I don't see Stamina listed on any of the statblocks for NPCs and monsters. Is Stamina exclusive to player characters?

Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but it looks like my Starfinder Adventure Path subscription started with the second installment of the AP. How can I tell if Dead Suns 1 is the first item in my subscription? That was my intent.


Does the emblem on the spine represent a faction? It resembles the Stewards symbol.

If I were to guess, I'd say it's the emblem for The Pact.

Whatever it is, I like it!


When an android undergoes Renewal, does the new soul have access to the memories of the previous occupant?

For game reasons, I would assume things like skills and class abilities wouldn't transfer. However for roleplaying purposes, the notion of an android form of "genetic memory" intrigues me.


...the character on page 167 of the Core Rulebook?


Since my players retrieved the bill of sale for the halfling slave Ardin in "The Hellfire Compact", they have been constantly looking for the lil' fella. I'm thinking about writing him into some sidebar stuff I'm working on. Before I do, I'd like to know if he will make an appearance in the AP? Don't want to have him recaptured or killed if he's the leader of the Bellflower Network or something.

In her First Act, "Iomedae first slew Nakorshor’mond, cutting the unconscious bodies of her circle from the beast’s stomachs."

I've searched everywhere I can think of, but haven't found a description or depiction of Nakorshor’mond.

Iomedae's Eleven Acts are depicted in the stained glass windows of a church in the AP I'm running, and I'd like to be able to describe the various scenes to the players.

Can anyone tell me more about Nakorshor’mond?

I'm trying to add some detail to an Alkenstar-based campaign, and I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the topography of the region.

According to "Wardens of the Reborn Forge",

Quote:
Alkenstar stands atop a massive cliff overlooking the Spellscar Desert, the mighty Ustradi River bisecting the settlement as it flows over the Alken Falls on its way north to Nex.

That's a "500-foot-high" drop.

Logically, that means the area west along the river and around the lake are all at least slightly uphill from Alkenstar. So how large is this elevated region?

Is the entire western end of the Mana Wastes 500 feet or more above the Spellscar Desert?

The "Inner Sea World Guide" says,

Quote:
All trade upriver from Nex must pass through Cloudreaver Keep.

The guide also says the Bridge of the Gods connects the keep to Alkenstar. However the "Wardens" module says construction on the Bridge was halted at Dongun Hold. So, if there's no bridge to the Keep, is there some sort of steep trail that climbs up 500 feet to reach Alkenstar? Or is airship travel the only practical means to move between the Keep and the city, short of taking a 6-hour long trip up the aptly named "Screw"?

What is the water-source for Lake Ustradi? The maps show no rivers flowing from the Shattered Range.

Were the Hellfallen Cliffs created by some natural phenomenon (erosion, tectonics, glaciation, etc.) or the result of Nex and Geb blasting the crap out of what is now the Spellscar Desert?

In an ancient thread I dug up trying to find answers, Joshua J. Frost says the Mana Wastes were his creation. Is he still around? I'd love to hear his insights about this.


I'm trying to flesh out the Mana Wastes and Alkenstar. I've run into some inconsistencies between "Guns of Alkenstar", the novella Ed Greenwood wrote, the "Inner Sea World Guide" map of the region, and the background information presented in the module "Wardens of the Reborn Forge".

What is Paizo's policy regarding canon precedence?


I'm not sure if it's a typo or if I simply don't understand how the rules work, but the description of Alkenstar in the Wardens of the Reborn Forge module lists Prosperous as one of its qualities, yet Impoverished is listed as a disadvantage. Is it possible for a city to be both?


Please cancel order #2890948


My subscription order was processed on October 15, and the charge has been on my credit card since then. But the order still shows as pending. Should my card have been charged before the item shipped? And is there any way to get a more precise estimate on expected shipping date?

Also, I cancelled order #2848187 Monday (10/21/13), but my credit card has not been refunded yet. When can I expect that money to be returned?


I just accidentally ordered a PDF, thinking it was a hardback. Sure, I should have read the description more closely, but I was in a rush, and assumed that if it's in the Scratch and Dent category, it was an item that could be scratched or dented!

Hopefully, I'll get my money back (I've contacted customer service), but I thought a word of warning to the rest of you might prevent others from making that mistake.

And Paizo, please avoid placing PDFs in Scratch and Dent!


I'm curious whether characters who run through the Mummy's Mask AP would, at it's conclusion, be suitable for the upcoming module, which starts with challenges for level 12 characers. Given that it's on the same continent, and only a few nations away from the Mana Wastes, it's certainly in the right neighborhood. But I don't want to take high-fantasy characters into the steampunk/gunsmoke milieu of Wardens of the Reborn Forge. I guess what I'm asking is, will Mummy's Mask be along the lines of the Brendan Frasier movies, with somewhat ordinary people up against extraordinary creatures, or is this module meant for characters with significant magical resources?

I'm just returning to GM-ing, and am new to Pathfinder and it's take on the 3.5 rules. So any advice would be much appreciated.
