Just wondering, why is it SO hard to find players to play face to face with?

I have been looking on Meet-ups, here, Discord, and fliers in game stores (What game stores I have in my area and ones that will let me post fliers.

If I want to play online, no issue, but for the past 3 years I have looked and looked and cannot find people who want to play face to face (When their is no major outbreak of pandemic)

Anyone got ideas, sites that work to find players?

I am in Colorado and SO frustrated!

BTW, prefer PF1 vs PF2 but will play PF2

Looking for a face to face group in the Northern Colorado area. After 14 years, my group has finally broken totally up.

Looking for PF1, but will consider PF2

in the Loveland regions. I have been playing since 1979, my husband since 2006

My players want to start a business in a town. But the issue is, how much does it cost? There are tons of rules on building, but it involves BP.

How much is a BP in gold? I saw a rule once on a site, but cannot locate it and the cost seems astronomical (An Inn was like 10,000GP which would mean, no one could ever build an Inn.

So, what is the cost in gold of 1 BP be it an Inn, a Blacksmith, Weaponsmith, trader house, tavern, brothel? etc...

Anyone have alternate rules for Teleportation?

I find it annoying their is almost no chance of failure using the spell. I have had players in the past that Teleport into a place and out after a simply scrying (This was done by a guy who ran PFS events for Paizo) and almost no chance of failure.

I read someone uses DC check, but even that if you have a player who is Min-Maxing can be hard to stop them always getting to Point A to Point Z with no issue.

I am not against Teleport, just against it being so easy to have no consequences and totally accuracy.

In One of the Pathfinder books, there was an optional rule that said something like at 1/4 loss of total hit points you take a -2 to hit and damage. At 1/2 you take a -4 to hit and damage and at 3/4 you take...

What book and page is that? I cannot find it and know I read it

Thanks in advance

Can a Druid wildshape or become an elemental while grappled?

Example. Lets say that a Druid is in humanoid form and is then grappled by a creature or even a spell. Would they be aple to wildshape into something smaller or to an elemental to escape?

Would they still take an AO or still need to break the grapple?

I'd say they would still have to break grapple.

Please clarify and if this in in the books, what page is it on?

Thanks

Looking through the Bestiary 3 the Demilich says the first thing it will do is it's Banshee's wail, The DC is 24, But how much damage does it do? It is not listed. If it is based on it's HD then it would do 150 points of damage. It could also affect 15 creatures as the spell Wail of the Banshee affects 1 creature per HD.

AM I correct to say this is how much damage it does and to how many creatures?

I see the range of it as 20 feet, where as the spell is 25 feet +5 ft per 2 levels.

Hi All. We have a highly experienced Pathfinder group who also plays Star Wars Saga on occasion that is seeking 1 maybe two players depending. We play in North Loveland, CO every other Saturday, two times a month, and take a summer break in June - August. We start gaming near 2pm and end sometime near 10pm, later if things are rolling and cannot stop.

We sit down, have an awesome meal that everyone contributes items for the making. Food can range from BBQ burgers, to as fancy as Bacon wrapped Turkey. Of course home made pizza is always a favorite.

We do expect players to be there since the 5 of us plan to be there and schedule time around it. If work happens on occasion to take control of lives, well, we try to make the game up the following week and do 2 games in a row (Always Saturday)

The group is very experienced but do not let that frighten you. We love great role play, character development, and lots of fun.

All 5 of us are professional people who work and love to game on our free time, and we expect others that join us to be as well. Nothing more annoying than someone who says they will be there then are not.

Once again, this is a fun group and we are open to all Pathfinder players new or old, male or female, elf, or half-orc (As long as they bath) who wish to have fun, and be a part of the group. Many of us have known each other for many long years and have gamed together for many long years and have been playing in one long running campaign, and one newly started campaign

So do not delay, launch us an arrow with a message on it to myself (Delaney at delaneyalysa at comcast dot net) or to Bryan master_eji at yahoo dot com

Lets say a Barbarian, uses invisibility to sneak into a group of say 18 enemies. He then attacks one of the enemies and become visible again as per the spell. Could he on his next turn activate the ring again and continue this each round?

Seems very unbalanced if he could. A spell caster at least has to cast the spell and may get hit doing it and thus lose his spell. He also may be limited in how many times he can cast it.

If you provoke an attack of opportunity by someone with sneak attack, would you take sneak attack damage?

Is there a PF book that deals with random magic things happening kind of like Wild magic in past D&D games?

An area where a spell could go haywire and do something bad or really good.

We are looking for a couple of players for our group. We have lost some do to job relocation.

We play every other Saturday in North Loveland from 2PM to 10ish and always have an awesome meal.

The group is very mature with over 100 years of combine experience

If your interested let me know. It's a great group that loves good RP and fun

The game is to take a headline and story that is real into a funny false headline and story

Here is the real one,

ANGERY BEAVER ATTACKS RUSSIAN MAN

Here is the false one

BEIBER ATTACKS IN BELARUS
OSTROMECHEVO, Belarus -- The fan wanted her photo shot with the Beiber. The Beiber had other ideas: He attacked the 60-year-old woman with razor-sharp teeth, slicing an artery and causing her to bleed to death.

It was the most serious in a string of Beiber attacks on fans in Belarus, as the pop-star has turned increasingly aggressive when confronted by fans after wandering near homes, shops and schools.

"The character of the wound was totally shocking for us medical professionals," recalled village doctor Leonty Sulim. "We had never run into anything like this before."

The fan, who has not been named at the request of her family, was driving with friends toward the Shestakovskoye lake, west of the capital, Minsk, when she spotted the Beiber along the side of the road and stopped the car. As she tried to grab the pop-star, he bit her several times. One of the bites hit a major artery in the leg, according to Sulim.

The woman's friends were unable to stop the blood from spouting, and she was pronounced dead when she arrived at Sulim's clinic in the village of Ostromechevo.
She is the only person known to have died from a Beiber attack in Belarus.

This could be interesting.

Our group is shrinking

Players have had to move away because of jobs. We lost 2 a month ago and losing another shortly. Help us Pathfinder players/Alternity gamers, your our only hope

We play every other Saturday in North Loveland. We start at about 2pm and play until 10 and sometimes much later. We are a fun group with 3 of us having been playing since before or right when 1st ed was released. We love RP, good mature people and we have good food we all cheap in to make.

Females are highly welcome as are couples.

If your interested and a series gamer email me

The Northern Colorado Adventures guild is looking for 1 player maybe 2 depending on the situation (couple)

We play Pathfinder and Alternity two times a month in Northern, CO (Loveland) We start at 2pm and play to 10ish sometimes latter.

This is a very mature group with well over 100 years of combined gaming (5 people)

If you are interested, please let me know. This is a great group that has a lot of fun and laughs and good food.

We do have rules that everyone must abide by and those rules are written by this group.

One thing I love doing for my gaming group is celebrating birthdays and getting them a cake.

It was a big hit the first one we did just over a year ago and with each member we have done one (well those that stuck around for their birthday we did)

The first one was a smash hit and the guy it was for said it was the nicest cake anyone had ever done for him. His wife was jealous but happy and got me a cake for my birthday after she found out that I had had one. I have each members birthday and we try to celebrate on the game before their birthday but sometimes we are late (like this next one but only by less than 1 session)

Anyways, here are pics of 3 of the cakes. The first I lost as they where on my phone and it crashed and the photos got lost. it had the PF Ettin on it with the 4 icon minis. The place that did it, did an awesome job. They made it even look like the ettin was wounded

Here are some of the pics

Pirates Cake 1 My Cake my BF did for me

Pirates Cake 2 Front

Dragon CakeDragon

Giants Cake 1 Giant cake top

Giants Cake 2 Giant side

On the giants cake I used minis to represent each member of that campaign using a mini that was as close to the character as I could. The situation in the cake has not happened, nor may never happen, but it is something that could happen

I'm playing a druid in a short adventure. She was 10th level and is now 11. She is 1/2 elf though I don't think it matters much what race she is.

What stats do you use when you transform into an animal like a bear, or an eagle or an earth elemental.

I understand she can be Huge, but do you use the stats of an a dire bear? or an earth elemental in the bestiary? Trying to find out so when it comes to a fight what I can do.

She has a bear companion and in many respects he is tougher than she is with his claw, claw, bite, bite

Thanks

Saw this movie on Sunday. What a fun movie. Full of good laughs, action and fun make-up. The scenery was nice too.

You get lines like "The Curse of the hunger to eat crawling things. I hate that one"

Let the Girls go your i'll spalter your blood all over their hillbilly A***"

This is going to be a closed casket.

Some may not like it, some may not get the plot, but the plot is easy to grasp if you just listen and watch.

Each witch was individual and at least their wants are unique unlike Harry P which are just twisted sticks.

Granted the weapons are far fetched, but once again it is a fun movie.

I actually want this one on DVD when it comes out it was so fun.

Anyone here playing GW2? Got it this week and I am liking it. Best thing free to play.

Was wondering about creating a Pathfinder guild on it.

I am on Isle of Janthir and have 3 characters
A Ranger (not sure I like her)
Morannya Ravenwing my Necro low level at 2 or 3 human
Arylana Boldtalon 8th level Norn Warrior

In one of our games we came across the spell book of a wizard that was dead. Sadly none in the party can use it as we have a sorcerer, and a witch.

So the question is, how much is it worth? I figured as a witch I might at least trade it in for scrolls of spells I can use to teach my pet.

4th - Detect Scrying, Locate Creature, Remove Curse, Scrying
3rd - Arcane Sight, Clairaudience/clairvoyance, secret page, tongues, Summon Monster III
2nd - Detect thoughts, flaming sphere, locate object, resist energy, see invisibility, summon monster II
1st Cause fear, comprehend languages, detect secret doors, detect undead, disguise self, identify, protection from evil, protection from law, true strike, magic missile

See here, C6 and P6? There is no data.
Yeah but it won't add up
That's because 0+0 = what?
No fix it it is not suppose to do that.
Look Cell Q6 =SUM(C6:P6) Now look this cell C6 nothing there. See P6? Nothing there. =SUM(C6:P6) adds them together. Nothing = Nothing
OH!

As I bury my head in my hands

Has Paizo ever thought about releasing a 12 month calendar for the year with their art in it? I know many many years ago TSR and early WotC did as I used to buy them.

I know I'd buy one if they did.

Androids are not a living creature like the other normal playable races. It is an animate object much like a golem or construct. So how do Cure spells work on them? It seems to me a mend spell would be better suited to them. or maybe a shocking grasp that makes the nano tech heal.

I mean seems to me if you can use a cure spell on them, you might as well cure a golem or even a broken chair

What does everyone else thing

If a mend spell how would that work on them?

In death, the graveknight’s life force lingers on in its armor, not its corpse, in much the same way that a lich’s essence is bound within a phylactery. Unless every part of a graveknight’s armor is ruined along with its body, a graveknight can rejuvenate after it is destroyed. A typical suit of full plate graveknight armor has hardness 10 and 45 hit
points, though armor with enhancements or made of special materials proves more difficult to destroy. Merely breaking a graveknight’s armor does not destroy it; it must be ruined, such as by being disintegrated, taken to the Positive Energy Plane, or thrown into the heart of a volcano.

So here is the question. The party killed a Graveknight took him down fast due to many critical hits. One party member took the armor. Now in my world just because you pulled armor off a dead person does not mean it fits you, especially when the character that took it is 6'2" and the graveknight was 6'

The party member is a blacksmit and is refitting the armor per his profession. What will happen? The characters never detected evil on the armor after they killed the Graveknight. What happens to the armor? What happens to the guy wearing the armor?

It clearly says it must be destroyed to kill the graveknight

Our game group used to be Home brew only, that was back when PF just came out hard cover. before that we where a 3.5 Home brew group. We initially had 2 DM's (myself and 1 other) that would switch off DMing after every 4 - 6 sessions typically. We got another guy in the group that DM'd and shortly after are other main DM left. The new DM decided to Run Kingmaker and it was not to long another person joined that DM'd. The DM playing Kingmaker left the group because of martial issues (We would not baby sit her 2 young children so she could go shop and he could play every 2 weeks). The other DM decided to run Serpent Skull and we had gotten almost through Book 2 in Kingmaker when that DM left and then just to book 3 when the other DM left for medical reasoning. I at this point decided to run CC just so I could have things prepared quickly to game. We got in 2 more players that DM's (both still with us) and another that just left us for employment reasonings (Yeah we are a meat grinder to people leaving) One New DM ran 1 book of Jade, The other up into Book 3 of LoF and the one that just left 2/3 through Shackles.

After playing though parts of KM, SS, CC, LOF, JR, S&S I think we have found every AP to be predictable and admit ably not that rewarding to this gaming group. What AP's offer is a quick way to run a game with little to no prep. BUT there is no choice to what PC's can do, if the PC's decide they don't want to open the magic artifact scroll that will destroy the world and sell it, then the AP ends and the game becomes home brew and the DM's would rather run their own adventure in their own worlds.

We also found AP's are killers. if you take 4 players at 15 pt buy there is no way you can live. Especially when you have 6 players with 4d6 drop the lowest getting killed easily even when played smart and not Min-Maxed.

After this last partial AP I think our group has decided Home brew games will be are meat and potato's. The home brew tends to offer more RP, better character immersion and makes the players feel they are more a part of the adventure than AP's. Since a Home brew is far more sandbox offering players a greater selection on what to do. They can go where they want, when they want and a DM can flow ith it much easier, though with a lot more work.

So what is your opinion on AP's vs Home brews? How does your group handle them and what do you as a player/DM prefer?

Played the Demo and being a huge fan of the original Microprose game I must admit I love the new version. Same game play style just improved a ton.

They add some customization to shoulders looks which is fun and the ability to design your base. You also have to decide which missions to take. Help the US and get scientists to help and let Asia go or help Asia get money but US falters. Every choice has an positive/negative

I am looking forward to playing on Oct 9th

We are having this discussion on our groups forum about Role playing within PF and I'd like outside feedback on it. Hern ole boy (not really old) you will know who this is as I just referenced a character you play.

Do you feel Pathfinder and most every other RPG out there to be a ROLE playing game meaning not just do you take on the role of a fighter, paladin, wizard, cleric, rouge, etc but how much ROLE Playing occurs in the game?

Instead of role playing out the actions you do like trying to talk the leader of the of the kingdom for need information you roll dice to gain it. There are no mechanics in the game that add bonuses for a person that does a great job. Instead you shove the bard to the front as he usually has the best diplomacy and let him just roll his dice and maybe everyone else assists. This actually is not role playing but Roll playing. There are no mechanics in the game to "Reward" someone for great role playing. The guy across the table who just sits and waits for the fight gets the same experience points for the person that really plays his character well.

I do not see this as a flaw just in PF, it was there in 3.0/3.5 just as much and even more so in 4.0. Back in 1st ed you had no rolls for diplomacy or sense motive and I think it pushed players to role play more than they do today.

The player that tried to role play a fight is actually penalized more than the guy that just gets up in the BBEG face and starts to duke it out. Hero Points seems people horde them after getting them with each level saving at least 2 in case they die and they use HP to stabilize. There is no mechanics once again for handing them out beyond DM call and using them randomly to help the player. Good Role Playing should give HP to fudge a dice roll but then again we get back to ROLL playing not role playing.

Personally I like to reward characters extra XP for shared journals, great character backgrounds, great Role playing, great random use of skills, ect, but once again there are no rules for this and most DM's fall to ROLL playing once again.

So what do you all feel? How can it be fixed in the system to reward players to ROLE play and not ROLL Play?

I'd like to hear Paizo's 2 pieces of eight worth on this too.

Thanks in advance.

So I noticed one HUGE flaw in S&S and the ranks on the ship. Someone did not do their research with pirate ships

Captain - The Captain of the Pirate ship is voted to that position. His rank and title only are valid when pursuing an enemy ship and attacking an enemy ship or fort. He could be replaced at anytime. Harrigan has the title and at ANY time the crew could turn against him, especially if he did not produce and in 20 days the game I am in the crew is getting tired of no ship action.

Quartermaster - The real leader of the ship. He was voted in after the captain. He commands the ship and decides where it is going with a vote from the crew and maintains order and discipline and distributes the food and other needed items. Plugg technically has this role not grok. By calling Grok this she has higher rank than Plugg and Scourge

Sailing Master - In charge of navigation and sailing the ship. Looked after the maps and instruments. Scourge should be in this role

Boatswain - Supervised the maintenance of the ship and it's supply stores. he inspected the ship, sails and rigging every morning. he was in charge of all deck activities handling of the sails, dropping and weighing anchor and reported to the Captain - Grok should be in this role

Carpenter and Surgeon - In charge of maintenance and repairs to the ship, masts and yards. Worked under the master and boatswain. He checked the hull regularly. Often times he also served as a surgeon on the ship. Sandra at least Surgeon

Master Gunner - In charge of the ships guns and ammo and repaired the guns also sifted the powder to keep it from clumping

Mate - On large ships they had many hence the title first mate who had rank of the mates. Apprentice to Ships master, Boatswain, Carpenter and gunner. Took care of fitting of the ship, making sure they had all the ropes pulleys, sails and rigging that might be needed. Hoisted the anchor

Able Body Sailor - Backbone of the ship had to know rigging, furl and release of sails, steer the ship and applying it to navigation, read the skies, weather, wind, the moods of the officers

Rigger - Sailor assigned to work aloft in the rigging's and to furl and release the sails. By far the most dangerous job NOTE This position would be the one in S&S that Plugg and Scourge would most likely assign the job to who they want to remove first. Someone who can climb would not make since as chances are they might survive

Cabin Boy - Worked as a servant and where usually runaways, kidnapped.

Powder Monkey - Young boys who ran to fetch powder for the gun crews

Swab/Swabbie - Not a rank and was the person who mopped the deck with a swab, had no rank what so ever and would be the job all press ganged would use.

Oh NCAG stands for the Northern Colorado Adventures Guild

We start our S&S game this weekend and my BF and I are excited. Normally we have a large group but 3 will be missing so there will be 4 starting out.

A Slyph Bard
A Strix Magus
A Human Ulfen Barbarian Sea Reaver that fights with anything he can use or throw
A Human Chelaxian Swashbuckler with a bad temper

Latter a Human Chelaxian fighter Corsair will join us and not sure of the other 2. One is taking a gaming vacation as we used to break for June and July and this year we played a couple times which he did not like. As for the 3rd person? Hard to say spell caster of some sort I think.

So looking forward to this adventure

Question to see if I am reading this correctly

An inquisitor’s selection of spells is extremely limited.
An inquisitor begins play knowing four 0-level spells
and two 1st-level spells of the inquisitor’s choice. At each
new inquisitor level, she gains one or more new spells as
indicated on Table 2–4. (Unlike spells per day, the number
of spells an inquisitor knows is not affected by her Wisdom
score. The numbers on Table 2–4 are fixed.)

So If I understand this correctly a first level Inquisitor only has 4 Zero level spells in their list to cast and 1 first level not including any Wisdom modifier.

At 2nd they would have 4 0- levels and 2 - 1st
At 3rd they would have 4 0-level, and 3 - 1st
At 4th they would have 4 - 0-level, 3 - 1st and 1 - 2nd
etc...

They at NO time will ever have more spells than this unless their Wisdom is say 18 then they would get 1 st and 1 2nd?

Seems WAY Under powered if I read this right, and only at 5th level could they remove 1 spell from the list and get a different spell

Now this does not reflect how many they can cast, only what they can learn.

if I am wrong please clarify and show me where it is in the APG

Thanks

So wondering Where my shipment is? I got the notification it was sent on July 10th. Tracking shows it in Auburn WA on the 18th - 19th and not expected to be received until the 24th. This is FAR longer than the 4 - 8 day.

The other odd thing is 2 others in my game group one lives 20 miles east of me and his says the same, another person 10 minutes north says the same and yet another who is 15 miles away got his early last week?

So what is up with this. 3 of us receive from the same UPS and Post Office and the other should be on the same plane, yest 1 of us of the three got there's

I emailed about this last week and got no reply.

So Taldor is Britain
Cheliax Italy
Andoran the US

Where is Spain?

Who voted idiots like this into office?

I am beginning to think Nazi Germany won WWII with all the hate we have and that includes this Yo-Yo. His IQ must be what about 1?

I want to play a Mord Sith like character, kind of in the lines of Cara with maybe a bit of Deena from Legend of the seeker TV show (season 2). I want to do it using the existing classes in the Pathfinder books. Knowing how they are almost like inquisitors to Darken Ral and do his bidding. I also want to make her a follower of Calistria since the Mord Sith seem almost like dominatrix's.

Any suggestions? other classes to take with maybe inquisitor but keeping within the rules of Pathfinder

Class, Skills, Feats would be helpful

Thanks

Our group has been having an ongoing discussion about treasure split, how it should be done and how un-fair it seems to be.

What ends up happening is items get found, people that can use them claim them and someone feels like they got left out.

If we have any items no one wants or claims and mundane items and gold, silver, copper, etc, all of this gets divided by the party.

In this case we have 6 - 8 players in a typical game. Some of those players where not there the entire game, yet feel they got slighted treasure.

So the question, how does your group divide treasure and not have hard feelings?

This has always been a sore issue with every group I have played in as someone always feels they did not get as much.

Does anyone know if any produce exists (Paizo or other) that has a map or a picture of a temple of Calistria?

Thank you

Does anyone know where I can locate the price of a building in Gold in any of the rule books, supplements or AP's.

Our DM is running a game and in the year off (player time) my character wants to build a nice inn... err brothel... errr Temple for Calistria her goddess and I am trying to figure out what she can spend in her treasure to do this.

Thank you
