Weables is right. Though while raging your bonus hit points from the con increase is from all levels. So a barbarian2 ranger1 would have +6 hp while raging.

The build is using Dervish Dance which allows you to use Dex for both to hit and damage with a scimitar but the earliest you can get it is third level. The deference between 6th and 11th is weapon specialization +2 and power attack +6. Also the magus gets to boost his weapon with his arcane pool.

Nope. It doesn't matter if it doesn't have a somatic component, you still have to make the concentration check. So dimension door is not a get out of grapple free card.

I only can count up 8 uses of lay on hands unless he spent two feats on extra lay on hands. The save bonus from nimbus of light is only for fear effects. It also costs a use of lay on hands. The 16's saves sound high as well. I can only count up to 14 for fort and 13 for will.

Shield of Faith, Cloak of Protection, and the AC bonus from smite are all deflection bonuses and do not stack. The max AC while smithing is 31.

Sounds like they are well over the wealth per level guidelines. If that is the case you need to increase the CR of the enemies they face.

I really like the oath, it fits Pharasma very well and would work great for a paladin. I wouldn't change the wording of the last one, but have it apply to any sentient race. With the second one it would be interesting to see what happens at the end of a fight and the party wants to coup de grace the fallen enemy. Overall the oath should provide some good role-playing opportunities.

I am playing a Paladin of Aroden in CoCT. My DM and I decided he would not get spells as we felt those come directly from the god, but his other abilities work. He is a fun character to play as he tries to preach the ideals of Aroden. Most people think he is insane but he was starting to acquire a small following at the church of Aroden in Old Korvosa, of course that didn't turn out well after certain events.

Class/Level: Barbarian 9
Adventure: Fortress of the Stone Giants
Catalyst: Enga Keckvia, Ratcatcher
Story: Upon entering Enga's Cave from the tunnel, the kobold charged the barbarian when he reached the entrance(He was the only one able to fight it in melee because Enga blocked the entrance to her Cave).

The fighter/rogue(Jack), The Ranger(Aurado), and Seahara tried to sneak up on the giants and failed. After realizing that there were to many stone giants for the group to take at one time(7) the party retreated. Seahara decided not to run and shot at the giants and the giants swarmed Seahara and killed her. The rest of the party made it back to Sandpoint.

My Local FLGS(Cavalier Comics in Wise, VA) allowed you to get one of each if you so desire, though most did not grab one of each. I can understand limiting the number of items each person could get so that more people can get someting but not making them buy products in order to get one of the free items.

I am fortunate to have a very good flgs in my home town and I am not just saying that because the owner is in my gaming group. He has always had a good selection of 3pp's and was the one to push me over the edge to start Pathfinder. The store has a wide range of products as well.

Name of PC: Gonzadol
Class/Level: Dragon Shaman 8th
Adventure: Hook Mountain Massacre
Catalyst: Wet Papa Grazuul

Then the ranger Aurodo filled Grazuul with three arrows scoring a critical hit and putting Grazull over his current hitpoints in subdual damage. The party then used their fire and acid to finish of the scrag.

Well the adventurers raided Fort Rannick with some casualties.

Name of PC: Kaven Windstrike

Name of PC: Altina
Class/Level: Ranger 7
Adventure: Hook Mountain Massacre
Catalyst: Karly-Lop Kreeg
Story: After loosing most of the Black Arrows and tired of sneaking around, the party set fire to the New Barracks and snuck around behind the ogres checking out the fire. They quickly dispatched several ogres when Altina was gutted by the ogre fighter and the party realized some ogres were much tougher than others.

I had switched Lucretia's and Xanesha's places. Xanesha still proved to be a challenge to the party and got away. They were very upset when realizing she had fled the fort. They had searched every room for her wanting to finish her off. She will return and cause them much more grief.

Yeah, I don't like this either, but it does make the DM's job easier. So I say have this rule for NPCs and Skill points for PCs, with the idea that a DM could use skill points for NPCs if they desire and Players could use this rule if they wish. Though this is an easy house rule.

This is what I wanted to hear and you made the announcement on my birthday. Thank you Paizo, this made my day(don't tell my wife)

Well my initial thougt was the same on lowering the dificulty on these. But after thinking it should not be easy for two equal opponents to disarm/trip/etc each other. So I think the 15+CMB is probably fine.

Yes I do like the grapple mechanic and think that this could be used for the other combat manuevers.

Yes, I do not want to have to do one thing this round so I can do another the next round. This is an unnecessary added complexity to these. Also I do not want to decide wether mobility counts this round or dodge.

I like iterative attacks, as do the rest of my group. It's fun rolling a bunch of d20's.

I don't like this either. I just don't want to have to do one thing this round so I can do what I want to do in the next round.

Name of PC: Aurodo
Class/Level: Ranger/5
Adventure: The Skinsaw Murders
Catalyst: The Scarecrow
Story: Upon entering the Clock Tower our overconfident heroes ran into a large creature dressed as a scarecrow. Gonzadol charged the creature only to be brought into negatives. Aurodo rushed forward and healed Gonzadol with a wand. Then Aurodol fell to a critical hit from the large scythe(73 damage). With some luck the rest of the party managed to defeat the Scarecrow.

edit: just noticed npc's and animal compainions being counted.

Name of PC: Wolfey
Class/Level: Aurodol's animal compainion
Adventure: The Skinsaw Murders
Catalyst: Faceless Stalkers
Story: When the party fought the faceless stalkers for the first time, Aurodo's faithful companion died trying to defend his master and friends.

It has been a lot of fun reading and running. I too say thanks for such a great AP.

I would like to thank all of the people who bring their ideas and creations to this board for the ROTRL. It has made my sessions much better than they would have been without this help. This is a good community and I wanted to make sure everyone still new that.

If I do play 4th it will be one-shots at gaming events and the like. I am going to play 3.5 for campaigns for some time to come. Most of the people in my group fill this way, with 3.5 being for campaigns and 4th possibly for one shots.

Ok this is hard to do, but I will try:

1. Possibility of seeing D&D being played by a new generation.
2. Dungeon and Dragon Magazines being brought back in for the digital initiative, so that Golarian and Pathfinder could be produced.
3. 3.5 being complete with no further official additions.
4. The new art for the books.
5. Ranger and Half-elf seem to have made it to the player's handbook. I have played Half-elf Rangers since I started playing D&D.
6. This is hard, oh DMG being Titties.
7. Possibility of getting people to try pen and paper games that normally wouldn't have.
8. Attempt by Wizards to bring the game into the digital age while remaining a pen and paper game.
9. Attempt at making the Dungeon Masters duties easier.
10. The love of gaming that the designers are showing that they have.

Well I made it to ten.

Alright Here I go:

1. At will, per encounter and per day abilities for everybody.
2. Self Healing for everybody.
3. Elves turned into Eldrain and Elves.
4. Loss of Classes and Races that are necessary.
5. Addition of Classes and Races that are not necessary.
6. Power increase at 1st level.
7. New saving throw mechanic and defences.
8. New death and dying mechanic.
9. Loss of profession, craft and perform skills.
10. Different rules for PCs, NPCs, and Monsters.

The list could go on.

This is very usefull, Thanks

That is harsh.

A clumsy fighter.

Name of PC: Jack Spade
Class/Level: Rouge/3rd
Adventure: Burnt Offerings
Catalyst: Naulia and Yeth Hound
Story: Stayed to fight Naulia and her Yeth Hound as most of the party fled due to the howl of the hound. The hound got the last blow on the rouge. The party was able to rally and kill both Naulia and the Hound.

He was later reincarnated as an elf instead of Human. He is trying to adjust to his new body.

My group is near the end of #1. They consist of the following.

Jack Spade-Chelaxian/Varisian Rogue, a scoundrel with a interesting moral code. He will not steal from others but he will cheat at gambling. He acts as an almost older brother to the sorceress of the party.

Korah Viskanta-Varisian Sorceress, a mysterious young woman with unclear motives. She likes to use her abilities to get what she wants but does not tend to like the attention that most men give her.

Shot'Ha Rust'hoveli-Chelaxian Fighter/Expert, a merchant who got mixed up with the adventure due to the death of his mentor during the shallow tail festival. He can hold his own in a fight but excells in socail settings.

Ganzadahl-Shoanti Dragon Shaman, a traveling warrior trying to prove himself. Arrogant but with good reason. He is trying to find more information on the dragons of Varisia to better understand his abilities.

Aurodol-Shoanti Ranger, an exceptional archer who will not accept help without compensation. He is a loner at heart and tends to be self reliant and will go out of his way to repay any kindness.

Tanrov-Shoanti Ranger, an exceptional warrior trying to prove that she is as capable as any man. Has hidden the fact that she was a woman from the group until recently.

Gerfoodle Lightfoot-Gnome Cleric of sarenae, who is here to learn of the people and their ways. Very curious of everything he sees, which has gotten him into trouble a time or two.

Seahara, Chelaxian Rouge, she is out for revenge of the destruction of her home in the farmlands of Sandpoint. Always looking for a way to increase her wealth.

Rather large group but roleplaying has been very good. I plan on increasing the size of the rooms the encounters take place in to compensate.

I too am about to start a new campaign with Rise of the Runelords. My group will be playing 3.5 well past the release of 4th. It is annoying that they assume that we will drop everything for this new edition. Of course it could be that good, but I really doubt that.

I play with a large group, though usually we don't have everyone show up for every session.

So far talking with them this is what the group looks like

Female Varisian Sorceress
Male Shoanti Barbarian
Male Chelaxian Fighter
Male Gnome Cleric
Male Halfling Rogue

There are three other players who I have not gotten to talk with about a character. So could have as many as eight but usually it ends up being about six.
