Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Question: do you create these manually in Word? Or do you utilize a program to aid formatting?

The Hell's Rebels Player's Guide refers to, mentions, and/or suggests using content from the following books:

<<snip>>

Pathfinder Player Companion: Heroes of the Street, Pathfinder Player Companion: Spymaster's Handbook, and Pathfinder RPG Ultimate Intrigue hadn't come out yet when Hell's Rebels was first released, a baffling oversight you probably shouldn't hesitate to correct.

Is twenty-four books enough to be getting on with?

That's great. I mean, when we're talking player options, obviously there's a smaller slice of these pages that is relevant.

Cheliax, Empire of Devils seems like a no brainer - can't believe I missed that one. Or Champions of Balance.

Thanks for the suggestions! :)

Personally, I would say all the ultimate core books, so ultimate combat, magic & equipment. But if you are not so into the classes there, at least ultimate equipment because basically almost 80% of all the interesting gear is from that book.

I'd also say pathfinder unchained, if only for allowing unchained rogue, its a much better way to play rogues and means its likelier someone picks up playing a rogue if they are thinking about it.

Good calls. It's funny to think of them as "core," but when you start getting into the real character options it makes sense.

Also, they don't necessarily have a theme that might override the overall theme of the adventure.

I pull some things from Unchained too, already. Urogue, usummoner, and skill consolidation/unlocks.

Howdy all - one of the things I like to do when putting together a new Pathfinder game is limit the total number of rulebooks allowed. I find it can really highlight the themes I'm looking for and aid people in making characters that will fit the campaign.

For Ironfang Invasion, I'm looking at the following:

CRB, APG, ACG
Ultimate Wilderness (when released)
Heroes of the Wild

What other books (players' companions or RPG line) would really fit the bill?

@MeanMutton - I guess I could just create the standard goblin race; but basic races aren't really an option. We're supposed to create something.

@Smashomancer - Good call. I was banking on being Fey to protect me from early charms and dominates, but as we get into high level play, it might make more sense.

@SheepishEidolon - We haven't tried this before, but he's a longtime DM and he's used to our powergaming ways. We're playing around with it intentionally, so we're going in with open eyes. Each player is custom crafting their race to their character/role.

It's the first time I've messed with race building, and my concern is that I'm too focused on low-level play -- my initial build spent 6 points on flight -- and that the race I'm developing won't provide me tangible benefits beyond 4th or 5th level.

Scarab Sages

Howdy!

Please take a look at my race build for a uRogue intending to go TWF. I'm open to critiques & suggestions.

Advanced races using 16pts. The only "negative" point ability we can purchase is Slow.

Type: Fey (2 pts)
Size: Small (0 pts)
Speed: Normal (0 pts)
Lang: Standard (0 pts)
Race Lang: Sylvan
Ability Scores: Specialized (1 pt),+2 Dex, +2 Con, -2 Wis

Racial Traits
Fast
Fey Damage Reduction
Immortal
Lightbringer
Lucky, Lesser
Natural Attack: Wing, Hoof
Quick Reactions

From a flavor standpoint, I was picturing a species of fey "angelic" in appearance, thematically tied to sunlight. Essentially sun fey.

But, I'm open to anything you've got. What's your best custom race for rogues? Or how would you make mine better?

Scarab Sages

Clark hasn't been about the boards for almost a month now.

I hope everything and everyone is doing well.

Anybody notice the icons in the upper left of the Season 3 cover pages?

Season 2 had a similar icon, but it was always the Grand Lodge emblem.

A few Season 3 scenarios have a phoenix-like icon.

It's likely a reference I'm missing but, does anybody have an idea what those are intended to indicate? The seem too prominent to be irrelevant.

Nothing. What good is going to come of forcing someone to play a character they're dissatisfied with?

None. I agree - which is why I'm trying to find a way to allow it.

Granting willy-nilly rebuilds completely undermines party/world continuity AND makes challenge creation increasingly difficult.

Scarab Sages

I've got a character who would like to completely rebuild his character... he would maintain class and race selections, but he's wanting to reassign abilities, feats, etc.

In an effort to always "say yes," I'm trying to put together a reasonable in-character cost for the extremely generous grant.

If you had a 6th level character who wanted to completely rebuild, would you allow it? And what would you make the character pay?

Scarab Sages

Thank you Gninja Minion! :)

After much waiting, I still have not received this order.

It shipped on September 24, according to my order page.

Is there any recourse?

Scarab Sages

I thought I was scheduling my two sidecart purchases to ship with the Bestiary.

Please move these held items as I would prefer not to wait until November.

Greatly appreciated!
