Checking through things here, it doesn't appear that I ever received the physical shipment for the above order. I've been billed for it, and the PDF appears to be available in my Digital Content, but the physical books never arrived. Could you take a look into this for me, please? I'm not sure what happened... could it still be in transit? Thank you in advance for your assistance. ^_^
There are a number of subscription items in my sidecart that I've been waiting to ship for some time. I'm not sure if this is a normal part of the subscription shipping process - if it isn't, could you make sure these items get properly processed for shipping, please? (I've already had an email exchange which contains some discussion of shipping for the Adventure Path volumes.) Thank you for your assistance! ^_^
I'm ordering a boatload of Adventure Card Game products in the last minutes of the big sale. I'm not used to ordering products of this size and weight, though, and I'd seen some forum posts mentioning issues with the calculation of shipping costs. If it's not too much trouble, could you please look over the order in question and make sure everything came out right? Thank you in advance for your assistance! ^_^
So, I have a bit of a controversial thought. Since we're looking at goblins being a Core ancestry, it would be interesting to see goblins added back into the boon rotation for the final year of PFS1. It'll help the idea of goblins being present in the Society ramp up as we approach a potential "Goblins are Always Available" future. Just a thought - agreement and disagreement welcome. ^_^
Will we be able to create new 1e characters after the launch of Pathfinder Second Edition, or will it be an established-characters-only situation? I have a lot of character concepts I'd still like the chance to play, and if I need to start getting XP on each of them, it'd be best to know as early in the process as possible. Thank you in advance for your assistance! ^_^
I need to cancel my Player Companion subscription, but only for this month. Since I wrote for both of these Player Companions, I should be getting contributor copies, and I can't afford to buy copies on top of that this time. If it's easier, you can just take them out of the order when you generate it - like I said, this is a one-month deal. Thank you! ^_^
I ordered several minis and lined them up for shipping, but then realized that new promo minis were available as well. Could you add the seven minis in my sidecart to order 4144088, please? If additional shipping fees are necessary, let me know what I have to do - feel free to just bill me the difference. Thank you! ^_^
Looking at My Subscriptions, the case incentive for the next Pathfinder Battles set doesn't appear to be present. I'm trying to prepare my budget, and not knowing how that affects things is throwing my numbers off. If this can't be fixed at this time (due to the system not being ready or something), could you please provide an estimate of the cost for a subscriber? A rough idea of shipping costs would also be helpful. Thank you! ^_^
I was thinking of resubscribing for Horror Realms. However, looking at the release schedule, it looks like there are two books that month. I have no interest in Inner Sea Temples (and not a lot of money to spare, either). Will there be any way to subscribe and get just one of the two? Thank you! ^_^
The hold for my subscription order disappeared from my account statement, despite being there a day ago. It's probably nothing, but I wanted to make sure it was still going to bill and ship as planned. There was some sort of overdraft error, so it might be that - if it's been denied, could you reauthorize it? Thank you! ^_^
[PaizoCon 2016] Aethera Campaign Setting: Beacon in the Black - Sunday afternoon, 1:00-6:00 pm, 2016
So I'm going to be playing in Serpent's Rise this Saturday at a local convention. I'm really excited, but also very nervous, especially since it's going to be a tight time-slot. I really want to play this Experiment I've heard about, who's supposed to be some sort of oracle with unexplainable powers. That sounds right up my alley! I'm just worried about the time crunch. So, can anyone give me any tips on how to play this character, both character-wise and statistically? Is there a character sheet available online that I can look at? No spoilers on the scenario itself, please. I just want to make sure I'm prepared to play, and play well. The rest of the table is counting on me. Thank you! ^_^ P.S.: How does one assign the Chronicle for this? Is it done the same way as any other pregen? P.P.S. I know, or can guess, a couple things. Serpents Rise spoiler: 1. We do something bad to Aram Zey. 2. The Experiment is likely tied to Conference Z, from Occult Mysteries.
Grenades just seem actually terrible when you think about them from the perspective of "this is a grenade", not "this is a PF2e simple thrown weapon". A flat 1d8 damage isn't enough to kill ANYTHING, and when I get out a scifi grenade I expect it to be able to kill chaff enemies at the very least! Plus I'm paying a not insubstantial amount of money for it that I could instead be investing into my horribly overpriced gun ammo. I just don't really see any character ever going out there and buying grenades. Finding grenades as loot, sure. But they just don't warrant the price point? Especially since they are likely to eat your entire turn. Action 0: drop one hand off of your gun. Action 1: pull out the grenade. Action 2: throw grenade, watch it do nothing. Action 3: pick up your gun with both hands again. Also, Soldiers interact very poorly with them? Since the main Soldier feature, primary target, doesn't work with grenades nor grenade launchers, and with missile launchers the extra ammo cost is terrible!

My biggest problem with the system right now is the weird ammo economy and the way some weapons just get to ignore it at higher levels while it's always scuffed at lower levels. If all ammo scaled, you'd just stop reloading at higher levels. That's weird. But I can see it as a general boost to ranged combat at higher levels, which is nice but means all the reload feats become useless. If no ammo scaled, ranged combat would always be awkward with very low magazine sizes. As is, we're in this weird in between world where you probably want cartridge guns at lower levels and by level 11 NOT picking a battery gun is actively gimping yourself. Though I also dislike the ammo economy in general. It's so... needlessly complex? People already hate keeping track of arrows, now having to keep track of multiple different types of ammo (because you want multiple guns for resistances etc) AND different levels of consumption AND a bunch of extra ammo using features and feats... I'd really rather have ALL weapons use batteries (or generic magazines that scale like batteries), and for batteries to be cheaper. Make them magical magazines with nanobots that adapt to the gun or whatever.
Quote: A projector fastened to a belt or lapel encases the wearer’s body in this shimmering hardlight shell. Military-issue hardlight armor follows a predictable standard, but private users enjoy a range of customizable fashion options. It's a projector so small that it can be fastened to a lapel, but it still requires +1 strength, has a bulk of 1 and is, somehow, noisy? Must be one hell of a coolant fan inside that lapel pin. Now, don't get me wrong, I really, really like the idea of this armour. It's very cool. And you can customize your fashion! Finally, you can just walk around in casual clothes while still having protection thanks to hardlight projection! ...but the stats of the armor just do not fit the fantasy its description paints. Because it's a reskinnend chain shirt.

I'm having the same issue with the class, yeah. Right now, there's a grand total of 6 directives, and 3 of them are always going to be available for your character no matter how you build them. I was really expecting at least 1 directive specific to each of the leadership styles, because as is leadership styles... don't really do all that much? They don't have any feats tied to them, they give you a skill and a skill feat (while you're a class that's already drowning in skill feats and skill training), and then at level 6 you FINALLY get something out of it. And the level 6 effect is great! But... that's it. Oh, and also, "From the Front" really ought to give you Shield Block. Right now, the ONLY class that gets shieldblock for free is Solarion.
I agree entirely, especially since the game lacks an equivalent of Incredible Investiture from PF2e.
The biggest problem I have with Primary Target is that it consumes ammo. I'm already kinda iffy on how tiny all the magazine sizes in the game are (I know this was also the case in 1e, but I've never played that one and would probably have disliked it there just as much). But then this feature that is meant to let you use area weapons in bossfights and the likes (I DO know Pathfinder 2e, so I doubt many bosses would ever fail the reflex save) but with most of the weapons with area in the playtest, you are forced to reload either after one shot or two using that feature, usually with a 2 action reload, so 2-3 rounds into the bossfight you have a dead turn where all you do is reload and maaaybe move. Automatic weapons fare better, admittedly. And you do get bigger magazines for batteries as you climb levels. But it still feels very... dissatisfying? It might work fine in play, my group isn't going to clear up our schedule to playtest for a while yet, but just reading it... man. |
