This however, I would pre-order direct! :) I've been around since 2nd Edition & was here for Pathfinder Beta testing. Standpoint is easily on my top 5 list of towns/cities from across editions/campaign settings. I've even uprooted it and placed it in other settings over the years.

That said, I would actually love to see a hardback Absalom with;</p>
<p>1) A more detailed look at its government structure, including at least names for all of the high council seats. This isn't the decimverate people, what those roles are and who fills them should be common knowledge in arguably the most important city in the inner sea.</p>
<p>2) A map with a scale that fits. People who've lurked these forums long enough should remember at least one thread where James had to chime in on the disparity in scale between the latest map and the first given population density at the time.</p>
<p>3) A working setup for doing arena fights in the Iorium, give us something to at least mold to our liking if not outright use to go along with that tasty morsel from the inner sea combat faction.</p>
<p>4) I seem to recall somewhere long ago a mention about a perhaps mythic Gyr. I would love to see this happen with a full stat write-up.</p>
<p>5) Maybe an adventure playing with the political shadow war to slake the thirst of our cloak & dagger / rp happy groups.</p>
<p>6) For that matter why not do a line of stand alone modules each to show off a diffrent section of the city. You started this once long ago. Did those two modules not sell well?</p>
<p>7) speaking of hangman's noose could be a great way to start in on a kingdom building / downtime heavy campaign where the players must rebuild precipice quarter and become it's council.</p>
<p>8) Wet our tongues some more about the starstone. Outside of a mythic snipit that well has been so dry for such a long time it's bleeding dire dust mite army units by now.</p>
<p>9) Give us army units for Absalom for people who want to stage a new siege of Absalom.</p>
<p>10) Full actual city stats for that matter, latest one is missing a population breakdown btw. Also, given that more and more new city qualities keep piping up, might be nice to give Absalom a unique one of its own. </p>
<p>11) Bust out with your Occult Mysteries and give us one or two NPCs that DMs know for a fact are veiled masters.</p>
<p>12) Detailed floor plans for the Forae Logos, Azlanti Keep, Irorium, and Pathfinder Lodge.</p>
<p>13) For the mage school fans give us a write-up on the Arcanamirium. There are precious few fully fleshed out mage schools we can rip off out there. I would love to see it get its due.</p>
<p>14) more notes on local festivals, I feel like there would be a number of these within a city so large and so old.</p>
<p>15) more NPCs/places to flesh the districts out. I would expect to find an NPC of just about every class in Absalom.</p>
<p>I guess the big point is, Paizo has unleashed a whole lot of extra flavor / optional systems and classes over the years and Absalom seems the perfect place for them all to come to light. A new book embracing this would give tons of options for DMs/players and in no way would it prevent DMs from adding custom content. Even with a Ptolus sized book there would still be buildings left unfilled, entire streats even. This city is just too big to fill in all the cracks. So I say embrace the system and it's natural evolution and make Absalom a cornerstone piece showing off how all these things can come together and be part of a greater whole. No game should require all the extra rules and subsystems but every game should allow for them if the Dms/players wish to use them. Give us a city of passion, of political integue, of roaring stadiums, lost urban ruins, magical academies, adventuring guilds, clashing armies, and more, then let us choose which of those stories we want to tell/experience.</p>First off I aplogise if there are typos in this post, I'm working off my phone.

Never thought of perk chains but those could be neat, might be hard to pull off though. Racial perks might be cool too.
<p>Teamwork feats with perks would actually be very nice. Unless a class has them as a bonus feat I've never known anyone to take them outside of me and my brother for cooperative spellcasting. They're nice, but few of them are worth two or more people sacrificing precious feat slots, or that at least seems how everyone I've talked to about them seems to view the whole of that particular sub-system. Allowing the party to get some of them or even enhance a few with perks might make them more appealing however. </p>
<p>As for the loners, I have no problem with them getting a few more perks, because they really are missing out when opting not to use followers/cohorts. I've sort of come to see the leadership deal as an extra subsystem just like downtime or kingdom building. The fact that you've made it so that it can mesh well with those systems makes it even more awesome. If I'm doing a game with downtime but no kingdom building I just tell players don't take any kingdom perks. Its that simple. But with that in mind, not every PC is going to want to invest in kingdom building, or downtime, or even followers/cohorts. So how do you keep them feeling not left out while everyone else is getting cool stuff? Loner perks. I would however add in a bit of warning to DMs that this is meant to please a niche, not the whole. If most are all but one of your PCs are taking the loner perks, they might want to just not use the system. Unless they want to give their players an arbitrary power boost that is, but there are plenty of other ways to do that; extra stat points, extra feats, bonus gold/items, gestalt, and more.</p>
<p>More mass combat would be cool too. I've been a but busier tonight than I initially thought, so I'll think about some specific ideas like my earlier suggestion tomorrow.</p>Alexander Augunas wrote:This is a good idea. I can make that happen.

So the answer is: It's whatever a DM and their PCs are comfortable with. Going the as is route is the easy way. Giving them a unique language and many others to boot is the realistic way that can add more player immersion if that's what you're going for. Personally in my games we throw out common call it Taldane and be done with it. Makes linguistics and a few more spells much more useful/powerful though, so keep that in consideration. As for their language if any race outside of robots were to speak in math, I would definitely make it the Axiomites and their favored creations the Inevitables.</p>Perfect example of realism vs. gameism.

<p>First, our 7th level campaign deals with Dwarven resurgance and an attempt to reclaim / unite the sky citadels of golarion. As such, a lot of time will pass in game, especially since we're doing kingdom building rules. Eventually our initial party may pass away/retire and hand off the reigns to a second generation of player characters. Would be neat to see more focus on family members as cohorts / followers and the potential ability for them to become replacement PCs. My spouse and I for example are playing a middle age pair of Dwarves that lead a small clan (Runehammer) which specializes in clockworks and worship Brigh. We like the idea of making our children our next set of PCs when the time comes.</p>
<p>Second, might you adress the leadership feat by having it give 1-2 extra perks? I say this because some classes like the cleric with the leadership domain gained it as a bonus feat and are now weakened by its loss. If you adressed that in the first pdf I apologise, but I currently lack my copy before me, though rest assured I will check it to make sure tonight</p>Actually, I've got two already.

<p>Question 1: Are you doing this conversion just because you enjoy both WoW and pen/paper RPGs, or do you have a specific group/campaign you want to run it with?</p>
<p>Question 2: If a specific group/campaign when do you intend to start/ how much time to you have to devote to making custom content?</p>
<p>Question 3: How passionate are you about this? You've definitely put some good solid work into this effort so far, but do you intend to see it all the way through?</p>
<p>With that out of the way, lets look at a few things. I'll start with the races since that's the first part I skimmed through. All in all you've done a pretty solid job in my opinion. There are a few of the racials that I probably would've bumped the cost up by 1 or 2 points but that's not really a big deal considering all but one of the races so far are 12 point buy. How do you intend to deal with Worgen? Your default options being to simply use the Pathfinder Core Rules for lycanthropes or to make a race point buy for them as well. Do you intend to do other races such as the Pandaren or possibly even ones that aren't currently playable in the MMO, such as the popular Murloc? One of the big boons of a pen/paper RPG is having greater freedom in customizing characters and controlling their actions in ways you simply couldn't in a MMO. So this kind of thought processes needs to be taken into consideration when setting up a cast of playable races, especially considering that WoW has a fair number of potentially additional player races to choose from.</p>
<p>Switching gears lets look at classes, I fully agree with the choice to use the Adamant Entertainment's priest. As for the warlock, have you considered making that a term for certain casters that deal with fell and ignoring the class itself? Summoners make great demos for example, and in fact, Deep Magic from Kobold Press I do believe has a demon summoner archetype already for them. Taking this approach to warlocks frees up the need for creation/R&D and lets you focus on more demanding aspects, as well as gives players fewer "house rules" to have to learn/adapt to.</p>Hey there Epic, I'm a long term DM (since 2nd ed) and have been playing wow since Warcraft I, so needless to say, I'm always interested when someone wants to combine the two. ^_^ Having read your post and taken a tour through your site I have a few important questions to ask before I get too in-depth with any sort of review, as well as a couple of comments to already share.

<p>As for the second part, what's the reasoning for that? I feel like you or one of the other devs may have mentioned something about it before but I can't recall where. My default guess would be that giving set stats would in some ways limit the freedom/creativity of the authors. Although there's certainly plenty of ways to let someone do a cameo without having to flesh them out in solid ink so to speak. Point in case: I don't ever recall actually seeing stats for Terendelev (the mythic Silver Dragon in WoTR), outside of her ravener form in book 6. Yet her one scene and the gift of her spell/scales sets the entire thing into motion.</p>
<p>Or is it more of a not wanting the books to be cannon kind of thing since you don't want to do the rolling timeline like Forgotten Realms did? If so, I can certainly understand and appreciate that line of reasoning as well. Personally I'm on the other side of that fence, but I wont deny that it does have its setbacks/flaws, especially from a developer/publisher's point of view. Besides, nothing stops me from making my own time lines and saying this book or adventure path already happened in my games.</p>
<p>Also, to not fully hijack this thread, there's a running debate in my gaming circle on whether or not Riddleport is a parody of Seattle WA.

Besides Pathfinder has already produced a good number of strong NPCs that seem to be really popular. Hmmm that gives me an idea.
<p>Hey James if you're still reading this, any chance we might ever get to let our players actually meet Count Varian Jeggare? I ask because meeting Eando Kline went over extremely well during the Serpent's Skull AP with my group. Three out of four of my players actually knew who he was, kinda made it a big deal, like the good old days of getting the artifact key for Maure Castle from Mordenkainen.</p>Kalindlara wrote:Lurion Coravoss wrote: Kalindlara wrote: Hmmmmm...

<p>For one thing it synergizes with downtime rules very well, and I'm actually a big fan of the goods ruleset. For anouther, I see rooms like the Throneroom that never appeared in SBG, and in my books new rooms equals more variety, which translates into more unique / memorable locations.</p>
<p>That being said, I bleave that anouther big part of our enthusiasm for this idea comes from how well you guys did with the Ultimate Rulership, which is by far my favorite Ultimate plug-in. Chem is right, nothing in Rulership is actually needed but in my games and the games of two other Dms I know it's been very well received and incorperated with the same kind of enthusiasm that SBG was back in the days of 3.0/3.5. If Legendary Games could bring even half the badassness of Ultimate Rulership to an Ultimate Strongholds type product it would still be a cornerstone product in my games.</p>
<p>As for Rightious plug-ins it would've been a fourth on my list but I stuck to three. A big reason being that I'm well aware of many of the additions/changes to Mythic coming with your 3 books. I highly suspect/hope that they will drasticly alter the community's views on Mythic content in general, and I also hope that Paizo will acknowledge / utilize them as they have the Advanced Bestiary and Tome of Horrors products.</p>
<p>Which brings me to my next point, Mythic and Technolgical content for Ultimate Rulership and possibly an Ultimate Strongholds product. Both of these aspects are massively missing gaps with the realease of Mythic and Technology into the game. Point in case, my players want to turn Iron Gods into a kingdom building campaign after the last adventure. I have 0 idea how they would build/pay for a stronghold like the Technique League's base, and even less of a clue on how to reflect the Advanced technology in settlement/ kingdom stats. I know that's a lot to heap on Legendary Games, but again I come back to the whole massive faith in you guys to produce high quality content with an emphasis on final product over time tables.</p>
<p>Oh and one last thing Jason, as is WotR highly relies on the PCs going to Noticula's domain to deal with the mining operation that is the very reason why we are facing so many mythic demons (a key part of the plot) I don't see how they could've avoided using her and still stayed within the limit of 6 adventures, so I won't fault Paizo for reusing an idea from Savage Tide there. I think it's a better example/argument for breaking from the structured mold of six adventures to better cover a story thoroughly. It does however leave room for legendary to add in side adventures to get different allies though, so I guess I'm curious as to who you would've brought to the table then?/might we see this in a future Rightous plug-in?</p>Back again, and I still find myself in total agreement with Chemlok here (great examples btw Chem).

<p>To answer a couple of things:</p>
<p>I'm a guy Silver Griffin. ^_^</p>
<div class="messageboard-quotee"> Jason Nelson wrote:</div><blockquote>What did you feel made that particular book so good?</blockquote><p>On a number points I agree with Chemlak there Jason. But vagueness is no path to take here so let me crack open my copy and the Ultimate Campaign and compare.
<p>1) First things first construction materials. Ignoring rarer materials like Mithral, with the stronghold builder's guidebook (SBG) I can make a Defensive Wall made out of Iron to protect the open parts of my theoretical dwarven mountain fortress. Ultimate Campaign (UC) gives no support for this. My defensive walls are wooden or at double cost stone. On top of that, SBG also covers wall augmentations very well with over two dozen options. UM we get a single option for a guard post to make it walkable, that's it. To continue with this line of thought, in SBG we also get rules and tables for a variety doors and windows.</p>
<p>2) Lets look at some rooms for a sec. UM I can get a book repository that gives a +3 to a single knowledge check, and that's it. I can buy some furnishings for it and make it look a little cooler but that money sink has no bonus to it. SBG I have a choice between three grades of libraries that come with varying book lot spaces, with a side bar on book lots and how to create scaling ones for better bonuses on specific or general topics. The higher the bonus, the more it costs and the more lots it takes up. Simple but effective, and a system I dearly wish you guys at Paizo would adopt. You have so many different setups when it comes to pricing your book collections that grant circumstance bonuses to knowledge skills. It honestly makes me wana rip my shirt off and go Tarzan in the trees outside. Which sucks, because in a fantasy game with Wizards, Sages, and more you'd think book collections would actually make good nonmagical player loot and great additions to player strongholds. Heck books come up so much in this game there is a reoccurring thread that shows up in the Houserules/homebrew where people have posted hundreds of unique/interesting books they've created. But now I'm getting off topic. Its this kind of extra info and rulesets that turn SBG from a decent product into a great one. And considering Paizo did a Dragon Magazine with extra rooms and a huge example castle I'm inclined to think that some of you, at least at the time, agreed. I'd like to see this kind of scaling available for other rooms as well if possible. Better tiers of forges, alchemy labs, etc. Oh and more room types Is always awesome. I can come up with a list of some I'd like to see if you want.</p>
<p>3) Mobile strongholds (sequels in delight) I can list a number of times in pathfinder that mobile bases have shown up so far, such as cloud castles or how about homes that walk around on legs. SBG gives us the rules and costs. UM does not.</p>
<p>4) Magic item uses for, and interactions with rooms is another good point for SBG which I find very odd to be lacking in the UM considering even the kingdom building rules got magical street lamps and everflowing springs using decanters of endless water. On top of that they brought out a bunch of new magic items and room enchantments designed to augment strongholds. These are concepts you're already using in Paizo adventure paths but not giving us a way to recreate them for player homes. Point in case: Serpent's Skull #42 Sanctum of the Serpent God, pg 44-45 the Tower of Preservation room. The entire massive room has been enchanted with a levitate effect that can be used by anyone who makes a DC 25 spellcraft check. That's honestly an awesome idea and our group's battle in the room was kinda epic. So how do I recreate that effect? My players really wanted to use that idea for their own base in several rooms.</p>
<p>5) Portal creation/costs. Other than teleportation circles I can't find rules for creating permanent portals in pathfinder yet. Would love to see something like what they had in SBG.</p>
<p>I'm sure I could think of more things but I'm running out of time here. I'll check back later tonight or tomorrow.</p>Been a crazy weekend on my part, but glad to see this thread still going.

<p>And to answer your NEXT question for the Ultimate Plug-Ins, I have 3 proposals:</p>
<p>1. Ultimate Strongholds - Back in 3.0/3.5 the stronghold builders guide book was crazy popular with just about every DM/player I ever encountered. That being said, ultimate campaigns had a nice section dedicated to building but as with everything in that book, the systems were great, yet felt lacking in overall depth/coverage. As such, your ultimate plug-ins have been much appreciated by this DM.</p>
<p>2. Ultimate Factions - I'd like to see more tools to assist DMs/PCs in making their very own factions from thieves guilds, to bardic colleges, to magical academies, to fighting schools, to secret societies, and more. Inner sea combat/magic and occult mysteries have definitely hooked my group in on the faction/organization ruleset, and left us wanting more. So give us a robust tool set for making that happen, and maybe a few plug & play examples ready to throw right into the mix.</p>
<p>3. Ultimate Downtime - Same line of thought here. I'd like a more robust system for setting up and running shops / businesses.</p>
<p>Besides that, more material for each of the existing ultimate plug-ins, like more settlement attributes (no joke, before I was doing my morning check of the paizo forums I was stating up a small city for some home-brew and I still have the Ultimate Rulership pdf open sitting at the civic attributes XD ) </p>
<p>Also, that reminds me, Well Educated now has the exact same modifiers as the Brod-Minded attribute introduced in Numeria, Land of Fallen Stars pg 11, minus flavor text. Though I think Brod-Minded would be an attitude. Would you leave Well Educated alone or tweak it in light of that?</p>1. Ultimate Plug-Ins

<p>I've been doing 25 point buy, feat every odd level, ability point every even level, new retroactive skill point every four levels since pathfinder came out for my games. The skill points / extra ability points was something proposed back in beta. Personally, I've found that setup to work extremely well. Players actually tend to spread out ability points and pick up craft/knowledge/preform/profession skills, giving their characters much more depth.</p>
<p>On the monster side, it just means that I can on the fly add a few skills here and there, and advanced monsters get extra ability points at the same rate. Otherwise no change, and truth be told more than half the time I don't even bother to modify them at all. Its more of a "Oh this guy survived and had/has some good rp potential, lets tweak things a little a bring him back around at some point." which again has worked out very well.</p>
<p>Starting with item creation feats has always been a bit clunky, though Paizo's suggestion of extra gp worth of starting gear for mid to higher level characters with item creation feats has eased this greatly. Currently going with 1-2 items creation feats = 20% extra gear, 3+ = 50%, with the extra gear being limited to items that are made via that character's chosen item creation feats.</p>
<p>I do feel that rogue is still viable, but underpowered in comparison to investigator/slayer. So I really hope to see some good changes there.</p>
<p>All in all if everything goes really well, I'd like to see additional unchained books over the next few years. Is there any chance we might start seeing paizo blog previews within the next month or so?</p>Can't wait for this book, and I'm very curious to see what they did for the skills section.

Crafting an item with an enchant that didn’t fit inside those given parameters caused it to cost 1.5 times as much. However, upon searching thru the PRPG magic item creation section I have failed to find any trace of that rule set. So my question is this:</p>
<p>Since paizo seems to like making odd-ball/unique items (such as robes of armor, etc) has this rule been done away with? </p>
<p>I personally never liked it to begin with, given there were all kinds of other ways for prices of magic items to go up. It always just seemed like “yet another way” to eat more money and limit creativity (such as a character’s family signet ring being enchanted to grant a +4 to wisdom).</p>
<p>For my games (unless someone can point it out to me), I will be doing away with it, considering that new players/dms would have no way to even know of its existence in the first place. – Word of mouth doesn’t cut it for me!</p>So in 3.5 there was a crafting rule/concept that assigned each body slot a certain set of normal enchant parameters.
