Hello folks,

It's that time of year again! Please can you cancel my PACG sub so that I can pick up the next base set locally.

Cheers!

The Iconic Miniature Sets #1 and #2 have never - as far as I can tell - appeared in my sidecart so right now the order is "Pending". Please could somebody make sure that there are no problems with the order and that it's good to go this month?

Per the recommendation on this thread from Sara Marie, I would like to cancel my subscription to the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game.

If you can create a new subscription for me starting with the Skull and Shackles Character Add-On deck, please do so, otherwise I will attempt to do this manually.

So I just finished the cards for my custom character (but still saved in PSD format so I can make changes!) and I'm pretty happy with how they turned out. I've used some Tiefling art from the interwebz and I have asked the artist if I can upload an image of the completed card here. In the mean time, here it is in text form. I've based this character's stats on Lem's, with some variation according to the 'rule of 24' and with a few abilities borrowed (and in some cases, toned down) from Seoni, Lini and Merisiel.

"A glib tongue will only get you so far; Sometimes you must embrace your heritage to stay alive and take what you need by force. You shroud yourself with fire and fury and to hell with everybody else."

Comments and feedback welcome :)

Edit: I've also created a basic Book Imp ally to go with this character (Recharge to add 1d6 to your next noncombat Intelligence or Wisdom check / Discard this card to explore your location) but again, it uses card art from the internet so I won't post the card itself unless I get permission from the artist.

2nd Edit: Huh, turns out the Imp artwork I used was actually from the Pathfinder Society Scenario 15 anyway lol

So I've just finished creating my custom Tiefling Bard character and since I wanted her to be reasonably balanced, I based her character card on Lem's with just a few small adjustments.

But when I started to compare the stats and abilities of the other characters, I noticed the 'rule' of 24 (ish). Assume the following:

D4 = 1 point
D6 = 2 points
D8 = 3 points
D10 = 4 points
D12 = 5 points

(FYI Lem has 14 points worth of stats, everyone else has 15)

Each point of skill bonus = 0.5 point*
Hand size of X = X points
Each proficiency is 1 point

Most of the characters end up with 24 +/- ~1 point in total, with Harsk and Sajan being the notable exceptions at 26.5 points and 21 points respectively. Of course this doesn't take into account the 'value' of a character's innate powers and as systems go, I'm sure what Paizo used is far more complex. But if you want to create a balanced custom character this seems like a good way to go about it.
