If you want to calculate the orbital rotation (how long it takes the planet to orbit it's sun), you're looking at some serious trig... If you want the planetary rotation, that you'll have to make up.

There is no 'simple real world formula' out there... I've been putting together things to come up with density, diameter, year, gravity, star spectral type, etc into excel... and I've learned more about astrophysics and remember more trigonometry than I probably ever wanted to know (well, before now, it IS fascinating as hell!).

There are some RPG supplements on DriveThruRPG/RPGNow that gives you some 'roll these dice to get this'.. from galazies down to moons... but they're overly complicated for RPG casual use (note, I said casual, if you like all the stats/numbers, they're definitely up for that!).

So.. yea, the donjon one works well enough for casual use/info, but you'll still have to make some things up.

Hmm...

Unless I am missing something, the insight bonus from the Mechanic's Bypass class feature does not seem to be added to the total skill modifier. No idea if the same happens with other classes, such as e.g. the Operative's Edge ability.

This is not the actual problem.

The thing is, the soldier is _proficient_ with light & heavy armors and X category of weapons... Which, if you click on the 'Qualified' button on equipment, the equipment in those proficiency categories show up... i.e. you can take said equipment and equip it and have the benefits that any given item has without the non-proficiency penalty.

The actual issue is that being proficient in the items is different than actually have the feat that grants these proficiencies, so since you don't have the actual feat, you don't 'qualify' for other feats that use them as pre-reqs.

This is a 'as the rules are written' problem that has existed since D&D 3.0... granted, most people, including myself, grant that if you're proficient with a category of an item (light armor for example) that it counts as having the feat for purposes of meeting the pre-reqs for other feats (like Heavy Armor reqs Light Armor, Power Armor reqs Heavy Armor).

I don't remember if I suggested to the head Data Monkey to allow proficiency in a category to count as meeting the pre-reqs for other things, but I will.

If you make a copy you will be missing the updates I make. :)

Dude... DUDE!!!!

You sir, rock! This is now on my bookmarks toolbar!

Thank you muchly! :)

Well crap. Thanks for the answer.

Anyone know by chance anywhere that has a checklist of Paizo products?

Searching each category one by one to make sure I'm not missing anything is a PITA... and that's being nice about it. -_-

There used to be a downloadable pdf catalog/checklist of all the paizo stuff... and I can't seem to locate it anywhere...

Is this still a thing, am I just having a bad time finding it, or has it been nuked in favor of the 'product schedule' link?

If it's still around, would someone link me to it please.

Melkiador - Yes, the minor/medium/major bit is covered, however the lesser/greater thing is not. How is that determined?

CampinCarl9127 - I figured that was the case, but I was hoping for some actual rules for it from Paizo (in some book I missed or here on the forums).

Thank you for the responses.

My search-fu on the forums fails me... so I come to ask for help in finding an official answer!

Question 1
What makes a spell (A/D/P) common or uncommon?

Question 2
In UE the random treasure tables have this whole lesser/greater minor/medium/major thing... how is that determined for non-UE tables that don't have that division (Earlier books and things like scrolls and potions)?

For example, I look at ACG and it has wondrous items, rings, staves with the lesser/greater minor/medium/major thing... but nothing for scrolls and potions (i.e. spells) that I saw...

So some, help/clarification/pointing to the answer please!

Thank you.
