[/end repetitive questions]

Is this order being delayed because of an item not currently being available?

Would it be possible to have the Skull & Shackles part of the order shipped separately USPS first class?

I've never had firearms in any of my games to date but will give them a go for S&S as I feel they fit the campaign well.

I was wondering how many of you GM's are going to be running S&S with Firearms/Cannons?

Anyone know what this would cost?

I don't see it listed anywhere.

Please and thank you.

Please cancel this order, thanks.

Please cancel/remove the Battles plus black dragon from my sidecart.

An extension to my house has eaten all my money :(

These glasses should be 2010 versions, not 2011.

Please can you confirm that all glasses not yet shipped are 2010 glasses?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Could I have the items moved from this order to another one?

I don't want to wait until mid 2012 for the glasses or miniatures!!

Can they be added to my next Subscription container please.

Thanks in advance

1) How do PC's learn what the weaknesses of Haunts are?

2) How do they learn how to damage them with positive energy/Holy water? Or is this assumed knowledge?

They can detect a Haunt with detect undead, but are there any other means that PC's can do to find them without setting them off??

Would Pharasma have issues with her faithful casting spells like animate dead to use undead in battle, or would she see that as distasteful?

In a low Magic, or infrequent Magic Shop type Adventure which Classes deal with the lack of bling best?

Is this AP any good?

Also, how much of the AP involves no "Ye old magic shops"

Are the RAI so that you can heal with all your own channels assuming you're channelling to harm the enemy?

Would you also heal if channelling to harm outsiders or elemental?

Is RotRL being released as a all in one book? If so, where can I order it!?

Does using the player's guides encourage meta-gaming?

Is it better to have player's pick characters based on what they want to play rather than on what the Player's Guide tells them will be effective?

I'm thinking that knowing that you're in a desert campaign [Legacy of Fire] might make your character choices warped, same thing goes with knowing that Carrion Crown will be jam packed with undead.

Are the Player's Guides really the best starting place for the players?

Looking at the latter parts in particular, Death Ward would seem to turn many of the encounters into walk-overs.

Anyone have any experience with this yet [at all]??

If your II is a ring for example (something you're always wearing) would an ability like casting a spell with Personal as the Target effect you the wearer?

Mirror Image, for example.

Please Cancel my Campaign Setting Sub with immediate effect.

The "pending" releases should not be sent or charged for hopefully.

Thanks in advance

So I've been playing a rule, that I can't confirm in the Player's Rulebook, for like, forever. I picked up this rule from other players many many moons ago and haven't ever questioned it until a player asked me where in the rulebook it says this is possible....

I cast Lightning Bolt down a 10ft. wide corridor. I choose the corner of my square that runs down between the two rows of squares thus Bolting every square.
In effect, I'm hitting everything in a 120ft line down 2 rows.

In the rulebook it does give examples of "line" attacks and none of them actually use this "getting two rows in one" tactic.

Is that because I've had it wrong all this time, or can it be done?

Question is in the title really.

So I true strike myself up and the next turn use a trip attack, would that +20 add to the CMB result to perform that manoeuvre?

Can you have personal spells like Shield or Mirror Image on a Wand?

Is this legal using RAW to have this?

Would you let it fly?

Is it too strong?

Do we have a release date yet?

Will this product be followed by some more cool maps?

Hey,

Do you, the DM's of planet Pathfinder, impose any penalties on your players for any reason?

For example, if a player kept on changing his character, would you make them start at a lower level? Or with less starting cash?

The problem with the above is that the knock on effects can potentially be bad for everyone - if the "tank" is a weakling, or has a useless weapon he could put the rest of the party in danger which doesn't seem fair.

Other possible player issues would include tardiness, not showing up often enough, doing stupid things in the adventure - endangering others etc.

So do you guys, and in what manner, penalise players for any reason?

When Blinking, can you attack Incorporeal creature normally [avoiding their half damage ability] or do they still only take half damage?

Thanks in advance

Can you spend more than 1 Ki as a swift action?

For example, could you spend 3 Ki to gain +4 AC, +20ft movement & an additional attack ?

or

Spend 2 Ki to gain +8 AC ?

Thanks in advance

Is it normal for a 9th level Bear Shaman Druid to have a bloody great Bear as an amimal companion AND an Awakened Elephant trampling all over the place?

Not to mention the standard action medium Bear Attack squad that swamps the battlefield!!

Overpowered? or on par?

If you have a Intelligent Shield, for example, that has spell casting abilities, are those spells cast as Spell-like abilities?

A Shield can't complete Somatic components [no fingers or such].

If they are spell-like abilities, would they provoke AoO's?

My head is filled with confusment :-{)

I'm about to get 4th level spells [only one to start] and can't decide what to take.

The character is designed to part-blast but the spell could be anything really.

Any ideas/favorites?

If you have a 30ft long corridor full of Gnolls [for example] and you cast one of the create pit spells in the middle....
.
.
.
.
~~~~~~
GGGGGG
GGGGGG
~~~~~~

Blue G's are where the Pit is.

If all the Gnolls make their saves where do they all end up?

Do they all shuffle along the corridor?, or fall regardless of save due to there being nowhere to go?

Can you have mutiple PC's involved in making Potions?

For example, Can one PC have the Feat and another cast the spell required to make the potion?

Can you make full round actions when grappled?

I'm building an Evil [NE] Inquisitor character to join in a LoF campaign, with Lamashtu as his deity.

I don't want to de-rail the campaign with silly in-party fighting about alignment so I'll probably hide my alignment from the other players.

The problem is how to play an Evil dude. I don't know the whole LoF story [currently on book 2] but I get the impression that the overall campaign story isn't all that alignment biased so I should be good to go.

My character is primarily adventuring for power and for the general enjoyment of killing stuff, because he is going to have a pretty low intelligence and isn't all that good with money, he'll probably give his cut of loot to one of the other party members to "look after".

So, how do I play an Evil dude in a group of non-evil dudes without falling into the Evil-Stupid pit hole of wanting to kill other party members?

Hey,
I don't seem to have a pdf in my downloads page for this book [I have the hard copy].

After searching I found one thread saying you can combine these two Feats and one saying you couldn't...

Can they be used together??

So my Witch died and I'm going to play a level 3 Alchemist. I have 3k to spend but I'm not sure where to start.

Nobzig Twiddlebits [Gnome Smokin' Alchemist 3]
CG
Str 8, Dex 16, Con 12, Int 18, Wis 8, Cha 10
HP:21
AC:17 [Studded Leather mw]
Saves:Fort +4, Ref +6, Will +0
Feats:Point Blank Shot, Precise Bomb [having second thoughts about this due to it not being any use with the smoke type bombs (focus of character)], Extra Discovery - Smoke Bomb

I'm tempted to save as much as possible to save up for a Headband but I would also like to splash the lot now.

Any ideas?

Has anyone made a PFRPG Beholder stat block?

Quick Question: Which types of equipment can be purchased for Animal Companions?

The Companion in question [in game] is a Bear.

Quick Question: Can you apply Rapid Shot to Ray attacks?

I have a player that wants to use it with an Orison only.

There are a number of spreadsheets available for use with the Kingdom building rules but I wonder if anyone is running it on paper alone?

Is it do-able, or would that be a nightmare?

If I'm right in thinking that the Magus will have other touch spell options from the UM book, how can we playtest it without those as they would seem quiet critical?

All 4 files

I'd missed some of the 1 1/2 times Str mods on single attack creatures. Most were low level ones but still, they were incorrect, but no more! [I hope!]

The files with an "[a]" are the Augmented ones.

Enjoy!

Please cancel my Pathfinder Campaign Setting [Chronicles] subscription.

Although there are a number of upcoming releases that I'll no doubt purchase, there are also too many "silly" books in this series, for example... Misfit Monsters, More Books of the Damned, Lost Cities, Rules of Fear, Dungeons etc etc.

This line should focus on the Geography of the World, it's people and culture.

Also, The Map folio's for the Adventure Paths should be included in the AP subscription not this one, imo.

I thought Traits were suppose to be about half a Feat in value until I saw the "Adopted" Social trait which seems pretty Brok.., err overpowered [almost said it!]

Why take a +1 trait bonus to Will saves when you can have...

A Bonus Feat [assuming you're not human]

Halfling Luck: +1 to all saves! Way more than a Feat

Hardy: +2 racial bonus to saves vs. Poison, Spells, & Spell-like Abilities! [assuming you're not a Dwarf] Way more than a Feat

Darkvision [assuming you're not a Dwarf or Half-Orc] Fantastic for certain builds, worth a Feat for those builds

Elven Magic: +2 to overcome Spell Resistance! It's a whole Feat

Am I missing something here or is this the only Trait?

So I Evil Eye the monster, would I know if it has worked?

Would I instinctively know or would I need to make some sort of Perception check to notice that my target is say, easier to hit, or less resistant to spells?

I appreciate that we don't see how many people are joining PF scrips but there does seem to be a lot of cancellations.

What's going on?

Can you use UMD on a scroll of shield, mirror image etc?

Doesn't the personal bit mean the creator of the scroll?

Back in 3.broken neutralize poison ended all poison affects. In PF we now have a better mechanic where caster level and severity of poison are taken into account.

The problem to me is that now Poisons work round after round, you don't get the old 1 minute honeymoon period between failing your save and having to deal with it before you got hit a second time. Basically there was plenty of time to deal with the Poison.

Baring in mind that we could be facing poisoning creatures from level 1 and neutralize poison isn't available to cast until level 7 for a Cleric [or 5 for a Druid], and that a scroll [if over-cast] would cost 700gp's. Is it time for neutralize poison to be looked at again?

Do you prepare it? Do you think it's too high a level, especially now that you have to succeed on a caster level check and get to the victim pretty much immediately if you're going to bother at all.

Or do you just ignore neutralize poison and just deal with the affects via lower level magic like restoration, lesser?

Now I've had a chance to read through the book I have my favourite parts and wondered what others feel about the books contents?

I really like the Alternate class features [was a big fan of Unearthed Arcana] as these give extra mileage to the existing classes with plenty of options to experiment with.

Of the new Classes I really like the Oracle. It's a Favoured Soul done right, with many interesting class options. I think this class [with the Life Mystery] can easily replace the Cleric, and could do a pretty good job with any of the Mysteries.

I also really like the Inquisitor, a divine Bard at last! Certainly a good 5th party member but I think this class could also take one of the first 4 "normal" roles to make an interesting change.

Let's keep this thread for things you really like and not for things you don't like, please! [Think the Paizo team might like some positive feedback!]

Caster level check: d20 + caster level + Ability mod vs. 15 + 2x spell level.

Isn't that too easy?

A couple of examples...

5th level caster with average +3 in his relevant ability is casting his highest level spell.

d20 + 5 + 3 vs. 15 + 6
d20 + 8 vs. 21
You only need to roll 13 for you highest level spell without the Feat Combat Casting?
If you have Combat Casting [CC] that's only 9 required.

Chances are that the +3 is more likely to be +4 or +5 meaning you may only require an 11 without CC, 7 with.

Let’s look at a meat and potatoes level 2 spell for this guy with a +4 ability mod.
He needs 10 without CC, 6 with.

Level 15 caster with +5 in his relevant ability is casting his highest level spell.

d20 + 15 + 5 vs. 15 + 16
d20 + 20 vs. 31
You only need 11, or 7 with CC. If this dude is casting a level 5 spell he'll only need a 5, or 1 with CC.

Chances are that ability mod will more likely be +6 or +7, so now he only needs 9 without CC, or 5 with. And the 5th level spell requires a 3 without, or 1 with.

Anyhoo, you get the idea. I've noticed that in the games I run and play in, casting defensively almost never fails and that doesn't seem right somehow.

Anyone else feels it's a bit too easy?
