So, may already have been answered but I can't find official clarification. Are alchemical items considered magical? This would mean you could detect them with detect magic and that you could only craft 1/day. I understood but need clarification, that alchemical items are not magical but imitate a magic effect with less chance of success (lower dc's) Can someone clarify or provide a link clarifying this conundrum?
Looking for 1 to 2 additional players. We had a player bail on us by ghosting out so we are looking for 1 or 2 more people.

head here for official recruitment
I posted as an interest check and am now posting as an official recruitment. I will be choosing players saturday or sunday ( I live in Utah usa) and game will start no later than 22nd of august (roughly 1 week from sat.) So please submit asap The world of vast jungles and mangroves await. ALthough desert and plains do exist in smaller areas. The scimitar range is an almost impassable wall of stone that runs straight up. Those that wander from the trade routes find themselves amongst a variety of flora and fauna. Much of it is deadly in one way or another. Primitive tribes exist but mostly they have been sheltered from the outside and do not have a common language. Rain in the jungle is harsh and daily. The occasional acid rain is also known. Creatures of unknown origin and flavor have been rumored or seen.
Here is where you all decide what setup you want your party.
will follow the standard rules just in a homebuilt map series. I have the maps built (from gimp) and am pretty much ready to go. I have 2 players already if we have enough interest and would like 3 more.
The bestiary refers to building creatures from the basic monster creation rules rather than say using the adjustments for lycanthropy/were creatures. However, I can find no such set of rules. AM I missing something or are they not out yet?

Herkymr the Silly's Untitled Campaign (Inactive)
Mangroves of the Desert
Not sure what happened that I even have an untitled campaign unless it happened when I started gming way back when.
We are seeking 1-3 active players to add into our active campaign. Recently we lost 2 due to life complications. Our campaign is fairly laid back in style. We ask that you post atleast once a day when possible. Those that cannot but still actively and constructively contribute to the group we are willing to work with on a trial basis first. Feel free to look over and read discussion and game play to get a feel for us. Also feel free to message any questions about style game etc. to me or if about my dm style etc welcome to send it to my players with or without me knowing. Our party consists of
The lands are barren of their once luscious greenery and varied other ecosystems. The culprits are chaos storms--large random magic surges ravaging the lands like tornadoes. The deserts have spread as the storms continue to force the land to change. Purveyors of the magic arts have drawn together in hopes of discovering the cause of the storms. Civilization has shrunk to the edges of the desert for the most part. Mangrove trees have been cultivated to stop the advent of the desert into the remaining waters. Druidic magic strengthens the trees and purifies the water so that life can be maintained. They also provide refuge for many of the creatures that have survived the changes. The dragons have all but disappeared and the giants are ranging out once more leaving destruction and terror in their wake. Rumors of a cabal of wizards controlling the ravaging bands have begun to circulate among the rabble in the cities. Sages and others of ancient lore whisper of a group tasked with keeping the ancients in line with nature and magic. Absence of these guardians could correspond with the giants raiding and the notable absence of the dragons. Character Creation: 20 point buy. No score lower than 8 after racial adjustments. Races:

Introduce yourself to the others. I like to know my players a bit and not just their characters.
I am going to run a pbp. I am not an inexperienced DM. I have DM'd for many years now with many systems from shadow run to earthdawn to D&D 3.) & 3.5 and now pathfinder.I am flexible and work with my players to achieve what they and I want in a satisfying gameplay situation. I also am a writer and an avid reader myself thus have a understanding of story elements and story telling.
I will post minimum of 1 a week sometimes more than that. I will require that those chosen to play commit to posting once a week.
Recruitment will be open until Sept 7th Pacific time. I will have those playing posted by Sept 14th I do have a new kid coming in the end of Sept so expect a brief break (probably 1 week) during that adjustment period. DO NOT CREATE YOUR CHARACTER BEFORE POSTING A BASIC CONCEPT:

Ok so here is an idea I had but need clarification on the rules. Monk's flurry of blows states it is a fullround action using unarmed strikes or monk weapons Throw anything says you can throw what ever you have this would include monk weapons Quick draw says drawing a weapon is a free action and Rapid shot says when making a ranged attack as a full round action I may take one additional ranged shot with a penalty to all attacks so as a monk if i were to have the following feats could i use flurry and rapid shot together flurry of blows
Thus the following would occur with a human monk
thus flurry of blows would be as follows if throwing monk weapons
Is this correct according to the rules?
Potion/oils under magic items in the book states " Oils are similar to potions , except that oils are applied eternally rather than imbibed...It can duplicate the effect of a spell of up to 3rd level that has a casting time of less than 1 minute and effects one or more creatures.(core rules 1 pg 477)" So.. if we assume that oils and potions only differ in their means of delivery (imbibed/applied) then "Potions (oils?) are like spells cast upon the imbiber(target of the oil).... "The drinker of the potion is both the effective target and the caster of the effect(though the potion indicates caster level, the drinker still control the effect.) (core rule 1 pg.477)" Then would the "drinker" or target of the oil if you will be the effective target? If so can spells such as mirror image(core rules 1 pg. 314) with range personal be used as an oil? IF so then the target would be whoever was "hit" by the oil if it were thrown? Can oils be used as thrown weapons? Would oils be considered splash weapons which "require no weapon proficiency so you don't take the -4 nonproficiency penalty? (core rules 1 pg 202) How would splash be handled for oils of spells that are rays? example ray of frost (core rules 1 pg 330) For those that produce cones? example color spray (core rules pg 256) Most splash weapons (at least that I have seen) do a 1d6 damage on a direct hit. Would oils do that as well? Or maybe a 1d4 for being smaller (vials)? If say a cure light wounds was used as an oil and thrown say against the party's paladin would he take damage from being hit before he was healed? Would spells like produce flame (core 1 pg 326) burn for the length of their duration where the oil broke? Am I missing anything else that I should have gotten?
I have an idea for a character that could be fun. Instead of using potions use what most people over look...OILS. They work just like potions with one exception..they are applied externally. So I want to do a character that is all thrown weapons and use oils. so here are a couple of questions: 1.) Any suggestions on adjudicating uses of oils like mirror image when thrown against an opponent. The spell says personal but when reading under the potions part of the magic items it says that any spell of 3rd level or lower that can be cast on a creature or object can be made into a potion or oil. It also says that the whomever drinks the potion is considered the target...thus to whomever the oil was applied becomes the target? 2.) with spells like stone to mud how would others figure the "damage" caused by the oil? I was thinking that it would only effect a 5 foot square but possibly make it effect a deeper area over time. 3.) splash weapons do d6 on direct hit usually and then their effect with a collateral damage of 1 to each adjacent square. So would oils then be considered splash weapons and if so then how would something like a lightning bolt deliver splash damage? 4.) splash weapons take no proficiency and are ranged touch attacks unless targeted on a square intersection. would this still apply to oils or would it be fair to require a feat like throw anything? 5.) If the throw anything feat was used then on spells that can be made into oils but are normally a ray, would the feat allow the thrower of the oil to determine the direction of the "ray"? I was thinking that strategically it might make more sense to have to have the vial of oil hit a wall or something and thus direct the "splash ray>" I have a few other questions as well but lets start here.
