This is looking bizarrely awesome or awesomely bizarre - actually probably both.
181. Cloud flux-When the spell hits the area of an already present magical cloud spell (fog cloud, acid fog, cloudkill, stinking cloud, solid fog, or other similar spells) to tranform into a more dangerous form: CL of the original fog or cloud effect is 1-5, solid fog; CL 6-10 stinking cloud; CL 11-15 cloudkill; CL 16-20 acid fog
180. Armour reconfiguration-All attacks made against one designated ally automatically fail fail for 1 round/CL. Special abilities, spells and other effects from an enemy cannot affect the target of this spell.
179. Inhibiting burst-Multiple target creatures (all must be within 30ft of at least one other affected by this spell) lose the ability to attack for 1 round/CL. The target cannot make any sort of attack against anything while this spell is in effect.
178. Disabling burst: You hit a target with a ranged touch attack. The energy from the attack deals 1/2CLd6 points of damage to the target and produces an additional effect for 2 rounds/CL. Roll a d10: 1-2 Target loses the use of all senses: the target is blinded, deafened, loses blindsight, blindsense, scent, tremorsense, darkvision and any other sensory abilities; 3-4 Target cannot make any attacks using weapons, spells, special abilities or any other method; 5-6 Targets AC bonuses from all sources drop to 0; 7-8 All of the targets speeds drop to 0-if the target was flying it falls; if the target was swimming it begins to fall under the water; 9-10 The target loses an additional 1/4CLd6 hp each turn the effect lasts.
176. Materials extraction. You hit an object with a ray attack, converting the object into a number of coins equal to 1/2 of the value of the object. The spell will produce pp first, followed by gp if it doesn't work out to a whole number of pp, then sp if it has a fractional gp leftover value, etc. (Optional rule-not sure if I want to use this or not: This does not affect the magic in magic items, only the value of the materials involved in the construction of the magic items is converted)
175. Recharge: An ally who has spent spells, spell-like abilities or supernatural abilities with a limited number or uses per day regains a number of uses for one given spell level or ability equal to 1/2 your caster up to maximum number of uses equal to their normal maximum per day.
173. Spell Assimilation Beam: If the beam hits a target with prepared spells, available spell slots or a spell like ability or supernatural ability the caster gains one of those abilities chosen at random: if spells, the caster gains the ability to cast one specific spell per caster level (max level of spell equal to highest level spell caster can cast); if the spell absorbs a spell-like or supernatural ability the caster can use the spell-like ability as many times as the possessor of the ability can in a day. The target is held immobile for one round while the spell or ability is absorbed but can still attack. If a spell is absorbed the caster can later learn it to scribe into a spellbook or as a new spell known, assuming the spell in question is suitable (can't be from an opposition school-note: arcane casters can learn divine spells this way and divine casters can learn arcane spells this way) The target does not lose any uses of the associated spell or ability.

Also some CR 12+ monsters that AREN'T extraplanar or dragons, if you have any floating around. This is a biggie for me, as I'm currently running a L10-20 game by request and can only do "giants with class levels" so many times...

Quick question (possibly sort of a threadjack, but what the heck)
In the back of the various Pathfinder Adventure Path Books there new monsters. What are the names of each issues monsters detailed at the back? One issue had a new type of dragon someone mentioned earlier in this thread, I think. any info here would be of interest.

There is a lot of spin and analysis going on right now to try and figure this all out and quite frankly, historians and economists will be debating about this for years or even decades (since there is still argument regarding the Great Depression which is now about 80 years in the past) These debates will have some sort of value and it is good to have them now when things are still able to be influenced but ultimately we'll see what happens after some time has passed, so we'll just need to be careful about apparently overly certain predictions. Hopefully, whatever course is taken, we (the entire western world) will take steps to continue to allow markets to work but also potentially cap the ability of certain individuals and groups to distort them in ways that are great short term, but ultimately disastrous. I don't know exactly where the balance lies but with plenty of creative minds we'll muddle our way to the best we can do.

JRM wrote: Referring back to dinosaurs and other prehistoric beasts, my votes are for:
Please keep clear of having lots of different genera of similar dinosaurs whose stats only differ slightly, instead just have 'types' of dinosaurs with a stat-block for each size - e.g. Megalosaurus, Allosaurus & Ceratosaurus might as well all be "Large Carnosaur", with maybe a note that Allosaurus may grow large enough to have a couple more HD than Megalosaurus.
I'd prefer to us popular names for these types even if they may not be scientifically accurate, just for ease of recognition, plus having a descriptive name for those who think that using modern taxonomy strains suspension of disbelief* - e.g. the type Apatosaurus (Thunder Lizard) could cover stats for all sauropods and prosauropod, from Medium to Colossal. Everyone knows what a Brontosaurus looks like, even though we're supposed to call them Apatosaurus. Most of the descriptive names can easily follow the English meaning of their taxonomic names.
I'd include lesser sizes to represent small species of dinosaurs or the young of large ones.
Types could include:
Carnosaur (The Butcher?) - Allosaurus and other generic meat-eaters.
Tyrannosaur (Tyrant King) - Albertosaurus, Nanotyrannus, the big T itself).
Apatosaur (Thunder Lizard) as above.
Velociraptor (Terror Claw) - combines the most commonly recognized name (post Jurassic Park) and the rough meaning of 'Deinonychus'. From Tiny (Microraptor[/i]) to Large (Utahraptor).
Stegosaur (Spike Tail)
Ankylosaur (Shield Back?)
Ornithomimus (Ostrich Lizard?)
Triceratops (Horn Face) - for all your Ceratopsian needs.
Therizinosaurus (Scythe Claw) - should the same stats be used for both the (probably herbivorous) Therizinosaurus and the various weird carnivores with big hand-claws, like Megaraptor and Baryonyx?

This is an idea that I appreciate and I have some ideas for one domain in particular: the Mind Domain, but the 1st and 8th level abilities are leaving me a bit stumped.
1st
2nd Comprehend languages 1/day per 2 caster levels
4th Detect Thoughts 1/day
8th Something based on discern lies although I'm not quite sure what
12th Probe Thoughts 1/day (most of the non PH domains actually use the old 6th level spell for this level)
16th Brain Spider 1/day
20th Mind Blank 1/day or Weird 1/day (Mind Blank is the old 8th level spell but it is an interesting one so Weird would probably fit better but it is tempting to use Mind Blank instead...)
Any assistance on the 1st and 8th level ones are appreciated

Incidentally, for some reason I've always been glad they never switched out names on these things, being as velociraptors were the ones the size of medium-small dogs and the deininychuses were bigger and pack hunters.
Then again, it's pretty clear the 3E deinonychuses are the movie raptors because they're Large and all. As far as I remember, the real deinonychus was about the size of a wolf, plus tail.
The movie "velociraptors" were real-world deinonychus. They used the velociraptor's name for them, because it sounded cooler. The velociraptor is a smaller cousin of the deinonychus; maybe like a housecat to a tiger. The movie Jurassic Park raptor were the real world utahraptors: first discovered while the movie was in production. Deinonychus was 10 ft long (including the tail, which was about half of its length) and stood maybe 3 1/2, 4 ft tall at the head. Utahraptor meanwhile 20 ft long including the tail, 6-7 ft to the top of its head.

All 4 come in small, medium and large, and all 4 have the same challenge rating. So why keep the fire, earth and air creatures and axe the water? Makes no sence.
Ditch Tojanida and replace it with the Water Weird, the original part of 'the set.' 'Cause the original was way better than the three-armed magnetohydrodynamic mini-Gamera.
Some of the 3.0 monsters felt like they were thrown in because someone realized, 'Hey, we need a monster with a Sonic attack!' and somebody else said, 'Siren? Some Harpy variant? Banshee? Doombat? That Dune Stalker thing from Fiend Folio?' and got shouted down by a crazy person who said, 'No! Like a Wyvern with a unicorn horn that shoots a sonic lance, only with an unpronounceable name!' Then someone else said, 'Well, we did need more monsters to pad out the letter 'Y...''
One other thing: why was the salamander (the fire part of the set) evil while all the others are neutral? Make salamanders neutral please.
CharlieRock wrote: abominable snowman Yeti or Sasquatch would be neat to see (giant type maybe)
Add my voice to the yes to oriental dragons crowd. Also with various creatures be careful about size categories. Medium size is 4-8 ft tall (if tall) or 4-8 ft nose to BASE of tail (if long) In a few cases with dinosaurs in the MM the tail was included when calculating size category (velociraptor is small, deinonychus medium, megaraptor large) A minor quibble I know but one that just drives me a bit nuts.
It would be interesting to see but I somehow doubt that it would be allowed, at least in the near term.

It was more to give a brief nod to all those who had their birthday on this day, since choosing one seems arbitrary but fine I'll let it go. Still, there are a great many people both famous and not who celebrated a birthday each and every day and many deserve recognition. But I will leave it to Daigle to do as he sees fit.
My hometown, Thornhill, Ontario, Canada is also the hometown of two of the artists of the group of seven, a group of well known Canadian painters from the 1920s. It also is home to the Shouldice Hernia Centre.
Edit: Also the hometown of Hayden Christensen (Anakin from Star Wars 2 and 3) and a film (Dawn of the Dead, I think) was partially filmed here.
