This has been a helpful thread!

My group has been playing the system for years, but I only just experienced Society play recently at the Pheonix Comicon. We had no idea Pathfinder was even represented, until we found a room devoted to it, what a great surprise.

After a frantic evening of character creation in our hotel rooms, and monopolizing the hotels printer room in the early morning we spent the rest of the convention playing Society Scenarios, and fundamentally relearning the game. There were so many rules we had misunderstood, glossed over, or changed in our own games that playing level one characters was a totally eye opening and refreshing experience.

Our group is hoping to start events in Flagstaff AZ, as it seems to have no local Society representation. I'd wondered what options we had, and now I know!

Thanks!

I lurk on these forums most days while I'm working, and I am often blown away by the quality, patience, and effort put into the communications on the Paizo forums.

These messageboards are full of intelligent, instructive posts from a variety of people who spend significant time and effort creating them.

Thank you to anyone who has spent time stating out ANYTHING for someone else. It's work, and it's awesome that you spent the time to do it.

Thank you to anyone who has provided an articulate answer to a question, especially if your instinctual response was a facepalm. Courtesy is a beautiful thing.

Daily, without fail, I find amazing resources here that probably wouldn't exist without these sort of interactions. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this.

Loss of player control is extremely frustrating, and I tend to avoid it. THat being said, my players mostly enjoy the rare occasion they're mind controlled, so I mostly just avoid hold person, paralysis, and the totally unenjoyable level drain mechanic.

Cool looking class Abugaj!

My friend and I have struggled for the longest time in creating something similar, we went with creating a "savage" cleric domain for simplicity.

Anywho, that's neither here nor there!

Wild shape is pretty powerful at level 1! Not sure how to balance that, maybe dropping spell-casting altogether?

Redchigh has a great idea with "Aspect of the Beast," you could make it an at will or similar ability from say level 1 to 4, then graduate to wild shape.

Just some ideas! Thanks for posting your class writeup!

Thank you GMs! I appreciate every moment you spend building fantastical worlds and entertaining your players. It is hard, often unforgiving work, but the end results are some of the most compelling storytelling I've ever participated in.

Captain K. really gave you some awesome info here!

Environment can be a ton of fun in swamps as well. Enemies can hide underwater, waiting to ambush unsuspecting players, and the flora can be nearly as dangerous as the fauna.

Bogs are hard to move through, foliage provides cover, and everything is gross!

I like anything that concerns the Sunken Queen (I might be butchering the name) in the Mushfens. Ancient crumbling relics to lost gods get me every time, and I'm pretty sure the Boggards are centered around this time-lost statue.

Just wanted to bump this thread for awesomeness. Our pathfinder games have had a "rehabilitation of monsters" theme from the get-go. Our PCs creatd the "Coins of Golarion," a burgeoning trade group that uses any extra money we can garner from excess loot and trade to create Monestaries in each city we've visited in the campaign.

It all started with Gogmurt, he made a really compelling and interesting npc, so we made him a cohort.

We're defending Sandpoint for the second time now, trying to figure out how to make honest men of the hill giants. Hrrm.

Pathfinder sure is fun.
