Well i make a mistake and i post a blank message :(
Sorry.
Well i just want to say : we have a lot of good music for RPG like witcher 1,2 and 3 - Pilalrs of eternity - Bastion - alien isolation and more video game.
I do mix of music for RPG table if someone needs. You can find it here.
If you need music for a 1920 ambiant you have caro esmerald or Bioshock 1 and 2 with old music.
(Sorry for my English but i want to help the Paizo team then i try to do a feedback)
Hi guys,
My table (5 players and me) plays lot of games and tests all classes. (We play a game with level 1
To be simple
What we like :
- The concept of the psychic class from paizo it's good. We like all classes except the spiritualist (Not the mechanics but BG)
- They like the concept of all classes but... (See "we hate")
- The concept of Burn but... (See "we hate")
- The BG of all classes except the spiritualist
What we hate :
- The spiritualist. The concept of this class, it's just... To be haunted, it's not a class, it's a state. you gain power from the haunt but before the haunt you are a farmer, a warrior or something like that. (I hope ou understand what i try to explain)
- All classes have problems like :
The psychic with the Discipline of Pain and Painful Resurgence. You take 10 damage and you gain 1 point in your phrenic pool. Totally useless when you are level 1 or 2.
Kineticist with the burn system : Complex to use because it's like a new pool of something etc...
The medium and the system of the spirit number and influence on the character. (My players are really confused whe he tries to use him)
- All class need a little boost.
- They want a psychic warrior who can create weapons (Somone says he wants to create balista...)
- Class like mesmerist is just too gadget.
- The medium after 2 years. It's over 9000 spirits !!
Conclusion :
Today, the system it's too confuse. Rule need to be clear
No mesmerist...
They like all classes (Except the mesmerist) but a lot of capacity are really strange or difficult to use during a game for my players.
The map for me its not really realistic. A lot of things can block the invade. Elves from Kyonin, In ustalav the Lich. In river Kingdom, we have the kingdom from kingmaker (if its not a fail, this kingdom is really powerfull), The cheliax and his devil ally (devil never accept that invade... Asmodeus has a plan...) All runelords..., In brevoy, Choral never accepts to lose... Aashaq same thing... Heroes from Ustalav (They block the return of the Whispering Tyran)
And more and more and more ... it s interesting but not enough for me
the object uses the life of the user and give a power.
For Lazarx :
Sorry I don't have a real object. I continue to search and I have this idea about an object you can use just a short time because he uses the life of the user.
I see a couple of things wrong with this right off the bat...
first it is basically just a couple of spells in a can with a bonus on intimidate checks and a bit of additional flavor text thrown in.
Second the construction requirements don't make sense... why must the creator have ranks in climb??? (should probably be intimidate)
third you change the name of your item in the description section (going from mask of pure madness to mask of sheer madness).
the second and third points above show the value of editing, careful editing would have easily discovered and fixed those problems.
Other problems are the name, if it is a mask of madness why doesn;t it make people mad (crazy), and the physical description of the item, which is 15 words long and lacking in any real coherent description other then it is a black mask.
Mask of the pure madness Aura strong necromancy and transmutation[evil]; CL 7th
Slot head;; Price 20400 gp; Weight 3 lbs.
Description
The mask of sheer madness is a black mask where several faces of terror appear.
On command, this powerful object can cast the fear spell at will. When you use this power, a terrible scream can be heard by anyone can see the wearer. It continually grants a +10 competence bonus on intimidation checks.
The wearer may cast ray of enfeeblement three times per day, exactly as if he had cast the spell of the same name but it reduces only the wisdom of the target.
The mask is infused with evil, and as a result it bestows one negative level on any non evil creature wearing it. This negative level persists as long as the mask is worn and disappears when the mask is removed. The negative level cannot be overcome in any way (including restoration spells) while the mask is worn.
Construction Requirements Craft Wondrous Item, Creator must have 10 ranks in the Climb skill, fear, ray of enfeeblement, creator must be evil; Cost 10200 gp
Hi all,
Sorry for my english.
My first feedback about the new class. I’m the GM and i have ten players. I post here the conclusion about the witch class.
This class is really … bad. All players and me are agree. This class is really bad, not attractive.
All reasons :
Again a class with arcane spell and the same style of wizard or sorcerer.
You can’t custom the witch.
If 2 players want create a witch, you have the same character, all spell and special power doesn’t change.
Witch is just another wizard type or sorcerer.
Hex is simple and really not innovative.
This witch is a spell class. It’s a problem because with the pathfinder rule you have 4 spell classes, 4 no spell classes and 2 mixed classes. With the new classes, you have 4 new classes with spell (i don’t know if the inquisitor is a full spell class or a mix class) and it’s not a good idea. Try to create a new style of class with the witch. You have too much class with a spell type evolution.
An example of witch :
A witch can use different power. She can use transform spell. Maybe you can give her a transformation as a rat or a crow. (Directly in the first level ? why not).
A witch can use dark power of nature but you can divide in different path.
The path of beast : the witch use the beast of nature. She can gain lot of power as a werewolf or can Summon nature’s ally.
The path of spirit pact: The witch starts with a pact with a powerful spirit. She gain spell and power. You can choose different spirits (Evil spirit of nature, …). All spell is not selected. All spell is linked with the spirit.
The path of hex: The witch talks with spirit and can call them to curse all enemies.
The path of elemental: you can call spirit of elemental and you can summon them to fight for you. (Something like that)
Path of charm and madness: You use power of nature to charm enemies.
It’s a fast example but you can start with this idea. Maybe other players can create a new style of witch ?
Maybe I try to create a complete example the next week
I'm a beginner and I hope to learn to be a good author.
It’s my first scenario for paizo and maybe a good soul can give me any advices? :)
Title
The evil winter of Falcon’s Hollow
Introduction
In this winter in the small village of Falcon’s hollow, the day of the father winter will be celebrated. Many travelers stay here because they are blocked by snow or are attracted by the festivities. However this year, the winter is unnatural hard around this village and the fear can be perceived on the face of peasant.
Summary
The PC is dispatched by the pathfinder society to find any clue about the eternal ice idol in the Falcon's Hollow. The adventure starts with a festival of winter father in Falcon’s Hollow. A pack of wolf with a satyr attacks the village. They discover that this satyr has a bond with the artifact and the daughter of mayor has been kidnapped. The village peasants give some informations about the mountain and a cursed woodcutter camp.
After a day of travel, the group encounters a band of gobelin. They try to destroy the bridge and gain time for the satyr master. The combat have a limited time and if the bridge is destroyed, they must make a detour to continue the chase.
Near the woodcutter camp, the curse of snow attacks the group. An enigma and a fight with ice zombie are started. All zombies continue to attack if the group doesn’t find the word to cancel the curse temporally.
After they find the word to cancel the curse, the group must defeat the ice elemental in the woodcutter. He discovered the ancient book of the woodcutter chief. They know the position of tumulus.
The group continues to travel and maybe encounter a creature during the travel (test of random encounter). The tumulus is guarded by satyrs but PCs have the advantage of the surprise to defeat them.
For each encounter, the group has a penalty if they have been too slow. The ritual is finished if the group is too slow but they can defeat him before he takes the news ice witch in the mountain.

Well i like this priest style but again you have all priest with big armor.
In pathfinder, all priests send a peace message with a plate armor and a big weapon.
Like every other iteration of D&D before it.
If you want, there's the evangalist and warpriest (Green Ronin's Advanced player's Manual) and the Cloistered Cleric (Unearthed Arcana)
Ok you need again some rule to change the DD priest style. I like the idea of the domain and the team of paizo update this rule.
BUT a priest is an image of a god and now if you do another priest of Sarenrae, you can easly do a priest with a big axe and a big armor with spike. No limitation.

a) not every priest is a priest of peace.
b) you noticed that there is no "plate armor" in the statblock? Kyra is using medium armor.
Yes but it's not the real problem. Kyra give a good image of Sarenrae but with this rule the choice of the god don't define the style of combat of a priest. The god of a priest give only some special power but the dogma of this god give no limitation for equipment.
Well i thinks it's better to give some advantage for a priest of sarenae when he use the special weapons of this god
Example: A priest of death god gain a special power when he don't use an armor and special attack with a scythe.
Today, the difference between a priest is only the spell list.
I can see where you're going with this
It's similar to the Ranger Combat Styles
Unfortunately, that link does not show the table - the image is missing :(
Strange when i click on the link i have the table well i can explain it.
the table shows when you can take a feat and it's the same as the wizard spell table.
Well an example: when you have +3 with your bba you can choose art martial feat level 2
veebles wrote:
Maybe a synopsis of your proposal would help.
Something for quick and easy comparison to the Ranger Styles.
Ok i try to write it for the next week.
veebles wrote:
Have you thought about maybe chaining the action feats?
So if you roll one successfully, it opens the door to use another the next round, or a choice of which to do so?
Yes you can use an art martial technique for each attack you have.
Example:
If you have two attack, you can execute two art martial technique in a round.
I think it's important to give more possibility in fight.
veebles wrote:
It just appears to be too complex, because of the size and layout of post.
Well, to me anyway lol :)
lol :D Well, it's not easy to resume this big idea :D but i try to write a synopsis just for you :) i m
veebles wrote:
Is this meant to replace the core feat system altogether for all classes or just one class?
It's for all classes. If you have +2 in your BBA you gain a combat feat.
I have a very big list of art martial technique (97).
I post a new system for pathfinder. This system is based on rules from tome of battle. For me, the long list of feat is an error because you have 200 feats (all books) but you have a very limited number of feats. If you don’t take a combat feat, you are really penalized in your adventure.
It's very difficult to add a system with this forum and i hope you can read it.
Well my system: (Sorry for my English)
IF you use it, delete all feats for combat.
- You gain a combat gift for each 2 BBA point (A fighter level 20 gain 10 combat gift) and a table show when you can take a gift of a level (The “x” mean you can take a gift of this art martial level)
In this system, you have a new type of combat feat. It’s Art martial technique. Art martial technique gives different capacity and increase the fun during a fight.
When you want use an art martial technique, you need to do a roll versus the art difficulty with D20 + BBA + wisdom modifier. If you fail, you can’t do it and you take the effect of the aftermath.
You have a little list of feats for this system and some art martial technique art. I know it’s not perfect. But I have a big list of art martial technique but I don’t post it now because I must translate it in English. But I can do it if paizo (or users of this forum) need more examples.
Well now an example with feat of pathfinder with this system :

one extra attack each round with the second weapon.

you can get one extra attack per round with that weapon.

My first post and i hope it's not to late to suggest some rules for the cleric class and the paladin.
Priest :
The priest class needs a real change because if you have 2 or more players with this class you have the same character. All priests can use all armor and shield and the list of speel don”t change really.
Well if you see this image from the forgotten realms, each priest has a special style. You can see the first priest of Mystra (Goddess of magic) with a robe and the second priestess of Baine (God of Tyranny) with a big armor.
Today with this class, you can’t do a priest with this special style. Well for me a priest of the goddess of beauty with a big armor and a big axe, it’s ridiculous 
Well, the change that I suggest is simple and don’t need a big work.
Delete the description about Weapon and Armor Proficiency and for each domain give some bonus and some weapon and armor training.
Exemple :
Earth Domain
Deities: Abadar, Torag.
Caster
Type 1:
Armor training: Gain the feat heavy armor training
Weapons training: the priest can use all weapons of hammer group (See page 27-28 Weapons training)
Special ability: N/A
Class skill bonus: N/A
Type 2:
Armor Training: Gain the light armor training
Weapons training: N/A
Special ability: Bless of the earth (Gain +4 for all save type versus poison, disease and speel with the type earth).
Class skill bonus: N/A
If you want construct other domain with the same system:
For each domain, I give 3 points:
A weapons training (See page 27-28 to see all group of weapons) : 1 point
A exotic weapons training = 2 points
Feat: light armor proficiency = 1 points
Feat: medium armor proficiency = 2 points
Feat: heavy armor proficiency = 3 points
New skill class = 1 point
Feat with no condition: 2 points
Special Faculty (Not really strong) = 2 points
I like the idea of domain power but I see a problem for the first spell level. You can use it all time. But all spell after it, you can use only a limited time per day. For me, all spell from domain power must be limited each day because I don’t want see all my priest use all time only this first spell.
Level Ability
1st Acid Dart (Su): As a standard action, you can unleash
an acid dart targeting any foe within 30 feet as a
ranged touch attack. The acid dart deals 1d6 points
of acid damage + 1 for every two caster levels you
possess.
[…]
You can increase the difference between priests with a specific list of spell with domain and reduce all general spell.
It’s difficult to see a priest of the goodness of love do the same spell of the god of war. Hey I m the priest of god of war and I can call a fire strike and a priest of the farmer say “And then ? me too…”
For heal spell, I thinks its logic if you have different effect if you heal a simple or a man who pray the same god as you. Well example :
If you heal a man who prays the same god as you, the spell heals with the maximum.
You can apply the same system on the spell “wound” if you do it on a priest or a man who pray the enemy of your deity, your spell do the maximum.
Paladin :
The paladin is only for good god and you don’t have a difference between a paladin of Erastil, god of farming and a paladin of Iomadae.
The difference between gods, it’s domain of this god.
When you create a paladin, you choose a god and you play this paladin differently if you are a paladin of justice or a paladin of freedom.
Use domain for paladin and you have different paladin. For each domain give different power for the paladin. With this system you can do a Paladin for all gods and you can create black paladin for evil god.
Exemple : the paladin choose the earth domain
Paladin domain power:

SPECIAL ABILITIES Darkvision: Tieflings can see perfectly in the dark for up to 60 feet.
Fiendish Resistance: Tieflings have cold resistance 5, electricity resistance 5, and fire resistance 5.
Pass for Human: (Social only) Such a tiefling doesn’t need to succeed at a Disguise check to appear to be human and count as humanoid (human) as well as outsider (native) for all purposes (such as humanoid-affecting spells like charm person or enlarge person). The tiefling does not automatically gain his associated outsider language (but may select it as a bonus language if his Intelligence score is high enough), and he may not select other racial traits that would grant him obviously fiendish features (such as the fiendish sprinter, maw or claw, prehensile tail, scaled skin, or vestigial wings alternate racial traits). This ability alters the tiefling’s type, subtype, and languages.
Prehensile Tail: (Vigilante Only) Many tieflings have tails, but some have long, flexible tails that can be used to carry items. While they cannot wield weapons with their tails, they can use them to retrieve small, stowed objects carried on their persons as a swift action. This racial trait replaces fiendish sorcery.
Skilled: Rakshasa-spawn Tieflings gain a +2 racial bonus on Disguise and Sense Motive checks.
Variant Ability: Your features are subtly malleable, granting you a +2 racial bonus on all Disguise checks.
Weapon Proficiencies: Vigilantes are proficient with all simple and martial weapons, light armor, medium armor, and shields (except tower shields).
Dual Identity:
A vigilante hides his true identity, allowing him to move about social circles and nobility without carrying the stigma of his ruthless actions. In effect, the vigilante has two identities: one is a polite member of society while the other is a skilled and cunning warrior. To keep up this charade, the vigilante usually has two names: his true name, used in polite company, and his vigilante name, used to strike fear in the hearts of those who oppose him. Knowledge checks about one do not reveal information about the other, unless the vigilante’s true identity revealed to the world at large.
The vigilante can start each day in either of his identities, referred to simply as social or vigilante. Changing from one identity to another takes 1 minute and must be done out of sight from other creatures to preserve the vigilante’s secret. Changing identities is more than just changing outfits and clothing (although that is certainly a part of it); the process often also involves applying make-up, altering his hair, and adjusting other personal effects. Furthermore, the change is as much a state of mind as of body, so items such as a hat of disguise and similar spells and effects that change the user’s appearance do not reduce the time required to change identities. Most social talents require the vigilante to be in his social identity, but a vigilante who uses vigilante talents in his social identity risks exposing his secret.
Despite being a single person, a vigilante’s dual nature allows him to have two alignments, one for each of his identities. When in an identity, he is treated as having that identity’s alignment for all spells, magic items, and abilities that rely on alignment. For the purpose of meeting a qualification for a feat, class, or any ability, he is only eligible if both of his alignments meet the requirements. A vigilante’s two alignments cannot be more than one step from each other on a single alignment axis. For example, a vigilante with a lawful neutral social identity could have a vigilante identity that is lawful good, lawful neutral, lawful evil, neutral, neutral good, or neutral evil. If a vigilante is the target of an effect that would change his alignment, it changes both of his alignments to the new alignment.
Any attempts to scry or otherwise locate the vigilante work only if the vigilante is currently in the identity the creature is attempting to locate (or if the creature knows that the two identities are the same individual). Otherwise, the spell or effect has no effect, revealing nothing but darkness, as if the target were invalid or did not exist.
DESCRIPTION
Ahreni is now a woman fully, or mostly fully grown, and has gradually filled out from the emaciated waif that Sandru first met. That said she is still thin and hard, with the lean figure of someone who works every day for their livelihood. Her hair is long and black and has barely ever known the touch of a brush, only a simple twist of string or rudimentary pin to hold it out of her eyes. Ahreni changes clothes regularly, now that Sandru has finally impressed the importance of it on her, but favours sturdy and practical jerkins and trousers over skirts and the embroidered blouses so beloved of varisian caravan followers. Her dress sense and physique have led to Ahreni being mistaken for a boy more than once and her strangely gravelly voice adds to the effect.
She almost always smells of animals, generally the horses she spends most of her time with, which overlays her natural scent unless tackled with serious application of soap and water – something she resists ferociously. The only piece of personal grooming Ahreni does not regularly disregard is cleaning her teeth, which she does ritually every morning and night. As a result her teeth are impressively white in an otherwise sun-darkened face, although an astute observer might notice that she has rather more canines than is normal in humans.
Overall Ahreni looks much like stablehands the world over, practical, somewhat dishevelled and reeking of horses. Whether she would ever be willing to clean up, and what the result would be, is a question that awaits the right time or perhaps the right person.
Background:
Ahreni has been with Sandru Vhiski for years, ever since he set out on his own in the caravaning business. On an otherwise uneventful trip near the Storval Plateau the caravan was encamped one night when it was attacked by a pack of starving wolves who were so hungry that even the usual defenses of fire and loud noises were insufficient to scare them off. Leading the defense from the front, Sandru was busy for the entire skirmish and it was only when the wolves retreated to lick their wounds that he found that the door to the supplies caravan had been opened and two sacks of food, as well as a bottle of fine Chelish brandy and one of his handkerchiefs, were missing.
Being naturally kind-hearted Sandru couldn't bring himself to chase down the thieves and continued the route, writing the supplies off as an investment in a good story that he could tell at the trading posts. That was the last he thought of the matter until nearly a week later when a child caught up with the slow-moving caravan. Covered in dirt and long hair the figure was barely recognisable as a human at all and the guards were about to drive it away when it collapsed in front of them. Closer examination revealed the figure to be a girl, with a massive bruise across her chest and at least six broken ribs. Strangest of all, she clutched Sandru’s handkerchief in one filthy hand.
Over the next two weeks the girl lay in one of the wagons, fighting a deep fever and nearly dying more than once. Most of the caravan sat with her at one point or another and heard how she spoke, sometimes in the common tongue and sometimes in barks and yips more like a dog or wolf than a human being. Eventually the girl pulled through thanks to the magic of the caravan’s Fortune Teller and by the time Sandru came to conclude the caravan and begin a new route the strange girl was a part of the family and his original plan of dropping her off at an orphanage in Magnimar was roundly condemned by the whole caravan.
Madam Vicorsa named the girl ‘Ahreni’ which the fortune teller said meant ‘Angel’ in the old varisian tongue. Ahreni proved to be anything but an angel however, as the group combined their efforts to civilise the wild child. Clothes were gradually accepted, especially as the weather turned colder, but concepts such as regular washing, eating with more than the most basic utensils and manners remained foreign things which Ahreni fiercely resisted. She did show a gift for animals though and was soon the caravan’s horse-master as well as a surprisingly accomplished scout – able to move quietly across almost any terrain and keep the horses moving through some of Varisia’s most inclement weather.
Travellers and wagoneers came and went, as is the nature of the caravans, and eventually Sandru and Ahreni were the only survivors of the original caravan into which the girl had stumbled, near dead, years before. Beginning to slow down a little himself and keen to repay a debt to his adoptive mother Sandru set his new caravan on course to Sandpoint, telling Ahreni that it was about time that she met his mother for herself.
