Sprain Ogre's page

I wrapped one of my two wrath groups this evening. The other group ought to finish this Saturday. Then, sometime next month, I'm going to bring both groups together to fight Deskari, pumped up and with some truly terrifying minions, for one last throw down to end this demon lord once and for all.

This marks the first time bringing a Pathfinder adventure path to a close (although I've also run a party all the way though Age of Worms, so not the first Paizo AP I've finished). Certainly the highest power game I've run for this long. And while it was fun, I'm looking forward to some power levels that I find more manageable!

Ran it through law school and studying for the bar exam, and it helped keep me sane. Ran it to the end despite my own problems with running high level games. It's been very satisfying despite some of the new wrinkles in the game that mythic has added. I've enjoyed mythic, and it's an interesting rule set, although I have had to modify, tweak, and retool aspects of it to make it work at my table a little bit better. Especially because all of my players are VERY clever.

So I'd really like to thank the writers on this path because it's been a lot of fun, the good folks at Paizo for putting out a game I've enjoyed and has helped me weather the stress of the last few years, and the good folks on this message board for providing insight, arguments, and some nasty new stat blocks.

One of my players is wondering what the interaction is between the archmage ability Crafting Mastery, and the Feat mythic crafter.

My inclination is that mythic crafter only works for those item creation feats for which you have the feat not for those that you replicate through Crafting Mastery.

That said, I don't want to deny some potency that is supposed to be there, so here I am.

Are there any official rulings on this? Other thoughts on the matter?

Thanks!

Hi, I placed a subscription order for the Adventure Path (starting at Jade Regent #1). This is my first subscription (go me!), and I was hoping to see the pdf available for download, but it's not there yet. I checked my bank website, and it says I've been charged, but no PDF. How long is the typical delay for that kicking in? Thanks!

(Order number: 1766450 in case it makes a difference)

I've been itching to play a Jade Phoenix Mage since Book of Nine Swords came out. However, I was pretty much always DM at that time, and now that Pathfinder is the norm, no one I play with is allowing 3rd ed stuff into their Pathfinder games. Meh. So, I want to convert the prestige class I want oh so badly to play into something Pathfinder based. Magus seems to be a good fit.

First step is to see if anything like this has been done already. Google seems to think it has not.

Second step is to decided if the JPM works better as an archetype or as a prestige class (less a combo class like before and more a specialize class like Master Chymist).

Ideas? Thoughts? Advise? Brain storming? I'm open to them all. Thanks!

So if you have a creature with regeneration, like a troll, can you finish them off with a Coup de Grace? I'm leaning towards yes from the save or die portion, but I can see how it could be argued the other way. Is there something I'm missing, or an official ruling?

Just started running my first game in Pathfinder, and already got side swiped by a rule question on some feats. Namely, Rapid Shot and Manyshot. Can they both be used in the same full-attack action? (Giving the first shot two arrows, then the arrow from Rapid Shot, then whatever else from high BAB, all at a -2.) The rules have changed since 3.5 when Manyshot was a standard action, and not part of a full-attack action.

Is there a ruling on this? Did I miss something in the rules? Is this just how it works now? Thanks all!
