This is one of the classes I'm most excieted for (along with bloodrager and warpriest). Cannot wait for the ACG so I can take a peek at the classes in their offical form.

This makes me curious. Since Iron Gods pt. 1 has a street date of August 14 due to Gen-con, does that mean subscribers will get our print and pdfs even earlier or should I expect it around the same time as usual since I can't afford to attend gen-con.
I don't remember where but I remember James Jacobs saying that Paizo has most if not all the pieces needed to run a Test of the Starstone AP. TO me this fills all the expected requirements. It'll be experimental and it's freaking insane enough to really shine as AP #100. I would love for it to be true and end with us becoming Gods... or die trying.
Not to count my chickens before they hatch, but will we be contacted if we win? There's no note in the submission page about that. Do we just have to buy each comic in hopes of our character being in a little bio page towards the end of the issue?
Damn. Where were you two weeks ago when I ran the first dungeon for my group! I would have loved to do this. I still introduced them to the Scorched Hand in the bar as "the party that finished first." And also since it took them four days game time to complete the first dungeon (they're all spellcasters do to some awesome miscommunication), no one can leave for their second site until all the teams return. So the sorched hand not only has a "holier than thou" look on the party, but they also are pissed about them taking so long.
I'm going to start putting him together, but put me down for a half-orc fighter. I don't know if I'm going to give him an archetype yet or not, possibly, but don't know for sure. I'll post again with more info once I finish designing him.
I'm actually planning for each dungeon to be a separate day and at the end of each day they go to the Tooth and Hookah to unwind and brag about their encounters. It seemed like that to me too which is why I'm doing it. The Scorched Hand will bribe the guards and sneak in early on the third day to ensure they get to loot their sacred temple.
Here's hoping its something reminiscent of the Stargate movie.
I think the group I'm running for is going to name their team The Misfits since their a hodgepodge of different races: Half-drow, Aasimar, half-elf synthesis, kitsune, and two others who still haven't picked out a race as far as I know.
I'm actually planning for each dungeon to be a separate day and at the end of each day they go to the Tooth and Hookah to unwind and brag about their encounters. This is mainly because its how I originally thought it was being done. It also allows the spellcasters to renew their spells and of coarse get a second meeting with some of the other groups. Scorched Hand is going to sneak in on the third day to go to the Temple and I might have the Crytpfinders try to sneak into the main party's room since I"m portraying Falto to be a bit of the dickish side.
Holy hells this is amazing. When is this book coming out because it just made the top of my list.
Though we really haven't had a chance to play it, one of the characters in one of the groups I'm playing in is planning on playing a spymaster rouge who loves to masquerade as the inquisitor... my character. They were childhood friends and its been going on their whole lives and despite worshiping Iori, my inquisitor is none the wiser on the rouge's shenanigans.
Ha, that's pretty cool. Well The Wolfhound is a cavalier so that's kinda paladin like. Maybe I'll borrow that Averta thing for them.
So as we all know, there are multiple teams exploring the Necropolis. Aside from The Scorched Hand, the other teams are pretty much left up to us to flesh out if we want. Since I love this kinda stuff, I was wondering what my other DMs were planning to have these character's personalities like? For me, Falto of the Cryptfinders is the party's tour guide of the hookah lounge. He's pretending to be fairly drunk to try to get more info from the party while introducing them to everyone else. He's also all for making himself look better in telling the story about his guild, even at the cost of his other party members. He's by far my favorite so far. They don't care since he's good on his word about loot. The Summoner has social issues, speaking better with his eidolan than other peple. The Cleric has a bit of an addictive personality and will be either smoking or passed out. I have some of the other characters fleshed out a little. The Daughters of the Desert are a bunch of flirts, while the barbarian is the only one that'll put out the quickest. Some of the others the players will have to work for if they really wanna hit it (this is a fairly common request for my group). Mad Dog and one other I called The Wolfhound are the only members of the Dog Soldiers that are at the bar. Mad Dog is drinking away his sorrow and The Wolfhound is there to make sure he's not going to get into any trouble. The other members are taking care of the remaining fighting dogs. Black Kiss is a bigger flirt than the Daughters and uses it to her advantage with trying to get info from other groups. The others are fairly recluse, the Rouges don't even talk while the Magus is curious when it comes to the arcane. So yeah, that's how I'm planning to flesh out the other groups. So yeah, how are you guys going to flesh them out? I'm always curious about this stuff.
thanks, figured it was something I was over thinking.
Posting this here so hopefully other players don't spoil themselves with my question. Anyway, started modding the adventure for my party of six and noticed one of the members of the Scorched Hand is an evoker. What class is that? The best I could get off the srd was that its a wizard but the wizard page has 0 info on the evoker.
I ask because one of my players wants to me to intergrate Arcane Schools (specifically guilds) into our game so he can benefit from them. Thing is he's the only arcane guy in the group. most of the others are martial and divine and I rather integrate a rule into the game that benefits everyone instead of just one player. So my question is if there's guild-like rules that benefit all types of players or am I better off trying to homebrew something?
Quick question, the lich get's a special attack called paralyzing touch, but the wording makes it looks like it's on top of its normal touch attack. So yeah, that's my question: is the Paralyzing Touch it's own attack that must be declared or is it added onto the Lich's normal touch attack that deals the negative energy damage?
Alright, so. Got a guy in my group that wants to integrate the Magic School system, more specifically the guilds, from Inner Sea Magic into a game we're playing but I personally feel that it'll just be him benefiting since he's the only arcane spellcaster in the group. My main question is if there's equivalent rules for martial and divine casters as well or am I better off trying to homebrew an equivalent.
The other card games we play are Cards Against Humanity and Munchkin. Both are fairly quick in comparison to set up.
I love this game, so do a lot of my friends. However, the one thing we all agree on that we don't like about it is that it takes a long time to prep. Prep for one game can take upwards of 5-10 minutes between card shuffling, rebuilding our character decks, building location decks, etc. Does anyone have any tips or anything to quicken prep time? I know saving character decks is one, but sometimes I'll be able to play with a couple different groups of people, so i can't really save their decks all the time.
My group plays multiple games. Just about everyone runs at least one game, some of us run two. So when I say that the worst PC and DM are the same person, you can see how. When it comes to a worst PC, i can't really narrow it down. The guy just didn't seem to make good characters. I take that back, he had one that was good but the rest were horrible. His first character was back when we plaid D&D 4e. He was playing a cleric named Cirelc (cleric backwards). In the opening battle the party is fighting a two warring bands of kobolds and goblins. In the fight, one of the fighters gets ganged up on and nearly killed. the cleric took two points of damage from a bad roll. The cleric decided to heal himself. Thankfully the fighter was able to get out of the mess thanks to the other players. His most recent character was a druid he made for a one shot game I was running in pathfinder. It was one shot for him at least cause moved across state and was here to visit. He made a fifth level druid who spent all his gp, all 10,500 of it, on a quarterstaff that did fire and electric melee damage. His AC was 11 for christ sakes. He said its because the party he plays with at his place focuses more on roleplaying than combat, while our group focuses more on combat than roleplaying (we've fixed that now and do our best to balance the two). Either way, I would think even in doing a roleplay centric game you'd still build a character that was properly prepared. As for him being the worst DM, I'm thankful that I personally didn't deal with it. I personally haven't dealt with a bad DM (a bad event organizer yes, but not a DM). Everything was essentially an illusion, one that was impossible to save against and even wolf could not tell the difference between when he smelled it.
Oooooo. I may need to save my money to get that.
I just got my hands on the NPC Codex and I love it. I love skimming through the pages and reading up on different NPCs and such and just feeling inspired for my own NPCs in my games or feel the need to build off of one already in the book. My main question is if there's any plans for an NPC Codex 2 where they include the classes that have emerged since the core book as well as the new iconics. I would probably buy it in a heartbeat for the inspiration alone.
This was pretty late in a campaign. The party is in an airship moving in to lead an attack against an evil tyrant of a usurper. As their flying they see shapes in the distance, a bunch of soldiers on the backs of griffons and hippogrifs flying towards them with a particularly large bloke on a wyvern. As the party barks orders to the crew, the warforge barbarian (we kinda made a pathfinder port for it) turns to me, who was GMing this, and asked "does being fired out of a cannon count as a charge?" I was caught of guard by this question but said yes. So the party loads the warforge into one of the cannons and fires him while aiming at the leader on the wyvern. Well by the grace of some god, he hit the guy dead on and knocked him clean off his mount, causing him to fall do his death. I had the barbarian roll a reflex save to try to grab onto the saddle. he failed. I give him a second chance to grab the tail since he doesn't have to worry about the poisonous barb. He succeeds by one and then uses his move and standard to pull himself back onto the saddle of the wyvern. Seeing this, the other soldiers are horrified and their moral is gone. They bolt in every direction, some heading back towards the kingdom while others appear to go AWOL. He kept the wyvern as a mount and continued to go on wonderful adventures together.
this! A thousand times this. Especially if you go elf. You're gonna have a rough first two levels until you can get dervish dance at level 3 but it picks up. I also like going Kensai Magus, yes you get a diminished spell pool but you get a lot of nice bonuses based off your int score plus access to fighter combat feats. Also the Dimensional Tree looks like a lot of fun if your willing to pull the sheer amount of feats into it (Dimensional Agility, dervish, etc.)
yeah, I can see that. and since it's an item, any class can take advantage of it.
Hopefully this weekend I can give Torke some proper playtime before I start drumming up ideas for another new class (spellsword first, then maybe gunslinger). Maybe I'll think up some dragon shaman related items. Dragon bone helm for instance? no idea what it'll do but it just sounds awesome. |
