Thanks, I ended up finding some rules that worked for the encounter within both the Airship rules, as well as the Companions of the Firmament Flying rules. Between both products the encounter played out very well.
How dare Paizo pay their employees instead of keeping them locked up in cage in the warehouse with merely a typewriter and coffee for company. My problem is not with people being paid a fair or even a good wage as I personally think that's the way it should be. Mine is quite the opposite as I hate the idea of printing the books in China, even if there would be a bump in prices printing with a more friendly country. That though is another argument for a different time. Keep up the good work Paizo, I truly hope a wage increase is in all your employees near future.
Just getting ready start the Slumbering Tsar Saga and am wondering what point buy (15, 20, 25) is recommended during the start of character creation.
I fully understand the scenario of the delay but I also know the reaction of the evil mage would change as well. When confronted with three enemies within 20' feet of him, no allies near him and seeing a ranged weapon pointing in his direction he would change his actions. His initiative has not come up yet and when it does he commands undead to protect him instead of casting a spell and therefore the Ranger never gets of his attacks because a spell was never cast. I wanted to make sure that we were playing everything out properly before moving forward with the initiative.
Psychic Warrior is truly my favorite class but unfortunately not an option.
Plane and simple,Ultimate Psionics is considered as a Core Rulebook at our groups table.
If this is to be a book of variant rules, I would love to see new systems for spell casting other than the Vancian (spellpoints, etc.).
Is Paizo going to sell this product or should I go elsewhere to buy it. This looks like something something are group must have and I have trusted Endzeitgeist on a couple of products to date, and he hasn't let me down. Thanks for the info, I to am in Canada and will be ordering this product, but I just thought shipping cheaper if ordering from Paizo because I receive a monthly order anyway.

Yes our group uses psionics in all Campaigns we play. Yes we use Magic/Psionics Transparency, makes for easy integration into any gaming group. Yes to RAW. As to any extra work when it comes to adding the rules set, I would say yes to consuming some extra time initially but once you learn the Power Point system it becomes just as fluid as any other aspect of the game.
I truly don't believe we need a 2nd edition to the Pathfinder RPG but I am always interested in better rules to retrofit into my existing game. For that reason I am asking other gamers on their opinions on how to improve this great system that we enjoy playing.
I have just started a campaign of rogues, monks and fighters only, using the talented line. Very fun. Sounds great, the Barbarians are finally being treated as a people not a class. You know with all the great 3PPs out there, Paizo will never need to make a 2.0, for it's easy enough to plug these products into the existing game and be off and running with a much improved RPG.
This book is in my top 3 books I purchased in the last year - Mythic Adventures and Dreamscarred's Psionic books the others.
We use the "massive damage" rule at our table whenever it is called for. The way our group see's it, death lurk's around every corner, though it rarely come's to visit, yet there should always a chance it comes knocking. The massive damage rule's are just another means to that end, and though hp's are abstract taking 50 hp's or getting them cut in half on one single attack, in our minds should bring on the onset of shock and/or possible death. We have gone one step further in all truth and have added a +1 to the fortitude save for ever 10 hp over the bench mark 50 hp (eg. 60hp sv @ 16 fort. 70hp sv @ 17 fort. etc.). Yes, it sucks when a PC dies, but the upside is at lower levels you try something new and at higher levels death is temporary anyway so add a little drama. We as a group always play with six member's in our party and that could be why we find death to be less significant when it does happen. Yet because of bad choices and/or luck there should be some repercussions and added stresses to the rest of the party. My question is why do people exclude this rule? Do they not see death as an option in there games? Does it happen to often in their group's? We always found it to be a viable option (massive damage) and I'm wondering are we as a group looking at it wrong.
Vassago, I totally agree with everything you stated for this just perpetuates the race to the bottom mentality (lower wages =good sense for all). With the disintegration of the middle class @ hand and the new “Right to Work” Legislation happening in the USA, the wage disparity between the rich and poor continues to grow. Thankfully I live in Canada and we’re not seeing this @ such extremes as of now but if this continues it’s only a matter of time. As a Trade Unionist not to mention a father of two boys this trend is scary @ best and who knows what the worst case scenario truly is. I buy Canadian whenever possible, then North American and European next even if the product tend to be a little more pricey, for there is an old sang that is still true to this day “You get what you pay for”. |
