Wat do? Am I the only one annoyed by the lack of options available for creating one for table top games? I have no artistic talent whatsoever and I dislike using other people's art as my portrait (there are always little details that are overlooked/added and it just feels "wrong" using someone else's imagination for what I imagine my character looking like). I've used Hero Machine for forever, since it's free and I won't spend money on what is essentially a doodle, but its a bit limited and the 3.o version doesn't run very well on my computer. My Google-fu has failed to come up with anything better than Hero Machine for this purpose. Any other suggestions?

Paizo y u no have one for table top?


AWOL. I received order # 2176850 which was shipped 3 days *after* the missing Order # 2173669. I've repeatedly tried to contact the last post office on the tracking list to no avail (they tell me I should contact Paizo so I'm getting the run around). I understand Gen Con threw a monkey wrench in the shipping schedule but this makes me really worried about my subscriptions since the problem seems to be with the post office and not just a delay in shipping.

Help?


I have a character in the Skull and Shackles AP. He's a 1st level cleric of Gozreh (god of the storm and sky/goddess of the wave and surf). For second level I wanted to multiclass as a aquatic druid with the Aquatic terrain domain. Hero lab says that the Aquatic Domain is an invalid selection. In Ultimate Magic it stipulates that a druid who worships a deity can take terrain or animal domains so long as it doesn't conflict with that deity's "portfolio" but I'd figure the aquatic domain would be well within the portfolio of the goddess of waves and surf.

Is there a rule I am missing or is hero lab shafting me for no reason?


I ordered Skull and Shackles AP #4 in hardcopy form awhile ago (order #2153741) while I got the print copy in the mail, it never showed up as one of my free downloads. I didn't even realize it until just now. I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be there since S&S #3 and #5 both show up and both of those shipped at the same time and in the same order.

I know you folks are swamped at the moment but some help would be great.


I'm an old fart when it comes to gaming and not at all n00bish when it comes to huge amounts of cheesy character builds in my gaming group. Problem is that, in order to create an interest in Pathfinder for my group (who are also old farts and don't generally like new game systems), I have to make sure that the cheese doesn't get out of hand so the adventure remains challenging and, thus, interesting. It's a vicious cycle; I run a new game to create interest in it so hopefully I can play, my group brings in cheesy character builds that totally ruin the experience and challenge, they lose interest, no one wants to play anymore. Rinse/repeat.

I need to nip this in the bud. I have no problem using my veto power as a GM but I don't know what to look for in terms of cheese. So my question is what are some of the cheesier/broken character builds that might threaten game balance to look out for so I can avoid this problem?
