<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>So how do the design team determine the additional PE to increase the 2.5x calculation by?</p>
<p>Just curious as it's not clearly laid out in the universal monster rules, similar to the majority of the UMR abilities.</p>

<p>I've been using Hero Lab for the D20 license before Pathfinder was introduced, once it became officially licensed for Pathfinder I immediately purchased Pathfinder data sets and have continued to do so for each new release.</p>
<p>Hero Lab has an enormous amount of data, Paizo and third party publishers too, and continues to grow and develop in useful features.</p>
<p>This is a great way to dip your toes into the Hero Lab software, without breaking the bank.</p>

<p>Nine lantern archons can fuse together as a full-round action, becoming a single Large entity that is more powerful than the individual archons that make up its parts. Looking like a whirlwind of dancing firefly lights, the gestalt has all the powers and abilities of a Large air elemental plus the following: archon, good, and lawful subtypes; archon traits (aura of menace DC 16); 2 light rays (2d6); DR 5/evil and magic. The archons can remain in this form for 2d4 rounds. When the gestalt separates back into individual lantern archons, its remaining hit points are divided evenly among them; if it had less than 9 hit points, some of the component archons die when the gestalt ends.</p>
<p>Does that include the Air, Elemental and Extraplanar subtypes too?</p>
<p>The text seems to infer using a Large air elemental from the bestiary as base stats but add the archon abilities to it as a template style addition.</p>

<p>I've been onboard with hero lab since its first incarnation. Initially with a D20 license then purchasing the Pathfinder license along with each successive official dataset.</p>
<p>I have to say the options that are available are staggering and well worth the investment. Coupled with the PFSRD web site its a pleasure to be able to reference every option whilst using a character creation software officially supported by a publisher.</p>
<p>The decision to use all the official hero lab datafiles for the RA conversion is a wise one which I applaud. </p>
<p>And to be honest as stated in the prior post nobody has to use the files, they are only provided for convenience. If you don't own hero lab, the module can still be run old school pen and paper method.</p>

<br />
This last part would be a good addition in my opinion. Build-in weaknesses to certain attacks, for example vorpal weapons could cut off a minotaurs head on a 19-20. As it's low lvl, noone cares, but once you see that lvl 20 wizard minotaur throwing meteors in your face, you might want remember this. </blockquote><p>I also like the built in weakness mechanism, however I think the MR value should add a bonus to the weakness to signify the tougher aspects of the Mythic creature.
<p>For example for every MR tier the (weakness) lessens or gains a +1 to one base defensive ability.</p>
<p>Using the Minotaur example above the MR 2 would add +2 either to the DR 5 / epic or the SR 17.</p>
<p>Building in progressive weaknesses, to my thinking at least, just fits right!</p>

This last part would be a good addition in my opinion. Build-in weaknesses to certain attacks, for example vorpal weapons could cut off a minotaurs head on a 19-20. As it's low lvl, noone cares, but once you see that lvl 20 wizard minotaur throwing meteors in...

<p><b>Trample (Ex)</b> As a full-round action, a creature with the trample ability can attempt to overrun any creature that is at least one size category smaller than itself. This works just like the overrun combat maneuver, but the trampling creature does not need to make a check—it merely has to move over opponents in its path. Targets of a trample take an amount of damage equal to the trampling creature's slam damage + 1-1/2 times its Strength modifier. Targets of a trample can make an attack of opportunity, but at a –4 penalty. If targets forgo an attack of opportunity, they can attempt to avoid the trampling creature and receive a Reflex save to take half damage. The save DC against a creature's trample attack is 10 + 1/2 the creature's HD + the creature's Strength modifier (the exact DC is given in the creature's descriptive text). <b>A trampling creature can only deal trampling damage to each target once per round, <i>no matter how many times its movement takes it over a target creature</i></b>.</p>
<p>Emphasis mine, deal trample damage to as many creatures that you pass over during your movement, only once per target per round.</p>
<p>30' of movement, 4 targets, 4 x trample attacks. 1 per target!!</p>

<p>I will be buying the anniversary edition of RotRL though as I've invested heavily in the newer Paizo products.</p>
<p>Now a collected book of the other original adventure paths updated to the PFRPG rules I am interested in. I personally disagree with the opinion that collected editions of Adventure Paths will create hesitant customers or reduce sales.</p>

<p>Ad&d 2nd edition rules.
<br />
Bodrin a 9th lvl human fighter. Con 18
<br />
Numerous fireballs and lightning bolts from an erstwhile / non tactical party member (player) had resulted in a blanket phobia of fire and electricity, resulting in a paranoid twitchy personality.</p>
<p>Bodrin had died and been raised multiple times over the course of, Temple of Tharizdun, Skarda's mirror, The Egg of the Phoenix and Black Courser. </p>
<p>However in a judges guild adventure, the name eludes me ATM, Bodrin had volunteered to alter his alignment to wield a specific item. During the course of the module his actions to revert back to the Chaotic good alignment were questionable. In a particularly nasty battle with Grimlocks Bodrin was attacked and surrounded by hostile forces. Falling to the floor attempting to play dead his sword skittered away from his hands. The nearest weapon, Chrysomer an Intelligent holy avenger normally used by the party paladin lay close by.
<br />
Bodrin grabs the sword, swings at the nearest foe and dies in a blast of electricity as the Lawful Good sword exacts retribution on the now Chaotic wielder.</p>
<p>Hilarity ensued.
<br />
After multiple adventures :- Final Constitution score 9. Last Resurrection save failed.

The dice gods had spoken.</p>

<p>As for the cavalier, at some point I'd have thought the action ought have been played out above ground, maybe allowing the dungeon party to control groups of goblins and stage an attack on the above ground forces. This would then enable everyone to continue to be involved in the action without alienating anyone. And have given you the DM a break from the below ground action.</p>

<p>Okay, here's a few of my thoughts!</p>
<p>I never played WoW, don't have the time. I have played FPS only rarely, Neverwinter nights Solo and Multiplayer occasionally. But I do play DDO when I want an easy online experience based upon the D20 ruleset.</p>
<p>My main draw to a MMO Pathfinder game would be the potential integration with other compatible products that can be used around a tabletop and vice versa.</p>
<p>I often tried to replicate the characters from the D&D digital games onto paper form which invariably led to slight differences. I'd consider it an excellent feature of the online game to import and export characters into a format that could be read by character generators with total compatability of the PFRpg ruleset. I'm specifically referring to Hero Lab but others are available.</p>
<p>Now I'm wary of the whole MMO scene anyway because of the time needed to play, real life often gets in the way but I'm really excited about this announcement, if it was tailored to the multiple styles of players. I prefer solo missions that can be played over a period of time in chunks, but others spend days continuously with the intention of levelling quickly.</p>
<p>Just my opinion!</p>

<p>My group really enjoys not belonging to a cohesive tactical party and contains a majority of the "I'm not very clever, but I can lift really heavy things!!" mentality. What can't be solved with one hammer needs a marginally better hammer.</p>
<p>The consequences are numerous and usually revolve around lots of pain / hurried withdrawal and regroup then listen to the more observant and thoughtful players to formulate a better plan of egress.</p>
<p>We're just about to confront Dragotha in the penultimate book. Which should provide some big smackdowns for all involved.

<p>All the village merchants are accused of price fixing regardless of goods sold. Turns out they are but at the behest of the lower court justice system which is providing the goods / services at a vastly reduced rate to the surrounding villages. Which in turn are re selling the goods back to the merchants for distribution with a higher cost due to import tax imposed by The high court justices which are aware of this practise as they set the tax rate for the treasury and skim the extra revenue generated.

The pcs have a political minefield with the corrupt justice system, corrupt merchants and angry populace!</p>

Turns out they are but at the behest of the lower court justice system which is providing the goods / services at a vastly reduced rate to the surrounding villages. Which in turn are re selling the goods back to the merchants for distribution with a higher cost due to import tax imposed by The high court justices which are aware of this practise as they set the tax rate for the treasury and skim the extra revenue...

<p>I used your own example to explain my opinion, however if you want RAW as you state bleed happens on the creatures turn. Apply bleed damage then Regeneration / Fast Healing which then counteracts the bleed damage.
<br />
As any healing stops the bleed damage (RAW) you don't need to apply bleed after the initial round that it is applied. You can't argue that Fast Healing or Regeneration isn't healing as it restores hit points, this effectively negates the bleed condition!</p>

<p>I rule at the most logical moment.
<br />
Regeneration / Fast Healing on the creatures turn whether it's at the beginning or end is irrelevant.</p>
<p>Then apply any other damage on the initiative round of the Player / Cause of that damage.</p>
<p>So bleed would apply on the rogues initiative even if there is a delay action, because a round signifies a 6 second period that all actions happen in. The individual initiative scores represent a portion of the 6 seconds that each individual starts to act within that period!</p>
<p>Hope that helps.</p>

<p>For maximum effect employ Dust of Sneezing and choking. No save, 12 rounds of inaction on the part of the victim. Loot as much stuff as you want.</p>
<p>I performed this move against my players, the fallout was intense, but it achieved the desired effects without TPKing. My villain required 2 pieces of equipment that the characters had acquired and I played his evil intellect to the letter. No deaths, took the items and left everyone breathing.</p>
<p>Dick move? </p>
<p>Probably, but using nasty stuff against a foe goes both ways, and if the GM wants to create a particularly memorable villain or encounter within the narrative then it's a necessary requirement. All the more reason for the PC's to pursue and exact revenge, this time it's personal.</p>
