Anyone have a lead where one might acquire all six of the modules at a price that would not cost me an organ ... or two?

I am sorry if this has been asked - I am wondering if the new Feats are NPC only or will they be able to be used for PCs in the game physic's? This is sort of the gauge about whether or not I add this to my library.

Thanks Gary - I am not sure what some of the impediments are to deploying a new site for Paizo, but you do have a strong community that would likely be most willing to assist fwiiw ;)

I am not sure if there are problems with connecting through email, but I am unable to d/l the PDF for Bestiary 2. After personalising - no matter how long I wait - I just get bounced back to my D/L page. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Justin - I received the resend. I hope that made it to you.

Hi there,

I sent an inquiry to Customer Service over two weeks ago and have yet to receive a reply. anyway I can confirm whether - in fact - it has been received?

I'm not necroposting - but has there been any further development in this regard? A lot has changed since 2011 and I - for one - do most of my surfing now in mobile devices. Would be great to see such a platform deployed for Paizo!

Indeed! I just finished my 4th GM session. Party returning from first foray into the Ashen Waste and have definitely delved into the nuances of mature themes and what's evil and what's good in a away that is implicit in this adventure. Depth of ambiguity is powerful and - imo - requires an ability to be comfortable in some of the mature content beyond the violence.

Hi there,

I tried various search patterns and I did not seem to find an appropriate answer. I apologise, therefore, if there is a well establish protocol in this regard. I am about to begin the Slumbering Tsar Saga with my group and Diplomacy (Intimidate and Bluff too) will likely be important at certain points. I am wondering what the protocol is in respect to Diplomacy with multiple characters. I would tend toward saying if someone tries and fails, then that means no one from the party can try again for the stipulated 24 hours. Obviously there may be nuances, but this is where I am tending, but I do not see any specific direction within the rule-set. Any wisdom and direction would be most appreciated!

let me bold something, then.

Multiweapon Fighting (Combat)

This multi-armed creature is skilled at making attacks with multiple weapons.
Prerequisites: Dex 13, three or more hands.
Benefit: Penalties for fighting with multiple weapons are reduced by –2 with the primary hand and by –6 with off hands.
Normal: A creature without this feat takes a –6 penalty on attacks made with its primary hand and a –10 penalty on attacks made with all of its off hands. (It has one primary hand, and all the others are off hands.) See Two-Weapon Fighting in the Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook.
Special: This feat replaces the Two-Weapon Fighting feat for creatures with more than two arms.

That right there is a rule that allows you to attack with more than two hands. This feat doesn't grant you additional attacks, but it does reduce the penalties of the additional attacks you already have.

Brilliant - thanks Fatyeri! I think this is indeed offers clarity in respect to the mechanics. Thanks for the great grammar eye :)

And I remain unsure ... I gather, therefore, that nothing official has been decided? It seems that this discussion ends up highlighting others I have reviewed: the rules can be read either way as there is enough ambiguity that leads to interpretations that differ. Fair observation?

Yep - completely get that bbt :) What I am now trying to figure out then, is the MWF choice. The body for FoB includes ALL of the Monk. So a simple fist is obviously not a substitute for a weapon, i.e. sai. So - if said character - has WMF s/he could have four attacks. Main hand (unarmed strike) + each off-hand with a Sai with recognised limitations. Correct?

Thanks Rynjin,

So ... I think I see the logic in your reply, which honestly is too dense for text.

So ... if there is a 4 armed PC, the FoB is not weapon dependent, whereas MWF is and that is an attack choice for a Full action round. Does this make sense?

RE: 'non-native speaker.' I am not sure how to respond. Rather than assume the intent of the comment, can you say more pls bbt?

Hmmmm ... so how do I differentiate a monk with 4 Sai than one with four fists? This is the part where it starts getting most confusing for me,

I certainly get the Flurry aspect - but the MWF w/o a fist starts to seem ... unbalanced? The advantage of FoB is the focused advantage as the character build progresses. MWF has less advantage - aka Monk build - but still makes sense RE: multi-armed character. How - therefore - do we draw the line of 'fist' vs. 'weapon' in this case? Does the question make sense?

Okay - what I am trying to understand is the implications of the character build for the PC. I understand the Full Action aspect. I do not think Brawler Fighter is accessible to the Flowing Monk.

The reason I think the Unarmed Strike - for the build - is important is owing to the damage the Flowing Monk does in this regard: 1d8+3 (Lvl 4). I had assumed, therefore, that each limb could be considered an Unarmed Strike (Main hand + 3 off hand) if the PC wants to use MWF. But I am hearing that is not possible. Is this correct? If so, then the character must equip a one-handed weapon for each hand.

To be honest, I had thought focusing on fighting styles made sense, but it is obviously up to the PC, so I just need to wrap my head around the mechanics of his choice.

Okay - I think I am getting this, so I apologise for possible seeming thick and please know how GRATEFUL I am for your time!

Okay. Flowing Monk with four arms.

Flurry damage: is this considered unarmed strike?

Multiple weapon feat: means a weapon actually has to be equipped.

Both FoB & MWF are full action rounds that must be chosen. If FoB is used, attacks are considered Unarmed Strike? If MWF, then whatever weapons are used: i.e., Main Hand (unarmed strike) & then 3 off hands weapon dependent. Is that right?

So, if a Monk were intending to solely use Unarmed Strike, it would seem not to make sense to invest in Multiweapon Fighting or am I missing something?

Thanks lantzkev,

So - Flurry is flurry, regardless of arms. But, if the Monk has multiweapon fighting, does that mean he would have 1 main hand attack and 3 offhand ones if he is using Unarmed Strike?

I do not mean to bump this thread, but has Paizo or anyone with some authority made a decision as to the mechanics in this regard? I have a character who is creating a Flowing Monk Kasatha, so I am trying to figure out the mechanics of multiweapon fighting works and whether that would mean she would have 1 mainhand attack and 3 offhand ones with Unarmed Strike?

DrDeth, do you have a link to this? I have a PC introducing a new Kasatha Flowing Monk and I am trying to get the combat particulars down :?

Almost forgot about this.....

JPEG of my Campaign Cartographer version of Tamran.

I went with some of the description from the Campaign Setting hardcover:

"The ramshackle wooden city of Tamran sits perched at the mouth of the River Marideth, with much of the city built on piers and pilings over the broad marshlands of the estuary, connected by causeways, bridges, and a flotilla of coracles and skiffs."

It was also stated that the walls were torn down, although I left the towers that would have been aprt of them.

Thanks so much for creating this map! I am wondering if you might have a higher resolution version, as I was hoping to use a Tamran map as a resource for my group.

Thanks this has just come up in a group for whom I am DM. Are you able to provide a link to that rationale please?

PFS made their decision. They say you have to be the race to get anything racial related from the ARG. Even stuff that would otherwise be allowable by RAW.

It's a ruling specific to PFS, and they have made no comment as to how it would function outside PFS.
