Hi there, playing with STAP I've found that some of my players asked me about the effect that lightning bolts have on water.
Ok, DMG has its own rules with aquatic combat, but it doesn't say anything about this issue.

I mean, if water is electric conductor material, and the target/s of the spell are swimming or are diving...
They suggested me that if they fail their saving throws, then they'll take empowered damage, and if the'll save the checks, they take normal damage...

I know it's a house rule, but I'd like to know about your suggestions

Thanks in advance

Hi there,
I've ever liked Greyhawk background and I'm interested in knowing about the percentage of the subhuman races living in Sasserine.
I understand that there should be Olman, Suel and mixed human races.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Hi there, I'm reading the first installment of this STAP, and I understand that it's designed for four 1st-lvl characters that are supposed to level up till 3rd level.
BUT!!
Counting the number of monsters and the PX awards....
Each of the 4 characters would win 6700pxs!!! (4th level)
Each of the characters would finish with:
562 px (1st lvl) in part II
862 px (1st lvl) in part III
1950 px (2nd lvl) in part IV
6700 px (4th lvl) in part V!!!
Is that correct?!?!

PD I have an excel worksheet that calculates the pxs...

Hi there again...
My party has just finished "Strike on Shatterhorn" and one of the characters has been magic jarred and plane shifted to Carceri. Embril has spoken with Wee Jas and offered the soul of the character with the Smoking eye template as a gift in order to obtain Adimarchus' location...blabla...
Ok, As I read, players can use True Resurrection to bring the soul and the body to life. They do not need anything else.
But, Wee Jas, come'on. Is He/She allowing to loose a soul he/she has? Isn't there any chance to Wee Jas to keep the player's soul prisoner?
As I read, Wee Jas, angrily mooded, would send a minion to revenge this theft. BUt... could Wee Jas turn the soul of the character into an undead in order to prevent true resurrection?
That would pop up a lot of options to play more adventures.

Hi there, my group finally get to the last module!!
The guy who has the somking eye template has been magic-jarred and now I offered to him the choice between Jenya Urikas or NIdrama.
He wants to play Jenya and my problem is... how is Jenya like?
What level? What domains? What possessions? And a long etcetera...
I wonder if there is a description of Jenya Urikas NPC at the thime of Asylum Module.
THanks in advance

Hi there again...

There is something I don't like at all about the resolution after the attack to the temple.It's the reaction from the city guards, from the city government.

They are going to look out what happened inside the temple.
I know that the government doesn't want to be revealed any important information. And that they will decide to pay Ike Iverson for all. He didn't follow her headmistress orders, and he paid some assasins to kill the party.

Is it right to say that the party is going to be excluded from this investigation?

Because... What was the motive to contract some assassins? Why did Ike want to kill them?

I'd like to know the answer that the government is going to give to my players.

THanks in advance DMs!!!

Hi there,

I'm running "Secrets of the Soul Pillars" with my players and I've reached a very delicated point.

This point is that they've just attacked the Temple of Wee Jas, the most important faith in Cauldron city, and they've just killed everything inside. Everything but Ike Iverson. They've managed to capture him alive!!

They are going to interrogate him and try to get the maximum amount of information from him. It's easy for me to play his role as a character that doesn't matter to die for an unknown cause. He's not going to tell them anything at all, or maybe he could try to guide them to a trap in the soul pillars place. But I think that such an important character as Ike deserves more role-playing.

Furthermore, I know that the players are going to leave him alive (there's an apostol of peace in the group!), probably incarcerating him in the temple of St.Cuthbert...

I'd like to hear any suggestion about the "what to do" with Ike.

Come on DMs...

Hi there...
Alakast is presented like the ultimate and definitive weapon sent by the celestial plane to finish with a Glabrezu demon named Nabthatoron.
Ok, I'm playing it and I've realized that my players are going to find a real bad weapon to fight a demon with.
Alakast is a +1 bane vs. evil outsiders quarterstaff, so it deals an extra 2d6 of damage and it's a +3 weapon against Nabthatoron... BUT NABTHATORON HAS DR 10/good... and Alakast is not good!!!!
I think, that Alakast is presented like a really good weapon, like a present from the gods to a hero, like a weapon needed to kill Nabthotoron.
I really think that this weapon should be Holy instead bane vs evil outsiders...
WHAT DO YOU THINK???

Hi there,
I'm playing Demonskar Legacy by now, and my players are very interested in finding out who owns to the City Council. Well, I can figure out that there are the Church representatives, the Lord Mayor, some nobles representatives and some merchants representatives. But who are they?
They need names and other things. I fully read "Foundation of Flame" where you can find some members in the City Council, but they only are a few lefting in the city. I think all the "BAD PEOPLE IN COUNCIL" is missing.
Is there any one who can helm with this?
Thanks in Advance.

Hi there,

Righ now, I'm playing "the Demonskar Legacy" installment and there's a romour (true rumour) that Cauldron is preparing a invassion to Redgorge to anihilate a conspiracy against the Cauldron govern.

In the next installment ("The test of the smoking eye") there is no clue about this invasion, well everything is developed in another plane, ok. BUT in "Secrets of the Soul pillars" where my party of heroes return to Cauldron... nobody knows about this fact...

DOES ANYBODY KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT????

I want to know what I'm going to explain to my players when they reach "secrets of the soul pillars"...

Thanks in advance

Hi there,
I've been mastering for the last 4 months, and my people are really involved in the adventure path.
But I'm having a big problem. I'd thank any help!

There are 6 heroes in my party, so when all of them are 7th lvl we have a party of 10th!! (6x7/4=10.5) Then when I have to calculate the Xp awards from the EL encounters, they are too few!!! I tried to scale the encounters with the "Scaling the adventure" but sometimes is too dangerous to increase a creature because they are only 7th lvl characters.
I've also tried to increase the number of creatures in each encounter instead of increasing their CR... But I cannot adjust the EL for them.

PLEASE, SOME HELP!!!

Hi everyone,
I bought 111 dungeon magazine issue last July. Paizo made me pay for it. I don't have it yet... Is there anyone who can tell me what I can do to get my issue.
I'm playing Cauldron campaign throughout the different magazines and I can't go on because I'm missing 111 issue.
I'll thank any assistance on this problem.
Sincerely
Nanmaniac
