Hi: I'd planned to pickup this order at Gen Con and it was charged to my account on 8/5. I wasn't able to get to the booth until Sunday, and most of what I needed was gone... So I didn't pick anything up. How long will it take to get the order shipped to me, and is there anything I need to do? The order status says complete, and hasn't been updated, so I'm a little concerned.

Thanks!

I DM for a regular Friday night group; we've been gaming together almost 11 years now. We're comfortable with each other, we understand each other styles, and know what each other brings to the table. I'm a story teller; not a tactical gamer, and my combats sometimes suffers for this. We have a mix of power gamers (it's just a term; lets say optimizer?) and folks that just show up for the draft beer, and ask what dice they roll each time. Good buncha folks.

We switched to Pathfinder around two years ago; the current campaign is set in Ptolus using Pathfinder, everyone is currently 11th level. When the casual gamers started to complain that the optimizers were outshining them; the ones with the optimized characters offered to nerf themselves. I said no; and asked them to help the others with optimization. Re-organize a few feats, optimize the builds, etc. Make the others cooler, I said. Last Friday when a ranger crit an opponent for over 100 damage on a single arrow, I started thinking I might have allowed it to be overdone.

Can I get some input on a build here? At 11th level this Orc can rage for 27 rounds a day (so he's just always in a rage), crit threats on a 15-20, and has four attacks per round (speed weapon). Thats a potential max of 136 around NOT critting. Anything he can't single round can't be hit by almost anyone else, so it's a little harder to balance challenges.

Big thing here is; is the build legit, is anything combined incorrectly, or something I am missing? I've dumped the stat block out of Hero Lab; let me know if anything relevant is missing.

My regular Friday group has been using Pathfinder for almosty two years now; but we live in an area with zero PFS activity, so we have little exposure. Playing in the Society once a year at Gencon didn't seem to be a great way to participate in the story, so while I always stop by the HQ at Gencon, none of us has played so far.

Looking over the schedule for this year, the Special "Race for the Runecarved Key" looks like fun... but how would it be for a group of Level 1s? I can see the range goes up to 12+, so I'm no sure how friendly it would be for an introduction to the Society, or for a group of Level ones fresh off the bus.

Any thoughts?

Digging around, looking for a spell with the opposite effect of Shrink Item:

http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/spells/shrinkItem.html#_shrink-item

I'm convinced I've seen it somewhere, but all I can find is Enlarge Person... all I want to do is make a non-magical item larger. Not a person, and not shrink.

Anyone ideas?

Thanks!

Just found a poster tube in my side door... two all the way around creases on the tube. I actually had to ripe down to the first one to free the poster... there are two lines of rippled and torn paper going the length of the poster.

Any chance of a replacement? I'll gladly return the damaged one in the tube a new one came in....

Ok, getting ready to run Master of the Fallen Fortress tomorrow night for some friends; this is our first foray into Pathfinder, and we are looking forward to it. This module comes with six full-page 1st level pregens of the new Iconics from the Advanced Players Guide.... groovy, printed them out and they are ready to go.

Was there a previous module/book with the earlier Iconics at level 1? I've got the ones that are are 2-3 a page from the Adventure Paths with the basic minimum; I was looking for full-page spreads like from the APG.... anyone?

Thanks!

Per subject; please cancel my subscription to Pathfinder.

For the record; everything about Pathfinder continues to be top-notch, and I will return again. Just doing some trimming to the old budget, as so many people are doing. Thanks.
