Started another blog that take my video game inspired ideas for Paizo games and put them down on 'paper'. Usually PF2 but sometimes it Starfinder. Today I did a Sonic the Hedgehog inspired character build taking a heavy lean onto the movies.
Hi, it that crazy person that brought you Shardfinder (Eberron to PF2), now posting random video game inspired stuff. Would you like to put Keese into your game? Here you go! (Apprently there a few Zelda PF2 things out there?)
Stepped away from Shardfinder to do something a bit different...
Ok, something weird happen. This morning I submitted an order to send my friend a gift of the Blue Skittermander Plushie/Dice Bag, Blue Skitermander Pin and the Rise of the Runelord Dice. Then on the way home that order somehow turned into my subscription order, absorbed the plushie and pin into it while sending the dice to my sidecart? Can we get this fixed before stuff shipped and make sure the right items get to the right place please?
Hello! I got my shipping notice today so I went into my Digi Lib to start downloading my new toys while waiting for the physical versions to come in. I don't seem to have the Primal and Focus Spell cards in my Digi Lib (I quickly pre ordered the spell cards after the announcement about getting the digi ones free.) I have the Arcane, Divine and the Occult ones. Thank you for your time!
So I had some thoughts on Dual wielding Small Arms and it it on my blog.
So I have a player who has taken Nimble Dodge which over all very straight forward but as it a new system and I am still getting my bearings on it something wavers in my mind. Do I tell the player the attack value against them before they make the call to use their reaction? I am thinking yes because traditionally you just ask if X hits their AC or not, which would cover the Trigger for Nimble Dodge and the player can decide to take that sweet +2 to avoid the damage or reduce the Crit to Normal Success BUT should I tell them they are targeted, let them decide then tell them the attack value? Now obviously I am not going to trick them with area attacks and make an area attack potentially trigger Nimble Dodge; just talking straight forward Strike on the player.
Eberron is one of my favorite settings and the PF2 is quickly growing on me. I see a lot of potential in combining these two passions so I started a conversion blog which I will post about here to put the word out and another place where we can discuss the contents of my posts. It called Shardfinder 2 as I did a big chunk of converting before on this forum you can still find called Shardfinder. I look forward to talking with everyone!
Sorry to bother during a time I am sure is a mad house but given the updates to Subscriptions I have like to make some changes to my Subscriptions/Sidecart. I like to cancel my Starfinder Maps Subscription. I picked up the Pathfinder 2 Accessories Subscription which makes some of the items in my sidecart redundant from when I originally preorder them. They now have an S for the subscription on them but that only confuses me. Basically just want to make sure I am not going to get subscription items twice? Hope that makes sense. Thank you for your time.
Alright so I know a lot of things are choatic right now, website eyes, playtest, etc etc. I noticed people talking about their subscriptions on Discord and realized I was behind or late. Seems my card denied payment but I never got a notice that it did. THe deny is my fault; I forgot to update my card to the new one given the other was replaced! I have updated the payment method and hoping to get this started again where it left off aka I hopefully not going to miss a month? Thank you for your time.
Yeah, I have been Pending since Jul 12 so I am starting to get a bit worried. Guess I am just looking for some reassuring as I am sure things are crazy with GenCon, The Playtest Amazon mess up and such. Thank you for your time.
So we have a new player (not a newbie but more a 3.5 player usually) joining our group to fill in the hole left by another player leaving. Coming in as a 1 Level Fighter/13 levels Druid. He wants +1 Wild Ironwood Fullscale armor because money wise he can afford it but this isn't something you can just buy. I well you can't make that a +1 because it too heavy to get the +1 for your level and I am not sure about enhancing armor that is temporary +1 if he could as you have to recast every X days. He is dead Set about having fullplate at this level but I am iffy, specially when he could just go with breastplate. So to maybe figure things out I looked at the NPC Codex druids to see examples and you can find Ironwood armored wearing druids there but now I am even more confused. None of them seem to be high enough level to maintain their chosen Ironwood armors let alone how is your Ironwood spell allowing you to have a Wild ironwood armor? So now I am confused, am I missing something?
I realize after placing this I also like to add the Pathfinder Battles—Dungeons Deep: Gargantuan Red Dragon to this order. Can I get it added, or if I make another order in next 24 will it all come together?
So I have a player that wants to create or have it created for his character (who is a barbarian) a new weapon quality that he and another player sort of outlined. Basically he wants the benefits of the Longarm spell as a weapon quality but can only be used for a certain number of rounds per day with a lesser and greater version. The Lesser version would only attack as the masterwork version of the sword in the extra reach squares and the greater would match all the benefits of the weapon. In fluff he sees it as an phantom or energy blade extending out of the weapon and should be limited to spears and sword like weapons as well. I don’t think it really needs such a limit and don’t see anything wrong with it. I mean if Longarm wasn’t a personal spell I just say buy potions or make a wand but as this isn’t an option I figure take a good look at the possibility of such a quality which I think includes peer review. So, this is what I have so far. Extending, Lesser (Could be a better name): An extending weapon is able to create a phantom extension of itself when wielded upon its users need. Three times per day, as a swift action, the weapon‘s threat range extends by 5 feet until the start of the wielder’s next turn. Any attacks in the extended reach are treated if the weapon was only masterwork plus any material qualities it might have. Moderate evocation; CL 6th; Craft Magic Arms and Armor; spiritual weapon; Price 2,400 gp. Extending, Greater: A Greater Extending weapon shares the same qualities as lesser except they gain access to five times per day and treat attacks at the extended range with all the qualities of the enchanted weapon. Moderate evocation; CLth 9th; Craft Magic Arms and Armor; spiritual weapon and magic weapon, greater; Price 6,400 gp
So I am daring to play a wizard with Int 12 with no plans to increase it. My plan was to take Metamagic Feats to alter lvl 0, 1, 2 spells into the higher slots. From my understanding of the rules this seem pretty legit but when talking about this in other places there seems to be a split about it. If this was a home game and the GM cool with my plans I wouldn't bring this up but this is a Society Character who is only lvl 2 at the moment and does not have metamagic feats yet but I plan to take them. Though it seems the reason for the split has to do with the ruling in the FAQ for the Core Book: http://paizo.com/products/btpy88yj/faq?Pathfinder-Roleplaying-Game-Core-Rul ebook#v5748eaic9r9w So, in short can my Int 12 Wiz, when high enough level, use a metamagic feat to make a metamagic spell that requires a level 3 slot or greater?
Just checking what is going on with my order. The tracking number doesn't work and it is now day 11 out of the 8 day estimate. Just want to make sure everything is alright.
So just curious about peoples thoughts on this and just wanted to generally share. So I am running RotR and the healer of the party is a halfing cleric with a fighter dip. The character rides around on a riding dog and the player wanted to make the character's mount a bit more survival because she is really getting into the character riding around. We have talked and looked at various options coming up with this: At lvl 11 (the character's next lvl) she will take the leadership feat and will take the riding dog as her cohort; the char's goddess granted the dog the awaken spell onto it. As long as she treats it fairly and such I think I am going to follow the mount rules as usual (Unless she yells charge then it will totally charge some enemy). It not really clear who is suppose to make the cohort but given she a new player over all I am designing three different versions and offering them to her. Note: Given the awaken riding dog is a different CR then a usual race I didn't do the recommended lvl via Leadership score which was ten. Fighter:

Alright, I just want to make sure I am getting this right. My character rolls with an +1 adamantine greatsword and has a prestige of 22. I want to upgrade the sword to have the deceptive quality which would make it the equivalent of a +2. So let's break this down. Prestige 22 so cap limit for items is 8,000 gp. The starting item is +1 adamantine greatsword which is worth 5,050 gp. Upgrading to a +1 Deceptive Adamantine Greatsword would be 6,000 gp but the overall value of the sword would grow to 11,050 gp. If the prestige cap is a per at time of purchase then I am fine but it an over all value of an item then it looks like I have to wait to the next purchase limit. I think I have to wait but not 100% sure.
Going to my first PFS game tomorrow! Hopefully they can fit me in because it looks like their will be a lot of people there. A bit worried that I am spreading my character too thin in stats because I want to be able to max my sneak attack options (flank, stealth, feinting and damage) but I think I will just roll with it, not every character needs to be a min/max!
The group closes to me plays 1st and 3rd Sundays which puts their next game before Gen Con so what I am getting at is does new seasons reset or remove characters? I hate to make a character then two weeks later have to make a new one (Unless the character died but that is different.). Sidenote: Thinking Tengue Rogue wielding Great Sword, focusing on fient/maxing sneak attack.
Unfortunately I need the following Subscriptions Canceled Pawns
Keeping
I currently have the Guide to the River Kingdoms in my sidecart but I notice that the regular Print versions are out though when I put the item in my sidecart they were not. Am I SOL or did a copy get put to the side or do I need to switch it out with a non-mint? Thank you.
1) My May Subscription has merged with my June Subscription? Um, what happen? 2) I was wondering, this policy "Paizo will pay the first $10 in shipping and handling for any shipment of products totaling $100 or more." Does it apply to subscription orders?
Currently running RotRA AP and one of my player's is playing a Monk of the Empty Hand. Somehow we understand that the Empty Hand was automatically 'prof' with improvised weapons. Well, after doing a character audit I have come to realize that this is not the case and the character is now level four. So now I have to decide to leave the monk 'prof' or apologize to my player and start applying the penalty. Thoughts? I am leaning toward the apology and doing the rules but offering the player a chance to edit his character (aka changing out feats to get Catch Off Guard). Speaking of Catch Off Guard, given that the Empty Hand treats weapons as improvised weapons would Catch Off Guard apply? I think it would.
Please remove Pirates of the Inner Sea from my sidecart please, I found a copy in a local store. Thank you.
So I have a new game coming up in the near future and I have decided to play a gnome. Also want to play a class I never have used before. After looking at those classes I am on the fence about either playing a barbarian or a sorcerer. So I turn to the boards to use as a spring board. Details: 15 point buy, characters are to be in the low range of starting age and we all live in the same small town. I am more Concept > then mechanics/optimization. Most likely Core only given it is the GMs first Pathfinder game as the GM. For the barbie I was thinking 'ankle biter' gnome who really gets into the rage. I know I want to take the bite rage power at level two. What before that though? Grappling seems like a bad idea all around but I am liking the visual of either spike armor or spiked gauntlets as the 'primary' attack form or just perhaps improve unarmed strike feat? I know this is no where near optimized but not sure how best to get this ankle biting concept perfect. Thinking about Str 13 (15 Before Racial Mod), Dex 12, Con 16 (14 Before Racial Mod, Int 10, Wis 12, Cha 11 (9 Before Racial Mod). For the Sorcerer I was thinking Fey Bloodline, perhaps being an 'enchanter', taking Spell Focus Enchantment with putting the points in Str 10 (12 before racial mod), Dex 14, Con 10 (8 before racial mod), Int 13, Wis 10, Cha 17 (15 befoe Racial mod). Thoughts, Questions?
To go with the other Wishlists. Of course we have the usual suspects: Looking at what is currently slated I am sure we will see future pawn sets to go with each of the future APs. So now the true wishes: Of course some of these would blur with past and future boxes but still.
Running the RotR Anniversary AP and a player has given me a rough outline for their Background of what they like it to be. This is for a half-elf inquisitor of Calistria focusing on vengeance. (PS, this is also a new player.) I am not really feeling it but here it is: BG outline:
I was born by the harbor. I was despised for my half-blood and bastard status. They only kept me and raised me so that I could be the next harbor keeper.
I hated my race.
I hated the humans.
But I didn't run away. I knew I didn't have anywhere to go, and at the very least, under the care of the elves I could learn their skills.
My Goddess took pity on me.
My first thought is this needs to get toned down. If she is to be the future Harbor Master, why would they treat her badly? Elves beating? As a culture I just don't see the elves of the Inner Sea doing that. I understand the player is trying to give this background to have this angery vengeance against the world character but..I think she needs to tone it down. I like certain parts about it like the goddess stepping in and such. Just not sure what else to tell they player about adjusting the background or where to suggest WHERE to have it be in the inner sea. Help?
So I was reading 'Varisia,Birthplace of Legend' today and read about Kapenia Dancer. I fell in love with the flavor and will most likely play one even though the Bladed Scarf only Crits on a 20. Anyways, for some reason Blackbound combo with it popped in my head. Would you allow the combining of these two archtypes? Blackbound changes: Reduced Arcana Pool, Gain Blackblade. K. Dancer: Reduced Spells, Change Weapon Prof (Loose martial, gain bladed scarf as one handed instead of two), Lose Armor Prof. So, they do not change any of the same things so tech they should work. Next, the blackblade feature. If the bladed scarf is a one handed for a K. Dancer and slashing, tech the dancer should be able to pick a bladed scarf for it's blackblade?
It is a little vague but if I am understand this correctly if you can target a mount you can target the rider? What if the mount is bigger then large but the rider medium or two sizes smaller?
I just got my order in today which included two Pathfinder Battles: Rise of the Runelords Standard Booser Packs (WZK70740). In one of the packs I got a Goblin Commando on Goblin Dog 21 of 65. The mini looks awesome except that my Goblin Commando is missing his Head! There is a neck but that is it. It was not loose in the package either so I just can't glue it back on. Anyway I could get a replacement 21 0f 65 or am I just SOL?
Can I have these combined into one shipment? Thank You
So I have a player who is playing an Earth School Wizard who took the Spell Focus feat. He wanted to do Earth instead of the usual schools. After thinking about it I said ok, that it only apply to spells that carry the Earth descriptor. Is this too little bang for the buck?

Heritage Animal Form Bear Bear, Grizzly (CR 4) Boar Boar, Dire (CR 4) Rat Rat, Dire (CR 1/3) Tiger Tiger (CR 4) Wolf Wolf, Dire (CR 3) Wolverine Wolverine, Dire (CR 4) (This is from Errata and my Conversion of it) Weretouched III (Ex): At 5th level, a weretouched master gains an additional bonus to one or mor ability scores while shifting. These bonuses stack with all other ability score bonuses granted during shifting (such as from weretouched I). Heritage Animal Form Bear +4 Str Boar +6 Con Rat +6 Dex Tiger +2 Str, +4 Con Wolf +2 Str, +2 Dex, +2 Con Wolverine +2 Dex, +4 Con (This is from the Errata)
Taking a break from Chapter 2 Action Points:
Action Points There is no real conversion involved, either you can choose to use them or don't. There is another option in the Advanced Player's Guide; Hero Points. I would choose to replace Action Points with Hero Points but I also think some mods to Hero Points will have to be done of that is the case. First I leave the Hero Point spells and items alone. Next allow Hero Points to do what Action Points do listed under Special Actions on pg. 46 of the ECS. Of course instead of turn or rebuke undead it be extra uses of Channel and ignore the Stablize section because we already have Cheat Death with the Hero Points.
Skills: Skills As Listed except for the following changes. Craft: Add; the following paragraph to the end of the Repair Warforged section: Repairing warforged requires some crafting expertise. This particular use of the Craft skill cannot be performed untrained. (This is from the Errata) Forgery: ESC, pg. 46 This use of the Forgery Skill now applies to the Linguistics Skill, using the same rules listed. Speak Language: Add this to the table; Lanaguage: Gnome, Typical Speaker: Gnome, Alphabet: Dwarven. (This is from the Errata)
As I look over the artificer and glance other peoples conversations I have some things that pop in my mind. First, part of converting the artificer is easy, it as very few 'empty levels' but on the other hand one of it's main features has to be scrapped and replaced or rebuilt from the ground up. This makes me wonder why I don't use one someone else's conversions or the one out of Tome of Secrets. Firstly I don't use ToS because it has empty levels and for others I realize lack of options. Pathfinder classes have different options for the chars. Alas I am having trouble thinking of them right now, so I look to the boards to help at least some ideas I can run with. My other intention for this chapter is right up some fluff on the paizo classes that are not originally in ECS to give examples how those classes would fit in Eberron.
I have decided that one day I will run Eberron using Pathfinder but some converting needs to be done so I am doing the whole book. This is biggest task I have done for a DM and I am looking for second opions and general backboarding. So, starting with Chapter 1, races. My first thought and try was to use the ARG playtest race builder. I figure that it can be a rough draft until the actaul ARG comes out. When I finished I was not satisfied, specialy after I read the Conversion document. I also realized that perfect 10 isn't that big of a deal to me as I allow most races when it comes to ECS. I present my initial ARG playtest builds along with my thoughts for my second try. Changeling:
Changeling Humanoid (shapechanger) 0 RP (Total 0)
So I am thinking of giving Changeling the Human Heritage Modifier. Other Races coming in next post.
I like the alchemist class but I can do without the Mr.Hyde, is there an Archtype that I missed that replaces the mutagen?
I have a player who has taken the Rude Song Trait for his goblin. It gives a +2 to Perform (Sing) but it also says Perform is a class skill. My question is does it mean all Perform skill options or just Sing?
I am starting a all goblin campaign starting with We Be Goblins! I bought the first Jade AP for reference material and rather impressed by it (first AP I bought). My current idea after my glance through is to send my goblin heroes through the stuff the AP talks about them doing after we are done with WBG! Then using the rest of the material to run more adventures in the area. Has anyone else ever takien the material from APs and ran with it for other adventures then the one in the AP?
In GoG, they give new favored class options for goblins. For rogues they get a free rank (not point) to either ride or Stealth. At first glance I am like how is this different then a free skill point but I looked at the wording and figure it be away to get past the rank equal to or less than level rule. Now that I am backing up my groups characters on Hero Lab, the software is just treating it as a free skill point (and of course saying I am using too many skill pints into one rank). So it has me thinking, is my interpation wrong? |
