I think the 3 actions per round is a great idea as it removes the all I can do this round is double move problem.
I understand the need for resonance but feel it should be tied to the class key stat as tying it to Charisma seems too arbitrary.
I like the hunted target ability for Rangers rather than chosen enemy as it removes some of the Meta gaming "I choose Humans because that is the common enemy" but I don't understand why the only ranged weapon feat at first level is Crossbow Ace , no elf ranger is going to use a crossbow.
I have no problem with Attacks of Opportunity for fighters only but think intimidation should be added to their signature skills.
That's all for now.

Question. Why does gaining a familiar/animal companion cost a feat for a ranger or wizard etc. But a Paladin gets a Righteous Ally as a class ability?

I'm inclined to agree with the inclusion of bonus spells for high scores in the relevant attributes. After all a high strength benefits a fighter , a high dexterity benefits a rogue so why not a high intelligence benefitting a wizard.

I'm a fan of the new archetype rules and hoping to see them expanded.

Ok, what is probably my biggest concern so far is INITIATIVE I'm sorry but the call to roll initiative is iconic and I want a simple dice roll rather than a debate of I sneaking , well I was searching and I was running delaying the action.

Is there a mistake with the Katana ? If not why would spend 20sp for one when it does exactly the same as a longsword which only costs 10sp.

I like that the alignment restrictions have been relaxed on the Druid and Monk but perhaps we could now Lawful Neutral Paladins.

I don't have a problem with changing races to ancestries nor with ancestry feats though I don't think all of them are necessary.
I think certain feats could be made basic ancestry traits , weapon familiarity for example. Humans could be given 2 feats for game balance. This would also offset the argument regarding half elf and half orc requiring a feat to play.

I like the weapon traits as they add more to the choice of weapon than simply it does the most damage but I am struggling to understand why a Rapier doesn't have the agile trait especially when the Main Gauche does and this is a classic historical pairing.

I've been considering creating a Ratfolk Shifter and this sounds like the perfect faction for him so I shall wait until it goes live to do so.

Congratulations and good luck to all the contestants.

Thought so but wanted to check. Thanks for the speedy reply.

Can Gm credit for Evergreen Scenarios be applied to the same character as which you have previously played the Scenario?

Hi,

I've been role-playing for a number of years but recently stopped due to a lack of venues in my area. I just purchased Pathfinder and I'm eager to start gaming again and wonder if there are any local groups with a space or players looking for a GM.

Regards,

Karl
