Looks nice :)

Is it just the one coin?

If I ever manage to finish the game I'll get one, frame it and put it on my wall.

The Devs are usually very active at answering rules specific questions and clarifying print errors before an official errata is released.

The problem I've found is sometimes these answers are hidden withing pages and pages of posts and comments and are not easily accessible.

So I'm putting together a list of clarifications, comments or fixes that the Devs have addressed at some point, so that it can be compiled in a sort of FAQ.
Nanmaniac from pf2.easytool.es has also agreed to add them to his site once we've compiled enough.
So for example, if you go to Sun Blade, it will specify that the text is wrong, and on a failure it does not deal full damage like the CRB says, because Mark Seifter clarified it here https://paizo.com/threads/rzs42t39?Sun-Blade-Confusion#7

So, if any of you know of more clarifications, either in forums or blogs, please post them below and I'll add them to the list.
Here's the list, but you might need to request access if you want to edit it yourselves.

I'm a player in AoA and my GM is usually really busy so I thought I'd try and give him a hand.

We just got back from Citadel Altaerein in Book 1 and we're wanting to do a shopping spree, so we asked him basically what items would be readily available to us in town.

I thought I'd reach out to the community for suggestions on what items can be found in each of the shops in town.

Any advice I can pass on to him would be great, maybe a roll of items on a table? Not sure how that works exactly.

Thanks!

I've updated my Checklist for crazy collectors.
Because I'm starting a separate one for Second Edition material, this one should pretty much be done other than maybe some formatting issues, missing release dates and possible broken Links. But when it comes to actual product listings, it SHOULD be complete.

Pathfinder Product Checklist

Let me know if I missed anything or if any corrections should be made.

Enjoy!

The crafting skill section in the play test rule book says you must have the appropriate tools or kit to craft items.
The snare kit weighs 8 bulk. This to me seems off, my ranger with 16 strength can only carry 8 bulk worth of stuff and snares need to be crafted in the field. So if I need to carry that kit with me I can't carry anything else.

Snares seem bad as is, but this makes them unusable. Can anyone confirm if snares actually require a snare kit?

I'm talking from no experience here since I've never play tested a game before.
But I'm wondering if a 6 month play test is enough. I'm sure Paizo will do a great job at recompiling a lot of feedback and then fixing a lot for the final edition, but shouldn't there be a testing period for that as well?
Like an Alpha and a Beta?
I'm hoping this edition is amazing and lasts us another 10+ years, so wouldn't want to see many reviews months after release on how some stuff could have been better.

Just want to avoid Pathfinder 2: Unchained 2: electric Boogaloo.

In 1E there was always a bit of a discrepancy with the economy, as in, how much a GP was worth, specially when calculating the value of some goods vs how much people made.
I always explained to my group that a rough estimate would be 1gp = 100 USD in a 1970s economy. It wasn't perfect but it gave a rough idea.

I haven't had the chance to delve into the book in too much detail yet, but was wondering how this is looking so far now that they've revamped stuff a bit.

Hi guys.

I understand the word Feat has been used for a while and people are kind of used to it, but when I started playing I found it incredibly confusing.
Feats are more like Abilities or Skills your character has, and since we already had ability scores and skills describing other stuff it just confused me a lot.

Wouldn't it be simpler to call ability scores "Base Stats" or something of the like and use the word "Ability" for feats?

Does anyone share this opinion with me?

The playtest is upon us!

I have three face to face games currently running and no time to add in one for the Playtest. But really want to join in.

I live in a remote area with unreliable internet. I've already tried roll20 but the voice was not possible.

So I am able to either play in a Play by post or on roll 20 based text.

I'm very active, and even on play by post I can usually reply within an hour or less.

I'd really like to playtest, so if you know of anyone running a game of Doomsday Dawn text based please let me know!

Cheers!

Hi all,

First off, if this isn't the right board to post in, please let me know and I'll move it to the more appropriate one.

A while ago I found a Product Checklist by Junius Galio, but it was very outdated (2011) and as a collector I really wanted one that was up to date.
After looking around with no luck I decided to make my own.

It's still not 100% done, I'm missing Pathfinder Legends and Pathfinder Comics, but it should still be use-able. There's also some formatting here and there that I'll likely get to with time. Also, the release dates are just a rough estimate and are a bit of a mess. But I'm not sure I care enough to fix it.

All entries have a link to the product on the Paizo.com website and if available the link to the PathfinderWiki article.

If you have any feedback on what I should add, or if there's anything wrong please let me know so I can fix it up!

Enjoy!

Building my level 7 Tiefling Slayer. My favorite Character so far, so I'm looking for some feedback.
She's build as a ranged combatant, but because she's Oni Spawn and has a decent STR score she is often fighting in melee with a crazy Axe the DM dropped, which has worked well even if I have no feats to use with it.

Was thinking of maybe taking Vital Strike instead of Improved Initiative, since I can benefit from it in both Range and Melee.

What do you think!?

So Wizards of the Coast just announced D&D Beyond. An official app with character creation and gameplay database that you can access through Curse on any device.

It looks really exciting, and as someone who plays both D&D and Pathfinder, I'm wondering if Paizo will follow suit.
The system is a lot more complicated in Pathfinder since there's so many variables but I would love this being made.

What do you guys think? Would Paizo be interested in making something like this?

Hi, just wondering about this combat feat:

Axe to Grind: There is a fire in your heart that can't be quenched. You gain a +1 trait bonus on damage against foes who are threatened by only you.

When saying threatened only by you. Does this mean out of range by any other character?
This seems useful for rangers, no?

Hey guys,

I'm a relatively new player. I've only played one campaign before by using the custom fighter, Valeros.

My group and I just decided to start off a new campaign.
I've been thinking of the character I want to play for a while. I found that while Valeros was great in combat, he was a bit boring to play outside of battle as he didn't have much to do other than smash stuff, so I want something that although useful in combat, has more out of combat utilities, he would be a Rogue, yet I want to very much hide the fact that he is a rogue and act more as a sophisticated and charismatic/cheeky man. He'll probably carry a Rapier or that two handed Elven Dex based sword but I want his combat to be focused on using a Bow.
The campaign is one where the DM has specifically said Min maxing won't be necessary and we should just play characters we enjoy playing.

I wanted to start as a Rogue and just give him a bow since he'll have high Dex anyway.

However, I was wondering if one of the advanced classes already did this. I've read through a few and can't really see something that specific.

Any suggestions on some of the advanced classes that would work better than just using a Bow wielding rogue?

Thanks!

Hi All,
I just started playing the Pathfinder starter Box on Sunday with some friends and had so much fun I wanted to share our experience through the dungeon.
It was a party of three plus the GM. We all used the Heroic characters that came pre made in the box.
Ezren the Wizard, Kyra the Cleric and Valeros the fighter (me).
So we approached the cave and I decided to inspect the Statue, both me and Kyra saw nothing out of the ordinary, but Ezren noticed the acid marks on it. Then the two Goblins attacked! Since Kyra was bending over inspecting the statue, she got stabbed in the ass, Ezren tried waking the other on the head with a stick. This was great because my friend Meg who was running Ezren was making old people jokes the whole time, I think this one mentioned whippersnapper or something. Valeros rushed at the first goblin and turned it into mush with one strike, and after the next round did the same with the other. I took the two lizards they were carrying... you never know.
We walked into the cave and inspected the sleeping straw. Kyra found the chest's key while Valeros kept guard of the hall. In the next room we all put money in the well and got some decent buffs. Valeros, being wary of the voices stood guard in the corridor while the other two checked the room with the gem and the strange light. We all discussed and agreed that we should avoid the red room as it seemed like a trap and our mission was to take on Black Fang. We decided to have another look at it on our way back.
I peaked around the corner to see Goblins arguing with each other. We decided that rushing them was a bad idea as we could not see if there was more of them, so we decided to lure them into the hallway as to fight them all one on one. Valeros shot an arrow at the closest Goblin and hit him in the ear, cutting it off. But the Goblin did not attack, it looked confused and hailed us to come. We heard a voice in broken common saying "come heres, wes got sweet deals for yous!" Not being ready to trust a bunch of Goblins, I shouted back that they should come here... when they refused, I gave them a warning shot of my short bow. This pissed them off and made them attack.
Valeros was holding them off extremely effectively in the hall, so Kyra got bored and decided to lean against the wall. It was going smoothly until King Ratmouth used a fear spell on Valeros, (I rolled a 1 on the resistance to it) making him run away towards the entrance of the cave. This is when s~+* hit the fan. The goblins started pouring in and hit Ezren for some heavy damage. Kyra used an AOE heal which grew back the ear of the goblin. The goblins eventually killed Ezren, making him fall into the fountain.
Once Valeros was back to his senses he rushed back and started killing the Goblins, all but king Ratmouth which we forced to surrender.
In exchange for his life we took all his treasure, got information that Blackfang was a Dragon and where to find it, also that the water nearby was "bad water" and that when his subjects ever went into the room with the ruby they would "go poof!".
We let him go and decided to head straight to Black Fang as this was what we were hired for. I used my grappling hook to get up the wall, we saw the skelletons but avoided their detection... until Ezren came up and dropped some rocks, making the three skelletons attack!
The successfully killed Ezren and then Kyra and Valeros managed to finish them off. We revived Ezren and continued on our way. After a bit of sneaking we managed to see Black Fang and avoid his detection. And then for some reason I attribute to old age, Ezren decided to start telling us his backstory, he just started blabbing away until Black Fang heard us. He approached and told us to come out, I decided to try and talk our way through this since he was bigger than I expected. I tried to persuade him to make his lair somewhere else. He laughed it off and said he found us puny. I told him that if he did kill us, the town would just send more people to take him on I almost convinced him but I lost a diplomacy roll. For some reason I was the one doing all the talking even though I had the lowest diplomacy skill...
He decided to attack. I jumped down from the stairs and slashed down at him, butdid no damage to his scales. We fought at the bottom for a while as Ezren used magic on him and Kyra used buffs. When Ezren did a lot of damage he pulled his attention and shot acid at him, killing him in one strike. Kyra dragged Ezren's body away while I held him off, but he managed to get a bite in and almost killed me with one hit, so I started backing off up the stairs. Once at the top, Kyra started healing me and I landed some good hits in, so we decided to stay there a bit before retreating. We ended up in a bit of a stalemate, no one dealing damage to either. Kyra got bored and started leaning on the wall, and eventually Black Fang got bored and decided to fly away.
Mission complete! We gathered the loot and started making our way out, but taking the opposite hall. At the water, since I had the highest swimming skill I decided to check the chest myself. We checked the chest for magic but forgot to look into the water, so when I started swimming I got attacked by that horrible reef thing. I tried to swim back to the shore, but he got me with a claw and I could not move! Valeros almost died, but Kyra and Ezren managed to kill the beats before that happened. After a heal we continued to the statue... none of us could see anything on it except for a cryptic message about water.
When we got to the room with the spider webs, we all noticed the webs were large and may have been made by a larger creature. Ezren noped right the hell away from there... I lit a torch and threw it at the webs... but since they didn't all ignite as I hoped, I just lit another and started burning them one at a time. We opened the chest as I held guard with 3 webs still remaining. Kyra decided to check the room with the altar now, and after hearing the warning "APPROACH WITH HUMILITY AND LIVE" or something like that. I told him to stop and gave him one f my lizards, telling him to throw one at the altar. He did and everything lit up. But when the fire vanished we noticed the lizard was still unburnt. He decided to crawl and managed to effectively pick up the ruby.
They both crawled their way to the room with the fountain and made their way to the entrance... but Valeros wanted to see what the spider was about. He backed off into the room with the trap and shot arrows at the remaining webs, successfully drawing out the giant spider. Valeros rushed back and crawled under the trap and waited for the spider. As it approached he threw his second lizard onto the trap and activated it, killing the spider. Mission complete!!
I know we being noobs probably took a lot of liberties on the mechanics, but this was honestly a really good time.
With that, I have a few simple questions that I'm sure have been answered plenty, but the amount of info out there is a bit overwhelming so I'm going to ask some specific ones here.
What are some good technological aids that are considered must haves? I tried some apps for character sheets for my phone. I found Pathfinder CS which I'm not sure I understand 100%. Hero Lab looks great but you have to buy the PC one which is 30 bucks. If it's the best thing around I may consider it. For now I'm using mod neceros pathfinder character sheet and it seems good. There's also some online table sheets and stuff so just wonder what you all find a must have.
Thanks for reading!
