I am a player in a SoT game. (No spoilers please)

We are trying a cool detailed branch advancement system instead of the RAW single roll, but we are at Branch 1 and Character Level 4 at the end of book 1. We aren't sure if this is normal.

Could anyone who has played/GM'd this let us know what Branch level players should be throughout the game?
Is it just roughly Level should equal Branch?

Chapter 2: During Deadtide for Otari

I wanted to share couple little story adjustments that I made to tie in some book 2 content.

Setup:
The PCs had made it to floor (and level) 2, but they had not seen any indication of Otari's ghost yet. The sterile story of the Roseguard is that Otari was buried in the graveyard overlooking the town. Eventually the rest of the original Roseguard joined him there.

This info could be shown at a founder's festival, an easy DC society check, or free to anyone who has lived in Otari for a couple years.

Event:
In the graveyard, I had the Gauntlight's beam focus on the mausoleum in the centre saying that it was Otari Ilvashti's. Obviously nothing comes out of it because the body isn't there. This can drive the players to dig further into the story of the Roseguard and interact with their living descendants before book 2.

Resolution:
Mayor Menhemes is one of the few people who knows that they never actually recovered Otari's body. This information was passed down through the family who feel slightly ashamed that they didn't spend more effort to find his body. This also allows the players to see his daughter pre-nightmares (book 2).

Is there a PRD that is organized by book?

For new players; both d20PFSRD and the Nethys one are just overwhelming even with just 1 additional book (3x backgrounds, nearly 2x feats, etc).

Is the original style PRD somewhere for P2?

Does increasing the Caster Level of a spell using Arcane Reservoir add the to the roll to overcome Spell Resistance?

Is there any way to download a dump of the Pathfinder PRD as it was?

The cheapest option for the PCG Collections is $54. Are there any slower, cheaper options?

TIA

Hi all,

I couldn't find a topic discussing staves with multiple spell classes. Maybe it's just obvious, maybe I didn't search well enough ;). This was found in an adventure path, so I thought that I would name it as the staff in case someone else has the same question.

Either way;

I have a level 15 sorcerer who just picked up a Staff of Heaven and Earth which can cast (And if they are wiz/sorc, or not):

Gust of wind - On sorc list
Stone shape - On sorc list
Air walk - Not on sorc list
Control winds - Not on sorc list
Spike stones - Not on sorc list

This is my understanding of how to cast these;
Gust of wind - Can cast using CHA for DC
Stone shape - Can cast using CHA for DC
Air walk - Use UMD to cast, using CHA for DC (Oracle)
Control winds - Use UMD to cast, using WIS for DC (Druid)
Spike stones - Use UMD to cast, using WIS for DC (Druid)

Is that correct?
Am I just able to cast all of them because I can cast one?
Do they use different stats, or do all use my CHA?

Cheers.

Hi all,

I'm in a group playing Kingmaker (just finished 2nd book). Since I'm a a bit of a spreadsheet nut, I am handling kingdom management. NOTE that this is based on the Ultimate Campaign Kingdom Management and NOT the system listed in Kingmaker book 1.

I created a mostly automated google sheets document to allow for easy management and sharing. This sheet allows us to run a turn in about 5-10 minutes (1 city with a <10 size kingdom).

Please leave any questions here, and I will try to generate a guide and FAQ based on what people find unclear.

Usage basics:


  • Blue is for manual entry / drop down selection
  • Grey is for formulas and (do not touch) cells
  • The name of each city must match the name of the city's tab
  • Lock the data tab once you have copied the sheet ;)

Manual operations:


  • Add/remove treasury BP
  • Generate magic items
  • Add/remove building discounts
  • City map layout
  • Army management not included yet (working on it)

(Mostly) Automated Kingdom Management Template:
Kingdom of Template

Our Kingdom as an example:
Barony of Greenbelt

Credit - The basic layout was modified from a completely manual spreadsheet but I cannot remember the source. I'm happy to credit that person once I figure out who they are.

Does a floating disc interact with vehicles?

Is there any reference that discusses what happens if you cast it while standing on a wagon / boat / dog sled?

1 person marked this as FAQ candidate.

Is there any chance that a 'Destroyed' condition could be added to Glossary in the next errata of the Core Rulebook?

The best reference I could find to describe this in the CRB under 'Damaging Magical Items' "A damaged magic item continues to function, but if it is destroyed, all its magical power is lost." But, there is no reference to what destroyed actually does. My assumption is (copied and edited from Broken condition):

---
Destroyed
Items that have taken damage in equal to or in excess of their total hit points gain the destroyed condition, meaning they are unusable for their intended purpose. All of the item's magical properties are suppressed and any charges are lost.

Items with the destroyed condition, regardless of type, are worth x% of their normal value. If the item is magical, it can only be repaired with a make whole spell cast by a character with a caster level is at least twice that of the item. Items lose the destroyed condition if the spell restores the object to more than 0 hit points. If the item still has less than half of its hit point total, then it gains the broken condition.
---

With this as a condition, all you have to say is '+1 Dagger (CL 3) (Destroyed)'. Then everyone is on the same page much like '+1 Dagger (CL 3) (Broken)'

Thoughts?

It's stated in a faq (still not on the PRD) that Oracles can't select revelations more than once unless specifically stated:
http://paizo.com/paizo/faq/v5748nruor1fn#v5748eaic9nk0

But, I haven't found any revelations that state that they can be taken more than once (Battle - Weapon Mastery being a prime candidate). Is there a "select more than once" revelation that I have overlooked, or is this just an oversight after the initial oversight?

Hi,

My players are about to run into a Tentamort (shhhh, don't tell them) and I'm not sure if this is a typo, or I'm missing something. The poison says "frequency 2 rounds". I'm not very familiar with poisons, but I think that I'm expecting it to say something like "frequency 1/round for 2 rounds"

http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/additionalMonsters/tentamort.html

I've only found one other post on this from "Astral Wanderer" asking the same questions and suggesting that it should be "1/rnd for 2 rnds"

Thoughts?

I had a RAW question. My understanding of Magic Item Creation time is (ignoring rushed crafting for now):

Maximum 8 hours of work a day.
Normal crafting time is 8 hours per 1000gp (minimum 8 hours)
Potions or scrolls under 250gp crafting time: 2 hours

My understanding of...
"8 hours of work per 1,000 gp in the item's base price (or fraction thereof)"
...is that you have to round up the cost of any magic item to the nearest 1,000 gp for purposes of determining crafting time.

Therefore an item that has a base cost of 1250gp will take 16 hours.

Is that correct?

One of my party members is on the opposite side of a hostile ancient city. He is sleeping in a friendly camp (missed the previous session) and free to leave at any time. However, in-game time is a factor so we are thinking up options to meet up with him quickly.

So, I (I play a teleportation specialist wizard) would like to know, is there is spell that could teleport/summon/call a willing ally to me?

It doesn't matter what level or class, I'm just wondering if it exists.

Thank you in advance.

I searched for this and couldn't find any posts so maybe this hasn't come up before.

Under the Fighter's Armor Training ability, it states:
http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/classes/fighter.html#_armor-training

"Starting at 3rd level, a fighter learns to be more maneuverable while wearing armor. Whenever he is wearing armor, he reduces the armor check penalty by 1 (to a minimum of 0) and increases the maximum Dexterity bonus allowed by his armor by 1. Every four levels thereafter (7th, 11th, and 15th), these bonuses increase by +1 each time, to a maximum –4 reduction of the armor check penalty and a +4 increase of the maximum Dexterity bonus allowed.

In addition, a fighter can also move at his normal speed while wearing medium armor. At 7th level, a fighter can move at his normal speed while wearing heavy armor."

1. One of my players has interpreted this as saying that a fighter can move at normal speed while in medium armour.

2. I interpret this as saying that once the fighter has this ability (at level 3) then he is able to move at normal speed in medium armour.

Every other ability that I've looked at clearly states the level that each part of it is acquired. But, because there is a break between the portion of the ability that states "At 3rd level" and the "wearing medium armor" portion, I can see his point and I would prefer community clarification.

References would be ideal if they exist, but either way, thank you in advance.

Hi all,

My connection timed our while I was adding my first PFS character to my account so I had to re-enter all the information. While doing so, I forgot to change the radial button to "Shadow Lodge". My character shows as "Grand Lodge" and I don't see any way to correct this.

Am I missing an option somewhere?
Is this the correct place for this post?
Should I contact someone (if so, who?)

Thank you in advance.

I ran into the same bug on the web site recently. If you click on your character, then click "edit" to change things, your faction isn't shown as something you can change.

However, if you go to your main Pathfinder Society page, where it has "My Characters" and a list, then you can click "edit" without going into the character first, and the factions will show up for you to change yours.
