I have played Rise of Runelords before but I haven't finish the first book, but I always want to finish it. So I'm wondering if there is any group that either wish to start it or is currently running it and have room.

I'm free Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. I prefer around 7pm EST, and I'm familiar with Roll20, but willing to try other virtual table tops.

I wonder if there is a virtual table looking for players. I would prefer Rise of Runelords...

I have lost two different drow players from games that I run.

Do you have space for one more? :)?

For obvious reasons I don't expect this request to go through but... I would prefer to play a good align Drow who worships someone like Eilistraee. Perhaps a Dancing Dervish Bard with Scimtar and is Dex base.

None at the moment with Rise of Runelords stopping in book 3 with Yoda ate my head. But never really got into other AP because they atart at level 1.

I personally enjoy the level where you get to fight the bbeg!

Hopes: For an adventure path that starts above level 1 or 2. Which they have made clear won't happen.

Fears: I'm not sure what to put here.

So currently I lack a group but I have the itch to make some characters. So I'm wondering if anyone made characters when they know won't be played for a while?

Why do I keep reading the title Santa cleric / Vecna

Don't know if this has come up before, but I feel like bringing it up now. What are some of the spells in Pathfinder that you find less than useful; or just dislike? You have to explain why.

I really dislike Enlarge. Why? Because you're trading a -2 to your AC and a -1 to reflex saves for a paltry +1 to damage and a little extra carrying capacity.

Some people will say, "What? No way!" But the +2 to Strength from changing size is countered by a -1 to hit for your new size and the -1 to AC for changing size stacks with the -1 to AC when you apply the -2 to your Dex. So it really is a +1 to damage for a -2 to AC. And you don't want to get surrounded if you're a large creature now. A whole lot more creatures can attack you when you're large.

What spells do you really dislike?

Well with Enlarge person you generally also extend your reach (if you're medium) as well increase the weapon size damage. The increase weapon damage can often be 1 to 3.5 average weapon damage increase before crit, 1d6 Rapier becomes 1d8, but a great sword goes from 2d6 to 3d6.

How about this houserule:

You can make a non-lethal CdG. If the target fails the save it's unconscious. If it fails the save by more than 5 it is dead.

Wouldn't that mean you'd never have more than a 25% chance of successfully knocking someone out without killing them?

It's worst than that as a level 1 warrior has a reasonable chance to kill a level 10 fighter. You can both give them 14 Strength and Constitution.

Level 1 warrior damage
Weapon damage: longsword or 3.5x2 = 7
Strength 14: 2 x 2 = 4 (assuming 1 handed)
base dc = +10
Power attack: 2 x 2 = 4
Average dc: 25

Level 10 fighter save
Base: 7
Con: 2 + 2 (assuming +2 con belt) 4
Resistance (such as cloak of resistance) 2
Total save: 13

So as result the Fighter has to roll a 12 or better to save from being knocked out. Which means the Fighter only has 45% chance not to be knocked out, 20% chance to be knocked out and than 35% chance to be killed.

I personally feel that cdg could be used to knock someone out rather than kill them. It uses an already established rule that mimics individuals in action/fantasy settings to knock other individuals no problems.

Hello I'm Staff Sergeant of the Air National Guard, and I'm looking to play or run a game. I'm mostly interested in Pathfinder (outside of the its traditional campaign settings), Star Wars saga and D&D 3.X. I have played some cortex but I'm not really looking to play it. I prefer a mix of roleplay and combat.

1: You can apply sneak attack precision damage to touch base weapons like acid flask etc.
2: You can apply precision damage anyone standing in grease or similar effects.
3: Combat Maneuvers and their appropriate improved versions are combined together.

I want to support the adventure path series but at the same time I'm tired if level one content, and rather start where pc are some what confident (like 3 or 4).

If I could find two who would risk the wilds of the Bronx and who weren't completely insane I'd be thrilled. Running a Pathfinder game the way I want to just involves lugging too much stuff across the universe by subway.

What about as a player?

Heck I'm willing for 4 at the moment.

Is Williamsburg Brooklyn too far? Because I have a game thread looking for players myself.

http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2qauw?NY-NY-DM-looking-for-players-for-Pathfind er

Back in the beta and to a small extend later after PFS was introduced, I was playing the Runelord Adventure path with Ryken the bumbling rogue (dam you fumbles) is always on the floor. We never got done with campaign, but Ryken will forever be mourned after failing a will save to a haunt resulted in suicide (sneak attack hurts). We played a few PathFinder Society games, but eventually Yoda ate his head and he moved to work for Paizo in what I assume to get someone to cast regeneration so he can get his head back.

660: We're secretly trying to find out if the Elf is a guy or girl.

50% property tax isn't a lot?

Maybe the tower is in the state of New York?

Bump and to inform the game time is 7pm on Thursday at Twenty Sided store. The pathfinder game will be Hexcrawl (I don't know much details about Hexcrawl so I'm going to let him explain it).

I'm a Staff Sergeant in the Air National Guard who just returned from deployment (Afghanistan). So I'm looking to get back to playing some roleplaying, but some members of my group have moved on while I was gone.

Right now there is only two of us, and we plan on taking turn DMing, I will run Star Wars Saga Campaign, and my friend will run the Pathfinder campaign.

We haven't settle on the time or date yet, but so far it seems to be Twenty Sided Store in Brooklyn.

For my Star Wars Saga campaign won't be set in the Star Wars universe, instead it would be set in the modern world. The Roswell crash wasn't a crash but the result of a storm uncovering ancient ruins of a ship and Area 51 was founded to reverse engineer the technology. As the technology was being reversed engineered the Star Wars movie was released as a Plausible deniability as the ships and technology being reversed engineered were similar as any sightings will be claimed of sightings can be dismissed as a hoaxed from a popular movie. However yesterday a massive amount of ships were detected entering hyper space and its destination seem to be of earth.

Looking for the party to be affiliate in some fashion to the U.S. military.

I don't have information on the pathfinder campaign but I will give it as I get it.

Personally I'll say keep it the same caster level, but allow the caster to use their casting stat.

It looks like the card I had on file expired, but I replaced it now.

What time do you guys play?

Red Jester because, ya know, it's a clown; it's a zombie clown and it can throw a Deck of Many Things at you.

Meth last time I faced that I've gotton gain a major weapon and next card was defeat the next monster and gain a level.

Hmm can you buy multiple items totaling up to 750? If so some stuff might be worth it.

I recommend buying the PDF, it's one of the few books I've actually read.

Can't steam has already gotten to my wallet.

Hmmm it looks like I lack the book, so that option is kind out of the question.

I recommend playing an Aasimar Paladin with the Angelblood racial modifiers for +2 STR and +2 CHA. Otherwise, go with a Human for the extra Feat -- Paladins need extra skills and feats in my opinion.

where is the source for that rule is?

I'm looking to play a Paladin who at first doesn't view him/herself as paladin instead as a Samuari, and only after gaining level 4+ (When spells doesn't the Paladin has a deity of Iomedae). My paladin currently has a oath of Vengeance against a Demon that has killed his/her Diaymo in admist training and thus became a Ronin prior to the completion of training, and has turn to the Pathfinder society as sort of goal.

Due to Pathfinder GM credits my paladin would be level 2 with a 3rd possible (depending if there are no GM available on a couple of days). Although I kind of want Fey Founding as a requirement as sort of connection to Iomedae

Here is what I'm thinking

Human
Str 18 (16 +2 Human)
Dex 10
Con 12
Int 10
Wis 8
Cha 16

Racial Alternate Focus Study (Skill Focus UMD at level 1, level 8 is going to be perception)
Traits
Dangerously Curious
Valashmai Veteran

I plan on taking Power Attack at level 3 and Greater Mercy level 5.

So far I'm taking +1 Skill points for the following skills
Diplomacy, Perception, UMD and Spell craft (although that can be dropped, but it's nice to know what people are casting).

The reason for UMD is so that I can use scrolls/wands of silence, fly.

Although I'm also debating on lowering my Strength to 16 so I can get a 10 on wisdom (which I kind of hate having negative modifers on my characters and this is the first time in a long time using PB).

Or not. I'm quite happy with the way the rules are now. There are plenty of choices as it is, not everything should be available.

I'm not, I wish there some way to improve some items. Heck, I also wish there option to have stat items outside of belts and headbands, or even just allow a +4 to one stat and +2 to an other. It'll allows for slightly more character customization in terms of gear.

Well he is Timmy the evil!

Hmm what if you dominate a Druid can you learn Druidic?

Are you allowed to hold off buying gear until you actually begin play? Or do you have to buy mundane gear first and then sell to get MW stuff?

On the GM credit, is there special gm credit chronical or was I correct in using the sceranio's chronicle?

Hello I'm looking to start a pathfinder society game. I plan on using Traipse and I'm starting with 00-24 Decline of Glory.

A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 1st to 7th level characters (Tiers: 1–2, 3–4, and 6–7).

When the son of a famous Pathfinder gains control of his father's holdings in Taldor, the Pathfinder Society decides to build a new lodge there as a base to explore the many ruins of that crumbling empire. Unfortunately, the Taldan Phalanx has its eye on the holdings and an ancient curse has turned many of the residents into the walking dead. Can you survive the tangled web of Taldor's politics and fight off the echoes of the past or will you, too, see your glory decline?

Speaking of sociology...

103) PCs can rave about hit points, rolling a save, and other stuff in character and not get thrown into Bedlam Sanitarium.

Wrong, they will go to a Sanitarium. In characters everyone doesn't know what hit points or saves are. What they do know is if someone is barely hurt about to collapse from pain. People may know someone is very hardy, agile or strong sense of self.

Being stuck in the wrong body is bad. Ask a hundred random people about whether they'd like to keep their genitals an I bet I know what they all reply. Nobody needs to do research or understand disorders to know that.

If it happens in a humorous context, or for a limited time, it's still funny "hurr durr ur a gurl" type stuff, and that's ok. It's inherently funny to watch a sexist character suffer karmic punishment at the hands of others like them, for example.
If it lasts a long time, it's body horror on the level of turning into a non-humaniod creature, even if your new form is normal-looking and attractive. Unless it happens to pretty unusual person, of course.

It's a perfectly reasonable fantasy curse however you want to spin it.

I've always liked it because it's fun if presented right and it gives the character something they really want to get rid of without crippling them in combat. It even presents opportunities for character development and doubles as a disguise.
That's a hell of a lot of mileage for an effect that can be described in one sentence. That's elegant design right there.

Thank you, you said what I wanted to say after I put my foot in my mouth.

Its usually the case when something is to good is that someone misread the text.

When something seems to good reread it, the reread it again and again.

Or read/wait for the errata

The ol' Belt of Genderbender, is it?

Hardly cruel, unless the player is sexist.

Agreed. Or the character, I guess. In any case, it would take pretty seriously f'd up individual (player or character) to consider a gender switch a 'curse' demeaning and disastrous enough to negate the overwhelming benefits of this item.

Well not true people who feel like they were born as the wrong gender feel curse. Now imagine if they were once their prefer gender.

So we're playing 3.0? When does 3.5 come out?
