I think Erik solution is the good one... the zone should not be monster heavy

Thanks everybody! I appreciated the insight...

Raging and unRaging is a free action for a Barbarian... But, could he rage also when it's not in his turn?

Me too...
thanks and keep up the good work!

ToA for Pathfinder is really good ndews...
It's a pity I just ended the old module, converting it to pathfinder myserlf... wasn't easy at all! Well. better late than never.

thanks for the advice... but for me 3,5 km a day is too little a distance... also, this way, the number of random encounters is destined to grow a lot and the the exploration of just a quadrant would take weeks, crawling six squares in a day... uhmm I need to think it over a little more.

Ah, what you think about horse survivability? Seems to me a horse cannot survive a Bone Storm cause suffocation. How could a party keep alive a horse each and themselves? (without counting the damage from the storm and the acid rains...)

A square? You mean the 2000 feet Squares? Just 3 Kilometers and a half a day?

Hi everybody,

I'm about to begin DMing Slumbering Tsar and I'd like some clarifications.

The book states that the Desolation spans 50 miles north-soouth and 70 miles east-west (pag. 35)... but looking at the overall map of the Desolation it seems exactly the opposite (the esat-west span seems shorter than the north-south span). Also, the maps of the single quadrants are roughly 15 miles north-south and 12 miles or so East-West. I really cannot measure distances and time traveling. Are the distances at page 35 (50x70 miles) the right ones or I should just look the quadrants scale?

Also in the arsh environment of the Desolation, what's the travelling rate? 12 miles a day for a band of adventurers with 30' mv.? Less? And on the main road? If I take the quadrant indication right, a party could traverse a quadrant in only two days, maybe three... Am I getting this right?

Thanks and sorry for the rant.

@Skeeter,

fans from Italy, too... and quite a few, at that.
I already started DMing with PDFs. :)

The Impossible Crusade

Thanks Greg! I'll wait eagerly for the campaign world, of course! :)

My players will start at level 1, at the ferry... probably

but I have not decided how they arrive at the ferry in the first place... maybe on a boat along the river, or by the road from the north. It would help knowing the location of major cities around the Rappan Athuk area. Is it Bard's gate to the west/south-west? Maybe Endhome is north. Uhmm

I also have problems with downloading the GM screen... "Drawing error" or something... and I already have adobe reader newest version with all the updates. I do not know what to do

but thanks to the frogs for all the rest, of course! :)

I learned that the players do not play characters, they just play themselves...

yep... I suspected it.
thanks for the confirmation

ok thanks!

A character can do just a single attack in a round, using the feat Vital Strike? Or the bonus is applied to just one attack in a full round with two or more attacks?

thanks

Using counterspell while invisible, will turn me visible?

I believe so, because I think is a lot like targeting a foe with a spell... sort of, but I'm not sure.

You are right of course...

ok thanks! I suspected it but I judged it bad in the heat of the moment... sigh

I got this situation:
A Vrock shrieked with the players around it. The barbarian failed the con save and he got stunned for one round. When does the stunning effect ends, exactly? At the beginning of the Vrock next turn, is the barbarian still stunned? When does the barbarian regains his senses? Before the Vrock turn? After its round of attacks? At the beginning of the barbarian next turn?

Thanks in advance for any insight...

We too, make a lot of confusion... having played from AD&D to Pathfinder ^_^"

Thanks Jeraa,
very helpful

Well... I'm the DM. :)
And I did not intend to permit it... but my players are quite pressing sometimes.

Thanks Tiny

But if you took the time to decypher the spells? I remember it was a possible thing of the past... but I believe it changed with the Pathfinder rules.

If a cleric who cast prayer, bless, shield other, etc. falls unconscious, his spells end or stay active till his death?

Same for a wizard with shield, mage armor, etc etc... do the spells dissipate falling unconscious? Or not?

Thanks for anybody who shed light on this

As in the subject: is it possible to cast a spell directly from a borrowed spellbook, like it was a scroll? I did not find this in the pathfinder rules, so I believe not... any insight? Thanks!

Thank you for the answers...
I'll just wait. No problem with that.

@D R Fischer
I have emailed Bill, of course. A week ago.
I'm waiting for an answer.
thanks anyway

@Bill
I got Petrefax' same problem with the attachments... I sent an email the moment I read it, to notify the problem of course.

I want to pay (for oversea delivery to Italy), but I can't because there are no buttons and no links.

Should I wait till someone answer me via email?

Sorry, I know Frogs are very busy right now...

Uhmm... I think I just will adhere strictly to the wording: The horse is conjured and stay put, till someone ride it. It's for raiding and it's a first level spell after all. Can't become the solution for any near trap...

ok, thanks to both of you.
you both have your good reasons... but I'm more in line with Adamantine.
It seems too much gratuitous to abuse animal for the sake of experimentation.

And the conjurer is chaotic good also. It doesn't feel right somehow.

My players intend to use the conjured horse from the 1st level spell Mount for something other than simple travel.

- Summon and send it running in dungeon corridors or caverns to activate traps and lure monsters.

- Making it run wildly with a slap to explore dark places with a magical light on the saddle.

- observe reactions from a distance, while the horse fall victim to varous hazards...

I think you got the point.

Is it a correct use of the spell? Yes, it's a smart and lateral thing to do... but I'm just a bit suspicious about this use, because it's not like the spell was intended. Should I permit everything? Or maybe the horse would behave badly? I do not know... any advice?

uhm... i think is a good advice. Ok

ok thanks... but don't you think that waiting for something to happen needs a dose of patience?
why are you so sure?

Can a barbarian in rage Ready an Action or is it considered an ability based on patience?

thanks again for any good soul who can provide an answer...

I suspected it.
OK thanks!

I presume it was already answered but I can't find it...

When a creature fail a save vs fear:
it starts escaping at once OR only when it starts its initiative count? (at once or just when its next turn begins?)

thanks for any insight

Does Improved channel's bonus apply to the Turn Undead Feat?

thanks

OK, thank you...

Well that was my opinion from the start, but convincing my players is hard sometimes.

Yes it's a Ray... but doesn't it have a LINE area of effect?

The rules for the Sorcerer (Elemental Bloodline, of course) Elemental Ray (1st level power) states: "targeting any foe within 30 feet as a ranged touch attack".

It means "every possible target in a 30 feet line" OR "a single target within the range"?

Thanks in advance for any advice...

They are in Pathfinder. That was one of the changes from 3.5.

Oh, ok!

Check out this page!

OK, thanks!

...

maybe also Constructs shouldn't be subject to crits and precision attacks?

Sorry to bother on topics I bet were explained a long time ago...
but I can't find exaustive explanations.

1. Is there a complete list of creature (maybe creature types) that are not subject to Sneak Attacks?

2. Is there a similar list of creatures that are not subject to criticals?

Sorry for my poor english
and thanks.
