This is a question to those DMs used to using combat maneuvers alongside the hundreds, if not thousands, of feats available online and officially.

How do you keep it all straight? I'm a 2nd edition DM, but I've recently been considering implementing some kind of maneuver type system to my game, and using the d20 system as a very primal prototype on which to base things off of, but I look at a document I have acquired online of approximately 100-200 feats and maneuvers, and I'm intimidated. Big time. How much is too much, and how many is to many where they all start to blur together, or worse, duplicate?

I've considered narrowing them down greatly to like 10 per category or less, but then it feels like a lot of potential character options are denied. What do DMs here feel is a good number of feats/maneuvers to have in your game where you can manage them, keep them all straight, and find that sweet spot where all are useful (and used by the players)? Thanks.


A few of the latest downloads offered in combination with the print versions of Pathfinder books and modules have duplicated in my 'My Downloads' section of my account, including one product 3 times. It doesn't bother me; I just thought I'd bring it to Cosmo's attention for any possible bug testing.


I just added 3 of the 4 PDFs for this series to my cart, but noticed volume 2 of the series is not listed. Any Paizo employee know how I might acquire one? RPGNow is the same deal. 1, 3, and 4 only. Why is 2 so secretive and elusive? ;-)


I love this show. It's right up there with Heroes on my to-watch list. The female terminator sent back in time to protect John is a very interesting character. I kinda wish they could have talked Linda Hamilton into playing Sarah. That would have been great, since John grown up into a teenager would work with the actor they chose for him. Still, the actress they have playing Sarah is talented and fills in well on the show. Some of the tie-ins to the movies are also well done.


I just want to create this thread and offer up a hearty thank you very much to Paizo for allowing me to purchase PDFs of the Complete X handbook series for AD&D. I had a few of them from years past, but just finished off collecting the rest of them, and all I had to do is come to one location. :-)


I received this order tonight from Paizo, but there's an error with it. I was supposed to receive GRR3401 Mansion of Shadows, but instead I received two copies of GRR3403 Dirge of the Damned. Would you like one back in exchange for 3401? Let me know. Thanks.


I just noticed the archives forum is now up, and it's big. Thus, my question. Is there currently a way to hide fora on this website from view? I'd kinda like to make archives hide so it doesn't take up 3/4 of my view screen every time I come here. Most sites have a +/- toggle to allow for collapsing of fora or threads. Any chance of adding this to the site if it's not already available and I've simply overlooked it? I checked under my account settings and don't see a thing there for this. Thanks.


I'm sure once an order leaves Paizo, it's out of your control, but I'm curious if you have an idea what standard shipping times might be? I just received an order for a new Gamemastery deck of cards (great cards btw. Thanks!), and it took 13 days for them to arrive. Now, normally, I don't care how long it takes the mail to arrive, but I literally could have hopped into my car and driven down to Bellevue in an hour from where I live. What do they do, ship Washington state orders for processing to Tallahassee, Florida before sending them here? Heh. It just seems odd that local customers should have to wait almost 2 weeks for an order that I could pick up in one hour. ;-)

What's funny is, I often purchase miniatures from an online vendor in New Jersey, and he sends them to me within 3 days every time, almost as if he were in Everett! Heh.

Thanks for listening.


Hosed By October.

They've done it once again. They killed John from Cincinnati yesterday, one day after its season finale. I am so done with corporate greed and mindlessness. Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, cancellation.

The plus side is I now have more time on Sunday nights for gaming! Thanks HBO!


I purchased several miniatures on May 21st with this order, and it still says the miniatures are pending. Does that mean out of stock? Could someone please look into this for me? Thanks.


Flip-mat ships are something I've been wanting for a while now! I hope to see more styles of ships in the future. Naval combat and warfare is a huge part of our games, so these are long overdue. Thanks Paizo!
