I wanted to share the coolest gaming story I have with you all.

I work as a cabin counselor at a YMCA camp, and earlier this summer I was working with their sleeping outside, cooking, and being adventurous outdoorsy-types program. We had no schedule and were supposed to teach all sorts of outdoors skills. However, of my 3 age 13 year old campers that week, one kid desperately wanted to try Pathfinder, one DMed Pathfinder games at home, and one played Pathfinder sometimes. So it turned into Pathfinder in the woods week. While we did still teach fire building, shelter building, etc, I ran a short campaign for my campers and my co-counselor. After waking up, we would cook breakfast, do outdoorsy stuff, play pathfinder with lunch, go back to doing outdoors stuff, and then late into the night we played in tents with headlamps. We played Master of the Fallen Fortress, then went way off the rails, and ended up with everything in a 3 mile radius of the party being vaporized.

The kid who wanted to play now plans to start a Pathfinder club at school, while the other 2 plan to keep playing in home campaigns. My co-counselor plans to get back into the hobby when he gets back home as well.

Would you do Pathfinder camp?

Malag, you are wrong about the earliest he could enter mystic theurge, he could enter much earlier due to the recent FAQ. He could take 1 level dip into sorcerer along with the gnome pyrotechnic racial ability, and then go into mystic theurge at level 6. This changes the balance completely and could make it worth doing.

You also might look into picking up the feat bloatmage initiate, for another +1 to your caster level.

Howdy!

It said in the emails for Gen Con GMs that the modules would be added to the "My Downloads" page as soon as they were done. I am GMing 4-24 at Gen Con, but I have not received it yet. I'm mostly worried about implications of not being in the system for the other 2 modules that I will be running that will not be released to the public prior to Gen Con.

Has anyone else had this same problem?

I was not thinking and did not mean to put it here. I was curious about what defines a weapon as using it, but then decided against asking that and forgot to change what forum I was in. I deeply apologize.

Looking over many books, I have realized, the best weapon is not the silly greatsword. It's not the earth breaker. It is the barbazu beard!

The barbazu beard may not have spiffy damage dice, but it has extreme utility for almost no penalty!

The biggest utility lies in the fact that sometimes casters get caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Suddenly the mook runs up to the casty and takes a slice at him! Seeking to save his friend, the party rogue runs up behind the mook and attacks him. It does approximately no damage. However, if the Mage had a barbazu beard, the rogue would have gotten a sneak attack! There is no penalty for having the beard on your face, and you are threatening always.

Depending on your interpretation of use, you could even make it a +1 guardian barbazu beard which would give you for 8,325 gold, a +1 to all of your saves! Making it just slightly better price wise with a cloak of resistance +4 versus a cloak of resistance +5.

Note: Do not ever actually attack with the beard.

The penalty is in that people will look at you funny for is metal spike on your face.

Adding up the pros and cons, it is clear to me that indeed, the barbazu beard is the best weapon by far.

You should really consider getting the feat raging vitality. Also, why not pick up the beast totem? It gets you pounce. (Edited because I forgot the not in the second sentence)
