I was wondering what other Pathfinder compitable settings are out on the market.

I know of:

Freeport

Oathbound

Midgard ( a work in progress)

Anyone know of any others? I will mention that I know of some 3.5 that can be converted to 3.5 yet I have neither the time or interest to do so.

Imo the Bonding with the group is underpowered as an ability as opposed to picking an animal companion. The duration of the class feature is tied to wisdom which a Ranger does not really need a high score in. A 14 at most to be able to use all his spells. The bouns provided imo is too low until they reach at least 10th level. Compared to having an aniomal compaion that gets better as you advance in levels just does not seem worth taking imo.

Any weapons that you think classes in Pathfinder should have and are not listed in their class features?

For myself handaxe for the Druid. If any weapon imo is a no brainer for the class to have it's that one. Good luck trying to cut braches let alone a tree with their current selection. Scimitar and sickle just are not useful for the job imo. A picture of the current version of one and one I used when I went to Italy on vacation: http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-63692071/stock-photo-an-old-farm-hand-scyth e-on-a-white-background.html . That thing is not cutting through any thick branches let alone a tree trunk. And yes they can use it off screen so to speak yet I see no reason why it should not be part of their lsit of weapons they can use in combat.

I'm in a PF where I just levelled up to third level and while reading the description of Inspire Cmpetence it say a Bard cannot use it on himself. Helping other characters chances to use their skills yet not your own. Makes no sense at all and seems to me at least as a heavy handed attempt at game balance. I work in customer service I have improved new employees abilites with their own customer service skills. I'm also using my knowledge to improve my own. Even game balance imo seems like a poor excuse as I'm giving for the moment a +2 to skill checks to other members in the group at least 13 times. If I were to use all my bardic performances to improve skills in one sitting. How does that not break game balance. Seriously. They give a class the ability to improve other party members skills yet not their own. Yet they allow the same class to inspire courage and allow the bard to use that ability also I can see why some fans give the Paizo dev such a hard tiem. For the most part they have a solid ruleset yet sometimes they either include rules or alter rules that make you go WTH sometimes.

I'm currently running the Council of Thieves AP an wanted to change up some of the enemies the grou is fighting. I was inspired to use a Devourer (PF Bestiary 1 p 82) and was wondering if they could have access to divine power from an evil god. It's a pretty strong opponent yet imo will eventually be overpowered by the players at higher levels. So any suggesstions. Mods if this is the wrong place for the thread please move it to the right place.

Today I order two products.

They are:

Book of the River Nations: Complete Player's Reference for Kingdom Building (PFRPG and Nyambe African Adventures.

when I check to see my order history I see two orders. From what I read it will be two seperate orders.

My problem and issue is that in the order number 2026026 I see two different products depending on which screen your looking at. When I first load up my order history it shows Slumerbering Tsar 11 PDf as having been ordered. Which I did not order. When I click on the order number to get an expanded view of the order it lists Book of the River Nations as having been ordered. No problems with Nyambe though.

It also says I can download the Slumbering Tsar. All of it. Something else I did not order. I removed it from cart to order another day. I only ordered about 25$ worth of items. The PDF link to download the River kingdomes book does work.

I know this sounds confusing and strange which is why I wanted to bring it to your attention.

Don't purchase it or at the very least wait for the second printing. Green Ronin essentially screwed up and instead of including the errata they put into the pocket edition used the 2009 non-erratad edition along with the adventure "Peril at King's Landing". Why bother buying the same book with the same errors a second time for 50$ even with better production values.

I'm thinking of running either the LoF AP or the Jade Regent. Not sure which. I want to know the good and bad apsects of each AP. In this Jade Regent. So fire away.

A Paradoy is coming:

A Game of Groans: A Sonnet of Slush and Soot
by George R.R. Washington

... St. Martin's Press | March 27, 2012 | Trade Paperback

A PARODY OF THE BELOVED FANTASY DOORSTOP… ER, SAGA

In the land of the Eight (or was it Six?) Kingdoms-where the seasons last as long as a series of bestselling Tolkien-esque novels-trouble is brewing. The mud is growing muddier, the onions are rotting, the Wall to the North (or is it the South?) is melting, and Lord Barker of Summerseve is getting worried. His wife is addicted to Godsweede, his King is too fat to fit into his armor, and the foreshadowing is out of control. All in all, not the position you want to be in when Summer is coming.

From this world of outdoor fornication with horse-people (and indoor fornication with blood relatives) comes an epic story of novella proportions. Amid plots and counterplots, power-hungry warriors and overworked ravens, poor reception and no wireless, the future of the Barkers, their BFFs, and their enemies dangles in the balance, as each strives to survive long enough to appear in at least two of the sequels.

"His teeth might be wooden, but his prose is not."

---J.R.R. Madison

George R. R. Washington cannot tell a lie: A Game of Groans was not prepared, authorized, licensed, approved, or endorsed by any person or entity involved in creating or producing any of the Song of Ice and Fire books or the Games of Throne television program. Please direct any inquiries to our legal counsel, Clarence R. R. Darrow.

It was inevitable of course.

In my opinion. The link: http://community.wizards.com/dndnext/blog/2012/02/09/fighter_a-go-go . I really hope they are not planning on just rehashing the 3E fighter. Not to mention Im more worried then ever about where they plan to take 5E. Still early in the design process so I might just be wrooying for nothing.

As the title says how can both magic systems exist side by side. Keep it civil and polite.

I always like getting more campaign settings and beyond converting 3.5 ones to PF and the Galorion and Midgard has anyone else released or will release a camoign setting using PF rules?

checked the Kobold Quarterly website yet see no real update to Midgard. Anyone else know more?

Not sure if this goes here. I have received this twice in my hotmail in the last couple of days:

Seems like a scam to me. Anyone else getting the same message?

I'm curious as to how others have altered other non-Paizo campaign such as Forgotten Realsm, Eberron and Freeport.

One last thing. I want to see no anti-4E comments of any kind within this thread. Nor how better or worse an existing campaign setting is. Only how you have changed it.

For me I have changed a few things in FR. Less gods. Too many gods imo Tilverton is now the site of Cauldron the city from the Shackled City Campaign setting. Uther no longer exists. With access to no god and a clergy universally hated by the people its going to take more than the equivalent of magical arm dealers to stop Mulhorand from conquering them which they did.

I recently bought the Inner Sea World Campaign guide and for the most part I like alot of the material yet I can see myself changing some of the factions and countries in the book. I don't like Galt that much and a country where the ruling body is disposed off on a regular basis added with an almost constabnt of anarchy just does not appeal to me. So I'm probably going to have them invaded and become an extension of whomever conquers them. What have you the Paizo fanabse changed or altered in the default background?

One last thing. I want to see no anti-4E comments of any kind within this thread nor any referecnes to Forgotten Realms of any sort. I'm not interested in hearing about that.

Since a thread about this topic was locked I will start two new threads one for and one against. Keep it civil otherwise the thread will be locked and lets try to not have that happen again.

I will start the ball rolling. I am in favor of an official product that supports Epic play. I think PF could use one ot round out what I think is missing in the rules and to compete on equal terms with 4E and 3.5.

I'm think of eventually usiing the SC module yet setting in the FR. Wher would be the best spot to set it up in that world?

If designed well and not just for the sake of adding them. Paizo imo has done a good job with the ones we already have. Anyone else want more Prcs. I also ask that you not wrote posts such as "no more prcs" or the like as their already is a thread for that.

So we have UM and UC. I hope Paizo eventually does one for Divine and Rogue classe. I like more options and figure it would make sense for them to make at least more.

Being a Dm one of the many 3.5 products I liked were the various environment books from 3.5 and 3pp. It made it easier to create a homebrew campaign. I also think ti would be useful to have a bok on different environments along woth specific races, feats, classes and equipment.

Who does what he is supposed to do. Sells both D&D and Pathfinder and refrains from commenting for or agsinst either edition and doing well. http://blackdiamondgames.blogspot.com/2011/03/selling-pathfinder-gts-presen tation.html . Now if only more store owners would follow his advice you would have less local gaming stores closing.

For the longest time I have always used the FR background as written without any major changes lately I find myself altering parts of the background. So list what you have changed.

This thread is not about how much better FR was under either edition or your dislike for what Wotc did to FR under 4E only what you as a DM have changed.

Myself I am starting slowly.

Unther is gone. Without any God king left to portect them and a sizeable chunck of the population hating the old regime under the god king they were absorbed by Mulhorand empire. It was a slow process but they no longer exist. While you have small insurections nothing that will do much if anything in the long run. never l;iked the whole Thayan Red Wizards keeping the rebellion going on angle. They maybe powerful arms dealers yet even they have limits.

Tllverton is no longer just an empty space filled with shadows and deeper darkness. I'm planning to add the city from the Shackled City campign module. Not sure how much of an area I will need on the map.

Killing off or retiring some of the gods. too mny god imo with too may similar portfolios.

That's it for now. May change more innthe future.

I'm starting this thread to have a spot where posters can advertise and post links to products that include non-Standard PF races. Along with reviews if any. Mainly for me to see if their would be a product that I might be interesrested in and because at least to me it seems a lot of people are interested in more options on the board. I ask tha any comments regarding rules bloat or anything along the lines of "we have enough races" or similar not be posted. It's not the purpose of this thread.

at a reasonable price. If ayone in Montreal has one I am looking for one. Even from outside Montreal. Apologies if this is not in the right forum.

Keep ti civil and stick to topic. I ask to no references of any kind to Wotc or 4E or rules bloat show up in thios thread.

With 2011 in full swing and 2012 approaching what would you like to see

Paizo stick with the four hardcover a yesr model. Their books re great and of excellant quality. i hope they can kee producing that amount per year.

More high level Aps. Or at the very least one that goes beyond level 20

A compilation of the older Aps in a softover or hardcover format. Think Shackled City. along with a PF update to SC

A "Ultimate" for Clerics Druids. Rangers and Rogues.

More Bestiaries along with a PF Savage sepcies book. Every edition with the exception of 1E allowed you to play them. wHy should PF be the exception.

A PF psionic book along with an Epic Level Book.

How easy is it? Is there some sort of conversion document?

In terms of sourcebooks from Paizo. Any specific location books I should pick-up.

Not sure if this topic goes here.

First off I understand that when you shop online you pay shipping. Second i understand that companies want to make money. Yesterday I wanted to order a book from Amazon it was the 3.5 Macic Item Compendium. Before shopping about 50$ not too bad. I expected it too be expensive it is a popular 3.5. book. Then when I am about to finalize the order Amazon adds 35$ shipping. I tried 2 other D&D books one at 18$ and another at 25$ and again 35$ shipping. Has there been any changes in the shipping rates? I would understand say if I was living overseas yet Canada is right next door to the USA. I have to say Amazon has probably lost me as a customer. I don't mind paying shiping yet not when the amount is almost double the price of the book I'm buying. And it's not like the books are that large or heavy to ship out.

As the thread says what do you think are the bad elements of Pathfinder. Please keep the topic civil.

Not sure where to put this thread so I will start it here. Please be civil about the topic and to each other. Before anyone says it THACO is not that hard to caluclate. If you graduated from high school you can do the math. I ask that you please refrain from posting "Wotc stopped producing it" or anything along those lines as it adds nothing to the conversation.

So does anoyne here on the board play or played 2E? What did you enjoy and what did you not? Was their any products you disliked or liked? Rules you liked or disliked?

As the thread title says why did you pick 4E over other existing versions of D&D. Keep it civil and please do not turn this into an edition war.

I am going to probably start a Kingmaker game in a few months. I bought the APG a few days ago and wonder what things in it rules wise I would need to allow or disallow. First off I do not want to see the word "broken" in any shape or form. No synonyms, verbs pronouns or anyting along " at my game this would be consider broken"

Not "it's broken because it allows a bonus higher than +1"
or
"It's too good an ability to give to the players"
or
"It allows something thtat as a DM I cannot control"

Or anything similar along those liness. Or you will be reported to the mods. It already happen once in a recent theread I amde and I do not want to see it in this one.

First off I know how some on this board dislike the book. So to avoid any confusion this thread is about:

Using stuff from BO9S with Pathfinder. How would you incorporate it and how would you convert it.

NOT a thread where you tell me how you hate the book, or how broken it is or how you would not allow it at your table or anything negative about hsort of something that I may need to be careful about ion terms of game mechanics. I really do no want this thread to turn into a fight betwwen the pro and con factions who dilike and like the book. Ignore the above and you will be reported to the mods.

So enlighten me on how to use the book.

I wanted to ask when the revised Pathfinder setting book will be released? At the bookstore where I work we have a listing for Sept 18. I have read onother websites that it will be next year. So which one is it?

First off this is not a thread to vent about 4E or anything remotely resembling it. If it turns inot that I will ask the mods to lock it.

I am playing in a 4E game and one of the more use things I use is the Character Builder. It allows me to stat characters up in a matter of minutes. While at the sam time containng all the information on feats, abilites and powers etc. I think that it is something that Paizo should look into in the future imo.

Yes I know we can do it by hand but thats not the point of this topic. It would reduce the time needed to mkae characters. A monster builder would also be nice too.

I already have the core book along with the Bestirary and the scrren. I was wondering which of the Pathfinder Chronicles and companions use the Pathfinder rules and which ones do not. I am asking because I rather by the ones that have the Pathfinder rules and have zero level interest in converting the ones that are 3.5. Not to mention with the Pathfinder Chronicles setting getting the full Pathfinder treatment I also worried that Paizo may rerelease some of the chornicles and companions again. So I do not want to end up buying the same products again.

Hello to all

I will be running a Pathfinder game using the Council of Thieves adventure path and looking for any suggesstions you have.

It says when you take a full round action you can make additional attack with a ranged weapon this round. Is the extra attack with the highest BAB before the -2 penalty? My character is a Ranger with Manyshot. MY Ranger is level 9. does that mean on a Full Round action he receives 4 attacks all at a -2 penalty?

Let me know the good and the bad elements about the adventure path overall. How easy would it be to convert to Pathfinder? Please keep it civil.

First off the only responses that I want are from those who have played the game. At the minimum read the rules. That being said

Do not post:

-Anything about previous editions of the game. Not unless it pertains to the topic at hand. I do not want any edition wars. You want to start a topic debating how better the previous editions are start your own thread.

-"Its too different" or it"s a board game". This version was designed from the start to be different. Telling me it's different is wasting my time and yours.I do not consider it a valid critism either. From what I saw on the videos and heard from others it's not a boardgame and it will not be considered relavent to the topic of this thread.

-Failure to follow the above will get the thread closed.

-Keep it civil.

Hey All

I am starting this thread for those who do not like Pathfinder and want to comment about what they dislike. I am starting a similar thread about stuff they do like. Please keep it civil.

I hope it's not a stupid question but is thePathfinder Chronicles: Campaign Setting still usable with the current edition of PFRP? I'm asking because I want to buy it yet don't want to invest in a product that maybe revised.

Besdies the PF Bestiary and Brta release of the PF core book what products are next for the PF line?

I like what I see in PF and as I no longer have the 3.5. Core books was wondering if they are required to get the most out of PF?
