Excited to look over these!!! The flavor of these new releases has been so fun. It looks like the Demiplane link redirects to the Paizo home page.
I can't tell you much about the conversion of 1e stuff to 2e, but as for the levels, I can say that if you can convert and add in the Agency of Secrets module to the party's return trip to Korvosa and the Deathhead Vault in book 4, its fairly easy to stretch the campaign's existing 17 (+1 for the module) levels to 20, though I would recommend just sticking to milestone leveling... Hey! I was just looking through my notes and I realized I never said thank you, so 1) sorry for the delay and 2) thank you! This is fantastic advice and was just what I was looking for. I really appreciate you taking the time to reply!
Howdy, all. I'm about to start up a 2e conversion of CotCT and if anyone has advice about converting the AP (or just about running the AP in general!) I'd love to hear it. For reference I am also planning to homebrew a bit to add a few levels in to the back half of the AP to make it 1 to 20 and use that as a jumping off point to try and fix some of the issues with book 5 that I've heard about. Thank you all in advance!
Just want to say these look absolutely gorgeous. I'm consistently impressed by the dedication shown in the Paizo-released Foundry modules and this one looks spectacular so far. I can't wait to get home and give it a test run.
There’s a thread I made in the 5e forum, where this belongs. Paizo has nothing to do with this project. If you have a moment, would you be willing to link the thread? I'd be interested to hear what people think about it.
And my watch has ended! Time to consider calling out of work to read it just a little too seriously.
My watch continues. Very excited to finally get to check out Psychic once it ships tho!
Question: how much does updating a payment method affect a subscription? I had to update my card information since it was out of date and I'm wondering how what that's going to do re: Dark Archive. Thank you for the reply! I updated my payment method and bought the 2nd book of OoA to make sure it worked (and definitely for no other reason like the fact I horde APs I don't have time to run yet) and the payment went through fine, so fingers crossed everything is in order now.

Might want to wait until they announce shipping has started, until then you are just refreshing for nothing. :DLet’s hope the Warehouse Team are given the green light nice and early so these orders start their journeysDoing my part to help them get everything sent off quickly by constantly refreshing my inbox for the shipping notification. :D A sacrifice I'm willing to make! (I kid. I *am* waiting with bated breath for an announcement, though!)

Also, new subscriber question: are orders marked pending up until they ship?Yup! Ah, great, thank you!

I have a feeling it might have been me, but I do it for so long now that I can't even confirm this xDIs saying "and now my watch begins" a thing for subscriptions? That's so fun, I love that. Anyways my watch began last Friday.I don't know who started it or when it began, but it is a very fun little ritual. Seeing "And now my watch has ended" posts long before yours ends can be a bit aggravating, but the anticipation is a part of the whole process. Thank you for your contributions to the Paizo community. :D

Awesome, thank you. I remembered seeing the 11th as a potential date to start shipping a while back, just was wondering why my subscription page looked weird. New software rollout will do that tho. Appreciate the link!
Howdy, all. I have the P2E rulebook subscription and am, like any rational person, incredibly excited for the Dark Archive release. I went into my subscriptions to see if there was a potential ship date, it read: "There are no upcoming products for this subscription on the product schedule." If I scroll down and look at the details for my rulebook subscription, it does still list DA as the next product in line to be shipped. Is this normal or should I reach out to customer service?
** spoiler omitted ** Spoiler for Night of the Grey Death and AoE: Attack on Hunting Lodge Seven: Any time the Lesser Deaths pop up I make a mental note to give my players an extra hero point and also a pep talk. The aura OR their reaction is killer for most of my players, not to mention it's permahasted. Try to Recall Knowledge on it to pinpoint a weakness? Good luck. Want to hit it? Good luck. Want to outrun it? Good luck! The Lesser Death fight and the Worm That Walks cultist fight being in the same book meant the adventure got REALLY deadly there for a while.
I think I most agree with Errenor and Vali's takes on the subject. The Precious trait seems to be for guidance in the crafting system of P2E rather than intended for any kind of combat application and, as Vali says, is a bit of a red herring for this topic. There was an early on suggestion to treat the spell as a conjuration effect which is most likely going to be the easiest solution for a table that isn't interested in getting down to the nitty-gritty on the matter; past that I would say GM gets to decide for their own table (including PFS as there are many times a GM has to make a ruling and stick with it there of course) as the RAW vs. RAI conversation can get, as evidenced here, lengthy.The only thing that bothers me about the conjuration aspect is of course the lack of needing anything. Now the character never has to worry about something to drop, or something laying around the spell is always ready to go. Oh, for sure, but it's also quick fix that simplifies a lot of questions about what TKP can and can't be used for so, given that TKP is a cantrip that does cantrip amounts of damage, it's not untenable. It's not ideal but it's unlikely to break the game if your GM decides they never want to think about TKP ever again after reading through this thread and would rather gloss over it. Editing to add: since this thread seems to be a spinoff of the golem antimagic thread, I will say one definite benefit of treating this spell as a conjuration effect is that the question of whether or not it would be canceled out by antimagic is a lot more obvious.

I certainly see where you're coming from and agree Stonecunning can be useful outside of mechanical traps but I disagree that, given the GM ruling that it has broader applications, it wouldn't be useful for locating the core. The grikkitog and it's core are both described as "melding seamlessly and changing its visual appearance to match the surrounding rock," which is considered an Impersonation ability. The ability explicitly gives PCs the option to use their Perception vs the grikkitog's Deception skill to locate it. Since that involves differentiating it from the surrounding stone, I personally think there's an argument to be made for getting the bonus to Stonecunning, especially since even if it's ruled there's no way to tell where a grikkitog and/or it's core is by sight there's nothing limiting Stonecunning to visual checks only AFAIK.
I can see this being added into the Spell Trickster archetype eventually, but as it stands it's a no go for reasons that have already been laid out pretty well.
I'd allow it for detecting anything out of place in natural stone and stone-works. So, I would give a bonus to detect hidden grikkitogs and piercers, to identifying the presence (and weaknesses) of caryatid columns, stone golems, and other forms of animated stone, hidden cobble mites, as well as mundane things like rotten stone, falling stone traps, clues as to where an ancient cave collapse originated, etc. Hm. I can see being able to find creatures mimicking stonework easier but I'm not sure I'd agree with you being able to identify weaknesses on them more easily (I'm assuming what you meant here was a RK check to identify resistances and weaknesses?). For me I see it as being able to use your expertise with actual stonework to be able to identify more easily when something...isn't actual stonework but that wouldn't necessarily give you insight into the creature itself.
I'm pretty sure the answer is "report upon completion or better luck next time" but I have a home game that's making its way through book 2 of Extinction Curse and just found out as a new GM the rules for running through the APs are different so my players and I could probably turn the game in as we go through it. Is there any chance to cash in on having completed book one since it's been a little or am I very much out of luck? |
