More obscure rules. Keep it simple.

I'm with Jon in that it needs to be pregen at conventions. If you want to pbp your own characters... do it for fun not credit.

We tend to play alot of PaizoCon - as there's little incentive to gm. As opposed to GenCon where GMs are rewarded with accommodations - so we do the full GM gambit there.

I prefer GenCon overall - the structure is in place for constant gaming. PaizoCon has alot of downtime if you are not into seminars - and the afternoon "pickup games" were less than successfully managed (too many of repeated mistakes from the previous year).

If you don't GM, and are only into playing PFS - i'd probably recommend PaizoCon.

Ah the AssHats.... where Lucious and Doc Tracy both lost the "pimp off" to Naerta... good times.

And when THUNDERLIPS! Finally got to give his veiny shaft into the crystal womb speech....

This being a day and change after Jon shouting/singing "I'm a little teapot" during the banquet... 20 bucks is 20 bucks man.

Besides.. who better to save the biggest AssHat in pathfinder society than the AssHats? "He may be an a$$hole, but he's OUR a$$hole!"

Not the entire MN crew. But I was playing a game so couldn't go.

My bad - thought you left already. Come on over for a post-con drink after your game. Probably find the bar at 10:30 for one last last (almost last) toast. Everyone left is invited of course.

Sadly, all good things come to an end.

One last (well almost last) beverage raised at the Roaster with the entire Minnesota crew, a few of the Naw'leans crew and Rand.

A beautiful and memorable convention. Every one of our GM's came back for more despite the infamous teams they endured.

Note to self: Abducted in Aethyr is not a great day 4 - eight am choice.

But then again... THUNDERLIPS! got off his spikey bush story... that was good.

Bar time on sunday night. Painlord sits down. Eric Brittain and Darren Caldemeyer sit down and its a few awesome hours of banter.

And Swat's good friend Alistair Rigg joins us and declares the beautiful virtues of Swat to Rand who is "poopoo" about Swat. Beautiful night of conversation.

Did i mention these words from Painlord? "I made a mistake."

At the bar with Painlord "i made a mistake"

Mark the date.

Pathfinder Swat sat down for Bid for Alabastrine this morning. 56 minutes later we make it out of the briefing. The Gm has lowered his head in laughter/pain/joy/disgust a dozen times.

58 minutes later, the first combat is over, the Perp's handcuffed and it is time for the union break. When the coffee and donuts landed on the table the gm was just speechless and started laughing again.

Vigilante Archetype... "Baker by day, butcher by night"

Banquet update number one: For twenty bucks... Jon Dehning will stand on his chair and shout/sing i'm a little tea pot.

Quote from Thursty: "oh. my. god..."

Quote from the Banquet Coordinator of the hotel: "please don't stand on the chairs... but if you do stay to the edges... or you will fall through."

The Minnesota crew is enjoying dinner with June Soler (RVC) and Will Chase. We pity them but they are amused. June was in on the sing-along

Sean Wellsmore seems to like us since he bailed on his table for our last chair.

A mixed experience at the afternoon pickup games...

On one hand, seeing Nefreet and chatting for a while. He met up with Wei Jei. Sweetsauce! Then... we couldn't get a game.

Too many players both experienced and new. Not enough gm's nor variety of games. (Not sure why most of the "pickup" games are the same games as the con). Oh well - got a nap in before the banquet.

Time to warm up for the banquet.

Day three begins with Denny's. Still feeling a little bad for the rediculous herd of cats GM Nathan had to tollerate last night from Swat! That guy is a champ.

Morning starts out with the "Pimp Off" between Lucious Lucius and the Doctor... followed by mimosas and some afternoon pickup games - gotta see how those are working out.

Breakfast buffet was very solid. Especially the chimichangas.

Sitting down to Deepmarket Deception... i get to sit with Aussie Sean's roommate! Two aussie GM's in two games! Good omens. Let the dice roll.

The day started out well. Landed safely at the airport and got breakfast. Early checkin to the hotel was smooth while waiting for the rest of the Minnesota crew. The hot tub ain't bad and the 55 degree weather was nice.

Jon Dehning, Jack Brown, Ruan Bolduan and Keith Apperson finally arrived in the afternoon, we hit the liquor store and sat down with Sean Wellsmore for his 150th table! The Forbidden Furnace of Forgotten Koor at 7-8 with a crew of degenerates - THUNDERLIPS!, and Lady BroKahn, Lucious Lucius and the Calistrean Elektra, the Dhampir Marjenic (sp?) and the pirate monk Naerta and her ship of playrooms. He put us through a great fun game and nearly got two kills (Yay Riddtwhipple and breath of life scroll).

@Hmm's hug was delivered to Mr. Compton near the end of the game while we ran a little long.

Dinner at the Roaster with Painlord and the Minnesota transplant Kyle was good. Solid bbq joint.

Back to the hotel for a nightcap and a full night's sleep - the last and only for this weekend!

I want to point out your prayers are answered. Behold ypur "paizo.com is experiencing heavier-than-usual traffic" banner on paizo.com

.. *poke the bear*..

To be fair... they did post on facebook the paizo website was being overwhelmed due to the twitch/humblebundle announcement

If some is interested (strider?), we have a tier 1-2 of s6-08 Segang Expedition starting and have room for one more. Let me know if you're interested. (We have a magus, bard, illusionist, rogue and swashbuckler thus far)

No. Neither matchup today has been a "game". Just butt wuppin

Whine Whine whine.

[Rant]
Everyone whines about officials. Other packer fans blame them for the Lions loss. Vikings fans blame them for the Packers win.

Here's a novel thought. Play better. Officials can't give a game away if your team plays better.
[/rant]

Now where's my glass of wine....

Happy Thanksgiving. Go Pack Go

@Damien I got the hint the first time. There's plenty of options.

Through all this chatter... all I'm thinking is how stable the forums have been lately. I've only gotten store down page once in over a week and that lasted like 10 minutes.

oh those poor mushrooms... and those poor empty bottles that will never be lonely....
*drinks*

Wrath of Khan style? Because I will vaporize you.... or myself if required.

Same name.... Oracle description states "as the investigator class ability".

I wouldn't allow both on same roll...

EotT is alot of fun face2face. So many shenanigans... but needs alot of time. More than 2 days.

If you guys can't make it work f2f, I'd volunteer to run it pbp next year when the group is ready.

I think taking a couple weeks off is very reasonable. The situation is clearly not fun for you, and I bet most if not all your players would agree a hiatus is reasonable to recharge and patiently wait out this technological storm.

I blame painlord. The site first went down today.. the moment I tried to click his *coughcough*link lol...

I did dot but my other game the char is in.. the gm is obnoxiously lacking in updates to finish the game the last two weeks... I doubt it'll be done by tomorrow

Napping? I thought he was getting his daily snuggles in... lol

The Minnesota contingent to Gencon will be at full strength again next year.

Done

Damien on Keith

Might need to be friends with bolduan. I tagged damien so if he accepts it, his friends should also be able to view on his page

When the wife got on facebook and saw the pic, her response was: "you really meant on top of lol"

Played. And a full pbp plate. I'll get in a future one

Dotted papasteve. I'm assuming our frozen fingers gm won't dissappear for a week again..

Bacon. That's the theme for the 150th. As befitting the purveyor of maple bacon bourbon.

That's a fair point i suppose - I don't have first hand experience outside the states - but i feel it would be considered rude to offer unsolicited advice - though i have seen GMs ask at the end - few and far between.

i gotta speak up after that one. regardless of game experience - i will always thank the GM for running the game(pbp or f2f). I am going through a slow painful game of Fingers of Midnight, and Silbeg will easily second the slow pace - but i will still thank the GM for at least trying.

But i do agree with alot of the other points Deussu makes - especially in new players - irregular posts, subpar detail and lack of hooks are hard - but i also see this primarily in newbie pbp's. If I saw it in a longerterm pbp'er... i'd get really frustrated in it too.

Expanding on Part D... I really get frustrated with people who type of a great roleplayed diplomacy and roll diplomacy.. but i find out they intend to only get out of the conversation and then expecting to think twice later and probably go back on the stated statement.

I used to ask for the players' most recent chronicle as well as give out small simple stats cards (that include a simplistic mechanic question)...

Until at PaizoCon i sat down to run and no player had their chronicle sheets.. including a VC and his son.

I just ask for any quirky bits now, as its better to not put myself in that situation.

I would strongly consider treating it with the same rules as a headband of intellect. keeps it simple for the increase and the eventual decrease.

Pathfinder is not about a Society of "Heroes". We are a society of everyday above-average individuals making a living in this world.

You should verify what they said...

If what they said was the Alchemist's class bonus for the use of Craft (alchemy) to create alchemical items was not allowed then they are correct. only permanent universal bonuses are allowed... aka without conditions of use...

example... a compass is a bonus on survival to not get lost... does not apply to day jobs.

Benrislove went the same route i did

Couple interesting options i had not considered - Inner Beauty trait over lantern lodge trait.. @Adam i'm only aware of the day job boon in a 5-9 tier scenario...

I had intentionally left off crafter's fortune in my 22 as only a wiz can use it before getting a 2pp wand... but what wiz would choose it as one of its starters?... anyways...

1 rank
6 int (protege)
3 class
3 feat
2 feat
2 trait
1 trait
2 mwk tools
1 boon
5 luck/crafter's fortune

so... 26 with a potential 29 if Inner Beauty works.. plus if there is a level one scenario day job boon...

But with the street performer... i think Adam wins after the double up.

Nothing is more fun to me than having a highly ineffective near-maxed day job roll.

This led me on a mini-quest....

Now I dare anyone to find a better level one, zero experience character day job bonus than the +22 I have calculated as best possible. (And yes I am including boons and vc-protege)

You are asking for an exception to the current fame rule. Its not a full change, just a specific exception.

My opinion: Keep it simple. (because PFS limitations are complicated enough as is)

Obviously the Basic one is the best. I prefer also to use dry erase markers ... just MAKE sure that you always clean them off after a session or you will end up with maps like mine where the ink has set in.

Two comments: Dry erase markers on the lamenated basic maps... Chessex grid maps you cannot use dry erase. must use wet erase markers.

As for cleaning, try the Mr. Clean magic erasers. Works wonders on old marker stains.

frostbite attack + spell combat attack = full round action

additional shocking grasp casting is an additional stndard action...

I would say that after 7th level, the return on your sorcerer bloodline diminishes... 9th level ability is nice but overkill as well as the bonus spell at nine.

Go with the Prc (at 8th) as that is your character concept and that alone is worth it.

use the current "Pathfinder Society" pic used at the top left of the paizo webpage ;)

So I looked this up and found a bunch of posts from 2014 arguing back and forth on this topic. What happens when the swashbuckler'a enemy rolls a natural 20 vs a parry? What happens when the swashbuckler rolls a natural 20 to parry? What happens when they both roll natural 20s?

Thanks Bunches

Can an Unchained Rogue take the Ninja Trick rogue talent to get to the Ninja Trick list, then take the ninja trick: Rogue Talent to get to the original Rogue talents? So like let's say I'm an Unchained Rogue grabbing ninja trick --> rogue talent --> offensive defense.

Is this allowed? I doubt it but figured I'd give it a go.

Okay, so I know that a black blade can't be enchanted like a normal weapon, but I was wondering if you could pay to increase its intelligent qualities. For example, on a regualr intelligent item I can pay to give it blindsense and increase its senses to 60 feet. Can I do this to the black blade?

Also, do intelligent items sleep?

Okay, so here is what I want to do. I want to get dex to damage with my dagger. My confusion comes from the fact that my book doesn't mention light weapons in the feat, while both the Archives of Nethys and the PFSRD say it does. I was wondering if their had been a rule change or if these websites are just plain wrong. This is a pfs character so I need consistency not just a ruling from one GM.

Thanks Bunches

Hey! So I'm building a swashbuckler arcanist for my campaign and I was wondering if these two abilities could be used together.

Dimensional Slide
The arcanist can expend 1 point from her arcane reservoir to create a dimensional crack that she can step through to reach another location. This ability is used as part of a move action or withdraw action, allowing her to move up to 10 feet per arcanist level to any location she can see. This counts as 5 feet of movement. She can only use this ability once per round. She does not provoke attacks of opportunity when moving in this way, but any other movement she attempts as part of her move action provokes as normal.

Dodging Panache
Dodging Panache (Ex): At 1st level, when an opponent attempts a melee attack against the swashbuckler, the swashbuckler can as an immediate action spend 1 panache point to move 5 feet; doing so grants the swashbuckler a dodge bonus to AC equal to her Charisma modifier (minimum 0) against the triggering attack. This movement doesn't negate the attack, which is still resolved as if the swashbuckler had not moved from the original square. This movement is not a 5-foot step; it provokes attacks of opportunity from creatures other than the one who triggered this deed. The swashbuckler can only perform this deed while wearing light or no armor, and while carrying no heavier than a light load.

Thanks Bunches

I have a pair of swashbuckler builds in mind, the details aren't too important to the main dilemma: one wields a falcata and one wields a rapier.

at level five the Falcata build will look like this
Falcata +14 (1d8 +13/17-20/x3)

and at the same level the Rapier build will look like this
Rapier +12 (1d6 +18/15-20/x2)

The Falcata will hit harder when it crits but the rapier will crit more often. I don't know which will net more damage.

Thanks Bunches

Hi! Ive been looking for a character sheet/pdf that I can edit and use. My handwriting is kinda messy and I like having character sheets typed. I have a very important issue though. Every character sheet website I have visited the character sheets do not understand the concept of a negative number. I have an oracle blaster with five str, and I would like that represented on a character sheet. The ever so popular Necros sheets do not fix this problem, and I dislike that I have to print 9 pages to use only three. Is there anyone who knows a sheet or website that I can go to and punch in negative numbers?

Ello, I was hoping somebody could help me out with this. I want to know if I can take two archetypes at the same time on the same level. I understand that you can take two archetypes in the same class as long as they don't conflict but I wanted to know if I could take two archetypes of the same class in the same level. For example a first level cross blooded tattooed sorcerer.

Hey, this is my first summoner and I had a question about Eidolons claw attacks and weapons in Pathfinder Society

My eidolon is going to look like a centaur but replace the horse with a lion.
First level I'm taking the extra evolution feat that's how I'll get four evolution points.

My eidolon is a quadruped
Base evolutions:
Bite
Limbs (legs) x2
Evolutions
claws (for the legs) 1 point
Improved damage (claws) 1 point
Limbs (arms) 2 points
Eidolon feat
Martial weapon proficiency (Great sword)

My question is whether this is legal, my friend said that claws and weapons can't be used together on a full attack. Ive yet to find any ruling confirming this so I ask you.

Can I, on a full attack, do
1 great sword
2 claws
1 bite

I'm following the max attacks rule because it strictly for natural attacks. But I wanted to know if this was society legal.
