I was just recently able to grab the last ultimate equipment at a BAM. I'm still wanting to complete the set and get more people to play.
What I'm hearing is, "It would have been cool if the only good things a fighter has was given to other classes." Disciple of the Pike Cavalier, Molthuni Arsenal Champion, Swashbuckler, Armored Battlemage Magus, Mymidarch Magus, Steel Blood Bloodrager, Yojimbo Samurai, and Masked Maiden Vigilante all say hi. Afraid that ship sailed some time ago.
I think again with the exception of Return of the Runelords (and maybe Shattered Star) it works on the 'If/Then' principle. For example. Reign of Winter is independent of Curse of the Crimson Throne. But IF CotCT happened in your world it happened before. The exceptions would be, of course, RotRL, Shattered Star, Return of the Runelords and Jade Regent. The Sandpoint book says "the details on the town presented here capture things as they exist in the nebulous span of time between Rise of the Runelords and the adventures to follow. Ameiko
2e seems to assume all the APs happened and had happy endings (well except for Tyrants Grasp where happy is a matter of scale.) But I don't know if it is canon they happened in order.
Shame there was never a desert witch (Sandwich) archetype like the winter witch.That sounds awesome tbh ;) You should make one in the Homebrew forums :) Shower thoughts made me think of a fire witch, and a thunder witch. I'll see where that takes me for trying after work.
Like everything else... it depends. Most of my lawful evil villians would accept surrender, if there's profit in it. Depending on the villian's plan, a simple ransom and promise of parole would be enough to get them released with any non-unique gear. "No you can't take the hammer of thunderbolts, but sure take your +2 armor, not like it helped you." Surrendering to the orc hoards might not be the best idea. Or in my world, the halfling tribes... If I can tell a story from their surrender, I'll do it. I was one of the oddballs in PFS that preferred prisoners for my characters. Samiel, Mayim, Shankar, Ksenia... all preferred prisoners. Samiel would quote ancient wisdom* "Murder is bad for business." Which led to everyone at one table stopping and looking at me when he said he wanted the bad guys dead. "Setting a bad example is also bad for business. They are slandering the family name. So. They. All. Must. Die."** * Spoiler:
Yes, Gentleman John Marcone, Duke of Chicago. ** Spoiler: 4-14 My Enemy's Enemy. Samiel took the actions casting his family in a bad light (well worse light) very seriously. He did work hard on saving the actual Sczarni though.
Just found this thread. Here's my contribution. Adept on the border of human/orc lands, serves as a source of low level magic, and lore. Aud Greenskin CR 3

Do you keep your secret identity secret from the party as well?I view that as akin to stealing from your party, or PvP. It is a player's responsibility to create a PC that functions as a member of the party. This should be in flashing bold font in general and for rogues and vigilantes in particular.
So, for the people arguing that even though the text says "ranged, which includes both thrown and projectile weapons" the thrown star knife, knife, club etc. then chucking a starknife into a melee doesn't have a -4 to hit when thrown into melee?
Congratulations!
Can you point me to the list that excludes starknives as thrown weapons? I'd like to see what other weapons in the thrown catagory aren't thrown weapons. "ranged, which includes both thrown and projectile weapons" All thrown weapons are ranged weapons. Not all ranged weapons are thrown weapons. So I'll ask again, what thrown weapons are not ranged weapons. Can you cite the list?
Since, by the above quoted RAW, Ranged weapons include thrown weapons, and the Starknife does, in fact, fall into the aforementioned "thrown weapons" group... Can you point me to the list that excludes starknives as thrown weapons? I'd like to see what other weapons in the thrown catagory aren't thrown weapons.
I'm just wondering an Allip is basically a spirit of madness the tormented soul of someone drive to death by madness and using all sorts of abilities that have driving their victim made as a theme. So I'm wondering what happens if you successfully cast a spell like heal that cures insanity on them? As a GM? I'd applaud the idea, give it a will save, and if it fails, it is sane. Whether it goes on to final death or stays around I'd use rule of plot. It it makes the save, it doesn't take the damage. RAW, it does damage no matter the intent.
Funny about that. After Sunday's game my Warlock is looking at that (Half elf with weapon familiarity) We've a barbarian and cat up front, and having just hit second level, I'm taking the lethal grace vigilante talent and that might help me in melee.
Not sure why 15 pt buy is so disliked/feared. 15, 15, 13, 12, 10, 8 So a human wizard could do S 13, D 15, C 12 I 16 (14+2) W 8 Ch 10 if you want to avoid the 'weak nerdy wizard' Perfectly playable. Heck a Swashbuckler/Dex Magi/Vigilante/Rogue could be perfectly playable with S 13, D 16 (14+2) C 12 I 15, W 8 CH 10. I'm trying to find enough players out in the boonies I can teach. I'm going to stick to just the hardbacks and the 15 points.
So the Aldori Dueling Sword and the Elven Thornblade. Two of my favorite finesse weapon with art that looks so much alike. So which of the two do people prefer? The Aldori sword comes with a feat tree to make it more flexible, at the feat cost. It also gets an archetype and a prestige class if you want to go the full Aldori. The thornblade is a late arrival to the game, like a rapier and scimitar loved each other very much. No feats or archetypes, but it is more versatile out of the box (P/S damage, +2 to confirm crits) I also wonder which looks more like the Honshu Katana from United Cutlery?
Not sure how you would manage to get it on your spell list, but Bladed Dash (when cast as a swift action) would let you move and attack (as part of the casting as a Warpriest) and then full attack. Mystic Past Life for Samsaran is the only one I know of.
The Bestiary was part of the Crowdfunded Kingmaker conversion for P2, they did these extras for both P1 and and 5e, they’re not restarting a P1 line. I'm a dreamer, if there's a demand, someone will make a supply. I've dove into mine a bit, doesn't have the evil NPCs from the video game, unless I missed them. I do appreciate the effort to put "This can also be used as..." sections.
Just got this from my NSLFGS today. That and a Mandalorian/Grogu mini for the fiance for Christmas (don't tell her) Taking a brief glance, I appreciate the art and the 'here's an idea on how to use' the different NPCs for use outside of Kingmaker.
Just found this in the blog, I'm sorry to hear about your illness. Thank you for sharing your gaming history stories, thank you for your long-lasting fingerprints on the industry, and thank you for taking the leap that a small publishing company could take an orphaned gaming engine and use it to form the Path I've enjoyed for over 12 years.
The text reads The slayer selects a ranger combat style (such as archery or two-weapon combat) and gains a combat feat from the first feat list of that style. He can choose feats from his selected combat style, even if he does not have the normal prerequisites. At 6th level, he may select this talent again and add the 6th-level ranger combat feats from his chosen style to the list. At 10th level, he may select this talent again and add the 10th-level ranger combat feats from his chosen style to the list. So if you stay slayer, you have the flexibility to get the feats, or more talents. Level 1 WF
The Archaeologist should have Lingering Performance, and Fates Favored is often called a 'must have'. I'd suggest the Bloodrager, if he can, and the bard should have maxed UMD to handle wands/scrolls of healing the party can't get.
Shop slayer for all your full BAB needs! head to toe in Jet Black Armor? Four Mirror Armor! "This armor consists of four plates harnessed together with leather shoulder straps. Two round plates protect your front and back, while two smaller rectangular plates cover the sides of the torso. Four-mirror armor is worn over chainmail to provide added protection, and comes with a spiked helmet with a chainmail hood." You can even make it Mithral if you're wanting to eventually go dex. Battle Axe and Shield fighting? Our wide selection of Slayer Talents include the Ranger's Weapon and Shield style! Feats feats feats gallore! Fear build, we've got skill points for days! Even if you drop your int to 8, our base 6 sp/level means you can keep intimidate maxed and be useful out of combat! You want rage? Try our Half-orc/Blood Vengeance feat combo! Your boddy drops, you get rage lite! Or maybe you'd like to see our VMC Barbarian options. (Note, this post is best read in a use car salesman voice)
One option I thought of. Start the PCs with non casting classes, when magic in 'introduced' (in my mind by beating bad guys that have low magic, allow retraining into caster classes. For example... Player starts as rogue, wanting to play caster. After a few levels the party beats a magus/eldrich scoundrel/Vigilante (warlock/cabalist) and gets a spell book. You then have downtime where he studies the spellbook and retrains into a 'half caster' class like above. When you want to introduce 7th level spells, repeat with a full caster villian. Magic is still rare, but now they're the heroes bringing it back.
Higher levels? Phantom Steed if you can get it. (thinking the archer magus, warlock vigilante, or item.) 10th level casting gives you a mount that moves at 100' can walk/run on water, mud, etc. It's 'just' a dc 20 ride check to dismount/mount as a free action, at 12th it's airwalking. Short on skill points? "Just" 4k GP and you get an int boosting ioun stone that you can use to max out your ride skill. (assuming you're using the headband slot for something else.)
Thanks for healer's hands. Looks like that will be my 5th level feat. :)
D'oh missed that detail. Thanks
Already a patreon supporter, is there is an English Version of your novel?
Not a feat, but a nice trait for low level/low magic games. Devoted Healer Take 20 on a heal check and heal hd+1d4 for treat deadly wounds. Just took it on a character that is in a cleric free party.
I put a Kunai on all my characters now, never thought of the sawback modification. Any caster with simple weapon proficiency wears a cestus for the same reason.
Another thing I wish we'd more detail on. Book of instruments. Yes we have the generic instrument, but in Pathfinder the flute weighs as much as the lute. And the spoons weigh as much as a drum set. More details on bards, bardic music, etc.
I saw Cunning and Fast Learner mentioned already. I like Elven Spirit. Great way for half elves to get spell penetration+ or at will detect magic or (possibly) a +1 bonus to saves if you can ditch keen senses. Human Spirit OTOH sucks.
Emulating the OSR and True20, Pathfinding Light is now available out there for free. ;) Interesting. Thank you for sharing.
We still have free product to onboard new players in the form of Free RPG Day Adventures. I have a few other ideas I am working on. We give Society scenarios free to participating retailers. If any Society members find they don't have sufficient access to onboarding materials then I would like to hear that. Just wanted to toss in another two c-bills. Even though I've no interest in PF2, I do appreciate the free content on roll20 for PF2, so I can experiment and learn the website tools with live content. Add me to the 'wish for higher res maps' but since all my stuff is PF1, I'll keep buggering along.
