If there is then I will beyond pissed. I hate the whole concept of raffles, pay to win. I hate how booms are distributed this way. A lot of people can’t afford to do that. Myself being one.

But the point of the boon is to say "Thank you" to those who donate to the charity. Are you saying everyone should get the boon whether or not they donate? Not that I am saying I agree with them being distributed using a raffle or not, but wondering how to reconcile that someone who cannot afford to buy a raffle ticket and therefore cannot afford to donate to the charity should get the incentive for doing so.

I think the frustration this player is trying to express is that Paizo has chosen to take a race, Skittermanders, that immediately drew players interest and created a gated method of obtaining it that seems extremely limiting. I don't think anyone wants to do away with charity boons and similarly structured rewards for players who support Paizo's chosen benefactors. The perception among many of my local players is that Paizo purposefully chose a race they knew would be popular and created a system where you have to log in at a specific time and donate a specified amount to even have a chance of getting the racial boon. I know the raffle is a way to avoid the pay-to-play perception but that's exactly what it feels like to many.

Any ETA for the chronicle for Dead Suns #2?

We will be having a massive catch-up day on Dec 27. If you've never played this is a great chance to start. Also, if you have played this is a fantastic opportunity to get that Swashbuckler perk! Please visit Warhorn for the complete scenario schedule:

We can definitely make room for two of you. We'll use point buy, no restrictions on character options as long as it is in Paizo material. We're planning on playing Sundays 1pm - 6pm. This Sunday we probably won't go that late as we're just getting characters created and backstories worked out. For the new players I might run a brief sample combat.

So i think we're going to stick with Rise of the Runelords. You are welcome to join us, we're meeting this Sunday at At Ease Games to create characters, etc.

I have to see what everyone else wants. I was thinking RotRL would be a better intro, two people haven;t played Pathfinder. I can ask though.

Looking for players for a brand new Pathfinder campaign. We would play regularly on Sundays, probably at At Ease Games on Miramar Rd. I'm thinking 1pm-6pm weekly. I've got a ton of adventure paths, I'd love to run Rise of the Runelords, but others are possible.

There were nifty write-ups for other iconics in the NPC Codex, anyone know where the non-core write-ups like samurai might be lurking?

I am preparing to run Rise of the Runelords for my home group and we were thinking of playing it as a sanctioned event. Now after reading the guidelines posted online, am I right to believe my players can use whatever level appropriate characters they want but save the Chronicle Sheets to apply to other, PFS-legal characters? I ask because I want to run them through the whole AP, not just the sanctioned portions. Any advice would be helpful as this would be this first time I'm doing something like this.

For our home campaign, I have no problem with the player using the 3.5 Warlock, but when we do PFS content, he can't play one...

Okay so Sorcerer with Infernal Bloodline, and at 2nd level Oracle with Mystery (Flame)? I think that gives a good selection of at-will like abilities.

So I've just recently started to get my gaming group to try Pathfinder. Everything is going quite well, however, one of my player's loves his Warlock. Specifically, he loves having the Eldritch Blast ability and a small list of repeatable spells, i.e. he can can a few things over and over. There's also some fluff for the class he likes, but I can figure a way around that.

So what's the best way to help him create the warlocky PC he wants? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
