If a player is wearing a +6 belt of strength and then casts three fold aspect selecting the elderly aspect what happens to his strength score? Both the belt and the spell give enhancement bonuses and they don't stack. I really hate when the players get something for nothing but it feels like the RAW is that only the belt's enhancement will function.
And besides, during the battle he LOOKED colossal.
I thought that was traditionally a ruler.For Diplomacy, how about a book on local etiquette? True, kings and princes are often heavier, but I've found them to be uncooperative and unwieldy to swing.
My paladin killed a white dragon (sadly didn't get the killing blow, but he did the majority of the Evil-Smiting damage) in the subterranean ice chamber of a module whose name I forget. The barbarian claimed its head, but I dragged out the body up to the surface to use for White Dragonscale Full Plate later. I hope you had help. If you are medium sized it would take a colossal sized wyrm to create a set of full plate armor. :-)
That just means his STR is using an 8,000gp ioun stone instead, for a total cost increase of 4k over the gauntlets (but his hand slot is now free).It doesn't seem much cheaper to me. A total of 8000 gp instead of 10,000 gp. And as I say, at the cost of a popular body slot. Your paladin has no need of life-saving gloves of first aid or gloves of storing; that's fine. That means he's unusually well-suited for gauntlets of ogre power.The cost difference goes WAY up if the player wants to increase his belt of CON to +4 or +6. That's what my characters have always done (when needed)

muscle does weigh roughly 8 times the same volume of fat, after all. You're right of course, but most athletes with low body fat can't float anyway. What does water weigh anyway? Edit: Oh yeah, 1.00 g/cm3 at a certain temp. Now I remember.
Billzabub, be warned that modules run harder than scenarios in general. They are designed with being able to level up in the middle, and that is impossible in PFS. The second part of Crypt is really for level 2, and that's why it's so deadly at level 1. Society play offers a couple of unique things for players. 1. Your character is portable. You can play anywhere there is a game scheduled.2. It is mostly written for 4-5 hour blocks. 3. Depending on your location it allows for a larger social interaction since you don't know who might be there to play. BUT . . . it is not always the right choice. The modules and scenarios are both fun to play whether you are playing by society rules or more general Pathfinder rules.
Sometimes, GMs like to make things up. When that happens, I like to print out the documentation showing they're wrong, roll it into a tube, then thwap them on the nose with it, while saying firmly (but lovingly), "Bad GM! Bad!" No actual GM's were harmed during this reply.
Nah. I'm pretty good at beating dead horses, too. That won't dissuade me. (-;I'm not sure if that's the same thing... I know there's a word I'm looking for here.Some things are just better left for home games.Like weapon cords and spring-loaded wrist sheaths. :-) Horse Bacon, might work. Let me know how that works for ya.
I hear more talk of the Blackros museum than anything else, and the occasional dragon. Just sayin'. Edit: :-)
I think people balking at $8 a scenario fail to grasp that $3.99 a scenario (3.39 for AP subscribers, free for VO's which spread to volunteers often) already doesn't make Paizo a profit. PFS is a loss leading marketing tool. Asking for more content without an increase in price is dumb. Why do you think APs and modules were made PFS legal? They actually make a decent profit on those products :) If I buy two loaves of bread for $3.99 ea, I don't often expect to pay more than $3.99 for a third. Having said that; I agree that they are somewhat underpriced now and an increase to $5.99 wouldn't be the end of the world. You called the product a loss leader, but the year zero and year one scenarios must be making money by now don't you think? As these products are a one time cost (plus hosting costs, negligible) to Paizo I would expect that at some point they will break even or GASP make a profit.
So what it sounds like just from this thread is there is little play happening at levels 7+ And we should focus on lower level play options because we need to allow enough options for veteran players to play with the new player that comes in off the street. Interesting. Perhaps we need to reevaluate any plans we had for a new seeker arc and refocus those on tier 1-5. Thoughts? The problem is that we want both. Since resources don't allow for both I think maybe a stretched out release of the new seeker level arc to allow for more 1-5 would be one reasonable approach. A new seeker level arc is needed because the newer players don't associate with the characters from Eyes of the Ten.
Math, math, math. Edit: Damn Ninja'ed by Kyle's own reply to his own post. You planned it that way didn't you! :-)
Math, math, math. Good Math! :-) But more import than the numbers (Yes, I said it) what do you think it means. Specifically if you use a more average level usage for each tier. How many 1, 1-5, 3-7, 5-9, and 7-11's do we need a year? Please include at least a little bit of love for the annual special which can be played at any level 1-14+. I think that 24 + 1 scenarios per year is a good place to start.
Thanks, Todd. I had someone say that it could only replace one of the prestige you got from a scenario - EG, you'd still get a maximum of 2 per scenario, but you'd get the two even if you failed the faction mission/special condition run. There is/was a Con boon that did just that. This vanity is different.
To add to what Nefreet said, I guess that I should add the cap to this: Your Prestige can never exceed your Fame. When that happens you must use the Prestige point or it will be lost.
Yes. You will get one extra prestige, for a total of one more than normally earned on the adventure. The total Fame doesn't change, it will be what ever you earned during the adventure. EX: if you earn two prestige for a scenario you would receive three prestige points, and two fame for the scenario.
From a player/GM standpoint I agree with this. I look forward to being able to play with the newer players and that only happens when the module is a 1-5. The social aspect of this can only happen (when the group is geographically limited, other than Cons) when the adventure is inclusive such as a 1-5 though 3-7 is OK once in a while.
My bloatmage sorceress Lady Lumikello. Very nice, not at all what I expected from a blotemage. :-) Edit: Have you found a mini for this character yet?
Like Lormyr I use color coordinated dice and a rolling sheet with bonuses pre-computed to limit my time per turn. Like you I wouldn't play a character that took up too much of the table's time.
allow(s) my character to drop his weapon rather than be tripped if he fails a Trip attempt by 10 or more. I don't know what level your tripper is, but if he has more than a few levels, you haven't failed a trip by more than 10 in recent history. (unless you've been trying to trip spiders again :-)) The loss of the weapon cord wouldn't be that big a deal as compared to helping level the playing field vs. two double barreled gun wielding stuff. Weapon cord does seem like a good use for a grappler build though. I don't have a better solution for this issue, sorry.
Each Weapon Cord can have one weapon. Nothing prevents a player from using 3 weapon cords to have 3 weapons dangling. Weapon cords are 2-foot-long leather straps that attach your weapon to your wrist. If you drop your weapon or are disarmed, you can recover it as a swift action, and it never moves any further away from you than an adjacent square. However, you cannot switch to a different weapon without first untying the cord (a full-round action) or cutting it (a move action or an attack, hardness 0, 0 hp). Unlike a locked gauntlet, you can still use a hand with a weapon cord, though a dangling weapon may interfere with finer actions. Doesn't the highlighted portion prevent having more than one weapon per hand?
