Does anyone have any good stories on how they have used magic and binding circles in play? I'm looking for inspiration, I'm leveling up an occultist and just getting the cool abilities.

Does anyone know what the range of implements are? There are ones that have specific range like Energy Ray from the Evocation implement has a listed range of 30 ft. But for powers like Shadow Beast in the Illusion and the Necromantic Servant in Necromancy, there is no range given. So when I use them, does the summoned creature appear where I want it? 30ft? 100ft? Next to opponent? 
So, I'm playing a fun little wizard gnome. Using the mauler familiar archetype change my hawk into medium a flying mount at level 3 via the battle form. So my question is, in pathfinder society, can you purchase a magic saddle? The biggest reason I want it to be magical is that magical items scale to size of the user. I would like to not have to put the saddle on the hawk each time it changes to medium size. This is more of a flavor/convince desire. And it would be cool to imagine a normally tiny hawk with a tiny saddle on. I would love to have the master work exotic military saddle. In PFS rules, can I upgrade this to a magic saddle of some sort? I know the war saddle from the Knights of the Inner Sea would be ideal. At $5000, I was hopping for a cheaper option.
With Gemcutter, I just made a semi-precious +5 gem. I'm going to save it for a rainy day. But I wondering the value of it? And +5 stuff in general?
Can we get a PFO link on the left side of the web page like all the other Pathfinder versions have?
So I like all the content added of EE7.1. But the new feature of having to pay for training is killing me. We already have the time wait of xp and the Points system(arcane, adventuring, yada yada...) The points are the real xp of the game. "You must complete 1200 encounters before you can level____ ability." The coin training requirement is forced grinding. I only can play for a few short hours a week. If that time is spent gathering and not killing. I get no copper. If I use it to grind kills I now have to not only look for humanoids that have possible coin drop, I only get mayby 15 copper per two hours! I know, I know what your going to say. Get in a group and grind 40 encounters per hour. Or craft and sell stuff. Though I am lucky my company doesn't boot me for slow progression in this game because they are real life friends. But we are on sporadically. I tend to solo, explore, and gather as much as possible to put into company bank. I feel I'm more valuable as a gatherer. And why not grind crafts? First, only a few hours play remember? Second, stuff doesn't sell. Hey it's my sandbox too. Why is my way the wrong way? Why am I getting penalized for playing in my sandbox. Developers! If you keep this feature, please increase the coin drop rate for solo play. And put coins in monsters stomachs. That makes sense right? Monsters ate travelers! See that works!!!
"At 6th level, the naga aspirant can use her wild shape ability (gained at 4th level, as normal) to assume the form of a true naga. This effect functions in a similar manner to a shapechange spell with the following exception. The druid's true naga form is unique, representing her personal evolution. When taking naga form, the nagaji's body transforms into that of a large serpent, though she keeps her own head. The naga aspirant loses her limbs and her size increases by one category, granting her a +4 size bonus to Strength and Constitution, a –2 penalty to Dexterity, and a +2 enhancement bonus to her natural armor bonus. She gains a +10 enhancement bonus to land speed and a bite attack that deals 1d6 points of damage. She can cast verbal spells in this form, but cannot cast spells with other components without metamagic or feats such as Natural Spell. This ability otherwise works like and replaces wild shape." My question is does the Druid gain the true naga form in addition to normal wild shape forms. Or is it limited to true naga form only. I ask because the first sentence says,"...the naga aspirant can use her wild shape ability to assume the form..." Is that "can" that makes me think the meaning is to use normal wild shape to get a true naga form. What do rules lawyers say?
I'm planning a multi class character. Is there a trait that allows a second favored class bonus. I hate to give up these nifty bonuses in the second class.
How would you retrain the original spirit in the ACG Shaman? Example changing spirit bones to spirit fire? Would it be like retraining an archetype, so just class feature you gained so far(5 days), spirit? Or retraining three class features (15 days) spirit, spirit animal, or spirit magic? Or is it so ingrained with the class that it you have to retrain a class level(7 days)? Then, the question is if the shaman is level 5, do you retrain all 5 levels(35 days)?
Nagaji, wayang, kitsune. Does anyone know what the favored class bonuses are for these races for the new advanced class guide classes?
I wish the game never evolved in the weapon material direction. It has taken the specialness away from finding magical gear certain encounters. Back in the day, we would totally celebrate finding the smallest item. +1 longsowrd. Hooah!!! Potion of... Hells yeah! Now it's more like crap, sell it to buy adamantium. (Screw wolverine for making that popular.) Damage reduction was special in that everyone feared running a couple of werewolf. You had to think outside the box to get around the encounter. Now. Lycanthropes are a footnote. Just hand me the golf club bag and fish out the silver, boom over. Alas, pfs melee are stuck with this system of upgrade each golf club at a time. I guess I'll just roll a gnome witch next. You know, to keep up with the golf bag. And they're magic!
I'll start by saying I had an excellent GM. Now, if I ever sit down at a table and half are pregens. I'm going to switch gears and pull out a pregen of my own. To prep for this I will be familiar with whichever pregen I carry to give anyone else a fighting chance. At GenCon I played 1st Bone Keep tier 6-7 with six players. Three pregen lvl 7 and three normal lvl 6. The pregens said they played before. They played warhammer and D&D! NO Pathfinder experience ever. And it was evident once we got started. I guess it's our fault for believing them. Pregen fighter died very early. And left the table. Two of the normal pfs died further in. And paid the res price. At the end the pregens left without chronicle sheets. No harm/ no foul. GM's hands are tied. SO my question is. If/when I play my backup pregen instead of my normal pfs, and it dies in a scenario, what is the impact on my normal pfs character? What will the chronicle sheet say? I hate to play this way. Because I love the characters I build from the beginning. But that is exactly why. Because I love playing. And after a few deaths you can't play anymore because the PP or gold is gone! Rip the sheets up. It's just memory after that. I can totally accept a death by story, tactics, or dice rolls. It's part of the game. I just hate deaths that could of/should of had a better chance if everyone was honest. I didn't play 2nd Bone Keep.
If I get a boon on chronicle sheet (such as a unique familiar), and this character will never use it. Is it transferable to a different pfs character i have that is a familiar eligible class?
Can we use the PF Reference Document that you can buy for the iPad in iTunes Store? The one that you have buy each book in addition to the app. It's great reference at the table. It would be great if I this was accepted in society and Con games. So I wouldn't have lug my books to GenCon. I do have PDFs of some. But I own a lot of physical copy's without the equivalent PDFs. And it's gets heavy quick. The PF Reverence App covers 11 books. All paid for. Does anyone know?
I hear and see all the time, "That is an evil act. I'll have to put mark on your chronicle sheet that you did ______. You are in danger of changing alignment to evil." What about all the Good acts/spells/etc.? So if a neutral cleric casts an animate dead spell or uses the command undead channel feat. You start slipping towards evil? Does the fact that the cleric spams heals every module make him/her slip towards good? If so, my neutral characters better stop that. Healing spells are inherently good acts right? Just because a pathfinder makes a deal with an evil outsider, animates a corpse, or intimidates a "good" NPC with violence. That would make them evil. Even though said character just saved a poor village from a plague/monsters/corruption last week. He/she will be evil now. I think every module is created ,unintentionally , with the idea that "the end justifies the means." Why else hire adventurers (aka mercenaries) to do the job? Pathfinders are hired guns. Simple as that. Is that evil? And now boons let us play monsters now? Slippery slope to evil. What about neutral rangers and druids that believe in survival of the fittest? Will they get an evil mark because they believe that the poor village should be able to hold their own? Standing by and doing nothing to save it. So I say give me an evil mark. I will cast a CLW spell in a minute and be neutral again. |
