Sigh! What if I only require that you occasionally let me randomly take lunches out of the fridge and let me sleep in the supply closet???? You got to admit Paizo...that's a pretty good counter offer. I mean, you throw out those lunches on Friday anyway....and who ever really goes into the supply closet?
Hi! At GenCon 2013, I became pretty enamored with Pathfinder. So much so that I'm 99.997% sure that Pathfinder will replace my groups fantasy RPG experience. But as my players get solid RP experience in story driven game systems (IE - L5R, Shadowrun, WOD) I as a the god of the gaming table am finding it difficult to look at fantasy RPGs as anything other than the linear dungeon grinds that they end up becoming. I'm want to use Pathfinder to bring that experience to my group, but with whole bevy of books that are out their for Pathfinder I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed on where to start developing my store. I was hoping that my fellow gods of the gaming table might be able to dispense with some friendly ideas and advice on where might be some good places to begin a character driven - story driven campaign. Also, what's a good way to expose my players to the setting and mythos of the Pathfinder world?

Hey folks, I'm hitting level 5 soon with a high strength reach cleric and trying to figure out what I should prioritize feat/gear-wise next level and plan ahead a little. The game is almost all Core, the DM might let me grab Holy Vindicator later, or I'll likely just stay all cleric. My pc is a human level 4 Cleric of Gorum Strength/Destruction domains with a MW longspear and greatsword and other things for backup. My feats are improved initiative/combat reflexes/power attack. Traits are Veteran of Battle and the trait that gives you acrobatics as a class skill and +1 to it. We are currently in the last part of Skinsaw in Sandpoint stumbling across the you-know-whats in you-know-who's house. The stats are Str - 19
Don't ask about the stats, some crazy straight 1 for 1 20 point-buy. The group consists of human Cleric 4 (me), halfling rogue/going sorc, half-elf ranger, human paladin.
Also I have high skill in acrobatics to be mobile but found out I shouldn't be tumbling because of medium armor movement hindrance, so I need to get to work on a mithral breastplate. Does that mean I'd have to sell the one I have and save up/pay 5300gp for a +1 mithral one later since I can't poof it and make it mithral? As for a weapon, I was thinking about getting the Holy ability put on my main weapon at level 9 and then see where things are then to add another bane or something later. Sorry for the WOT, any gear/feat/training thoughts? I am considering going Holy Vindicator, but would lose out on CL especially with no magical knack, though serious casting wasnt my main thought (maybe it should've been). Should I stay straight cleric and just keep goin? I am trying to put together some kinda plan like I should've from the beginning heh, thanks!.
Hey folks, I am a new player and could use some help deciding what kind of gear to buy. We are just starting Skinsaw Murders, I have about 2700gp to spend or save. Atm I have no scrolls, am planning on getting a few restoration and other emergency/situational scrolls. I currently am using a mw cold iron longspear with a plain greatsword as backup as a cleric of Gorum. Strength/Destruction domains, have combat reflexes/improved initiative/power attack as feats. I have +1 breastplate and ring of protection +1. I was thinking about getting a +1 greatsword for Enlarge use, getting acid/electric enchant later and then working on defenses again, or maybe ioun stone with +1 initiative and cloak of resistance +1 and maybe save the rest? I'm thinking about investing in a Shield wand for the arcane to hit me with perhaps? Maybe I should keep working on defense first or get the +1 greatsword, or maybe a couple lvl 1 pearls of power to cover buff use? Too many options, I'm a noob any ideas help thanks!

Ok, I've read tons of d&d/pathfinder stuff over the years, but my actual playtime is virtually indistinguishable from 0. I am in a group of 5, almost all new players, with a DM who is totally new to it and he picked Rise of the Rune Lords as the first campaign to play. So far the party will start at level 1 and consists of the following: Ranger (archery)
It is mostly core only with archetypes available and mostly Core spells.
So - I've decided to fill the gap and play an Elven divination wizard with evocation/necromancy as opposed schools. Are these bad choices? Any spell or other core wizard options I should consider? I dont expect this campaign to really go the distance with the current group. I was going to try and go more control spell options over blasting, I would rather prevent damage in concert with the cleric than have him be the 'the healer' everyone seems to want him to be. Any thoughts? Thanks for your time |
