As I have currently not enough time for any RPG group and already have a huge backlog of Campaigns/Modules to play I would like to cancel all my Paizo Subscriptions for the time being.

Yep, I got the same mail as well.

I have just received it, more than one week after my august subscription items. Lazy postal service. :D

Hello,

I do have a potentially lost shipping the 2nd part of this Order containing the Items:

Pathfinder Module: Gallows of Madness (PFRPG)
Pathfinder Adventure Path #108: Hell Comes to Westcrown (Hell's Vengeance 6 of 6) (PFRPG)
Pathfinder Flip-Mat: Lost City
Pathfinder Player Companion: Legacy of Dragons (PFRPG)
Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Hell's Vengeance Poster Map Folio

did not arrive so far.

The first part of the shipping that did contain the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: Horror Adventures did arrive some weeks ago already.

As this is a oversea shipping I did wait until today to report it.
As of today the Shipment for the August Subscription DID arrive completely.

So would it be possible to re-ship those items together with the September subscription items?

Hello,

I have just received my December subscription package but unfortunately the Pathfinder Module: The House on Hook Street (PFRPG) isn't included in the package.

Could you maybe include a replacement for that in the January shipment?

That's great news. Can't wait for it.

Is it there yet?

I think enough time had passed for the September shipping to arrive in a reasonable timeframe.
It was shipped on September 11th but up to now it did not arrive. :(

The second part (Sep 17, 2015 Shipped package 821365) did arrive 3 weeks ago. I tried to contact the postal office but due to a missing tracking number they can't help me.

The missing package did include:
Pathfinder Player Companion: Heroes of the Streets (PFRPG)
Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Inner Sea Races (PFRPG) Hardcover
Pathfinder Adventure Path #98: Turn of the Torrent (Hell's Rebels 2 of 6) (PFRPG)

Is it possible to track the package from your side?

Just a minor topic: The Link to the Map Pack of this month is pointing to the Flip-Mat from last month.

I have, more or less, received my first shipment.
And to be honest I'm not so sure what to make out of it.
Good:
1. It didn't even take a week to get it. Previously it was ~4 weeks with Cheapest possible (Standard Postal). So yes thats a lot faster.
2. I'm able to track it.

Bad:
1. Shipping Cost went through the roof. From ~15-20$ to 56$. So I can't say that this is anywhere near to be Cheaper. This is something I might be able to live with BUT
2. Customs. Up to now I had to go to the customs office to collect the shipment and pay the appropriate customs. Which is totally fine.

Now the customs is all handled directly between UPS and the Customs office and based on the amount I would have to pay to the UPS guy the declaration seems to be wrong AND they demand an extra fee of ~16 EUR just because they handled it for me. Something I haven't asked for and also can't prevent them from doing.
While I could work out the wrong declaration with the customs office I can't do anything against the extra fee of UPS.

The Point 2 is nothing I think Paizo can do anything about but I would like to mention it as a feedback.

Extra Channel also doesn't have the option to take the feat several times according to RAW. So no not every Extra feat allows you to take it multiple times.

Please note that this whole distraction and that the foe does need to see you is DnD 3.0(!) ruling. It was all replaced in 3.5 with the need to just threaten the square.

There is a Post of a Designer during Original PF Playtest that states that:

http://paizo.com/paizo/blog/v5748dyo5lcml?Stealth-Playtest-Round-TwoStealth #35

It has been clarified since the beginning that all you need to do is threaten and this is done by standing on the opposite side of an enemy and being able to attack him.
If you do, you provide the flanking benefits even if the other person does not know why. So a Rogue does Sneak damage if he is flanking he does so if another person is threatening the target.

The answer is NO for default: You can't use spells from a different Spellcasting class with Spellstrike or Spell Combat, unless you have the Broad Study Arcana.

The magus selects another one of his spellcasting classes. The magus can use his spellstrike and spell combat abilities while casting or using spells from the spell list of that class. This does not allow him to cast arcane spells from that class's spell list without suffering the normal chances of arcane spell failure, unless the spell lacks somatic components. The magus must be at least 6th level and must possess levels in at least one other spellcasting class before selecting this arcana.

Thats the thing that would prevent you from this in the default state, but could be overcome with the Arcana.

To be honest I'm not sure what to actually make out of the Skill Unlock system.

On the one hand I find the system cool and would really like to see it used. However on the other hand I think the one Feat for one Skill leaves a bad taste of the whole system especially if compared to the Stamina system where it is One Feat for ALL Combat Skills. Sure you might not have all combat feats but normally you also do not have all skills with sufficient ranks.
However I think the benefits of the Stamina is much more noticeable as the one on the Skills.

Having the Unchained Rogue getting this through the Rogues Edges is something that leaves me with a bit of a conflict.

I would have found a bit better if it was like that: Everyone gets the Unlock for all Skills with the Feat, The Rogue get's it for free and the rest of the Rogue edges where actually Skill Focus Bonus Feats or something else.

How James Jacobs responded

3. Does the ability only allow you to take spells from ONE other class? AKA if you are a Cleric, and you take a Paladin spell, you can *only* take Paladin spells. RAW this does not seem to be the case to me, I would say the only restriction is the Arcane/Divine limitation, and total # of bonus spells; which list it comes from seems superfluous.

3) Just one other class. Again... unless you have a generous GM.

So it is not an official ruling per say as there is obvious no errata to clarify it. However it might be a good indication.

I'm kind of curious what actually went wrong here.
My Credit Card expired End of November but I had updated the new Expiration date just after the payment for the November Subscription was done.

However just 30 min ago I did receive the information that the payment for December failed due to expired card. I did check the Payment information and could see that the old date was set again. I did update to the new Expiration date and hope that it will now work.
Unfortunately the Payment section isn't updated and still show only the Failed attempt.

JJ clarified

A half-elf can select two, different, classes as Favored Classes.
Whenever he selects one of those two classes on a new level he can choose a favored class bonus.
This could be +1 Hit Point or +1 Skill Point, for Core Rulebook only. Or whatever favored class bonus may apply to the chosen class based on later published books.

Abilities and Spellcasters

The ability that governs bonus spells depends on what type of spellcaster your character is: Intelligence for wizards; Wisdom for clerics, druids, and rangers; and Charisma for bards, paladins, and sorcerers. In addition to having a high ability score, a spellcaster must be of a high enough class level to be able to cast spells of a given spell level. See the class descriptions in Classes for details.

Is it required to use the Arcane Strike as a swift action to actually grant the target the bonus to AC from the Gloves of Arcane striking or could you perform another Swift action and still grant someone else your Arcane strike bonus added to the AC?

For example:
As you only have one swift action per round I would like to know if I can cast a quickened Spell and still use the Aid another action to grant someone else a Bonus to AC equal to my Arcane Strike Bonus + the normal +2 AC bonus?

Hello,

I'd like to know if there is something wrong with that Order(s) as currently the Shipping Methode shows n/a?

This is something I haven't seen up to now.
The payment for the subscription was authorized on march 14th, however it does show that there was 0$ charged for shipping and handling. Something I believe would be wrong for me as an international subscriber.

You are a lucky one I guess.

I just checked mine and there it states:
Payment method authorized: February 6
Should ship by: February 21

Looks like I have to wait until march to get the last three parts of the WotR AP and the first one of the Mummy all in one package. :(
