship with the next subscription shipment. To get this delivered before Christmas your shipping method has been upgraded to UPS 2nd day. It should ship this afternoon and when it does you will get a tracking number. I've sent you an update confirmation email.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Sara, would it be possible to substitute the set that is lagging for another set that can ship on time (preferably from the same series like the ninja or urban sets)? Thanks.

Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

Thank you very much Sara Marie.

The Magus I built was an Elf (because to me the Magus is the ideal Elf) with a high Dex and Weapon Finesse.

I have to say, that at least first level, he seemed to perform fairly well. My melee attacks were only off by one from the Barbarian. My damage was less, but only marginally because of the Barbarian's significantly higher Strength.

I'm trying to get my head around this bit and I'm not seeing it.

The magus is using weapon finesse.. so he's got something like a 1d6 weapon, possibly a 14STR so doing 1d6+2 on a hit or 5.5average.

The barbarian has around an 18-20STR, were he to have say a greatsword he'd do 2d6+7 or over double the magus on a hit.

Is the barbarian using a onehanded weapon as well??

I'm not knocking the magus (with this post) but just saying that when you're talking about a weapon finesse build you get hit for damage both on lack of strength and on the weapon's base damage itself.

That said, I do think that Elf is a nice race for the magus. I find it interesting that most people for low levels are making human magi... I think the need for feats is coming into play here though.

-James

The barbarian was using a double weapon (the orc double axe). Comparability of the damage we dealt had more to do that I was rolling well than the actual math, but any melee class is very susceptable to the roll of the dice. I was rolling well, and the occasional bit of magic that I was able to throw in helped me further. With the high Dex and the rolls I was getting, I went first in initiative in every combat. Will every combat with the Magus look like this? Probably not, but it was fun while it lasted and I look forward to see what kind of niftiness comes about for this class. It definitely reminds me of the 1ed and 2ed days with the multi-class elves.

Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

I played a first level Magus this past weekend in a kick-off game for Serpent's Skull. The group included a Barbarian, a Summoner, and a Witch.

The Magus I built was an Elf (because to me the Magus is the ideal Elf) with a high Dex and Weapon Finesse. We had three combats over the course of the session and I can definitely say that my Magus held his own in relation to the other PCs. He accounted for four solo kills, whereas the Barbarian accounted for one.

I have to say, that at least first level, he seemed to perform fairly well. My melee attacks were only off by one from the Barbarian. My damage was less, but only marginally because of the Barbarian's significantly higher Strength.

Though in each combat, I only ended up casting one spell each time. Once combat had started, I ended up resorting strictly to using my weapon.

I can't speak to how this class performs at higher levels, but at least at first level it does perform respectably well.

Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

Not sure about the name, but....

Magic Weapon Magnification: Magic weapons when used in conjunction with Spellstrike in the hands of the Magus are treated as having double their enhancement. For example, a +2 longsword would function as a +4 longsword when used as part of a Spellstrike.

Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

Don't know if you're still looking for it, but I think what you're looking for was located in the Community Created thread.

One could argue that the ability to cast shocking grasp in the 1st round so you can use it to buff the damage of your sword strike in the 2nd round is pretty much pointless unless you start far away (more than 30 ft.) from your target. Then:

1st round - shocking grasp, then move
2nd round - move, then Spellstrike

You are forgetting one thing in your sequence there. They still have to draw their weapon. Which at first level and a BaB of +0, is a move action by itself.

Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

The worst that a GM has done to me....

That would have occurred during 2ed. I was playing a fighter with the Swashbukler kit and a pair of sabres. Another guy was playing a ranger with a serious archery fixation. Our two characters worked well together. He would significantly soften things up as they came at us, and I generally finished them off once they reached us. The GM apparently felt that we were too good at what we did. So he inserted into some treasure that we acquired at one point a pair of magical coins. I conveniently got one while the ranger got the other one. These coins forced a change on our alignments. Mine was shifted from CG to CE and the ranger's went from CG to LG. He apparently figured that this make it impossible for us to work together. We continued working together fairly well, it was in my character's interest at that point to keep the peace so to speak. Shortly after the alignment changes though, an altercation did occur between our characters. It happened because we had been "captured" and forced to row a slave galley. We managed to break free and the LG ranger went berserk and was killing out former captors, while I was knocking them out. My reasoning was that I wasn't going to row my butt back to shore, I was going to make them do it. Our two characters started fighting. As part of 2ed rules, he also spent NWP ranks to be an expert pugilist, so the unarmed combat between the characters greatly favored my character. Evil was winning. :D Something the GM couldn't allow, so he then struck my character blind (bolt from the heavens kind of thing). Which he had blind-fighting, so he carried on with the beating of the ranger. So the GM then struck my character deaf as well, and for good measure, completely removed all sensory information. It was at this point I just packed up my stuff and left.

Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

Okay, I may just be blind, but I've looked through here to see if it's been asked and couldn't see answer, and couldn't find it in the PDF, so...

What's the Magus' starting gold at level one? I'm guessing either 3d6x10 or 4d6x10.

Cheers for the help. I'm hoping to convert my lvl 2 Wizard in my Legacy of Fire campaign on Saturday :)

I used 4d6x10 and the same starting age as the wizard (hopefully Paizo will remember the starting ages in UM as opposed to what happened with the APG).

Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

Excellent work again Jack. Keep them coming.

Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

This is why this is such a great community.

Really difficult to choose this year.

I'm going to have to go with Lora for the win and Jason as honorable mention.

Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

1 person marked this as FAQ candidate.

Downloaded it and quickly flew through it. Looks great, but I can't find in it where it mentions starting ages for the new base classes. Did I miss it somewhere?

Thanks for the great work.

1. I sent the Tsuto mini on to N'wah and I think it was just going to end up as a free download but that's the last I've heard of that.

2. I was hoping the 2nd Runelords set would come out with the 2nd Kingmaker set but I guess not. Hopefully soon...

Sorry I can't give more concrete answers.

Jack, any update on either item? Thanks.

For the longest time, there has been something that was bothering me about the universalist wizard. In particular, the version in the PFRPG. I think the Paizo team did an excellent job of making the specialist wizard competitive with the other classes, but the universalist always felt like they fell a bit short. Until recently, I haven't spent too much time pondering on this topic, but now a player wishes to play a wizard in our group. Consequently I spent more time thinking on this topic. The best thing that I've come up with so far has been to give the universalist wizard a bonus metamagic feat at first level. I've ran it back and forth in my mind, and I haven't encountered any unbalancing items in relation to this adjustment. So, I figured I'd post it here and see if I was missing anything significant that others might be seeing.

Thanks for your feedback in advance.

Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

@Silverhair: I am aware of the one in the Campaign Setting and it's what got me thinking that if there was an online image map that showed the same information and included links to the specific items it would be great.

@Wiki Monster: If the wiki has it, then great, but I haven't it seen it.

@Kthulhu: Online is definitely what I was imagining.

How about an image map of the known Golarion map with push-pins (or something more interesting) showing the location of each module and AP that then links to those modules and APs? This would allow us (GMs) to readily see which of modules or APs are in the same location and therefore assist us in determining which ones to purchase.

Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

Thanks Lisa. That looks like it should work nicely.

I just recently purchased some of the Paizo map packs and I am now faced with the dilemma of how to store them and still keep them organized. So I figured I'd ask.

How does everybody keep their collections of map packs organized?

Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

Sunday, I started my group and they brought along:

Marcellano Charthanion LG Human (Chelaxian) Paladin (Iomedae)
From Korvosa, he inherited a magic, Thassilonian runed, shield from his grandfather who had acquired it after a disastrous raid upon a Shoanti encampment where he was the lone survivor. He has arrived in Sandpoint because of a recent dream that showed him that he was to play a role within the coming chaos.

Lissa Zencaly CG Halfling (Varisian) Rogue
The offspring of a pair of Chelaxian Halflings who survived a disastrous raid by Korvosan Chelaxians upon a Shoanti encampment and were ultimately found and adopted by the Varisians. Came to Sandpoint to help keep an eye on her younger cousin.

Carmelizza Zencaly CG Human (Varisian) Sorcerer (Fire Elemental Bloodline)
The younger, but significantly taller, cousin of Lissa, is the granddaughter of the Varisians who adopted the Halflings. Had a Harrow reading that indicated that the path to her destiny was to begin in Sandpoint.

Jokdul LG Human (Shoanti) Monk
After his rite of passage, Jokdul began following Natu Tuatu and learned to become a monk and an aspiring Pathfinder. Natu loaned him an old wayfinder and gave him the mission to witness and record the founding of the new cathedral.

So far they made it through the initial goblin attack and they think that Aldern is the key to their next step in the adventure. They did have a great of fun with the festival, particularly the games that have been posted on the forums.
