Hi guys. We're running a Tian Xia campaign, and I'm just trying to track down the various material I will need.

I know the asian-style classes can be found in Ultimate Combat and Advanced Players Guide, and I know the asian-style weapons are found in Ultimate Equipment. I also have the Dragon Empires Gazeteer, which obviously gives a LOT of info.

What I'm missing is just a bit of info that re-skins or explains the standard classes as they would fit in Tian Xia, much in the way Dragon Empires explains the standard races in the first section. Is this found somewhere? I'm particularly interested in how casters fit in Tian Xia. Is this covered in Ultimate Magic (which I don't own yet).

Any other material that would help this campaign?

Thanks!

Hi guys!

So I'm planning an encounter with a cloud giant and trying to figure out the best tactics to make use of her fog cloud ability. I could give her blind-fight, and will, but I was wondering:

If she casts fog cloud so she is within it, but the PCs are not, can she attack out of the fog with her reach and hit PCs without a miss chance? Or does the fog surrounding her obscure her vision too? (kinda makes sense).

Are there any other cool ways use would use fog cloud tactically I'm not thinking of? I want to make this fight interesting and dangerous! I'm already having it happen inside a 50x50 ft beer hall, so they can't as easily distance themselves from her attacks. (Plus it will make for a lot of tables getting smashed and fun stuff like that.)

Thanks for the thoughts!

Hi Guys. I'm sure this has beaten to death but I can't seem to nail down an answer.

Force bombs.

The consensus seems to be that "force" is not an energy type, so you can't have energy resistance against it. In that case could it be subject to damage reduction, since it's not an energy type?

And if not, it seems like it is unbalanced with equal level alchemist discoveries such as "sonic bombs". Was this an oversight?

I'm thinking of ruling in my game that force bombs are either an energy attack or subject to damage reduction, to balance it with the rest of the rules. Thoughts?

Really appreciate the help!
