I’m GM for a group doing a home brew. I’ve got the dungeon layout finished but I need to fill it with some interesting monsters. The villain who they’re after is a Necromancer/Druid/mystic Theurge. 3/3/1. The players will face his animal companion (separate encounter), A skeletal champion with plant fibers for muscles, zombie dire wolf pups (powered by a fungus). I’d like 2-4 more encounters. Plants and low level undead that will be stylized to be plants controlling dead bodies. Any help would be much appreciated.

Ever since I started playing RPGs my favorite fantasy RPG character was Frog, from Chrono Trigger. Having recently acquired a Grippli boon, I'd like to recreate him for PFS play, this means he needs to be fully recognizable at low levels, and at higher levels (12+) I don't need to pay any attention as he'll likely be shelved.
Core concepts and abilities required:
Fighting with a large sword, it's appropriately sized for him but frog wields the legendary Masamune, a sentient sword with 2 intelligences trapped inside. It's particularly effective against mages.
Casting water Magic. Frog has access to spells that use water against the enemy.
Casting Healing magic: Frog cures his allies regularly.
Light/medium armor: Frog is a knight, but doesn't wear heavy armor. Usually he had a cape.
Hero's Medal: in game he earns a medal for his heoics, but in Pathfinder I just need a way of representing this, a neck slot item or chest slot that affects his abilities somehow.
Summoning a giant Frog to squash his enemies- don't know if that one's feasable

Btw did I mention I need to do this on a grippli, and not suck.

Thanks for the help in advance.
Sincerely,
Carl.

Lantern Lodge 5/5

A well respected member of my local gaming community and I disagree with how this ability works in PFS play. The issue revolves around how many points an arcanist begins a scenario with in play, maximum or starting daily value.
My thoughts: because the pool starts each day with a reset to a level that is not the maximum, begin with that, then consume spell slots to fill resovoir if you believe it is necessary.

His thoughts: similar to staves in pathfinder society you have the ability to fill the resovoir off camera

My counter argument: but it always costs you something to do so be it items or spell slots. So begin at daily allotment, then expend resources to fill if necessary.

Help me out here, please.

Also if this should go in the rules forums please move it there, but as it pertains only to how to treat this in organized play, I thought this was more appropriate.

Scarab Sages

Let me start by saying that this is an END GAME CONCEPT, obviously I don't wish to start a game and be a dragon going around with a party of heroes, and socially that could be awkward. I'm thinking more along the lines of stealing a dragon's body through methods similar to Magic Jar. But alas for me to make this plan into a reality I would need more system mastery than it appears that I have. In this state I turn to the message boards and ask very simply can it be done in PAIZO PRODUCED PRODUCT ONLY? I'm not talking about imitation of Dragons through Sorcerer Bloodlines, Dragon Disciple, or Bloodrager/Magus wonky builds.

I thought I found my first solution with the spell Embody, but it was a 3PP. Magic Jar seemed promising, but again it is a spell that would not allow me access to the breath weapon, or other special abilities even those associated with the exceptional body. So help me find a way.

Lantern Lodge

Just got back from Gencon this week and my wife started to ask me about how she could use this Sylph miniature that she has picked up. It has wings, and I know that Sylph characters can get those. Any way this would need to be a fairly simple character, what I mean by that is that it can have multiple tricks, but each thing it does needs to either give flat number bonuses or not be too reliant on combinations so that it is easier to track the abilities.

One thing that those wings will allow for is distance to be created in an open environment. This means that grounded opponents will not be able to engage her if she is flying above them. This makes ranged options preferable. Also air domain powers and spells benefit from her racial ability making those a strong option, sorcerer bloodlines and spells also look good based off of the same ability.

My first attempt, an Inquisitor of Sheyln, looks something like this
S-14; D-16; C-11; I-14; W-14; Ch-10
Traits: Fate's Favored, Insider Knowledge (knowledge local)
Alternate racial trait: Thunderous Resilience, Whispering Wind
1: Inquisitor: Point Blank shot; Air domain
2: Inquisitor:
3: Inquisitor: Precise Shot, Coordinated shot(bonus teamwork)
4: Inquisitor: Dex +1
5: Inquisitor: Rapid Shot
6: Inquisitor: Enfilading Fire (bonus teamwork)
7: Inquisitor: Airy Steps
8: Inquisitor: Dex+1
9: Inquisitor: Wings of Air; Target of Opportunity (bonus teamwork)
10: Inquisitor:
11: Inquisitor: Deadly Aim.

Shopping list:
Lucky Horseshoe/stone of good luck
Mithril Breastplate
Belt of Physical Perfection (Str/Dex)+2
Headband of inspired Wisdom +X
Ring of Protection
Bane Baldric

Please evaluate build with suggestions for improvements and how to play it, important items or other feat options. Or go a completely different direction, the only thing I really want to do is make use of those wings.

Thanks in advance

The Pathfinder Palooza is back with all new scenarios and the season 7 interactive special, The Sky Key Solution! Sky Key Solution has not been offered in Southern Illinois at all, so this is a rare opportunity to play it.

First: I've read the guide. It's great. Let me throw this out there this is a CORE campaign pfs character. Right now he is this:
Ranger 1/Sor 2
Str 17
Dex 13
Con 14
Int 10
Wis 10
Cha 14
Traits: Reactionary/ Magical knack (sorcerer)
Feats: improved initiative, iron will

My question is this: should I pursue 2 levels as ranger next? Or 2 levels as sorcerer?
I like access to better spells, especially buff spells, and it's only a few hit points and 1 bab difference with extra skills to go ranger.
Specifics:
Sor +1 bab, + 12 hp, 2 sor lvls of spells, bloodline advancement.
Ranger: +2 bab, + 14 hp, endurance, a style feat(point blank shot? Twf) and favored terrain bonus.

Remember core only, btw Half-Orc, race

Can I buy a second deck of sorcerer cards to add duplicate cards like spells blessings exc.?

Last fall I acquired 2 Ifrit boons at different cons, I just acquired an Oread boon at a con this weekend. I heard Undine's were in the middle, and that leaves Sylphs for this summer. I'd like to trade Ifrit for Undine, and I'd like it if someone who is hosting a con in Either June or July can use an extra GM, and perhaps has a couch? though that last part is optional.

PFS Character-
I want to make a Wizard, and have the Thassalonian Specialist Boon from *THAT* Scenario. I want to focus on spells that Transform this wizard (Beast Shape X, Elemental Body X, Form of The Dragon X) to make this character a seriously Viable melee wizard build. For late game I want to go Dimensional Dervish route (Yep Teleporting Dragon).

What I'm After:
1.)Simple tricks to make sure I include for maximizing AC and Melee attack and Damage in my alternate forms.
2.)Spell Choices that compliment this build
3.)Bond Advice
4.)Needed Magic Items/nice pickups beyond standard stuff.
5.)Things I may have missed.
6.)Analysis of specific Challenges that a build like this is likely to present.

Hey everyone, I really want to create a new wizard character and would like part of the character to focus on improved familiar (Faerie Dragon) but while I know this is legal having seen players do it, I do not know the specifics of how it is possible. Can someone enlighten me. Do I need a particular boon (from that scenario for THAT Faerie Dragon) or do I just need the feat and 7th level wizard, what source do I need to own for it. Thanks in advance, this seemed PFS specific because I can't find Faerie Dragons on the normal improved familar list nor on the expanded list in Ultimate Magic.

Like the title says, when creating a character how do you balance the two. I am having a little trouble with this concept. After years of Gamemastering my level of system mastery is pretty high, as such I make pretty solid judgments about my character choices as far as feats and such go. I do not have a problem with being a drain on party resources but frequently I take too much of the limelight. Often times I'll simply not speak if the party is in a social situation to allow others that opportunity to shine. The problem is that if I create characters with other heroes in the party in mind, I find that I am often completely unappreciated and have 0 opportunity to do something well. I mostly play PFS (Though frequently I simply GM it and I have played AP's and currently am GMing one) so the party dynamic is frequently changing. Am I crazy for wanting to A.) provide myself some opportunities to shine and B.) also allow others their camera time? Is this something others even consider? just throwing the topic out there for discussion.
Also if I do B. I worry about being a drain on party resources.

Liberty's Edge 5/5

The boon for Trial of the Beast, Carrion Crown Part II, Remnants of the Beast. Should this say cross off this boon after use? It's almost worthless (Heal 10hp 1 time or get a little extra damage/AC 1 time) if it's supposed to be crossed off after one use, However there is nothing stating that it should be crossed off after one use and I think that makes it extremely powerful. Almost Game Breaking (Maybe almost should be removed) Thoughts? Commments, Mike Brock....

I have a level 11 Wizard who has a suddenly available feat slot that lets say I didn't plan for. Here is the list of feats I currently have:
Acadamae Graduate, Augment Summoning, Combat Casting, Greater Spell Focus (Conjuration),
Minor Spell Expertise (Mage Armor) (2/day) (Sp), Opposition Research, Spell Focus (Conjuration), Still
Spell, Superior Summoning, Toughness

General thing he does is summon and he also sometimes binds outsiders. Any advice would be helpful here. I also will say that this is a PFS character, so Level 12 will be all he matters for, so I need a feat that helps now, not one that builds for something nicer down the road.

So I used the pathfinder system to make some copies of JLA guys and Avengers guys. Here are the builds in Stat Block Format, some are even Viable.... I want to tinker with Thor more, but I'm tired, and I can't seem to find a good Oracle Mystery for him. Anyway here's what I have and these are all (mostly) PFS legal may be 1 stretch per character. Also I have used Herolab and these are level 12 Stat blocks, so while interesting, they can be long.

magic of the wayfinder itself (see Seeker of Secrets page 51).

For a while, I have been looking at the Gunslinger class, as a way of representing a type of character from one of my favorite types of fantasy, The Wild West.
The Gunslinger has always lacked one CRITICAL element to the western style however, it lacks a survivable horse. Sure, it's cool to have a gun, and do shoot-outs, but a horse has always been essential to the Cowboys of western style and I wouldn't want a gunslinger without one. Without further Adu:

The Build:

Race: Half-Elf/Human, Stats: High Dex and Wis, Cha of 13.
Archetype: Musket Master or Mysterious Stranger, Leaning towards Musket Master.
lvl 1: feats Point Blank shot, skill focus (Knowledge Nature)
lvl 3: Eldritch Heritage Sylvan Bloodline, Rapid Reload (MM)
lvl 4: Bonus Feat (Precise Shot)
lvl 5: Boon Companion
Lvl 7: Mounted Combat
Lvl 8: Bonus Feat: Deadly Aim
Lvl 9: Mounted Archery
Lvl 11: Rapid shot
Skills: Keep maxed out on Handle Animal, and Ride, have some ranks in Craft Alchemy and fire-arms. Look for a trait to grant knowledge nature (There is a Faith one) and perhaps disable device (I didn't find one)

I'm not sure if I can take the sylvan Bloodline with Eldritch Heritage, that's the main rules concern. Beyond that I think everything else works...

Been Working on a concept for a few days now. Let me preface this by saying one simple true statement: I LOATHE Bards. That said I like the concept of a character who makes those around him better through inspiring tactics. The character I am currently working on is essentially attempting to be a FULLY MARTIAL party Buffer. Without Further Ado my dilemma:
I thought I would start of as a Strategist Cavalier, Order of the Dragon, Dex based with probably agile rapier in his main hand, I was debating TWF, and doing the old paladin trick of Smite(Challenge) to supplement damage, After level 5 however is where my path gets funky. I can stay as a Strategist Cavalier, or Multiclass into Steel Falcon for two levels and pickup the ONE bard ability that I Love, Inspire Courage. Then if I do that route I meet all prerequisites for Battle Herald, And level 7+ could be Battle Herald. The Strategist does a LOT of cool things in and of itself however and I could just play strait Strategist. Which do you think would work out better in the long run?

My Wizard just hit level 11 and I selected as one of his spells, Planar Binding. It references Lesser Planar Binding for its functionality with the difference that it can call 12 HD of Outsiders.

Spell Description:
School conjuration (calling) [see text]; Level sorcerer/wizard 5, summoner 4; Domain rune 5

CASTING
Casting Time 10 minutes
Components V, S

EFFECT
Range close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels); see text
Target one elemental or outsider with 6 HD or less
Duration instantaneous
Saving Throw Will negates; Spell Resistance no and yes; see text

DESCRIPTION
Casting this spell attempts a dangerous act: to lure a creature from another plane to a specifically prepared trap, which must lie within the spell's range. The called creature is held in the trap until it agrees to perform one service in return for its freedom.

To create the trap, you must use a magic circle spell, focused inward. The kind of creature to be bound must be known and stated. If you wish to call a specific individual, you must use that individual's proper name in casting the spell.

The target creature is allowed a Will saving throw. If the saving throw succeeds, the creature resists the spell. If the saving throw fails, the creature is immediately drawn to the trap (Spell Resistance does not keep it from being called). The creature can escape from the trap by successfully pitting its Spell Resistance against your caster level check, by dimensional travel, or with a successful Charisma check (DC 15 + 1/2 your caster level + your Charisma modifier). It can try each method once per day. If it breaks loose, it can flee or attack you. A dimensional anchor cast on the creature prevents its escape via dimensional travel. You can also employ a calling diagram (see magic circle against evil) to make the trap more secure.

If the creature does not break free of the trap, you can keep it bound for as long as you dare. You can attempt to compel the creature to perform a service by describing the service and perhaps offering some sort of reward. You make a Charisma check opposed by the creature's Charisma check. The check is assigned a bonus of +0 to +6 based on the nature of the service and the reward. If the creature wins the opposed check, it refuses service. New offers, bribes, and the like can be made or the old ones re-offered every 24 hours. This process can be repeated until the creature promises to serve, until it breaks free, or until you decide to get rid of it by means of some other spell. Impossible demands or unreasonable commands are never agreed to. If you ever roll a natural 1 on the Charisma check, the creature breaks free of the spell's effect and can escape or attack you.
Once the requested service is completed, the creature need only to inform you to be instantly sent back whence it came. The creature might later seek revenge. If you assign some open-ended task that the creature cannot complete through its own actions, the spell remains in effect for a maximum of 1 day per caster level, and the creature gains an immediate chance to break free (with the same chance to resist as when it was trapped). Note that a clever recipient can subvert some instructions.

When you use a calling spell to call an air, chaotic, earth, evil, fire, good, lawful, or water creature, it is a spell of that type.

My question is this: Can I set the task as "Carefully Restate Mission Briefing" This would mean that I would take notes on the mission briefing and be very careful to restate my instructions particularly. However when doing this I want to know what complications I should expect at my PFS table. GEN CON GM's- I'm planning on using this there.

Playing a Moms who wants to take both of these feats. My question is this Does the deflection from Crane Wing trigger the AoO from Snake Fang. I am hearing from a few people locally who believe that it does not due to the wording stating that "A deflected attack deals no damage" it does not say that the attack missed. Clarification desired.

Ok, so I am unclear on this and asked my VL, he said he didn't know either. I am playing a gunslinger, but I have a boon that allowed him to spend 6PA to get a gun of greater value than he could purchase with his current gold limit. He has 2000+ gold now, can I make it +1? or because the then total value of my gun would exceed my Item Limit do I need to wait to enchant the masterwork gun?

I'm told this is just the most awesome Magus Combination ever. Here's my problem:
Close Range (Ex)
Benefit: The magus can deliver ray spells that feature a ranged touch attack as melee touch spells. He can use a ranged touch attack spell that targets more than one creature (such as scorching ray), but he makes only one melee touch attack to deliver one of these ranged touch effects; additional ranged touch attacks from that spell are wasted and have no effect. These spells can be used with the spellstrike class feature.

School conjuration (creation) [cold, water]; Level druid 1, magus 1, sorcerer/wizard 1, summoner 1, witch 1

CASTING

Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S

EFFECT

Range close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Effect one ball of ice and snow
Duration instantaneous
Saving Throw Fortitude partial (see text); Spell Resistance no

DESCRIPTION

You conjure a ball of packed ice and snow that you can throw at a single target as a ranged touch attack. The snowball deals 1d6 points of cold damage per caster level (maximum 5d6) on a successful hit, and the target must make a successful Fortitude saving throw or be staggered for 1 round.

I'm going to be playing my next character for a long time. I am going to play a character who does not wish to kill people, but certainly he is not opposed to knocking the stuffing out of anyone who deserves it. Here are the feats I want I need some help in getting them fastest. beside each feat I will list a number (1-5) 1 being lowest priority and 5 being highest. Help me acquire the feats in the fastest way possible getting high priority feats at the earliest opportunity.

Improved Unarmed Strike (3)
Snake Style (1)
Snake Sidewind (1)
Snake Fang (5)
Sap Adept (4)
Sap Master (5)
Enforcer (3)
Weapon Focus (Unarmed Strike) (3)*
Dazzling Display (3)
Shatter Defenses (5)
Two Weapon Fighting (2)
Double Slice (1)
Weapon Finesse (5)*
Combat Expertise (1)
Improved Feint (1)
*This feat is available through a rogue talent.

The character concept is someone who scares his opponents in combat, and uses his superior martial prowess to leave them helpless against his onslaught. I'm planning on Offensive Defense rogue talent to gain big dodge bonuses against incoming attacks. I also plan on purchasing an Agile Amulet of Mighty Fists at my earliest opportunity. I am playing the character from level 1 on so this needs to have as few levels as possible endured before he begins to blossom.

Favorite Class to Play.
Thread Rules: 1 clear response, If you want to add do so. Also It would be appreciated if people would tally votes as I just want to see where the board community sits on current favorite classes in system.

My Vote: Wizard.
My Reason: It's always been fun for me to have an ever blossoming character. Every build seems to have that one level where the character just explodes, but with Wizard's it's almost always something new every other level, sometimes every level. They're versatile, and have many different ways through standard schools to customize.

Specifically is there one that deals with background of the characters in World Wound Gambit. I'm only in about chapter 4, and it seems that they all keep referencing a previous adventure. If I'm missing something then I'd like to read that first before I continue this novel. Thanks in advance.

In an upcoming reign of winter campaign our GM has stated that all characters should have some way of dealing with cold environments... Well duh it isn't called holy crap it's hot outside, but I digress.

I had a thought that whatever class I decided to play, if I played an Aasimar, I would at least have energy resistance cold 5. So my thoughts began thinking what do Aasimars do best, Cleric came to mind. I then thought about what type of cleric I would most like to play and remembered that I really enjoyed my PFS Conjuration wizard who summoned monsters, and I recalled my wife recently telling me about a feat for clerics allowing them to cast summon monster spells to summon celestial creatures as a standard action.

When looking at the build I thought the archetype of a Cloistered Cleric looked like fun because of all the access to knowledge, which is something that our party really lacks, but wondered about the diminished spell-casting. Also I looked really hard at the Animal Domain because of the Celestial Servant feat.

I hope that you can see where this is going and PLEASE do not tell me to "Just play a summoner" But if you have some advice on how you would flesh out this concept with mechanical benefit please post it.
I cannot see a way to get all the feats that I want before level 9, but I'm open to suggestions.

Desired Feats:
Celestial Servant
Boon Companion
Spell Focus (Conjuration)
Augment Summoning
Superior Summoning
Sacred Summons

My dilemma should be apparent very early in that I can only take one of these feats before level 4, if I go Cloistered Cleric because I will want to take Augment after getting a free Spell focus at level 4. After level 4 because of the diminished casing it is CRITICAL that I get Both Celestial Servant and Boon Companion at levels 5&7 which pushes Augment summoning to level 9 and Superior Summoning all the way back to level 11!

Any help would be appreciated, Thanks-Altus

Say I really want the Dodge feat at level three but have only a 12 dexterity score, can I leave the feat slot open, wait until level 4, to put my stat point into dexterity and then fill the open feat slot with dodge?

If a monk uses FoB, or any character uses two weapon fighting, does the penalty associated with it (-2 for TWF, Variable by level for Flurry of Blows) apply to attacks of opportunity made during the following round, my gut tells me yes but I can not find anything to support this.

Ok so my group is about to take on Reign of Winter campaign, My wife and I are in this group and we want a fairly well rounded party. She will be playing a Human Sorceror, of the Boreal bloodline, I myself was thinking of a Dwarven Inquisitor of Torag with the Protection Domain. We can comfortably assume a Vanilla Barbarian to be in our number also, my question is do these three seem like they would work well enough together to have bases covered, and what could I or my wife do to more widely cover our bases.

My GM for rise of the runelords has suggested that all of his players have a backup character ready to go, partially now because we have lost 4 characters in 4 of the 7 wings of this dungeon and he feels like there is a high probability of us losing a few more before we are done, yet we now have a potential supply of characters through a method that I won't divulge as it could provide spoilers to people playing rise of the runelords.
Problem: Party configuration leaves us having to fill the same roll that we were filling, because as of right now we are a precariously balanced party of 4. (Bard10/Paladin2/Pathfinder Chronicler2; Paladin 14(me); Ranger 14; and Alchemist 14. Because of this balance we have healing through Alchemist, Paladin and Bard +wands between combat. But if anyone goes down then we have a problem with having to replace with someone in our own role.

To my need for advice- I would like to play a druid should my paladin go down and was wanting advice on how to build a druid in such a way as to fill the roll of party tank/ healer in between fights. 14th level 150k gold. I was thinking that Wild shape is probably essential to this, and to that end I was considering an Elf to use the favored bonus for extra natural AC while wild shaped, to get the AC to typical paladin levels. Thoughts and opinions would be appreciated.

Ok, so I have this idea in mind for a PFS Cowboy-esque character.

Elements of a Cowboy:
Animal Husbandry, Roping expertise, pistol marksmanship <Both from the saddle and on foot.>
I'm excited about the build and have some questions.

Foremost on my mind is the question of tying off a rope to the saddle and lassoing an enemy as my horse rides by..... I know what I want to happen, and I understand what would likely happen should this feat be accomplished, as I see it dude gets dragged along behind the horse, what I don't know is how Pathfinder rules represent the situation.

Secondly, is it too much to ask of my GM to have him describe the setting of a scenario before I go into it? I'm not saying this character would actively avoid any situation, but a lot of scenarios don't lend themselves to horsemanship, but with the gunslinger levels, I can probably handle myself in any situation. Just want some thoughts.

I received a boon at a con yesterday, it allows for the spending of 6PA for a reward of a single item worth 3500g. It also allows 4pa for 2000, and 1000 for 2pa.

Just wanted some opinions of good options for lets say a level 2 character with 6 PA to burn.

At Gencon, I was told that I should hold off on creating my goblin character until a revision of the Additional resources page would declare what goblin character options would become available from Goblins of Golarion and the Advanced Race Guide sometime in September. I was wondering if these are still under review, or if there was an update on the way.

But I would like constructive criticism on it
The Temple of the Maharaja

Two Pathfinder spies in Niswan have submitted some disturbing reports recently.
First each spy reports that the Aspis Consortium has uncovered a well preserved ancient
temple erected by Maharaja Khiben-Sald nearly 2000 years ago. Secondly , each of the
pathfinder spies accused the other of being a double agent for the Consortium.
Act 1: Investigation:
Pathfinders search the homes of the two spies, uncover which is the double agent,
and learn the location of the Maharaja's temple. Within the first home the players find
Mae Jald, laying dead on the floor. A DC 15 heal check can determine she has been dead
for less than a day, killed by poisoning. <Encounter Tier 1-2: Venomous Snake; Tier 3-
4: 3x Venomous Snake; Tier 6-7: Advanced Giant Venomous Snake x 2> PC's in this
house find a hidden (DC 12 perception) scroll case sticking out of her desk slightly.
Inside are communications between Mae Jald and a local Consortium Researcher named
Vorel. These communications lead players to a false temple (see Act 2).
In the house of Torin Balek, PC's find nothing of note, it has been cleared out as if
by someone in a hurry. Also it has communications with Vorel that seem angry and
argue over who should claim the Temple they discovered together. The house is being
watched by the Wizard Vorel. Alerted by an alarm spell on the house he drinks his
potion of invisibility and casts Summon Monster <1, 2, or 4> from his wand <5
charges>. Vorel is not in this fight to the death, and if he cannot defeat the pc's with his
wand he walks away while invisible. If he can defeat the PC's he will interrogate them.
If Vorel takes any hit points of damage he will surrender. Vorel believes Torin's intent is
to turn the Temple over to the Consortium and take all the credit. Vorel may be
convinced to join the pathfinder society with a dc 25 diplomacy check, the DC is reduced
by 5 if they promise him recognition as discoverer.

ACT 2- THE CHASE
After the investigation at the two houses PC's are likely to go searching for the
uncovered temple, if they follow the map in the home of Mae Jald, they wind up walking
onto the grounds of the famed Monastery of the Stone Fist. PC's will be ambused by the
Monks there who will attempt to disarm them, and will not attempt to do lethal damage,
but only disarm and grapple. They will notice the same earthen statues inside the
monastery that are all around the city of Niswan. presenting another opportunity for
Osirion PC's to note the composition of the statues. While talking with the leader of the
monastery, if PC's mention that the Temple of Maharaja Khiben-Sald is about to be
entered, the monk will grow wide eyed and claim that this is impossible. At that point, or
when the conversation of "Why are you here?" otherwise grows stale the statues will
begin to animate (Earth elementals) The monk will hand ask the PC's if they have
anything to do with this and explain that ancient legends say that the statues can be

controlled from the Temple of Earth. He gives directions to it's true entrance and
explains that these statues are meant to defend Niswan and the monastery in times of
great need. He will ask the PC's to go and get the intruder out of the temple while he and
his monks attempt to protect the citizens of the city.

ACT 3- AT THE TEMPLE
The entrance to the temple is guarded by Earth Elementals (tier appropriate) and
the PC's must defeat them in order to gain entrance into the temple. Inside the temple is a
large room with an altar at the front. The building itself is little more than a rocky hill
from the outside with what appears to be a cave as an entrance, but inside it is clearly a
marvel of stonework, as the stone appears to be a church complete with pews and isles
crafted of naturally growing rock formations. At the front of the Church is Torvin with
some scrolls spread across a jade altar. His concentration appears disrupted as the PC's
enter the room and his guard dog barks to alert him. He drops a Jade figurine onto the
ground which turns into an Earth Elemental and sets his dog to attacking the PC's.

Hi, I will soon be creating a new character, and would like to employ the efforts of a skilled artist. My need is for four things. First and foremost I would like a talented artist to draw the characters, both mine and my wife's, as we will mostly be playing these two together. Secondly I may need modded miniatures suiting the characters and that part may be difficult. If you are a talented artist who might be interested please let me know so that I may discuss with you a reasonable fee for your time and efforts. Thank you.

Ok so here it goes, Write a Goblin Song, either 4 or 8 lines long. These are inspiring, Here is my first one:

Head and shoulders knees and Toes (Knees and Toes)
Head and Shoulders Knees and Toes (Knees and Toes)
Cut Them off and in the pot they go
Head and Shoulders Knees and Toes (Kness and Toes)

Ok, I've been on this for a few days now, and I am pretty impatient about the whole thing, so it's time for some feedback. No player gets more than one Goblin, so it's important to do that one right. I have some ideas and want feedback.

1.) Just because Goblins do not have a written language does not mean that they disrespect their history. Goblin Bards store the history of their tribe in the "Goblin Songs" that we all love so much. This makes the Goblin Bard an especially interesting character to me, but as I work out the character's specifics, it doesn't seem to mesh well mechanically. (Help appreciated, I don't know much about Bards, less than I probably should as a 3 star GM, Also this is incentive to play one.)

2.) Much is made about a Goblins being particularly adept at riding animals, possibly the best riders in Pathfinder with their dex and race bonus to the skill. Goblin Cavalier riding a wolf (refusing the size increase in favor of a medium mount at level 7). If I were to play this I would want to focus on the Tactician ability and grant my allies teamwork feats, Thus the Goblin General.

3.) Perhaps the best role for a Goblin is trapfinder/sneaky damage dealer, well suited to stealth with their size and darkvision Goblins could make excellent rogues or Urban Rangers in this regard.

4.) Best for last, Goblins love explosions, this makes them ideal for Gunslingers and Alchemists, Loud, and proud I believe these goblins to be among the most comical of Goblin heroes.

Of the four above categories I see Bards as being the most likely to join PFS, but under what circumstance would a Tribal history keeper leave his tribe to join with the Pathfinders? On the other hand an Alchemist whose formula book was discovered would have many reasons to flee his tribe. Personally if a goblin dog was an available mount, I would be very tempted by the Cavalier, but as it stands this option is not open for play.

So I ask the other Goblin's of PFS, What are you leaning towards (With the knowledge that some of the ARG and Goblins of Golarion are currently under review until September.)

Hi,
I am a pathfinder Society Player/GM. Recently while being a GM at a convention I was awarded a boon to play an Aasamir in Society play. I was thinking that I would play an Oracle in order to play up the holy angle really seriously.

I am going to imitate Sarenrae as closely as I can and attempt to achieve a scimitar wielder with lots of flame damage magic (Oracle of Flame).

Feats will tend towards the wings and dealing damage as best I can, can anyone help me with this?

I just want to know what people think are some of the coolest. Dwarven Stonelords look like something I definitely want to try. Weigh in please.

Just bought a Kindle fire, of course I put my pdf library of Pathfinder books on it, but I was wondering are there any other apps which you gamers find helpful for the device? Point me to them please!

1: Cross blooded Sorcerer takes two bloodlines that each say a spell gets +1 damage per damage die of spell, does this mean those get +2, or would stacking this qualify as two bonuses of the same type?
2: If that same Sorcerer became a Mystic Theurge and casts Flame-Strike would the damage bonus apply because he is still casting a spell that does fire damage, or not because it is not a sorcerer spell.

Orc Blooded: You gain the orc subtype, including darkvision 60 feet and light sensitivity. If you already have darkvision, its range increases to 90 feet. Whenever you cast a spell that deals damage, that spell deals +1 point of damage per die rolled.
Dragon Blooded: Whenever you cast a spell with an energy descriptor that matches your draconic bloodline's energy type, that spell deals +1 point of damage per die rolled.

Thanks in advance.
