I was reading the hardcover edition of Curse of the Crimson Throne and I was confused by the year thing too.
Thank you everyone.
Thank you Trichotome.

My group is almost finished with D4 – Hungry are the Dead module.

I received the play mats for all of the RotR characters and Ranzak for my birthday. I have the Broken Token's Box Organizer in the PACG Box to hold the cards for RotR and all the class decks.

So my question is how to store the play mats outside the PACG Box. does anyone have an idea?

My 14 year old daughter loves the game. She role-plays her character.

I really had no problem teaching her the game.

She does play Pathfinder RPG and we do play board/card games a few times a month.

The problem with sleeves is this: If I have sleeves and you don't (or you have different sleeves), and I give you a card, it's fine as long as it's in your hand, but if you end up discarding it and then having to manipulate a random card from your discard pile, you'll need to unsleeve/resleeve it to match yours. Or if you end up recharging it, that's even worse, as it will be very obvious exactly where it is in your deck.

Bring extra sleeves. When a situation like above happens. Sleeve the card in one of your sleeves with a a piece of paper with the owning player's name on it.

At the end of the adventure give his card back.

Fair enough. My main concern is that I don't have pawns for the Clerics. I like to use my pawns to mark character locations in the card game. I've even gone so far as to use monster pawns when encountered at a location. ^_^

I use the pawns too. Are these clerics in any of the pawn sets?

Hawkmoon,

Thank you for responding.

I read the New Player Guide and I thought it was great. I found out I was doing a couple other things wrong.

We played only one card of each type could be played in an encounter.

I just got the PACG last Thursday and I play my first two scenioes on Sunday with two other frends. I love the game. We had a ball playing it.

So now I have a question about Seoni's Combat Checks.

For your combat check, you may discard a card to roll your Arcane die + 1d6 ...

When I was playing Seoni and I had a combat check, I did one of two things:

A) I rolled a Strenght: Melee: 1d4

or

B) I recharge a spell to have a combat check: 1d12 + 1d6, because of Seoni second ability.

So here are my questions:

1) Did I play this correctly?

2) One of the other player were playing Valeros. A couple time I added 1d4 because Valeros and Seoni were at the same location. Did I play that correctly, too?

3) I found Force Missle at a location. It seem weaker than Seoni's first power. So I recharge it to use Seoni's first power. So is there an advantage for Seoni to use Force Missle?

I really like the map. Is there any new information on their return?

Are you publishing Campaign Cards for Tears at Bitter Manor?

Hi,

So I made a couple builds that I posted below. They are not finished but something to along the lines I was thinking about. I was hoping to get some help with the builds.

Hi,

My daughter and I are thinking of creating two PFS characters. We have been talking about creating two Inquisitors of Nethys. One of our characters represents Nathys’ white side and the other the black side.

We talked about the white side being flashy character and the black side being a stealthy character.

We are thinking the white side Inquisitor using a two-handed weapon and Dazzling Display build.

I looked at Infiltrator archtype for the black side. I am not sure how useful Misdirection will be. Guileful Lore is better than a second Monster Lore. Forbidden Lore does not come into play for Nethys. I am not sure how well Necessary Lies may help in PFS.

I am looking for suggestion with the black side character and input on Infiltrator.

Also, how useful is the two Inquisitor changing there Teamwork feats doing combat?

Silbeg thanks for the advice. I will see if my local gaming store has some pathfinder society games. If not I will try and run First Steps with my group.

Hi,
I am been playing since D&D 1st ed, but I have went to a total of four conventions. Last year I went to the local convention, but mostly play board games and non-d20 base role-playing games. On the last session of the last day I played Pathfinder Society Game. I had a blast.
Another player and I both had the same faction mission that was Diplomacy base and either of the character had much Cha or any ranks in Cha skill. We had a rough time finish out mission, but finally got luck.

In the last year my oldest daughter (she is 12) has become interested in role-playing. I invited some friends over and we have started playing Rise of the Runelords AP as a monthly game that includes my daughter. She is doing great. We have played about 6 sessions. I start with the beginner box rules for the first session and we have added rules until we are up to the core rules.

My daughter wants to go to the convention with me this year. I thought we could do some Pathfinder Society sessions. We have talked about creating characters before the convention and that they know each other. My goal would be for her to have a great time playing and be successful in her faction mission.

Would it be good if both of our characters be of the same faction?

Are there classes more useful in Pathfinder Society play? (i.e. There never any fighters or Druid suck because they’re very little Wilderness adventures)

Are there classes that are more useful for specific faction mission more than other? (i.e. Rogues are useful for Sczarni’s mission)

Are there skills that are more useful for faction mission more than other? (i.e. Diplomacy is used a lot missions)

Are there skills that are more useful for specific faction mission more than other? (i.e. sneak is used in Sczarni’s mission a lot)

Thank you, MC and Weables,

I do like the flower and freely given ideaes.

I wanted to say that that my party is 4th level.

I am not sure if this is the correct forum. Please, move this thread if it is not in the correct forum.

I want to my players to do a ‘scavenger hunt’ for a good Fairy Queen or Noble. At each item the player will need to overcome some sort of trial/encounter/contest. The list of items I can think of is:

• A 4-Leaf Clover from a Leprechaun
• Dust from a Pixie
• A Piece of a Shooting Star
• Hair from an Unicorn mane
• Mushroom from a Fairy Circle

So for example anyone who touched a mushroom from a Fairy Circle would need to make a Will Save or dance as if affected by Irresistible Dance spell for an hour.

My question is can you help me come up with ideas for the trial/encounter/contest?

Benevolent,

First, I think you need to do what enjoyable for the group.
I had the similar experience, but my group had only finished Burnt Offerings then life happens and now 3 years later, I had about half of the original group and a couple new players.

Here are some of the ideas I had for my group and the choice I made.

• Start the group at level 4 (suggested level for the The Skinsaw Murders). Have the old player play their old character, but let them ‘update’ them from the new source material since we played. Have the new player character new characters of the correct level. Come up with a reason why the other character left the group. Then old player and gm recap what has happen before to the new players.

• Have the players make new characters at 1st level. Then play modules to level up the characters to level 4. I was concern about the missing content of the AP and no ties to Sandpoint.

• Have the player make new character at 1st level and re-start the AP at the beginning. I was concern about players using player knowledge.

• Have the player make new character at 1st level and re-do part of the AP and part module. I did this option.

I did the last one for my group.

If I were you I think I would just start the party out a level 7 or start at level 1 and have the party adventuring in Sandpoint and Mangimar. I think all of Pathfinder Sociecy Scenarios in season four is located in Varisia. Many at located in Mangimar and the area the Rise of the Runelords takes place.

I would look at this thread for ideas...

List of side adventures for RotR

Great maps. Thank you.

I just starting reading Pathfinder fiction. This is a great thread.

Thank you everyone that help make it happen.

I started storing my Bestiary Box pawn in a 3-ring binder.

I have finish my medium pawn. I used BCW Pro 20-Pocket Tobacco Page. One medium pawn per pocket. The pawns short but they fit very well side to side. I will try and post a picture.

I used business cards holder for the large.

What do people use for the small pawns?

Thanks everyone.

I talked to a friend last night and he suggested Archivist Bard.

@Animation, I had not thought of Myrmidarch Magus.

The Myrmidarch Magus is more combat focused than the bards.

The Archaeologist Bard is more rogue-ish. We will be playing the Rise of the Runelords and I think it would fit nicely in a role-playing aspect.

The Archivist Bard will be more of a bookworm and I could hear her say "I head this book and I know about..."

So I will bring all three to her and let her decide.

@Chris, Thanks for the feat list.

Would Arcane Strike work with the bow?

Hi,

My old child wants to play Pathfinder for the first time. We have talk about characters ideas and she said she is interested in playing a combination of ‘Hermione Granger and Katniss Everdeen.’

So I was thinking of Bard Archaeologist that used a bow. If we get high level she could do an Arcane Archer.

Are there other ideas of getting a scholar archer?

Can people give me hints on good feats and for this build?

In no Order:

I also would like a dwarf heavy AP in Five Kings Mountains. Throne of Night might scratch this itch.

I would like to see AP in Taldor and Qadira dealing with hostilities.

I really like the idea of a AP in Absalom City.

A Dragon Campaign. I would like good dragons help and/or giving information in the campaign not just an Evil Dragons as adversaries. Maybe the AP could delve into Dragon politics/culture.

Also any AP in Osirion, Numeria or Geb would interest me.

I have GM everything from 2 players to 10.

1) Delegate
Have one of the Player run initiative. They get everyone's Initiative Rolls and they calls out who up during combat.

One Player is in charge of loot. I have prepared list and I give it to that person.

Any NPC get delegated out to a player for combat and sometime for role-playing.

2) Beef up the monsters

Boost monsters HP. Most of the pre-written monsters have high average for HPs. I just increase their HPS to max.
Example Goblin warrior 1 has hp 6 (1d10+1) which goes to HP 11 (1d10+1)

I also like to add Templates. Advanced and Fiendish are a couple of my favorites.

It has been said add more monster per encounter.

Add class levels also helps.

I hope this helps. I will think about it some more tonight after I get home.

Grick,

Thanks you. That makes a lot of sense.

By the way, a Theologian's first level Fire Bolt would be 1d6+1

Fire Bolt (Sp): "If you hit the foe, the fire bolt deals 1d6 points of fire damage + 1 point for every two cleric levels you possess."

Ssalarn, thank you for your reply.

I have another question.

So I take 5 level of cleric. Then take 3 levels of Diabolist, which gives her +3 levels of existing spellcasting class (Cleric). She cast a fireball from her domain spell. How many dice is that fireball. It is 8d6 or 10d6?

I have a question about the Theologian archetype. Let’s say my Theologian archetype character take the Fire Domain.

Can I use Focused Domain to increase her cleric level for her domain spell? i.e. Burning Hands and Fireball…

I am currently play in Way of the Wicked, which I is really great.

I can not wait to play in Throne of Night. It is distinct setting, which I am looking forward to playing in after the current campaign. I am interested in the patron rules, as both the player and a GM.

I will be playing a cleric of Asmodeus.

He grow up as a minor noble. If he see you as a peer he treats you as a peer. He does not see anyone as better then him and his peers. Anyone below him he treats as a servant.

Thank you everyone for the advice.

Hi,

I asking for tips on playing an arrogant character. I also want tip on how to do it with POing the other players.

It was the first non dnd game i got into, though i liked the first version before they tried to unify all the rules. Its a shame as i got older i realized how bad the palladium mechanics were. Tge core concepts for tmnt were good but i liked the roadhogs future stuff better.

I always wonered why palladium never got into the d20 bandwagon, it probably would have sold and solved te good story background bad mechanics issue.

I am guessing that Kevin Siembieda does not think they are bad mechanics.

I love the background story Palladium Fantasy world, but I have not played it for over 15 years now...

If I did the Fire Domain theologian. Could I take Elemental Focus (Fire) and Spell Focus (Evocation) and have them stack?

Could I also take Elemental Spell (electricity) and also get the bonus for Elemental Focus (Fire) if I cast a fire spell but change the Element to electricity?

I like the idea to put some skill into Profession Barrister

Our party has in to so far:

Inquisitor/Infiltrator (domain Trickery)
Antipaladin
Wizard/necomancy

We have two maybe of a Summoner and a Rogue.

I have been mostly playing with Evil, fire and Trickery domains.

Here the feats I was thinking about...
Selective Channel
Scribe Scroll
Eldritch Heritage(arcane) to get an Familiar
Improved Familiar to get an Imp which seem evil and I can deliver touch attacks like bestow Curse
Quicken Spell

Arlandor feats look like this
Channel Smite
Guided Hand

Which he looks like he is suggesting to go melee cleric. If that the case I think I should also grab Power Attack and Greater Channel Smite.

I wish there was a better mace then heavy mace.

I am going to play a cleric in Way of the Wicked campaign from Fire Mountain Games. The campaign starts at level 1 and goes to level 20.

I have not played a cleric since 3.0 D&D.

The campaign and the GM is pushing for a Lawful Evil Cleric of Asmodeus, which I am OK with it.

Asmodeus's domain are:
Domains Evil, Fire, Law, Magic, Trickery
Subdomains Arcane, Ash, Deception, Devil, Divine, Smoke

Asmodeus's Favored Weapon is a Mace (1d8 Crit: 20/x2).

So what type of cleric works best for Asmodeus and why?

I'd also like a dwarf-heavy AP like Second Darkness, playing mostly in Druma and Five Kings Mountains. Perhaps with a visit to Darkmoon Vale or Urglin via the Darklands.

I also would like a dwarf heavy AP. I was also thinking of the Five Kings Mountains.

4) Dwarves vs. Orks vs. who knows what (sort of like what Bioware did in DA:O with all those lost dwarven cities, infested with Darkspawn/Orks), with added search for lost artifacts/technology/golems/whatever AP

I just read this idea and I like it too.

I created a tutorial on how to make your own do-it-yourself Beginner Box style pawns.

Here's an image of the finished product.

The two pawns in the middle are from the Beginner Box; the others are ones I made myself using Paizo images.

If you wanted to spend the time you could create a couple of hundred for all the monsters and NPCs you might encounter. I think this technique has a lot of promise. Only thing is you have to know a little about image editing (I use Gimp, but Photoshop will do) to pull this off.

I found your tuto­r­ial last night. Have you try printing to adhesive photo paper?

You could also try the Freeport Trilogy, but base it in Riddleport.

Could you just run the first couple AP issues to make a short AP?

Races

Kobolds
Aasimar
Tiefling

Locations
Varisia
LastwallRealm of the Mammoth Lords
Worldwound
Nex
Geb

I agree with Nullpunkt.

The one thing I might add is you could give the character a vision from Sarenrae telling him that she is not happy with his action. She could also remind him that her Paladins redeem the ignorant with words and actions and only redeem by the sword and fire as a last resort.

If you have Faiths of Purity it has a good section on Paladin Code for the good gods. You might have the player read the Sarenrae codes.

James,

Thank you for the preview. I think she looks right for a tough level 6 encounter.

Can a Centaur take Multiattack?

Multiattack has the prerequisite of three or more natural attacks. Centaur has Melee attacks of longsword +5 (1d8+2/19–20) and 2 hooves +0 (1d6+1)

I'm considering running this modules at my weekly Pathfinder Society store game to help some of out level 1 players catch up.

Unfortunately, the store's hours only allow us three and a half hours runtime.

I know the other level 1 sanctioned module, Master of the Fallen Fortress tends to run a little longer than the standard 4 hours slot.

Can We Be Goblins be run in 3.5 hours, or will we find ourselves cut short if we try to run it?

I ran it with a group of 4 and it took less then 3 hours. We had a lot of role playing in the beginning. You should be able to finish in in 3.5 hours.

I ran it as written, using PF Bestiary stats, without any problems, for a 4 person party of 20pt build PCs.

I also ran it as written using PAthfinder rules and Bestiary stats without any problems. I had a 6 character party. We also created the character using purchase method and the High Fantasy 20 points.

I have a question both dealing with natural weapons and the number of attacks.

I am GMing a group. They are 3rd level. I have a new player wanting to join. He wants to play a centaur PC. He has chosen a ranger class and Natural Weapon as a combat style. . He character is planning on using a long sword and a shield in his hands. We were why he was taking Natural Weapon combat style and we have a disagreement with number attacks.

He thinks he can do a full attack with the sword and both hooves. If he wants to use his hooves he need two-weapon fighting. What do you think?

I really like the idea of a Absalom City based adventure path.
A Dragon Campaign. I would like good dragons help or giving information in the campaign not just a Evil Dragon as adversaries.

In a lot of sources about goblins it says goblins can create cobbled item and in Goblins of Golarion it has rules on how they work. It sounds like the goblins can craft anything out of ‘garbage’ like weapon armor, cloths, back packs and any equipment.

So, I have a couple players playing goblin PCs. How should I handle the crafting of the cobbled items? Should I have them put skill point into craft(cobbling) or create a feat for crafting cobbling items?

I ask a similar question last week. Your situation is different because you players took charge of the tribe.

My first suggestion would to look at the kingmaker ruler. And even that first adventure (Stolen Land) could easy be change to your campaign.

Someone suggested Master of the Fallen Fortress for me. I think this would work for you too. An earthquake has just opened a seal tower. Your PCs should want to investigate. They should not want to send other goblins to investigate just in case those goblins with power magic stuff and take over the tribe.

You could also run the reverse Burnt Offering from Adventure path #1. Where you PCs gather up the local tribe and raid Sandpoint.

I ran this ‘We Be Goblins’ module last night and we had a great time

I got an email this morning from one of the player asking if we could do a sequel. Is this a good module or Pathfinder Society module that could be slight modify to work with goblins as PC characters?

I thought I remember an adventure in a Dungeon that had monsters as PC. Does anyone remember that adventure?

Use Master of the Fallen Fortress. It can easily be modified to be a lone tower in the middle of nowhere, and has a few plot elements that can easily be converted to involve goblins.

** spoiler omitted **

I looked at the Fallen Fortress and it look great. I am going to used it.

I am also considering running Rise of the Runelords with a few of the party being goblins.
