Are you no longer your own ally?

your absolutely right it is usable mechanically but I would rather not use 3 actions to perform it. The other paladin players who play tested also used Lay On Hands only when not in combat due to the action requirements.

I would like to echo Laik on this one on the playtest (dooms day Dawn prt1) I played it seem like I was being punished for trying to use this class ability in combat and when the competition for Warded Touch is Deity's Domain that grants an extra spell point I regretted taking Warded Touch almost immediately. I think the loss of an action is ok but the inability to use it with a two handed weapon or a shield (unless you are just using a shield) is rough.

Hello may I suggest contacting some of your venture officers in the region as well as checking out Warhorn (sfs is listed) for your area.

For clarification will the Bonus Wealth boon also benefit GMs?

Wow I like it and hope that it becomes PFS sanctioned. I really like the module especially its difficulty can't wait to play/ GM it.

Also its my favorite flavor... FREE!

Congrats on the 5th star Feral with all the games you have done on PBP and Siege of the Diamond City event, I wish you the best!

You can move the location of the coins to "Dropped to ground" and that will take the weight of the coins off.

Do you want murder Hobos? Because that's how you get murder hobos.

I would suggest at least skimming through the Guide to Organized Play so that you grow accustomed to some of PFS "house rules"

Guide to PFS Play

Also try to contact a nearby Venture Officer list they should be more than willing to help you build your character and introduce you to your future party members.

Finally PFS is held into seasons it is currently season 8 to get a brief spoiler free summery of the last seasons read This

I hope this helps :)

edit: Also feel free to stop by the PFS forums and say HI!

Hello James Jacobs I have a couple of questions regarding The Sisters of the Golden Erinyes! So how "nun" like are they being called devil nuns also what monk vows would they gravitate to if any and would any other classes be associated with them other than monks?

Finally given that they helped "rescue" the orphans of Isger during the goblin blood wars will they be featured in the upcoming Iron Fang AP?

Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions!!!

Out of curiosity what are your thoughts on a ninja/ unchained monk (scaled fist) combo, also if going dex based would unchained rogue be better ?

edit: also thanks for the helpful guide!

Now we just have guess which one. My money's on Drandle Dreng.

I, for one, welcome our new cabbage smelling overlord.

I would enjoy playing The Volcano

I too will make an alias for this game.

PFS# 116404-22
Name: Apple the Druid

Speed will be normal and will be future credit

Thanks in advanced DM Feral.

Mind if I join ?

this exists from Inner Sea NPC Codex, not amazing and could use some work but a good foundation.

Hello Rob McCreary I am contemplating making a paladin of Kehpri. From what I gathered Kehpri is worshiped mostly by peasants and aids those who work.

So my question is what advice could you give me about what a paladin of The Humble Hand would do when not smiting or typical views on their duty? Also how rare or common would a paladin of Kehpri or another Ancient Osirion be?

Thanks for taking the time to read this and hopefully given your workload answer.

I have no advice; I'm not familiar enough off the top of my head about Kehpri and how we presented the deity in Pathfinder since I wasn't directly involved with Mummy's Mask (which is where I'm assuming this question is coming from?).

Thanks for taking the time to respond James Jacobs! looks like I'm off to ask Rob McCreary.

Hello I am your sixth person and thanks for having me I am planning on bringing an Inquisitor archer (lvl4) will post in character when I have the character updated on site!

Player Name: Paul W
Character Name: Adrasteia Emberleaf
PFS #:116404-17
Class//Levels: Inquisitor (sanctified slayer)
Faction: Silver crusade
Initiative: +8
Perception:+11
Sense Motive:+9
Languages spoken: Common And Elven
Character's mother's maiden name: Lyria Emberleaf
Day Job: N/A

I am running a table in the special Blood under Absalom for tier 3-4 (standard), and had one player fail to check-in.

So, I will take one more, if someone needs a space. First one to respond here can have it. We have only just started introductions, so you will be right on time.

Sounds awesome does the party have any needs?

Everyone loves cake.

I would like to regretfully withdraw

Hello I would like to express interest in this as well I have a few characters who qualify for the lower end of the tier.

Anyone blowing an AWT feat just to get 2 skill points is kind of crazy. There's so much better things to get...like Warrior Spirit. Esp since you're going to have to wait until level 10 for a Lore Warden to get your next one.

The skilled Martial classes are Vigilante, Stalker, and Ranger.

Ranger for PFS is probably ideal for you, if for nothing else then you can easily use CLW wands. FE HUman, Undead and Evil Outsiders will take you through most modules pretty well.

well its a lot more than just 2 skill points and far better than things such as deceitful, skill focus and others. Also in a PFS game you never know what you are going to get. You can be sitting with a bard band table one session in a combat scenario and playing with team 7 int, cha, wis barbarian group in a wedding scenario.

The other thing is that a fighter will almost always be able to contribute in a fight. Skill points allow the fighter to contribute in those wedding, dinner socials, and funerals and help the party towards success in more than one way.

Another good dip for gunslingers can be inquisitor (with the right archetype/inquisitions) so that you can do more than just damage and allows you to use wisdom not only for grit but for cha based skills, int, and a few other things. Of course this is if you are not sold on mysterious stranger.

Another thing about the fighter is that in my history in PFS sunder usually ends up being game breaking or near useless (as in fighting a no weapon monster) and tripping falls off in later lvls if not totally invested. Also if you do go the sunder route I would highly suggest having the sunder rules along with the hardness chart nearby or on hand.

so here is the thing inspire competence is a level tax which is applied on top of a very steep 3 feat tax (I mean improved int is ok I guess) which is applied to a very high attribute tax (dex rogue, con because you don't like dying, cha for bard stuff, int is now used to determine dc for skills with the class) which is applied to a 16 skill tax.

The worst part is Inspire competence is overshadowed by the private one your giving yourself (oh and it requires the subject to hear you). Also from what I can see you may still have to spend a standard action to activate your performances.

On top of this you are taking a penalty to your BAB which the prestige class expects you to be in combat and perfect strike requires a charge on a flat footed for or spring attack (another 3 feats). Also you end any hopes of spell progression.

The Deadly Courtesan may be a good build up for the class but requires a boon for PFS.

So I was wondering if anyone actually has a decent (non skill monkey) Lion Blade build or ideal the bard/rogue/Lion Blade seems like a really terrible build with the mass penalties to the bab and no spell casting progression. I think the inspire competence requirement is probably the biggest downside to the PRC.

I believe BNW is correct on the issue. Also see the two handed fighter discussions as I think they have similar wording and results.

so what happens when people fail at "easy mode"?

oppose all.

Fingers crossed for Shohiraj!!!

" Additionally, you receive a 5% discount on all nonmagical merchandise in your area of expertise when purchasing it in the same city as your shop, rounded to the nearest gold piece."

seems kinda cut and dry that it only applies to the owning character. Now you can hand them the 19gp fire so that they may use it (it is still bought and paid for by you) but ultimately the discount only applies to the owner of the boon.

how about

Build contacts in a city of over 5k or more. This requires 25gp per character lvl to be spent as bribes, blackmail , or acquiring stocks. Once the gold is spent the character must attempt a slight of hand, profession (any), diplomacy or stealth check.

and replacing showmanship.

whisper in an ear
once per scenario you may use your profession check modifier on a single knowledge check.

also please change tycoon as of now it is one of the worst final faction bonuses.

the underhanded part was the intimidate an example
offer he can't refuse

while the profession merchant is more of the legal(ish) way another example.

its a bit technical

Faction goals from the guide pg18.

Increase the faction’s economic power
by establishing trading partnerships, expanding the
faction’s network of businesses, and undermining rivals.

from the faction card

The Exchange seeks to rule the markets of the Inner Sea. The Exchange’s board of directors merges the independent wealth of Qadiran merchant-nobility and the resourceful cunning of Sczarni smugglers. There are countless ways to earn a fortune, and the Exchange rewards Pathfinders for any number of them. Not all of the Exchange’s dealings are legal or even honorable. Members of the Exchange often must choose between an aggressive approach and a more reputable one, and those choices help to shape the faction’s practice

You actually can with two completed objectives on the exchange faction journal card.

That faction card sucks if you don't specifically build your character to complete the objectives. I have one of my characters in the Exchange because I thought it fit his personality. Now every time I sit at a table with him I ask if anyone still has a season 6 faction card so that I can get actually get a faction card that I can complete (at a discount--I'd rather have "no faction" than pay full price to switch).

so what your saying is that you joined a faction because it fit your character but since the free card that comes with it provides you with no mechanical bonus now you want to join a new faction?

I have heard that Drandle Dreng is making a bacon golem to fight the cabbage golem that he was making in the Wounded Wisp

It is a six person group not including two animal companions.

Bear in mind

I see what you did there

I did like the flavor of the season 4 boons but not the execution the magnitude of power offered by the boons was great and had almost zero ramifications. In fact a lot of the people took them just because of the power factor.

While I would like to see "evil" boons more I think that they should be undoubtedly evil in both the way you acquire them and the penalties (such as having to spend the resurrection price if you die with the symbol of evil dude x on your forehead).

to answer the question.

1)at first yes but upon realizing that they were taken just for the power factor no.

2) yes mainly because I thought it would help with the mission now its just a really good boon.

3)see rant above.

4).... blalbaljragjajra

this made me laugh thank you.

If Tom is standing in an area of magical darkness, he cannot see Jerry. Per this FAQ. Of course, Jerry cannot see him either.

If Tom is standing in an area of Obscuring Mist or Fog Cloud, they can both see each other with Concealment, not Total Concealment) because there is only 5' of mist between them (counting Tom's square of mist).

If Tom is standing in normal non-magical darkness and has made a Stealth check, he can see Jerry just fine and Jerry cannot see him. Attacking will break his stealth so Jerry will now see him unless the darkness is pitch black in which case Jerry still cannot.

As for using the ranged rules to draw lines to see if any concealment applies, when Tom chooses a corner, none of his lines to Jerry's four corners passes through the concealing effect, but when Jerry chooses a corner, two of the lines that reach Tom's FARTHEST corners pass through the concealing effect so Jerry is affected by the Concealment, Tom is not.

That is incorrect on some of your points. The concealment rules state "When making a melee attack against an adjacent target, your target has concealment if his space is entirely within an effect that grants concealment." Jerry would get no concealment from an adjacent melee attack. For a ranged attack or an attack with a reach weapon when Tom chooses the corner closest to Jerry and draws lines from that corner to all of Jerry's corners none of those lines pass through a concealed square or border of those squares. concealment rules- "To determine whether your target has concealment from your ranged attack, choose a corner of your square. If any line from this corner to any corner of the target's square passes through a square or border that provides concealment, the target has concealment."

Except the OP stipulated 10' using reach weapon. This uses the Ranged rules.

Umm he is the op

how so? For ranged attacks, your square isn't going to be included in the lines you draw or distance, so concealment wouldn't be included into the factor. against melee against an adjacent foe not in concealment his square is not in a concealment effect.

Yep going to have to agree with BNW on this one.

Hello Mr. Seifter I have a rules question for you. if a creature is in an area that provides concealment, does it attacking out of that area into an area that have no concealment give the attacker a miss chance?

Pregen ninja is my personal favorite!

I would suggest visiting this local

also I would suggest visiting the warhorn site and registering ahead of time games are usually set up a few days before the week starts and are held on Monday and Thursdays.
