Please cancel order 2774067. It's been on backorder since September.

Can you please automatically lock any thread that has lain untouched for a year or more? There seems to be a rash of posters who want to jump into a three year-old (probably out of date) discussion to throw their two cents in. I don't want to read someone's outdated argument especially if I had already read it back when it actually was relevant or, gods forbid, posted in it!

Can you please help a distressed eeevil overlord to protect himself from rampaging necromancers? Please?
Changing your search function to consider date as well as term relevance might also help. Just a suggestion... Make a DC25 Will save to negate.

Order 2889497 has been pending for almost a month now. There doesn't seem to be anything backordered. I have another order with two backordered products that has been sitting for over two months. Is there any way to know whether or not I'll actually be able to get that order filled? Maybe even before Christmas? Please let me know.

I've got two orders pending, one solely of a backordered item (2774067) and the other (2774196) with a backordered item that's holding everything else up. Is it possible to move my backordered item from 2774196 to 2774067 and get the rest of my order?
Please let me know. Thanks!!

I got very confused when reading the FAQ this morning.
We have two clarifications here, one saying that when wielding a two-handed weapon in one hand I *do* get the bonus damage from Power Attack and another saying that I *don't.* I would tend to agree with the more recent posting that says one handed=one handed. Should the older one be removed from the FAQ? Am I missing something here?

Weapons, Two-Handed in One Hand: When a feat or other special ability says to treat a weapon that is normally wielded in two hands as a one handed weapon, does it get treated as one or two handed weapon for the purposes of how to apply the Strength modifier or the Power Attack feat?

If you're wielding it in one hand (even if it is normally a two-handed weapon), treat it as a one-handed weapon for the purpose of how much Strength to apply, the Power Attack damage bonus, and so on.

Power Attack: If I am using a two-handed weapon with one hand (such as a lance while mounted), do still I get the +50% damage for using a two-handed weapon?

Yes.

—Pathfinder Design Team, 05/24/13

Edit: Never mind, I figured it out. If the exception reads: 'treat as a one-handed weapon,' then you treat it as a one-handed weapon. If the exception doesn't specify, then you can continue to treat it as a two-handed weapon for the purposes of Power Attack.

Greetings, all!

I am relocating to San Antonio, TX at the end of July and I'm looking for players for a Pathfinder campaign! I'm a veteran GM from the 3.5 days, and I've ran several campaigns to completion. I am looking to run a fairly standard Pathfinder home game with a balance of role- and roll- play. I have a homebrew world to adventure in and I encourage and incorporate character backstory.
If you're interested in joining in, please send me a PM *AND* post here to keep the thread on the radar. Please tell me about favorite characters you've played and what made them so much fun.

Okay, in an effort to advance my eeevil plans, I was musing about what class the various movie incarnations of James Bond would be. Please become one of my evil minions and post your thoughts on this. For bonus points, speculate on the next bond. To be promoted to henchman: KILL BOND, *NOW*!!!

Sean Connery - the original; the standard by which all others are judged. Class: Cavalier. His lance is a Walther PPK, his horse is an Astin-Martin, he cleans up nice, he's got the skills, and you don't want to be on the receiving end of his critical hit. Besides, "cavalier" is just a plain fun way to describe him.
George Lazenby - The forgotten bond. Class: Monk? Sorry, George. I've only sat through your Bond outing once and I can't remember a thing.
Roger Moore - the funnier, more cuddly bond. Class: Bard. He wasn't the best fighter, but he had the skills and the panache in spades.
Timothy Dalton - The vengeful bond. Class: Rogue. Yeah, the sneakier bond, the one that played up the assassin role a little more. Plus, angsty.
Pierce Brosnan - believe it or not, he has more notches in the grip of his pistol than any other Bond. Holds the records for highest total body count, and the highest body count of any Bond movie to date (Goldeneye). Class: Urban Ranger with favored enemies Henchmen, Mook, and random soldier. He's got all of the social skills and the Bond persona, but he was a killing machine first and foremost.
Daniel Craig - The shirtless Bond. Class: Fighter. Wow, does he have the physicality of Bond down. Rough, tough, cuts no slack. While his depth of character increased with Skyfall, his forte isn't seduction, baccarat, or sneakiness. It's handing out whuppins and causing mass destruction.

I'm excited to see where Mr. Craig goes with the next Bond adventure after the "reboot" at the end of Skyfall. However, at some point he's going to hang up the Martini glass. Whom should we install in this most sacred of franchises?
My ideas:
Idris Elba gets a lot of talk. I think he'd be wonderful for the part, personally. Read just about any article on imdb about Bond for more. I won't rehash it here.
How about Jessica Chastain? Now, I know what you're thinking: WHAT?!! AN *AMERICAN* BOND??!!!!!@111@!!!@!~!@!! ARGLEBARGLE!!!!!$12!!!!@@@!!!!
Hey, it's worth exploring... Okay, maybe Saoirse Ronan instead? She's Irish, just like Mr. Brosnan. But too young yet. Maybe one day...
Actually, I think my pick for next best Bond would be Michael Fassbender. I could watch him eat a box of cereal and read the newspaper for two hours. Imagine what he could do with Bond. He chews up every scene he's in, he's serious about getting into his characters, and he's definitely got the intangibles.

Thoughts? Other ideas? Though this is merely a frivolous thought exercise, all minions are encouraged to give their opinion. Minions with opinions are MOpinions and less likely to be mercilessly slaughtered while slightly inconveniencing Jamie Bond. Warning: as evil overlord, I will not execute, but I will mercilessly mock any minions who can't seem to capitalize in their posts...

I'm looking for a Pathfinder group to join in NOVA. I'm a mature roleplayer armed with a dry sense of humor and dice that hate me looking for a game. I'm looking for a group that enjoys role- AND roll- playing, wants to be heroic, and isn't bonkers with houserules. If you have room for another gamer in your group or are looking to start a new one, please send me a PM AND post here to keep the thread on the radar. I'm ready to GM for a group too, but I may only be in NOVA until summer.

Saturday afternoons preferred!

I'm part of a Pathfinder group in Northern Colorado seeking new players. We balance roleplay and combat and we have a pretty laid-back atmosphere at our games. We're seeking mature gamers for Friday or Saturday night games every other week.
Please post if you're interested in learning more!

Happy gaming!
