What Cyouni said.

And yes, +1/lv to everything is no panacea. But I'll take it over PF1's forced incompetence hands down, warts and all.

Now if only we could make more out of those proficiency levels...

FWIW, I agree also.

My reason for starting this thread is that I have a vague glimmer of why the designers went down this road. Although it's not my preferred solution, I can live with it as a solution to these kinds of problems.

However (in my opinion), the price of now being unable to remain totally incompetent is too high. I'd like them to solve the problem of auto-fail vs auto-succeed situations which cropped up in PF1 without making everyone able to do everything.

I'm hoping they'll be able to tweak the system and find a way to let me do that, whilst still solving the problems they're trying to solve.

FWIW I'm no fan of the +1/level to everything. It's been said before, but for myself when you're adding the same scaling number to everything, you may as not be adding anything and just going off Stat and Prof level. Unfortunatley doing this with skills (where my biggest problem lies) would also lead us back to the PF1 forced incompetance again.

Actually now that reread line weapon for like the 6th time i realize something .... this may be specific language changing the way an attack normally works .."When attacking with such a weapon, make a single attack roll and compare it to the relevant Armor Class of all creatures and objects in a line extending to the weapon’s listed range increment. Roll damage only once. The weapon hits all targets with an AC equal to or lower than the attack roll." ....if so, then neither cover or concealment are meant to apply (never says anything about miss chances from cover or concealment).....remember this is some weird quasi-aoe attack we are talking about ...the only people that really know on this one are the designers

........and regardless still don't think cover can't apply because in the case of a wall that would be total cover and we know things beyond the wall can be struck if the line weapon exceeds its hardness ...total cover would make that impossible ......and how can it provide you cover if the round goes right threw ...false hope bonus? ....maybe if you reduce it all to soft cover(but even that represents a shot getting stopped/deflected by a creature in your path..you can't do that to a line weapon if it beats your dr) .... the description doesn't mention anything about targets\obstacles creating cover for the next target in the path ...the cover in this case either stops it with Hardness(negating the attack entirely), or it doesn't and isn't cover

In this case, I'd roll to attack, and damage once as instructed. If the target has cover roll the miss chance as well.

Cheers, for this. Now time to take a look over my character and work out what I fancy doing.

To Judge a Soul part 1 is good for this.

Kael Falmar, Master Necromancer and newly appointed Seeker, is pleased to submit his research into the wholly Arcane Restoration of the recently Deceased.

(Male Elf Necromancer 5/Pathfinder Savant 7, can now cast Raise Dead as a 6th Level Wizard Spell)

As you may have guessed, loving the touches of Metropolis and Orthodox Christan iconography in that picture of Brigh.
You chaps (and chapettes) have really done this proud!
Thanks for taking the gamble on Iron Gods, this is quite definately my favourite project you have done to date!

I imagine it will be a lot of fun to play The Exchange. You never know when a mission comes your way if its doing something legitimate for Aaqir or something questionable by Guaril. The best will be where you have the option to do one mission but with two methods, which will you choose?

The more profitable one ;-)

One of my players has started collecting all the deep platinum he can find so he can wear it. He's started getting mysterious sea-based powers that he isn't questioning very much.

Alas, I will be in Rome when this is on. The other UK Venture-Captains will have things running smoothly though so have fun everybody!

Hope Rome goes well for you! We'll hopefully catch up with you at PaizoConUK.

It makes me think of Santa Clause Conquers the Martians.

Bow down before the power of Santa!

Us - Yes but the dead are rising so we need to change with the times.

Not Pathfinder, but:

DM: Does anyone have Wilderness Survival?

Me: Who needs Wilderness Survival. We have a cart! We can just crush nature under its iron-shod wheels.

Argh! I've been signed up to a new trade show that weekend. it's only a one-dayer though so I my be able to wrangle either Friday balti and Saturday morning or Sunday. If I can I'll sign up to GM for you Dave. Of cause You'll be getting a Mogs either way ;-)

Checking dates with work tomorrow, would be nice to make it to a second PaizoCon!

We'll see you there!

SO COOL!!!

Actually I'd imagine they're quite warm.

Sorry, somebody was bound to say it...

I basically think the Ninja class would make a good Swashbuckler type character. I am doing this for PFS so there are my restrictions. I am primarilly looking for a way to pick up rapier proficency without wasting a feat on martial weapon proficency. I am also would prefer not to be a half elf (I like them but have several already).

Answers?

How do you feel about being an actual elf? They get rapier prof. for free.

Bullets apparently pierce right through plates of adamantine armor, but they can indeed be slapped out of the way by a 1st level human martial artist. The more you know! :D

What is metal compared to the purity of unarmed combat!
