What setting from literature, video games, RPGs, miniatures, movies, tv shows, comics, etc. really, REALLY gets dragons right in your own opinion?

Here are a few of mine:
The Hobbit (Book & Movie)
Game of Thrones (TV Show)
Eragon (Movie, never read the books)
D&D (RPG)
Pathfinder (RPG)
Midgard (RPG by Kobold Press)

I also like World of Warcraft's take on dragons, but feel like only Deathwing got it truly right.

And honestly, I am probably forgetting some of my favorites.

What about y'all?

Tiddlewinks

Description:
Tiddlewinks appear to be bipedal cats from the waist down, with fur of a deep, dark purple that ranges from short and velvety, to long and silky. From the waist up they have a lithe frame and snow-white skin.Tiddlewinks range from 6 to 7 ft tall. Their fingernails, lips, and eyelashes (which are long and curled) are the same purple as their fur, which gives them the appearance of wearing makeup. They have long, pointed ears and sharp canines. Tiddlewinks have long hair atop their heads that is the same color as their fur, and is kept neat and often in a top knot or ponytail. They have no facial hair, however, they do have small tufts of fur on their elbows, which again, is a deep, dark purple. Tiddlewinks are a whimsical fey race. They throw wild, elaborate parties for little to no reason. To those not familiar with the fey, but especially the Tiddlewinks, these beings appear to outright mad, though with a great deal of charm. This, coupled with their unpredictable behaviour and notorious lying, makes most people wary of them. Despite their tall height, Tiddlewinks are exceptionally stealthy and adore magic.

Favored Classes for both will be coming soon. If you guys like these I will try and come with a racial archetype for each.

I was wondering if there are any abilities (class abilities, feats, spells, 3rd party content, etc. that allow me to throw a weapon then teleport to its location. I want to build a monk that fights with a long weapon like a staff, spear, naginata, javelin, and can throw it at a target, teleport to that location, then attack, or at least throw a weapon and teleport to its location. The character is a mix of the blind monk Chirrut Îmwe from Rogue One and the Monkey King from Journey to the West.

I am open to content from 3rd party publishers.

So I am extremely happy about the new bestiary. I love Orang-Pendaks and Deep Ones. I have been wanting and suggesting a plant race. I love red pandas and all things clockwork. I love aliens, too.

Also I love the vast variety of options that Pathfinder has, and I enjoy seeing other people's creations.

So my question to you all is what characters have you made/do you plan to make using the Bestiary 5 options?

I'd love to see what you all have come up with!

If you have links to your character info/sheets (myth-weavers, obsidian portal, google drive, etc.) then I would love to see that too.

Is it possible to cancel my preorder of the Bestiary 5 Hardcover?

I preordered it when I had a job, but I dont have a job anymore and so now I am tight on money.

I am going with a Half-Orc Elemental Annihilator Pyrokineticist. I feel like I didn't go the most creative route (I was originally going to go with a Half-Orc Psychic of the pain discipline but I have been waiting forever to make a kineticist, plus the idea of a fire-bending half-orc was really cool (and the favored race option supports that).

I do really like the medium archetype involving kami. I may roll one of those someday.

And I have this character idea: a spiritualist with a phantom with the fear focus. Basically the idea is the spiritualist is the phantoms mother and the phantom is her baby that was snatched from its crib and died. Now it haunts her and she lives a solemn yet content life.

Anyways what Occult characters will be joining the Pathfinder Society?

Hey, I Know that Occult Adventures just came out today, but does anyone know what is PFS legal? Just wondering.

What races would you like to see as official PC races in Pathfinder (not PFS, just Pathfinder).

Personally I would love to see a PC Satyr race (I absolutely love Satyrs), as well as a PC Lizardfolk Race (I love lizardfolk).

I would also love to see racial archetypes, feats, and alternate racial traits for those guys.

How about you all? What races would you like to see come to Pathfinder?

P.S. If there are any homebrew or third party publishing resources for PC Satyrs, please let me know. I already have the advanced races lizardfolk by Kobold Presss, so I am good on unofficial resources for Lizardfolk. I just need Satyr stuff.

P.S.S. I read somewhere that we might be getting PC Dark Folk and some PC race related to Sasquatches. However I can't remember where I saw this. Anyone know anything about this?

Hello all. I am trying to work out a good build for the Marvel superhero Black Panther. I want to make him very mobile and agile with good reflexes and maneuverability. I also want to make him noble, smart, and perceptive. And finally I want him to be capable of using energy attacks either naturally or via an item/weapon. Sonic is an energy type right? Or am I making that up. If it is then sonic energy attacks would be preferred because vibranium has sonic properties (it's a thematic thing).

Anyone have any advice? And am I asking for too much in this build? Any advice would be much appreciated.

OK so this may sound weird, but I really like beetles. I had some ideas for beetle related archetypes, but don't know how to approach them. My ideas are:

The Scarab Rider: A cavalier that rides giant beetles, gains favored terrain bonuses in deserts, and has minor spellcasting abilities.

The Beetle Bard: A bard specializing in vermin and who has a thirst for knowledge (maybe being able to gain a temporary bonus to knowledge skill checks somehow).

The Swarm Slayer: a slayer with wild empathy to vermin and the ability to cast summon swarm and swarm form.

Any ideas on how to approach these? If anyone wants to take a stab at doing it yourself, go ahead, it would be greatly appreciated.

I am working on a home campaign that takes place in Golarion. Basically the PCs are members of a new faction that is growing in power. The goals of the faction are 1. To protect Golarion from evil, and 2. To grow in power. How would I represent a faction that is growing in power without giving the PCs too much power. I would like the faction to start out with a fort as base (with cannons, a barracks, a war room, and other necessities), a single ship (light but decently armed. Mainly for travel), and a small but decent following of people of all walks of life. They will grow in power, take enemy based, and gain allies, resources, influence, and wealth. How would I represent their growth?

Any and all ideas and suggestions are appreciated.

Imagine you live in a fantastical world where druids in a pathfinder sense were real. Imagine you were a druid. Now imagine if your wild shape was limited to one specific animal and you could have one animal companion. The questions I ask of you are what is your animal form and what is your animal companion. Those are the only two rules. Don't let other pathfinder mechanics or druid rules get in the way of your creativity. This is just a completely random question, BTW. I am just curious as to what responses I might get.

How many players is good for a tier one run of The Stolen Heir. I am DMing a home session of The Stolen Heir. Everyone is at level 1. It was five players plus me the dm. One dropped out. Should I recruit one more person, or is four enough for tier one run of The Stolen Heir?

http://paizo.com/products/btpy90kq

The game is on February 14th so the quicker the response the better.

Thank you.

I just purchased the Midgard Campaign setting by Kobold Press and I love it. Who all plays in the Midgard setting.
What are your favorite supplements for it?
What kind of character are you playing?
Anyone planning on getting Southlands?

I am trying to decide what race to play. I am thinking on a Gearforged from Zobeck.
Any suggestions?
Once Southlands comes out I am gonna play a werelion.

So I was looking at spells and saw one called summon elder worm. It is a 9th level druid spell that summons a purple worm. My first thought was "That's awesome!" Has anyone chosen this spell with their character. Is it practical or not that good? Is it awesome or not that cool?

BTW, the spell is from ultimate magic.

Hello! This is my first time creating pathfinder archetypes. Feel free to use them. If you guys do use them, could you send me your build? I would love to see what you guys do with these, if anything at all.

Are there certain professions to choose from, or can I make my own. For instance can I do Profession (gravedigger) or Profession (mortician)?

No one happens to have a spare or unwanted rebuild boon that they would be wiling to part with, do they?

I am new to pathfinder society and was disappointed that grippli was not playable. I don't have any boons to give away myself since, like I stated, I am new. If anyone is willing to part with this boon (or an oread, just sayin') it would make my day.

(I also live in germany, so I can't go to conventions, and I can't play very often due to time differences)

Sorry if anyone feels I am guilt-tripping you, that is not my intention. Rather I am just explaining my situation to eliminate people leaving comments such as "just go to a convention" or "Go get some boons and people will want to trade". I know this, I am just testing my luck.

And finally if anyone lives in the Stuttgart, Germany area, then please let me know, so that maybe we can play some pfs.

I'm not looking to trade, just wanting to hear about your goblin pc's from those few who have one.

But don't feel restricted if you don't have a goblin. Show of ANY race boon. I would love to get to know some of the pathfinder society's members of some more...exotic races.

(post in character or out of character, just as long as you give your name, class, race, and (if you feel like) it a back story (though back-stories would be highly appreciated, and I will read everything posted here, so, yeah)).

And if you have a wayang, kitsune, or nagaji, you still have some time to post here.

What are some characters (of the above categories) do you have ideas for and would love to play. I'll go first.

1. a gnome who worships Zyphus, is a mortician by trade and cleric by class (who never heals people), was raised by hags in a swamp, hates fey, and is grumpy as heck.

and

2. A kitsune (once they're available) who is a first worlder summoner who summons a little fey bunny thing, values beauty over all else (and envies the natural beauty of the fey), will multiclass as a lotus geisha bard, and is a total fem fatale.

I would love to see some others.

Does a druids animal companion come war trained.
If not is it possible to war train it.
If so how?

Hello all,
I am new to pathfinder society and am looking for a gm to run a level 1 scenario. I'm hoping some people will have interest in doing In service to lore, but will accept any offer I can get. I am available for play tomorrow (August 4th) and Thursday, Friday and Saturday (august 7th through 9th) though I can make exceptions (I am trying to play a tiefling before they go away), but cannot do Tuesday (august 5th) at all.

If anyone is willing to do a level 1 game (preferably In service to lore, but not exclusively) either as a gm or a player please post here.

I prefer roll20 and google hangouts.

is anyone willing to give away a race boon?

also when does wayang become available for use without a race boon?

My most desired races are

1. Skinwalker (skinwalker boons exist, right?)
2. Oread
3. Tiefling
4. Wayang (depending on how long until they become available)

I will accept anything people are willing to give away (even wayang, Kitsune, and Nagaji).

Hey a guy's gotta try, right?

Is the Stuttgart PFS still active?

If so where can I find more information?

Do you have to do the most recent Season? (could I start with season zero?)

Do you have to do the scenarios in order? (could I start with Mists of Mwangi?)

I really love the Mists of Mwangi scenario. My main guy (as well as my brother's main) live in the Mwangi Expanse.
