If Sajan ends up with no weapons in his hand, he can use his Melee skill (1d6 +2) and still using his blessing power to add d12s (and recharge the ones he plays).

Actually he can only add one d12 and recharge that blessing.

Doesn't B eliminate the ability to aid others? Playing a blessing is certain to have an impact on the outcome of the check so B would bar me from playing it.

Actually after rereading the recharge doesn't specify from discard so it would be from hand I believe.

I just want to get clarification for Ekkie's power to draw a card when she discards. If I am reading right she gets to draw if she discards for any reason which seems really powerful, even more so when she adds the recharge.

Just got my AD2 shipment but it is missing the promo card.

Play Tot Flask to put the potion Damiel needs in his hand?

So long as it affects the check, and he has a legal way to play two items on the same check... which he probably doesn't.

What about his "Discard card to add 1d6...if it has the Alchemical trait add..." ability? Could you use Tot Flask to get an item with the alchemical trait to discard?

How can they fit 5 full rows? The broken token one seems like there isn't much wiggle room for the card width at 4.5 rows.

They turn the insert 90 degrees.

Just looked and auction ended because item was removed.

Thanks for the clarification, that was a little unclear to me.

Will there be a FAQ entry/updated rulebook to eliminate the contradictory instructions for banishing the villain? First instruction is banish villain if no other open location, next paragraph says villain escapes if any open location. WotR rulebook page 17, not doing quotes because I am doing this on my phone.

Why would anyone have them sleeved for use then unsleeve them to store them?

*remember* all base set boxes are designed to fit only all unsleeved cards.

The reason they fit unsleeved cards is Paizo didn't consider sleeving when they designed it.

Playing Cards

Anyone can play a card whenever the card allows it....
A specific card’s power may only be used once per check or step....
If a card in your hand does not specify when it can be played, you can generally play it anytime you can play cards, with the exception that during an encounter you may only perform specific actions at specific times.

Couple that with this FAQ that says you can play as many cards as you want between steps.

So yes, you can play a Cure on someone else's turn. On anyone's turn, you can't play it during an encounter. You can play 1 Cure on anyone's "Advance the blessings deck" step. As many Cures as you want/have between anyone's "Advance the blessings deck" step and their "Give a card" step. 1 Cure during their "Give a card" step. As many as you want between their "Give a card" and "Move" step. And so on.

You just can't play it during an encounter, during the "End Your Turn" step, or between explorations if the second exploration is triggered by an "immediate" effect.

So you can play a Cure between explorations if the second one is from something like a blessing or ally?

Anyone else have any problem printing any of these? For some reason I am unable to print the sheet for Damiel, and if I try to print it with other sheets none of them print.

I don't have my cards in front of me but I believe you were right in your initial statement, sort of. You could play Noxious Bomb for your attack, then discard another card to activate Damiels ability, then discard yet another card to activate the ability on Noxious Bomb. Using Daniels bomb throwing would not prevent you from using abilities on cards that were not the discarded for the ability.

Thanks for the quick response.

Just got AD2 and it wasn't in that box either.

Alchemist is definitely a good choice. In the first adventure his single weapon left him pretty vulnerable to enemies that make you discard a random card or recharge your entire hand, fortunately he can add a d6 or two to make up for it. But only having one weapon makes strong case for keeping some of those alchemical bombs around, which are strong enough with him to kill basically anything guaranteed. Spells for utility (hi Cure). Get a healing potion/tot flask combo going as quick as you can. It makes him probably one of the most unkillable characters, which in turn means you can discard blessings and allies to explore as much as you want. Throughout the first adventure our two person party basically didn't have a discard pile with Damiel rolling heal potions at all times. I eventually stopped carrying the Cures, he didn't need them.

With alchemists fire and noxious bombs Daniel has 4 weapons available.

My AD 2 and Add-on deck were shipped separately with all the promos listed as shipping with the Add-on deck. I just received the Add-on deck but the Blessing of Zogmugot card wasn't in the box, all the other promos were.

I got my authorization email on Tuesday but I am still not seeing anything on my account pending or otherwise so was wondering how long that should take.

Hmm...If you click "My Account" in the upper right is "Order History". I think that should be saying "You have one pending order." And if you click "View Your Order History" you should see an order in that with a status of pending. And the order number of that order should match the order number in your email. Are you saying you aren't seeing any of that?

No, I got the authorization email 2 days ago and there is no activity on my account, not even an authorization.

I got my authorization email on Tuesday but I am still not seeing anything on my account pending or otherwise so was wondering how long that should take.

After the issues with the august shipments I was told in an email from Vic that since I paid for the add-on deck and shipping on august 8th that when September shipments were done I would not be charged for for either. In the authorization email you split the add on deck and deck 2 of S&S into 2 packages with all the promo cards added with the add on deck with shipping charges on each one. So why am I being charged to ship the promo cards when they could have been put in the other box with a negligible increase in weight and barely an increase in shipping?

So subscriptions:

1. Cost more than retail price
2. Usually arrive later than retail street date (less often in the U.S, but literally always later in Canada where I am)
3. Give you promos that the FLGS's also get.

Got it.

Not all those things are true at the same time, at least not for everyone. They might be true for you but consider...

1. Cost more than retail price. That depends on where you buy it. I know the closest retail store to me charges MSRP ($59.99 for the Base Set, $19.99 for a deck box). So the Base Set + Character Add-on would have been 79.98. The sub costs me $47.99 for the Base Set, $15.99 for a deck box. With shipping, that is $63.98 So it saves me money. Now, granted I could get it for less from Amazon. I've got a Prime Membership, so I'll even exclude shipping. Say I could get the Base Set for $45 and a deck for $15 (which would be good prices according to camelcamelcamel). That is $60. So Amazon saved me $3.98.

2. Usually arrive later than retail street date. Usually is a strong word. You mentioned your in Canada, so that is a factor, but other than the two times Amazon shipped orders BEFORE retail street date, I think Paizo has typically been delivering before retail street date to most customers. Granted, most of their customers are probably in the US. But even now, you'd probably have a hard time finding it in a local store, especially the character add-on deck which no one seems to have. Street date has come and gone, but Amazon still has it as pre-order, even the Base Set.

3. Your FLGS might be able to guarantee YOU that they'll give you every promo, but they couldn't do that for everyone. They don't get one promo per each product. They get SOME promos from their distributor. So, while they might promise you personally they will give you one of each, they can't do that for everyone because they just won't have enough promos. And potentially they'll have a month where they get no promos at all. Unless of course your FLGS has an...

You pay no shipping from Paizo? $47.99 + $15.99 = $63.98 meaning if that is cost with shipping, no shipping charge. Mine with shipping was $86 and change.

If you received a confirmation email for your subscription earlier this month stating that your shipment should leave our warehouse by the 22nd your S&S Base Set left the warehouse today.

I assume that was flat-out wrong, given I've not received a shipping email with a tracking number?

If it did go out anyhow, was the rest of my subscription order sent along with it?

It seems to be accurate. IF you received a shipping email earlier (I got one 8/7) then if you click on the tracking link in the one you got earlier the info should be updated, mine updated finally after UPS saying they were waiting for the package for 2 weeks.

This IS it. The payment was taken from my account on 8/8 and Erik just said they were hoping to get them by the 22nd.

You might be misinterpreting your credit card statement. They never do that, because, as far as I understand it, it's against the law in the US to do so. What you are seeing probably is the the authorization pre-charge, which makes sure a customer's card has enough credit for when the day comes to actually charge the card.

If you're saying the amount was actually deducted from your account (and not your credit card) then there might actually be something fishy going on on the end of the card provider.

I am not looking at a credit card statement, I am looking at my bank statement, the money WAS taken out of my account on 8/8. I know the difference between an authorization and an actual charge.

I was going to get on here to post a "Where is the ACG shipment I paid for 2 weeks ago?" post but instead I will add my vote on next time letting us, the customers decide instead of making us sit and wonder what is going on. It would have been better if you had at least told us what was going on. Now I just need to wait for my tracking info to change from "Label printed but package not received by UPS."

Actually the answer for me is yes, I did receive my shipping e-mail. They printed a label on the 7th for it, unfortunately UPS still has not received the package.

Mine says the label was printed on the 7th but UPS is still waiting. The playmat supposedly is already on the way and they just authorized payment yesterday.

I ordered an UltraPro playmat and it did not get processed with the PACG subscription. The playmat is still just saying pending.

Alchemist lab and masterwork both give competence bonuses so they wouldn't stack.
