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. Azurfael Adlen
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 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.

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?

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.
@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.

Traits: Armor Expert (Reduce armor penalty by 1), Dedicated Defender (When a companion is down add +1 to attack rolls and to overcome spell resistance) Combat Gear: Mw Scale Mail, Mw Spiked Shield-Light, Mw Falcata...
Saving Shield (Combat)
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
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. ~UpS
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
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.
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. 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!
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
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!
