EvilXenu's page

If nothing else, the Feiya paint job inspired me to take up mini-painting again after a 5 year hiatus. I'm still a noob, but have fun.

Here's my repaint attempt.

Is there any chance of coming out with a paper minis PDF for the creatures covered in the bestiary?

Or, howabout some targeted creature type packs? Example: Dragons, Undead, Goblins, etc. etc. etc.? I'm thinking not a single one-shot, but a variety of the same kinds. For example: goblin archers, fighters, lords, guards, etc.

I've updated the main Pathfinder page. Does that help?

It's been a while since I checked this thread ... but, yeah! The update helps out.

Thanks!

I posted this over on rpg.geekdo.com, but thought I'd cross-post to get some feedback here on Paizo's official site. I think my post and the follow-ups reflect that the website either needs to be more informative or an overhaul or.... SOMETHING.

Link is here.

Maybe it's just me, but when I go to their site, I see a ton of product where I'm not quite clear what goes with what. To wit:

- Pathfinder Chronicles
- Pathfinder Modules
- Pathfinder Adventure Paths
- Pathfinder Companion
- Pathfinder Society

I know what a module is. But how do the Chronicles / Society / Companion / etc. fit in here? Are Adventure Paths simply multi-part modules or what? Are all of these compatible with Pathfinder or 3.5E? Sounds like a conversion from 3.5E is a no-brainer, but I'd like to know in advance what I'm getting.

It also looks like they have a variety of "subscriptions" where you automatically "get" new product. Is this simply guaranteeing you have a spot in the pre-order line or is there something more to it? Additionally, it's not just a single subscription, but multiple subscriptions that are available. I find their site just really isn't that concise in terms of what you can subscribe to and what you get. If anyone out there is a subscriber, can you shed some light on this?

Are any of the other products they have worth it? I'm thinking in particular about the deck of cards for items / treasures / etc. It would be cool, but doesn't sound like *that* much of an improvement over just writing an item on a character sheet. More fluff than crunch I guess I'm thinking. Maybe I'm missing something here.

Thanks!

Treantmonk--

Your guides are an awesome source of information. I'd like to "PDF-ify" some of your guides on Google-docs and upload them to a Pathfinder / RPG fansite (rpg.geekdo.com). Is that ok? I'd PM ya about this, but these message boards apparently lack that capability. :P

Thanks!

We're so off topic ;)

Note that the "Dark haired and Grey eyed" Numenorians are the ancestors of the "Dunedain" (the ones who Tolkien makes very clear SHOULD have been in charge the whole time). The rest were corrupted by Evil and either sank into the ocean or became the ancestors of the evil Black Numenorians.

If "Fair haired and blue eyed" had anything purposely to do with being Aryan, it's no compliment because they were the "Bad guys"

I think the real question here is whether or not Balrogs have wings. (*ducks for cover*). :)

As Moro mentioned, please reference the Google Doc version of this guide. If I could go back and edit the changes to the original post I would, but I can't do that, which is why I recommend always using the Google Doc instead. Besides, with better formatting, you will find it a much more pleasant read IMO.

Yep, I've been using that for a reference. It still says, however:

Level 6: Add feats: Quick Draw, Deadly Aim, Manyshot, Rapid Shot Dex has been increased to 14 at level 4: Equipment: Now the character is using a Greatsword and a Mighty Composite Longbow (+4 str). When enemies are at range, the ranger can take his normal move and fire 2 arrows, each at +7 to hit (1 attack roll, both hit or miss), or take a 5 foot step and attack 3 times, each at +5 to hit. Damage with each is 1d8+8. This is without any magical bonuses. Not bad eh?

Looks like the bonuses etc. jive with what I was calculating. Thanks for clarifying. ... and thanks for the guide!

Treant--

Any chance you could answer my questions above? How can you perform Manyshot when you do a normal move? Can you break down the modifier calculations to show how you came up with +9 and +7 to hit? I think YawarFiesta might be correct in that I didn't include the Masterwork bonus - is that implied when it comes to a "Mighty Composite Longbow"?

Also, where are strength ratings for composite bows defined? The article mentions a Mighty Composite Longbow has a +4 strength rating. I searched the PF SRD but don't see how the strength rating is defined.

Sorry if these are basic questions. I haven't played D&D since 3E first came out so I am really rusty on a lot of this.

Thanks!

I haven't real the whole thread here, but for the Switch Hitter, how do you figure this? If I understand this correctly, you are basing the 2 shots from the first part of that statement on the Manyshot feat. However, PF says Manyshot works "when you take a full-action". How can you take your normal move under a full attack action? I see a 5-foot step at the most.

Also, I don't understand how you are figuring your to-hit and damage modifiers.

Given a level 6 ranger (BAB +6/+1) with 18 STR (+4) and 14 Dex (+2):

Full-attack w/Mighty composite bow:
+6+2/+1+2 = +8/+3 ranged. 1d8+4 damage

w/Deadly aim:
+8-2/+3-2 = +6/+1 ranged. 1d8+4+4 = 1d8+8 damage

w/Deadly aim + Manyshot:
+6(x2)/+1 ranged. 1d8+8 damage

w/Deadly aim + rapid shot + manyshot:
+4(x2)/+4/-1. 1d8+8 damage

How are you figuring +9 and +7 to-hit? In your Ettin example earlier in the thread, how do you figure +5(x2)/+5/+1? I come up with +4(x2)/+4/-1. What am I missing here?

Other than that, I want to say "thanks!" for the guide. I've based my very first PF character on the tips given here!
