playing with new players (in japanese)

Hi there.
Thank you for answering my previous questions.
It helped me a lot.
Today, I have 3 questions.

All our player's level is 4 and it will be 5 for next play.

1) To expand critical hit range

My wizard player asked me whether they can "expand" weapon's critical hit range by using some spell or item, or not.

I couldn't answer that question immediately. Is it possible? if yes, what?

2) About "True strike" spell

This spell says "Targets: you". I totally can't understand how to use this spell usefully. Please explain how to use this spell usefully.

3) About making scenarios

In Japan, it is very difficult for us to use paizo's original(official) scenarios book (for example, we have to use amazon.co.jp to import these books ). This means that we have to make our original scenarios.

I have finished our 4 games. However all games were only...

a) party was asked to go to ***'s (i.e. goblin) cave
b) go there
c) explore there
d) decimate their boss
e) FIN

that's all.

Our player says that he/she wants to play another type game.
In Japan, it is not common to play "dungeon type" game. we love to play "character's roman scenarios" , "city adventure" or "mystery type" (i.e. searching murders) game.

Is it possible to play these type games by using this game's rule?
If yes, please give me some clues.

Sorry for my poor English skills and your answers will be appreciated!

As you know, it is very difficult for me to understand paizo's original scenarios because of my poor English level :).

Hello Yuki!

1. You can use the spell Keen Edge to do this.

2. "Targets: you" means you can only cast it on yourself, no on others.
The spellcaster casts this spell and get´s +20 on his next attack action, which should make it a sure hit.

3. Simple scenarios look like this, but get boring fast.
Of course you can have a lot of other scenarios, this depends on you. Everything is possible. Best scenarios have a bit of everything.
You can use skills to handle a lot of situations. Like diplomacy, perception etc. This also depends on the creativity of your players and yourself.

4. With a credit card you can buy a pdf file of nearly everything o the paizo site. I´m sure Japan is not lacking of devices to view pdf files comfortably. Also it is much easier to enter english sentences from the pdf files into translators.

Just go on reading english, your language skill will improve greatly!

Ganbaru!

1) The Keen weapon special ability or Keen Edge (3rd level sorcerer/wizard spell) should do the trick.

2) It targets "you" because it affects you, and no one else. It allows you to take a +20 bonus on the next attack you roll within the duration of the spell.

3) I can't much help you here, but I think those styles should be possible. As for the Adventure Paths, you can get them as PDFs right here on Paizo's web shop if you are interested. You can download them instantly and they are a lot cheaper than the physical books as well.

I'm sorry I could only really answer your two first questions, but I hope it's helpful anyway.

EDIT: Aww, ninja'ed.

yuki_sc: I think your group might have fun with the Kingmaker adventure path.

It's very different from regular "dungeon crawling". Your group is sent to explore a place called the Stolen Lands. Almost all adventuring in the first and second books happens above ground, in forests and fields and wilderness.
