Longtime Reader's page

That would be great if they did. After taking a few years off, my group is going to start playing again in September but not sure if it'll be 1st edition or 2nd edition yet. It would be nice to get as much info about 2nd edition as possible before to group decides.

First off, my apologies if this has been asked and answered already.

Do we know if paizo, in the weeks leading up to the release of the core rulebook, will be putting up any previews ie. classes, races, feats etc. that have changed from the playtest?

I've been checking my spam filter fairly often for just such an event. So far, nada.

As have I, sigh!!!!!!!!

In our group we say it takes double move, because it's an occupied square we consider it to be difficult terrain.

Just out of curiosity...when do the PDF's get sent?

I second that. I've been waiting over a month now.

Yeah I do tend to get a bit swamped.

It looks like yours hasn't gone out yet. You'll receive two emails -- one from me confirming your email request (and yes I have both the notes from you, thanks for checking up!) and then a second with a link to your free pdf (which may come an intern of another Genius).

It sometimes takes a bit to get through everything, and every year at least a few people's notices get mysteriously eaten by the internet, but we always get it sorted in the long run. :D

Thanks for the reply Owen, I appreciate it. Really looking forward to getting a hold of that spell point system.

I like the idea of having a number of gambling type games all in one print as well as a more in depth, flushed out method of using gambling as a skill.

I love adventures that have that "Ravenloft"esque feel to them. I'll be starting a campaign soon, so anything like that would be a great addition for me.

I always enjoy new prestige classes and archetypes. Variety is the spice of life they say.

If you have any left the wizard pdf would be nice for me.

I really thing your character should learn Avian, and at times (at random or certain trigger events) insist on only speaking that language.

To play on the transition to evil (although I don't fully understand why the bird-fetish is making you evil) I'd suggest you start killing foxes and other natural predators that attack birds. This should wind up the druid and ranger.

The bird fetish isn't making him evil, the item just has multiple effects. I do like the idea of killing predators though :)

My DM thought the idea of building a nest and trying to hatch and egg and when flying trying to poop on people's heads was hilarious.

Oh god, I so want to play your character now. The little hellion in me is giggling with a little bit of insanity thrown in.

I'm already having fun roleplaying this character and this just adds a whole new dynamic to the mix.

Demoniac prestige class is a sure fit for this character.

I'm not familiar with this prestige class, which book is it in?

Good suggestions so far, thanks a lot guys and keep 'em coming. I'm going to run the Peacock Spirit idea by my DM and see what he thinks. I really like the idea of summoning birds or even illusory bird swarms.

Just as an FYI my party also consists of a Shoanti Barbarian, a halfling Bard and a half-orc Druid and half-orc Ranger whom are half brothers.

I will definitely try and keep you guys up to date with the hi-jinx, however lately we haven't been playing often (once a month or so compared to every two weeks previously) due to one of our players not being available.

I am currently playing a 4th level CG gnome Illusionist, named Shekki Shebazz, who has an ADD personality and loves playing jokes on PC and NPC alike. Recently he came into possession of a cursed item (although he obviously doesn't know it's cursed). Said item makes him not want to draw attetion to the fact that he has it, would deny having it if someone asked about, nor would he want to share or give it to anybody and may even hurt anybody who tried to take it from him. The item is also making him have a fondess for birds, which he never really had before, and is caring less for people and is slowly transitioning him from CG through CN to CE. He has gone on a couple of bird watching walks and brought with him the party Druid. On these walks Shekki collects feathers and will make a necklace with them and the thought is to maybe eventually collect enough to either make some kind of "bird costume" or a magical cloak of fly made of feathers.

Any thoughts and suggestions on what else I can do with this opportunity would be appreciated. I had thought of the possibility of multiclassing into Druid, as he also has a white heavy war horse that has grown attached to him after our party saved him from a lair of goblins, but alas there is the alignment conflict. Are there any gods in Pathfinder that are linked to birds that he might start to get interested in? He currently follows Desna. What about new jokes he might play involving birds and/or the use of illusions.

Most replies will be welcome but I'm not looking for info on this cursed item, ie. what it is, the exact effects, etc, nor am I looking to find out how to get rid of it. PLEASE NO SPOILERS!!!!!! I am looking at this as a fun roleplaying opportunity. If you know what this item is or what it does please leave that info out of the thread.

Thanks in advance.

I apologize if there is any grammar/spelling mistakes as I wrote this at work using my iphone :P

I've been playing around with it in game, very nice app. Two things I'd like to see with the next update if possible:

1) ability for multiple summonings if possible, as mentioned previously,
2) ability to add "animal growth" or "magic fang" or other similar spells to the creatures after the fact.

Was playing through it and it keeps crashing whenever I try to access Owlbear under summon nature ally any level.

This looks like it will be very useful for a summoner I am planning on.

However, I don't have an iPhone, I have a Droid. Is there a version of this application available for the droid?

Yes it will. but i don't know when. a friend of mine is working on that right now. maybe a month.

Anyone who wants a redeem please leave the mail in theyr post, or i will not be able to send the code to you. ^^

I wouldn't be able to contribute much at all, as my creativity when it comes to this type of stuff is very limited, but I would definitely be interested to see this website come to fruition and see what others would be able to contribute.

From PRD: Improved Initiative (Combat)

Your quick reflexes allow you to react rapidly to danger.

Benefit: You get a +4 bonus on initiative checks.

It does not say that it cannot be taken multiple times and seeing as how it is not a typed bonus RAW it sounds possible.

Unfortunately not as per the PRD:

You can observe a creature at any distance. If the subject succeeds on a Will save, the spell fails. The difficulty of the save depends on how well your knowledge of the subject and what sort of physical connection (if any) you have to that creature. Furthermore, if the subject is on another plane, it gets a +5 bonus on its Will save.

Knowledge Will Save Modifier
None* +10
Secondhand (you have heard of the subject) +5
Firsthand (you have met the subject) +0
Familiar (you know the subject well) –5
Connention Will Save Modifier
Likeness or picture –2
Possession or garment –4
Body part, lock of hair, bit of nail, etc. –10
*You must have some sort of connection (see below) to a creature of which you have no knowledge.

There is an item called the Ring of the Ram, might this be what your thinking of? And it is in pathfinder as well, my current character actually has one.

I was just curious if there is any new info to update us on? I just recently got back into reading again and these would definitely be of interest to me.
