My name is Juan, and I wear magic P.A.N.T.S.

I look like almost everyone. It's one of my greatest strengths, that I'm average. I could be the guy behind the counter at your second-favorite grocery store, a bridge construction worker, or the guy who drives a street sweeper at night. Medium size, medium build, brown hair, sometimes a mustache. Sometimes a hard hat. Sometimes just a good book and cup of coffee.

Oh. Right. The magic P.A.N.T.S. They're not really magic or pants, but they're mine.

It's a sophisticated nanobot suit that can do many things, but my two prototypes can only perform one chief function at a time. The suit can be a carapace to soak damage, a blaster to deal damage, or help me fly. However, it can only do one of those things at a time and requires a certain amount of time to restructure between roles. It's a temporary limitation. I'm still working on it.

That's another thing. I may look like average Joe, but I have a gift with technology. I can fix a lot of things and reverse engineer complicated machines and code.

What have I done? Amateur. Don't you know better than to ask that question? Ask me what I was accused of instead, which so far is a list as long as my arm. Corporate espionage. Assault. Attempted murder in the second degree. Various, ridiculous computer hacking charges. Even trespassing. Sometimes I have to steal to keep my lab running. Sometimes I want a little payback. No, I'm not going to talk about that.

Lately? I've done a bit of this, a bit of that. Mostly I try to scrounge power sources of the small, portable, and nuclear variety. I infiltrated and robbed a Thorium repository in the United States three months ago. Oh, and a shipment of former U.S.S.R. plutonium just landed in my lap last month. Really. Scout's honor.

But what put me in this V'sori prison was when I took about a sixth of their primary database. I wasn't sure what I would find, hacking into one of their shuttles and using a link back to a mother ship. I used some of the V'sori cracker programs that are still available and a mass downloader. By the time I started sifting through the data to get an idea of what I had there were troops coming in my front door. I figure I'm still alive because they want to know what else I may have downloaded and who else has seen it.

They do indeed. Thanks Moab.

Also, a note: Gary is just about to jump into finishing off paizo.com's own wish list feature.

I just looked through my Paizo account settings for something like this. Was it ever finished or implemented?

I think I will use the Amazon universal wish list in the meantime. Thank you very much for the link Cpt_kirstov.

Are you able to get it to go directly to what you are searching? What I mean by that, if you put in "Web", are any of the search results going to send you right to the Web spell?

Thanks.

No, but using Google site search will not take me directly to the page of the web spell. Instead, it lists all the pages in the PRD containing the text for my search term.

An example:

1. I open my bookmarks folder, click on the link to my bookmark, and am presented with a dialog box.

2. I enter the following text: web

3. I press Enter or click the OK button

4. I am presented with a Google site search page: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=web+spell+site%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fpaiz o.com%2FpathfinderRPG%2Fprd

5. I can choose the link I follow just as I would any other Google search. Given this example, I would likely choose the Spell List link from that search.

Barty Crouch Jr. vs. Doctor Who

The advantage of using 4x6 cards is there are so many picture albums available for that size. I know people like the collectable card size so they can put a bunch in sleeves and have them in one place, so 4x6 would do that as well.

Genius. ^_^ I'm SO doing that. Thank you Krome. Might keep me from having a small stack of 5x7 cards loose in every character folder.

I would likely buy Pathfinder spell cards no matter the size, but I like the 4x6 idea.

Sure, I could use the D20PFSRD. It has a handy search, courtesy of Google Sites.

However, I prefer the official Pathfinder RPG Reference Document. I like the formatting. Links are well maintained. But how to search it?

I started using Google site search, by bookmarking a Google search for site:paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/. I would open a new tab, click that bookmark, mouse into the search field, and enter my search term at the beginning with a space between my search terms and "site:...". That was a bit inconvenient, though.

Right now I'm using Google site search called after a javascript prompt for a search term. I created a new bookmark, named it PRD Search, and use the following as the location:

javascript:q=""+(window.getSelection?window.getSelection():document.g etSelection?document.getSelection():document.selection.createRange().text); if(!q)q=prompt("Search%20terms%20[leave%20selection%20and%20box%20blank%20to%20list%20all%20pages]%20...").replace(/\s\+/g,"%252B");if(q!=nu ll)location="http://www.google.com/search?q="+q.replace(/\s+/g,"+")+"+site: http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/";

How do you search the PRD? Any suggestions?

Edit: Grrr... forum doesn't allow code tags. Please note that this forum did not render the javascript above quite right. If you copy+paste, please remove empty spaces.

" "Dungeons and Dragons?"

I braced myself for the mocking that was about to come. Then he started studying the sheets for almost a full minute. "You understand all this stuff?"

"Yeah, I've been playing for a long time." He handed the sheets to me with a kind of nod, and never said another word about it.

Awesome. ^_^

Back to topic: I'm with the 2nd reply (heh, and the one above mine, while I was typing) in this thread. Why not print the PRD instead? You can grab the zip linked by hogarth and queue all the files for print in a browser. Doing so might take a little time, but the pages are all plain, static html with a few tables. No formatting to gum the works.

However, as someone who bought the core book a few days ago, I really cannot recommend it enough. My local game store had trouble keeping it in stock but I had them place an order just for me. I only had to wait four business days. My game shop got my $$ and I supported Paizo. Feels good and I got a fabulous hardcover. Well worth it.

I would love an official Paizo podcast as well.
