Draw boundary is a very strange spell. Among other things, it allows you to protect a circular area -- of a particular circumference. I can think of no other spell in Pathfinder or D&D that does the same thing. Everything is determined by radius/diameter. Incidentally, a circle of circumference 20 has a diameter of about 6 feet, so it's not even a 10x10 square when you first get it. Rounding down, you can only protect a single 5x5 square. This is a level 6 focus spell with the ability to stop a creature of a type of your choosing from entering a single 5x5 square or, admittedly, crossing a 20 ft line, but let's compare that to the other level 6 spells? Ice Tomb causes massive cold damage and progressively slows the target. Death Curse, well, inflicts a nasty curse that can lead to death. Restorative Moment fixes Doomed and Drained which are very nasty conditions so it's a nice restorative spell, and could well be clutch if a foe is putting out the doomed condition on folks. This is weaksauce, and more notably it breaks the normal way spells are done.
Desnini protects as many as she can with her spells, as Roderick and Korandil work to blow the heavy gas out of the door and disperse it. Though several are somewhat affected by the poison, it only affects them enough to cause some light-headedness and nasty migraines. Imrizade is the worst affected, but she comes to consciousness after a search of her bag finds a moderate healing potion to give her. Nigel comes into the room once the gas is sufficiently dispersed, and provides a restorative potion to his sister-in-law to help her with the effects of the poison. Her head clearing, she thanks the seven pathfinders for rescuing her.

Working by flashlight, Quonx quickly re-inserts the modules needed for ship's functioning. Moments later, the voice returns, in a monotone, sounding completely synthetic and without the nuances that M2's voice communicated before. "System ready.

Telos is overconfident, and his foot slips on a moss-covered rock as he begins to climb down. He falls 10 feet before Pau catches him in one hand, the halfling dangling from the monk's grip as he pants for breath. Meanwhile, Vuldruk sees that these two are safe, and climbs down past them to the bottom. Examining the silty water, it is only a few feet deep, but Vuldruk easily discovers a passageway hidden by the water level that could be crawled through. There are no signs of the treasures you were sent here to find, so if they are here, they must be through here.
The body of the succubus collapses onto the floor. "I..impossible..." she manages to gasp before expiring. As the succubus dies, the aura of dread and evil lingering over the catacombs seems to fade. You take stock of yourselves -- everyone is alive, wounded but alive. After a brief rest to heal as needed, you pick the unconscious cleric back up and ascend the stairs. As you are wearily making your way out of the abandoned shrine, Kasadei comes up with a squad of city guards, looking to see if you need aid. She is relieved to see you all alive. "When that creature dropped out of the sky, I ran for help. Glad to see you didn't end up needing it." Later that day, when you are all recuperating at Heidmarch manor, Kasadei arrives with a promissory note for the Bank of Abadar, for 3,000 gold sails as promised. An agent of the church of Sarenrae comes as well, offering an additional reward for the protection you have provided for that faith in the city. As Zadendi was once a cleric of Sarenrae herself, they have taken her into their custody and their inquisitors will be attempting to redeem her. (Despite the name, the Sarenite inquisition is much kinder and focused on redemption than one might expect.) The Sarenite provides a set of potions of cure serious wounds, and also offers your group a choice of a +1 flaming scimitar, a +1 blinding buckler, or an ioun stone of your choice from a rainbow of colors. Sheila is grateful and promises to make sure the leaders of the Society and your factions are aware of your valiant deeds.
"Sorry. SORRY? They gave their lives for you, you... you... GRRR!" Nat flexes her fists, the aspect of Bullish strength making her temper stronger, too. "You better send their families something that reflects what your life is worth to you. If they have families. Holy Ketephys, I barely even know their names... I'm not even sure 'Magus' was his name, it might have just been a title... And this was all a ploy, a strategem... You deserve to be in that monster's belly, not Grynt, not Magus. But you're alive, and they're not. So f%!&ing be it." Nat's nostrils flare, and she turns away from him and puts her back into rowing the boat.
Following up on this -- the Second Seekers (Luwazi Elsbo) icon for starfinder is also apparently broken. Both of these show up as a broken image icon in Chrome.
I will be running Skitter Shot for the PbP gameday on the Paizo forums. This will be in the first slot, August 13th, 2018-September 30, 2018. All Hands on Deck! Don't worry, the skittermanders are here to help! When a routine salvage operation deep in the Vast goes awry, the skittermanders Dakoyo, Gazigaz, Nako, and Quonx must board a luxurious cruise liner controlled by a rogue artificial intelligence to save their vesk boss and a group of hapless passengers. All manner of obstacles block their path to success, from malfunctioning massage tables to cybernetic undead to vermin from another plane, but if the skittermanders can work together (something skittermanders do best), they are sure to be hailed as tiny, furry heroes! That is, of course, if the passing pirate starship doesn't blast them all out of space first... In addition to this exciting adventure, this book includes four pregenerated characters that are ready to play, with full stat blocks and backstories. The inside back cover also holds a wealth of information that will help you roleplay the six-armed creatures, such as their species' thoughts on food, religion, and how to relate to other cultures, as well as examples of skittermander slang. Pregenerated characters can be downloaded here or BBCode profile statblocks here. Expectations: Since this is a time-limited slot, I will try to make sure to post at least 1-2 times per day, more when there's combat happening, and expect players to post at least 1 time per weekday and 1 time on weekends. During Combat or any time a delay is happening, I will bot if it has been 24 hours since the last post.
Mononucleosis with a hangover.
The one you encounter at a level too low to cast that spell. The one you encounter when you've already cast the one dispel magic you prepared that day to stop the dominated barbarian from killing you. The one you encounter with a high caster level and you can't seem to roll high enough on your caster level check. Etc.
Karu sidesteps, activating his wrist sheath to cause a dagger to spring into his offhand, and uses the distraction of Agirran attacking to attack the dog. He slams the dagger into the back of its head, dropping it instantly and (he hopes) painlessly, then turns and sends a dagger flying to sink into the other dog's throat.
In google chrome, at least, for me that box doesn't work. The button does nothing.
"You attacked us! We are just here to retrieve what was stolen! Hmm... unless it was stolen from you originally, is that your position? Oh confound it, why can't people just use their words instead of their fists?" Johann sighs, "Մի սպանեք նրանց, եթե կարողանաք օգնել," to the earth elemental. Terran: "Do not kill them if you can help it."
"The dead can be induced to speak sometimes. Not the most convenient method though." Johann moves around the tiger statue to lob a bomb at the attackers. This one explodes into a sticky mess of elastic fibers, however, rather than fire, and threatens to glue them to the ground!
The Earth elemental attacks Red.
"Ah, beloved Andoran. Such a delight to be home again," muses the gnome as he walks into the lodge. He has goggles pushed up onto his forehead, a haversack bulging with alchemical items and tools of many sorts, and a large dog with a riding saddle tagging along behind him. "Good morning!" he greets the orc and human brightly, although he takes a second glance at the human's hellknight plate. "Johann Erlenmyer, itinerant inventor and Lance Corporal Eagle Knight, at your service!"
The rules don't explicitly say that the human-like form of the kitsune has to look like their fox-hybrid form. Although you would need to maintain the same physical sex, you could say that the human-like form is very masculine-looking, despite still being technically female in a physical sense.
All spellcasters have the possibility of running out of spells. Alchemists run out of extracts and bombs, and while they can make more mutagens when they need to, it takes an hour until much higher level. Clerics run out of spells, domain abilities, and channels. Even cavaliers and brawlers have abilities with a limited number of uses per day, although it can be certainly said that a cavalier never runs out of charge, a brawler never runs out of fist, and a fighter never runs out of stab/slash/bludgeon. There are two ways to deal with this. One is preparation: take item crafting feats (if allowed) and create scrolls and wands, so that even when you run out of spells you still have backup items. The other is versatility: make sure you have skills that can be used (knowledge skills are wizards' go-to, but you can put ranks in anything you like) when you're out of spells, carry a crossbow with the necessary stats to use it, or use a longspear (if you're not a wizard) with a 10 or 12 strength and move into flanks, use aid another, etc. Finally, after around 3rd or 4th level, you no longer realistically have to worry about running out of spells and class abilities with that many encounters per day. Edit: Almost forgot about a witch. Witches never run out of Hex (although they can run out hexes available to use on a specific individual).
If stamina keys off charisma for the undead race, getting a 7 point buy ought to make it balanced. 5 or 6 maybe if they get a bonus to charisma (but that'd be overpowered, so they shouldn't.)
Minimal effort != no effort.
They've been saying for quite a while that conversion would be necessary.
