I am looking for a race with similar humanoid characteristics and abilities as Gith. It doesn't have to look the same in appearance (as long as it's medium humanoid, two arms, etc.). I just want to use the stats for a race and use the Gith for the fluff. Thanks!

I have Alien Archive but haven't had a chance to do a deep dive yet.

I've searched the inter webs for a conversion of the classic Dragon 309/Dungeon 100 Githyanki Incursion campaign to Pathfinder and have come up empty.

Anyone have any content or links to share, to either conversions of the races/characters or the adventure?

Greatly appreciated.

I'm just curious whether adventure cards would aid a Gamemaster running a Pathfinder adventure or campaign.

I am getting ready to embark on my second Pathfinder campaign in 2014, Reign of Winter. I only have two players. We are about to begin Chapter Six of Rise of the Runelords Anniversary Edition. Currently, both players run two characters to have a well-rounded party of four. Its working well but is slow.

However, I would like to hear about other options for our next campaign. Ideally, I'd like each of them to run one character each. I can think of four options:

1. Give them mythic characters
2. Give them gestalt characters
3. Support them with more NPCs
4. Give them some home-brewed power boosts (max HP, double con bonus, etc.

I'd really like to run the campaign exactly as is (lazy). Perhaps it is best to have them run two characters each again.

Thoughts, idea, suggestions?

Can someone please direct me to the definitive Jade Regent PFRPG Conversion Guide?

I only wish Paizo would make a simple PDF conversion guide for download (not easy, I know, but I would pay for it).

Thanks.

My wish is for a fully realized Pathfinder Steampunk Campaign Setting. I want it all. Great world setting, new races, classes, equipment and fully optimized for the PFRPG. And yes, I want it in a full color hardcover.

Any chance someone's got that in development?

I'd help kickstart it...

Can someone recap the news from Saturday's event?

Is there a list of all published PFRPG campaign settings?

I know there is the World of Avlis.

I need a brief encounter on the elemental plane of water for a party of 6 th level PCs. Any suggestions?

My players are tired of dungeon crawling and want a chance to use their skills - very admirable. I've got all of the Gamemastery modules but haven't had a chance to read many of them.

Any recommendations for good skill challenges as opposed to combat situations?

I'm running a Pathfinder Beta game set in my original campaign setting. One of my PCs, a 3rd level half-orc druid, contacted lycanthropy from Haidar the Accursed's bite.

How do I go about adjucating this - I want the PC to become a standard wereleopard, but not a Katapehsi wereleopard.

These are my thoughts/questions:

Features that the PC would gain in all forms : +2 Wisdom, Iron Will, Scent, ability to commune with shared animal type (not sure if you want it restricted to leopards, or expanded to "big cats" (Tigers, Lions, Leopards, Jaguars)). I forget, off the top of my head, if the base animal's feats are available in all forms, or just hybrid an animal. In either case, those two for leopard are Weapon Finesse and Alertness (I don't know if that exists in Pathfinder - it was +2 Spot and Listen, so it's probably akin to Skill Focus : Perception). Features in animal and hybrid form: +6 Str, +8 Dex, +4 Con, DR 5/Silver, Natural attacks - 2 claws & 1 bite, the latter of which can transfer Curse of Lycanthropy. In animal form only - Pounce and Rend.

The main concern is how exactly he is going to be treated in terms of level/ECL. By all accounts, being an afflicted lycanthrope ascribes a +2 level adjustment, which, while acceptable, will devastate his usefulness as a druid for a while, possibly permanently. The stat increases and DR while in hybrid form are nice, and while I didn't see anything that implies that casting spells and communicating is impossible in hybrid form, I can understand that being implied/requiring a feat (like Natural Spell), so a level adjustment wouldn't be unfair - it would just make him another melee character... sometimes... if he makes the Control Shape check (which, unless I level and can take ranks in it, would be a DC 15 Wisdom check every time I think - about a 60% chance at current, assuming the +2 to Wisdom from lycanthropy), with a less-than-impressive BAB (albeit he'd do a lot of damage at 1d12 +10 on a hit with Overhand Chop with his greataxe) and mediocre AC and HP.

The other thing is I don't know if he would need, after the ECL, to take levels of Leopard as Natural lycanthropes do (which is why they're cruddy casters and rarely have class levels in anything divine or arcane). All of that would basically put him 4 levels behind such that at level 7 for the rest of the party, He would have 5 HD and 3 levels of druid still, have a terrible +3 BAB, and probably 30 HP including Toughness.

Any thoughts?

Can an arcane caster detect the effect of a spell in place on Hallowed ground from a spellcraft check, and if so what is the DC?

This begs the question of whether wizards can make spellcraft checks to detect spells cast by divine casters in Pathfinder?

I'm launching my first PF Beta game tomorrow and I'm still prepping. Is anyone willing to share any 1st level beta PCs? I'm sure a few curious souls will show up on the spot and want to dive into the game with a pregen.

If you're willing to email them to me:
unearthedarcana@verizon.net

Thanks.

The beta rules do not specify whether the summon monster list is restricted by alignment.

Looking for players in the area. Post here and I'll send you a link the campaign wiki.

I'm developing a campaign in which some powerful creatures and their organization battle forces and magic of shadow that are trying to consume the material plane.

What forms of magic oppose shadow magic and the plane of shadow in Pathfinder and/or 3.5E?

Is there a handy list of talking points or highlights to help players quickly read and understand the benefits of Pathfinder and major changes from 3.5?

Does anyone have any house rules for leveling up players without giving out XP per session?

I know that's common in online PBP games...

The subject says it all. Any recommendations?

As a new PFRPG DM, I'm looking for tips on quick conversions at the table for monsters and statted NPCs using skills, feats, spells, etc. that have been updated or replaced in the PFRPG.

A quick way to calculate an NPC's perception check, for example, would be very helpful. Thanks.

Is anyone hosting or posting a master list of monsters, spells, magic items, etc. that appear in published Pathfinder and Gamemastery adventures, rulebooks, supplements and the AP?

I consider myself a fairly seasoned 3.5E DM that wants to run the Pathfinder RPG Beta rules with my 3.5E campaign setting and official sourcebooks (WotC and others).

Any guidance on the following questions would be appreciated:

1. Do I have to read and memorize the Beta paperback from cover to cover to use it (in other words, is everything changed)?

2. How different are the basics of combat and spellcasting?

3. If I "pick and choose" rule mods (like channeling energy), are these balanced with 3.5 on their own or only within the context of the entire beta ruleset.

4. Do I force my players to buy the beta as well, or can they use their existing 3.5 PHB?

Thanks.

Today (08/15/07) I purchased a subscription to the Gamemastery Modules. I assumed that Seven Swords of Sin would be my first subscription delivery, but my purchase receipt stated Gallery of Evil.

Paizo- can you clarify what my first module will be, because I will purchase Seven Swords of Sin separately if I'm not getting it as part of my subscription.

Thanks.
