Thanks, everyone. I wanted to know if there was a specific clause somewhere addressing the questions I posted. It looks like there is a way (indeed, multiple ways) to interpret the rules to answer my questions.
Guys, the reach weapon rules do not allow you to attack (with the reach weapon) a creature that is adjacent. To apply a ruling from a published source, here is an exceprt from the CRB, with my bolding: Most reach weapons double the wielder's natural reach, meaning that a typical Small or Medium wielder of such a weapon can attack a creature 10 feet away, but not a creature in an adjacent square.
Taking into account the idea of closer portions of a large creature getting in the way of being able to effectively use a weapon with reach (i.e. the shaft of the weapon bumps into part of the creature before the bladed bit does) I can understand both arguments: 1) for the imposition of a +2 cover bonus to the target's AC, and 2) inability to use the weapon effectively at all. I lean toward the first interpretation.
If a creature wielding a reach weapon, a glaive, for example, is standing directly adjacent to an opponent, does she threaten that opponent? Can they contribute to flanking with an ally on the opposite side of the opponent? If that same creature with the glaive is standing adjacent to a large opponent, does she threaten the large opponent? Can she flank the large opponent if an ally is standing directly opposite her, adjacent to the large opponent?
Lucius Malfoy from the Harry Potter novels and movies, exclusively before Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, is a great example of a villainous but gentlemanly wizard.
Think about details from his background. What made him become a vigilante? Is he seeking vengeance? Does he just think it's fun? Has he grown up comfortable, safe, loved, and happy, or was his earlier childhood more cruel? Does he have a role model, whether it's a regular NPC he admires or another vigilante? There is also a wealth of options in the monsters of Golarion, such as The Cloaker, The ____ (Red, Black, Shadow, Demon, etc.) Dragon, Darkmantle, assuming you are angling toward a dark, shadowy name. Alternatively, Arrowhawk (not sure if there are arrowhawks on Golarion, but it's cool,) Hell Hound, The Tarrasque, The Wyvern.
PM me your mailing address and I will send them to you.Hi FirstLevelFighter? Are these still available? I was able to get the other two but missed those at Gencon. :) They’re on the way!

Hello, everyone! Does anyone need or want a pair of the Gen Con 2011 Pathfinder iconics buttons to complete a set or decorate your favorite jean jacket from 1985? I have Lirianne and Hayato, and I'm looking for a home for them. If you want them, please reply with your mailing address and I will send them your way. First come, first served!
'Imbalance' is a noun. 'Imbalanced' is not a word. An imbalance exists between the power levels of certain classes in regards to other classes. Thus, certain classes are unbalanced.
Happy Holidays, Klaus! I'd like one, please. Thank you! This is so great! I needed a pick-me-up this morning. Thanks for boosting my Holiday spirit, Klaus. Merry Christmas, Klaus, and Happy Holidays, everyone!
Happy Holidays, Klaus! I'd like one, please. Thank you!

Some of these I've seen, most of them I'm stealing, all of them I love.
1. Undead/skeleton/ghost/zombiefied pirates 2. Ghost ship(s) +1
Joss Whedon or J. Michael Straczynski would run great games full of great characters and epic, set piece battles, so +1 for them. William Gibson for a modern or cyberpunk game? Again, +1. John C. Wright for sci-fi or fantasy.
With big old chompers, your halfling would be able to eat even the most dangerous cheeses. Dire cheese. "I'm a muenster! RAWRR!"
At the speed and weight animals could pull a "train" iron tracks would work, I imagine good wood would work. other than the wood not holding up due to weather over the long run. Worn and damaged stretches of track would make for great encounter/hazard possibilities.
A Gnome cavalier, mounted on a riding dog, à la Sir Didymus and Ambrosius from Labyrinth. Roleplay him with delusional, but nonetheless grand, sweeping nobility, chivalry, and bravado. A fun-size Don Quixote who believes the riding dog is the paragon of chivalry and honor, and he is spending his life trying to be worthy of being borne by such an exquisite mount. Spend copious gold on the pooch, stabling him in the best accomodations, or letting the dog sleep in the inn while the gnome makes do in the stable. The dog drinks milk and honey and eats only the finest meats, while the gnome makes do with bread and water.
That's just what I was looking for. I wasn't trying to replace or improve upon Boon Companion, I just didn't know it was already out there. I appreciate the information. Thanks, everyone!
I believe you mean character level, as class level refers to each class independently. Yes, I do mean character level. Thanks!
The druid's class levels stack with levels of any other classes that are entitled to an animal companion for the purpose of determining the companion's statistics." This feat allows ranger levels to stack with levels of any other class(es), including those which are not entitled to an animal companion, for purposes of determining the animal companion's advancement. Essentially, with this feat, a multiclass ranger's class level -3 is the effective druid level, in regards to his animal companion.
I’m planning to play a multiclass ranger/sorcerer/arcane archer in an upcoming campaign. I’d like to solicit feedback regarding a feat before I propose it to my gaming group. Is there a way to make it more elegant? Does the feat dovetail gracefully with existing rules? Is it too specific or restrictive? I welcome any suggestions regarding the text, as well as opinions as to whether it is under- or overpowered. I don't think there is an existing feat in the PRPG, and I have not found a similar house rule or other suggestion. If anyone knows of a similar thread, please let me know. Thanks!
Prerequisite: Hunter’s bond class ability, ranger level 4th. Benefit: Your effective druid level is equal to your class level –3 when determining your animal companion's Hit Dice, abilities, skills, and feats. Normal: Without this feat, a ranger’s animal companion functions like the druid animal companion ability (which is part of the Nature Bond class feature), except that the ranger’s effective druid level is equal to his ranger level –3.
Ha! I meant my girlfriend (who is a big nerd, but only a part-time geek, and not really a gamer at all) and I. I was in Grandview until last October. It was nice there, lots of good stuff within walking distance. I'd been there 10 years so Worthington is a nice change of scenery with its own advantages.
And cool, another local. Where you located? We're in Worthington. It's always good to hear about more gamers in Cbus. Origins is coming up right around the corner!
My girlfriend and I saw it last weekend. It was fun and charming. We both had a great time. Toothless's animators definitely spent some time gathering reference materials of cats, and it paid off.
That reminds me, I hear there's a store out in Newark that I haven't been to before. Only way I discovered them was that they showed up on the Free RPG Day list. Need to go check it out since it isn't far from us far east siders. What's the name of the store in Newark? I love the GT and Ravenstone, I don't get to the Armory as often as I'd like, but I'm always up for trying out a new LGS.
+1 more for more contests like this one. Congratulations, Silvia!
http://www.emass-web.com is no more. Sigh.
Then what!? 4E causes the downfall of civilization as we know it! Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!
Poison of Cure Light Wounds. Ha ha! Actually, healing potions restore hit points, and poisons can deal ability damage. A poisoned healing potion is pretty nasty.
T1 also mentions Ostverk, another small village, and Nulb, a small settlement six miles from Hommlet which I think was detailed in The Temple of Elemental Evil. I'm just skimming, so I may have missed it, but I can't find mention of any specific village or country, no Istivin or Sterich, in G-1-2-3 Against the Giants. The village of Barovia was detailed in the module I6: Ravenloft, but that wasn't until 1983. I pulled out a stack of old modules and flipped through them. Good times.
It looks like you're running the RotRl, or at least a campaign set in Golarion. This might limit your options with only two players. Would your group be open to setting RotRl aside for the time being and running a homebrew, maybe even one still set in Golarion, that you could gear toward a two-player party. You could even throw in an NPC spellcaster when the need arises. A campaign focused around a pair of mercenary adventurers, or two agents of another entity (a wizard or a cleric), could have a very cool Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser feel. If you find one or more other players, you could pick up again with RotRl. Alternatively, do you know anyone else who would be willing to learn to play?
…aaand a Dunedin, but that’s not quite Dunedan.
Here in Columbus, OH (home of Origins) there is a Kossuth Street. A good friend lived there for a while. There is also Druid Street, Arcadia Avenue, Walhalla Road, Midgard Road, Brynhild Road, and Mimring Road. |
