Inquisitor Deck

The Inquisitor class deck is in the Paizo store for February release ^_^.

I know, I'm anxiously awaiting that feature as well. Until then though I figured it'd be fun to have more than just the six maximum characters in your party do I made ally cards for Harsk, Valeros, Damiel, Vika, Wu Shen, and Kyra, just to name a few. That way you can cram lots of Iconics and class deck characters into one session and bring their flavor along with you even if you can't play them as a full character at the moment. I've been wanting to play Flenta for a awhile (she'll be in my next party) but she hasn't fit well with the other characters I also wanted to play. With her ally card I can bring her magical mischief along no matter who I play or whatever base set I choose.

P.s. As I've said in a previous post, a version of Flenta pretending to be a Necromancer (or even a Cleric) would be hilarious

When the Paladin deck placeholder art came out there were 3 paladins besides Seelah, when it was changed to three characters instead of four we got two new paladins that were not on the original art: Raz and Koren. I didn't notice until today that the art for both was drawn by the same man,Rogier Van De Beek. At first I didn't think much of it but then I checked the Monk class deck. The place holder monks were replaced by two new ones: Rooboo and Athnul, who were also coincidentally(?) both drawn by Rogier Van De Beek. If Maznar of the Druid deck wasn't drawn by a different person I would be prepared to call it a full fledged conspiracy ~_^.

Knowing this now my question is, are any of these characters from (or based on characters from) any of the sourcebooks or are they new and made from scratch? Also was there any particular reason why the changes were made and all the art just happened to come from the same man? I f they didn't come from any book I'd be more then happy(As would everyone else I'm sure) to start making custom requests for the upcoming and unannounced class decks ~_^.

You could always do a special edition of Flenta with a "Necromantic Faker" Role ; ).

Just got to the Midpoint of Rise of the Runelords using Arueshalae(Redeemed), Tarlin, and Zarlova. I noticed that a few people had asked if she was viable and workable for sets other then Wrath, so I thought I'd share some notes(Cards, powers, feats....have been posted in the appropriate thread if you're curious).

Arueshalae worked great in Runelords as a character, but for good measure I added in the Ranger deck for her to get more Bows and Dex options(With Archer's Bracers she's getting avg. +9 to Ranged Combat).
I didn't find her owner items the Swallowtail Bracers or Spherewalker staff to be of immediate use, though the staff did come in handy later on for locations like Shrine to Lamashtu and The Dam. Also her power to reduce elemental damage still hasn't been needed but it should come in handy towards the end of the set.

Her cohort, Arueshalae's Gift, however proved to be very useful. From the very beginning I've used it exclusively to up Zarlova's Wisdom check for the entire duration of each game. At one point with skill and power upgrades, Zar was rolling an 8 minimum with gift+1, meaning that she could auto acquire most Divine spells,(and then check the top or bottom of her deck for a spell or blessing)and also auto recharge most Divine spells(which if they are Attack go right to the top of her deck :}). It's cheating a bit I suppose , but all's fair when you travel with a Succubus right?

Once I'm done with Runelords I plan to run Arueshalae through S&S(in the Fallen Role)because the only thing better than a Succubus is a Succubus with HUGE......Firearms, of course ;). In this run I'm thinking of adding in the Rogue deck to also give her access to poison's and other dirty tricks(If you're gonna Fall might as well do it right, huh?).

The Image of the Monk class deck has been changed in the store, looks like we'll potentially be having a Tengu Monk now(If I judge right by the new image). Looks like the druid set may have been tweaked as well.

New Monk Art.

I think instead of a physical promo I would much rather that they add (Free) unlockable content to the game itself. Today there are so many digital games that don't offer you much(or sometimes anything) for completion because the company would rather sell you extra content. My wish would be in game incentive to replay the game multiple times, perhaps the unlocking of a random class deck character when you complete the full game( If they let us unlock say,4, there would still be plenty to sell to us later), or when you complete the game you unlock the Iconic Hero owner cards for the characters you were playing. It's just my opinion, but I don't need physical incentive to buy the game, I'd be looking more for incentive to replay the game.

Being able to use my conquering heroes in a >6 adventure is something I've been waiting to do since I finished Rotr. I would be in for sure.

I had a subscription up until a few days ago(which I had to cancel due to money issues),and I was bummed by the delay, but when money is no longer a concern I will be renewing my sub. I wanted to put in my two cents about my experience with Paizo.

I like that when I call Paizo(and I have a few times, some times just to ask questions) I don't have to deal with an automated answering device, I get a human being before the 3rd ring, and I almost always speak to the same associate who is always helpful and pleasant. There aren't many companies you can say that about. I also like that we have this forum, in which People like Mike, Tanis,and Vic will take time out of their day to answer our questions. I've found Paizo's prices to be reasonable(everyone has to make a living), and if it is a little more then other vendors I think that having a personal connection with the people you buy your games from is priceless(try asking amazon for advice about your custom character build or ask them for clarification of rules :> ).I know you could buy games elsewhere and still use the boards, and I'm fairly new to the gaming scene, but I would imagine that not every company gives you such access to the designers and execs.

From what I've seen Paizo knows exactly how we feel. They were expecting something and did not receive it. Most companies would throw the printer under the bus,but Mike who has worked with them before even defended them.Sometimes stuff happens and I like that that was Paizo's response instead of pointing a finger. I just want to say to the Paizo and Loneshark teams that I appreciate the work you guys do and keep it up ;).

Perhaps a Goblin Warpriest ; ) ?
