Please cancel my Pathfinder RPG subscription. No complaints and I will continue to purchase products!

The Last Dragon.

"Who's the Master?"
"Sho'Nuff!"

Do you have the power of the glow?

My hands down favorite is the black dragon.

Just purchased a subscription to the Pathfinder RGP. I heard that subscribers have access to the Bestiary II PDF, but I do not. Anyone have any idea on what I need to do to fix this? Thanks!

Character creation guidlines:

Level 2

20 point buy

1000 gp to buy equipment and magic items.

Please feel free to ask any questions at all.

Yay! I guess my first question is how do I create an alias?

I'm considering half-elf bard, possibly rogue...

*signs up* I can meet the posting requirements and will remain active. I have always wanted to try PBP!

I'm not sure I understand the benefit of enchanting an item that you have an arcane bond with. Is the only benefit that you don't need the pre-req item creation feat to enchant it? The way I read it, it costs the same as enchanting a non-bonded item, but only the wizard who crafted it can use it? Am I reading this right?

As a person who runs a lot of online games via MapTool, I really get a lot of use out of the art in the books. WotC used to make all of their art free on their website. Is this something that Paizo may be able to do? I love the art and would like to use it in my online Pathfinder games, but I hate smashing my books in my scanner. Just bringing it up as this would be a boon to those of us who play online.

I just got concerned by the product not being on the shelves for casual gamers to see and take a peek at. The guy I talked to at the LGS said that he thinks Pathfinder is "awesome," but couldn't stock it due to competition from online sales, especially the PDF versions (forgot to say he talked about PDF's in my original post).

To me, it seemed like he wanted to stock it, but doing so was not profitable.

I agree that you can get all RPG's pretty cheap from Amazon or whatever, so I don't know what the difference is. I just hate to see such a great game not get any shelf-time at the gaming stores. A lot of casual gamers won't get to experience Pathfinder if the books are only available online.

My local gaming store has been in business for over 20 years. It is located in a university town and gets lots of business. I was in today looking to pick up some new dice, and I asked the employee on duty if the store stocked any Pathfinder stuff. He told me that he thinks Pathfinder is a great system but it is really hard for them to stock it in the store because people can buy the books online cheaper than the gaming store can get them from the distributor.

At first I thought that this isn't really a problem for me as I can just order the books online, but then I got to thinking. If the gaming stores don't have any incentive to carry the books, a lot of people will NEVER hear about Pathfinder. Pathfinder is a great system that many people will never come to know if it is not readily available in hobby/gaming stores.

I concede that my above conclusion is the result of one anecdotal interaction with a clerk at my local gaming store, but it does make me wonder if availability in gaming stores is an issue and if Pathfinder is missing some customers by not being on the shelves.

I am a self-confessed rulebook addict. I have a really hard time not purchasing an RPG book that I think might have some crunch in it. In fact, I have owned nearly every official published D&D book since the beginning of second edition (was working on my 4th edition collection until I realized how bad that game is). After my disgust with 4th edition, I found Pathfinder.

I absolutely love the Pathfinder ruleset, I really really do. I also like the Pathfinder Pantheon (good job with that!). However, I pretty much only run games in my home-brew setting. I know that the Pathfinder Campaign Setting is solid, but I have just always felt more comfortable creating my own little space to play in.

As it stands right now, the only products that I am really interested in are the core PFRPG rulebooks. I may buy a module or AP every now and then just for some ideas, but I don't really need any of the other stuff.

I am concerned because I am not sure what products I need to purchase to ensure that I have a majority of the rules. For instance, the upcoming Adventurers Armory Companion seems like a must have, even for people not using Golarion. On the other hand, a lot of the Companions seem Golarion specific.

How does one who is not interested in the setting, ensure that he does not miss out on a lot of crunchy goodness? I know I have been rambling, so I hope you get what I am trying to ask. I really don't mind missing out on fluff, but I don't want to miss out on any of that tasty crunch!

Look at it this way.

Your base attack bonus is +11. You get multiple attacks at +6 and +1, so your overall bonuses are:

+11/+6/+1

Two Weapon Fighting gives you an attack with an off-hand weapon, and reduces the penalties so that all your attacks with both primary and secondary weapons are -2/-2 (assuming light in off-hand). Your to hit now looks like this.

Primary: +9/+4/-1
Off Hand: +9

Improved Two Weapon Fighting gives you a second attack with a -5 penalty.

Primary: +9/+4/-1
Off-Hand: +9/+4

Greater Two Weapon Fighting gives you a third attack with a -10 penalty.

Primary: +9/+4/-1
Off-Hand: +9/+4/-1

Your God of Knowledge,
Nethys

Well, I was trying to make it much more complicated than that wasn't I....

The correct answer is +9/+4/-1 (main hand) and +9/+4/-1 (off hand).

If this is correct, why does the -2 stack with the second and third off-hand shots, but the -5 does not stack with the third?

Just making sure I have the math right. Let's say a fighter with a BAB of +11/+6/+1 has TWF, Imp TWF, Greater TWF, and TWF Rend.

With BAB of +11, while using a light weapon in his off-hand, which of the following would be correct?

1:
+9 primary (-2 TWF)
+4 primary (-2 TWF)
-1 primary (-2 TWF)
+9 off-hand (-2 TWF)
+4 off-hand (-2 TWF, -5 Imp TWF)
-6 off-hand (-2 TWF, -5 Imp TWF, -10 Greater TWF)

2:
+9 primary (-2 TWF)
+4 primary (-2 TWF)
-1 primary (-2 TWF)
+9 off-hand (-2 TWF)
+6 off-hand (-5 Imp TWF)
+1 off-hand (-10 Greater TWF)

3:
+9 primary (-2 TWF)
+6 primary (no penalty)
+1 primary (no penalty)
+9 off-hand (-2 TWF)
+4 off-hand (-2 TWF, -5 Imp TWF)
-6 off-hand (-2 TWF, -5 Imp TWF, -10 Greater TWF)

4:
+9 primary (-2 TWF)
+6 primary (no penalty)
+1 primary (no pendaly)
+9 off-hand (-2 TWF)
+6 off-hand (-5 Imp TWF)
+1 off-hand (-10 Greater TWF)

Or are not of these correct?

Also, for the purposes of TWF Rend, must a person make alternating attacks, with rend only coming into effect when a primary and off-hand weapon hit consecutively? Or can a person rend in any full attack that a primary and off-hand weapon hit, regardless of whether the hits were consecutive?

Thanks in advance!

Do your rounds per day go by your normal Con, or your Con while raging? Thanks in advance!

Does it stack with weapon focus, weapon specialization, etc?

Can someone post a link to the blog. I can't find it, I are teh stupid.

Can someone post a link to this blog? I have been searching for it but have had not luck. I are teh stupid.

If a cleric channels positive energy in a fight to heal his allies who are in melee with some baddies (let's say orcs for instance), do the orcs get healed too? They are living creatures.
