I'm sorry. I have to step in here and invade your wonderful campaign and say: I've thoroughly enjoyed reading of your exploits. I'm so impressed with not only your session descriptions, USEPLANB, but also your players. I'd like to single out Moxie and Uther, especially. Don't get me wrong, Lint, MordeanGrey, Eilarolyn, and everyone else: you've been stellar. Just call me: captivated :)

I'm interested in your take that they're only going by sound -- the tower is hollow, and in theory the PCs are carrying lights. So as Skeld said, they want to do maximum possible damage to the PCs without endangering themselves, so they're going to let the PCs get up the stairs a ways before dropping the bell.

IF the PCs all have Darkvision so the stalkers can hear them but not see them, I think they're far more likely to drop prematurely.

I suppose that's a good point. Didn't think about the stalkers being able to see the PCs. I was clearly overthinking this. Thanks all.

Hey all. I am working on a Rise of the Runelords campaign. Gotta question on how to run the Shadow Clock encounter. The faceless stalkers attending the Bells: The book says they will let loose the Bell down unto intruders, well here's my question:

Once the party starts fighting the Scarecrow golem, why wouldn't they drop the Bell? Would they listen in on that fight and wait to see who won? And then once they heard the PCs creeping up the stairs then release the bell? Just curious how other GMs have handled this. It's not like the faceless stalkers have any idea what's going down below. They're just going by sound. Thanks all.

Frankly it won't be a wasted feat as long as you keep making rings. You could potentially do it for the whole party.

That's definitely the plan. Our dm's being nice enough to interpet the 1,000 gp value per day time to craft and allow me to craft one item per player character at the same time. So if I had 40,000 gold I could make 4 rings in invis in a 10 day period.

And to Rumpin' Rufus: I actually already have craft wondrous item as well. Not Craft Arms and Armor yet. I plan to get as much mileage out of these feats as possible. I've never had any of them before. :)

I think these feats adds a whole new level of "Support" to my support class.

Sounds like a great idea. Two cautions, however:

1. Harming undead with channel positive energy will cause you to become visible.
2. A lot of monsters at that level have workarounds for invisibility.

Thanks, and yeah I know about harming undead. And I know high level stuff will have see invis, and I know it could be a wasted feat, but I plan on adding protection +1 to this ring later and so on.

Also the invis is -obviously- good for more than combat. :) I'm wearing full plate and have actually been able to bring my acrobatics and stealth above zero. So adding +20 to my stealth could be fun too (when moving) and partnering up with our sneaky inquisitor.

Now I just need Goggles of Night...

Edit: And thanks to everyone for your advice and opinions!

It sounds like you are the rare player that actually has fun being a heal/aura bot. I don't think anyone will mind you being invisible.

Don't forget to Shield Other so you get more mileage out of your channels if you do go invisible.

Good advice. Thank you very much! And yeah I melee some but I know my role and I embrace it wholeheartedly. I understand why most people don't though: 1.) You rarely feel uber powerful when you're not actually dealing any damage while your barbarian buddy gets to do all the rampaging and decapitating and 2.) It happens all too often that all your buffing and healing gets taken for granted. I already see it some in this campaign. it's annoying but Total Party Kill is even more so. :)

Hello all. I'm currently playing a cleric of Pharasma with emphasis on healing/buffing/support in a Curse of the Crimson Throne campaign. We just hit 8th level and I have an unpicked feat still. I am considering taking Forge Ring and making myself a handy ring of invisibility. But am I reading it wrong or would that just be ridiculously powerful? I can be invisible while channelling positive energy, casting cure spells, casting prayer, bless, Blesing of Fervor, etc. None of these actions knock me out of invisibility. Does that sound too powerful? Would that tick you off if you were my dm? Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

No, but there are some perks if you're quick:

"The Rise of the Runelords Anniversary Edition is not part of any subscription, but Pathfinder Adventure Path subscribers who preorder this book will receive a free PDF edition of this book when the print edition ships. (Note that you will need to have an active AP subscription at the time the Anniversary Edition ships in order to receive the PDF for free.)"

Thanks! :)

I'm certain this has been asked and answered but I just don't have time to scour 800+ posts: I'm an Adventure Path Subscriber. Is this included in that subscription?

Hmm, so it seems subscribers are already receiving emails about 1.) the print edition shipping and 2.) being able to download the .pdf. Is there some reason I haven't received any emails about either of these? I'm not complaining: I just don't know how this works. (I signed up last week.)

EDIT: Looks like somehow no address was set on your subscription. Shoot me an email (customer.service at paizo.com) with the address you want it shipped to and I'll get it straightened out.

If you ever have questions or concerns about your order, please feel free to let us know by creating a new thread in the customer service forums or by sending us an email (customer.service at paizo.com).

Done. Thanks!

Just letting you know from what I have read how I "think" things work, just to give you a idea on what to expect. :)

Thank you very much. I appreciate the clarification. :)

Nope; not Baba Yaga. She's associated with Irrisen, not the Crown of the World

Well I didn't -think- you'd do that, but I sure was powerful skeered there for a moment.

"...they learn that a monstrous entity is manipulating the blizzards and storms of the north, and unless she is defeated..."

Hrm. Wonder if this a certain legendary hag...but if it is, 7th level characters would have a helluva time putting her down...but I may be completey off here.

All of the Face Card art comes from previously published products. For some people, that's possibly a detriment; for others, it's a selling point.

I don't really have any particular advice to offer about your situation, but I will note that there's a space on the back of each card so you can at least note which ones you've used before.

No worries. I appreciate the clarification. I'll just deal with it. Better to have the "dilemma" than to not have the cards at all, because they really are amazingly well done.

***(I'm going to repost the comment I left in the Friends and Foes discussion, because there might be a better chance of this one being seen here since it's a newer product. But the comment has to do with all the face cards series anyway)***

While at first glance, this series of npc cards sounds -awesome- to me because I love using art for almost every npc I create/use AND the art on these cards is beautiful to say the least. My worry though is: I'm just now starting in on Pathfinder. And if I decide to run an adventure path sometime down the line, I'm obviously going to run across npc portraits I've used before for characters I create in my first campaign, which is just all kinds of problematic.

Me: "And here's Queen Ileosa of Korvosa..."

Player with one raised eyebrow: "Um, wasn't that Baroness Whatshernameia of Magnimar in our last campaign?"

Me: "What's your Armor Class?"

Has anybody else had this problem? Also, will all future decks released (Urban, etc.) recycle portraits from the adventure paths?
And I guess they're not all from adventure paths, but I won't know which ones are unless I buy all the adventure paths and rummage through them, which I quite frankly can't afford to do. Thanks in advance for any comments/answers.
