As you're collecting items for FAQing, How long does it take for a Wizard to understand a spell allowing him to scribe it into his book? Adding Spells to a Wizard's Spellbook wrote: No matter what the spell's source, the wizard must first decipher the magical writing (see Arcane Magical Writings). Next, he must spend 1 hour studying the spell. At the end of the hour, he must make a Spellcraft check (DC 15 + spell's level). Or Spellcraft wrote: Learning a spell from a spellbook takes 1 hour per level of the spell (0-level spells take 30 minutes).

As a note for HeroLab users, there are two ways to get those rules updates. the first would be create it as a PFS character but that has a lot of other changes you may not want for non society play, the other is right near the end of the list of options in the Configure Hero window there's a section for Optional Rules and "Use PFS's ACG playtest changes" is one of the options.

One player had his character die in the last session, my character (an inquisitor of Sarenrae) along with another players character (a cleric of Zon-kuthon) come across his replacement character tied to a spit by a couple of hill giants who are close by having a siesta. I suggest we save him as we're split off from the rest of our group and a third person would give us safety in numbers and help us regroup. The cleric looks at the two giants, "Do we really need to save him?" Minor chuckles emanate from those at the table, followed by the fourth player (whose character wasn't there) turning to the first and asking, "So do you have another character concept?" A couple of minutes later once we finished laughing battle was joined, my inquisitor dropped one giant is two rounds due to some lucky dice rolls, but even with the help of the other two we almost lost to the second giant. In fact it did manage to drop the new character into negatives, soliciting more comments, and laughter, about new character concepts.

As racial adjustments (and presumably templates) are applied after generating ability scores it would cost 3 points to raise that stat to 13; then once you apply the -6 from race and young he'll have the 7 he wants. See the second line in Generating Ability Scores in the PRD section for Ability scores.

A bit late to the party here, but regards the octogenarian librarian and falling. Assuming he or she is human at 80+ years of age they'll definitely be in the Venerable age bracket which would give them a -6 to Con. So unless they where a very health individual earlier in life I'd suspect they've only got one or two hit points per level by this point... My money is on the blacksmith :) (Or both dying)

Great looking book, love the maps, especially the "In World" centre spread, and the caravan routes. I'm curious how dangerous some of those are, especially the Sklarkar route that looks like it heads straight into the Hold of Belkzen. (OK, looking at the map again it's just that one I'd have some trepidation following :) )

Another example is Steve Jackson Games and their Kickstarter for Ogre. They where always going to release it, but by using Kickstarter they've massively increased the awesomeness in the final product, as well as boosting the print run. And because of the success of Ogre (and it being one of their stretch goals) they'll be doing similar for Car Wars next year.

And it appears I did not recall correctly, so my adjusted list is as follows (adjustments italicized) 4 Fighters

From what I recall, in the 5 adventure paths I've been in... 4 Fighters
In the current Kingmaker game, the first Rogue in the group died and the player brought in a second, so it could be seen as 4 Rogues total. The game just before Pathfinder had a core of a Fighter, a Cleric, and a Wizard/Rogue/Arcane Trickster. IIRC there was also a Druid and an other Wizard that briefly showed up.

Excellent art as always :) I think you've mostly captured her look. She does unfortunately end up looking a bit orcish in that image, I always saw her with a slimmer, not so round face (I'll say my bad for not describing her face too much, if at all) :) Not that I'm asking for it to be touched up or anything. I really appreciate the time you've put into this, thank you.

This is the same request I made in the previous thread but it never got fulfilled... as it's been a good 10 months, I don't feel too bad requesting again... Anywho, my request is for my Summoner in a Council of Thieves campaign. Natalia Luccini:
Tiefling Summoner 5'7" An attractive female in her early to mid twenties. Light reddish brown skin, amethyst eyes. Two slim horns protrude from her forehead tapering to dull points as they follow the curve of her head back. Blueish black hair, tied back in a pony tail, reaching to her shoulder blades with azure streaks running back from her horns. She has a slim but curvaceous figure. A slender tail reaches down to about mid calf. Her attire is well made and sturdy, more practical than fashionable, but still a touch stylish. Leather boots come most of the way up her calves the tops turned down forming a cuff. Close fitting trousers, possibly a softer more supple leather. On her top half she wears a tunic secured at the waist by a sash, the front and back of the tunic hang to about knee height, where as the sides only come down to the hips. Possibly wearing a bodice over that, and either a short sleeved bolero or zouve jacket rounding it off. A satchel hangs at one hip the strap running from the opposite shoulder, and a small pouch rests at her other hip secured to the sash.
And of course her Eidolon
Alteá: 5’9” A couple of inches taller than Talia, and a bit more muscular, but overall the same proportions. Her horns are thicker at the base, and taper to points, they are also more prominent, not following the curve of her head as closely. Her skin has the likeness of red marble, a featureless white marble mask covers her face. A pair of black feathered wings adorn her back, the feathers edged with a golden hue, they do not look big enough to allow for flight. Wears either a bustier or halter top, with bare midriff, trousers and boots, all in black and red leather. (somewhat akin to Rayne in BloodRayne)

Hmm, not quite on topic, but definitely relating to character death. We where playing through Rise of the Runelords and my character had the worst time of it.
Burnt Offerings
Spoiler:
In the assault on Thistletop During a nasty fight against the goblins, the party lead called for a retreat. Being the swashbuckler he attempted to tumble past a pair of goblins at the rear to set up flanking and clear the way. Failing the roll by one or two he provoked, and wore a couple of attacks from them and was dropped to negatives. Unfortunately the party didn't think to have anyone move to cover their downed companion so the next turn saw a coup de grace. His corpse was recovered and taken to some druids in the area, and he was reincarnated as an Elf. Skinsaw Murders
Hook Mountain Massacre
Spoiler:
We'd just dealt with a pack of (what we assumed where) wild dogs, when an ogre... ...stepped out of the foliage and cleft him in twain, with a crit. from a large great-axe. Yet more Druids! And he now finds himself back as human, kind of, but female! We found out later she was actually a fetchling, but it was before there was anything more than juts a one or two line description of that race, so mostly human, with lowlight, and cold resistance IIRC. Now going by the name Lynn we continue the adventures... Fortress of the Stone Giants
Spoiler: but by this point the cleric had Breath of Life so was back on her feat quite quickly.
wyverns Sins of the Saviors
Spires of Xin-Shalast
From what I recall there where only a couple of other deaths in the campaign (other than the TPK which I might regale you of later), one player lost a character or two in ways we couldn't retrieve the body, and once we had it Breath of Life came in handy in the latter half of the campaign.

Sacred Bond perhaps?

It's my understanding that the feat Augment Summoning won't work with the class ability to summon an Eidolon, it's not a spell; but if you use the spell Summon Eidolon to bring it into existence it will get the boosted stats from the feat.

Dark_Mistress wrote: You know I doubt it will but it would be neat if the crown of the world map matched up with the top of the Inner Sea Map, which in turn matched up with the Dragon Empire map to more or less make one big map. Just saying. That would certainly be nifty. I'm guessing (tho hoping I'm wrong!) it will be a nice large copy of the Crown of the World map from the AP, and a nice large copy of the map presented in the Dragon Empire Gazetteer. If that's the case, they're slightly different styles from each other, but I'm reasonably sure the northern extent of the Wall of Heaven is shown on the Crown map, linking those two together.Now if only I knew enough to try mapping those three maps to a globe :)

Ultimate Magic wrote: You can gain Extra Evolution multiple times, but only once for every five summoner levels you possess. The wording is a bit ambiguous, at what levels can it be taken?

Thanks for checking. Now that you mention the time, I do recall checking on the site over the weekend and noticing the order pending, but definitely no email arrived about it till the shipping notice. As I wasn't intending to cancel any part of the order it's all good, just though it was worth noting in case there was some problem at you end. So I'll put it down to the 'internets ate my email', and leave it at that.
Pathfinder Lost Omens, Rulebook Subscriber
Good to see the Beginner Box shipping to me, but I'm a bit concerned that I never got a "Hi we'll be shipping this to you in the next few weeks." email. I've double checked my ISP's and email client's spam traps but no impending order email to be seen. Just wondering is this a special case due to the Beginner Box? Did the internets eat my email? or perhaps a glitch at your end (in which case you might want to look into it) As I'm here is there any ETA on the other two products in the order?

Well, looks like I shot myself in the foot on this order then. :) Next year I'll have to try and remember to not add to the August order, I think most other shipment I wouldn't care how soon or late they ship, but the the August bundle is like Christmas, but 5 months early. :)
Pathfinder Lost Omens, Rulebook Subscriber
Thank you both, it looks like I'll be ordering 13 to push the order up over 100 then :) I was a bit surprised to see how the order got split up, but I'm guessing the system knows best. I had assumed that Ultimate Combat would get it's own box, and the other Player Companion and Campaign Setting books would get a second one.

Currently I've got 10 packs of card sleeves in my shopping cart, I am considering getting them added to my next subscription shipment (the late July shipment.) Is it possible to get an estimation (or exact value) of how much that would cost? Would there be a significant change if I dropped that to 6 packs? Or will I need to ask in a couple of weeks once the late July subscription order has been 'placed'?

Now, can a Beast Master Ranger take this multiple times (once for each Companion)?
