I usually get that message when the download fails to complete. The current size of that Pregens file is slightly over 90 MB. If your file is smaller than that, you might not have it all.

That seems to be it -- I just tried downloading it again, and the download cut off at around 35 MB.

Switched to a different browser -- was using Opera, switched to Firefox -- download worked fine there. Huzzah!

I can't get any of these to open. I've tried downloading this three times over the past hour and a half, none work.

Two suggested rules changes for Lycanthropes:

1) For lycanthropes where the base animal is an aquatic creature, the hybrid form has the aquatic subtype and the amphibious special quality.

2) Lycanthropes in Hybrid form get the Speed and movement types of both the base creature and the base animal.
Ex.: a human wereshark has a Speed of 30 ft., Swim 60 ft.
(This already sorta seems the case, since werebats in hybrid form have a Fly speed, and werecrocodiles in hybrid form have a Swim speed. Was omitting the Swim speed from weresharks in hybrid form a typo?)

Lycanthropes

Lycanthropes in hybrid form have the Speed of the base creature (that is, the base humanoid).

The wereshark does not have a Swim speed in hybrid form, since the base creature (human) does not have a Swim speed.

But the werebat in hybrid form does have a Fly speed, and the werecrocodile in hybrid form has a Swim speed.

Either werebats and werecrocodiles should lose their Flight and Swim speeds in hybrid form, or the wereshark should gain a Swim speed in hybrid form, and the template changed so that lycanthropes in hybrid form have the speeds of both the base creature and base animal.

So when you apply two or more multipliers to a roll, the multipliers are not multiplied by one another. Instead, you combine them into a single multiplier, with each extra multiple adding 1 less than its value to the first multiple. For example, if you are asked to apply a x2 multiplier twice, the result would be x3, not x4.

I would assume the same applies to divisors.

So if a 10th level Ninja with at least 1 point in her Ki pool (which reduces the DC of all Acrobatics rolls to jump by 1/2, and she's treated as always having a running start for jumps) also has the High Jump Ninja Trick (which reduces the DC for all high jumps by half), the end result is that the DC for a high jump is reduced to 1/3rd normal, not 1/4 normal. (So a 15 foot vertical leap would be DC 20.)

Correct?

What action is it to use the Forgotten Trick Ninja Trick? Is it a swift action, like the base uses for the Ki Pool?

Can the Forgotten Trick trick be used multiple times? Or can it only be activated one at a time?
For example, could -- Ki Pool permitting -- a Ninja (with 5 ranks in Acrobatics & Perform/Dance) use Forgotten Trick for Unarmed Combat Training (to gain Improved Unarmed Strike), use Forgotten Trick the next round for Style Master (to gain Janni Style), then use Forgotten Trick the next round for Combat Trick (to gain Janni Tempest)?

The TV Tropes Pathfinder page has this which may give an idea of which language to use for assorted cultures:

I looked into the Alchemist, but it seems rather unsatisfactory how you need to jump through hoops to produce things that do stuff to things which are not you. It also breaks my suspension of disbelief a little to have a daily limit for that sort of thing, which Alchemists do with their extracts.

The tiny devices have delicate clockwork mechanisms that cannot (easily) be rewound in the field, or are powered by batteries/crystals that run out quickly and require a lengthy recharge time?

Long-time lurker, long-time poster, finally playing my first Pathfinder game tonight. Planning on making a human Alchemist (Beast Form or Vivisectionist variant; I think I could actually do both), and I have a question.

Is there a way to make it so the Discoveries an Alchemist has -- specifically, form-altering ones, like Mummification, Preserve Organs, Tentacle, Vestigial Arm, and Wings -- only manifest when your Mutagen is active? Perhaps it's the remake of SPIDER-MAN coming out, but I'm hung up on the image of a one-armed human Alchemist who, when using his Mutagen, gains Vestigial Arm (effectively replacing the lost limb) and Tentacle (acting as a prehensile tail)...

(I was also thinking of pursuing the Master Chymist PrC, but I've seen posts here indicating it has some problems synergizing with Alchemist levels for Discoveries learned and Mutagen duration.)
