No complaints. ![]() Pathfinder Society Scenario #9-07: Salvation of the Sages PDFPaizo Inc.![]() Our Price: $4.99 Add to CartEpic conclusion to the Scarab Sage faction.![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I have run this twice, will be playing it in less than a month via play-by-post, and have discussed it ad nauseum in the product and GM discussion. There isn't much else to be said. You will either hate this for the unfair odds, or love it for the incredible challenge. I choose the latter. ![]() Pathfinder Pawns: Traps & Treasures Pawn CollectionPaizo Inc.![]() Add Print Edition $24.99 Add PDF $9.99 A wide variety to ensure something suits your needs![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Most of this set is very specific in use. The set list highlights that there are over a hundred 1x1 tiles of various items. I personally have little use for them, and could have used more 2x2 tiles for pits and the like. However, even the smaller subset of things I feel I will actually use is worth the price to have, and having those 1x1 tiles may come in handy somewhere down the line. The main complaint I have is the small number of certain types of tiles, but given the wide variety, the breadth of items is more important than the depth of each one. ![]() Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: Ultimate WildernessPaizo Inc.![]() Add Print Edition $44.99 Add PDF $19.99 Non-Mint Unavailable New class, new race, and some old stuff![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Nice to get some consolidation of books in. ![]() Pathfinder Society Scenario #8-14: To Seal the Shadow (PFRPG) PDFPaizo Inc.![]() Our Price: $4.99 Add to CartBeautifully crafted story marred by too many mechanics![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() There is so much to this scenario that is right, that it is a darn shame the wrong brings it down. I have played this scenario with my wayang cavalier, and read the scenario to prepare for running it in the future. The plot is laid out in a sensible, if transparent manner. Each stage gives plenty of chances for interaction with the NPCs and exploration of the themes of wayangs. There is enough combat to suit the tactical players and built in characterization for the fights. (Being directed to be unpredictable and confusing was very enjoyable for my CN cavalier.) The problems come from the vagueness of the story and the maligned verbal duel rules. There just isn't space to give enough fodder for the players to work with, a fault of writing constraints, and the inclusion of dense mechanics cuts that space down even further. Players need to be prepped for this scenario, a practically unforgivable sin for an adventure that needs to be accessible to players just walking up to the table for the first time. Assault on the Wound benefited slightly from not allowing 1st level characters and was still a black mark. To Seal The Shadow is stained even further by lacking that compensation. I love this story. I hate the hoops required to enjoy it. This is one of the few scenarios I honestly never want to run. ![]() Pathfinder Society Special: Ruins of Bonekeep—Level 2: Maze to the Mind Slave (PFRPG) PDFPaizo Inc.![]() Our Price: $3.99 Add to Cart![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Pathfinder Society Special: Ruins of Bonekeep—Level 1: The Silent Grave (PFRPG) PDFPaizo Inc.![]() Our Price: $3.99 Add to Cart![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Pathfinder Society Scenario #6–01: Trial by Machine (PFRPG) PDFPaizo Inc.![]() Our Price: $3.99 Add to CartNice kickoff for Season 6![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Played at subtier 1-2 with a party of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd level PCs. Overall enjoyed the lead-up to the first fight and had a fine time with it. (Opening with a crit on the monster helped.) The Silver Crusaders were all over the NPC encounter, and having a non-combat resolution was appreciated. The full complex was smartly designed and fairly challenging overall. Acting out our characters cluelessness at the tech was amusing. I have yet to get a chance to review the higher subtier or GM it, so more opinions may be forthcoming. ![]() Pathfinder Society Scenario #5–99: The Paths We Choose (PFRPG) PDFPaizo Inc.![]() Our Price: $3.99 Add to CartA Brief Return To Faction Missions![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This scenario felt very much like First Steps: Electric Boogaloo with the interactions with faction leaders. However, most of my entertainment came from the group I was playing with rather than the scenario itself. Each mission seemed to vary in quality and length, making for a rather disjointed progression. (And 15 minute adventuring day.) Overall I would also give it 3.5 stars if I could. This review may be updated after a replay to experience the other factions. Update: After using a replay to experience two more of the missions, I find nothing to sway my opinion. There is a wide range that this scenario can play over, and it is quite hefty overall for maybe not as much gain as I would like. I feel like First Steps would have felt like this, had it been done in one scenario rather than three. I have not yet read the scenario, and cannot comment on the GM side of it for now. ![]() Pathfinder Module: Risen from the Sands (PFRPG)Paizo Inc.![]() Add PDF FREE Print Edition Unavailable Non-Mint Unavailable Dangerous and deadly, abandon all hope ye who enter here...![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I had a grand old time romping through the dungeon with my Seeker Oracle of Flame. This was one of the rare times that I was forced to use all of my resources up by the end. ![]() Pathfinder Society Scenario #2-16: The Flesh Collector (PFRPG) PDFPaizo Inc.![]() Our Price: $3.99 Add to CartChew the scenery and chew some PCs!![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Having played and ran this scenario now, at high and low tier respectively, I can say this is a solid scenario. There are no particularly bad or good points to it, save some weak encounters. However, I feel those weak encounters make a certain amount of sense. The story has a unique twist that most players will not see coming. It also has the tools available to the GM to ratchet up player paranoia if played right. More importantly, the players will actually learn the tale being told while they are playing, not just while the chronicles are being handed out. There are also a handful of interesting NPCs to encourage roleplay, for which I am particularly grateful. Slipping into the persona of the big bad was a enjoyable romp, and non-murderhobo PCs are rewarded for once with enemies that aren't set to kill. Overall an enjoyable if average adventure. ![]() Pathfinder Society Scenario #13: The Prince of Augustana (OGL) PDFPaizo Inc.![]() Our Price: $3.99 Add to CartGreat adventure despite showing its age![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Played 1-2 tier with a range of 1st to 4th level characters. Combats ramped from non-threatening to a good warmup thanks to out-of-tier APG classes. Over all a solid scenario with a lot of fun NPC interaction and highly entertaining story the characters actually get to experience rather than being told via epilogue. Play for fun, not a challenge. In answer to the previous review, a GM may pay the cost for each individual boon that he qualifies for based on his GM star total. e.g. A 3 star GM can pay 3PP or 3 day job checks to gain the first three boons. He must then wait until reaching 4 stars to pay the cost again to gain the fourth boon. Note: You do not have to purchase every boon! You may pick and choose from those that you qualify for. ![]() Pathfinder Society Scenario #4–07: Severing Ties (PFRPG) PDFPaizo Inc.![]() Our Price: $3.99 Add to CartSmoked Goggles![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 10gp. Buy a pair. ![]() Pathfinder Society Scenario #5–11: Library of the Lion (PFRPG) PDFPaizo Inc.![]() Our Price: $3.99 Add to CartHot game even on a cold run.![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Picking up this scenario as an emergency session tonight had me hearkening back to The Disappeared. Covert entry, time limits, and skill monkeying galore. This is PFS's 'Ocean's Eleven' to The Disappeared's 'Mission: Impossible'. The location is evocative, the riddles enjoyable, and the NPCs dripping with flavor and personality. I wish I had had more notice to prep and work out the characters, but even so my players were engaged and having a grand old time working their way through the mission. Much like The Disappeared and The Stolen Heir, the fights are a little weak (at least at low tier) but they make sense for the setting and certainly draw the players in rather than shunt them out of the scenario. Would love to run it again to better play up the interactions. ![]() Pathfinder Society Scenario #5–05: The Elven Entanglement (PFRPG) PDFPaizo Inc.![]() Our Price: $3.99 Add to CartFour to five hours of getting kicked in the face![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This is not a scenario for the faint of heart. The first encounter is the long drop after the short ride to the top, followed by encounters that build you up to the final twisting and turning rush. Do not come light, do not come unprepared. You will TPK the same as my table did. ![]() Pathfinder Society Scenario #4–26: The Waking Rune (PFRPG) PDFPaizo Inc.![]() Our Price: $3.99 Add to CartHard to play, hard to run.![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This is PFS at its most brutal. You are up against impossible odds. You need the right resources to give you a chance. You need teamwork to capitalize on that chance. And you need luck to avoid random chance sending you to quick defeat. Don't play this unprepared. Know your character. Know your team. Don't run this unprepared. Know your monsters. Know your spells. The mission brief sets the scene, direly important. Blindly stepping into the unknown instills fear. Instant crushing force delivers on the dire threat. The scenario is not overly interactive, but the combats have roleplaying underlying the deadly action. GMs should make sure to emphasize this. Played at RinCon 2013, with a party of 8th to 10th level in the high tier, normal mode. Four character deaths and two companion deaths, with two PCs left standing when it was over. The dwarven barbarian slugged it out toe-to-toe with Krune down to his school powers while the rage prophet cowered from a failed Will save. This scenario is exactly what it said it would be. Come prepared for battle or stay home. At first I was resisting the urge to purchase this when I saw it at PaizoCon. But every time I walked through the store it called to me. Finally, I mentioned it to my wife, who loves dragons, and we caved. This is a fine set of minis, at an acceptable price for non-random. If you want to expand your collection of dragon figs, get this set. I hope to see more sets of the other colors coming soon. Glad to see the maps go. Never had a good time trying to remove them without causing damage. They were fairly useless and took up space.

At 4th level, whenever a rogue deals sneak attack damage to a foe, she can also debilitate the target of her attack, causing it to take a penalty for 1 round (this is in addition to any penalty caused by a rogue talent or other special ability). The rogue can choose to apply any one of the following penalties when the damage is dealt.
Bewildered: The target becomes bewildered, taking a –2 penalty to AC. The target takes an additional –2 penalty to AC against all attacks made by the rogue. At 10th level and 16th level, the penalty to AC against attacks made by the rogue increases by –2 (to a total maximum of –8). Disoriented: The target takes a –2 penalty on attack rolls. In addition, the target takes an additional –2 penalty on all attack rolls it makes against the rogue. At 10th level and 16th level, the penalty on attack rolls made against the rogue increases by –2 (to a total maximum of –8). Hampered: All of the target’s speeds are reduced by half (to a minimum of 5 feet). In addition, the target cannot take a 5-foot step. These penalties do not stack with themselves, but additional attacks that deal sneak attack damage extend the duration by 1 round. A creature cannot suffer from more than one penalty from this ability at a time. If a new penalty is applied, the old penalty immediately ends. Any form of healing applied to a target suffering from one of these penalties also removes the penalty. Riding Rat:
