This is probably a long shot, but I'm prepping to run Blood Lords for my local group, i've got a decent number of skeletons and zombies, but any suggestions for other undead I should pick up? I assume we won't know until the book drops, but maybe someone with some insider knowledge could give me a hint? Or we can speculate wildly!
Hi All I was considering buying a 4 day badge to sign up during open registration but I'm not sure if it's worth it without knowing what's still available. I'll only be able to attend specific time slots so I want to check on the status of the few events that I can attend. Is there a way to check on the availability of events prior to open registration or buying a 4-day badge?
I watched the thursday night 4th level pre gen slot and say a few tickets open up yesterday then I grabbed them. More could open as people finalize schedules or move things around keep checking! Also I did read a few places that Organized play leadership is evaluating how many spots there are, but they also said they can't commit to anything yet since they don't even have all of their GMs they need signed up, meaning they may have to cancel some PFS games before they even think about moving them to SFS. Here is the thread. http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2udj5?GenCon-50-Event-Registration-Experience#2 5 Also did anyone hear if we can pick up preorder SF books at GC?
This exactly, there are so many people who to experience what SFS and PFS have to offer, thanks for trying to make it happen!
Thanks for all of the advice everyone. I am leaning towards 15 PB with the caveat that my players have no issue with this. Likely they won't they like fun and a challenge, but don't extrapolate those things purely from stats. Plus I won't from on them dumping stats if they like, as I always give the disclaimer I won't feel bad if they get stat damaged/drained to 0.
Reading through ISoS the shrine of Desna got me thinking. Would Desna or her followers be a good ally against the old ones, or at least in the first book of the AP? Desna is tied to dreams, the stars and fate, so it seems the Old Ones would be an enemy and the interference in the dreams of mortals might be something she, or likely one of her agents might try to do something about. I ask because I am planning on running the game, I like things to be tough but also I like give my PCs some type of resource when things get really bad. I was thinking of giving them some type of blessing points they can use for a re roll or a minor bonus and regaining them would be based on things that mesh with Desna's profile. My other thought was doing this with another old one, such as Cthulhu, and allow the PCs to take on insanity points or some kind of corruption to get bonuses, and each time they do, I can check to see if they suffer a lasting negative effect.
Thanks Preston, I am curious about chronicles, but I would hope the ruling would be similar My original reply before I saw preston's post: I completely understand the broken device point of view, and while devices have become slightly cheaper, they are not cheap enough to the point that we can just replace them the next day like we can with paper. I do see our age of technology where a good majority of the GMs, in my area at least, use electronic devices to run their games and I only see the frequency of this increasing.
Per the Pathfinder Society Roleplaying Guild Guide.
It is already written that we can use a PDF of source material, given we own the pdf, and we let the GM know ahead of time so they can become familiar with it. If they don't own the material, how can they become familiar with it without using our electronic device, if that is how we choose to bring it to the table? I would say, they add line that if you choose to use electronic media that you assume all risk to your device. Now I don't have a perfect answer for the usable boon section, except that we simply say, that you can use electronic chronicles however you cannot use an expendable boon on them.
Spawning a bit off of this thread. I wanted to see what the official stance, if there is one, and if not everyone's thoughts using scanned copies of character sheets (or hero lab on tablet) and scanned chronicles at a table. Do you think it's ok? Does it create an undue distraction? Is it a great way to have all of your backup characters? Does it create additional trust issues? Personally I think it's fine and I see people doing it already with hero lab, and I rarely see people get audited, but I want to have my docs with me if I do. I love the paper feel and would bring my character and his folder of past glories, but it would be cool to have all of my backups digitized in case I need to swap characters on the fly.
I was thinking about this exact thing. My question is can I play my character if all I have is digital material? Scanned copies of all of my chronicles and character sheet, along with watermarked PDFs of the books? My intent is to bring the character I expect to play, because I like paper better, but I don't want to bring a small dead forest with me for backup.
I hate to sounds like a broken record but I am in the same camp as others, I don't do apple only products since my household is mixed across platforms. I also have concerns about a sub based model, that would be the biggest thing to scare me off if we were platform independent. That being said I'd love more tools to help me GMing and organizing.
I am just about to start up a new campaign with an entirely new group of people. I wanted to play something interesting, we were lacking a meaty character so I decided to make a barbarian. I want to make a thunder and fang style shoanti and want some advice. I think I am going to dip ranger for 2 levels after creation, since it fits with my story (Barbarian who has left the tribe and is hunting/searching for someone). We are starting at 2nd level. Race: Human My stats with 20 point buy are S 18 D 14 C 15 W 10 I 8 C 10 My first few levels, feats and abilities would go like this. 1 B Wep Focus Earthbreaker and Weapon Focus Klar 2 R Favored Enemy (Orc) 3 R Combat Style (TWF) + Thunder and Fang Style 4 B +1 con, accuracy rage power 5 B Power Attack Level 5 Attacks EB +7 2d6+8 Klar +7 1d6+4 w/ Rage and accurate stance EB +10 2d6+10 Klar +10 1d6+6 AC 22 (10+2(dex)+7(Breast Plate +1)+3(+1 Klar)) HP 56 (+10 temp HP with Rage) So this is what I have put together so far. I am going with unchained barbarian since I think the static +2 to hit and dmg helps the TWF build more. I really like the ability to keep my shield bonus to AC while fighting with thunder and fang. I think with the accurate stance and rage I can outpace the penalties for TWF. One question I have is, should I bother with ranger? I took it so that I would not need a 15 dex and to get Thunder and Fang. I could swap my Con and Dex to get to 15 dex and hit the prereqs for TWF on my own. Does this look suitable at all, I don’t need to be OP but I want to be able to hold my own as a the tough guy in the party. I also have a strong want to paint the shoanti miniature. Thoughts, concerns, comments, lambasting?
Hi All, Not sure if this belongs here or in the Carrion Crown forum, but reading over the sanctioned content section I see it lists Part3-Area U11. I assume this means Part 3 through area U11 and not Part 3 and Area U11, but that seems like a huge chunk of the adventure path. Has anyone run this yet for society (I have already ran it as a homegame and it took a good while.)?
Hi All, I am currently trying to decide where to go next with my paladin and I want to branch out in to mounted combat, so I thought about taking a few levels of Cavalier. However my question comes from how do the paladin and cavalier mounts stack? Do I have the option for two mounts? Do both classes stack for my total druid level? Do I get both the Int 6 mount and the Cavalier ability to ignore armor check penalty? Any thought or can anyone point me to anything official?
Hey guys, I will be at gencon early Wednesday and am possibly looking to get into some pre con games Wednesday night. Does anyone know a good place; like a forum post my search fu missed, or warhorn site, or is it an invitation only kind of thing? I would appreciate any help and have characters spanning the level ranges. |
