Oracles does not prepare spells. that is what is written "Unlike a cleric, an oracle need not prepare her spells in advance." this is a specific rule for this class, that overrides the general rule "divine spellcaster prepare their spells". combine this with the rule for IwSA, it makes IwSA incompatible with spells cast by an oracle.
the scenarios in the earlier seasons were indeed written assuming a party of four players. around season 5 or so they switched to assuming a table of six players (and including an option for scaling down if there's only four players). Fortunately for you, this means that you can pick up any scenario, at it will be suitable for your group size :)
(I’m on my phone, so excuse the formatting of my post) Altaica, first off, congrats on taking steps to socialize with people. Stepping outside of you circle of comfort is scary, even more so when you’re unfamiliar with the social ruleset that you are stepping into. The rules of the game is somewhat explicitly written. However, the rules we use in the Organized Play community is not just paizo’s published works, but also FAQs and erratas publishes on this website. Even clarifications written in the forums counts as RAW. It can be an overwhelming amount of rules to get to know. Fortunately you are not expected to know them all straight away. And when you’re in doubt, you have done the right thing, which is ask in the forum. Other people have already answered your question, by guiding you to a campaign clarification regarding bonus spell slots. This clarification is RAW as far as Organized Play is concerned. What you are intending to do is therefore not allowed in Organized Play. The rules of the Organized Play Community is less explicit. Some social rules are clearly written, others not. One of the clear rules is that we, in Organized Play, are not allowed to discriminate against players, so you will never get told you cannot play as long as you follow the rules. (You can get put on a probation period of no play, but let’s not delve further into that right now) Another unwritten rule is that we demand everyone to be courteous in their dealings with each other. It might be because the written word is hard to get the right intent behind, it it may be your autism that causes you to come across in a way you didn’t intend. What you have written is read by us NTwit as very rude. We get the intend that you don’t want to follow the rules that our community is build upon, because they’re “not fun”. The rules are there to make the campaign fair across the globe. If what you want is to be able to decide on the rules you play with as a group, what you’re looking for is a “home game”. These kinds of games are not a part of Organized Play, and as such are not determined by our rules. You do not have to play home games with friends, or even at home. It is quite possible to find a froup online, perhaps in the pathfinder Facebook group? I hope this helps, if you still are unclear on anything, let me know, and when I see it, I will try to answer it to the best of my ability.

thanks, i'll try not to be a burden ;) Player Name/Alias: Christina
Day Job Roll can't remember the rest of the details without the sheet, but i'll get it to you later.
I have English as a second language, and though I am fairly competent, there were some words in the Playtest that I did not know. The best example of this is "Anathema" when describing the deities on 288-289. This was the first time i had to google what a word meant, the other times I've just skipped over them. It if worth considering what kind of words are used in the text, so the meaning is clear for everyone.
i just began running this for a group of 5 players, where 2 have never played RPGs before, and 1 member of the group is a serious min/maxer, who helped the others make their characters, so they have a crazy OP group dynamic (essentially by level 3 they all consistently have fast healing 5). For tomb af Akhentepi i added the advanced template to all of the enemies, the only exception being the summoned swarm. Do you guys have suggestions for what i can do once we get into the other books? because i seriously doubt that the advanced template will be enough by itself. |
