I have basically given up on trying to track my Paizo orders. The tracking number doesn't work and even though I have a USPS account, I don't get notifications from there either.

I finally received my replacement miniatures from WizKids. I had two broken Leng Spiders and 3 broken Skavelings. I put in my replacement request a few days after Darklands Rising was made available for requesting replacements.
I ended up receiving:
1 Giant Stag Beetle
1 Fleshwarp, Ghonatine
1 Adamantine Golem
1 Skaveling
1 Leng Spider
The replacement Leng Spider was broken. This is more than a little frustrating, especially since they are presumably going require me to pay to ship the Leng Spider back and I have no guarantee that I'll get an unbroken Leng Spider as replacement.
The Leng Spider is one of the most poorly designed miniatures I've ever seen. Who thought it was a good idea to mount such a heavy mass of plastic on such flimsy anchor points?
This is definitely making me reconsider my Pathfinder Battles subscription.

I received my Pathfinder Battles order and here were six minis (two huge and four large) that were broken. It's been a long time since I've had to deal with broken minis in an order and I seem to vaguely remember that the process has changed for getting replacements. Can some direct me to the process for broken minis?
Also this is the first time in years that I didn't get at least one of each mini in the set. I know it isn't guaranteed, but it is still disappointing.

I ordered the Pathfinder Battles: Darklands Rising Premium Figure Mengkare, Great Wyrm and put it in my sidecart. However, I notice that it is only giving me a 15% discount instead of the 30% I should have received from my Pathfinder Battles subscription. Can that please corrected?

I got my order today and apparently my order was packaged using the last of a container of packing peanuts. There was packing peanut powder everywhere. It was stuck to everything. It was inside my books, even the AP sealed in a shipping envelope! Not a huge fan of getting sent packing peanut powder. This has never happened before and I hope it never does again.
Also, I almost missed that there was a promo mini mixed in with the packing peanuts. I wasn't expecting it, so I wasn't looking for it.

I assume it was to everyone. It informed you that the shipping cost was going to be higher because the box was bigger than normal. At least I thought it was an email, but I can't find it anymore.

I just received notification of this order and the shipment notification for this order today. However, I have never had the Pathfinder comic set to ship as soon as possible, so I'm not sure why this issue is being sent this way.
I DON'T want the comic shipped by itself. This basically doubles the price of the comic and is not what I have ever wanted.
I sent and email before I received the shipment notification that hasn't been answered and when I called it went straight to voicemail.

Is the download going to have the same sale price as the previous parts?
The price is different when you add it to your cart then what is listed. It displayed the download price for me as $12.99 and with the discount it was $12.79.
Yes I know, but when the previous four were released the downloads were on sale for 10.39. It would be nice to know if that is supposed to be the sale price of the download or if they have for some reason stopped having the sale price for downloads. However, it seems fairly obvious that no one at Paizo is paying attention to this thread since there have been no responses and the display price for the download hasn't been corrected.

This is getting a little frustrating. This is the fourth month in a row that my subscriptions have been much later than normal and two of those months have completely missed the end date for shipping. That's a third of a year. And now we're hitting December, the busiest shipping time of the year with no reason to expect those subscriptions to be on time either. Paizo is very quickly eroding any of the goodwill that has built up over the years. Reactive customer service only goes so far.
Adventure Path Charter Subscriber; Pathfinder Lost Omens, Rulebook Subscriber
What are the chances for the remaining 4/5ths being completed today? It appears that for those of us that don't get shipped today, our December order will spawning before our November order will ship. If that happens can our two months of subscriptions be combined to save on shipping?

Is there any chance that both this set, the Rise of the Runelords set and any future sets could be listed under "Pathfinder® / Pathfinder Miniatures" like the Reaper, WizKids and Pathfinder Paper Minis? That way there is one place to find these. I would never have found either of these except they were mentioned in some forum posts.
So, in Carrion Crown my Magus is likely soon to be insane (the GM is using some 3rd party insanity rules), and my most likely replacement character will be Kendra Lorrimor, who recently hitched up with the party (We're in Chapter 4, Wake of the Watcher)
Here's how she was provided by the GM... I'd like to come up with a plan to level her after this that will make her fun and awesome...
Her Divining makes her great out of combat but want ideas that will make her a contributor in and out of combat,... while also following the story. She respected/admired the my Magus, so following in his footsteps makes some sense... and he's obsessed originally with storm based and electrical magics, but because of the campaign is now obsessed with necromancy. I could see her continuing to focus on divining, or put some energy into necromancy because of the magus AND her father's research. The magus has been toying with animating dead.

Diviners Delving

Iron Will

Scribe Scroll
Craft Wand
Spell Focus Divination
Spells

4: Charm Monster, Scrying, Enervation, Greater Invisibility, Mneomonic Enhancer

Given the severe lack of downtime in Carrion Crown, retraining and crafting time are limited.
Can someone point me to a thread about the math, or at least an explanation for why we start at -4 for proficiency? What's the reasoning for it.
Why not start at 0 for untrained, then boost as you gain... trained would be +4, etc. And just boost all the DC's by four? This seems so much more positive for the players. Instead of having a bunch of depression-inducing -4's, the character gains a boost (not just erases a negative) when they get trained.
I know that Paizo recently increased the gap between untrained and trained by reducing untrained from -2 to -4... and reduced some DCs. But couldn't we have done the same thing by upping untrained to +2... wouldn't even have had to lower DCs in that case.
Again, my objective here is to get pointed to a discussion on why the design decision to make "Trained" being +0 is important, why choose starting at -4.
I pretty much only play current season scenarios at PaizoCon... if I can just play 2-4 sessions, with my son... Level 6 druid, and Level 7 Paladin... what are the most recommended, or "must-play" scenarios?
Given this'll also likely be these characters' last foray before being obsoleted!
Clairaudience-Clairvoyance - from the spell, "but the locale must be known – a place familiar to you, or an obvious one"
A familiar place just needs to be within range, but what does "or an obvious one" mean.
If the character is outside of a building the've never been in and there is NO way to see inside it (or outside a door in a dungeon... no key hole)... is it an "obvious place" to just place the Clairaudience-Clairvoyance eye within the never-before-seen building.
If you see a ship in the harbor a couple hundred feet away... is inside the hull of the ship and obvious place, even though the diviner can't see within it and has never been there?

Go check them out! I find myself choosing to listen to this podcast instead of catching up on my various tv shows, and getting excited at the prospect of an 8 hour drive where I can listen!
If someone wanted to go through all 7 (8?) seasons, to 1) progress characters from 1-12, and maybe again start over with another set if we max out... and 2) to get a feel for the overall story so far, what scenarios would you suggest from each season (again, in order so characters could advance from level 1 on. So, levels 1-2 in season one, 3-4 in season 2, etc.)
Any seasons that are not important to the story line.
I am part of an after-school gaming club that is meeting for our last session and they wanted to try Pathfinder.
Seven kids, five of which have never played (the two that have played are my kids). I have about an hour and fifteen minutes. They've already picked some 1st level pregens and their homework was to read the character sheets, so we should be able to hop right into it.
I want to give them somewhat of a dungeon crawl experience and am currently thinking of running Ambush in Absalom. Boosting the number of baddies due to having 7 characters.
Are any of the other quests a better dungeon experience? Any other recommendations? Probably has to be a quest given the time limit and being the last session.
We are doing an after-school table top gaming program (a few days of gaming after school for an hour). One of the middle-school students, who has been reading the beginner box rules (that we have at the library), wants to play some Pathfinder. We will likely only do this one of the nights, so I am hoping for a 45 minute scenario.
Are the PAX (or other convention) scenarios available anywhere?

I was looking to create a character that could cinematically enter combat, provoking AOOs, disarming is opponent, and clobbering the opponent with his own weapon. (or tripping him, or whatever)
Originally I planned to use the Panther Style chain to get attacks on the AOOs, but it looks like Panther Style only allows a strike, not a maneuver.
Is there other way to be able to perform a maneuver against an AOO. Or something where if maneuver is successful then get attack?
Until I discovered the problem with Panther Style, the build was
I am reading through the D&D 5e PHP right now to get a feel for it and it got me thinking out action economy and Pathfinder.
One issue with Pathfinder action economy is that iterative attacks, two weapon fighting, etc are all full round actions. This makes combat pretty static as everyone is stuck with 5' steps.
One thing I like about 5e is that movement can happen before/after/between attacks.
As a simple solution to the static combat inherent in full-round actions. What would be the implications in Pathfinder of ...
1) Allowing movement before/after/between attacks.
2) Instead of killing all movement for full round actions, allowing half-movement.
There's probably a couple of feats that would be invalidated/useless (something that allows an attack during movement). But what other implications does the above have?
(Note: I already looked at the action economy in Unchained, and it had some undesirable consequences on classes such as the Magus, that rely on swift actions.)
I'm about to run the second chapter of Rise of the Runelords. I'd like to try 5E for kicks to see how my players like it compared to Pathfinder.
Wizards STILL doesn't offer PDFs, so I have to buy physical books.
What books do I NEED to buy to try it out? I figure the Player's Handbook so that we can recreate the characters. But Do I NEED the DMG? Does the PH cover most combat, etc?
I plan to do monster conversion on the fly (or ahead of time, but using these ideas.)
I don't want to invest a bunch of money into it yet. It'll have to be a pretty amazing experience to pull me from Pathfinder ...
It looks as if most Dwarven Forge pieces are set up for either 7.5 or 15+ foot hallways? Is this true or are there sets of pieces that allow for the more common 5' hallways you see in most pregenerated adventures.
From what I can tell it would be difficult to recreate much of what you see in either modern Pathfinder AP's (5' hallways), or most original modules (10' hallways being very common.)

Can you do the following.
1- Take Improved Unarmed Strike
2- Take feats that require improved unarmed strike as a prereq
3- Take Monk and gain improved unarmed strike
4- Retrain the initial improved unarmed strike.
Retraining rule, "The old feat can't be one you used as a prerequisite for a feat, class feature, archetype, prestige class, or other ability."
So the initial improved unarmed strike was technically used as a prerequisite, but you now have the feat again and are still meeting all your requirements.
If the rules disallow something that "was ever used as a prereq" it would mean that even if you retrained the feats that were dependent on Improved Unarmed Strike so it was no longer a prereq, you could not retrain it since at one time it was used as a prereq.
Should it really read, "The old feat can't currently be used as a prerequisite ..."
EDIT: I looked on the boards, but only found similar, but not exactly the same questions.
Ok … so I am trying to build a character that fights with a combination of unarmed strikes, disarms, trips, along with his primary weapon. I see him taking opponents weapons through disarm and using them against his foes, etc. I would like to build something "cinematic". Not looking to optimize, but rather have fun and have many options as to what he can do.
The main feats I am interested in are feats that allow him to react to other actions through aoo's such as the panther Style feat chain (get free attacks based off of other's AOOs), and the snake style feat chain (late in the chain - get extra attacks if you crit and when opponent misses you.)
I am thinking Fighter Lore Warden as it gives plenty of feats and bonuses to CMB.
The current build I have looks like (20 point)
STR: 16
DEX: 14 (Raised at 4 and 8 to gain AC and an extra AOO)
CON: 10
Int: 13 for improved Combat Maneuvers (Gets expertise without prereq, but does not say you get improved combat maneuvers without int)
Wis: 15 for snake style feat chain
Char: 10
I don't like to dump.
I don't want to give up weapon focus/mastery as that is his primary form of attack, the combat maneuvers are for fun.
Traits are - This is for Serpant's Skull
- Mwangi Scholar
- Martial Manuscript
Other possible feats
Viscous Stomp
Improved Dirty Fighter
Toughness
Whirl wind attack ...
All the other maneuvers, bull rush, drag, etc)
Anyone have any thoughts to make this, not necessarily optimized, but MORE FUN to play. I love having options every round, not just picking the optomized attack. It's why I like panther and snake styles, giving extra attacks based on AOO or an opponent missing, I would not feel bad "wasting" that on a dirty trick for instance.
Again, his sword is his main weapon, so what weapon feats should be snuck in (or added after level 11)?
(I don't think it's viable given the need to boost CMB as much as possible but some mix with inquisitor could be good given the Snake Style synergies with the inquisitor's sense motive.)
Ok, Paizo has an RPG, and have expanded into a board/card game, they have miniatures and toys, novels, comics, and we're looking at an MMO, a CRPG, and definitely a tablet app for the card game.
So I am looking for where the Lore Warden is actually printed. All references say in the "Pathfinder Society Field Guide", but the one I have, which is "Year of the Demon" does not have it. I would like to obtain the PDF.
Is this shirt good for a PFS re-roll ... is it the "Goblinworks Kickstarter shirt" from the Guide to PFS?
For that matter, is this the same shirt that came with the technology demo $100 level? I backed both Kickstarters, but didn't get the shirt and would like one. However, if it is the same shirt, I find it odd that just anyone can buy them. It seems like it should be limited to "Goblin Squad" members ... however I do see the advantage of advertising the game.
Ok … so I am trying to build a character that fights with a combination of unarmed strikes, disarms, trips, and a weapon. I see him taking opponents weapons through disarm and using them against his foes, etc. Basically cinematic fighting.
The main feats I am interested in are feats that allow him to react to other actions through aoo's such as the panther Style feat chain (get free attacks based off of other's AOOs), and the snake style feat chain (get extra attacks if you crit, and later if an opponent misses you.)
To do ALL of this I would need/want (I don't think I'd get it all but)
Int 13 - for Panther style chain and combat expertise
Wis 15 - for Snake Style
Dex enough to matter to get extra AOOs
acrobatics 6
Sense Motive 9
Improved Disarm
Improved Trip
Panther style
Pangther claw
Panther Parry
Snake style - sense 3, acro 1 Sense motive to AC
Snake Sidewind - sense 6, acro 3 Confirm with sense motive instead, 5' step if confirm.
Snake Fang - sense 9, acro 6 If opponent misses can attack
Desirable
Two weapon fighting
Vicious Stop
Greater Trip
This is easy to do with a fighter or brawler(or monk, but meh) and a Lore Warden is perfect for this to to his Maneuver bonuses.
Here is where I get stupid and want too much though.
I don't care about optimizing him (He's got to be useful, but not perfect), and what I love in characters is options. I like having many things to choose between each round, melee options (not just your one highest DPS swing), spells, SLAs, etc.
The above build gives awesome options for melee, but I would like to work in some inquisitor or something like that to get spells and other options. Some SLAs through elf or half-elf for example may help too …
Other feats like the styles that allow retaliatory strikes?
I want a solid 12 level build … don't anticipate getting to go past that
Ideas? Thanks!
Edit: a Lore Warden 6, Inquisitor 6 is an interesting build … the inquisitor's sense motive boosts work well with the Snake Style use of Sense Motive
