Why are obvious monsters not described in boxed text? For example:

DM: "Gigantic skeletal arms clasp immense doors of dark metal, but whether they are holding the doors closed or stand poised to open them is unclear."

Player: "I check the door for traps."

The DM pauses, scanning the paragraphs below.

DM: Oh wait, there are also two huge knights in tattered armor. They attack you!

Yeah, I know, it does not go quite like that, but it would be helpful to have boxed text that included what is in most cases the most important thing in the scene. I mean, in some cases we get a full description of a cavern, and the boxed text fails to mention there is an undead cleric leading sixteen zombies in a ritual!

I think the great room descriptions should be expanded to include great monster descriptions, so that the DM does not have to navigate through another page of text to fully lay out the scene. After running two APs, I really have to wonder why there is an aversion to describing monsters.

Please cancel my AP subscription. Thanks!

I got my three kids each their own copy of the Core Rulebook this past Christmas. My youngest son's book has been lightly used, but is completely out of the binding on one side. It is a 5th printing. Would it be possible to get a replacement?

Please cancel my AP subscription.

Thanks!

Who do I contact to inquire about having someone from Paizo be a special guest at a convention?

I had six broken miniatures in my Shattered Star case. I found the WizKids site for replacements. I filled out the form, and it shows as "Finalized". Can someone who has used this system answer a few questions?

Am I supposed to do anything but wait at this point? I didn't get an email or anything from them. Am I supposed to send them the damaged minis?

Thanks!

I'm a couple of sessions into HoH. I'm feeling like the 30-60 day spelling out the name timeframe for completing things is far too long. I just don't think like it will be a deadline at all for my group. I'm considering making it 1d2+1 days between letters for a 20-30 day timeframe (which still seems like a very long time). I may even go with 1d3 for 10-30 days.

Anyone have thoughts or experiences on this?

If for some crazy reason you were to fight a ghost on the Ethereal Plane, with you and the ghost both being on the Ethereal Plane, would the ghost lose the advantages of being incorporeal?

It doesn't look like is but wanted to check. 2338250 contains some holiday presents so I was hoping it would ship with my December subscription order. I placed it in my sidecart on December 2nd.

Thanks, Mike

I was looking through the event list for Winter Fantasy, and next to the PFS events, I saw some D&D Next events that are old adventures they are revising. Rules aside (this has nothing to do with rules or editions), check out the severe contrast between old style adventures and the latest in Pathfinder Society scenarios:

The Blakros Matrimony: The eldest daughter of the prominent Blakros family is set to wed an influential Hellknight, and the Pathfinder Society is invited to the festivities. Dressed for a wedding befitting royalty, a team of Pathfinders attend the ceremony on behalf of the Decemvirate, but will their presence ultimately strengthen the Society's relationship with the influential Blakroses, or will events at the wedding bring the already tenuous alliance to a breaking point?

The Steading of the Hill Giant Chief: Giants have been raiding the lands of men in large groups with giants of different sorts banding together. Destruction and death have been laid heavily upon the land and your band of adventurers has been gathered from local villages to deal with this problem. Glory, gold, and fame await the successful while a short trip to the headman’s block awaits those who fail. Your adventure against the giants begins now!

Which inspires you more?

I was looking ahead at my October subscription list and I saw it has a Bestiary Box on it. I picked this up at Gen Con. Can you check and make sure I don't get another copy?

I received the Rise of the Runelords Pawn Collection with my September subscription shipment, and Skull & Shackles Pawns are listed as part of my November shipment, so otherwise things look okay.

I ordered a bunch of old APs as part of the sale, along with some other sale stuff. It is showing as pending, but none of the items show the sale pricing. I just want to make sure that once I am charged I do get the sale pricing.

I also have another order #2156712 that is a $0 replacement item due to damage. Can it be moved to the #2174260 order so it will ship sooner than my September subscription?

Thanks!

I'm a player in a current RotRL campaign and we are basically cakewalking through part 5. We are at level 13 about halfway through. We typically have at least five, and sometimes as many as seven players, which I guess is what contributes to the lack of challenge.

What level does book 6 officially start at?

Any idea if this changes in the new hardcover?

Any suggestions on what sort of level adjustment to make if we average six players?

Please cancel my Pathfinder Battles subscription and associated preorders. I will be purchasing these instead from my FLGS, who so kindly hosts our PFS games.

Thanks, Mike

I'm new to using Hero Lab and I notice it doesn't seem to support the various convention boons. Does anyone have a good way to add them?

I have a character with Trained Eye (+2 Perception) and I'd like to include this on the Hero Lab sheet somehow.

With the RotR miniatures coming out this summer along with the anniversary edition, I'm looking to put together a collection of miniatures that will cover the entire AP. Has anyone done an inventory of what would be needed, and how many of each?

I don't have the original AP, otherwise I'd go through it myself, and I guess it could change with the new edition, but I'd like to get a collection started at least.

So how many of those awesome new stone giant minis am I going to need?

I'm relatively new to Pathfinder and I'm considering options for my first AP to run. One thing I'd rather not deal with is too much non-Core content. My concern is mainly around having to figure out how NPCs with levels from APG, UC, and UM work: it is not something I really want to deal with at this point.

So how much non-Core content can I expect to see in the Anniversary Edition?

I'm new to PFS, having just played two scenarios with my cleric. So now I have a few Prestige Points and a pouch full of gold. What are the best purchases to be thinking about?

Browsing the forums, it seems a Wand of CLW is highly recommended. Do I need to wait for that to show up in a scenario or or wands okay to purchase without them being on a scenario sheet? Reading page 19 of the PFS guide, wands are not listed as "Always Available Items" so I'm guessing I need to wait until it shows up in a scenario, but from the talk here I'm not sure.

Any other must-have items?

I'm new to Pathfinder, and I'm just wondering how long it takes to get to 5th level in terms of sessions (figuring four hours or so per session)?

How much do the three different advancement rates change this? Does the Beginner Box assume a particular advancement rate?
