If you do not hear from him in a reasonable amount of time, please contact me directly and I will work to get this taken care of for you.

TYVM I hope it does get handled easily.


Ok I messaged the GM. Lets hope he is still active and willing to help. I was really enjoying the Character.


How do I find the information on the GM and stuff? Sorry I had just gotten involved in Pathfinder Society when all hell broke lose in my life so I am learning alot still.


Hmm here is part of the problem. The games I played in were online in a group I found on the google group, The Pathfinder Society Online Collective. How do I prove I played in a game years ago? Isnt it the GMs job to report who plays in what game and when?


Hello,

I have been away for a couple years from Pathfinder society. I have 2 characters made up and registered from 2014. One of the characters was an Assimar Cleric (Merciful Healer) of Pharasma. I played the character in 1 or 2 scenario's and then had alot of real life problems get in the way of me playing him again. I just went to play him recently in a game and the GM said he is not legal anymore because Assimar are not a playable race unless you get a Boon? Is that correct? Anyway here is my character to see if maybe it was some other problem the GM had and not the Race.

I have always purchased Box sets in the past, some of my fondest gaming memories come from holding them in my hand and unboxing all the roleplaying goodness. Ruins of Undermountain, Dragon Mountain, Drow of the Underdark and so many more are prize possessions to this day for me.

I can understand not wanting to make a Bastardhall module of inferior size, it sounds like something F. Wesley Schneider has poured alot of love into. I still find it hard to believe boxsets don't turn a profit, Id love a custom harrow deck and all the extra trimmings.


I would pity a paladin who had to ride a Pegasus or unicorn as his mount. Poor fella probably lost a bet with someone...

I prefer a good old fashioned Destrier with the best armor and training.. But i am oldfashioned.

Do things really have to be written out word for word or should common sense take precedant? Give the writers a break, they cant possibly come up with every possible way someone can abuse something and if they were to try to the word count would be staggering.


I have been gaming for a long time and lived through the "I am an emo dark elf ranger" or I am a half fiend lolbeast who can eat lava. It was interesting and to a point fun but it got overdone and for a time I couldnt sit down at a gaming table without half the party being Drizzt clones or some absurd race/class/template combo. It is refreshing and inspiring to see the focus on something a little more mondane which in turn makes the unusual and fantastic well... unusual and fantastic.

Note that you don't need a speciffic size of shadow. You could quickdraw and drop slings (free, weightless and a weapon) and make a bunch of shadows on demand.

Are you saying a dropped sling would cause enough of a shadow to allow abilities to function, am I reading you right?


Do you use a template, program (ex Hero Lab) or lay everything out yourself for your statblocks Mjd?


I am making two characters in case a healer is already in a group I plan to join to avoid the two healers problem. All the information I have read is helping immensely and I feel when I step foot into Golarion I will be well prepared to handle whatever my Cleric will face.


Leathert wrote:

Yeah, Sarenrae is probably the archetypical one, my healer has her as his deity. It also works nicely for those times when he gets a bit angry (usually when you insult his goddess), as Sarenrae has her fiery side.

With an aasimar I probably wouldn't choose a racial deity, though one of the Empyreal Lords could be a nice fit, what with them being kind of angel-y as well. There's just so little info on them, it might be a bit difficult to find a catchy one.

Where can I find information on the Empyreal Lords and are they PFS legal as a diety choice?


Wow thanks for all the great information! Definitely a boon to hear from other players of Merciful Healers and it just makes me want to play him more as what you are describing I already envisioned, including the times when I will feel not so useful, but I will fill those times with roleplaying and developing the character (If all goes to plan!).

Here is a question I am struggling with. The Gods so far are not grabbing me and saying, "HEY, You want to worship me and dedicate your life to my causes!". The only one I have seen as interesting is Milani because as a Merciful Healer you have to pick a god who has the healing domain. Can some of the more knowledgeable here suggest other gods who have the healing domain and are PFS legal?

You will be welcomed at every table with joy and elation!

Just make sure that when healing is not necessary that you have other ways to contribute (buffs, summons, etc).

I take it I accomplish this by varying the prayers I have on hand and not just heals 24/7?

So far trait wise Devoted healer is the only thing that has jumped out at me. Are there other traits I should consider? I am building him capable in combat (Aasimar race and not dumping any of his stats) but gearing him for defense with his only weapon being as a in case it is necessary piece of equipment. He will be roleplayed as a healer who does whatever is necessary as per his gods calling.


Would a Merciful Healer be well recieved in a PFS game or is such a focused healer not necessary? I understand all i would be able to do is heal, thats the point. Most games I play I take the role of healer because its fun to me.


I am just trying to follow an image of the character and represent him as best as possible with the numbers. I am also trying to make a character that is useful for PFS so the other players dont lynch me lol.

Thank you for all the input.


@Theconiel Yeah my friend was going to run a 25 point 1 shot I just cut and paste the sheet. I understand that is not PFS legal and it does appear being a half-elf will allow me to play the character I want just slighly modified and the build I have envisioned delayed a couple levels.

Next question would be Saving Shield and Two weapon fighting would be the feats to keep so i am useful in a PFS game correct? I envision him in the heat of combat using his shield to help protect an ally. I go more off concept then the numbers so am terrible at min maxing a character.


As a half-elf I cant have 3 feats at level 1 correct?

Saving Shield (Combat)

Prerequisite: Shield Proficiency.
Benefits: Whenever an adjacent ally is the target of an attack, you can, as an immediate action, grant that adjacent ally a +2 shield bonus to AC. You must be wielding a light shield, heavy shield, or tower shield to use this feat.

This is how I envisioned him for a fairly brutal 1 shot game a friend was going to run. I didnt need the exotic weapon feat because we house ruled if it wasnt exotic the feat wasnt needed(short way of putting it). And please forgive any discrepancies since I am not if sure if this is the final sheet (with all the correct math).


I am thinking about playing in an online game because for various reasons I cant get into a game locally. I think its time for me to try the Pathfinder Society online play and have had a character I have wanted to play for a longtime. The problem is he uses a Falcata and shield (sword and board archetype) which would require the exotic weapon proficiency feat which would delay the build painfully since I hope to take improved shield bash, saving shield and two weapon fighting at level 1. Are there any legal ways, such as a trait, that would allow me to use a Falcata without taking the feat?

I realize this might be foolish but I just have the image of this character stuck in my head and would hate to deviate.

Thank you in advance

TY, I have the Zobeck Gazetteer but didn't think to look in there. Sadly I do not have HeroLab but luckily I have most of the books so with some searching around I should be able to find what I need if I have further problems!


Ok over the holidays all the sales convinced me to buy something I wanted to buy for a while, The Midgard Campaign Setting, and many of the associated material. So far I am enjoying it alot but I have a player who wants to play an Elf who is a specialist in the school of Illumination magic. We found where it mentions the special abilities a specialist gets and it says spells with the Star and Shadow descriptor fall under the Illumination heading. I think shadow spells exist in pathfinder but where do I find Star? Also for my benefit IF I am wrong and Shadow isnt easily found in the Pathfinder books where do I find them as well.

SO in short where do I find spells with the Star or Shadow descriptor for the Midgard Campaign Setting?

Thanks in advance, my player will be very happy to have this information.

I just have to say it because I have not had a chance to in the past. Thank you for allowing us to participate in the crafting of the little slice of heaven that is Pathfinder.


I LOVE the concept of the Cad Archetype for Fighter but me and my group have talked and talked about this and we find it hard to make it viable in a game and not have it just get killed after it tries to throw dirt in someone's face or something along those lines. The Dirty tricks just seem weak and doing one in place of an attack opens yourself up to probably ending up very dead. Has anyone played a Cad in a game and had it survive and actually flourish? what type of game was it (Ex Low powered city game with minimal combat)?

Anyway, Look forward to hearing opinions. Thank you!


With Paizo's gamespace, the future catalog of books to be released and just generally how Paizo treats its players I just can't see D&D next causing any problems from what I have seen of Next. I am part of the numerous playtests and am unimpressed.

So I guess my answer would be to Paizo - KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! Oh and I need lots of money so I can buy more books tehe


4e, or The Pathfinder Beginner box.

/shakes head


I decided to go with the Road atlas Idea. Would give the players a chance to plan and navigate across country like alot of people used to do with the maps in the atlas. I am just going to use population density statistics to plan out how dangerous areas can be on the map and resource availability etc. So far the game is coming along nicely, planning is going easier then I thought it would!

TY for the suggestions!


Hello,

I am taking on a rather large task. I am planning a gritty Zombie horror game using the Reflex system (Twilight 2013). Players will be attempting to safely make their way across the United States and not get killed by any number of dangers the least of which will be of course Zombies. Most of the game is coming along wonderfully but I am having trouble finding a detailed enough map of the United states with a Hex grid over it. Does anyone have one of these or can recommend where I can find one?

Anyway looking forward to hopefully some help in this area because I am very stuck. Without the map I cant plan things for our groups desperate trek across the US.


I tend to go more free form and cinematic with underwater combat but I do have a mat I pull out every once and a while to plot combat kinda like Shaun does.

Cinematic just feels more appropriate since the two main focuses for underwater combat are killing what you are fighting and not running out of air, usually. I just try and make sure players don't take too many unusual actions that wouldn't normally be allowed in combat per turn with cinematic.


Yeah, I was going to ask why you are fighting an "Ally". Might take more effort then finding a simple one trick pony to kill it if its a GM plot npc of some sort.


Can't wait, didn't get in on the Kickstarter because well.. Didn't know about it! But doting to follow in the future and look forward to the new book!


Dotting to follow - Always love a good Ravenloft/Mistfinder game


This is the main way I currently deal with games or players who want to play a Vampire in a game. It is done by a company called Necromancers of the Northwest and it is a FREE PDF.

Liber Vampyr

It includes rules on how to play Vampires as an advancing class all their own of sorts. It is divided into Melee Themed, Arcane and I believe Divine.

And thanks for pointing out the upcoming product to be released in October. Definitely WANT!


Hope all is well and know that I am waiting for the announcement of its release to instantly purchase Amethyst Renaissance. Amethyst + Pathfinder rule set = Perfection to me!


Hmm this is a toughy. Over the years I have had many favorites because my tastes change as new artists and music are introduced or discovered. I will attempt to list 10 current favorites because I have always had problems following directions! These are listed in NO particular order of preference...

1. Unwound
2. Songs:Ohia/Magnolia Electric Co
3. Bonnie "Prince" Billie AkA Will Oldham
4. The Cure
5. Victory at Sea
6. Death Cab for Cutie/The Postal Service
7. The Album Leaf
8. Pinback
9. Portraits of Past
10. Minutemen


Doting this thread

Can't wait for Renaissance!


Did this campaign Die before it started? NooOooO I wanted to see how this developed!


I sent you a private message, Lucendar. If it isn't allowed I do look forward to following this game. Sounds intriguing!


Ill have to bow out then and just watch from the sidelines since I am interested in the game concept but had my heart set on a Fusilier.


Ok Ill whip something up and have it posted by this evening. I am going to make a Fusilier which is a Super Genius games alt Base class for the Gunslinger. Its from their Ultimate Options: Grit and Gunslingers guide.


Are all slots taken? I have never taken part in a PbP but I am very interested in the concept and can whip up a character probably fairly easily.


REALLY, REALLY looking forward to the release of this.


Thanks for the response! And yes I do plan to ask my group to chip in a little cash because they are the reason I am mainly getting this. They like things they can make characters and print out pretty character sheets and I need it to help me run the games so its a win win!


I am not sure if its a good idea to ask this here or what but I am interested in purchasing Hero Lab for my Pathfinder Games. Problem is I can't get a figure on how much it would cost TOTAL to purchase Hero Lab and all the source material for Pathfinder. Can anyone help me with that figure so I can see if my wallet would survive that epic endeavor =o)


Just throwing my hat in. This is an amazing program and will be using this for my Carrion Crown group which is the first AP/Group game I have ran in years.

Thank you so much and look forward to watching this continue to grow. Oh and expect a donation as soon as my wallet stops smoking from the Christmas holiday lol!


I have a friend who has created a first level Priest of Aroden and has a great idea about how to roleplay the loss of his god etc. He wants to brainstorm with me about his characters future and would love to make one of his characters long term goals be focused around discovering what happened to Aroden and as such would love to take the Celestial Disciple PrC part of the hole growth process. Problem is it's 3.5 and taking a look at how Dragon Disciple was converted I was hoping one of the masters of conversion might have already done this or can help me out.

Any idea how to bring the Celestial Disciple into the Pathfinder Age?

Sorry if this is a bit hastily written. I am just psyched at how enthusiastic my player is! Any help is much appreciated!
