So I may have dug myself into a big of a hole here. I've been GMing for a while now, but mostly Pathfinder Society and Homebrew stuff. I've only ever played one AP, but am going to be starting RotR soon for my group. The problem I've come into is that my party is going to be starting at level 3. They're from the town of Kassen and they will soon complete the module "Crypt of the Everflame", and I have plans to take them through the two sequels to it, Masks of the Living God, and City of Golden Death, modules tiered for a level 3 party and a level 5 party respectfully, though Golden Death is suppose to be incredibly difficult from what I understand, Masks seems to be of a role play module from my experience.

My original plan was to hold off on the two modules till after the completion of book 1, my party isn't very power built (Rogue, Cleric, Sorcerer, Barbarian, Samurai). We've been doing everything on the fast track. My major concern is that I'm worried they're going to cakewalk through the first book, if I have done my math correctly, they'll be about halfway between level 5 and level 6 by the end of it. What I'm trying to do is toughen up the first book a bit but would be open to suggestions. Any help would certainly be appreciated.

So, this may be in the wrong forum, and if it is, I'm sure a friendly moderator will get it where it needs to be!

Being a man in my mid twenties, with no wife or kids, I am looking at getting my own apartment, but finding the dining room spaces in my area and price range too small for having a table of seven people sit comfortably for hours and explore mystical lands and such. Therefore, my solution has been to find an apartment with a second bedroom for the purposes of making my own GAMING ROOM!

This is a room that will essentially be housing a large table for my groups to game in. While the large hardwood table and chairs are a must, I pose the question to you, mighty PATHFINDERS, what would you put in a gaming room?

So I'm having a bit of an issue. Rowdy players. We're a very jokey group, fun antics and such. But it becomes a bit hard to get them to focus. While they all clearly want to play the game, it just makes it hard to get things done. We are by far the slowest moving group I have ever played with, and I'm at my wits end as to what to do.

First off, if this is the wrong forum for this type of discussion, I apologize, but I'm looking for advice and this is an advice forum so...

I run a game out of one of my player's houses, about five people, depending on our various work schedules, we all used to work for the same company, but for various reasons, our schedules have become more varied as some of us have moved onto different positions and such. Anyways, one of my players recently asked if it would be okay for his 14 year old sister (We're all about in the 25-27 range) to join in the game, she apparently had a lot of experience in fantasy and roleplaying, given that it was his sister, I said okay. She's been great thus far, probably the strongest roleplayer in the group. My problem is that it's been brought to my attention (as apparently everyone knew this but me, and perhaps there was a communication error), that it is not his sister, that it is actually one of his many girlfriend's sister.

I feel like this changes things significantly, having a minor there now, without a member of her family actually there. Part of me feels like I need to remove her from the group, but the other part doesn't want to turn her off of the experience. Not sure where to proceed from here.

Is it possible to put the returning property on a dart? My friend says it is as it counts as a thrown weapon. I argue it doesn't work as its ammo.

I have a player in one of my games who is playing a catfolk rogue who doesn't use weapons, only his claws. The problem he keeps running into (shocker) is that he can't really deal with anything incorporeal, and has issues with anything requiring magic weapons, and lacks the BAB to go the eldritch claws route.

Is there any way for him to get around this problem, besides the amulet of the mighty fists, eldritch claws, or magic fang?

I'm having a little difficulty getting a straight answer on how the feat Master Craftsman works with Craft Wondrous items.

"Master Craftsman - Choose one Craft or Profession skill in which you possess at least 5 ranks. You receive a +2 bonus on your chosen Craft or Profession skill. Ranks in your chosen skill count as your caster level for the purposes of qualifying for the Craft Magic Arms and Armor and Craft Wondrous Item feats. You can create magic items using these feats, substituting your ranks in the chosen skill for your total caster level. You must use the chosen skill for the check to create the item. The DC to create the item still increases for any necessary spell requirements (see the magic item creation rules in Magic Items). You cannot use this feat to create any spell-trigger or spell-activation item."

Now, this is relatively clear for things like weapons and armor that have a clear class skill associated with them. However, I'm not sure what craft or profession skill would represent wondrous items, as they don't fall neatly into one group or another with their various base items. Any help would be appreciated, thanks for reading.

Hello, I'm sorry if this has been answer elsewhere, but I'm having difficulty finding a proper answer.

Do Alchemist's Fire, Acid Flasks, and other Alchemical Creations count as magical?

Thank you

Recently I had this come up and I was hoping for some clarification.

Level 6 Wizard casts hypnotic pattern, let's say he gets up to affecting 11 HD. There are two targets with 6 HD each in the radius of the spell. The first target makes the will save. Does that count against the 11 HD he has for targets? I would think it would, but the mage player is claiming it doesn't.

Edit: Also, if anyone knows where this is stated in the rulebook, that'd be helpful. The party is likely to ask.

I searched for an answer on the forums for this question but I couldn't find it, I apologize if this has come up before.

I'm looking at making a Rogue/Alchemist for a home game I'm going to be playing in, I'm only planning on taking two levels of rogue to get the skills (The party needs a trapspringer). Does Magical Knack work for alchemists? They have a "Caster level" for their extracts, but they aren't really spellcasters, so I'm not sure if it would or not.

Also: Looking at the level zero spell "Brand" for inquisitors, it seems to brand the enemy on a successful melee touch attack, but from what I see it says it has a fortitude save, though I'm not sure what the save is actually for.

Any help here would be hot. Thanks for your time

Hello all GenCon GMs

I am scheduled to run five slots at GenCon, Slots 5, 6, 8. 9, and 10. Unfortunately, unless I can switch out the game on Sunday (Slot 10) to another slot, I will be unable to attend. When I applied for the schedule, I did not realize I would be taking on a new full time job that starts that Sunday. I would very much like to attend the con, but if I cannot find someone to switch that slot with, I will be unable to attend.

My Slot 10 game is(0900-1400): #4-01: Rise of the Goblin Guild (1-5), if there is anyone interested, I'll trade out for anything, I just need to GM the five tables for the badge.

Thank you for reading

Simple question, sorry if I posted a question that was already asked, but I didn't find an answer in my searching.

Jotungrip - At 2nd level, a titan mauler may choose to wield a two-handed melee weapon in one hand with a –2 penalty on attack rolls while doing so. The weapon must be appropriately sized for her, and it is treated as one-handed when determining the effect of Power Attack, Strength bonus to damage, and the like.

So could I use Jotungrip to wield two two-bladed swords?

Hello

I've been looking into getting Pathfinder Society games running in Columbus, as ever since the Armoury closed down I haven't been able to really play much in the city, and I'm looking to see how much interest there would be in such games. I would be willing to run them, and I'm not sure who else is running games in the area at this time.

I've been offering to run games at The Guardtower on Trabue Rd on Wednesday nights, 7PM, but could most likely run games at other times and at other places as well.

If there is any interest, I can be reached at BTLOTM@gmail.com, as well as on here.
