Awesome! Ruyan.
And so it begins. RuyanVe.
So late to the party but soooo excited! Bad thing is I have to rush books 4-6 of my RotRL campaign - the first half took us two years to complete... Ruyan.
Dear Paizo team, please cancel my Pathfinder Adventure Path subscription.
Thanks,
[...] who ask visitors a single question to which there is no correct answer. Like: what's your favourite color? Blue, no, aaaaah... Anyways. Interesting blog. Thanks for the info.
Ruyan.
You could also take a look at Nobody's Home's "Serpent's Skull" thread where a grippli barbarian seems to kick ass. Ruyan.
I was about to post something along the lines of "Marco's most recent most favorite thread" when I saw it. Ruyan.
Thanks for raising the questions and the answers as I am sloooowly getting to prep that for my group. Ruyan.
Nooooooooooooooo. Too late. Stupid holidays. So sad to have missed out on such a great (sculpted and painted) mini. Ruyan.
I imagine the Elemental Plane of Earth and Orv would like alike (at least in some places)--feels like homecoming! *winks* Ruyan.
Nice, I might actually have to open that book for the very first time! Ruyan.
Plan you PC all the way before you start the adventure. Ruyan.
Be sure to use the system introduced in Horror Adventures if being killed in the dreamlands/in a dream (p 182, table 5-1)! Ruyan.
You could just skip it, you know... *winks* Ruyan.
Must buy! Ruyan.
I'd also consider if you've started yet or not.
Really like the idea of using the library rules for #4--thanks! As Mark said, I'd also have a look at the play style: do you (and you players) need more codified rules or are you happy with roleplaying-acting these kind of things? Ruyan.
According to information on page 149 AE you're correct about the creek's depth. The pond is 30 ft deep (p. 151, B9). Regarding the ogres' whereabouts: I had them inside on the ground. I reasoned that the upper level of the towers guarding the gates were similarly built to the ones in the keep and thus not accessible for the ogres. Ruyan.
The least you could do (without knowing any specifics) is to either replace one of the presented fortresses with Fangwood Keep or, if you want to expand on the Kingmaker aspect, have Fangwood Keep as the seed for the PCs kingdom. Ruyan.
My thoughts exactly! Kingmaker whereever I look! Ruyan. PS: Any chance for KM paper minis #4,5, and 6, Crystal?
Lini's animal companion is holding on to some sort of green bipedal monster obscured by the dragon's wing. Probably another troll. I came here to wonder what kind of big cat that pelt stems from the other troll is wearing... I think, I got my answer! Ruyan.
...snip...The final adventure (Black Stars Beckon) only has a single support article, and that's the Continuing the Campaign one. It stands to reason that its Bestiary could also be a few pages longer to accommodate additional GOOs. Yak. Why would there be goo in this one? Ruyan.
To me, this looks like the place where the inhabitants of the outpost gather to eat, spend the evening or guests are greeted/received. I imagine removable benches and tables are set up for these occasions. The suit of armor could even be a (small) iron golem. Ruyan.
Depending on what you've described to them already a well placed fire ball or similar could cause one of the buildings outside to collapse. Maybe you can place it somewhere else in the courtyard for greate effect. Put portcullis in one of the gates, even B16!--maybe your group needs to escape by running away and they trigger the portcullis. Ruyan.
At the same time make plans ahead for the encounters in the upper level of the keep and factor in whether your party had time to rest or not. My party just went up the stairs sneaked to B31 and opened the door. The battle triggered Pappy arriving on the scene... just beautiful when the casters stay back and are surprised by a big brute going before them and critting with both attacks...
Why Dorella and her lover (B32) didn't show up as well? Well... Lucrecia is still on the move and had her first appearance on the ground floor using major image to good effect. Ruyan.
the Lorax made these--I dunno if they are CR appropriate as I'm away from my books but they should serve OK. Ruyan.
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG! *swoons* Ruyan.
Any suggestion for a Pawn Collection set to make CotCT more complete? (Apart from the Bestiary 1 set, which I've already got. :)) While not pawns there exist the paper minis series for this AP which I will get instead. Ruyan.
Independent on party setup: don't bring the surviving Black Arrows... I've got Jakadros and Vale plus Shalelu and two new recruits (one is Orik) in tow due to me tinkering with the transition from book 2 to 3.
The pure mass of combatants makes it a pain--it's not just that the encounters are a joke (as written) but the pure time which is spent per round sloooooooows combat down.
The encounters outside were OK as I just doubled the ogres involved and added another class level to each of them but now, inside... not so good. As general advice: make sure to have a more dynamic environment.
Spoiler:
Ruyan.
** spoiler omitted ** The looks:
Red-and-black arachnid, has size of a bull elephant, has a bloated body and spindly legs and all-too-human appearance of its baleful visage its abilities:
Critical Poisoning (Su)--> three doses of poison upon critical hit, Dreams of Futility (Su)--> imposes verminous dreams on victim, if AN uses nightmare victim become overwhelmed with futility: if using skill checks or at start of each round in combat: 50% of doing nothing, Feed (Su)--> drains Str and Dex, if both are 0, AN drains Con instead, Great Old nes traits, Immortality (Su)-->if killed, NA becomes locust plague swarm which falls upon itself, last surviving spider grows to become AN reborn, Swift Construction (Ex)--> construction of bridges or walls from webbing, Unspeakable Presence (Su)--> failed save has victim become nauseated, Webs (Su)--> swift action to throw webs as ranged attack, Penetrating Bite (Ex)--> bite targets touch armor Ruyan.
What I can imagine is that there'll be traits to choose from for the players which will tie them to Phaendar--similar to what was done in Rise of the Runelords, Curse of the Crimson Throne etc. The rest will be up to you and your GM. Ruyan.
Cool beans; I'll have to crack open Rule of Fear as well.Is good book. +1 Ruyan.
Nope, we just missed a setting on that product. Should be good now! :) Yay!
Thomas, I absolutely agree! Having the hardcopy in hand and reading it at my leisure is great but for actual play I use a print-out where I can highlight important information in the text, scribble down notes, and collect blots of beverages, grease etc. on. Ruyan.
That's why I'm more than happy to have the PDF for actual play and the hardcover for dis play. Ruyan.
Hm. Not sure I get what you're asking for, but would making the archer ranger an actual undead--say a "pet" of your necromancers--work? You could make him a ghast or something and start building him from there. Ruyan.
-where did you read that you don't? If I remember correctly this was about fixing/cutting the Shoanti stuff from 3.5 version. Ruyan.
The giant eagle mini is already sold out! Ruyan.
But their tentacles are so exotic and they make terrific Flumphy Pillows.The flumph got taken out?????:( Just noticed that flumph is exactly the sound you hear when you plunge into it, head first. Ruyan.
Ah, the 15 min workday to go all out...
Well, somebody has to stand on watch during the night... depending on how much you want to screw the party, he could even steal some of their stuff Spoiler:
I'd actually have him try to take all things Thassilonian from them, then have him stealth back(!) into the fort to try to return to Lucrecia and present these things as gifts for his mistress, altering what the book says I'd have him stay (alive) with her to spice up that encounter Ruyan.
While this is certainly possible (my group fled after their first attempt failed via the hidden/blocked staircase to the eagles' aerie and returned to the fort via the tunnels) I think treidenb has no influence on the place chosen and is seeking advice on how to handle such a situation from a GM perspective. Ruyan.
I'd say this totally depends on your party: with Tiny hut or similar magic or more mundane skills/class features at their disposal: no chance for the ogres. Neither of the two magic users (as per the Anniversary Edition) nor the leveled ogres have any spells/skills ect which might help. So you could either set up patrols (two standard ogres and a leveled one) to search the area nonetheless. Or you could bring in Razmus. He has the class features and skills for going hunting and I always thought it a waste of story to just present him as a XP bump. Ruyan.
And there I sat, wondering if the starship rules would spill over to "classic" Golarion. I think, I got my answer (otherwise I'll bend reality to make them fit). Great! But why does the airship have a dinghy? Ruyan.
The flumph got taken out?????:( Endangered species and all, you know. Ruyan.
As a pureblooded ancient Azlanti she'd gain +2 bonus to all her six stats, too. Ruyan.
Yeah, that is really unfortunate. I think somebody else here on the boards described the same thing happening in his group a while ago. I have one player who's using HL, so I called it the Star Medaillon in my game and treat its "secondary effects" like Bellona did and none will be the wiser *evilGMgrin* Ruyan.
It shipped! It shipped! Dives into PDF... Ruyan.
Thanks, for the clarifcation! Ruyan.
My group never figured out how the columns worked/what they were for. Also: looking at the map I always thought the room was too small for M. With the two fire pits and all the PCs inside there's no room for manouvering so it will be a very static battle and the possibility of PC deaths is quite high. Ruyan.
Logging it the description tells me PDF available Nov 16 Ruyan.
