I just began playing with the sheet, I wonder how hard it would be to add a gestalt component. I know it isn't really pathfinder, but I don't often have a full complement of players when we play and we often end up with gestalt characters for survivability.

Yeah it would require those extra two feats. So that one is out. BUt I will look at the rest, thanks guys. Any thoughts on equipment too?

Combat Healer doesn't work and Skill at arms I already have that benefit from being an antipaladin. War sight doesn't seem all that useful either. As for other feats?

I am playing in a game this weekend that is a 3.5 gestalt, but we can bring in Pathfinder classes. We are level 25. We are hunting a Chaotic Good possible dragon. I am bringing an Human Antipaladin/Oracle (Battle) to the mix. I was looking at taking 5 levels of Divine Oracle and 5 levels of pious templar both from 3.5.

Also I took the Tomb-Tainted Soul feat allowing me to heal from Negative energy. I could use some feat advice. Also the antipaladin ability Touch of Corruption doesn't actually say he can use it on himself as a swift action like the paladin ability it is derived from, most likely because the only way for it to heal you in pathfinder would be to be an 8th level cleric with the death domain as a part of the antipaladin, but it makes sense for it to work that way if you so desire so I included that in the description of my abilities.

Like I said I need some feat advice and equipment advice. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I wish I could, but I have a 3 year commitment to the military left.

SMiloDan, I like this version. I am one for options and this is similar to the way the rogue works. I like it.

Actually that is a good idea. Private the game mechanics and leave the role playing public. It is a valid point that they make their money this way and I don't deny them that. To say that someone else allows it, is not a valid argument. Its their product and their choice. If we can keep it private and be allowed to continue I am happy.

I would point out that even if your forum is secure, you also need to worry about the image host, since most forums don't have resources for hosting large images or other files, and Photobucket or the like are very public.

Yes, that is a very good point. Also in reply to some of the posts above. Sharing an entire PDF is bad gaming, afterall I am trying to runt he game, giving them all info is bad. And we can make it private to just the players.

Well I wrote a nice reply, but these crappy forums ate it. So I will say this. Your reasoning is ridiculous. My house can be broken into just as easily and anything can be hacked. To say you are protecting things to the best of your ability should suffice. I am not posting the module, I just want the maps, I can even forgo the argue about the other images. I can describe everything else. I can't describe a grid and for me to have to recreate a grid map is ludicrous. I no longer tabletop game, all of my gaming is online.

Sorry if my reply is a bit raw, the other one was eaten and in a much nicer tone. That's what I get for previewing it and trying to make it sound diplomatic.

For strict legal requirements, look at the bottom of the contents page in your module/whatever. This splits down what's OGL and what's Paizo's Intellectual property. These can be used in line with this:

Community Use Policy

What he said.

Also, please note that while the Community Use Policy specifically allows you to "descriptively reference dialogue, plots, storylines, language, and incidents from products listed in Section 1 of our Community Use Approved Product List at paizo.com/communityuse/products in campaign journals and play-by-post or play-by-email games," it also forbids you from using "artwork, including maps, that have not been published in the blog, although you may create your own interpretations of material presented in our artwork and maps, provided that your interpretations don't look substantially similar to our materials."

I know the community use policy I was trying to get some clarification. It doesn't seem cut and dry to me and I am sure I am not the only one.

So I can't use maps in a private forum? One only the players can see? Isn't that the point of the maps. Not everyone has the lifestyle to be able to play tabletop and not everyone is in areas where it is even possible. I don't see how it is different to play a private game online than a tabletop game. With all of the effects put on top of the maps, its not like anyone can use them for other purposes.

Also as was mentioned, there is no need to post NPC stats or anything, but I do like to use images/portraits. But that isn't allowed either? I just don't understand, if no one else can see them. Why?

So the question is simple, the answer may not be but anyway. How much from a module can we post on a play by post forum? I know quite a few games being run from modules that post NPC information, descriptions, images and maps. The admin of the site recently came down with a ruling that you can't post anything unless it "says show this to players" as far as I am aware most Paizo modules don't have that text anywhere in them.

what if we make this a private forum just for players of the game? 5-6 people or whatever?
