[...] Now the math works out when you add in his heritage bloodline adding an additional +2 to his STR [...] The five man I have are at level 7 average [...]

Just to point this out, Orc and Abyssal bloodlines give a +2 to Strength at level 9, which becomes level 11 if he accessed them through the Eldritch Heritage feat line.

That said, I just want to say I agree with Claxon above. It is pretty frustrating when you play a martial character and you spend a lot of time just trying to figure out how to contribute in some situations when the answer isn't, "I full attack.".

Any potion is a potion of interrogation if you put a towel over their face first.

[Replying to Robert Jordan] Following that logic, you would prefer we were selling new players the exact same Core Rulebook that we introduced several years ago, complete with all the problems that we've identified and fixed in the years since? I'm not a fan of that plan.

Actually, I think that would be best. (Hang with me for a second).

(Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that the way WotC handled 3.5 errata?)

I agree with everything you said, chbgraphicarts, with only 1 exception (and only because I don’t think you went far enough).

I think switching between identities should follow the same progression as Bardic Music:
Standard at 1st
Move at 7th
Swift at 13th

And – it would be nice, but not necessary – if there was a last increase to an immediate or free action at 17th or so.

Always keep in mind that a 1st level caster can cast Disguise Self as a standard action with a +10 bonus. A class whose whole shtick is Clark Kent ducking into a phone booth should be as good as a 1st level caster who took one spell.

Lastly, an alternative is to make it longer (no more than a full round action though), but allow a Bluff check to create a diversion to hide and change as a standard action.

Hey! You're in luck. I did this exact thing with my group.

I started off with Dragon's Demand as you did, then:

The campaign fell apart halfway through #3 because I was studying for the CPA exam, but the group actually really wants to pick up where we left off.

Pull your players into #2 by changing the wedding to a celebration for Azmur and Rima's new baby.

Change the fluff a little for #2, describe everything as shadowy instead of woodsy, and place a threatening BBG in the mirror at the end with a glimpse of the falling star hitting Golarion to show the PCs where to go for #3.

After that, read the next adventure before the previous one is done and try to connect them as logically as possible. Dropping a message into the final bad guys possessions from his boss is a time-honored plot hook.

Whatever you do, FLUFF IS KING!

Adventure set on the wide open plains of the steppe? Change the grass to oily black tentacles.
Enemies are goblins? Now they have creepy black soulless eyes from looking into the void.
Trying to recover a giant diamond? It's now a statue made of a dark ebony material that only when the PCs are holding it do they realize it is made from petrified flesh of a creature they can't identify.

Good Luck and remember - be creepy!

Dotting, because now I have to go and look for all of these.

If there is a free copy up for grabs I would be very much interested. Please and thank you!

Cheers

Edit Derp ... just noticed that this was posted in Oct.:( Hopefully there is still a free copy up for grabs.

Yeah, the free copy thing (for the first ten posters) was mentioned on his Facebook page back in October. I just saw it and figured there was no harm in asking, but I understand I am really relying on his generosity as that offer could be considered very expired.

Hello!

If you are still offering a free copy, I would like to take a look. The Undead Summoner and Nightmare Rider Cavalier sound pretty cool!

Hello!

I'm interested in the PDF (a little research into your products before I start writing for the Dragon's Hoard). Sounds hilarious!

I thought Mythbusters actually disproved this?

Wait, here it is: Episode 11

There is still some debate based on how big the ship is and where the unfortunate soul is standing on the ship.

As for him having to swim faster that the ship was sinking in order to escape it - I am not sure it would work that way with (proceed with caution here) real world physics.

For instance, would you have to move faster than the car you are inside of in order to move from the back seat to the front? He would already be moving at the same speed as the ship, I do not believe he would have to move faster than the ship as he is already moving at the ships speed.
