I would love it if all the pdfs were formatted in such a way that people using VTTs can extract the images easily. Sometimes this is quickly done, sometimes the NPCs/Ships/Maps are merged into the background so we have lots of cutting/cleaning to do. Sometimes things are chopped into sections so we have to sew it back together again also.

Basically when you sit down to run a paizo AP in FoundryVTT for example, the amount of time you're going to spend on prep depends which AP you bought. Some, it's very quick. Some: it's hours in photoshop. You won't know which it is until you buy at least 1 of the pdfs. :/

Is this just inconsistency in the finish process of pdfs? Is it a security feature?

In an ideal world, I would get a .zip with all the images in png along with the pdf. I'd even pay for it as a separate product because it could save me hours.

Some of the newer APs are so rough to just get decent NPC art into the VTT, I'd just rather run another one where the art is easier to get. :D

**Spoilers for Kingmaker (mild) and Iron Gods (spicy) in here**

I'm looking for advice on two potential character builds for Kingmaker but with Iron Gods having been completed in the (very recent) past.

Char concept is Android from Numeria.

She's trained in arcane casting & combat, and tasked with a mission of diplomacy & reconnaissance into the Stolen Lands. She will attempt to attach herself & aid the "most worthy" potential leaders.

Concept Art

Concept1) Wizard, Shadowcaster archetype, Void School. Here's where I hope someone has time to give me some ideas if they've tried Void. Best spells? Feats? Any recommended items I seek to buy/construct? Playstyle? I normally play Evoker/Arcane trickster wizard so it's hard to resist going that route but doesn't quite feel right with Void.

Concept2) Staff Magus. Bladebound (Gm permission will change the blade to a quarterstaff made of alien-metal).

Any past Void Wizards or Staff Magi have any tips?

Well it's not easy. It won't be perfect, but you can come pretty close:

Stats: STR10, DEX18 (human+2), CON14, INT10, WIS10, CHA14
Levels:
1) Unchained Rogue, TWF, Toughness, Max: Acrobatics, Bluff, Sleight of Hand, Disable, Escape Artist, Perception, Stealth, & whatever you want. You use dual Short Swords for now & you talk a bit of trash.
2) Magus (Eldritch Scion), Destined or Fey Bloodline, Infernal Healing as your level1 spell, accompanied by True-Strike or Vanish. Cast Healing before combat while ridiculing your enemies.
3) Rogue2, firearm training if you can afford a pistol. Weapon Focus: Short Sword or Kukri (while complaining to GM that Katana is not a Finesse weapon). Take some time every few rounds to discuss your opponents apparel.
4) Rogue3, Here's where you start trucking kids & healing through what damage you take. You've bought bluff 4x, so you have a 9 and you use it constantly to make your friends and foes alike suffer. You are insufferably annoying in every way to all around you despite being useful and courageous in your murdering-of-the-bad-guys.
5) Either more rogue or magus. Buy TWD or Dodge to make Wade even more annoying. You want the people at PFS to groan in despair when you sit down at the table, but not outright ban you from the event. #maximumeffort

It's lots of acrobatics, bluff, sleight of hand, and sabotaging-the-talky-parts-of-the-adventure. Suggest you align CG for PFS. Be the Deadpool that desperately wants to be in the Xmen but can't quite fit bc rules are no bueno.

Eventually you might pickup improved feint and more levels of Magus.

You could do deadpool with straight magus & a 14-16 str. Then dual Katanas would almost work (you'd still miss a lot but that just adds to the comedy...). Mostly the rogue rounds out Wade's skillset & general attitude towards society.
