Question to answer...Does kinetic projectile deliver magical damage?

Yes it does. In the same way that Pummeling Rubble is magical damage But I guess I'd better let the other posters respond.

Thanks Gortle, much appreciated

I'm a bit lost here with the answers.

Phil has asked one question in the subject line and a different converse question in the text.

Could someone deconvolute the consensus here with an answer to this question...maybe quote it...

Does kinetic projectile deliver magical damage?

The spell says:
" If you hit, you deal bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage—as appropriate for the object you hurled—equal to 1d6 plus your spellcasting ability modifier."

No mention of magical.

This feat is triggered if an adjacent foe moves away.

Is moving into cover considered "away"?

Thanks

Hi,

I tried to complete an order on Nov 10, and it would not complete.

This is a recurrent problem. Contacted customer service several times on that day and since.

I have had absolutely no response.

I have 6 items waiting in my purchase cart.

I am trying to GM a game for my 5 players over the Christmas period while we have time to kick it off.

Could I get some assistance here, please?

Kind regards

Matt

Yep.

Same here. Every time.

Let's see if we can get this a bit closer to a reasonable time frame:

48 hours?

When I see all the other threads around my thread getting responded to it looks pretty bad

Seriously?

I would have thought 48 hours was the industry standard for response times for online sales?

It never works.

Black Friday sale fail.

OK

Trying to take advantage of the discounts --

but cannot complete the order AGAIN!!!!

Can this be fixed?

If this keeps happening...I'm gonna have to find an angrier looking avatar.

HI,

Look I really want to use your products -- and I really want to purchase them.

Once again, your purchase system is failing -- but in a new way.

No I click on "Place Your Order" on the "What Will Happen When You Place Your Order" page...the timer circles for a moment then nothing happens.

Can this be fixed please?

What is going on?

Hi

I am still battling this (posts May, June, July, September, October) -- and despite responses on this forum, the problem is not fixed.

This is the only on-line payment system I have any trouble with.

This is the initial post from the most recent thread (Early September)..

"HI,

Just like my order placed back in May (?) and fulfilled in late June, I'm getting this error when I put in my credit card details to purchase the advanced players guide.

Could we resolve this so I can purchase stuff without needing a long delay again?

None of the suggestions worked last time, my card works everywhere else -- I
believe there is something wrong with your system.

Kind regards,

M"

Could you just fix this?

Hi Runrafter,

Thank you so much for your patience as we work through our backlog. I have made a small change in your account which I believe should have fixed this issue. Let me know if it's working now and if not I'll go ahead and queue this up for our tech team to investigate.

It has not worked. I receive exactly the same error.

I like your products.

However, your web commerce setup is a disaster. I know there are other people saying this about the purchase process. How many people are as persistent as I am?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that it would be money well spent to fix this. I guess I'm really saying that because I want to be able to buy products from you -- kind of a selfish motive -- but it has to be in Paizo's interests too?

Hey,

There is something wrong with your payment system online. As I've indicated in a range of messages to your customer service forum, and via email since May 16, I keep getting a "valid payment" error trying to purchase fro your website.

I answer your messages to me immediately, but you never do anything effective.
At best you send me one message which offers to help or asks as question. I respond promptly, then....nothing.

Customer service seems an exageration.

Hi,

Do you think you could actually help me out with this?

This is a ridiculous amount time to wait.

Enough isolated emails where you ask a question then do nothing when I proomptly answer.

Page 149...
Armor/Shield Bonus: Each type of armor grants an
armor bonus to AC, while shields grant a shield bonus to
AC. The armor bonus from a suit of armor doesn’t stack
with other effects or items that grant an armor bonus.
Similarly, the shield bonus from a shield doesn’t stack
with other effects that grant a shield bonus.

It is not a spell. It is a vigilante talent.
So the quote is not relevant in this case.

Is there some other place that this is mentioned that could be relevant to the question?

Hi,

The shield of blades is meant to confer a shield bonus of the same value as the penalty to hit.

Is this bonus added to your AC if you are also using a shield?

Thanks!

Like another poster here (also from Australia), I have attempted to place an order three times over the past couple of weeks. The latest version of the order was :

Core Rules 2ed pdf
Ultimate Intrigue pdf

(the initial order was just the Core Rules 2nd edition -- I only want one copy of this).

Both times I have attempted, including putting in my credit card details
it says that it does not have a valid payment method.

Is manual processing required for orders from Australia?

As far as I can see, no deduction has been made from my credit card.

Can you please check to see if the order was placed and is still awaiting processing?
Yes -- I have posted this question before. You indicated I should try running my browser in incognito mode, and that I should email you if that did not work. It didn't and I did (respectively).

Hope you are all well.

Kind regards

Matt

No. This did no help. Same error

No, using an incognito mode browser window made no difference.

OK,

I thought maybe it was that I needed to use a different browser.
So I changed to using chrome -- and same thing.

Can't order. Same reason.

Same here -- trying to buy from the web site, but my card, which works everywhere else is not a "valid payment method" for paizo.

By the way -- im trying to purchase a pdf. So there should be no freight or delivery issues.

Thanks for those very interesting mob rules.

I'm going to be running this game on Friday -- and would like to implement the mob rules.

I've run aground, however, in that I cannot under stand the damage component:

The damage amount and type is based on the damage the most common kind of individual of the mob would normaly deal, but multiplied by a factor based on it's BAB and increase the damage HD acording to the new size.

1/2 BAB:Don't multiply
3/4 BAB: multiply by 2
Full BAB:multiply by 3.

Could you help me understand this? It looks like something is missing.

Your help is much appreciated.

Kind regards

Now we are cooking wih gas!! Or, rather, frying orcs with oil.

better and better, the deeper we delve.

I've also been considering this battle and how the characters fit into it. I'm just not intersted in turning this into a mass combat for the characters. I think they will enjoy it more if they are not comanding something large, but are small players in a massive struggle -- maybe doing their job but also trying to survive.

So I was intending to lay out the general flow of what they see of the battle (a battle actually very like helm's deep), with crises that they need to respond to that may (or may not) be pivotal to the whole
battle. An intersting mix -- I want them to feel powerless one minute and like they can do something the next. No intention of crushing them
just want them to think they are about to be swatted like flies.

Say, they get things under control just where they are - but an adjacent wall is about to be overrun. Or a gallery ram is about to be brought up against a weekened partof the wall. Volunteers could be called to sortie from the sallie gate.

So I play out what they deal with, and what they do has a real effect on the outcome of the battle.

Any suggestions in regard to this big picture stuff?

Fantastic suggestions, thanks.

Hi All

I want to give the players a taste of the above. The players will be defending, trying to repel an orc assault.

How will the rules work with regard to this? I can see a few things:
1. logically players may ready an action as they stand by at the top
as the ladders fall into place. How do we handle throwing down a ladder?
2. When the attacking orcs get to the top of the ladder -- things look a bit grim,. but then apparently there is never a shortage of orcs. I figure the best they can hope to do is bull rush to make a space and get off the ladder ASAP, and let some mates up.
3. As they attempt to bull rush, the defenders get an attack of opportunity.
4. If the orcs are injured in the round, this decreases their combat maneuver bonus by the amount of damage. if the defenders are injured in the round -- does this decrease their combat manuever defence? Why not?
5. If the orc does not succeed in the bull rush -- I guess it would be nice to be able to push him (or her, gender equality even in death) off the ladder. I was thinking of calling this a trip manuever. I figure if they have taken damage that round, it should mean a decrease to their combat maneuver defence.

Am I on the right track? Suggestions? Answers to my question about throwing down the ladder?

Thanks!!!!

What effect do damage reduction+defence bonus+new critical system have on game balance. In trying to get my head around it, and having run it for my team -- it looks to me like the opportunity to damage with conventional weapons is greatly decreased. Mainly because of damage reduction from armour, which does not effect magical attacks.

Am I reading this wrongly? Is there some effect that compensates for this?
Is it intended that the changes to called shots and criticals compensates for this?

I'd much appreciate some comment.

Kind regards
