Thank you. All working.


Hi Chris,

The session is:

Event: PaizoCon Oz 2017
Event #: 84448
Session #: 75
Date: 10/15/17
Scenario: Pathfinder Society Scenario #9-06: The Shores of Heaven(PFRPG) PDF
GM #:107925
GM Name: Grom Kranock
Character #: 5104-7
Character Name: Aramis Dumas

The correct Scenario is #9-03: On the Border of War.

Whenever I go to report it, it shows the correct Scenario, however the main page does not.


Anyone?

3/5

Is anyone able to give me a update on my VA application? My VC is a bit slack in giving me updates.


Apologies and thank you.


In my Pathfinder Society I have a scenario that is incorrect. However when I report this, the email actually has the correct scenario.

So I suspect there is something wrong with it because the event has been edited. I've also seen this occur when the character to assign the GM credit is edited.

So putting my DBA hat on seems like the 'insert' statement does the correct thing, but the 'update' doesn't. Perhaps its forgetting to update another table which is used.


Aha I found it under My Pathfinder Society next to My Account.


Same for me.

I can however see sessions for an individual character, but not my entire sessions.


How does one simple travel to the hobbiton from outside of NZ?


I think it may be because of the shirt in the order. Can this please be changed to another size?


I did this order on the 14th and it still has been pending - 12 days. Can I get an update on this please.


Cool thanks BadBird.


As the subject says, I want to create a character based on beckett from Vampire: the Masquerade as seen at http://whitewolf.wikia.com/wiki/Beckett. But I keep coming up short on character build.

I like the idea of dipping into oracle either lore or lunar, and going with a unarmed strike or claws attacks. Looked at monk/druid (totem) build but that seems to over the top for me.

So does anyone have any ideas or has made a character based on Beckett.


Sweet thanks Claxon.

Thanks dragonhunterq, but it would be good if they said from all classes or listed all the different classes.


One level of mounted fury barbarian, basically just to obtain the fast mount ability.


What about just one level of it?


I've been looking at doing a druid mounted fury barbarian list, and the mount I've chosen come up in herolab says it cannot be selected because it is not in the cavaliers mount list.

But I can't find anywhere that says the barbarian mount list is the same as the cavaliers, so I'm asking the question.

Thank you.


Thanks, didn't know that existed.


So i'm playing a bard/paladin who worships shelyn in a core campaign, and I'm trying to find a miniature.

Basically anything with a glaive (pre-painted preferred) would be good, but i can't find anything that really suits.

Anyone got an idea?


So can a bard still cast without arcane spell failure in a mithral breastplate?


A simple solution is to get a tattoo as a divine focus.


I liked the Glamer idea. But I still think I could get one made as a masterwork weapon as there is nothing that says I can't......


Oh that is a good idea Gisher.


Nah don't want any enchantment bonus to it, just want to have a funky looking weapon. Don't think I'll use it in combat in anycase. Once i get the gold for both a masterwork weapon and masterwork instrument, I'll hit my gm up for it ;)


I just got inspired by this picture. So just wondering, how could I do this in pathfinder i.e. have a weapon that is a musical weapon as well. Be it a spear, or axe or something with some strings down the shaft.

Thoughts?

3/5

I always said I would quit pathfinder when they brought out psionics. Though I haven't not followed up on that LOL.

But I was glad as well to hear about this when my GM sent us an email.


I would love to see the Highsword Low Axe Feat back in from 3.5

You have mastered the style of fighting with sword and axe at the same time, and have learned to use this unusual pairing of weapons to pull your opponents off their feet.
Prerequisite: Improved Trip, Two-Weapon Fighting, Weapon Focus (bastard sword, longsword, scimitar or shortsword), Weapon Focus (battleaxe, handaxe, or dwarven waraxe).
Benefit: If you hit the same creature with both your sword and your axe in the same round, you may make a free trip attempt against that foe. (If you succeed, you may immediately use your Improved Trip feat to gain an additional attack against your foe.)

Could you do this in PFS, or just normal pathfinder?
Not in PFS.

Cool thanks.


Good pickup Yogo. I've always thought I could play it as a move action to give a Yes/No response. So if I was in combat, i could move action detect evil, swift action to smite evil, then say vital strike with a holy weapon to do insane amount of damage.

But now I feel that its a standard action to start it (at will) and then be a move action to get all the information from it, so if done in one round, would mean basically a 1 round detect. But you could however do it as a standard action and then move say into position next to the big bad. Then next round, move action to get the result.

Now question though, does detect evil give you anything straight away, or does it take a round before you get the information, so basically on your next turn. If it was immediate, and there was only really one source of evil, you could at least smite, and then move.

However I've been playing my paladin with a shining wayfinder, doing a standard action to point to the nearest evil. I always thought it looked more dramatic to do that.


I was just wondering this myself. Have u done any more work olePigeon


I'm a bit confused with the stormborn final thoughts. How can you take improved familiar when you don't already have a familiar. Does this need the Eldritch Heritage path to get it?


Hrmm having a thought, I might go with a Ninja


Well seems to have fixed itself for me now.


So thinking for my next PFS character, i want to go with a chakram build as I loved rinzler from tron legacy, and been watching the tron animated series as well. But can't seem to find a combination that is working for me.

Has anyone made a build that is PFS legal, or has some good ideas on what I can do?

Thanks.

I'll admit, taking a gnome sylvan/arcane wild blooded sorcerer and making my raven figurine into both my animal companion and familiar at the same time is kinda a thing for me. If that is considered power gaming so be it. I just like it for the heck of it!

Yes you are power gaming, just admit it and we'll get on :)

The cleric in all probability had the boon companion feat, which makes the critter function at level +4, up to the max of your hit dice (so essentially getting rid of the penalty for being an animal domain critter)

Yes I found out that he did have this, and now seems every cleric and now sorcerers with the sylvan blood line can take as well! Because last night played in a game which a teifling sorcerer had a animal companion as well, and of course he had the boon companion feat! With PFS is that you're supposed to legally have the book, but with PRD's and hero lab which have references it, you can take the feat because its there!

But if its not dishonesty, then its certainly a lot of abusing/rorting going on to make your character twice or at least 1.5 times better than any other character out there, especially with that damn feat! Whose idea was it to bring in that Boon Companion feat anyway? I believe it should be put on the list of feats you can't take in PFS.

Now all this being said, I probably would get over this if everyone who took an animal companion stood up and said "yes I'm being a powergamer" but they aren't, they are just sitting back and being smug going "i'm just better than you are because I know how to rort the rules better"


Next time I run into one and now I am up with the rules, I'll will be making sure I question it.


I've always had a thing against anything that let you play two effective characters such as the leadership feat and animal companions. It was mainly the leadership feat, as animal companions weren't that powerful unless you did some serious splat booking, and then you had to justify it to the GM, and even then they weren't able to fully compete with a front line fighter.

But recently I've been getting frustrated that animal companions and now Eidolons are able to out strip a front line fighter. And their appearance is becoming more and more regular. So I've been doing some research into them and finding some serious discrepancies in what a player says their 'pet' can do, and what their 'pet' should be able to do.

Now the rules seem to be pretty clear (especially if you use the srd as a reference) but for some reason some players seem to wanting to stretch those rules. Perfect example is Clerics with the Animal Domain, thus getting a animal companion at 4th level (being effective druid -3), but when I played in a tier 6-7 game on the weekend the cleric had a large animal companion (not possibly till 10th level as a cleric), and had more feats then should have been able to even if he was a 7th level druid, and had the vital strike feat which wouldn't have been able to get based on the BAB +5.

And that seems to be where the dishonesty is kicking in for both animal companions and eidolons, the feats.... Given them extra feats or given them feats which they don't meet the requirements for. And this is how they seem to be out stripping a front line fighter.

So why is it these players think they can get away with doing this sort of thing, and why aren't GM's cracking down more on 'pets'?


I am unable to select an avatar for a new pfs character I created.

A window displays underneath to the left with details of the image and a 'select this avatar, but I am unable to click the button due to as soon as I move the mouse, the window dispears.

I've tried this in both firefox and IE with the same result.

3/5

Well done buddy!


Check out Bodhi's Guide to the Optimal Paladin and Antipaladin


But what if the flying creature has a greater speed then a potion of fly? Say if taking on a dragon. What then folks?


I love worgen, and been looking for a way to play these in pathfinder, cool!


yeah i totally understand that. I've posted up on my blog screen shots of the original pdf editable sheet I used back in 3.5. Unfortunately the guy never made a pathfinder version, but hopefully should give you some idea of what to do.


The general consensus has been that you only get the stat increase from the size you take, but you get all the other benefits from the lower spell.


Yes the spell sheet is nice.

@Corsario: The Misc Sheet is so pedantic people like myself can type things in instead of writing them ;)


I'm with leo1925, go with Stoneplate.


Did you know the other characters are evil when you decided to make a paladin? Or did the GM know? He really should have advised you all of character restrictions.

But I'm with the others, if you're dead set on playing a paladin, just see if you can change it to an anti-paladin, and suddenly come out to adventure in spiked armor ;)


The pole arm master fighter archetype gets flexible flanker which certainly helps to resolve flanking.


Looks very nice from initial inspection. Nice and fresh using the new logo and having the options for PFS options.

Certainty need a section for spells, and I've never seen it done quite right yet, but look forward to see what you come up with.

I've been using the "Little Mars Pathfinder Character Sheet" but found it has a bunch of issues with the tab order. Check out what it does for it's spells.

One thing that might stop me from using it, is I like to detail my characters abilities for feats for reference, rather then having to look up the book all the time. So you might want to have a optional section in there.

About Gabriel the Hand

Backstory:

Parched Dunes… several weeks ago

"Gabriel, rise!" The voice was the first thing he heard. It was the first thing he heard for a very long time. How long? He felt the scorching sun bathing his naked body with its life-giving rays. He felt the sand under him. He did not dare to open his eyes yet. The brilliance he saw even through his closed eyelids was more than he could take at the moment. When was the last time I felt the sun above or the sand under me?

"Gabriel, it is time for you to serve the Lady again. You have been resting long." The voice was continued. Resting, I do not feel especially rested.. "Whrr…" his mouth was parched. He swallowed and wet his lips, then he tried again. "What lady?"
"Maybe too long, Gabriel." the being murmured under its breath.
"Gabriel, the Lady is in need of your services again. Search your memory, search your feelings. You should remember at least something."

Gabriel tried hard to remember. To remember anything, but his memory was blank – tabula rasa. Easy for you to say.. He slowly opened his eyes. Just a little at first. He saw a plate-clad woman with large bird wings augmented with pieces of metal. The armor was adorned with skulls. A pair of glowing eyes was all he could see of her face in the open-faced helm. "Are you an angel?"

He though the being sighed, but could not be sure. "Gabriel, the Lady of the Graves demands your services again. You have been most resourceful agent in the past and she was always pleased with your performance. Almost always." she paused as if thinking of some past event. "Nevertheless you have a new task in front of you. The Lady saw a most disturbing occurrence about to happen. You will go to Wati, where the Necropolis has been reopened. You need to become one of the new explorers. Fate will give you an opportunity to enter the Necropolis. That is why I have been instructed to bring you back to life."

Gabriel tried to sit, his head was hurting. He listened to the being but he could not make sense of what she was telling him. "I live… I live again?"

The being was patient, she might have been patience incarnate. "Gabriel, you are the Hand. You go where the lady sends you and you do what needs doing. You have always done so. Now it is time for you to head to Wati. Trust in fate. It will show you what to do."

He felt his mind was slowly starting to work properly. Well, go to Wati, do what needs to be done. The task seems straightforward enough. But more information would not hurt.

"Can you tell me more?" he asked.

"Gabriel, you should know I am not permitted to share any more details with you. You have to find what is going on for yourself. I cannot be seen to help you. That is the way it works. That is the way it has always worked." the armored women told him. "All I can do is give you this. It should help you start your new life once you find your way to the civilization." she handed him a purse and a sheathed dagger. "So long, Gabriel. We will meet again." she nodded and vanished.

Nice trick. He unsheathed the weapon. It was a double-edge ceremonial dagger with a dull gray blade. The pommel was decorated with a stylized depiction of a woman’s face and hair. He looked around. Desert, I am in the middle of a damn desert. She could at least take me somewhere more hospitable.

He stood up and started walking…


Recent history:

The Necropolis… several hours ago

"Hello, Gabriel" the voice surprised him, he thought he was alone in the room. He rolled from the makeshift bed, both daggers springing into his hands. He crouched in the corner, ready to face the unknown person. Then he recognized the voice. It was the first thing he heard after the long sleep. “Hello, you.” he said and followed by casting a ball of light onto one of his daggers. The plate-clad winged woman stood across the room. Yeah, it is her. Again. I am thrilled.

"Gabriel, you may put the weapons down, you know who I am." the being said, her eyes glowing more brightly inside her helmet.

Actually no, I do not. But I know who sent you. Or who you claim sent you. he thought.

"I remember you, all right. You are the one who left me in the middle of nowhere, almost naked, with only a purse full of coins and a dagger. And with a cryptic message. You know, money is great. If you have somewhere to spend it. In the desert – not so much. Some food and a better weapon would be preferable." he looked at her angrily. ”I was hunted by some oversized vermin across the desert, unable to defend myself properly. It was no fun, no fun at all. I am not feeling particularly grateful, trust me."

"But you survived, Gabriel. As I knew you would. You needed incentive to awake properly." the woman said calmly.

"Bones and ashes, awake properly!? You must be kidding." he almost shouted.

She waited, watching him. He calmed after a while. His voice became low and icy. Somehow, he sounded distinctly more dangerous than before. "You know, last time we met, you asked me to search my memory, my feelings. I did. I still do not know who I am or was. Memory evades me. But not so my feelings. I do not like you. I never did. I even do not much care for the Lady. Yes, I agree with her on most points. The important ones. But I think we do not see eye to eye. We never did. And her clergy, I like them even less. Most of them are a bunch of self-serving, pompous and smug boneheads."

"Let me tell you a short story. After I escaped those crawling monsters, I arrived to Wati. I hooked up with an adventuring group bound to enter the reopened Necropolis – they called themselves Tomb Claws. There was a lottery and they were one of the groups that won."

"The funny thing is, one of the Claws was a Pharasmin cleric – that was the initial reason I chose to join them. But I found out he was actively opposed to helping poor and destitute people in the city. I thought he was only joking the first time, but through our exploration of the Necropolis, other clues gave him away. He was an uncaring bastard who thought the only way to serve Her is to kill the monsters. When one of the other Tomb Claws was mortally wounded, he behaved as if he had no way to cure him just because he feared he will need the healing for himself as more enemies were closing in. Later I overheard him saying that before the lottery he had been passing a pregnant woman in a side street near the market and he laughed at her when she begged him to help her deliver the child but was unable to pay him for it. He even found it to be a funny enough story to share with his companions. Oh, it was funny for those Tomb Clowns, all right." he stopped, sheathed one of his daggers and put the lighted one on a slab of stone. Then he picked up his canteen and took a swing.

The glowing eyes seemed angry now. Could it be she does not know about such behavior of her clerics? Or she does know and is not permitted to do anything about it? Gabriel mused.

"They were not having such a great time when next we met some of the denizens of these ruins…" he paused, taking another sip of the water.

"Gabriel, what happened next?" the women enquired.

"I let them deal with it. Did not feel like spending any more time with them."

"You have been known to enact more… permanent… solutions, Gabriel. But it is for the best. You did right to enter the Necropolis. Now you have to join forces with another adventuring group you meet here. They are the ones who will help you with your destiny. You must agree to accompany them anywhere their quest will take them."

"A quest?" Is her tone pleading this time? What is going on?

"Yes Gabriel, they have a quest set before them, but they do not know it yet. They will ask you to join them. You will accept. It is the Lady’s will. That is why I was sent here tonight."

He was taken aback. Cryptic again, aren’t you? Can’t say more, can you? "All right, I will do that…"

"Good," she paused. "So long, Gabriel. We will meet again." she nodded and vanished.

Again? At least she has not left me in the middle of a desert this time. I should count myself lucky. Or perhaps not.

He extinguished the light, sheathed the dagger and returned to his makeshift bed…


Appearance and Personality:

Gabriel is of average height and weight. He has athletic body and no fat to speak of. His skin is tanned and crossed with so many scars, it is a surprise he is still alive. Some of the scars are from standard weapons but others are of decidedly strange origin. He has a spiral shaped tattoo on his left hand. Although he looks to be around 25 years old, his dark brown eyes seem ancient. He keeps his blackish hair short and wears no jewelry.

He wears travel stained clothes but keeps them reasonably clean. He bathes regularly to keep his odor to minimum.

Gabriel has no social skills to speak of. He is direct and usually quite truthful – often to the point of being annoying. He is not exceptionally talkative but usually says what he thinks with no regard to what others may think about him. This does not make him many friends. He does not care.

He has low opinion of churches in general. He values the services some of their representatives provide to the common folk (healers, midwifes etc.), but finds most of them to be too rigid, self-absorbed, haughty, lecturing, greedy or power-hungry fools. It cannot be said he believes in or even reveres gods. He knows they exists, but finds them to be no better than the majority of people and definitely worse than some. His relations with Pharasma are something even he does not understand. He feels they are connected somehow but as he does not remember almost anything from his life before he awoke in the desert, he is not sure how. All he has are brief flashes and feelings.

He thinks laws and rules in general are good as long as they do not impede people doing the right thing. This approach usually does not endear him to authorities. He does not really have problems with authorities as long as he considers them competent, but it is safe to say many authorities have problems with him.

He has hard time trusting people as he usually expects the worst. He may seem paranoid at times, but as the saying goes “Just because you are paranoid doesn’t mean they are not after you”. He has been proven to be right several times.

He cares about folks. It does not mean he is nice to them, but if someone really needs help, he does his best to aid him/her to the best of his ability. This usually means facing some threat – ordinary or otherwise.

He hates anybody who preys on innocents or on those who cannot defend themselves properly. This holds especially true for undead and other monsters, but applies to bad people as well.

Personal recount of Gabriel’s departure from TC:

"Well, if you really feel like you need to know. The Tomb Clowns were a pitiful bunch, I would never joined them if I knew what sort of people they were. They are just glorified tomb robbers, self-centered bastards who do not care much about each other and even less so about anyone else. I decided I was safer alone down here than in their company. If you meet them, be careful. They might seem friendly but it will change when it suits them the most. If they are still alive... They were about to have some company when I took my leave. I reckoned, there was no reason to risk my life for the likes of them. Oh, and they are not really called Clowns, they call themselves Claws. But in reality - they resemble clowns more closely."
