Greetings,

I seem to be having trouble submitting orders. Payment methods are up to date, but don’t see an order confirmation screen after clicking on ‘submit order’. Any help in resolving this would be greatly appreciated.

Flaming Crab Games just published their version of the priest!

Just got done running this at Free RPG day, it was a blast!

One thing that just came to mind, is that the Kahuna may need an errata after the Advanced Class Guide comes out, due to the Shaman getting it's own version of hexes, just something to keep an eye on, since the Kahuna doesn't mention witch hexes specifically.

Yeah I think this class was in the homebrew section a while back, but it got a few modifications (for the better I think).

Not sure how I feel about this compared to the inquisitor since they certainly overlap a bit in the niche they fill, especially since this class no longer gets full BAB.

FINALLY!!
Looking forward to reading this!

I would love to get a chance to purchase a set of the emerald spire minis. I'm not going to get my hopes up too much, but I can dream right?

I anticipate Nocticula being called in as an ally against either of the other Demon Lords, and updated stats would be nice. :)

Any chance you will be redoing Noctiula's stat block?

I am new to GMing Paizo stuff, but that Prep site is quite the resource for running adventures! I'm quite excited to get started with Risen From The Sands.

With a cover like that, I'm subscribing to get this adventure path. Nuff said.

The waiting hurts....

Once you see it, you will understand the delay...

Perhaps you can give us just a little hint?

I don't see why not. the alignment is based on the placement of the highlighted symbol on the border, (neutral means none are highlighted) and the suit is based on the symbol at the bottom of the card.

it works.

Thank you for pointing that out! I am very much excited to purchase one of these.

Will I be able to use these to play the Harrower prestige class?

I flipped through the hard copy my LGS had (mine is still in the mail) and was disappointed to see that the articles on the major deities lacked their additions to the summon monster list that each of the AP articles had, but I could easily have missed it. Can anyone confirm if that content made it to the book, perhaps in another chapter?

So if the next set isn't AP based would an Emerald Spire set be possible?

These all look great! Waiting another week for the announcement is going to kill me!

Variant class abilities intrigue me....

EDIT: Does that mean variant class abilities are something completely different from archetypes?

From a GM perspective, more simple templates are always welcome additions to the game!

Are there any specific cults of empyreal lords that have a significant presence in the crusades against the Worldwound?

Do the cults of empyreal lords or even worshipers of other good deities ever get overzealous?

Thank you to you both!!

Anyone willing to list the names of all the new archetypes?

Quite excited to get my copy of this book. I'm glad there are at least a few mythic options sprinkled in there.

Can we expect to be seeing more support for the mythic ruleset in further releases?

It's days like today that I kick myself for not being a subscriber. Sigh...hopefully these subsystems turn out to be interesting and worthwhile.

The Description of Inner Sea Combat states that various faiths of Golarion have unique fighting styles. The first example that came to mind was the Dawnflower Dervish, however I couldn't think of any others.

What other faiths have unique fighting styles?

Would these fighting techniques be something that could be picked up by someone outside its respective faith?

Will we be getting a preview of this book in the coming weeks?

I'm not sure if this has been asked or not, but will this book have alternate options for summon monster for each of the main deities?

Thanks, I have looked at various monsters in my Wrath of the Righteous books which seem to follow the rules as stated in mythic adventures, which just adds to the confusion.

I am currently stating up a mythic dragon in an age category that is not listed in the Mythic Adventures Bestiary. My problem arises when calculating spell resistance.
The dragon entry in the bestiary tells me that a dragon's spell resistance is equal to 11+ it's CR, and when applying the mythic subtype to a monster , mythic ranks increase a monsters SR by 1 for each rank. Yet, when I examine the entries for mythic dragons in mythic adventures their SR is equal to 11+ CR, when the mythic subtype says it ought to be higher. SO my question is does a dragon's innate SR trump the mythic rules for additional Sr?

Here are my calculations:

Dragon SR = 11 + CR (CR is 16 for an Ancient Black Dragon)

Base SR = 27 (as listed in it's bestiary entry)

Then I apply 8 mythic ranks, making it's new CR 20, and thus making it's new SR 31 (by the Dragon SR equation).

Now because the mythic subtype adds additional SR based on it's mythic rank, I add an additional 8 SR:

New Dragon SR = 11 + 20 + 8 = 39

Yet when I look at all the SR listed in mythic adventures, all the dragons have SR = 11 + CR. Have I missed something or was the additional SR not applied in Mythic Adventures? Any explanation would be helpful.

Thank you in advance,

Illius

With these new variant combat rules give martial characters more choices in combat than just running up to and hitting their enemies?

And can we apply these new rules to monsters without having to take too many feats or adding extra class levels? (The GM in me wants to know)

Oops I meant to say May, but apparently it's now April 30th! Wohooo!

Pushed back until June? Sad day.

I love this mini, more than my words can express, the only trouble I have is what to do with the flimsy whip. For those who have this mini, is there a relatively simple solution for not getting this to bend as much?

Thanks in advance!

I have been collecting pathfinder minis for about a year now, and have started running into storage issues. Any recommendations for easy ways to store and organize minis?

Thanks in advance,

Illius

Builder Set Ideas:
Animal Comapanions
A Summon Monster set, with popular options taken from various levels of the spell, all small/medium of course.
Or simply pick a country in Golarion such as Cheliax and make a builder set around that.

All this talk of Iron Gods and the human spaceship has me curious.

Have you have ever played or heard of an old PC game called Homeworld?

If a sequel were ever to be published...I would insta-buy it.

There is a deluxe reprint on it's way. It should be under the pre order section of pathfinder cards.

I can barely contain my excitement for Arueshalae!!!!
The Brimorak is a great addition to the commons this set has provided. I am going to want multiples for sure!
This set is turning out great!

Hey all,

I am currently building some monsters for a homebrew adventure and would like some input on whether the warpriest should be considered a key class for the base Cr 4 minotaur.

Thank you in advance,
Illius

Surely Arueshalae made the set right?

I would think the champion would benefit you better, as you can focus on your damage output and still take the feat (or universalist path ability I can't remember) that let's you cast mythic spells. But in order for the magus to work properly with spell cpmbat and spellstrike, you got to be able to hit things.

Very happy that the Will-O'-Wisp showed up! I have been needing a few of these for a campaign I have been writing! Personally I am hoping for more good guys to show up, but otherwise all of these are fantastic minis!

Still awaiting the replacement option to be available for Legends of Golarion. :/

AFAIK, the 55-figure sets have all been consistent so far. Shattered Star, Skull & Shackles, and Legends of Golarion have all had 15 commons + 22 uncommons + 17 rares (and the 1 special). I haven't read anywhere that Wraith of the Righteous is going to deviate from that.

-Skeld

Of which 9 uncommons and 7 rares are large

So if I am correct we have 4 more commons to go as well as 3 more large uncommons, a single large rare, 6 medium/small rares, and 1 more medium/small uncommon.

Given that, I am hoping for the following:
Derakni at large uncommon
Brimorak at common/medium uncommon
Some form of generic good crusader or paladin, most likely at common
Arueshalae at medium rare (I will be heartbroken if she isn't included)
Queen Galfrey at medium rare
A Tiefling of sorts at common
Vescavor Swarm at common (most of the past sets have featured swarms, so why not this one?)
A Worm That Walks (this one will probably be rare)
Oh and there should be a will-o'-wisp mini, perhaps at common, but this could easily be in another set.
There just doesn't seem to be enough room to fit all of the awesome stuff from this AP into a 55 figure set, however I am VERY excited for this set of minis and whatever ends up being in the final list, wont change that.

I have been following this class for awhile, do to the lack of there being a 1/2 bab full divine caster within the pathfinder game. Why this type of class doesn't exist in Paizo's content could be a multitude of reasons, namely. I have typed up a few of my thoughts,

There are a few challenges with making this viable:
First being that for a full divine castor to stand on his own (without being combat oriented like a cleric or oracle, since that is what I perceive is the goal of this the class), the spell list needs to be a bit more up to par with the Wizard list. Adding a limited number of arcane spells for the priest to have at his disposal is probably the best way to shore up some of the weaknesses outside of giving this class it's own list (which is a total pain for 3pp to have to update every time Paizo publishes new spells). Brenguar, I tip my hat to you for innovation.

Second is keeping the class tied to deity's portfolio. Since Domains are ,generally, better suited for characters that wade in and out of melee (something this class doesn't want to do), a new mechanic that works similar to the way domains do, but benefit the priest with powers that are better suited to the casting role, dogma's fit the bill very well, even if they are a bit weaker than what a domain does for a cleric.

The alignment restriction is a little awkward but I see where you are coming from, Lay on Hands is very much a good flavored ability and shouldn't be at the disposal of non-good characters, and it doesn't feel out of place on a good aligned priest at all. Perhaps allowing an evil priest to take Touch of Corruption (as the antipaladin ability) and giving neutral priests the choice between the two (similar to how a cleric gains all the inflict or cure spells) would help with this. I like how this ability can be used at range as well.

Other than that, you have some nice mechanics in here that make this a very flavorful class (something I personally hold in high regards with any class).

One last minor note for your consideration is changing the name of the class from Priest to something like Apostle. Mainly to avoid confusion with the warpriest class that is on it's way.

Keep up the good work Brenguar, and don't let any overwhelmingly negative comments get you down!

Do we know the rarity breakdown of the set? It seems like we have not seen many large uncommon figures or medium/small rares.

I'm still holding out for a derakni mini!
