So when I ran my party through Curse of the Crimson Throne, I also threw in Academy of Secrets, partly because we had a character that was an ex-student Arcanist that had gotten expelled due to reasons and I thought it would be cool to revisit now that the Arcanist had grown in power.
I'm going to move forward assuming GMs or folks that have played AoS and CotCT are reading this...
During AoS, they had confronted Toff Ornelos and ended up fighting him, killing him before he could escape. Upon the conclusion of CotCT, the Arcanist player (well before Shadows at Sundown was ever announced) liked the idea that his character would become the Headmaster of Acadamae and start the rebranding process. This paired with the party creating a Council of different cultural representatives to rule the city.
Even more importantly, at this point the heroes that defeated Illeosa had stymied Lothract's plans twice now (I think at the time with a successful knowledge check, I had let the players know at the end that Illeosa's contract was ultimately held by Lothract and he was not pleased)
Working in the Council instead of Queen Cressida is going to be easy enough, my difficulty arises in replacing Headmaster Toff Ornelos in SaS particularly since part of his motivation is knowing he is just a figurehead.
Would having a Deputy/Assistant Headmaster that is in unwilling service to Lothract (maybe always opposed to the Arcanist's progressive policies) is the one that interacts with the PCs? (Potentially the new Headmaster is down in Absalom visiting the Arcanarium for a symposium or something, getting that high-level PC out of town)
Any other fun thoughts? I've got about 6 months before we get close to me running this, but I know I'll be running it!

After meeting with Sinjin before heading to Horse Eye Orbital Plate, one of my players really latched onto the "releasing the null-space tech to the rest of the Pact Worlds" argument that Sinjin was using. So much so, they actually want to broadcast as much details about the technology and/or the Oliphaunt that they can before going to hand it off to Sinjin and the Golden League.
So much of Eline Reisora's motivation throughout the later books is to get the ship back before the loss of the ship is known throughout the rest of EJ Corp. Even the "partnership" between Eline and Sinjin in Book
My question: How would this impact the story in later books?
My initial thoughts: Eline might still go after the PCs for revenge and Sinjin might still go after them for the ship. However, it goes more towards pure revenge instead of being a cover-up situation.
What do folks think it might do to any particular encounters in later books (thinking in particular books 4,5 & 6)?

Hello!
I'm looking at building a Ysoki Soldier with the Hunter combat-style and am looking at also utilizing the creature companion and mount rules from AA3.
What I'm noticing though is that while the feat might be called Combat-Trained Mount, it is not in fact considered a combat feat. I'm looking at making this character Society legal (otherwise I would talk to a home GM about it and try and get it considered as a combat feat).
Am I crazy in thinking at least the combat-trained mount feat should be labeled as a 'Combat' feat?

This isn't a mechanical note, but more of a setting note.
Will we be getting any sort of setting information in regards to how Solarion & Vanguards interact in the setting? I feel like their 'power sources' are fairly similar what with "suns form and galaxies die" in the Vanguard description and the Solarion using Solar Manifestations.
I feel like, for instance a Vanguard could just as likely train at the Pradulex Monastery as a Solarion, but I may be off-base and getting that clarified on the final product might be good.

I'm thinking making my first character a goblin druid in the Animal Companion order.
In particular, I am thinking of taking the Rough Rider Ancestry Feat, which reads as thus:
ROUGH RIDER Goblin FEAT 1
Any creature that will bear your weight can
become your loyal steed, and you know how to coax even the strangest beasts into service. You gain the Ride feat, even if you don’t meet the prerequisites. You gain a +1 circumstance bonus to Nature checks to Handle a goblin dog or wolf mount. For more
about the Nature skill, see page 152.
My big question is, assuming an animal companion becomes Medium (which most will do at 4th level), will this allow a Goblin to ride an animal companion without the special Mount quality?

My group is starting to prepare and schedule what we would like to do for the Playtest. Currently we have 2 regular GMs (myself and one other). We alternate who is GMing weekly between 2 different campaigns.
My primary question is this: Is it possible to have each of us GM different Parts of Doomsday Dawn? (i.e. he GMs Parts 1,4,7 and I GM the rest or some other set-up like that)
This is partly because both of us want to play (and honestly I think both of us want to tryout the rules from the other side of the screen as well). However, it also allows us not to take a huge 3 month break from either one of our campaigns. Ultimately we've already conceded we probably aren't following the quick schedule, but we'll complete the surveys as we complete the parts - since Jason Buhlman stated they'd be open for some time after the 2 week window (3 for Part 1).

I ran 1-08 Sanctuary of Drowned Delight for the first time the other day.
The rest of the story:
After the introduction and finding out from Fitch that the Arniselle lodge was of an old standardized design, on of my players asked if they could get the basic layout of the lodge.
At the time, I couldn't think of any reason why something like that wouldn't be easily accessible so I gave the PCs a basic layout of the lodge, minus the area beyond the secret door.
Could there have been a better way for me to handle that?
Sacramento Pathfinder & Starfinder Society Lodge would like to invite any and all intrepid adventurers - be you a daring Vesk Operative working for the Starfinder Society to better the Veskarium or a devilishly good looking Half-Orc Bard looking for the next great ballad - to look no further than ConQuest Avalon in Northern California!
We will be hosting numerous tables of both Pathfinder Society Organized Play (PFS) and Starfinder Society Organized Play (SFS), including at least one multi-table convention special!
Worried about the cost of attendance? We are always looking for enthusiastic GMs! If you commit to GMing at least 3 tables throughout the weekend, you won’t have to worry about getting in! (If you want to GM, contact jared@thalernet.com)
Dates: November 17th-19th
Location: Sacramento, CA

I'm currently a player in the Dead Sun's AP, and just hit level 2 with my Lashunta Solarian, and I'm also a Society GM that is curious about this in case I see it in play. I have a question about Stellar Rush, which reads as thus (emphasis mine):
SFCRB pg.104 wrote:
Stellar Rush(Su)(Photon):
As a standard action, you can wreathe yourself in stellar fire and make a charge without penalties (See pg. 248).
When you are attuned or fully attuned, you can substitute a bull rush for the melee attack at the end of the charge. Whether or not you succeed at the bull rush, the target takes 2d6 fire damage (Reflex half). This damage increases by 1d6 at 6th level and every 2 levels thereafter.
Then Charge says (emphasis mine):
SFCRB pg.248 wrote:
Charging is a full action that allows you to move up to double your speed and make a melee attack at the end of the movement. You can draw a weapon during a charge attack if your base attack bonus is at least +1. Charging carries tight restrictions on how you can move. You must move at least 10 feet (2 squares), and all movement must be directly toward the designated opponent, though diagonal movement is allowed. You must have a clear path toward the opponent, and you must move to the space closest to your starting square from which you can attack the opponent. If this space is occupied or blocked, you can’t charge. If any line from your starting space to the ending space passes through a square that blocks movement, slows movement (such as difficult terrain), or contains a creature (even an ally), you can’t charge. You can still move through helpless creatures during a charge. If you don’t have line of sight (see page 271) to the opponent at the start of your turn, you can’t charge that opponent.
Attacking on a Charge:
After moving, you can make a single melee attack. You take a –2 penalty to the attack roll and a –2 penalty to your AC until the start of your next turn. You can’t move any farther after the attack. Some classes, including solarian and soldier, grant abilities that modify attacks made on charges
Does that mean that a Solarian that takes Stellar Rush can first use their move action to move up to their speed and then use a standard action to use Stellar Rush, allowing them to move up to double their speed in the charge. Thus allowing them to effectively move up to 3x their speed in a round? Or is there something akin to partial charges (i.e. standard action only) like in Pathfinder that I haven't come across yet?

I'm the GM and I have a Paladin of Sheyln that was afflicted with the Insanity Spell (CL 20), and the party does not have any of the requisite spells to get rid of the Insanity right away. Instead of just having the character be "confused" until the party can cure the Insanity, the player asked if we could use the Madness rules.
I randomly determined which ones he was afflicted with and they ended up being:
My first big question is: Does the Will penalty from Amnesia and Multiple Personality Disorder stack? Off hand, I want to think so since the penalty is from two different sources and I have found nothing that states what penalty type they are.
Next question: If the party is able to get their hands on a Heal spell, would the alignment change from Psychosis revert back to original OR would the character still be Chaotic Evil?

So my party will probably make its first attempt at Artrosa tonight and I'm doing my prep work, when I realize that they want Erdija to follow the PCs until they basically tell her to go away.
How would she follow them during the climb up to the top of one of the cliffs?
Would the party need to either get her magical flight (which is possible) or jury-rig something else up(which would be hard to do since it is about half a mile up).
Or should I just handwave it and treat her climb as any other PC/NPCs climb ignoring the fact that she has horse hooves for feet?

Hello!
My VTT group is going to be starting another AP in about 2 months or so and we have narrowed it down to Hell's Vengeance and Reign of Winter. As the GM, I don't have any particular preference over the two.
All of the players are willing to be in an Evil campaign and we have talked about consent and the like in regards to HV. I'm just looking for some input from folks that have played/GM'd at least one (if not both) of these APs to give me some insight into the pros/cons of each AP from a play perspective and/or a GM perspective. Thanks in advance!
Pathfinder Adventure, Adventure Path, Lost Omens, Rulebook, Starfinder Adventure Path, Starfinder Roleplaying Game Subscriber
So I am looking to get some newer players to play an Adventure Path. I'd like to be able to give them a 1-2 page list with a one sentence description of each of the APs.

Hello,
I'm running my party through Hell's Rebels and they are currently 8th level. One of the players is playing as a Promethean Alchemist. In the early levels if/when the homonculus died, I didn't worry too much about the cost of 1 pint of blood/Hit Die of the homonculus.
However, now the party is 8th level and the homonculus has 6HD. Meaning if my players wants to bring back the homonculus after it is 'killed', it would take 6 pints of blood. (In the real world with current donation guidelines, this would take a full year to safely donate)
I have been unable to figure out how this actually translates into a mechanical consequence. Off hand, I was thinking of 1 point of Con damage/pint of blood.
Meaning that in a safe environment there is a good chance that the Shaman in the party can cast Restoration spells to off-set the Con damage as it happens so that at the higher hit dice the homonculus can still be brought back. This would make bringing her back mid-adventure/dungeon crawl a lot more difficult, but allow downtime to be used to bring her back fairly easily.

Hello!
My party plays on a VTT and we only get 2-2.5 hours per session to play every week (and sometimes even less). The end of Turn of the Torrent ended up taking us 4-5 sessions to complete because the current party is woefully not built for aquatic combat and we just slog through it. So much so, that my players are becoming more frustrated with the adventure than actually having fun.
With that in mind, I want to reach out and see if anybody has any ideas about replacing the Acisazi village & Menotheguro. Ideally something that still makes sense for the Silver Ravens to make alliance with that would help against Cheliax's navy much as the aquatic elves would.
I have just started reading book 4 and plan on finishing it this week, but I don't know if the Acisazi have a strong role to play in the AP after the alliance is secured.

We just started Emerald Spire a few sessions ago and my players didn't much like the light effect of the first level (especially since the ranged character only had Low-Light), and I think they had a good time on the second level with the spiders.
The issue is:
Spoiler:
On the third level, when they fought Jaris Phenogian and his Iron Cobra their luck started to change. First their scout failed the Fort save with the Blue Winnis poison the Cobra has and fell unconscious. Then the second round comes around and their next frontliner a Cavalier also rolls poorly when the Cobra hit him and he is unconscious as well. I finally get Jaris into position and the remaining two players make their saves vs the Color Spray and they promptly start working on making a tactical withdrawal. Sadly, they don't get away fast enough and Jaris is able to get close enough to use his Arcane Bond (Ring) with Color Spray and both of the surviving players are hit with his Color Spray. They are 3rd level so they were stunned for 1d4+1 rounds. I basically had Jaris tie up the players and we ended the session so that I could prep what I wanted to do next with the group since I did not want to do a TPK.
Within reason, where should the players be kept as prisoner within the Emerald Spire or Level 3 of the Spire? (I have 5 players but the 5th was not at the session, I'm just going to have his character with them for group cohesion purposes)

I know that the ACG Playtest is old news, but I was reading through Demon's Heresy and one particular NPC jumped out to me as a GREAT candidate for a re-write using an ACG class. I also upped his power by just a tad to hopefully make him more dangerous for Mythic PCs, but YMMV. Here he is.

Note: These stats are with him Raging & with his Demonic Bulk already adjusted. BUT it is not adjusting for any spells you might have him cast before a fight with your PCs. Power Attack adjustments have not been made yet as well.
Second Note: I did make some sub-optimal spell & mythic ability choices as I tried to keep in mind that he isn't normally fighting mythic enemies, but leading raids against regular crusaders.

Here is the scenario:
My wizard is flying above the enemies. I'd like to cast Burning Hands on them, straight down.
The disagreement came that I believed it should essentially be a 15' Radius, much like a actual 3-D cone with the caster being at the top of the cone, but my GM felt it would still essentially be a regular 15' cone shape, with some minor adjustments.
I went with the ruling after a couple minutes of discussion, but I just wanted to know what other think about it as well.
If this has been discussed before I do apologize, but I couldn't find any threads discussing this.

So, I'm looking at starting Wrath of the Righteous, but it looks like I'm only going to have three players. It looks like I have a couple of options available to me and I'd like some input on the options.
1) Simply go through & edit encounters for the fact that there are only three PCs
2)Make a GMPC to fill the gap of whatever the party needs.
3) Edit one of the NPCs in Wrath of the Righteous to be a GMPC throughout.
4) Let one of my more expierence players simply play a 2nd character to fill the necessary gap.
These option aren't listed in any particular order of preference.

Is it possible for a weapon to have both the Spell Storing Enhancement and the Dispelling enhancement? If this has already been covered, I do apologize in advance.
A spell storing weapon allows a spellcaster to store a single targeted spell of up to 3rd level in the weapon. (The spell must have a casting time of 1 standard action.) Anytime the weapon strikes a creature and the creature takes damage from it, the weapon can immediately cast the spell on that creature as a free action if the wielder desires. (This special ability is an exception to the general rule that casting a spell from an item takes at least as long as casting that spell normally.) Once the spell has been cast from the weapon, a spellcaster can cast any other targeted spell of up to 3rd level into it. The weapon magically imparts to the wielder the name of the spell currently stored within it. A randomly rolled spell storing weapon has a 50% chance of having a spell stored in it already. This special ability can only be placed on melee weapons.
A spell storing weapon emits a strong aura of the evocation school, plus the aura of the spell currently stored.
CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS
Craft Magic Arms and Armor, creator must be a caster of at least 12th level; Cost +1 bonus
A dispelling weapon functions like a spell storing weapon, but it may only store dispel magic; however, the caster level check to dispel gains an additional bonus equal to the weapon's enhancement bonus. This bonus also applies to a magus's dispelling strike arcana or a barbarian's spell sunder or sunder enchantment combat maneuver check.
CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS
Craft Magic Arms and Armor, dispel magic, creator must be a caster of at least 10th level; Cost +1 bonus
