because all Knowledge skills are Trained Only. As in, they cannot be attempted without at least one rank in the skill. You apparently cannot know what a dog is without Knowledge: Nature any more than you could decipher a spell without Spellcraft or make a forgery without Linguistics. The villagers cannot take tens on skills they are blocked off from using entirely. Not quite correct: Knowledge"Untrained: You cannot make an untrained Knowledge check with a DC higher than 10. If you have access to an extensive library that covers a specific skill, this limit is removed. The time to make checks using a library, however, increases to 1d4 hours. Particularly complete libraries might even grant a bonus on Knowledge checks in the fields that they cover." So, anybody with an average intelligence, going through life Taking 10 can identify any Comon creature up to CR5, and any non-uncommon CR0 creatures. Or better if they choose to look them up in a book.
A number if the NPCs in the Breachill gazetter in Hellknight Hill are noted as Cleric X, actually cleric 5 in all three cases. Are these people expected to have the full abilities of a 5th level PC cleric, or are there rules, either out there or forthcoming, for creating Creatures with cleric-like abilities?
During character creation make sure that they know that there will be multiple occasions during this AP where they will be in social situations where heavy weapons & armour (and large /vicious looking) animals WILL NOT be allowed, but conversely light armor and weapons (like daggers and raipers) will be the social norm. This AP is "about" social interaction. If they're going in thinking different they are not in the right AP.
More of a general Age of Ashes question, rather than a part 2 specific one; this particular Adventure Path seems to be to be written with a younger, or at least less experienced, "voice". Choices of adjectives, things like that. Is this intentional? I'm guessing so as it could easily be a new GMs first AP. And will in continue in future stories?
September 2014 blog: How does hardness work for creatures? Does energy damage such as cold deal half damage to creatures with hardness (Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook 173-174) even before applying the flat numerical reduction?
I freely admit that I may have missed something obvious here, so if I have, be nice. :) Awaken Animal is a level 6 ritual, so as per table 7-1 on page 408 it can be cast on animals of up to level 11. But, there don't appear to be notes for heightening the ritual (unlike say Atone). Does this mean that it cannot be heightened, or that you just level it up simply by increasing the minimum caster level and the DCs of the skill checks. Ta.
The AR entry for The Dead Roads says, "The character options in this book are legal for play except the blasphemous chalice. A shabti can take only one origin feat." So, what constitutes a character option? The new race definitely, the new archetype and feats, almost certainly, but what about the new equipment, special materials and magic items?
Just read through your thread, and it has quite a few nice ideas, thank you. But it doesn't work for the story as I see it. The Stachys festival is for the people of Stachys, all 60-odd of them. They are, basically peasants, they won't have 5, 10, gp to spend on things at the festival. And I don't see them walking 22 miles to Lotheedar to hold it.
Does anybody have any suggestions of things that I can add to a Stachys harvest festival? (Yes, my group went there too.) I feel acutely aware that even though they have made a point of inviting Okerra and a couple of others, this is mainly going to be populated by the locals, so things that require more that coppers or silvers to be involved in are going to need to be in the minority. If course, in the middle of typing this I've realised that I can have Titus crash the event... }:)
Strangely, Temple of Empyreal Enlightenment was the one that caused me to bring this up back then. I've found the Trigger Warning list, but I'm afrad that it's woefully out of date. Here.
I raised this very topic over four years ago now, (grief, four years) and let's just say that I wasn't particularly agreed with... There is, somewhat on the web, a site which kept a list of adventures and potential triggers. I don't know how up to date it is, and unfortunately I'm not in a position to got hunting for it until tomorrow. Sorry.
I'd say 75% of the crew was 1st to 5th level. 20% was 6th to 10th. 4% was 11th to 15th. And 1% was 16th to 20th. Would these percentages be appropriate for other situations? e.g. The level range of non-"commoners" in a major city? (They seem to me like they have been taken from somewhere.)
My players ended the Tanager Jubilee with Baron Okerra as a firm friend (winning the Dance of the Phalanx with him as a partner was a wonderful sequence of unlikely dice rolls), and they were exceptionally happy and public about it... As such, The Night Swan is going to be starting her campain against them as Hostile rather than Indifferent. Any suggestions how this will change this please?
