I want to know since in the last year or more we’ve had one of any significance. I’ve got 8 months worth of splatbooks that I’ve been wanting to use in play and not heard word one. Last time I posted in the AR thread it as ‘soon’. I’ve been waiting SPECIALLY for Potions & Poisons since release, given this character is a Alchemist, vishkanya and poisoner.

Wondering if I should just shut down my subscriptions till the new version is released.

Are we going to get anymore, since it’s been 8 months since the splat books have gotten an update.

Or will we be waiting till the new edition comes out?

Still no update to Additional Resources though.

Yup.. still can’t use books I got in November..would have loved to use the Poitions & Poisons book on my Poisoner/Alchemist Vish this year

Finally getting around to rebuilding my Lore Warden. Basically all my Lore Warden levels are going Avenger Vigilante, and my one level of Crusader Cleric of Calistria is changing to Warpriest of Calistria. Switching to focus more on Dex, was somewhat balanced Dex/Str but with the Vigilante talent Lethal Grace going Dex has much better benefits. Most of my equipment is even remaining the same, only equipment changes are I'm changing from a Mithril Breastplate to a Mithril Kikko and selling back some unused equipment. After all changes I might have one lower bonus on my trip attempts than before, which is compensated by new equipment purchases. (I had over 80k gold saved up, this is a level 14 character.)

Overall, like others have said, Avenger Vigilante is a good replacement for those Lore Warden levels. (I actually have MORE skill points than I did before, but less HP.)

I rebuilt my Lore Warden/Rogue into a Poisoner Rogue/Alchemist..not as useful when poison isn’t useful but fun all the same

Snakebite Striker archetype for brawler does cool stuff for feinting + sneak attack and is compatible with 2WF.

It also lets you feint and move.

The 2WF can be done with a single weapon.

No requirement for dex or int.

Might be the best option, I lose (at least) one feat any way I go.

Might have to try a few builds to see how it works

Did it for UC Rogue.. and though it came out better.. I HATED the 'does this work to my build' or 'THIS works maybe?'

Now I'm trying to find a two weapon fighting build with expertise for the 'big fights' that I can use.

Swashbuckler noticeably does NOT work. I might be the only person I know who uses CE as a rogue/fighter type on a regular basis but there are times when you NEED the AC in light armor.

But since I play Akim like once a blue moon (on 1/2 xp) because I want to be the suave know it all rogue who is good with two blades and able to find traps and locks like no other..

I have time to find something that works for me.

Nowadays there are several ways to make 2WF work. Some might fit your flavor.

Investigators' Studied Combat applies to all attacks, not just your main hand, and scales quite nicely. It's also a class that flavor-wise could be a Lore Warden who likes potions more than combat maneuvers, but is otherwise a smart warrior.

Rangers and Slayers do strength-based 2WF well, using their combat style to circumvent the high-dexterity feat prerequisites. The pregen Slayer is a good example of how straightforward yet effective such a build can be. I think it might also be interesting to build as a Dandy ranger.

Archeologist Bards can also boost their multi-weapon arsenal with Luck or with Arcane Strike.

(Urban) Bloodrager (Arcane) needs a bit more help to get going as a 2WF but it's doable, and is pretty fierce at harassing casters in melee.

Thing is it’s trcky to be a tw feinting character, my role is set up guy. Slayer doesn’t almost as well. I gain skill points, but lose a bunch of class skills and have to toss a skill focus to keeper Greater/TW Feint. With studied target im better by a point but I’m not the know it all locksmith I liked playing. I had planned to go 2:1 Rogue\ Lore Warden but now I got nothing to do the same with Slayer

Having only one character who is effected by things and not so much, truthfully it works well for Akim the Crafty either way. Grandfathered, I get to keep the Combat expertise feat I have used in the past.. cause when you're a squishy fighter/rogue you need on occasion to go.. 'Nope. I don't want you to hit me Mr. +16 to hit on attack' (which I've seen at 7th level.. nothing like doing -4 to hit ME AND a dodge bonus to hit.. in those omens where you've bitten more than you can chew...)

My issue is this.. we replace our 2nd level feat for a 'quasi-feat' (with a promise to get it at 6th level, which Akim will see @ 12th level as he's going 1/2 and 1/2 ) and the next level gets some 'so so' options.. the best of which for him is 'Know your enemy'.

Which requires a standard action
Which lasts 1/2 his fighter levels..

I an playing a feat intensive two weapon wielding feint master.. I'd most likely go straight rogue rather than continue on past 3rd level of Lore Warden as it is.. the 'vibe' doesn't feel the same as the old one.. my 2 cents.

"Rogue? Please, we are 'Clever Folk', agile men an women who used our wits to do things of daring do and mischief. There are no mere 'rogues' in the society." Akin declares as he fiddled with his well trimmed beard

Like Duke Nukem forever and other long waits..

"When it's done..."

They (the folks @ paizo) are always uber busy. :D

I've hated PvP since UO. Always have always will. Given a chance you will always run into a tool that enjoys denying others their enjoyment of the game.

I am watching the Pathfinder MMO and will be curious to see what comes of it.
