no one ? :(

Hi all,
I'm attending my first GenCon this year,coming from Australia,I'd love to play my first ever Pathfinder game,I see quite a lot of sessions on the hiprogrammer site.
Would I book a 1-5 level session and just rock up with my dice or are ther some prerequisites I need to do first?

Are there going to be new player friendly sessions I guess I'm asking,I played a little bit of 3.5 back in the day.
Any advice more than welcome

that's the one!
thanks guys

Hi,
one of the Pathfinder books had a nasty looking vampire on the cover,I cant find it anywhere,anyone know which on it was?
thanks in advance

Sorry to come in late,the pre gen Kyra in the back,she has a Scimitar,is this right for a Cleric?

I was reproducing the character for my players in Hero lab and the program says its a "martial weapon proficiency" required for the Scimitar and attacking with it would be at a -3 instead of the +1 stated in the back of the book,is the Scimitar a mistake in printing?

thanks in advance

Thanks for the replies,I'm a dummy,all the time I'm thinking d20 d20,d100 percentage dice!
you can tell I don't roll them very often

Hi
anther newbie question from me,I've been reading about Arcane spell failure chance,the failure percentage varying according to armor worn-etc.When you roll your Arcane spell failure check,what is the target number? how do you work out the percentage check?Could you give me a "in game" example
I don't get it.Sorry to be such a newb.
Thanks in advance

Hi,

just a quick one,if Ezren's Dex is 9,why is his reflex +1 on the pregen sheet for Crypt of the Everflame?
thanks

His weasel familiar is good for a +2, did they leave it out of his stat block?

Ahh,thanks logic,the pet is the key,Exren's Dex is 9(-1)and with his Weasel +2 to Dex makes it +1

Thanks for the replies,it's all clear now.what I'm doing as a brand new GM is looking at the pregen sheets and digging under the numbers to see how they arrive at the total.

Newb question.

On the Valeros Fighter pregen at the back of "Crypt of the Everflame" he has +3 and +2 with his duel wielding,is this because he is "proficient" with both weapons (longsword and short sword)and does not incur the -2 to both weapons from TWF?

Also,one of his feats is Weapons focus longsword which says "Benefit: You gain a +1 bonus on all attack rolls you make using the selected weapon."
so should not his +3 on the sheet be a +4?

thanks in advance

Thanks for the quick reply,wow,that seems kind of harsh punishment for first level characters.
I'm guessing that the "incorporeal' nature of the attack will mean it goes through armor and the like?
I'm also wondering if I'm right and perhaps given there will be 3 adventures at most I should tone the monster down?

Hi,
I'm a newbie GM with a question concerning an encounter that occurs in "Crypt of the Everflame".
In one of the rooms the players encounter a Shadow that deals strength damage,could you provide me with an example of what would happen when a character is hit by strength damage from a game mechanic point of view.
Say a Fighter is hit with normal fighter stats and how that effects him,or a wizard etc.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I have the Core rule book, I’ve ordered the GM screen, I’m about to get the Bestiary and I have Crypt of the Everflame...and I'm going to GM for the first time. Ever.

Now I'm scared.
I have been looking around the site for a while now and the adventure paths look like the way to go. Start with The Bastards of Erebus you recon?
What would you do?
What Adventure path should I start at? Should I go with the modules till I get a feel for how to run a game? Or start with an Adventure path?
Any advice would be more than welcome.

Hi,
Thanks for your awesome quick and informative replies, what I meant for “build” is; where would you put your highest ability scores,18 str ,16 wis? what is the dump stat ect,what is key for making a effective druid. I have no frame of reference as to what is best (and perhaps I’m not being clear, wouldn’t be the first time)
Perhaps this is too vague a question, if so, put it down to newbie drivel :)

Hi all, I’m a new player to Pathfinder, I’ve mainly played 4E in the past and I have a couple of questions.
I received the core rule book in the post yesterday and I decided I want to play a druid. I guess I’ve been spoilt over at the wizard forums with character builder software, guides and builds aplenty. I have no idea what starting stats to use and how to play my Druid, so my first question is; is there a resource here or elsewhere that that can guide me in the creation of my Pathfinder character with regard to starting stats and build options?

The second question is about skills, I just cant work it out, my class skills are 3 and all the rest are zero?-I’m confused. “You can never have more ranks in a skill than
your total number of Hit Dice” so at first level my druid can have a maximum of 8?

Sorry to be such a newb,thanks in advance

Thanks for the links and the replies, I will be downloading and reading strait away, cheers!

Hi,
I’m a total newbie (and first post) to pathfinder adventures,Ive ordered my copy of the core rulebook and I’m waiting for it to make its way to Melbourne, I have a question about this particular AP.

Can I form a group and start this campaign from Level 1?

Thanks for your time
