I helped a friend make a Sorcerer character with the Imperious Bloodline. We're lvl 5 for now, so far so good, but I was taking a look at the Bloodline Feats and at least one of them (Heroic Defiance) requires as base Fort Save that is not reachable for a pure sorcerer.

From the CRB:

At 7th level, and every six levels thereafter, a sorcerer receives one bonus feat, chosen from a list specific to each bloodline. The sorcerer must meet the prerequisites for these bonus feats.

From the APG - Heroic Defiance:

Prerequisites: Diehard, Endurance, base Fortitude save +8.

Sorcerer Base Fortitude maxes out at +6, so what's a sorcerer to to? Is there any errata on it or something???

One of my players has made a gnome rogue who's really into "dumb pranks" (the player's own words), and one facet of this is putting her obsession trait into craft (traps).

I'm struggling with making this work in combat, but talents like quick trapsmith should help (and getting rid of the prohibitive cost of simple arrow, pit, and wire traps), but this thread is more asking about harmless and/or whimsical trap pranks she might be able to use on non-hostile NPCs and PCs alike. She's already made liberal use of her innate gnome magic to mess with her party members, in a delightfully non-tone-breaking way.

Already thinking of statting up a whoopee cushion using the trap creation rules (CR -), any other ideas?

Hello,

I'm writing about my latest order, #36315160, which was placed on my behalf on Dec 29, 2020. The order was a replacement of Order #22618677, which was placed on JJune 25 2020 but never arrived.

The primary item from the replacement order (Mummy's Mask #4: Secrets of the Sphinx) arrived sometime in mid/late January, I'm afraid don't recall the exact date. Unfortunately, neither of the other two items (Mummy's Mask Poster Map and the Thornkeep Module) have arrived, and now that it's roughly two months later and all three items were shipped at the same time, I'm doubting that they're still on the way.

Please reply to this thread or contact me privately to help sort this out. I'm open to providing an alternate address if that's somehow the issue.

The above order (made on June 25 2020) never arrived, but it's listed as "Complete". My card was charged, but I haven't received anything (it was split into three packages, presumably for customs reasons). I can understand a shipping delay, but the "complete" status makes me think nothing is coming at this point.

I emailed customer service in August, and again this week, but I've since seen there's an (understandable) backlog of emails. I appreciate the regular updates on that front, but thought I'd post here as well in case that helps move things along. I appreciate any insights!

I've got one PC with a solid disguise check, but the others are going to have trouble. Can one use a kit to make checks for the other PCs? Not unlike making survival checks to help fellow PCs get along in the wild, only this time with makeup and fake mustaches.

I know RAW the skill says "You can use Disguise to change YOUR appearance" (emphasis mine) but I'm wondering if there's any other thoughts on the subject.

Obviously not, pardon the clickbait-y title.

But I was looking at the Starfinder deities, and unless I'm mistaken there's a huge lack of a god(dess) of love/romance in the setting. Two of the lesser deities have sexuality (Arshea) and lust (Calistria) in their portfolios, but that's not the same as love (though they overlap, of course). We've also got a god of friendship (Hylax), but that's just a piece of the pie too.

The entry for Zon-Kuthon sheds a bit of light (ironically) on Shelyn (Pathfinder's goddess of love, beauty, and art):

Of Zon-Kuthon’s sibling, Shelyn, much remains unknown. Though not silent, her responses to worshipers are infrequent and fractured, leading some to believe she’s traveling beyond the known multiverse in search of a cure for her brother’s ancient, yet still mysterious condition.

While very cool, it does show that even while she's around, Shelyn's at the very least preoccupied. I'm wondering if anyone's filling in for her in the meantime?

I noticed the purple worm has both a bite and a sting attack. The anatomy of the bite is obvious enough, but I'm wondering what part of the worm delivers sting attacks. Is it the tail end (in which case, can it not use its stinger when only the front half has emerged?), or some spikes in/around the mouth, or some third option I haven't considered?

Being a worm, I'm guessing it's something at either end, other than massive size there doesn't seem to be a lot going on in between.

I was looking through the Bestiary (I've got the third printing), and found the metallic dragon artwork a little confusing. The copper dragon is brass-coloured, and the brass dragon is very copper-coloured, right down to the copper-oxide-esque streak of green down its belly.

I believe this counter-intuitive art style holds up in Dragons Revisited, but I don't own the volume.

Dragons Unleashed, however, has a copper-coloured copper dragon and a brass-coloured brass dragon. This makes a lot more sense to me, and the fact that it's the newer text certainly doesn't hurt.

I've also got the Bestiary Box, and here's where it gets curious. The pawns for young brass and copper dragons seem to stick to the Bestiary's version, but the adult pawns have the more aptly-named dragons.

So I guess in terms of PFRPG sources, as opposed to older 3.5 OGL ones, we've got one text on either side, and a pawns set that's a wash. In case it hasn't been obvious, if my campaigns encounter brass or copper dragons I'll play them with the more obvious colour schemes, but I'm curious if there was a reason for the switch, and if there are any other thoughts on the matter. If this has been resolved in a previous thread/blog post/errata document etc, my apologies!

Even the general lore is pretty clear about a handful of countries' stances on slavery, eg. Cheliax and Katapesh staunchly in favour, Andoran fiercely opposed, Absalom sort of conveniently on the fence.

What I'm wondering is where some of the other nations of the Inner Sea region lie on that spectrum, particularly Taldor (harder to make an educated guess than the ones with more predictable alignments).

What are your thoughts? Not just for Taldor, feel free to weigh in on others (especially neutral places) if you want. Thanks for your insight!
