What about the -10 penalty to disguise yourself as a different race, if you look at the original entry while Kitusne have 2 forms, only the humanoid fox counts as the "true" form, which means looking human counts as a different race, imposing a -10 penalty which is counteracted by the +10 from the shapeshifting ability, can you give me a rules grounded reason why the kitsune does not suffer from the -10 for disguising itself as a different race? The Kitsune's (Supernatural Ability) "Change Shape" is defined as mirroring the "Alter Self" spell, a transmutational (rather than illusionary) spell requiring a Standard Action. It provides a +10 Disguise bonus for the Kitsune to appear as it's single, same gender "human" form, or: with the 'Realistic Likeness' feat, +10 with any human form previously encountered. As a Supernatural Ability requiring concious effort and a Standard Action to achieve, it is an optional but not "natural" or "default form for the Kitsune, and doesn't act like the "Perfect Copy" supernatural ability of the Doppleganger! Wheras not implicitly stated, some DMs might disregard the cumulative -2 penalty for the Kitsume's single pre-defined "human" form being of a different race or age category (it must be of the same gender). However, if employing the "Realistic Likeness" feat (which doesn't specify a same gender form) my inclination would be to employ this cumulative -2 penalty for different "step" away from the Kitsune in terms of race, gender and age category. We should also remember the familiarity bonus' to viewer's opposed Perception checks vs. the Kitsune's Disguise total...ranging from "Familiar" at +4 to "Intimate" at +10...Though casual, unsuspicious viwers would generally be assumed to passively "take 10" on their Perception rolls. Now: can our supernaturally bolsterd Kitsune "take 10/20" on his or her Disguise total ?!
Hi Mat,
http://paizo.com/paizo/blog/v5748dyo5lec8?Pathfinder-Society-in-Ireland Please contact me if you'd like further details... There is also a "Pathfinder Society Ireland" group on Facebook, if that's any use. All the best, Jon Burwell
Really looking forward to it! We are hoping for a respectable* Irish contingent this year. Minor point: a few of us have stayed at "The Old Coach House" in Digbeth during the last couple of years, and I'm afraid to stay we've been very disapointed each time. Might I suggest it's not promoted on the site this year? [* In terms of numbers rather than reputations anyway!]
The day has arrived Vagrant-Poet! Check link below: http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2p4qv?Welcome-to-new-VentureCaptain-of-Ireland# 1 Events at least monthly. We're mostly bunched up in the north at the momment (though I hear whispered plans are afoot...)
Is it a majority of players that dislikes the alignment system, or merely a very vocal minority? Really don't know SwnyNerdgasm. The alignment system is something I find both wonderfully simple and thought provoking, and was (myself) scandalised they'd mucked about with it in 4th ed. Now, the "assisting" others & [shudders] "taking 10/20/whatever" with skill checks I absolutely despise, despite understanding the logic.
Hi Ed: There's a fair few of us up in the Belfast area. Many us are involved with the Table Top North gaming group and/or the Arkham Gaming Centre in the village of Glenoe, Co. Antrim. 'Dragonslayers' at Queens (who organise Q-Con) & our friends the 'Causeway Giants' on the North coast also deserve mentions, of course. There's a few of us from different groups who likely going down to 'Warpcon' in Cork in late January.In the meantime (though it's short notice!) we've something on weekend after next: "...PFS Returns to the Emerald Isle at the wonderful Arkham Gaming Centre Starter event on 17th December 2011 at Arkham Gaming Centre, Gleno Village, Larne, N.Ireland Time 10:30 to 17:30
Three tables Spaces: 3 seats remaining and going fast (as of 6th December) Running First Steps Part One: In Service To Lore. When Sat, Dec 17, 2011 morning, afternoon
Scenarios Intro 1: First Steps—Part I: In Service to Lore (PFRPG)..." All the best to you all.

I'll take that as a compliment.Andoran FTW!Meh ...Big Boy scouts in Blue. I do hope that we of the decaying 'Old World' factions aren't too late to join in with the choruses of jealousy, bitterness and sour-grapery... Obviously Andorran's (soon to be rectified) position as sole 'goody' faction, though a huge simplification, has certainly added to it's great popularity, as discussed. However, would it be churlish to suggest that another factor might be that it’s a HUGELY idealised version of a certain real-world superpower only too keen to export 'democracy and freedom' itself ? Some of us (real world) post-colonialist euro trash fairly balk at the withering scorn that seeps through writings about 'Taldor' for example: it's almost as if it were viewed through a... shall we say... 'Andorran' lens? Now, if the economic interests of Lumber Consortium re. Andoran's 'internationalism' was more widely discussed... [through clenched teeth] Congratulations Andorrans: I like your new badge. There, I said it... |
