HELLO!

I have been watching this for a while hoping something would happen, I would also like to find a regular game, hopefully weekly, I can provide a large, excellent space to play if needed in south Calgary.

Hi, I realize you posted a couple months ago. But I am looking for a group. I haven't played table top RPGs before, but I think I get the general rules about Pathfinder (from the rule books in the beginner box). Let me know if you are still looking for players.

- Thanks

Hi. I too am looking for a Pathfinder group. I am new to the game, so I don't know much about it. I am available on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings, as well as Saturday afternoons. I live in the NW.

Hi,
I am trying to get into Pathfinder, and am trying to look for a group in Calgary. I live in the NW and am available on either of Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings. I can be available on Saturday afternoons as well. I don't all the details in about the game, but I think I know the basics.

The wooden shield can be recharged to reduce combat damage by 2. And before the encounter, Blank Fang deals 1d4-1 acid damage (if I fail the check). Can I use the wooden shield to reduce this damage, i.e. is this damage considered to be combat damage?

Thanks in advance

I'm tempted to make a text based computer game of Pathfinder ACG for situations like these. Of course not as fun as having the actual cards (personally I even like using the printable character sheets to save my character profiles, rather than just writing them down), but perhaps handy if the players are geographically disabled.

I definitely agree with Captain Bulldozer that supporting Paizo/Mike/etc. is important.

One comment about your choice of weapons for Ezren & Kyra: you do realize that the Longsword, Battleaxe, and Battleaxe +1 all require weapon proficiency, right? The difficulty of all attacks using these weapons would be increased by 4.

Oh, I did not realize that. I thought that difficulty increase was for the check to acquire the weapon. Thanks for the heads up. Guess I'll go back to square 1.

So I have tried playing a 3 character party. It does make things more balanced. I tried picking characters who would complement each other. So far I think Lem and Valaros would make a good pair (I've also read about this pair on other posts), and I also think that Harsk and Merisiel would compliment each other.

Currently I have 2 parallel games going. I am not mixing the characters or even exchanging cards between them. I started each character with the recommended deck in the rule book, and upgraded those decks as I played along. I've only completed the first 2 scenarios in each of these games.

Game 1: Valeros and Merisiel
Valeros' Deck:
Battleaxe, Flaming Mace +1, Longsword (X2), Shortsword
Chain Mail, Wooden Shield (X2)
Mattlock, Potion of Healing
Sage, Troubadour
Blessing of the Gods (X3)

Merisiel's Deck:
Dagger, Sling
Leather Armor
Caltrops, Crowbar, Potion of Energy Resistance, Potion of Glibness, Spyglass, Thieves' Tools
Archer, Burglar
Blessing of the Gods (X4)

Game 2: Ezren, Kyra & Harsk
Ezren's Deck:
Warhammer +1
Acid Arrow, Arcane Armor, Force Missile (X2), Glibness, Invisibility, Lightning Touch (X2)
Blast Stone, Luckstone, Token of Rememberance
Night Watch, Standard Bearer, Troubadour

Harsk's Deck:
Light Crossbow (X2), Shortbow (X2), Starknife
Magic Leather Armor
Amulet of Life, Mattlock, Spyglass
Crow
Blessing of Calistria, Blessing of the Gods (X4)

Kyra's Deck:
Battleaxe, Longsword
Cure, Guidance, Mending
Half-plate,Wooden Shield
Blast Stone
Standard Bearer
Blessing of the Gods (X6)

What do you guys think? Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Maxarkell

If you're afraid your dice a cursed (or even worse, are not actually fair dice) you can always try a die rolling app! With those the random number generators are often a bit more reliable than actual dice...

I'm fairly sure that the dice are fair. Whenever I play with Valeros and Merisiel, I have great rolls.

Thanks for the advice. Maybe I will try working with 3 characters, and/or changing the starting decks.

A number of times I have lost because I think the dice don't like me. I roll a lot of 2's and 1's.

Hello,
I've never delved into RPGs before. A friend of mine told me about Pathfinder back in July, and made it sound very interesting. I haven't been able to join a Pathfinder group, so I looked into Pathfinder ACG instead. I am able to follow the rules, the ones from the rule book and the clarifications posted here. But I am looking for help on how to properly play the characters.

So far, I have tried playing solo with Valeros and dual with Valeros and Merisiel and they have worked well for me. But I can't pass Brigandoom with any other character, either solo or 2 characters. Are there any special pairs you guys would suggest and/or hints of how I should be playing each character.

Thanks in advance
