I plan on an orc chirurgeon now that chirurgeon is playable and with the two boost stat rule so I am not eating a penalty to int...

I am starting a campaign with a ballroom gala, and am having trouble brainstorming some short term social intrigues if the players decide to go roleplay heavy in the scene. Anyone have some ideas to share?

Like the title, I will be playing soon and want to know how much to prioritize healing.

gnolls were kind of off limits in the previous edition, so I am looking forward to playing a gnoll in some distant year...

the ritualist seems like a must for raising undead "children".

Also, a side quest to become the parent of attic whisperer(s) would go well with this concept as well.

https://custommadet-shirt.store/limited-mh6 I believe this is a direct IP theft of paizo property.

I took ancient elf ancestry when I did something like this. Kind of blurred the family life details as my character was 20 years out of Five Kings Mountain when we started. But ended up apprenticing to two or three different crafts, and then left the mountains for good to find more interesting occupations.

I gave one of my big bads the ability to use any wand ad infinitum. But this worked only in their hands, for the pcs looting the wand, it is a regular wand.

Thunderscape has a carraway crossbow that grants a +1 damage for every extra action used after loading to further crank the winch, up to four times.
it is otherwise a crossbow.

Is there any chance of a pathfinder 2e version?

Why are trolls weak to fire but not acid?

I believe that the limitation for unstable actions should be closer to an actual focus pool, so that using more than one unstable action in combat is available at a much lower level. I already have both explode and explosive leap at first level, and will be adding searing restoration at 2nd. And will be taking megavolt at sixth...

The new errata has me thinking about the way alchemical items are statted. I wonder if balance would be easier to achieve by having two stat lines for each item. one lesser stat line for everyone, and a better stat line for characters with an advanced alchemy level equal to or greater than the item level. This way the price can be low enough for non alchemist to purchase a few for contingency purposes, while not unbalancing encounters by using the lesser stat line of the items.

Well before 2e pathfinder, my homebrew world has a split with many of the goblins acting like the goblins from warcraft. They are organized into corparations and guilds with a penchant for potentially destructive experiments, resource stripping, and other morally questionable pursuits.

I plan on using some of the material from rise and shattered star with my run of return of the runelords. Such as opening with a festival and saving the gang fight for later. I am also altering most of the backstory to match a homebrew world.

Long ago, the Greater Dorinian Empire broke into factions, who started using the artifact holding large scale dimensional instability at bay as a personal magical battery. After a few centuries, the seven heads of the factions knew disaster was coming, but had no way to prevent it.

So, seven "survival bunkers" were built and held the faction lords in stasis. Now they are awakening.

Has anyone else modified the AP to have more travel and fewer dungeon delves? Just looking for ideas so I hopefully don't have to do it all myself.

How integral is the history of the isle of Kortos to the AP? I want an AP to port to my own campaign world, and hopefully this one is not too difficult

I would reserve any expeditions or exploration to either highly powerful knowledge for the character level or really obscure knowledge. otherwise the very existence of libraries breaks immersion...

Has anyone else needed to alter the caravan master's fate due to player emotional investment?

I think I will just add extra encounters. Also, does the end encounter seem a little hard for third level characters to anyone else?

It states that if the familiar makes an attack, it has a bonus equal to your level. I assumed that meant there were attacks the familiar can make. Also, does the manipulate ability allow use of weapons ranged or melee?

I like the idea of both, but especially goblins. though I would prefer that the goblins were more Ferengi and less psycho...

I have tried to research this to no avail. When someone stores valuable and currency in the Vault of Abadar, what process is used to retrieve them? is there magically verified paperwork like a bearer's bond, a key that is issued, or something else?

make whole helps to heal them up. there are some modifications in ultimate magic that provide more hp.

bio modification heart provides one more hit point per hit die.

I would recommend a point system showing which faction has greater influence at the current time. x result in an adventure adds points to faction x. if the players spend downtime resources from ultimate campaign, assign a point value towards one of the factions as appropriate. the largest point value is the faction in charge at the time.

I just change the weaknesses and advantages of creatures to keep players from operating off of memorized monster stats. For example, a rare fire troll with flaming sword. instead of needing fire to bypass regeneration, they are vulnerable to cold that bypasses regeneration.

Adding psuedo organic mineral deposits to increase natural armor on creatures and is incluede in the dm description.

Also, many of the crew who went with us on the man's promise have become officers and captains in our fleet.

Our group has gone out of our way to recover and revitalize the fortresses that used to be controlled by the lady o tidewater rock and leave them in her hands. We are building her into a significant power in the shackles, although the dm seems uncertain how to modify the AP to account for this.

A mad bomber alchemist who is a very orcish looking half orc. The suprise of the bombs allowed him or her to escape and hide as a manual laborer.

I believe in our run through, we refused to fight owlbear, and loudly stated that we liked and respected him. He is now a shock trooper on one of the other ships in the fleet.

That gives me an idea. A scientist who specialized in inter species genetic medicine...

I would say to remember the many differences between a novel and an adventure, as most of the rest is already covered. Understand that the players will find a way forward that you never anticipated, an the adventure should be flexible enough to adapt.

I have an area in my campaign that has concentrated dimensional instability due to a lot of ancient history. though I never thought to have adventures there due to the hazards of being lost in other dimensions and very nasty environmental hazards.

Grenadier with a longbow for the martial weapon. point blank and precise shot. precise bomb is a must as there are always melee happy party members.

I would think a black blade archetype magus would work well. somatic components can be used with a weapon in hand. and the intelligent blade may or may not be demonically tied. just a though.

reminds me of this.

There are many ways of granting immunity to mind effecting magic. since the character is notorious for using mind control, enemies know to prepare for the one trick pony....

take an archetype that embraces corruption ;)

Ship captain or property manager is my usual go to for cohorts.

closest I have found so far.

ships of the inner sea has some ship schematics for specific ships.

I built a gunslinger with a large size double barreled musket for my nephew once. 6d6 base plus enchantments and feats as a single attack is not bad until above 8th level or so...

start awarding small sacred bonuses to skill checks, savings throws, ect as appropriate. permanent bonuses here, temporary during boss fights there, ect.

Iron Kingdoms uses a binary alchemical compound that burn really fast when mixed. perhaps that would fit the flavor more. I remember that alchemy is really common in the ebberon setting.

for kingmaker, i added a home brewed " fey enhanced" template for random encounters and had every possible enemy humanoid go on and on about worshipping a mysterious lady. there is too little foreshadowing in the books themselves.

other than that, it was a blast for my entire group. plenty of room for me to replace and tweek the npcs fo long term roleplaying.
