When you start mixing cards from multiple Adventure Paths, things begin to get weird. There are similar issues discussed in other threads like this and this.

Personally, I have a few house rules that I play by to address some of this.

First, I don't let cards that say they automatically succeed at checks work on combat checks, unless the wording implies they should. This is basically the rule that was in Wrath of the Righteous, but later taken out. So, for me, OA Yoon can't use his "For your combat check...Fortitude..." power and then recharge the Amulet of Fortitude to automatically succeed. But, Potion of the Ocean is ok, because it is clearly intended to let you succeed at whatever the check is defeat the aquatic bane.

Second, if I'm not playing in such a way that something like this can happen consistently, I consider tweaking the "add 1 die power" though, I often don't find that totally necessary.

This situation usually involves a few things, the primary one being that you are rebuilding decks at the end of the scenario from acquired cards (i.e. not society rebuild rules). It also requires you to be using characters from outside that adventure path. And it usually also involves playing Rise of the Runelords specifically. Here's the combos I can think of where you get a pretty powerful "add 1 die" reveal which is basically a reveal blessing:

OA Yoon + Amulet of Fortitude
Core Sajan + Boots of Elvenkind
Monk Sajan + Monk Weapons + Boots of Elvenkind
CotC Quinn + Tome of Knowledge + some weapons from outside RotR (like Snakebite Dagger)

If you feel those combos are too powerful, then you can avoid them or tweak them. But generally, adding a die to your combat check with the cost of keeping a card in your hand all the time is already a tradeoff.

And really, probably the most powerful combo in the game doesn't even require this. That would be Summoner Zetha and Ahtez making everything a Stealth check.

I'm EST/EDT time zone. I tend to squeeze my posting on during breaks from work. I have no preference for wild card selection methodology.

Hello. Glad to be getting another game in. I'd like to play Enora if that works out with the mix, but I can be flexible.

As far as I understand it, the limit of one boon of each type only relates to an encounter (page 8) or a check (page 12) - there is no limit of one boon of each type per turn. And keep in mind that boons that can be played "freely" aren't counted towards the limit.

The direct answer to your question is that you can play a blessing on an encounter/check and then play another blessing to explore again.

And then consequently I can discard two blessings to acquire mythic charges too?

Yes. Playing Blessing of Ascension to get mythic charges happens in between steps of the turn. You can play as many cards then as you want. There is no limit.

Do not go gentle into that good night

Indeed it should be.

I took a long break from playing this game and now I'm back at it with a vengeance so I decided to come check out the forums. This was the first thread I saw and I have to say it warms my little kobold heart that Hawkmoon is still haunting these hallowed halls.

Thanks! I don't check everyday, because there isn't activity anywhere close to daily, but I still check in regularly. And I'm still playing (and loving) PACG personally.

I am playing PF adventure card game on the iPad, and received the Song of Hawkmoon spell, which should be awesome...

Indeed it should be.

Hi,

I love the rod of wonder (or wand of wonder in 5e)! Anyway, I had two questions: 1) how can I download this to add to my deck? and 2) what card creator program did you use to make the 2e card in the first place? I'd love to make some of my own homebrews.
Thankx!

Missed your questions before. In case it matters:

1. I've just opened [url=https://cdn.paizo.com/a7d62ac8-7f03-00ef-f1f0-83fb8bf332e2/38598d96-e974-443a-9966-aea1cebde697/102220_VersionC.jpg]the image from the blog[/url[ and printed it on nice paper. Since I sleeve my cards, I just take another card and slide the rod over it in the sleeve. If you have class decks, you could use one of those "how to use class deck" cards. Or if you've got some TCG with cards of the same size, you could use one of them. Though, I'd totally buy this if it appeared on Drive Thru Cards. Same for the other "blog only" cards.

2. I'm pretty sure the images from the blog were simply made by the same layout staff that does the physically printed card and used whatever image/publishing software they have.

In that situation, it would seem to be the next "end of turn" step. So they would go to recovery when the next player ends their turn.

Sara Marie, not sure if you'll read this, but I wanted to say thanks. Your voice was always calming, reassuring, and trustworthy even though it was just text on a screen. I appreciated your knowledge and the kindness I saw in all your interactions. Best wishes in whatever life has in store for you next, maybe it be as great as you are.

Jumping in.

Its the number printed on your card (unless some effect has changed it). See here for reference. Read the 2 posts under that linked one as well.

I rise the the challenge of discussing things!

At least in the past, non-mint basically meant the box was damaged, but the cards were fine. See this for example.

I think you can ignore the info from back then about non-mint being all first printings. I would suspect that by now they might be second printings.

I really hope that Paizo might consider a kickstarter for another adventure path to go with the Core Set.

Big bummer. I have grown to love the new set - it's the penultimate expression of the best co-op board game out there. Real shame we're not going to see more expansions that use Core.

When they say "remain available for purchase", does this mean that it isn't going out of print? Or is there danger of that?

The components they are discussing (the org play scenarios) are digital products, so there should be very little danger of that.

I take that sentence with the hyperlinks to be about the physical products, not the PDFs "In addition, the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game: Core Set and Curse of the Crimson Throne expansion remain available for purchase, as will most of the previous expansions, add-on decks, promo cards, and accessories."

If you click on the links in the sentence it takes you to the physical product pages.

Yeah, pretty sad to see this transitioning to a legacy program. This was essentially my favorite thing to do for fun. I do have lots of content to still play (even repeating things would take a while to get old), but still a very, very sad thing.

My order #36326359 was incorrect and I am missing items that were supposedly shipped on February 17th. I sent an email to customer support detailing the problem two weeks ago and have not gotten a response back. I also called and left a voice message about this problem last week and also did not hear a response. Am I ever going to get help for my missing items?

See this sticky thread in this forum: Paizo Customer Service Status Updates & What to Do and check the last message for the current info.

You can also make a new thread in the customer service forum about your issue if you want. Be sure to mention that you've emailed and left a voicemail so that whatever way they get to your issue they can clear all 3 "copies" of how you reported it.

I've spent a bit of time searching for miniatures for all the ones that don't come in the iconic heroes boxes and so far I've not found one for Simoun. That doesn't mean it isn't out there though. If you find it, please share.

Its been a while, but I think when I opened the template pdf in Photoshop Elements, it was able to extract the parchment as a separate layer.

Our first scenario is created by Steven Best. He adds a few notes to help us understand what is going on.

During This Scenario: The undead keep picking things up and then losing interest in them, dropping them in other locations.

Wildcards:
Harrow of Book: In the mob of undead, it’s better to rely on wits than sheer force!
Harrow of Keys: Keep moving! The undead are closing in!
Wearisome: It’s been a long day!

Characters are encouraged to start at the Graveyard for thematic purposes, but it is not required.

Evidence represents an Unearthly Stone

Ok. Sent everyone a PM with instructions to join the discord.

Hello all. A bit of a difficult day going on for me. But I hope to get things setup later today. I'll send you each a message with a discord invite for us to use for chat in just a bit.

This will be our discussion thread.

Sorry to piggy back on your issue.

I have an order that has been pending for 2 days. Is that an usual delay?

Maybe. Are you saying you placed it 2 days ago? All the items in the store have a "Product Availability" section that tells you how soon it will ship. For instance, Pathfinder Adventure Card Game Core Set currently says it is expected to ship from the warehouse in 11 to 20 business days. Your confirmation email should have the "expected to ship by" information or you can check the product pages for whatever you ordered to see if 2 days is with in the expected range. I'd also give a little wiggle on the estimate too.

See this and this help question and the one below it for more information.

This will be our gameplay thread.

Aspect of the Hawk isn't played to determine the skill you are using, so the traits of the card don't become traits of the check. Thus, the power adding the animal trait is important.

Are you sure you aren't thinking of a different card?

Display this card. While displayed, for your combat check, you may use your Strength, Dexterity, or Survival skill + 1d6 plus the scenario's adventure deck number and add the Melee and Slashing traits; you may additionally discard another card to add another 1d6 and the Animal trait.

That sure sounds like you're determining the skill you are using for your combat check.

Yup. I was thinking of the other aspect spells that didn't determine checks. My bad.

Attempting to log into Paizo resulted in a Google message stating that the Paizo site's information has recently been breached.

I did the scorched earth method and deleted all my cookies, passwords and the whole cache. I also reset my password. That was a bit more work than anticipated, but better safe than sorry.

My only worry at this point: has our personal information been compromised on the Paizo site?

I would appreciate a confirmation on this.

Best regards,
PDK

I'm guessing that what you probably got was a message that the password you used was previously used on a website that had their security breached. See this info about the feature in Chrome, but Google is basically taking the encrypted password you enter on Paizo's site and checking known data breaches to see if that password was ever compromised. This article has pictures of what the alerts look like to see if they match what you saw.

In short, it doesn't mean Paizo's site was compromised, it is a warning that that password you used might not be safe to use since hackers may have already obtained it.

See here for more info.

I was able to log in just now, but only after clearing my cookies and cache.

oh.... working for me now too.

I believe you are thinking of Lady Despair.

WHEN THIS IS THE HOUR

On your turn, if you would suffer a scourge, a random local character suffers it instead.

This instruction is not impossible. Instead of it automatically being you, it is randomly selected from the 1 local character at your location: you.

You have to pay attention to how it is phrased. If you are at a location alone, you are the only local character. That means "another local character" is impossible, but "a random local character" or "all local characters" are not impossible.

So, for example, Ratling....

Before acting, another local character summons and encounters this monster.

If you are the only local character, there is not another local character. So no one does the summoning.

I haven't used it yet, but the situation that immediately came to mind for me was all the times I'd played a caster and taken one of the "movement" cards and we'd play a scenario with only 1 location or that didn't allow movement or a siege scenario where movement wasn't very valuable. I'd have gladly swapped that movement spell out for something else during those scenarios.

That's a pretty good sounding argument to me.

Maybe not...I got the Internal 500 error when I opened the Paizo homepage...then I clicked on the PF page and then back on Paizo and voila...was working...weird.

When it was working, did you happen to notice if on that page you are signed in or not? Look in the upper right? Does it say "My Account" or "Sign In"?

As to your first question: Not that I am aware of but the forums were purged awhile ago so if there was a dev comment on it it may be gone now.

I'm not aware of the forums ever being purged. My own comments from 2013 are still on the forums.

I've got a group of 3 that finished Dragon's Demand and are going to run Night at Bloodthorne Manor at tier 4. We are looking to recruit one more player.

Post here if you are interested in joining.

We are looking for one more player to join us for Night at Bloodthorne Manor at tier 4. I'll open recruitment for 48 hours and then randomly choose from those interested in joining us. Post here if you are interested.

See these instructions. I'm not sure that is the issue with your order, but I'm guessing it is. You have to pay for the shipping. On the redemption page, scroll down and look for a place to submit the order. I hope that helps.

Y'know- tryin' not to come across too much like a "conspiracy-theory" sorta type, but there was this older Paizocon or Gencon(?) seminar about the Pathfinder Adventure Card-game over on Know Direction where it was mentioned that part of its' genesis involved a Weird Western Horror-type rpg game inspiration deal (that fell thru) which ended up becoming the PF Adventure Card game featuring adaptations like RotRL. ;)

Mebbe since the PF ACG character iconics haz different dice as stats, that can kinda serve as inspiration for Savage Worlds adaptations? ;)

I believe that was what eventually became the game Apochrypha which was actually printed in 2017.

Clearing cache and cookies only resolves it for me until I log in again. Once I'm logged in, a hand full of pages give the 500 error. However, once I'm on a page giving the 500 error, if I navigate to any other "broken" pages, they load, but I notice the site is treating me like I'm not logged in (the header has a link to Sign In instead of My Account).

I thought that with Steam, your saved games are synched into the cloud. I haven't tried it with Pathfinder: Kingmaker, but with other Steam games i have I can play them on one computer and then later play them on another computer and pick up at the save point from the first computer.

That doesn't help you get back your DLC, but it would mean that if accurate, you don't risk losing your saved games.

So my shipment was separated into two shipments and instead of getting the AP modules for PF and SF, my second shipment was another copy of the PF AP. How do I go about getting the SF AP?

You should start a new thread in the customer service forum outlining your issue. That way CS reps will be sure to see it.

Awesome. Thanks so much for putting these up. I've ordered a set and also caught up on all the other things I needed from DriveThru now.

And good to see you Vic.

I'm getting this as well. I notice I get it on these pages:

Home page
https://paizo.com/

Pathfinder > Beginner Box
https://paizo.com/pathfinder/beginnerbox

FAQ
https://paizo.com/pathfinder/faq

What I've discovered though is that I appear to be signed out on those pages. Instead of saying "My Account" in the upper right, it says "Sign In." And also, once I'm in that "broken" section of the website, those pages all load without error if I jump between them. For example, if I go to the Pathfinder menu and choose Beginner Box, I get a 500 error in the lower part of the page. But if I then click the Purple Golem to go to home page, I can see the home page. And from the now working homepage, if I go the Pathfinder menu and choose Beginner Box, I can see the Beginner Box page. I'm still not appearing as signed in on any of them, and if I go to a "working" section of the site and back to the home page, it shows the 500 error again.

I have no idea if that is helpful at all, but thought I share in case it was.

When can we actually see this errata? I get that Ysoki mechanic every time I try to look it up. And I have used three different browsers on two different computers.

It works for me only in Incognito mode. I also notice that if I'm not using Incognito mode, the FAQ page says "Sign In" instead of the expected "My Account" when I'm already signed in.

I personally had played that if the very top card of the hourglass wasn't a blessing, then you couldn't close or guard the location. However, on reading this thread and discussing it with others, I'm thinking I was wrong and instead I should have been find the next blessing of the hourglass.

I will say, however, that I've essentially played it as "encounter and acquire". I think "summon and acquire" was avoided the card is technically in use already and the intent isn't for you to pretend like you have a copy of it.

Oh. Looks like you've wandered into the card game rules forum when you were probably looking for the RPG rules forum. I've flagged your post to get moved to the right forum (I'm guessing Pathfinder First Edition, right?). In the mean time, maybe consider playing the card game? It has fighters and monks too. And you can play it on your table, in Table Top Simulator, or via Play By Post. Though, I don't know of any characters in the card game with detachable hands. Celeste doesn't have hands at all, so I guess that is close.

You can go a little further and say it is "Found In" and search for Dungeon. If you drop the WotC from Joana's filter, you can find 5 adventures, since one of them is published by Paizo in Dungeon #109.
