My wife and I just had baby and we need to save every penny possible. Therefore, I need to cancel all my subscriptions. Hopefully, I will be able to resume my subscriptions in the future.

Thank you for your help.

First, I have been neglecting my account for months now, for which I must apologize. I have no excuse other than my own laziness.

I would like to restart my Pathfinder Adventure Path subscription and, if possible, I would like to resume my AP sub as close as possible to where it left off (I last received AP #113).

I would also like to cancel all my other Pathfinder subscriptions, but not the Starfinder RPG and AP subscriptions I just added to my account.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or comments about my subscriptions.

I apologize again for making this such a mess.

It looks like I really screwed up this one. All the items in this order were sitting in my sidecart awaiting approval of payment. I had a notice that the order would expire by today, and I had already approved funding on Monday, so when I saw a button at the bottom of the sidecart labeled "ship as soon as possible" I cliked it. It moved everything into my shopping cart. I thought, "that isn't what I wanted to happen. I'll just leave it and see what happens in the morning." Now my shopping cart is empty. The order in no longer in my Pending Orders. However if I click the link from the email I received, the order still shows as pending approval of payment but has no order number.

I know this is my fault. Please help me.

I believe my finances are back in order now. Please renew my suspended subscriptions. Thank you for your help and understanding.

I had to recently replace my car(drunk driver hit me), so I need to suspend my subscription for a few months as my finances stabilize. Thanks for your help.

My order has been split into 2 shipments. This is contrary to the "Hold all items to ship with my Adventure Path subscription" option(which I'm sure I'm signed up for). Any help with this would be appreciated.

Please resume my suspended subscriptions. Thanks for all your hard work and patience.

Please suspend my subscriptions until further notice. It should only be a few weeks (some unanticipated costs from moving are straining my budget). Thank you in advance.

To double check: should the billing address match the shipping address that is currently on file?

Yes. They should both be the Kalmalii address.

I received an email saying my card was declined. I figure that was because I moved and changed the address of my bank account without changing my Paizo account info. I have updated my Paizo account, but I just want to make sure my order will be processed. If there is anything else I need to do, please let me know.

Please cancel my Pathfinder Adventure Card Game subscription.

Thank you for the temporary subscription suspension. I am now ready to resume receiving regular subscription shipments.

I was wondering if it would be possible to delay my December subscription to authorize/ship on or after December 13th. I have a shortage of funds after shopping this weekend.

I received a Star Wars-X-Wing: X-Wing Expansion Pack instead of the Star Wars-X-Wing: X-Wing Dice Expansion Pack. I'm willing to pay for the X-wing mini, but i would still like to receive the dice pack.

I've cancelled the core game and left the expansions intact. Do you want us to move them to their own order so they ship when they come in or stay in the sidecart and ship with the next adventure path after they come in?

thanks
sara marie

This game is awesome. I don't think waiting for the next subscription shipment will be good for my health. Please send the expansion packs as soon as they come in. Thanks for your assistance.

I couldn't wait for the Star Wars: X-wing miniatures game to be sent with my next subscription so I bought the core set at my local game store. Please cancel my order for the core set and remove it from my sidecart. I still want the X-wing expansion packs and would like to have them sent as soon as possible. Thanks for your assistance.

Are you implying that you can take feats from the selected style at any time without meeting the prerequisites?

Yes. Because of the wording used in the entry, I mean exactly that.

I think the the Rangers' Combat Style Feat rules need to be clarified. It reads; "At 2nd level, a ranger must select one of two combat styles to pursue: archery or two-weapon combat. The ranger’s expertise manifests in the form of bonus feats at 2nd, 6th, 10th, 14th, and 18th level. He can choose feats from his selected combat style, even if he does not have the normal prerequisites." It does not mention that only the bonus feats granted by this ability can be used to take a feat without the prerequisites, only that the listed feats can be chosen without meeting the prerequisites.

If it were the case, I would suggest the wording to be changed to; "He can choose his bonus feats from his selected combat style, even if he does not have the normal prerequisites." This would clear up any ambiguity.

While the Monks' Bonus Feat ability is similar, it reads; "At 1st level, 2nd level, and every 4 levels thereafter, a monk may select a bonus feat....a monk need not have any of the prerequisites normally required for these feats to select them."(emphasis mine). The use of language here directly implies only the feats selected with the bonus feat don't need to meet the prerequisites.

HTC Droid Incredible, HTC Rezound, and Kindle Fire.

I hate to do this, but I need to cancel my subscriptions to Pathfinder Battles, Pathfinder Modules, GameMastery Maps, and GameMastery Cards. My finances are a little tight right now, but I hope to re-subscribe in the future.

First, I'd like to thank you for adding my missing map pack to my last subscription order. Your great customer service is one of the reasons why I love your company.

Unfortunately, there was a mix-up with order #1578712. I received a GameMastery Guide instead of the Advanced Player's Guide. I'm in a bit of a bind with this one, because my best friend's wife asked me to make this order for her so she could give it to him as a Christmas present.

What are my options here?

I've set up a replacement to ship out this afternoon for the APG. I've bumped it up to priority but unfortunately I don't think it will make it by Christmas.

Please keep the GMG with our apologies.

thanks

Thanks, Marie! You guys are the best! I guess the only bad thing about Paizo is that I spend so much money on your awesome Pathfinder products.

I just received this order and the box didn't contain GameMastery Map Pack: Ancient Forest.
Any help would be appreciated.

I need a replacement copy of Pathfinder Chronicles: Classic Treasures Revisited. Would it be possible for you to charge me for one and add it to this subscription order?

You should be able to purchase and add the book to your order through the store interface. Put the book into your sidecart and go through the checkout process as usual.

In your shipping options, you should have the option to have item shipped with an existing pending order (this will be an additional option after "Ship with earliest possible subscription shipment"). Choose this option, then choose your subscription from the list.

Thanks,

Thanks for the help!

BTW, nice new avatar. Just slightly less creepy.

I received a "Hookmaw Kreeg, Ogre Barbarian" mini instead of the "Goblin Pyros" 4 pack. What would you like me to do with it? Should I send it back for an exchange?

In Council of Thieves: What Lies in Dust, an NPC uses a bladed scarf. So am I to take it that the bladed scarf mechanics didn't change from the rules as originally presented in the Rise of the Runelords Player's Guide?

That is: Dam 1d6(19-20/x2), reach of 10' and still threaten 5', and usable for trip attacks.

I think that might be an erroneous conclusion.

There has to my knowledge been no official updates to the bladed scarf, beu considering the changes the spiked chain has undergone both the bladed scraf and the metor hammer should have their reach cut down to 5'.

Ah, but on page 20 of What Lies in Dust, the NPC uses a bladed scarf and the listed reach for it is 10'.

EDIT: or rather, the listed reach for the NPC is 5'(10' with bladed scarf.)

I've been reading a lot of talk about people getting replacement copies of the Pathfinder RPG Core Book and I was wondering, if they have anymore spare copies laying around, if you could slip one into Order #1250325 as my subscription copy. Or are we still waiting for the 2nd print run in November?

Done!

Thanks,

These look just like the Initiative Cards from The Game Mechanics. Really helpful.

Shin, Dalv,

I have moved your Pathfinder #26's back into your sidecarts to go out with the next subscription shipment.

thanks,
cos

Thanks, Cosmo! You Rock!

I think paying over $5 for shipping a single item is a bit much, so I was wondering if you could delay my September order to ship with my October order.

I apologize for the charge! Those were supposed to have been free replacements. I have credited the overcharge back to your card.

Thanks,
cos

I had a feeling it was just a mistake. Thanks for the fix.

I don't understand. You charged me again for product I haven't received? I can understand an extra shipping cost, but why am I paying for Pathfinder #21 and Pf Chronicles: Dark Markets twice? I refer to order #1181213.

I'm ashamed to admit that I haven't received my April subscription order (#1160474). I moved that month and, while I did put in the change of address with the Post Office the same day(April 10th), I forgot to change my shipping address with Paizo until May. Seeing as I only moved across town I figured that my order would be forwarded to my new address, so I gave it a while to arrive. Unfortunately this is not the case. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

I'll throw some replacements in with your next subscription shipment.

Thanks,

Although this order was processed/shipped on Dec.31, I have yet to receive it. Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

It probably should have shown up by now, so I will put replacements in with your next subscription shipment. If the original shipment should show up in the meantime (which is probable), let me know and I will cancel the replacements.

Thanks,

I sincerely apologize for jumping the gun on this one. I found my order in the mailbox after I got home from work this morning. I feel like a total tool. I'll try to have more patience in the future.

Ever since my "pre-paid" Pathfinder subscription ran out, I've been receiving the following e-mail from customer service:

In the next week or so we will be processing your ongoing subscription for the next volume of <i>Pathfinder</i> Adventure Path. However, we need your help. When we requested authorization for your order, we received a "card expired" message from your bank. If you have a new expiration date for this card, you may email it to customer.service@paizo.com or change it online at the URL below.

If you would like to use a different payment method, please contact Paizo customer service.

Contact us via email at customer.service@paizo.com or by phone at 425-289-0060, Monday - Friday, 10 AM - 5 PM Pacific Time.

I've changed the billing info to my active card each time and have even tried to delete the info for my expired card, but every month I get the same message. Apparently my old card info isn't being deleted.

Would it be possible to roll my pre-order for the Pathfinder RPG Beta (order #981913) into my next Pathfinder subcription? I know the product schedule has it posted as "in-stock", so I hope it isn't too late. I was hoping to save a few bucks in shipping costs. Sorry for the inconvenience.

How about the monsters from the Expanded Psionics Handbook? They are in the SRD, but some of them need the psionic rules to work properly unless you want to rewrite all their powers.

In a way, you've answered your own question. The monsters in the EPH use extra/different rules. It would be folly to include them in the main beastiary, as the book would have to devote extra pages to describe their unique abilities. If Paizo decides to make a 3P version of the psi handbook, that would be the proper place to deposit those monsters.

I plan to purchase both, but with my future living arrangements in question, I'll be waiting to the last minute to order them.

Alter self in not the same as it was in previous editions. Its more like Humanoid Shape(like Beast Shape or Plant Shape), and should be named so, to avoid any misunderstandings.

I just placed an order for Falling: The Goblin Edition. I also placed an order for the goblins T-shirt about a week ago, and was wondering if both of these products will have a similar release date(within a week or so of each other). If so, could you hold both items to ship together?

We do not currently have a release date for the t-shirts yet, so I will not make this change at this time. However, when we do have a date, it should show up on the product schedule. If you would like to combine your orders when a date is announced, just let me know.

thanks,
cos

If the T-shirt release date is posted before Falling:TGE is scheduled to ship, I'll probably decide to keep them together. If not, then keep them separate.

Thanks for your assistance.

I always found the 5 star scale too limited, so I tend to maintain a 10 point scale.

Sorry, Chris. I didn't get the hint 'til now. I hadn't posted a review before and didn't know what you meant, but I finally broke down and finished a review for magic missile.

I found the magic missile entry to be a fun read. While the optional mechanics are something for me to discus with my gaming crew, I loved the background fiction on the spell's creator. Overall, I'd give Behind the spells:magic missile an 8 out of 10.

I am also interested in your product. I would like very much to see what makes it tick. The iconic magic missile has always been a staple of my spell book. How about you let me give that a once-over.
