Just starting a new group. I have two young players and they would like to run the Thief and the Cleric from the Beginner Box. This should be fine right? I don't have to make them take a Fighter if they don't want?

Hi, Could you please cancel my Pathfinder Tales subscription. Thank You
Okay, so I'm practicing the Pathfinder rules with a friend. He has a bard and I have a dwarf. Now the situation is we're having a disagreement on which way to go. And he asks if he can make a charisma/skill check to convince me to go his way. Can he? I mean, it makes sense. If I wanted to attack him I'd have to roll. But can stats trump roleplaying (if they roll high enough) in certain circumstances? - Senator
For those of you who saw my earlier posting I have been interested in learning the PFRPG. I am clueless about the game having played only the little booklets from long ago. Anyways I found a little local group of 5 people who are willing to show me the ropes. And they're playing Pathfinder! They've helped me create a character and wanted me to start at higher level but I insisted on level one to be fair. I'm sure my human bard will be up for whatever is ahead. They assured me that "bards kick butt at high level." So wish me luck as I begin my first adventure in a PFRPG adventure path, "The Skinsaw Murders." Sounds so cool. Murder, mystery and a little detective work. - Senator
Long story short. I have always run the original edition (little booklets) D&D. I am retiring my campaign of many years and have decided to move on to Pathfinder but wanted to learn the "streamlined 3.5" rules. To that end a friend offered to run me through a "3.5" game. I prepared a dwarven cleric of Moradin and perused the Player's guide. But when we played my friend didn't use any of the book's rules. He "winged it" and made declarations without any dice rolls. When I asked about spot checks and such, he chided that he would tell me if I needed to roll dice. After two hours we stopped the game. He asked how I had liked it and I told him I felt disappointed because he hadn't introduced me to the mechanics of the game as I had been hoping. He grinned and said he had done that on purpose to show me that mechanics aren't important and that the 3.5 DM's guide even supported the idea of discarding rules you don't want to use. I asked how do you know which edition you are running then? He said it didn't matter, that was his point. We discussed it for another hour and again today at lunch. He's insists that I just don't get the "modern" way of thinking and I'm just confused. Does anyone here know what he means? I just wanted to experience 3.5 rules in action but he insists that I'm not seeing the forest for the trees. Am I right or wrong to feel slightly disappointed? - Senator
Burned out longtime D&Der. Tried 4E. Bought many books/cards/minis. Did not enjoy it. After trading for store credit at my FLGS I looked through the Pathfinder Gamemastery Guide and really enjoyed it. Also picked up the core rules, bestiary, Eternal Flame dungeon/Flipmat and Screen. Alright, you got me. Here's my question. Are all Paizo products compatible? I saw so many different titles. Pathfinder companion, Pathfinder Chronicles, Adventure Paths, Kingmaker, Modules with and without the PFRPG logo. I'm confused as to which is for which. Is there a guide? Thanks in advance. P.S. Speak slowly, I'm old. ;D |
