Set Dressing:

The meeting is taking place inside a private room in the back of a Club. The Club is just on the border of the Barrens. The Mr. Johnson is sitting before you. To either side facing toward the middle, which is where a basic clear plasteel table sits, are two couches large enough to seat everyone comfortably.

Mr. Johnson's Appearance:

She is a Human Woman around the age of 30 with short hair and glasses that block a clear view of her eyes. She is wearing a business suit without a Jacket clearly revealing her concealed holster and the Ares Predator it contains. Her coat is most likely the black trench coat hanging on the coat rack near the door.
Think Baroness from G.I. Joe: Renegades.

Job Background:

A fairly trustworthy Fixer associate of yours called you up and pointed you towards the job saying only that it would be a simple job with a large reward.

Mr. Johnson: "Welcome please have a seat. I am sure you are aware of the type of job you have been called for?"

As you walk into the meeting room you see a kindly looking older man in a well made business suit standing before you. The room is a posh library/study of a house in a very high end part of town. It is filled with old styled but highly comfortable chairs all of which could easily fit a large Ork though there are a few that are large enough for a Troll and still have room for at least a dwarf to sit next to them. Once you are all seated a woman comes and takes your request for food and drink and then he speaks up.

"Welcome to my humble abode. I am sure you are wondering why I called you all here. Well to start with you may call me Mister Fixer. I am a go between for runner, like yourself, and high end clients. I was requested to put together a new team for a very, very important client and you all have been chosen for that team. Any questions?"

All 5th Edition Game Discussion and Character Generation can go here.


All 4th Edition Game Discussion and Character Generation can go here.


I am planning to run a Shadowrun Campaign starting in about a Month or two based on the number of applicants and my free time.
As it stands the first thing I need is which edition everyone interested would prefer.

4th Edition:

20th Anniversary Core Rulebook
Arsenal
Augmentation
Runner’s Companion
Street Magic
Unwired

5th Edition:

5th Edition Core Rulebook
4E Content upon review. Subsystems are more likely to be admitted. NOTE: Most content will be taken as is.

Mainly all I want right now is what you want from a Campaign & what type of character you would look to play.

NOTE: If I get enough Applicants I might even consider running a 4E & 5E Campaign simultaneously. I will also allow Re-skinning of things as well.

EDIT: I should note that when it comes to 4E I might need a bit more player help with some things as the Matrix and some of the items seem odd to me.

EDIT: forgot to mention that I will be accepting 4-6 Characters. 6 if only one campaign or 4 per each if I do 2 Campaigns.


Campaign Handbook.

This is a Campaign I have been working on for a little bit now. I am having problems though and would love to have some community input and feedback though.

The Skydrive file will be updated accordingly. It will also contain some basic Campaign stuff like Base NPCs and Key Character information over time. I am planning this for the date set in the file.

Please and Thank You.


8 people marked this as FAQ candidate. Staff response: no reply required.

"Does a Fighter(Archer Archetype) using Trick Shot to perform a Combat Maneuver use DEX or STR for the roll?"

Most believe it to be DEX, especially after the Weapon Finesse FAQ. (My Take.)
Some think it is STR only.

Wondering if there is any Dev Clarification or if it needs F.A.Q.'d to get it clarified or what?


Roleplay Market Campaign Board.

I am having this thread as both the Paizo Board Recruitment and Discussion for this Game. All Gameplay and The Main Discussion are going to be on Roleplay Market. This Allows me to create a new thread for Each Story and a Folder for each Chronicle.

There will be a Prequel Game that you can get in on. It will be using the Archetypes from the Book.

NOTE: You will need to look through the Archetypes to ensure they are correct. (E.G.: The Noble needs to have Ward made into a Drawback or Dropped to be used.)

For Recruiting Players and Discussion on the Paizo Boards.

Roleplay Market Campaign Board.

The Roleplay Market Site is better for this style of Campaign. It will mainly be how the Colosseum held Gladiatorial Matches.

Each Fight will have its own thread. This means you won't have to worry about down time and can jump straight in on the combat.

Leveling up and Reputation will be handled by me.

You are in the middle of a Game & the GM's Brother walks-in and throws one of those large 2-3 Gallon Jugs of Water, the kind used in the Cliche Office Water Coolers, onto the table.

Running everything short of the Rulebooks that were on a separate table & the Flip-Mat. Broke the Miniatures, ruined all the Papers we had, and broke the table. Then starts yelling at her and pushing her into the wall.

All over his sister, the GM, taking some of the snacks, which she bought, to the game. Note: The game was at one of the player's houses.

What I done: I took him down and held him in a Head-Lock until the Police Arrived.

Resolution:

Brother: Going to jail for Assault and Vandalism/Destruction of Private Property. Reimbursement for the Damaged Property.
Sister: 3 Stitches and a few bruises.
Me: A sore shoulder from holding him there for 30 Minutes while the police were in route. I also had to wait an Hour for them to decide whether I acted in Self-Defense or not.


As you are around the Northgate entering Sandpoint whether you are just arriving or have been there for a time you are called to meet the Sheriff of the town.

Sheriff Belor Hemlock: A Shoanti Man of Average Build stands before you. His armor still looking new. His Greatsword is the Opposite."I haven't had the time to introduce myself to you all with the exception of Lady Trill."As he says the name he bows and smiles at the Halfling Woman standing with your small group."I have called you all to offer you a task. We need some insiders in the crowd just in case something goes wrong. Our guards are going to be stretched thin as is. Will you aid us as Deputy Guards? It will be worthwhile."

I literally was looking for an image to inspire some Greatsword Wielding Characters.

I found a few like this & this which are fairly realistic.

BUT!

A majority were like this, this, this, this, & this.

Can anyone give me a reason why? Is it just the Cloud and Guts wannabes? And which do you prefer your character to wield?

I guess mine is simple. I like the Realistic ones.

yes I know the first 2 examples of the oversized ones are referenced. I just posted the first 4-6 entries of the google search. The 2-4 examples of realistic ones I found on characters where literally on the 4th, 5th, 7th, and 11th pages of my search.


Discussion for Run #1.

I need you guys to figure out why you are in the group at the Northgate.


I am currently planning a Rise of the Runelords PbP Campaign.

I am planning on having a group of 4-6 but I will work with fewer if I have to.

Homerules Handbook.

Any questions that I feel deserve it will get their answers added to the Handbook.

I also allow quite a bit of Homebrewing as long as it gets run by me first.

NOTE: This will be my first Paizo Adventure Path that I have ran so it might be a bit rough until I get the hang of the AP.

Character Submission List.

No Requests for Deity Stat Blocks Please.

Explanation:

Now you notice I call out that No Deity Stat Block Requests. What I am thinking for this is IF they decided to make this type of book:

The information would be just like the Table in the CRB's Cleric Chapter. Though expanded to include Sub-Domains & Inquisitions.

What would you like to see in such a book?

Such as:
How would you like it to be arranged?
What Pantheons would you want detailed?
Archetype, Prc, Feats, Items, Etc ideas?

NOTE: This is also to get a measure of the amount of interest the Book might have.

I personally would like to see:

Chapter 1: Golarion Deities. Including the Racial Deities and such.
Chapters 2-X: Various Real World Pantheons as they would appear in a Pathfinder Gaming World.
Chapter X+1: Guidelines for Homebrewing your own Pantheon.
Chapter X+2: Various PrCs, Archetypes, etc that connect to the deities.

Hellenistic(Greco-Roman), Nordic, and Japanese Pantheons covered.

A Templar Archetype or PrC. Like a Templar Archetype for Fighters or such. Maybe an Archetype that gives Fighters a 4-Level Spell Progression or such. Similar to the Ranger or Paladin but with Arcane Spells maybe limited to Followers of Odin or Deities with the Magic Domain.


The Title is pretty self-explanatory... Though this is for both the Players and GMs.

My personal favorite are Roman, Gaelic, & Nordic Cultures. Mainly do to their Unique and Diverse Cultures.

What are yours? Why are they your favorite?

This thread got me to thinking...

I personally have them track based on Weight not the actual space the Object takes up. After all the Backpacks space might only hold 30 Cubic Feet but the outside could hold anything, but the Material can only withstand a certain amount force before breaking.

So if it can carry 60 Pounds then the overall weight that can be carried using that container is 60 Pounds.

Do you guys enforce Containers and Weight Carried? Do you have them track Coins & Coin Weight?


I am phttp://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/ultimateMagic/ultimateMagicWordsOfPower .htmllanning on making a fairly Low-Magic Setting. I am looking at variant rules to increase the feel.

So far I am thinking:
-Vigor & Wound Points.
-Armour as DR.
-Words Of Power.
-Piecemeal Armour.
-A Modified Version of 3.5's Class Defense Bonus.
-Modular Spell Slots[link unavailable]

Anyone have other ideas? Anyone Know how this might work with Called Shots added in?


Akademae Dea Hareos Guide.

Wikia Page.

The Wikia will contain full changes after a while. & is an Open Wiki for anyone willing to help out.

The entire Introduction will be posted in the Campaign Info Tab.

Ask any questions you need.


For Combat Actions:

Masked Participant you are up


You awaken in a Massive Shrine in a circle around a Massive Dragon Statue cradling a Halfling Woman in the middle of a Fountain. You find you can't access your spells nor can you draw any weapons.

In front of the Fountain you see the Master of the Games. As he stands his face changes from a Stag-Headed God to that of a Snake-Headed God.

Welcome to the Arena. Sorry for hiding my true face until now.

But I figure you will understand why I kept the fact that I am a Trickster God hidden.

Enjoy the battle. I will be unlocking your buffing abilities now. Once everyone is ready I will completely unlock your abilities for combat.

Let the sacri... errr...

Let the slaugh... umm...

I am starting my own Wiki for Adventurers' Guild Gaming's Settings Core Rules.

Also what are the restrictions on Putting what little of Pathfinder's Content I need for the Core Rules?

Basically, no fluff other than what is on the PRD/d20pfsrd will even remotely be included. I am basically just wanting a basic quick reference for my Players to go.

I wouldn't even think of needing a Wikia if it wasn't for I could basically make PFRPG 2e with my houserules.

The Wiki will eventually expand to contain all AG2's Setting Fluff and Content.

P.S.: Feel free to join in and help out. AG2 is for Gamers, by Gamers.


Please Evaluate And Critique Honestly.

Academie Campaign Guide.

It is going to be a very open sandbox campaign setting. I am a very Players, especially Martial Players, should get shiny things style GM.

Any things that I missed or any thoughts on making it better?

CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM ONLY PLEASE


Character Paths.

I am unsure of which path would be better...

& I also am unsure of what other feats to take or what order to take them.

We are starting at Level 7.

I normally go from Level 1 and play them up. Rarely I will jump from Levels 2, 3, or 4. I am unsure of what to take...

I know we are going to need Survivability.

Would it be better to go Switch Hitter? If I do go Switcher what would be a nice way to go about it?

Maybe I should play an Oracle, Paladin, Sorcerer, or Rogue...


13th Company:ToC

The Characters are based on Thorin & Company as you will see by reading the names in parenthesis on the page.

NOTE: These are not meant to be faithful conversions merely Inspired by the group. Think of them as Parodies and/or Homages if you would like.

I will be updating them later on with a Background for them and eventually will link to their own personal ToC that list them from level 1 to 20 and will hopefully have a layout for each of them to go onto the Guide to the Builds thread.

Right now I am basing it purely on the links on this page combined with making them an entirely Self-Sufficient Group.

Build is using 25 Point Buy & all Paizo Sourced Content on the d20pfsrd.

Any Recommendations?


Homebrewed Well-Prepared Feat.

Strange that this is the first thing I have posted up here that hasn't been through my rigorous Playtesting.

Rip into it!


Ok this thread got me to thinking:

If people already have the full +5 static enhancement, what are their favorite Properties they enjoy adding?

Mine are Impact, Shocking/Shocking Burst, & Thundering.

Now these aren't all on the same weapon. Well at least unless I can fit them all onto a nice weapon for them. Such as a Maul(Earth Breaker).


1 person marked this as a favorite.

How would you handle this?

My thought is to make it Craft(Firearms) using the DCs in the Feats section of UC. Also I would use the basic costs used under the Gunsmithing Feat.


Obsidian Portal Page

Here are the Character Creation Guidelines

Ok so this is going to be my first Play-by-Post as a GM.

It will be a open Tactical Sandbox combat arena. You will be able to rest and fight.

Anything I missed in the Creation Guidelines?


So I have been working on a Character for: The Arena

Here she is: Ezra

The thing is it has been a bit since I built a character like this and... Well lets face it I ain't as good as I once was. And I really need to knock off the rust. Badly.

Main Question: Am I missing anything?

Secondary Questions:
-Is everything right?
-Any advice?

NOTE: I will be taking her all the way up to Level 20. So any advice on taking her up to Level 20 would also be appreciated.


Sapper/Pioneer

This archetype is for my Homebrew Setting. It is based on the Sappers & Pioneer soldiers of Medieval & Renaissance Europe.

So 2 friends and I are going to be playing in a Campaign where each of us are going to control 2 Characters.

I have chosen to take the "Martial Combat Elements" of our Party and build Twin Brothers both Fighters one with the Two-Weapon Warrior Archetype & one with the Archer Archetype. To save us trouble we are using the same 4d6 Method Stat Rolls for both character under a Player.

Array:

18,18,17,16,16,15

TWW Obvious Choices:

-Two-Weapon Fighting Tree
-Starting with a Longsword & Shortsword/Gladius combo

Archer Obvious Choices:

-Basic Archery Feats
-Starting with a cheap Shortbow and getting an Adaptive Endless Ammunition Longbow/Shortbow ASAP

This is the first time I have dealt with these two archetypes. Any advice besides the obvious will be greatly appreciated.


Pathfinder Weapon Group Feats

As the title asks?


Would you allow a Player to put the Endless Ammunition properties on a Firearm in your home games?

Personally I would allow it.

Sub-Topic: Also anyone else find it strange that they didn't include the Agile property to UE?


2 people marked this as a favorite.

Ok, drawing inspiration from Ultimate Equipment's Kits my co-GM & I have decided to create a generic Adventurers' Kit that we can give to everyone for free. It will also be added to NPCs to represent their basic gear.

So I am asking:

What do you think is necessary?

What would be a good price for it?

What other kits do you think could be useful?


Ok This has to do with My friend and me running a Weird West/Weird War style campaign.

The Problem:
We want to include Firearms that offer increased capacity. Such as a Rifle with a Capacity of 8. We are trying to figure out a good way to price such weapons.

Current Solutions:
We are thinking:
-Keep the prices the same. <My thought>
-Add 100gp per point of increased capacity to UC's prices.
-Add 500gp per point of increased capacity to UC's prices.

Please give us some of your feedback.


This is a thread dedicated to a finalized version of this idea.

Here is what I have so far. I need some ideas for some class features.

The concept is something along the lines of the Low Templar's two paths.

Constructive Criticism, Ideas, and Opinions are requested.

Ok i just got a chance to look through my buddies Bestiary 3 and Im kinda disappointed in all the various monsters that could have been used to make new Alternate PC races.

I.E. the Adlet & Tanuki would have made wonderful PC races. Even if they only had one or two differences from another race it would be wonderful RP fuel. And maybe do like the kobolds & i believe it is the Drow Noble and make it to where the CR adjustment is altered.

How do you guys feel about this kind of stuff?

Edit: Also forgot to mention the fact that the Demilich and a few others now seem to have instant death effects.
