Cycle Zero, Version One, Revision 3*
Of Pathfinder "Party Sheet" by "Ridiculum Games"**

Preface:
The first few revisions of this sheet were created on a whim in a few hours after being asked by the GM of one of my Pathfinder groups (A co-founder of Ridiculum Games) if I could create a "Party Sheet" like the one he had for 3.5, but for Pathfinder...and nicer looking. I said "sure, I'll go home and fire up photoshop!", ba-bam, a few hours later he was looking at the first revision.

Yadda-yadda-yadda, we're at revision three, and three of these are already printed off and floating around various Pathfinder groups with great success. I'm already taking in feedback for potential changes, and wondering if I can fix the glitch that skews some of my text from the PSD to the PDF.

Alas, feedback is most welcomed, and as always Pathfinder is Paizo LLC, this is just free gaming material and I want to give credit where credit is due, as without Paizo I'd still be playing D&D 3.5 and cursing WotC. Open Gaming is rockin', so go play some Pathfinder!

Wait a minute:

What the heck is this thing? You just rambled for like 3 paragraphs about nothing I care about. What are you posting?

I ask myself, and digress. The "Party Sheet" is GM material kept behind the screen for quick reference of his players' characters and probably the group NPC(s). It has on it all the skills he can roll in secret for the players, AC, Hit Points, Languages known by the group (there exists a version with a larger languages known box, but I cut it so I could give to give credit to Paizo and to rail against any enterprising internet leech who would attempt to profit from this, as has happened to me in the past), Saves, Ability Scores, CMB, CMD, Speed, Alignment, BAB, Race, Initiative and class/level. As well as room for notes scrawled in a tiny hand and any special qualities the player/npc might have.

Long winded yapping, and gratuitous use of Parentheses aside, I have an array of download links with more mirrors coming.

Feedback is greatly appreciated. Share and Share alike, though I'd prefer not to see this modified by others, I haven't really made any steps to prevent it (like protecting the PDF, which would have harmed Acrobat compatibility which I didn't want). I am also considering dropping the PF logo, despite giving Paizo credit I would like to avoid incurring their wrath. If someone has any specific idea on whether or not it would be advisable to do so I would appreciate that. Particularly if someone from Paizo happens across this.

*-0.1.3, yeah this is really the third revision, though it's the first public release.
**-Game Enthusiast Group creating ridiculous -Blam!- for ridiculous games, also we have skills.

The Diamond Lake Ga'ars, named after the ugliest, most inedible fish ever, native to Diamond Lake.

They have a baseball team, too. Smenk is the financier, and a Kobold is the General Manager.

This is an example of things that got out of control.

Is there any Errata on this Issue? On Page 90 the new Feat "Ranged Threat" lists the Prerequisites: Combat Reflexes, Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, Bast Attack Bonus +6.

In the table on the accompanying page (91) it lists A completely different set of Prerequisites!

Dex 13, Dodge, Mobility, Point Blank Shot, Shot on the Run, Tumble 12 Ranks, base attack bonus +6!

Which is it? Am I missing some errata somewhere? Or am I the first to notice this? In the Feat Index (Last Publish October 2007) By Crystal Keep it lists the former, those being the ones listed in the textual description of the feat, not those on the table on Page 91, but I found no notes in that particular index pertaining to this anomaly.

Thoughts? Or is there an errata someone can point me to? (Note I sought out scale-mail in #351 and didn't find anything there either, I'll keep looking in the mean time I would appreciate at least the opinion of the masses which is the acceptable source of Pre-Reqs).

Yea, giving you her head in a box was a stroke of genius on my part.

Doing it AFTER implementing the Sanity rules, priceless.

Okoral: Waldo, I have a gift for you. But I want Brock to open it.

Brock: *Opens Box*

Waldo: What's in the box, Brock?

Brock: *Look of horror*

Waldo: What's in the damn box, Brock!?

Okoral: *Laughing*

He got his sweet revenge, dropping him to below zero with a 'nade and proceeding to do massive Coup De Grace damage with Brock.

"Stay away from my box."
~Waldo, Rogue/Fighter/Demolitionist

Insanity rules are cruel, but fun, and lobbing off one of the PC's love interests' heads and putting it in a box is really morbid. Having it drive him crazy and making him become fixated on it and having him carry it around is funny --in a really morbid way.

BTW, Revenge is a dish best served at the end of a baseball bat and glaive.

Don't forget the line of the century:

"You hit me...in the face...with a baseball bat!"

*Happens after the party finds out about the Seeker's involvement in the Whispering Cairn*

Kobold Rogue: Hey, didn't that ring we bribed Kullen with have the same symbol?

Kullen: *Busts into Spinning Giant after having gotten the hell beat out of him by Kellek and crew*
YOU!

Kobold Rogue: ....uh-oh.

*Kobold Rogue now has raging Man-imal on him*

Kobold Rogue: I refuse to pay for that window on account of: They broke it with my body!

You know yer in trouble when...You've got a Kobold getting chewed up by one of the dogs in the Feral Dog.

I have noticed that there is a lot of elf hate out there in the gamer community. I am curious as to why. Is it because of game balance issues, or because of a resentment toward certain elves in fiction?

I'm actually in the realm of elf-haters, though it's not really hate but a lack of respect. The whole realm of FRPG and Fantasy fiction is overrun with them, I feel elves have been done to death and are 'too easy' to play. Play them if you want to, it's cool with me I'm not against playing with someone who plays elves, but do something different with it, like show me the one elf born with deformaties and psychological issues who is a chain-smoker and an alcohalic!

I personally prefer something with a physical mality, halflings are short and weak. Gnomes are a#+%!+@s. Dwarves are ugly and unsocialable. Orcs are uncomely and likewise unsociable. Huamans are the middle ground and can go either way. Elves are cliche, pretty boys/girls, sociable and decent combatants --it's 'too easy' in my eyes. Heck even warforged --while I personally am 'against' eberron warforged are a pretty basic idea of a golem that's socially involved-- don't have souls and have that nagging flaw of...not having souls (The 'no souls thing' is sort of an inside joke, I apologize for those of you confused by my repeated mention of it).

In short. Elves are fine if you do something new with them. Elves can go to hell if you play the cliche elf. And I don't mind admitting I've played racist characters...Self-proclaimed "elf-hating" characters.

*Sniffles* I think I'ma cry...

We do stupid things, b...Often.

*Averts eyes and walks off*
