Just want to understand what is really going on. Back in February 2010, Eric Mona answered this in the "Fear of a Geek Planet" (http://mxyzplk.wordpress.com/2010/02/27/pathfinder-iphone-apps/), about the upcoming iPhone app:

The three apps are in final testing now. Then they go to the Apple store, and my understanding is that it takes some time (maybe about a month) before they are available. So we’re still looking at at least a few months before they become available.

And then we got this answer recently in these messageboards:

Since we're not really in the making software business having an app made means there are other parties involved with their own schedules and agendas. Rest assured that when there is something to be announced that it will be announced. Until we make an announcement, though... well, I suspect you can see where this is going.

So back in February, we were 5 minutes to midnight about to get these 3 apps on Apple's app store, now we are in total limbo. Clearly something BAD happened in between, or call it bad PR.

I just need to be informed. To be reassured. Or I want my blanket. Or get a darn good Sense Motive roll on this.

... you apply stats to your friends and relatives — or to yourself.
"This friend of mine sure have 14 Dex! But probably 6 Charisma..." etc.

What's to you?

Sometimes I even think of rolling initiative before eating my morning cereal.

Hello fellow PF'ers
At our last Pathfinder session, we came into this little issue:
I am playing a dwarf character, and as it is with dwarves, he has some bonuses against giants (Pathfinder Core Rulebook, p.21: Defensive Training: Dwarves get a +4 dodge bonus to AC against monsters of the giant subtype).
What happened then was that we encountered an undead - in a place full of them – but this one was the undead of a giant (think "Left4Dead", what they call "a Tank"), so our discussion was:

• Is it still considered a giant? Our GM say that he had applied the "undead" template to this giant, therefore it looses the giant type, so no bonuses for the dwarf.
  
• but Pathfinder says "... monsters of the giant subtype"; would it be that in this case, the undead be labeled of this giant subtype?

We ended up this discussion with the dwarf getting the bonuses anyway, but we still had doubts left to our mind after that. What would you say?

PS: also: we were wondering if a Giant Spider would also fall in this "giant subtype" category?

I have been spending a lot of my few brain cells to figure out how to approach this, if anyone has some good pointers...
I have generated a first level dwarven cleric (with a fighter attitude) who reveres a god with War and Glory as its chosen domains, but has a high wisdom score (19). While the archetypical dwarf is more of a grumpy or rough around the edges character, who would most probably go head first into any brawl or battle, high wisdom in my opinion would probably suggest the opposite. Anyone have good ideas on how to solve this roleplaying conundrum?
