Can this alchemical skill be used on; arrows, sling bullets etc or ONLY on firearms ammunition?

If for example; as a wizard you want to cast an heightened spell in a rank 2 slot, do you need have the rank 1 version of the same spell in your spellbook?

If you have PF1 PC’s for PFS, can these be converted to play in PF2 PFS games?

Are strength bonuses when halved …. Rounded up or down?

Given the origins of this spell, are you able to move just with you feet in contact with the incline or vertical surface or does there need to be 3 points of contact?

For reasons of privacy, we don't list every Venture Captain's contact information anywhere. If you'd like to get in touch with your local organization (for you that would be the Isles region), I recommend finding the relevant Regional Venture Coordinator on the Regions page and reaching out to them.

Thanks

Some time back I was able to find a contact list of local PFS Capt's & Lt's.
Is this list still online?
If so please can someone send me a link?
I'm in the UK BTW. THX

When using Hunter's Aim, does a firearm count as a ranged attack weapon?

You can focus on a different target instead this turn, if one exists. You still wouldn't be able to Strike the original target without having to use that bad roll, but at least you'd be able to affect someone else.

If it's really important to you that you deal some amount of Strike damage to your target this turn, you can just eat the bad roll by Striking the target, applying the roll's result, then Striking the target again, which would this time let you make a new attack roll.

All of which is to say:...

If you STRIKE another opponent with your 1st STRIKE of the round; are you at full TH bonus, albeit you had checked your DAS vs another opponent?

OK, you make your roll for DAS you roll poorly and are convinced you're not going to hit with an Attack Stratagem or succeed in a meaningful Skill Stratagem.

So, can you decide to opt not to use DAS this round and instead eg. make 3 melee attacks. So, your 1st melee attack will be at your full attack bonus.

or having opted not to use DAS your next attack is at -5?

This takes two actions for one precise attack,

But, if you take another attack with your 3rd action is that attack at a -5 or -10 penalty?

Yes a nice add-on you think you're adding a bit of flavour, but things can can horribly wrong!

D&D (but could occur in exactly the same way in PF) - I had a player roll a 1 (d20 vs a Kobold) followed by a miss confirm then (on d100) 00, on the fumble table (crit self) then 00 on the following Crit table (Foe (ie himself) dies instantly you are +3Th/Dm for 10 rounds)....The chances of rolling the two 00's alone in a row is 1in10000! We laughed a plenty though.

Thanks for advice, have to say I didn't think that would insult anyone as the use of the phrase "newbie" didn't insult me. But NP sorry for that point taken.

A critical hit means that you roll your damage more than once, with all your usual bonuses, and add the rolls together.

The phrase above says to me you roll the extra dice and then add your bonuses. I don't read that your bonuses are multiplied.

But that's the beauty of RPGs, is the variant ways they can be played.

Well 7 years or not it keeps the discussion in one thread and I would imagine some people weren't playing PF IN 2010 and crits and fumbles are an endless discussion.

Yes I play RM too. So did design a comprehensive set of fumble tables for; one handed, two handed, bows, thrown, mounted arms and natural weapons (for D&D but could easily be used in PF).
Usual thing natural 1 then a confirm roll that if lower than your TH roll then you fumble. Very funny but have gone back to just a fumble being you miss that and your next attack; because the tables had a tendency to screw the players over quite badly.

I always see "Rulebooks" as guides only.
The PFCRB is unclear on how to calculate damage on crits. Although the powergame
stance seems to hold sway here I'd go with multiplying damage dice and add the bonuses, even if a rules reprint said otherwise and I'm sure other Refs would go with multiplying the dice and the bonuses regardless.
Have to say I like the idea of having a confirm roll per multiplier.

Well: Now that we've all had a couple of weeks to recover, it seemed to me to be about time to get a thread for the fourth annual PaizoCon UK posted, PaizoCon UK 2012.

This will, of course, be the highlight of the British summer in 2012, although apparently there may be some kind of 'olympic' event going on at the end of July/start of August... ;)

And although I guess it's a bit early than PCUK 2012 would be there is also the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Celebrations 1st week of Jun 12.

Also I live in central B'ham so I'm happy to offer my help if needed

I live in central Birmingham and came to the event in 2010. So if you need any help on the local admin front I'm more that happy to help. If you have not firmly booked the location as yet there are some decent venues that are a short walk from the town centre, train & bus stations.
