One other thing, planning to run this on Saturday, but even the thugs in the very first encounter of the campaign seemed overpowered with 24 hp against players who might have around 10 or 15 if they are lucky. I'm sure the cleric can cast hold person on one though so that evens it out a little.

Isn't a CR4 encounter too high for 4 first level characters?


By the way I added those two files to my game system data folder. All other files were extracted into my dropbox folder


Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks so much for this, running this for my cousin and his kids who have never played before... this will save me a lot of grief!!!

For some reason I can't edit my original post now that I'm on my computer, so I will go ahead and rewrite it here to make it easier to read: Please note I embellished on the story a little bit towards the end mostly.

So I had a new player who is new to roleplaying make up a half orc barbarian from Belkzen to begin the campaign. At first he was kind of looked down on by the people of Sandpoint, and unlike the other players who had rooms at the Rusty Dragon, he stayed outside in the stables with a horse.

After saving the town from the goblin raid, he was seen now by the townsfolk as a hero. As the players went about doing different thing with their downtime, the orc went to the Fatman's Feedbag hearing that it was a rough tavern and he thought this might be his kind of place to hang out. The Varisians in the bar snickered at him for being an orc when he walked in the door. Out of anger he threw over a table and he proceeded to spit in his beer and dump it over the head of the Varisian who had made the comment. A fight ensued and they subdued the orc and threw him out of the bar onto the street. Little did he know he was messing with the local Scarzni.

He waited for the Varisian who he started the fight with to leave the bar late at night, and when his target and 3 other Varisians walked out he threw a rock and hit the guy in the head knocking him out. He then ran to the sheriff for safety but the didn't follow.

The group went on the boar hunt and along with a number of other horses for the other players, Alderrin bought the orc the horse from the stall he was staying in who he then named Buttercup. He became very attached to Buttercup, and when they offered him a free room at the Rusty Dragon he decided to continue sleeping in the stall with his horse.

Later a Scarni rogue approached another of the players who was also a Scarzni rogue out of Magnimar from the group known as the Tower Girls, and the local mobster asked this player to try to keep his orc friend under control.

When the orc went out to the stables again, he found his horse dead, and in a rage went to burn down the Fatmans Feedbag. He started lighting the outside of the building with a torch, and when people came out running from inside they drew their swords. He was killed in the ensuing fight, but he used a hero point to stay alive. He was now unconscious and tied up in a sheet in the basement.

The player characters after a day and a half were wondering where the orc disappeared to but the rouge of the group had a good idea. He told the others,' I think I know what happened to him this is family business I will go and take care of it."

The rogue player went down to the Feedbag inquiring what might have happened to the orc. They told him the orc overstepped the line and he is gone. The player asked,"did you take him out?" They replied that he was dead. The player asked to see the body but they told him he was long gone which was a half truth. The player rolled a successful sense motive and kept asking where the body really was and what they did with it. The local mob told him that they sink the bodies around here and that he was ready to be dumped out at sea.

The player said well where I come from we dismember the bodies, I would like to see him to make sure he is really dead. They agreed saying, " OK if you want to see the body then you can, but then we are doing it your way and you are going to help us."

They proceeded to the basement where the player rogue picked up a saw and proceeded to dismember his fellow group member. I awarded him 200xp for good roleplaying since his character didn't really know the orc well and was more loyal to the mob.

The scarni player is now in good with the local mob, and my new player starts a new character!!!


Actually, I didn't want you to do anything, I was just sharing an exciting and unusual side story. As for the and they, I know the difference, maybe you should refer to the last line of my post about the spelling. I will fix it when I get in front of my computer!

Sorry for the poor spelling type on my ipad...


I have Hero Lab, could you give me a link to those portfolios?

Thanks!!!

So I started with 4 players, got through the first goblin raid on Sandpoint in Burnt Offerings, but somehow two more players joined the group. I'm not worried about the xp as I will have them level when I want, but I'm afraid two extra players will unbalance the encounters, what would you do?


For some reason I thought this would be 2 or 3 times bigger than it actually is. Still seems like a high quality toy though


I've been reading Lovecraft and playing Cthulhu for the past 23 years with a good friend of mine, so I am psyched to be getting this for Christmas for his 4 year old son. I they will be both happily surprised when the wrapping comes off!


I haven't played psionics much in 3.0 or later, but I have skimmed over the books a little. I plan on playing psionics again soon in Pathfinder, and I am hoping they keep the Gith races and the Githzeri psionic marshal arts style. Other than that the 3.0/3.5 psionics system seems pretty good, but I'm sure you will improve on it.

Well, here's my take on it:

Pathfinder Character Sheet

Pathfinder logo used without permission, etc., etc.

Note that this sheet has separate pages for Arcane, Divine, and Spontaneous spellcasting, so most people won't have to print out the whole sheet, just the relevant pages. I think I got rid of all the houserules before I put this one up; if I missed any, please let me know ;)

If anyone has any suggestions, or would like a custom version of this sheet, I'll be happy to oblige! Just post here, and I'll see what I can come up with.

Great sheets. If you could put in the new skill list in place of the old one based on the core rulebooks, and maybe put in a spot for the new special class skills (such as those for rogues and barbarians), I think I would prefer your sheets to the one in the back of the book.


So now that the core rulebook is out are they going to post the character sheet from the back of the book any time soon?


Any chance we might see a hardcover campaign setting that combines info from the Companion into a complete workable world with a world map?


ADnD 1st edition had great artwork. Third edition artwork was aweful and dumbed down the game seemingly putting the focus on adolescents. I don't see why we can't have better artwork and the flexibility to have a more realistic mature theme.


I am relatively new to Paizo products but I just read on the RPGA forum that they are discontinuing support of the Living Greyhawk campaign. Is there any chance that Pathfinder might pick up Greyhawk as a campaign setting in any form?
