I would think that if you're searching for secret doors there's a good chance you're going to find hidden adversaries as well.
Personally, and maybe this isn't the best place to put this, but personally, I would just as soon that no settings book should contain any rules elements at all. Strictly "here's Absalom (or Kyonin or Varisia or Brevoy or whatever)" or "here's what we think we know about the gods" or whatever else about the setting, but nothing about character or class options or any other rules element. Seems way too late for that now though. :-(
You wanna buy a watch? I know you need a watch, 'cause if you had a watch, you'd know it's night time, and night time ain't no time to be in this neighborhood!
Our PF2 'Abomination Vaults' campaign continues on Sunday. Last session (3 1/2 hours) was entirely spent in combat with a lich, and we're still nowhere near finished. Lich? What lich?
19 pregens in this file*. 6 "missing": magus, summoner (SOM), psychic, thaumaturge (DA), gunslinger, inventor (G&G). That leaves four more: commander, guardian, necromancer, runesmith (all from future books). From PC1, PC2, RoE, and WoI. My hope is that we'll get the six "missing pregens sooner rather than later, and the four "future" ones when those books come out or soon after. I would say that the pregens serve two purposes: ease of use for new and not-so-new players who want to try these classes, and and indication for character builders (people, not software) of what can be done and what the folks at Paizo might do. So I applaud Paizo eventually having pregens for all classes.
I found it. Thanks.
it seems my last watch of the year has truly ended, as I have received my December shipment. Is it January yet? :-)
I must have been asleep. Where are/will be these two new classes detailed?
Interesting. If I'm reading UnArcane's spreadsheet correctly, before the War of Immortals in PF2E there were 365 living deities. After the War, there are 384 living deities, and 19 dead ones. Not sure I understand why there are 19 more living deities, or what caused the 19 dead ones to be dead (Gorum we know, of course).
A quick announcement for everyone: due to a huge storm that hit the PNW, our warehouse is without power. Just needs a light spell, right?
I doubt it. Amazon has it on DVD, but doesn't say anything about 4K. Has a Blu-ray, too, but it's Region 2 and won't play in NA. I should get both Remo and Buckaroo Banzai. :-)
Which bureaucracy is in charge of giving domains to the gods? :-)
Lately I spend most of my time wearing flannel pants, a t-shirt, and an "emperor Palatine" robe. When I go out I switch to long pants in the winter, and usually shorts in the summer, although like others here I used to hate wearing shorts. Or white socks, which now don't bother me at all.
My close circle of friends is mostly conservative, except for the elder sister of the main family, who is constantly telling us "no politics" at the slightest hint of anything on that subject. <shrug>
Ah, but do you have the overwhelming need to bring all of those books with you to every game, even when you know that you won't need half of them? Nope.
This may be the straw that breaks the camel's back for me. I've been considering cancelling all my subscriptions and just buying pdfs as they become available. I don't really want to do that, but I'm running out of room for actual books here. And the (mild, I admit) annoyance of having to preorder the hardcovers my OCD insists I need in spite of running out of space is at least enough to make me think about it. :-( I wonder if the same thing will happen with a Remastered Secrets of Magic, assuming such a thing becomes reality.
I wonder if this new archetype is a result of the Godsrain. Perhaps Razmir now really does have a spark of divinity, where he didn't before.
As it stands now, I don't see a pdf listed. So, Paizo, will there be one? Since it's no longer a subscription item, I suppose if I want both a hardcover and a pdf, I'll have to order them separately. Is that the case? No, I see from Katina's post that since I already have the original G&G pdf, I'll get the remastered one automagically. Good. I gather there still be standard, special, and sketch cover editions of this, per the Release Schedule.
Minority maybe. Not alone. :-)
Several of the class archetypes in WoI are clearly intended to be the 2E equivalent of 1E hybrid classes. Bloodrager, for example. Is Seneschal in that group, or is it something completely new?
Mine's not ended, but shifted to watching for the package to arrive.
Found it. This one is by Stephan Grundy. Probably not a direct translation. "A magnificent retelling of humankind's oldest epic adventure". "I am Enzi of Erech, son of Lugalbanda and Rimsat-Ninsum, two thirds god and one third man." :-)
So going through my downloads I found a folder called CommunityUsePackagePathfinderSocietyPregeneratedCharacters. This has four sub-folders: Advanced Class Guide, Core, Occult Adventures, Ultimate Combat. The classes from the Advanced Players Guide are missing. Where can I find them? (BTW, I can't find any files to download in the Community Use Section of the site. In fact, the Community Use link, which was there ten minutes ago, now seems to be gone. All I have is Blog, Forums, PaizoCon, and Guidelines. That last links to a message from Lisa Stevens and a bunch of FAQs. Not what I'm looking for.
Here's Zadim at level 4 for PF1 from Herolab online. I think the only difference between this and the Paizo character sheet is that his Acrobatics, Stealth, Survival and Swim skills are a few points lower than on the Paizo sheet. I ran out of skill points, and I'm not sure where the higher levels on Paizo's sheet come from. Zadim 4

I've decided that I need to re-read Brave New World and 1984, so those are now added to my list. Also have to find Gilgamesh (a translation of the original epic) which I intended to read a while ago but didn't get to.
Wasn't there a "pdf to foundry" module at one time? Is that no longer available? So it seems like I pay the extra 70 bucks, or I manually create whatever journal entries from the pdfs aren't in the 80 dollar version. Is that how it goes? I may have to rethink this whole subscription thing. Seems like maybe the best option is to cancel all my subs, buy pdfs of everything that isn't produced for foundry (rulebooks and settings books mostly, I think) and buy the deluxe edition for each full season of PFS stuff.
Zadim is the iconic Slayer (hybrid Rogue/Ranger) in PF1E. In PF2E, with the advent of War Of Immortals, he's an Avenger (Rogue with the Avenger Dedication, which doesn't seem to give him any Ranger abilities. Here he is at level four: Zadim 4

You can download a character sheet for Zadim in Paizo's Community Use Package for PF1E Iconics, if you can find it. Oh, here it is.
Hm. Dumb noob question: I have a bunch of Paizo subs, so I get all the pdfs for pfs scenarios for free. If I buy this, I've basically spent $70 I don't need to spend. If I buy the other full season edition I don't spend the extra 70 bucks, but I have to manually (I think there's a way to do it, not sure) import the pdfs in order to have everything that's in this version. Is that right? If so, what do I need to do to import them?
My watch is ticking.
My watch is ended because my shipment arrived today. Now I have a novel to read. :-)
Re: Korean War.. I strongly recommend This Kind Of War, by T.R. Ferrenbach. "You may fly over a land forever; you may bomb it, atomize it, and wipe it clean of life - but if you desire to defend it, protect it,and keep it for civilization, you must do this on the ground, the way the Roman Legions did - by putting your soldiers in the mud." Another: "A people [America] that does not prepare to fight should then be morally prepared to surrender. To fail to prepare soldiers and citizens for limited, bloody ground action, and then to engage in it, is folly verging on the criminal." Currently I've progressed in the "Hunter Imperium" series; I'm on "Rogue". Also reading "Harnmaster Kethira", a new rules set for Harnmaster.
Vampire squirrels.
More reading. Progressive Myths. The Complete Book Of Passed Hand Bidding. Harnmaster Kethira rules. Building an HMK character sheet for Oshynn of Llysgaled from the stories about her I've found around the net. Oshynn is a largely self-taught (though apprenticed for a while to an independent (i.e. not via a Chantry) Fyvrian Viran (Master)) Fyvrian Shek-Pvar (Wizard) who has a knack for solving crimes -- and a vision of her future as a Grey Shek-Pvar tied somehow to the Earthmaster site at Anisha. (Fyvria is the magic of Earth, one of the six elements on the Pvaric Wheel). Oh, and War of Immortals, too. :-)
Every subscriber got that email on October 10th. Don't pay any attention to Visa holds -- they're just checking to make sure your payment method is valid. They'll do it again when your order comes up in the shipping queue. Hold was issued for me on the 22nd, the actual ship date was yesterday. Since today is the last day, theoretically, I'd say if you don't get your shipping notice today, fire off another message to CS on Monday (you can do it earlier, but they're closed on weekends, so they won't see it).
It should be fairly easy to upgrade a low level NPC to whatever level you need.
At a guess I'm about 50-50 on tracking. I suspect the recent "not trackable" notification is Paizo's acknowledgement that UPS has fallen down on the job. Paizo can't fix that, and it doesn't look to me like UPS wants to bother. <shrug>
Hm. Petty Officer, to new Seaman: Go down to Engineering and get me a bucket of steam.
There has been a ripple in the Force: my order has shipped. Now my watch shifts from "has it shipped yet?" to "is it here yet?" :-)
Summoning the Oliphaunt is... probably not a good idea. Be careful what you wish for. :-)
My watch begins.
I first heard the term "unplayable" in the context of Duplicate Bridge, which for those of you who don't know is a card game. My reaction was "in this context 'unplayable' means 'I don't like it'". Seems that applies to Pathfinder as well. :-)
Is this going to be available on GoG? Never mind. No Mac version, so I'm out.
Let's also not forget that Mystic and Witchwarper are also going to be 4-slot casters unless nerfed. So that's 4, 6, 2, 1 What the heck is a Witchwarper? And when are we supposed to get these classes?
IMO, if you're trying to build a semi-realistic world, you should look at economics. If you're trying to build a background for "adventures" where economics plays little or no part, then looking at economics is less useful. As for which real-world school of economics is correct, IMO there can be only one. :-) Of course, that one is disparaged by those who want to use "economic policy" as a political weapon -- which is most bankers and almost all politicians. Free market capitalism (not crony capitalism or socialism/capitalism hybrids or any of the other versions of "not really capitalism" out there) is the only thing that works, because it's the only thing based on how people actually behave. But I don't really want to argue about it, so I'll shut up now. :-)
This will be a good month. :-)
I'd be tempted to say they need a horizontally wider array of tags that tell you *why* something is uncommon, rather than just that it is, at a glance.Oh my god, yes please. As someone who is using my own setting, untangling why things are uncommon/rare can be a pain. IMO, uncommon for purely reigonal/access reasons (I.E Katanas) shouldn't be a thing, and it should be it's own tag. Ideally tagged with said reigon, as with ancestry weapons. If it were me, I'd tag weapons from the other side of the world as either uncommon or rare, the latter if for some reason they're uncommon even in their own region, and I would increase the price by some significant percentage. OTOH, to my mind, pricing of things in Golarion makes no economic sense, nor does the economic system. 'It's a game' you say. Yeah, I get that. Still makes no sense. I would add that katanas are probably uncommon even in Minkai, because if Golarion follows the Japanese tradition such weapons are restricted to Samurai. If Golarion doesn't follow that tradition, then I suppose katanas would be common -- in Tian Xia.
Isn't Tamily's fishing camp off in that direction (West) somewhere?
Speaking of music... is the School of Rock only for Earth Mages?
