Friend of mine in the Navy had a 1e fighter with a very low intelligence & high Charisma. His name was Dain Bramage. He played that character up to 10th level, doing all sorts of crazy things. Getting the party into quests & fights they had no business being in. To make matters worse, every time he rolled hit dice, he roll a 10. Every time he got the party nearly trounced, he would still be full of HP & full of himself. They would ask him why & he would say, "Because I'm Dain Bramage." After 10 levels, one party member got tired of him saying that as an excuse & flew off the handle, asking, "What is that supposed to mean? Just because you are Dain Bramage. Doesn't mean you can act like a brain damaged id...... Oh you son of a bi79*****!" They finally got the name.

White Plume Mountain Revised over at the D&D website....FREE!!!!!

Maybe another thing to do is getting somebody to make Hero Lab files for this when it comes out.

Not yet, though they are near the front of the line, once we have someone in place as our HL guru. I'm hoping to make an announcement soon... but no, not yet.

:( Lol, I can wait.

Elven Long Knife, Dam: 1d6, Crit: 19-20 / x2, Range 10', Damage: P/S, Martial Weapon

These are the stats for the Drow Long Knives from Eberron.

I own it & actually reviewed it, 4/5 stars. It really is a great way to get a benefit out of Leadership without driving your GM crazy.

Found a problem with one monster, the plague zombie. Has a bunch of high level abilities in the entry that it doesn't have. I was using it last night & noticed a 1/2 CR creature that supposedly had, among other things, greater teleport & DR 10/cold iron.

Louis, I think you have a product here that I would love to have. I always thought your stuff was good quality, but just didn't fit with anything I was running, or wanted to run. This I already have a place for in my present campaign.

As for a role, he seems to be a support character, but not in the traditional sense. Depending on the build & archetype, he could fill a combatant role. He could even be a viable rogue replacement for dungeon environments.

Heck with the contest. This is very useful for anybody posting a monster. :P

Another look at the arcane mechanik type can be found here.

Here is the 4th round version of the Machinesmith. So download, evaluate and comment. Thanks!

Now this draft I like very much. Earlier ones were around the over-powered side of things. This one looks pretty good, maybe even edging to a little under-powered. I think that perception would change if I saw it in action. Flavor wise it is pretty awesome. While I know people think it is like the artificer, but I don't, at least not as much. Artificers never really capture the "magical technologist" feel for me, though I liked them. They were more about magic items. That is why I really feel a crafter like that should be a wizard archetype. This class could be given to a tinker gnome in Spelljammer & you would have the perfect match, lol.

One of the main things about Pathfinder is the convention that the hit dice are linked inseparably to BAB. Full base attacks always get d10, or d12. One of the biggest complaints around here is when anybody tries to go back to the old 3e thinking of separating them.

The spellblade is hardly infeasible.

By the rules, you can't have a two weapon fighting Magus that can still use the spell combat ability. These feats allow it, but with a proper feat debt for the build.

Using these feats, you managed to create a feasible 2 weapon fighting Magus. SWEET!!!!!

Yes it is live. And I was the 2nd backer. :D

I've combined these two orders for you. I did notice you have a bunch of preorders and was wondering if you would like those moved to your sidecart so they are automatically combined with a subscription shipment instead of shipping on their own. If you would like them moved to your sidecart, just let me know.

That would most likely be for the best. Got too excited that I could actually afford to order stuff, lol.

And this is why Paizo should relocate to Texas, Houston specifically. Pay no attention to those hurricane evacuation signs. Those are just for show for the tourists. Really.

I second this proposal!

I counter this proposal. I say they should move to Nashville, TN. No hurricanes. Just the occasional downtown tornado, or flood. Other than that, it's a great place. Also a major entertainment center, and not talking just country music.

Yes, please combine them. I placed the next order without even thinking about it needing to be combined for shipping.

It is amazing how easy it is to get that song stuck in your head. :)

To remember being a teen in the 80s. Now I sound like the guys bragging about the 60s, lol.

Glad to hear. Having the same stuck pending message, but that is what I though caused it. Will another order I just submitted get combined automatically with the previous one pending?

That looks like a collector's edition. Is there a cheaper regular edition?

That is the only edition. It is three books, updated to Pathfinder and smashing into one enormous volume. The cheaper edition is the PDF.

Which is why I bought the PDF. Kelsey, I know you prefer hard copy, but you can always find what you like in the PDF & print a copy of just that monster.

I can poke around with Steve and Lou about Fire As She Bears.

ooooohhhh..... Don't fire at She-Bears. They are awfully mean win pissed off. :P

The Tome of Horrors Complete: Unlimited Edition (PFRPG)

Monsters from the aberrant to the yellow musk zombie appear in this book, and everything in between—that’s over 700 monsters. But that’s not all; the appendices bring just as much to the table from templates to hazards to a treatise on poison variations in nearly 50 types of venomous snakes. There are also new feats, planes of existence, strange beings beyond mortal ken, and plenty of charts dividing the compiled monsters by CR, type, and terrain.

Maybe the non-IP-infringing miniature giant space hamsters and other less serious elements could be included in a web enhancement or "optional rules" section? That way more serious players don't have to include it as setting canon.

Easy work-around, which I normally don't suggest, is to simply create a space template. Add that & the existing giant template to the normal hamster. You would actually add the giant multiple times to get the required size category.

If you have them in a North American setting, I don't see a way to really avoid the "Native American" problems. The most likely version would be based off of the mountain lion/cougar. This cat is more closely related to domestic felines than to the big cats, which makes them perfect for the basis of catfolk. I would look up info on the cougar and try to imagine a society evolved from that. You could mix in a little bit from the Native American mountain tribes to flesh out the rest.

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Hamsters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anybody take a look?

Here is a great little company that is doing some great stuff. You should check out their site at Torn World. They have some beautiful maps, an adventure or two, and a Player's Guide (that will be coming out soon).

I was wondering. Could a Game Store have an account so that they could purchase Gift Certificates? I think a s store, to be able to be on par with the subscription model of giving a PDF with the purchase could include a $10 Certificate with each purchase.

I personally can't get enough of space-fantasy and this will be another one I must pursue.

Now I have to see how much plasma I can sell in a week. :P

I'm looking over at other student's plasma. I live behind frat houses, so I figure they get too drunk, I will just drag them to the blood bank. LOL. Blood might be a little thin, but they will just think they had a GOOD drunk the night before.

This is a link to the official Catfolk stats from Bestiary 3.

Catfolk

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't get to play often. In 1e/2e, I finally settled into playing half-elves. I played on Half-dragon in 3e. Mainly, though it has been humans. I like to play low level templated humans, also. I also wanted to play a 3.5e catfolk, or a Litorian from Arcana Evolved.

The way you are handling religion is a lot like Eberron. There are Evil clerics in the Church of the Silver Flame. They THINK they are doing good. The deities there are standoffish, too. The celestials & such are what handle any divine interactions, if at all.

Here's more info on gnomes.

That was one of the main articles i looked at about gnomes.

I really don't want them more fey either. If anything, I would prefer removing the fluff that keeps calling them fey. I am cool with them being more conservationist. They have been around long enough to discover that you can't just ignore nature. I really do find it funny how the mythology behind some of the races is WAY off of how they are used in game.

I guess this could be called a rant, but I really don't intend it to be. I just find it funny, frustrating, and nonsensical that many of the legends/mythology/fluff of many races fails to live up to the mechanics.

Two prime examples: Elves & Gnomes.

Elves
Myth: Can't complain too much here because elves of myth have so many varied powers & origins that anything is possible.

Fluff: The fluff of the elf seems to concentrate around fey origins. Why is it they have nothing fey-like to back this up? Nature loving? The gnomes are closer to what I would think an elf is supposed to be in RPGs. From the write ups, you would think that they elf would be the quintessential druids & rangers of the game. Fiction in D&D and Pathfinder seems to support that, but no mechanics.

Gnomes
Myth: The mythology for gnomes isn't really all that old. They are mainly form the Renaissance. Supposed to be mechanically inclined. No connection to the Fey. Sadly, they are the race that gets all of the Fey goodies.

Fluff: The fluff here says they are mechanically inclined. That said, they get saddled with many traits that are more appropriate for the fluff of Elves. The only time that a gnome has come close to myth is with the Tinker Gnomes. A little over the top, but a better representation of the myth. If I had to choose, I would want them tinker-like, along the lines of Salvatore's The Spearwielder's Tale series of books. As a matter of fact, I would like the elves to be more like the elves from these books, too.

Like I said, I really find this humorous. I am not screaming for, "Paizo to correct this oversight." LOL. I do hope that in some future incarnation of the game, that maybe we can, not so much as kill the sacred cows, but make fluff actually come closer to the myth, and the mechanics.

The plot thickens for my Anachronistic campaign ideas. :D

Not to sound ungrateful for this product, but when is the next one out? :P

GM rulings are non-negotiable. Unless you paid for the pizza, then we'll talk about it. :P

Veil of Truth by Eridanus Books seems to be stepping into Pathfinder SciFi. I won't be able to get this for a couple of weeks. If somebody gets this can you please let us know what you think?

I don't have any. This just came up at the last minute for a game I am running on short notice. I decided to do a Wild Wild West inspired adventure. I needed an Occult Investigator working for the Pinkertons. This is what I came up with using the products I linked to in the first post. I think it will work for an arcane Artemis Gordon type. The lower spell spell progression of the Hedge Wizard in SGG's product fits in nicely with the Rogue Investigator archetype. The spell progression is appropriately called the Dabbler progression. The game could be in something like using d20 Past's version of Department 7, which in the Old West I would put as a part of the Pinkerton Detective Agency.

Thanks. That was what I was thinking as well.

I am running a one shot tonight & I own The Genius Guide to Arcane Archetypes. Their archetype system is meant to be used with any class. It represents a quick fix for what I was looking for. I will admit I like it.

Using the The Genius Guide to Arcane Archetypes and the Investigator Archetype I made a neat alternate Rogue class that could be used for a modern setting, or a wild west like I am running.

Occult Investigator

Kind of neat what you can do with the 3pp products out there.

I am thinking of just using the Archaeologist archetype. Going for an Arcane Doc Holiday.

I am going to be running a Wild West Fantasy crossover adventure soon, as in New Year's Eve. I may not get what I want in time, but I wonder if anybody has done a Bard Gunfighter archetype?

You might want to take a look at this thread from a year or so ago.
RUINS & WASTELANDS: AFTER THE CATACLYSM P20 RPG
It is pretty much a Gamma World 4e conversion. That is the 4e version of Gamma World, NOT the D&D 4e board game.
