daggers, dirks, stilettos, ninja stars 'of returning' are always nice to have.

Heward's Handy Haversack

Gloves of Dexterity +2 or better
Anti-Toxin
Thunderstones are always nice to have esp. if you find yourself alone, or needing to cause a large distraction so you can run or sneak attack.
Potion of Cure Light Wounds
A ring or dagger with True sight and/or True strike permanently enchanted within it.

Bottle of Perfume/Cologne - oddly enough I've found it highly effective when thrown at supernatural animals with heightened senses of smell. Also works well in court. but it would always be at the bottom of my shopping list.

<quote>is there such a thing has a magic sneak attack? or can you get negatives to the saving throws?</quote>

In the campaigns I've played in there has been a way, maybe it cheated the rules a bit or maybe there's just no ruling upon it.

I had a sorcerer/rogue that would declare a sneak magic attack by first rolling a bluff check +15, he would then hide his spellcasting by reaching for his rogue's knife, or making a flashy display of knifecuts in the air, which required a Disguise roll +10, and a spellcraft check +12 and then bam! Take a 6d6 fireball!

I always thought, when our DM made the rulings of what the saving throws were or how scortched those Drow got that maybe there were negatives added to the saving throw because the NPC's all thought I was a battle-hungry rogue waving my daggers around? Maybe the DM just liked my style. Or maybe it had to do with making 3 successful skill checks in a row.

Potion of Minor Cure Light Wounds
Heals 1 hp. 5 cp.
Doesn't unbalance low-magic campaigns, can be put it in any minor magical shop, and saves a dying PC's life. Assuming they were smart enough to buy it. :) Although, I do believe it was already published in an adventure module I was assisting some other people with.

Unstable Stone - that's a lot of damage to pack into the equivalent of a 3.0 Thunderstone and the cost isn't equitable. In addition, I think a GM would be tempted to add a very serious negative, such as if your equipment takes a hit, it may well go off in your backpack.

Berik, I am pretty certain it was 2004, many of the dates, facts, times, things I remember happening align properly with that date. I could probably write a very long post on all of those facts. It certainly wasn't 2006 because I was on the streets looking for a job at the time. In 2008, I was deeply involved in another project and never would have diverted any time from it.

As I remember in September of that year, they were talking about setting templates up for publication, and specifically asked me to spell check and grammar edit my own work for presentation to another group of people. It was going to be professionally printed up on brochures, or little posters by a graphic designer who was female I remember, and put on tables. (As odd as that sounds) The possibility of being open to making additional edits to the class was mentioned by my contact but he wanted to see what others had to say about it all first before we changed anything.

In January or February of the next year, I was informed that they really liked particularly my ideas of the Pathfinder Bard, it was well received, and no additional edits would be needed, they wanted to keep it 'as is'.

I am sorry, for awakening your forum trolls. No it is not a joke. This may be my first and second post, but it is only because I have emailed Paizo on this matter and have gotten no response. This is my 2nd attempt at making contact with them.

As for the name I have chosen, isn't it obvious? I have chosen that which I love, and could happily spend countless hours daydreaming about the most to represent myself.

To all of the doubters and haters responding to this thread. I am simply going to say: I don't care if you believe in me, any more than you care if I believe in you.

Thank you all, Marc Radle, Scripps, Odraude, Starbuck II, and Cheapy for being honest and sincere with me.

In response to Cheapy: Yes it started on forums, but at their request we switched to direct email correspondence during which we did a lot of back and forth on the Pathfinder Bard, and I'm quite certain the person I was working with told me that I was going to get some kind of book credit (if only my name) for all the work I was doing.

Now, I would have used the email correspondence address to contact them about this matter directly, but the Mailer Demon says it no longer exists.

Hello,

I wrote a large part of the Pathfinder Bard back in 2004, when I was in my last year of Junior college. I was told that a separate book of credits would be published for everyone to look at, as they couldn't fit everyone who contributed into the back of the Pathfinder book. Where might I find that book? The new RP group I'm with just won't believe me when I told them, that yes, I did write a good portion of that class. They want to see the physical proof presented to them.

Can you help me please? Thank you.

We'll use this to discuss character creation. Participation is by invitation only.

This is the discussion thread for the Dragon's Demand Campaign.

Dragon's Demand is coming....

The ratfolk example on page 21 is paying too much for its abilities. If they come from the Darklands, you can substitute Underground Sneak on page 14 for the three Skill Bonuses. That makes them even better at sneaking and leaves them 1 RP to buy either Bite or the Stalker ability. If you're making them from the Darklands, you could make them Vulnerable to Sunlight, give them both Bite and the Stalker ability, and improve the size of the Bite attack one category.
