Could you please cancel my Adventure Path subscription? I'm afraid Jade Regent doesn't intrest me that much...

I know that, but I'd like to buy a heavy horse with 4 HD and I'm wondering if that's possible.
I seem to recall seeing somewhere that you could buy, say, a horse with more HD, but you have to pay the price which is XYZ gp x HD. Was that in 3.5 or does it exist in Pathfinder, too?
Can't afford it anymore. :(
No, thank you! :) You're the best, Paizo.
Hi, I recieved my copy of Rule of Fear today in not that great a shape. Minor problem is that upper right corner was bent and twisted. Second problem is that it seems that shippment got wet somewhere in the process so ALL of the pages were almost glued one to another which resulted in color of one page getting smudged on other pages. Some parts dryed off and the whole book is a bit uneven and poor to look at, which is especially annoying because I'm an avid collector. Please help, this hasn't happened with any of my previous orders.
Hi, I'm an Adventure Path subscriber and I'm just wondering why isn't Trial of the Beast in my pending orders?
Thank you, Captain Obvious.
Meaning subscribers get their pdf when...?
I was reading through Serpent's Skull and in the final chapter: Spoiler:
The PCs don't manage to stop the resurrection of a dead god and fight his avatar and that seemed truly epic to me. So, I was thinking, why not let Jhavhul merge with Xotani? They fight him, he dies and when he sinks in to the lava, Xotani absorbs him. Then I'd give PCs a few rounds to recuperate after which, Xotani bursts forth and we go again. Of course, he's CR 20 and he'll need some nerfing and PCs will need some boosting (I'd make them lvl 16 before the final fight). The reason I'm doing this is because I think that Xotani as a boss has a more epic feel than just a huge efreet... Him being a Spawn of Rovagug and all that, and through talks with my PCs it seems to me they're more afraid of him than of Jhavhul. So, I think it would give them a bigger sense of success if they beat Jhavhul as Xotani. Thoughts?
I'll wait until friday, it's no biggie. :)
Any updates? Everything is still the same...
I'm not sure I understood your post. I checked again and the order confirmation screen still shows the full amount (31.99$).
Well, as off few minutes ago, I officially became a Pathfinder AP subrsciber, as my credit card was charged and I got my Carrion Crown PDF. Since I now have that nifty 15% off all paizo products, I thought I'd order a few more things, but when I got to the pentultimate step of the order placement process I saw that there's no discount included. The products in question are: Pathfinder Dice Set: Legacy of Fire
What's up with that?
So what if the ranger gets huge bonuses is it any diffrent than a cleric with the sun and glory domain combo from 3.5. This isn't 3.5. My opinion is let your players have fun being able to be effective I want that, but I don't want one player to be *that* effective that the rest of the party feel like they're his sidekicks. Having significant bonuses for the most of the campaign (which are greater than rage/weapon training/smite) would just be frustrating for whole of the party.
Just a quick question - will undead be overpowerinly present in this campaign? I'll be DMing it and one player would want to play a Ranger with them as favored enemy, of course, but I'm kinda worried how will that turn out since all Undead fall into one category. Meaning, if they make up 60% of the campaign, he'll be getting huge bonuses all the time, which is too much to handle as a DM and also the rest of the party would feel overshadowed. Are my worries unfounded?
Hm, I'm a bit unclear on few things on the starting level. First of all, someone mentioned that the only way to reach the other floors of the palace is via secret chute above the magma, yet it clearly states that stairs where Get of Iblis is lead to area B1 and I also can't seem to find any mention of that garbage chute... What am I doing wrong? Second, where do the stairs in A4 lead?
He can cast Quickened Change Size 2/day, so there's nothing stopping him doing both, but it's not like a 15th lvl melee character will fail that DC 16 Fort save, unless on a natural 1.
Is anything stopping Jhavhul from using Change Size on himself to become Gargantuan?
Thought so. One more question while we're at the same topic - 15% discount applies to every Paizo/Pathfinder product?
I recently applied for Pathfinder Adventure Path subscription (starting from Carrion Crown) and since I got that nifty 15% discount, I thought I'd buy some few more stuff while I wait for the first chapter of Carrion Crown to ship. But, when I checked my shopping cart, I found that there's no discount at all. Is it because I haven't yet bought anything (although everywhere on my account it shows that I am, in fact, a subscriber) or is it some glitch?
It's still due to be released shortly before before the first volume of Carrion Crown ships Before it ships to subscribers or before it becomes available for the rest?
Don't tell them anything. Why would they need to know? How would you explain that RP-wise?
Most groups like that sandbox feeling. I think that's why Kingmaker's been such a success.
In order to foreshadow Jhavhul some more (I do love foreshadowing the villains), I will give the PCs information about Jhavhul through the rest of the NPCs of Kakishon and every one of them will have their stories and impressions of Jhavhul and I need MOAR titles. We have the Avenging Sword, the Magnificent, the Crimson Butcher. Ideas?
Zaister, your group seems to be really, really slow. :D I really can't believe it takes 15 sessions for one chapter. They're intended to finish in about 4 sessions (hence Paizo publishes one AP chapter per month). My group is taking their sweet time (they spent a whole session just going around Katapesh, doing nothing but exploring and buying/selling without any progress to story. Excellent session) and with our 13th session we just finished Jackal's Price. They also did every set piece adventure. And few of my additions. What do you do on your sessions?
Both. Whole area of the Tower is teleportation-proof, meaning they can't teleport into it, out of it or within it.
Yep, no rules against it per RAW. I have run games before where they canceled each other out, but I let people know that ahead of time. Like Tarlane said, it could make sense. There was an epic weapon in Baldur's Gate 2, called the Equalizer which dealed more damage the further the creature's aligment is from True Neutral:
By 3.5/PF rules that would be a Holy Unholy Anarchic Axiomatic weapon.
As you can see, there are TONS of recommendations here and it would take a long, long time to sift through them all. So it wouldn't be a bad idea just to write down all suggestions, google them up and see what intrigues you the most by the general story. I won't debate books that other people recommended, since it kinda doesn't have a point, de gustibus non disputandum est and all that jazz. Most of the books I'll recommend are series (as fantasy novels are want to do) so I won't write down the individual names, just the series name. Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin - my favourite series in the whole wide world. Riftwar by Raymond E. Feist - starts out as nothing spectacular but after a few books you get attached to characters. Heritage of Shannara by Terry Brooks - you can easily skip the first trilogy, as it is very similar to Lord of the Rings and not that intresting anyways, but this one is way better in every aspect. The Black Company - very grim and dark series, and has a quite unorthodox approach to describing scenes of battle. Prince of Nothing - very confusing start, very enthralling afterwards. Kingkiller Chronicle - Name of the Wind is the only book currently on the market with second one coming soon. It's a very character driven novel, without too much dabbling in action and stuff. Low magic setting. The Watch Series (Discworld) - Terry Pratchet at his best, need I say more? I'll briefly mention Faerun novels as they're not everyone's cup of tea, but if you're into that you might check out: Erevis Cale Trilogy (and the following Twilight War) - fantastic series IMHO, one of my favourites. The Year of Rogue Dragons - if you like dragons, you found the book for you. Legend of Drizzt - first three series are worth it (Dark Elf, Icewind Dale, Legacy of the Drow), afterwards the series isn't as good. Hope it helps. :)
Manyshot is one attack for two arrows, Scorching Ray uses separate attack rolls for all rays, so why would it be like manyshot?
What if there are multiple rays? Say, an Arcane Trickster who's under the effects of Greater Invisibility or acts in surprise round etc, does he add SA damage on every ray, or just once?
I've been using Erdenstern, album Into the Gold, and it really sets the mood and my players loved it. I'll soon be running out of songs, so I'll be using your soundtrack AbyssLord, thx. Zomoroda is a really nice song.
Try Ebay. If that fails, there are always some... less than legal methods. :D
I thought about doing the similar thing, but then I realized that most damage would be in the last chapter, so there kinda wouldn't be any point. :D
Indeed, this sounds like a suitably epic finale. I can only hope it will be so for my group, too. :) Finale reminded me of the ending of my Savage Tide campaign where in the last round of the fight versus Demogorgon the only one left standing was the party Bard (with no offensive abilities whatsoever that could pierce his defenses)with Ring of Three Wishes (1 wish left) and Demogorgon with 1 hp. Bard goes first. :D But tell me, why did Jhavhul attack Ice Devil and threw Bead of Force at him? Would have there been a TPK if Jhavhul concentrated on killing the PCs?
When making a full attack action, a hasted creature may make one extra attack with any weapon he is holding. Worth noting the bolded part. If the monk is fighting unarmed, by RAW, he doesn't get an extra attack since he has no weapons.
Worst thing about Pathfinder is Medium-sized Bears. Wolf animal companions can be large, but not BEARS? I don't know what's up wit that. Bears can be up to 10 feet long and their average weight is about 1000 pounds and they're medium? Makes no sense at all.It's bizarre to me that this, to you, is the worst thing and not just "a thing I don't like." It's because I don't have any other complaints, and like Last Knight said, it's just bizzare.
You have them... you just don't get them as standard companions. Why large wolves, then? Large wolves, who in fact have better ability scores than Grizzly Bears.

And there are none in Golarion. And yet in Golarion, we have large wolves, when they absolutely cannot grow to such size. Why?

Yes, my group is running it for... 3-4 years now. We made a pause before midterms, somewhere in may and didn't play ever since. We're currently in Cagewright's HQ and just killed a female minotaur and some cleric, I think. It's still debatable whether will continue or not as it's kinda boring and it dragged off for years, we don't even remember why we do what we do.
These shabby messageboards. I don't know why Paizo doesn't make a real, phpbb-based forums.
What happens to its animal type when it gets Int 3? Since Bestiary specifically states that no creature with an Intelligence score of 3 or higher can be an animal.
I'll ponder on this, but I think I'll go for Magical Beasts for the second, instead of Giants. We just started playing (2 sessions) and Humans was a good choice.
Here we go again...
Sarcasm aside, I appreciate your input. :D Although someone mentioned Humans, Giants, Fey and Dragons as the dominant ones. Now I can't decide. :/
Beyond that, ask your GM already. He'll give you all the information he wants you to have as a player. That way you won't cheat. He said that I should read the player guide and that's all the help I'll get. Since I'll have 4 Favored Enemies and there's at least 10 suggested creature types in Player's Guide, it wasn't much of a help.
That's a can of worms that you don't want to open. :D Basically, it comes down to this - I'd rather choose the better mechanical option and work my character around that than choose a senseful Favored Enemy whom I won't face in the AP. And don't continue discussion in that way it's gonna turn into a flame war. :D
I'll probably take Humans, Giants, Fey, Dragons, but I'm just pondering whether Animal is better choice than Humans. I'm going for Infiltrator, and Animal has better Adaption choices, but if there are more Humans in AP, then I guess I'll go for them.
How much milegae would I get from taking Animals as FE? In comparison with Humans? |
