Hi. With the Bestiary and Pathfinder rpg rules now out would the Cockatrices be converted to Pathfinder Rpg rules? In the beastiary they deal dex damage until you hit 0 and at that point you turn to stone. Wanted to get input on this if you have any to share.

:o oh boy, I forgot to consider the fact that it would conflict with my schedule. Mainly because I haver very little in the way of one >.> but this just happens to conflict with it. I'm sorry crustbucket but I'm no good for Saturday nights.

Counte me in. I don't know anything about the Shackled City adventure which is all the better ;D

If anyone here is planning to run a game using the Pathfinder RPG Beta rules you can add me to your list of players. I have experience playing rpg's online and know how to use skype and virtual tabletop programs.

Hehe, I was a player in this particular adventure path. During the process of clearing foxglove manor we had one player die because he decided to grabble the revenant on the second floor >.> After finishing the clearing out of Foxglove manor we resolved to burn the place to the ground however, something prevented anything from taking flame in the manor. We decided at that moment that if we couldn't destroy it with fire instead, we would return at a later date once we had learned the earthquake spell and knock the entire cliffside into the ocean. We did so with a scroll of Earthquake much much much later.

Okay, I've been playing a Bard and I have a few specific questions about what Inspire Courage (pg. 18) can affect.

Inspire courage says that it gives a "+1 morale bonus to attack and weapon damage rolls". Now I hate to be the type to pick over every single word but since it doesn't say "weapon attack and damamge rolls" I believe this means all attack rolls even if they don't involve a weapon, such as rays.

I'm assuming I'm correct on this but even if I'm not this question would still apply. Would this +1 to attack rolls, whether they be weapon only or not, apply to a Universalist Wizards's ability Hand of the Apprentice (pg. 196). It's a supernatural ability in which the Wizard concentrates to make a weapon attack using his BAB +Int modifier. There is a melee attack roll involved. So I'm wondering if the attack roll AND the damage roll would recieve the benefits of a bard's inspire courage.

That looked very awesome. But, where's the rogue skulking in the background? You know there always is one ;D

After re-reading the feat I'm no longer as certain as I was before.

Exotic Weapon Proficiency
"Choose a type of exotic weapon. You understand how to
use that type of exotic weapon in combat."

It seems to me if it was only a specific weapon the second sentence would instead say "You understand how to use that exotic weapon in combat".

I'm also playtesting a PFRPG Bard, loving it, but only have 11 Int, leaving me seriously lacking for skill points. So far I have been only able to keep up with one perform skill, I don't have a chance at maintaning two performs.

After reading through the many different offered solutions ranging from making perform a class feature to just crazy stuff, I think a simple increase of 8 skill points per level would fix all the bard skill problems while leaving all their current options available. It makes sense to me for a bard to have as many skill points to a Rogue, they're practically companions in flexibility.

Damn bats. My parties wizard summoned a swarm of bats to fight a swarm of locusts. Since I'm a bard I watched from nearby and made a beautiful play out of the resulting mess.

But I would agree, a Summon Swarm II or III would be a nice addition.

Yah, I could definately see it as a Sor/Wiz spell (especially after viewing that link ;D). I play a bard and have it on my spell list, and since I'm an arcane spellcaster I don't see why it shouldn't be on the list of the other two arcane spellcasters.

I like the concept you have Sneaksy. Tell me how it tests out in your game.

I'm not sure. But I would argue that no the Bardic Performance wouldn't have to be the same target as the spell. The reason I say that is because most Performances are in fact an area effect, they just target either allies or enemies in most cases.

allowing a bard to cast spells while using bardic music was a thought as well (but I would suggest imposing a spellcraft check. Or attacking while using bardic music requiring a perform check. (mind you it will be required that they use a proper performance, ie: dance or singing/oratory/chanting/etc.)

I found a feat that might interest you. It was from the Pathfinder Campaign setting for the RPG under General Feats. It actually has the opposite effect of what you were talking about. Instead of casting a spell while using bardic music you instead perform a bardic performance while casting a spell.

Harmonic Spell
You can weave bardic music effects into your spellcasting.
Prerequisite: Perform (any) 8 ranks, bardic music ability.
Benefit: When you cast a harmonic spell, you can activate
one of your bardic music abilities as a free action. The bardic
music is incorporated into the spell’s casting time, and the
effect of the bardic music lasts for as long as the spell’s casting
time continues and for 5 rounds thereafter. Activating a bardic
music ability with Harmonic Spell consumes an additional
bardic music use per day, but does not increase the effective
level of the spell being cast.

I am personally a bard player, it is definately one of my favorite classes and the one I enjoy roleplaying the most. I haven't gotten this feat yet and it will be some time until I do.

Well, move my thread if its in the wrong place or there is already one catering to this subject.

Personally there is one Prestige Class that I would want to see converted to the PFRPG. It was called "Initiate of the Sevenfold Veil" and it was from The Complete Arcane. Now, that is copyrighted of course and not OGL. But the concept of the prestige class was a arcane spellcaster who specialized in abjuration magic, specifically spells dealing with the color spectrum such as the Prismatic spells. Now I know that no one has a copyright out on the color spectrum >.> . So a prestige class based on abjuration and prismatics shouldn't be infringing on anything copyrighted as long as it is made to PFRPG rules, which would take put some distance in between it and the prestige class listed in the CoArcane. I really enjoyed that class, it was a offense through a excellent defense spellcaster. As a 9th level spell they gained an ability called "Kaleidoscopic Doom" which targeted one creature and turned all magical effects on that creature against him, it functioned as a greater dispel magic but for each effect it dispelled it dealt damage of a serious sort as well. As it advanced in levels this class basically gained access to each color of the light spectrum as a "veil" that could be used to ward against attacks. The veils could be used as a personal warding affecting only you or could be spread out into a warding that could affect adjacent squares, and in some cases as a wall. It was very cool o.o and not too overpowered since it was defense based. Its the monsters own fault if he decides to charge anyways ;D

I would like an answer to this too. I had believed that the Exotic Weapon Proficiency feat gave you profiency only in one specific weapon from the exotic weapon list. If it gave you access to a group of weapons that would be rather nice.

Well, after reading through the thread carefully I would have to vote for C. But, I would like either Elven Chain or a Mythril Chain shirt to be the one exception to that rule.

Well, you could always have the rulebook printed out a Kinkos. They can print it out very fast, doublesided, punched and bound for around $30. (I only offer this advice because the .pdf is obviously offered for free and the rulebooks are no longer available unless you're lucky enough to find a store with a copy still in stock. The shop in my area sold all of their copies quickly)
