What if you had a sourcebook on Absalom that just included some updated adventures, like Black Waters and Hangman's Noose? Both of those were written for 3.5, and could benefit with an update...
If you really want your party to love you, go with a buffing, healing bard. Split levels between Songhealer and a Cleric with the Luck domain. You'll have nice buffs, channels to heal the party with, and you'll be able to harm undead too. Make Str your lowest stat and stay out of the fights. Stand behind the main melee damage dealer and hit him with "Bit of Luck" from time to time. Then keep a CLW wand in hand and keep him in the fight.
Hi, guys!
I don't know if there will be anyplace to send condolences at this time, but I will post as soon as I find out. In the meantime, I would like to throw out a quick memory of Jon. This came at the climax of Krome's Carrion Crown campaign, and we were fighting the main villain. Spoiler:
We were fighting the lich, as well as an undead dragon. Jon's gunslinger character got tk'd off of the top of the tower, and barely survived the fall. As he lay on the ground at the base of the tower, with only 3 hp left, he took a shot at the undead dragon. Crit. He destroyed the undead dragon flying hundreds of feet directly above him, only to cry "Oh, $h!t when he realized that thousands of pounds of rotten undead dragon flesh was plummeting directly for him. He saved the day, and survived the encounter. Good times.
This post is directed at you, John Compton! Since Samivashti has so many opportunities for escape, I would like to see her again in a future scenario. I think she would make for a great recurring villain. In the number of times that I have run this scenario and seen it run, she has escaped a majority of the time. This may not be so overall, but if she does typically escape, could we see her again?
I understand that you are upset with this person, but from the stance of the Pathfinder Society, wherein the goal is to grow the society at any reasonable opportunity, it would be outside of the spirit of Pathfinder Society to prevent a player from playing for personal reasons. You have the right to not sit at that player's table, but if that player hasn't broken any of the rules of Pathfinder Society you will have no grounds by which to ban said player. And you may find that if this person is actively trying to get under your skin, simply ignoring his antics may be the best way to defeat him.
I would like to see a flip-mat of the Beldrin's Bluff Drownyard. Not the one depicted in the scenario of Black Waters, 'cause that one's not really a useful map.
These look fantastic. I like the new paint schemes, and the format of these little "mini sets" works well to help me get my fix between larger expansions. The set of these that I would most want to see doesn't have any past minis that could get a repaint, so I would assume at this time it would be impossible. However, I have found that the type of mini that I never have enough of and that I frequently need to use is an unarmed commoner. Yep, that's right: the set like this that I would be most impressed if Paizo released would be COMMONERS! Please think about it, Erik! Thanks! (Also, if you could throw out an albino half orc bartender mini, that would be aces!)
Ah, yes. Caster level, not spell level. That's what I get for shooting from the hip while half asleep.
Please help me in congratulating Christopher Hays as the newest Venture-Lieutenant of Missouri!
The issue for a lot of us old timers, is that this an other issues have been discussed and debated multiple times. So while, you might see us as being dismissive, we are not, we are simply just really tired of the same arguments and discussions over and over with the same result being... because paizo said so. Amen.
A large greatclub does 2d8 damage, according to the weapon damage table in the Core Rulebook. How much damage would a huge greatclub deal, and how much would a gargantuan greatclub deal? There are several people in my gaming circle who have very different theories as to what the answer will be, and my semi-official answer has not kept any of them from thinking their answer is right.
Congratulations to you, Michael! Just FYI-I think one of the requirements for 5 stars now is that you come over to Columbia and run at one of our monthly Smackdowns*. Bring a bunch of St. Louis people with you. The next one is gonna be on January 19th at 5 P.M. *(Not really a requirement, but we would sure love to have you over! We're only a short drive down I-70, and have some folks that drive from further away every time!) And congrats again!
Greetings, Pathfinders, I would like to extend an invitation to all of the Society to join me at Valhalla's Gate in Columbia, MO this Saturday for the special, Race for the Runecarved Key!
Sincerely,
Barry Stoddard, aka techlee, has been promoted to the position of Venture-Lieutenant of Columbia, Missouri! Some of you may remember Barry's hijinks from the last couple of PaizoCons--he is a lot of fun to be around and always in a great mood! Barry has brought dozens of new players into the Pathfinder Society, and continues to bring in more with his Wednesday Night Games and the Pathfinder Smackdown every third Saturday. Congratulations to a great player, and awesome GM, and a good friend.
Dragons-I hate to just repeat what so many others have said more eloquently (which is one reason I don't post often), but dragons should be rare and special. I played in a game once where the gm decided there weren't enough dragons in the world, and wound up putting them everywhere. They became a joke instead of a treat. Goblins-I don't mind goblins, but there are other low CR monsters out there, right? Orcs-not done enough, but should be done well. More explorations into and near Belkzen would be fun. Drow-should only be used in Darklands scenarios. They aren't even supposed to exist (according to surface races.) I guess they would be okay in a Celwynvian scenario as well. Dinosaurs-I would love a dino scenario, as long as it makes sense. Undead-without these, I would have an awful time keeping players interested in being Clerics. Nobody wants to be a full time band aid. Swarms-while overused in the earlier seasons, they do have their place. Keep them around to keep parties on their toes. Humanoids-Absolutely necessary. The Aspis Consortium needs to be a bit more badass, however. I also think that ogres and, my favorite, oni should be used more often. I loved the ogre mage at the end of White Plume Mountain. I don't think that oni should only be used in Asian themed adventures. I love the idea of western-style oni.
Some of the more common "the prisoner turns out to be..." examples are: somebody important (like a prince or princess)
Maybe one of these will spur your imagination...
1. Ancient Chinese secret 2. We arrived in Cesca one fine day when the Black Carriage had been seen in the area every night. It delivered a message, then sped off into the night. All of the characters were first level pre-gens, and many panties were soiled that night, let me tell ya! |
