Definitely, I would then purchase, I am skipping these currently through lack of stuff useful to me.
Will you be putting up any remaining print versions of this book (and the Starfinder one, too) for sale? The local store here finally decided to no longer participate in Free RPG Day, thus eliminating the last actual thing they were any good for. There was a comment above saying they can sell them late July. They have never in previous years listed them, as far as I recall, in the store until that date they can sell them.
Agreed, leaving out revenge seems like a miss, incomplete. Shame.
Ok, I've searched this thread, the faq's and the subscription notices. I must be missing it but I have tried. Please would someone confirm if the fans like myself who've been here since the start and spend loads still get to keep their grandfathered advantage discount? Because, if not, then it's time for me to head off.Sorry for the lack of clarity. If you had the grandfathered Paizo Advantage discount, you should still have it. If you do not, please email Customer Service. That's great, thank you.

Hi, Due to your intransigent attitude towards shipping miniatures separately and, frankly, the email which implied I was asking something morally questionable when I asked for my PF Battles figures to be shipped separately, I need you to cancel Order 3316318. I can't take the chance that you'll ship this with paper goods and end up costing me what will be well in excess of £20 on a product which costs less than that. I am disappointed as a customer, especially one who spends as much as I do, that Paizo's previous impeccable customer service has deteriorated in such a manner. I'm taking this action due to no response to my last email. Lewis.
Please could we get confirmation of the situation for subscribers to the PFB range? Ta. Well I must be missing something because I can't see it on that post and it certainly doesn't answer why when I order them (because I'm guessing from the above that they are not part of the subscription - there should be a subscription offered!) that set 1 comes up at $18.99 and set 2 at $20.99. Huh?
Hi, I get all the Reaper PF minis and was getting frustrated trying to remember which fig was in which AP (basically I keep finding out after teh NPC has appeared!). Figured a quick spreadsheet would be useful and I couldn't find something like this when I looked, so I've knocked one together which I'll try to update now and then. I hope it helps. Feel free to comment if you find anything wrong or have suggestions. Cheers, Lewy.
This sums up my position perfectly, I've never been so annoyed at Paizo.What's the problem?The problem, though, is that not everyone monitors the website to see what's coming next. I think a lot of people, myself included, have spent 3 years getting accustomed to receiving books for grown-ups through the subscriptions. If I hadn't randomly checked in to Paizo's website, I would've never expected to receive a boxed game for children - automatically - through my subscription. I think there's a lot of other people in the same boat. I'm trying to and if it works then I'll move on. Mind you, I admit I should have edited out the "childrens" bit from the original post. Apologies for that, I have no problem from an age POV, merely the beginner product for a subscriber system, which seems at odds.

Unfortunately there is no way to stop our system from combining orders that would be sent out at the same time. However, you can get the order size you want by placing your first order then after you receive the shipping confirmation for that order, placing your next order as normal or by taking advantage of the "save for later" function in your shopping cart. This will insure that your orders are not combined and allow you more control over the size of your order and the customs fees incurred. Seems a little crazy when there is the option to choose to combine orders! Thanks for the response.
Hi, I had a recent order, some PF minis combined, into 1 package. I'd prefer you didn't do this as I end up with customs charges. I purposely select the minis per order to stay under the customs charge limit because the postage is significantly less than the rip-off customs handling charges the Royal Mail add. Is there any way of stopping you guys combining orders? Ta, Lewis.
The really annoying thing is all the great beholder and mind flayer figures I have (or Bathalian for the Reaper ones - but they look the same ;-) ). That's a shame. And before you say use them for your own adventures, I pretty much follow the AP's now days due to time. Time is not something I have tons of going spare between a job, kids and a couple of other hobbies.
I've run the first 2 by, as Gorbacz suggests, convertuing on the fly but it is getting harder as the combatants get more complex. This thread here has the conversions for the 3rd in the AP so I'm going to be trying that out. There's also a comment above suggesting using the fast progression for xp and I support that. My group are just getting to 7th at the end of the second book using that progression table. There's 5 of them so that's just about right.
I tried to order the print version just now and got told it had been removed as it was unavailable. Is this a web page glitch or is this not available for order?Not a glitch. Our inventory updates throughout the day as we ship stuff, and our distributor also makes changes in theirs, but checking every product in both databases all the time wouldn't be a good idea. So we recheck both inventories when people try to check out with a product, and if it has gone out of stock between the last time we checked and this time, you get that message. Cool, ta. Just waiting for the restock!
Hmm, I had this in my cart for the next time I had spare cash. I hope there will be a reprint? Your not dreaming. I tried to order the print version just now and got told it had been removed as it was unavailable. Is this a web page glitch or is this not available for order?
Sorry... removed my post as it was not really conveying what I was thinking.I -THINK- the idea was that one would no longer have those negative lvls AND THEN get your new lvl? More for my game, having got sat on by the golem (love the scenario by the way, he'd certainly Bob after!) then he'd be 6th level. Half way to 7th. It places him just behind the others but not so far that he can't catch that back up over time. I also record the xp amount at the point and a restoration spell will get Bob back to his original xp total once cast. As for gold, if there's expensive material components, sure they'll need those. Always fleece the players! This certainly works in my game. Having said that I've always played level drain as permanent (boy players fear undead!), though I have incorporated into this the 3rd Ed change to give a save first. In 1st and 2nd ed they didn't even get that. Again a restoration would work the same.
Hi, If anyone is looking for a Core Rulebook still in the UK, some seem to have crept in. One of my players went into Eclectic Games in Reading to order a copy and was surprised to see they had a "pile of them". They had previously sold out and his impression was the owner was surprised to have got any. Lewis.
Yay, what a good response. There are people out there who know how to roleplay it!
The important question is: when this one is going to be available in print form? I'm hanging on waiting for this before buying the 1-11 compendium to save postage. Great, thanks for the response. Will order both then! As the postage is to the UK the difference is significant.
Low level for wizards is like visiting the dentist. You know you have to do it but no one enjoys it. I'd suggest you ignore comments like this. Playing a low level wizard is great fun and a good challenge. Start by thinking of a personality and outlook. That may help in specialisation. Someone above suggested transmutation, good call. Illusion can also be really fun. Drop, maybe enchantment and Necromancy, but base it on whether you're character is outgoing, quiet, charismatic (or thinks he/she is!) etc. Max your INT to get the extra spell. In 3.5 I'd have said next stat for Con but with the PF increase to D6 hp's, put it on Dex. It then helps ranged touch spells, which are very effective and touch AC's are low. Also helps your AC. Don't make the mistake of thinking you just need offensive spells. Sure take something like Colour Spray, but also take the opportunity to pick non/less offensive spells at each level too, both defensive and general use. Grease is a good one for supporting fighters, if the enemy can't stand up the fighters love it! Feather fall can also keep you alive. Sure your options can appear limited, but look at the spell descriptions and think how you might use them in a game RPing situation, especially if they support your character idea. Let the fighters do the fighting and prove your worth in the support of them and the roleplaying. Have fun with it, it really is rewarding if done right. Lewis.
and why should I have to spend 2-4 rounds before i can do anything to contribute? name any other class that is required to sit on thier A** for half the fight before they can participate? This leads to two problems. The character is ineffectual for most of the fight, and then the character isn't much use if theres a second fight later on. So to use your perspective the wizard is a one trick pony. Totally agree! Wizards are anything but a one trick pony. If you're playing one to fight in melee, methinks you chose the wrong class. You prepare your defences up front and/or use your intelligence to use spells in more constructive ways. Yes you may have to spend a round or two getting extra things prepared, that's because you don't know what's coming, but you're overall effect, if done right, is huge. That's the fun of it! You do have to be patient playing wizards, but you also have to play them with the intelligence they need. It's just more challenging to get right and therefore more fun! Making all classes equal all the time doesn't promote the game, it promotes only melee. That's a shame and a direction I dislike about 4th Ed., hence I don't play it. That's not to say it's wrong, just that this move to everything being equal removes a huge element of challenge, fun and teamwork from the game. These are to me the fun things.
