I figure a great house rule that may speed up combat AND make casters feel more involved in their spells is to simply have them roll their Spellcasting attack against the monster/NPC's saving DC. That way, the DM isn't rolling 10 saves for a bunch of goblins in a fireball AND the caster feels more in control of the spell they are casting.

What about Critical Success and Failures for the saving throws you ask? Simply flip the descriptions so instead of a critical saving success, it's a critical failing attack! And vice versa!

You're welcome.

Ah, apparontley, I must take ze cake bahk to ze keetchen... My sous-chef tells me that you put ze stripper in ze cake AFTER you bake it.

Where's the dirt?

Well, for you, I'd add some top soil. But the dirt in the recipe is because the seasoning turns everything reddish-brown.

For Sharoth:

Eazy Meal #1: Mexican Dirty Rice

1 Chicken Breast
1 Taco seasoning packet
1/2 cup rice
1/2 cup water

In skillet/pan/upside-down helmet, cook chicken in oil over med-high heat until white. Add seasoning packet and stir. Add rice & water, raise heat to high until boiling. Then lower heat to simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes.

Serve in bowl with cheese, or put on tortilla as burrito, or put tortilla in bowl and serve with cheese, or spoon directly from pan into mouth (beware of temperature).

Serves 4 small children, 2 adults or one gamer.

My apologies... Bake ze bread for 30 minootes, not 45. ;)

I burned my bread thanks to you.

Jerk.

I apologize profusely! I forgot to convert it from ze metric system! ;)

My apologies... Bake ze bread for 30 minootes, not 45. ;)

Tonight, it iz a speciol night! It iz Italian dinner night!

First, you must make ze italian bread. Take 3¼ cups flour, ½ T active yeast, ½ t sugar and ½ t salt and mix togezer with a whisk in a large bowl. After all ze dry ingrediants are mixed, add 1¼ cups of water and knead ze dough togezer for about 15 minootes! Zen cover ze entire bowl with a tea towel and let zit for 90 minootes.

After 90 minootes are up, punch down ze dough as if it were a insignificant peasant. Take ze tea towel and sprinkle some corn meal (or more flour if you are too heazenistic to 'ave corn meal) and shape ze dough into a loaf shape and place on ze corn meal. Fold up ze tea towel to cover ze loaf, but not tightly zince you need to leave room for it to rise again (just as if you cast Raise ze Dead, non?) for anozer 45 minootes.

Pre-heat your oven to 450 degrees (fahrenheit, you american imbeciles!). Once ze dough 'as risen, spread some corn meal (or your faux pas flour) on a pizza stone (you do not 'ave one? Non! Go buy one right now! I shall wait...) and place ze loaf on ze stone and bake for 45 minootes. Ze bread is finished when the crust is golden-brown and tapping on it produces a hollow sound. For a chewier crust, you can brush on an egg wash before baking.

Once ze bread is done, remove from ze oven and let rest on baking rack for 15-20 minootes. Just enough time for you to make ze dinner!

Start with crumbling up four sausage links (I recommend ze spicy italian sausage... You zick pigs! Zat iz NOT what I meant) in a large cast iron skillet. Let it cook over medium-high heat until it iz browned. Zen add to ze pan a cup of chopped mushrooms, a tablespoon for minced garlic, a tablespoon of minced onion, 16 ounces of crushed tomatoz and season with salt, pepper, basil and oregano to taste. Turn ze heat down to a simmer and cover.

Fill a large pot (about three-quarters of ze way up) with water and add a teaspoon of kosher salt and two tablespoons of light olive oil. Bring to a boil. Once it iz boiling, add ze noodles to ze water. Personally, I usually break ze noodles in half before add zem. Zis allows the noodles to be fully immersed in ze water from ze beginning (instead of zem slowly sinking if you do not break zem) and also prevents ze diners from 'aving to cut ze noodles later.

While ze noodles are boiling, slice ze bread and place on a plate. Cover with another towel (do not use ze same one from earlier! Zat is disgusting!) and place on ze table.

After boiling ze noodles for 8-12 minootes (zey will be done when ze noodles are stretchy but still firm), drain ze water from zem. Do NOT rinze ze noodles with cold water zince ze will break down ze structure and make zem mushy. Pour ze noodles into a large serving bowl and pour ze sauce over zem in ze bowl right away. Serve on ze table with ze bread and watch your diners eat with ze joy!

Zome side accompaniments to ze meal would be parmigiana cheese, powder garlic and butter. Serve with your favorite beverage (which is probably not ze fabulous french wine, but your poor american 'soda pop').

Bon Appetit!

Simple question, do they work together? I can't see why they wouldn't, but it just seems to be a easily exploitable feat combo. I may not even be playing a Ranger for this campaign, was just perusing the CRB.

Thanks.

If I successfully hit an opponent with a Stunning Fist attempt, and proceed to take advantage of the Monkey Shine feat, can I utilize the Step Up feat to effectively continue using Monkey Shine if the opponent takes a 5-foot step? I'd love to be able to "lock down" an opponent with Monkey Shine & Step Up until they make a move or withdraw action. From what I understand, I would continuously receive an aoo from Monkey Shine if the opponent took a 5-foot step & continuously be able to stay in their space from Step Up.

While I'm on this subject, I'd love it if somebody could also tell me if an opponent could use a ranged weapon against me while I would be inside their space. I'm thinking it would seem strange that a character would be able to use a throwing dagger or bow against me while I would be inside their space and "in their face".

Thanks.

Hello everyone,

I've been recently frequenting the forums, and just felt like saying a friendly hi to everyone (I'm Canadian). I took a break from p&p rpgs for around 5 years, and have thankfully gotten a group of friends together to show the ropes. I've been kind of bummed out not being able to play a PC for so long, so I commissioned an amazing friend to flesh out my most recent character concept.

They don't often do that type of commission work, but if you like what you see, feel free to contact them.

I thought it would be cool to see a thread of character illustrations, and here we are. The illustration can either be done by you, or something as simple as a reference image of what your character is based off of or might look like. Feel free to include a snippet of your character's backstory.

I'll start.

Name: Lex
Race: Tiefling
Class: Sorcerer
Image: Click here
Backstory: I don't want to include too much, however the character is loosely based off of similar ideas to Blade and Alucard from Hellsing. Lex spends most of his time fighting undead, cults, and demons.

I can't wait to see what amazing stuff people have come up with. =)

I can tell you exactly what I want from this game, and what I hope other people are expecting from this game. In short, I'd like a digitization of how pathfinder works, and what it is. If this is far from the creators vision, please let me know.

[MOST IMPORTANTLY FROM A PLAYER STANDPOINT]

-The ability to create characters offline and import them into the online environment and vice versa. The ability for players to import/export their characters from the online version of Pathfinder to the table-top version would create a perfect synergy of the currently existing Pathfinder product.

-A developer toolkit available for GMs that would enable them to create their own adventures.

-An online database that tracks character progression and equipment. Paizo/Goblinworks could easily utilize and digitize the GameMastery Item Cards: Essentials Deck and the like to create a beautiful online inventory. Due to players being able to import/export their characters from pathfinder online to the table-top version, players should be able to update their OWN character level, stats, and inventory online.

-Standard 5ft. by 5ft. grid tracking, enabling online players to easily see the current situation.

-Grid/character interaction, e.g., enabling characters to see the area a spell might affect if used.

-In-game mob HP tracking, letting GMs focus on more important things.

-Online friends system and live-chat system. I would not expect or want an in-game VOIP service, as most people already use multiple.

-The online character and profile. Players would be able to upload images for their character tokens (a specified file format and size) as well as a "battle image" and "portrait image". The purpose of the battle/portrait images is to "liven the game" and help generate a scene for the players. The dungeons would have preset backdrops for different rooms and sections, and the current character art displayed on screen would alternate depending on whose turn it is during the combat cycle, or by who last spoke in the live-chat system. Obviously the amazing monster art could be utilized from the existing Pathfinder Bestiary books and displayed on screen when it is the GMs turn to deal some damage.

-Party-finding. Particularly, the ability to find and join other players of similar character levels adventures. A player would only be able to join a game mid-session if all of the players and GM accept a vote. Games could also be set to private and password protected, eliminating the option of players joining mid-session.

-GMs retain near-total control. GMs would control the movement and actions of all NPCs and Monsters. The actual dungeon areas would be previously made with the aforementioned GM developer toolkit, but GMs would be able to insert extra monsters, traps, or chests live. The dungeons could have preset dialogue sequences from NPCs, and GMs could respond as the NPC after the sequence. The game could have a preset challenge rating cap, allowing GMs to only insert mobs or traps of certain difficulties.

[MOST IMPORTANTLY FROM THE DEVELOPER STANDPOINT]

-Paizo/Goblinworks could sell ALL of its existing Adventure Paths via micro transactions. This would be an amazing source of income for Paizo/Goblinworks, as most players would love to play the high-quality premade adventures. Players would still be able to create and host games with custom adventures created through the aforementioned toolkit.

[AFTERWORD]

Yes, this is my vision of what I expect from Pathfinder Online, and it may and probably does differ from the creators. When I watched the technology demo and saw that PFO is going to be a "sandbox MMO" and "unlike other MMOs" I found those promises vague.

I expect Pathfinder Online to be the tabletop game mechanics, but online. I hope this is the creators vision.
