Basically what the title asks. Is there an online map of the dungeon included with the Beginner Box? I'd like to run this adventure with some friends on Roll20 but would like a map that I can reveal room by room for them. I'd consider scanning the one from the inside of the cover for the GM Guide but it is too marked up with hints of what to expect (and I don't want to risk tearing up my GM Guide with the scanner). I'd like a clean image like the fold up map that was included in the box. But large in size for a virtual tabletop. Thanks in advance.
Sounds interesting. It's always fun to throw in Sentinels as well. Though last I checked the government had gotten away from using robotic Sentinels. Now they have Sentinel Force One which are bigger Sentinels piloted by humans so that they shouldn't go out of control. You going to be playing on Roll20?
Interesting that people bring up the extra feat. I was thinking the opposite way. All of the bonuses that a dwarf gets seem like worth more than an extra feat. Darkvision alone is practically as good as a feat to me. But then add in the stone cunning, greed, slow and steady, hardy and the other traits and it seems to be more than generous compensation. But that's just my opinion.
This has probably been asked before but what advantage is there to playing a human PC? I thought there used to be something like getting more skill ranks at creation but I don't see that now so maybe it was another game. Right now all I see is that humans get an extra Feat. Seems pretty lame compared to the dark vision all all the other bonuses that demi humans get. I'm trying to decide what my first character for Pathfinder should be so that's why I'm asking. Thanks.

I thought so too and was wondering if anyone else thought if this should be fixed by a house rule. Thanks. While I'm thinking about it. Can Instant Summons be used to summon a container such as a box or trunk that contains other objects? Opinions?
Instant Summons is listed as a Artifice Domain spell available to clerics at 8th level. However to use the spell you need to place your Arcane Mark on the target object. But as I understand it, clerics can't cast Arcane Mark. So how are they able to use the Instant Summons spell? Of course I.S. wouldn't be available to clerics anyway if it wasn't a domain spell. Any input will be appreciated.

Shouldn't discount doing things simply for style, after all, style is the only thing separating adventurers from murderous psychos with a penchant for grave robbing..... Heh, I'm putting this in my sig on other gaming forums I belong to. Especially Kenzer & Company.
Not sure why this website repeats the same thing so many times but it talks about what I mentioned on aluminum. http://209.62.124.59/Centennial_Exposition/Exposition_Universelle.html "aluminum was more valuable than gold; bars of aluminum were exhibited alongside the French crown jewels at the Exposition Universelle (1855)." I think it's kind of funny now that people just drink out of it and toss it out their car windows for people like me to pick up and recycle for a few dozen pennies per pound.
I know that one one of my trips to Japan I saw D&D 3.5 books in Japanese in a game shop in Kobe. I hear those are pretty close to Pathfinder if you wanted something to help get a grip on the basic rules. I need to find the pics I took from that trip but I can't remember which year and which computer they are on.
I used to work under the assumption that mithril was basically the fantasy version of aluminum. Steel strength or better but lighter. I've heard that originally (before they learned to mass produce it cheaply) that bars of aluminum were more expensive than bars of gold of the same size and guarded carefully when they were displayed at a World's Fair. Can't source that right now though since I'm getting ready to head out of the house. Nowadays I use mithril (mythril) as a conductor of magical energies for magitech devices in my steampunk campaign world.
This is the kind of thread I love to see. Way back in the early 3e days I worked up the gunblade as an alchemy powered weapon. When the trigger was pulled an alchemic reaction produced an electrical charge that was channeled to the metal blade to do extra damage. Unfortunately I've lost or tossed the notes I made on the weapon along with my materia/magicite notes (I'm thinking about reworking those for my steampunk Pathfinder campaign). As for Cloud's buster sword, are we talking the original simple version that Cloud took from Zack:
or the awesome 6-in-1, Advent Children version:

I've never been a big fan of the whole "memorize, cast, forget" way that magic works in RPGs so I've been toying with the idea of adding an extra stat to each character called "Magic Points". They work pretty much like those used in video game RPGs. The character starts each day with a fresh supply of points and spends them to cast their spells. 1st level spells cost 1 point, 2nd level costs 2 points and so on. Spells may be cast multiple times as long as they have enough points left. Would I be dramatically unbalancing the game? Should 0 level spells be free or cost half a point? When a character levels up what would be a good way to increase their allotment of magic points? Roll a d20? Increase it by an amount equal to their INT or WIS score?

Yeah, as a player I wanted to kill him so bad and now that I'm getting ready to GM my own game I want him as a recurring villain to mess with my players. I may start him at level 7 like in the Dungeon issue but I'll keep upping his level as the campaign goes on.
Do clerics need the material components to cast spells that require them when arcane spell casters use them? Such as 50gp of ruby dust for the Continual Flame spell? Also, if someone casts Continual Flame on an object, does just one point flame or the entire object? So we'd get a flaming sword (without heat or fire damage I know). Thanks.
I know that this is a touch spel but can a Light spell be caste on an enemy, such as on an eye or between the eyes to blind them? I imagine it would be a waste on a regular size foe but might be an advantage on a larger or more powerful one such as a ogre, troll or giant. What if a group manages to subdue a town bully and just want to be mean in return and cast it on him? Also, could it end up permanently doing damage to eyesight? |
