why would u go sorc into DD? bloodrager is far far better.

skinwalkers do not have ANY favored class bonuses for ANY class.

yes, you count as a human for all purposes does include feats.

Diego/Sam/Toshy,

With respect, I'd argue that this is another one of those instances where reducing an answer to RAW isn't just not helpful, but probably isn't even what the developers would focus on. I know, I know, it's the Rules Questions forum, and RAW is king.

if you don't want to know the rules then don't ask in the rules forum, just ask for DM to allow it, simple.

you get fatigued, then must make the save or lose the spell.
then next cast you become exhausted, then must make a save or lose the spell.

it advances whatever bloodline you have, for a bloodrager it does the dragon bloodline of the bloodrager.

grace stops AOO, why would you still provoke AOO the opposite of what the spell says it does?

polymorph in pathfinder doesn't change your types at all.

yes. that is what i said.

any of the 3 can flank with any of the 4. OR any of the 5 can flank with any of the 6.
a 3 can't flank with anyone beside a 4 (that include not flanking with 5 or 6)

misread that the last part was a NOT because you only said not with the first sentence.

3 for anything but a 4 (and 4 to anything other then a 3)

1332
5CC6
5CC6
2441

1 to anything but the other 1 is not a flank.
same for 2 at anything but a 2.
3 for anything but a 4 (and 4 to anything other then a 3)
etc..

--------

-all of the above does not including creatures with reach!

he has it backwards on 3 and 4. the 3's flank with only the 4's and the 5's flank with only the 6's not what he said.

ignore anyone that said this is flanking, its not flanking. bascically corner to opposite corner or 1 of the 2 side squares to the opposite 2 side squares all 4 of these flank each other.

normally animals don't attack monsters like undead or abberations they run away, you need to train it the attack trick twice, this is bascially all the combat trained is. along with the fluff that they won't spook and run away during fights. its basically a package of tricks rolled into a term. so its basically combat riding with the second attack trick like you said.

The animal attacks apparent enemies. You may point to a particular creature that you wish the animal to attack, and it will comply if able. Normally, an animal will attack only humanoids, monstrous humanoids, giants, or other animals. Teaching an animal to attack all creatures (including such unnatural creatures as undead and aberrations) counts as two tricks.

Combat Riding (DC 20)

An animal trained to bear a rider into combat knows the tricks attack, come, defend, down, guard, and heel. Training an animal for combat riding takes 6 weeks. You may also “upgrade” an animal trained for riding to one trained for combat by spending 3 weeks and making a successful DC 20 Handle Animal check. The new general purpose and tricks completely replace the animal’s previous purpose and any tricks it once knew. Many horses and riding dogs are trained in this way.

The other reading I can see is that it lasts for one hour, or one shot if you don't use it within the hour. The price looks way to low for that however.

that's some weird english your using friend. that is clearly not what is written. 1hour OR first shot. that literally means whichever comes first.

what in the world is an anti-magic shell??

in my groups we only level up when we rest for the night.

Courtly hunters companion are also magical beasts and not animals, although they count as animals for all effects and feats and stuff.

how are they at 7 int? needs more info. there are archetypes that make animal companions smarter and change their types. 7 is really high to get with just the leveling boost

i would just have everyone's init under the stealther, simple. change his init so they can't beat it, he started the combat and has the drop on you he should be first and its not a big deal since that makes logical sense for the stealth to be faster.

I dunno where yall are getting this "Hard cap" thing, where not even Arcane Pools can boost it. It may be there, I just haven't seen it. And if that's the case, does it specify that a Furious weapon can go above the +5? Or bring it above the +10 hard cap?

I've always assumed a magus can add abilities to a weapon, even if it has a +10 total.

its from something called the "core rule book" "magic weapons" section third paragraph, right at the top, easiest thing to find in the world. might be third party tho can't be sure

Some magic weapons have special abilities. Special abilities count as additional bonuses for determining the market value of the item, but do not modify attack or damage bonuses (except where specifically noted). A single weapon cannot have a modified bonus (enhancement bonus plus special ability bonus equivalents, including those from character abilities and spells) higher than +10. A weapon with a special ability must also have at least a +1 enhancement bonus. Weapons cannot possess the same special ability more than once.

Natural attacks are light weapons

But are natural attacks melee weapons?

are you throwing your arm at them to attack?

Natural attacks are light weapons

traits that don't say their type should be trait bonuses.

A trait bonus is a bonus granted via a character trait. Character traits are an optional additional character defining feature like feats but less powerful (typically about half as strong as a feat.) As with other named bonuses, trait bonuses do not “stack” with other trait bonuses.

TLDR: NO

That's pretty much what we thought. the question arose because the text on charging says that the mount spends it's turn moving, and therefore doesn't get an attack. We didn't know if this also meant it couldn't threaten, and thusly not qualify for the Pack Flank feat.

threatening has to do with what squares your able to attack into and has nothing to do with if you did or did not attack on your turn.

If it was with Bloodrager then you might be thinking about the Rageshaper archetypes Bestial Aspect ability that talks about affecting Transmutation Spells and then states at the end that it also applies to bloodline powers… this seems especially likely when you consider the simple fact that Bloodrager bloodlines have no bloodline arcana…

that is what i was thinking of thanks.

the metamagic's Target is just using target to refer to people who are bing affected by the force spell. which other word could they use instead of target that is just as simple to understand? i don't believe the metamagic means "Target" as in the spell has to have "target/targets" or the metamagic would specify that.
its just unfortunate that whoever wrote it used "target" but it seems pretty clear and easy to understand to me. i would 100% allow people hit by an unarmed attack by someone with telekinetic strike toppling spell on them to to be tripped

after a quick google most of the people agree that kobold tail attachments are manufactured weapons and no longer a natural attack which means the answer to all your questions is yes.

it will keep attacking until you use a move action to change it or LOS is lost at which time it comes back to you and waits for a new command.

20th level Phoenix Bloodline Sorcerer… automatic true resurrection after 1 minute any time you die so long as you don’t die twice in a 24hr period… I’d call that more immortal.

Even true resurrection can’t restore to life a creature who has died of old age. phoenix bloodline does not stop your aging, so phoenix bloodline is actually one of the weakest and 100% not immortal as you will still die after 100ish years? depending on race of course.

or by death effects.

and as stated in other threads clever enemies might just keep you down and not kill you until they can make sure you stay down (kill you out in a place where they can find your 'respawn' or use a death effect etc.

sure but death effect will take out just about anything even if you stopped aging. and at level 9 they get extra stuff vs death effects.

There is an faq response, for the Advanced Class Guide I believe, that states you cannot benefit from more than one type of rage at a time.

i think hes asking about the number of rounds of rage you can do per day?

Yes, but my question is in the fact that (at least if you know) you can simply choose the damage type as suits the DR. That combined with I guess select oozes winds up making the supposedly better (according to the custom weapon rules) "and" option actually worse than the or.

if your character knows what DR he needs then he can choose that damage type yes. make your knowledge checks or have a party member let you know what to do.

Haste only gives an extra attack when making a full attack action. Since making a touch attack after the free action for casting the spell cannot be used with a full attack action that means they do not get the extra attack from haste, unless they have some ability that allows them to make a full attack action. So, without spell combat you do not get the extra attack at all. If you do have spell combat using it is using the two weapon fighting rules.

it feels like you didn't even read the OP's full post. the attacking happened in the round after he had already moved. your posts are misleading and incorrect. please try and read more before posting so much false information your causing unnecessary confusion to people who come here for help.

what archetype and templates??

by raw? no

Advanced Race Guide, page 5 wrote:

But races are not all about racial traits and favored class rewards. Each of the core races comes from a vibrant culture with its own history, norms, and adventuring outlooks. To represent this, each race’s entry presents a number of new character options, such as race-specific archetypes, adventuring equipment, feats, magic items, and spells.

Race-specific archetypes, not type-specific. So by RAW duergar can't take dwarf archetypes.

not true at all. half elves/orcs count as human and elf/orc for archetype requirements.

If you're attacking a monster with a ridiculously high AC, such that it can only hit on a natural 20, do abilities/spells (such as Weapon Mastery/Bless Weapon) that automatically confirm crits still function, or does the fact that you couldn't confirm a crit mean that they don't?

That is, unless a crit confirmation roll counts as an attack roll and another natural 20 would auto-crit? I'm honestly not sure if that is the case though.

yes they still auto confrim

15

it replaces the one it says it replaces.

no. it only affects you no matter what you cast. thats the downside of swift casting. magic circle and archon's aura would only affect the WP. which makes them pretty useless to cast this way.

The requirement is to present you holy symbol, not to have your holy symbol present.

i'll repeat my question then. how do you present a birthmark on your face?

Anguish wrote:

To me, a cleric who's got a holy symbol on a necklace would be enough. Basically so long as it's visible, it's presented.

If that's the case, wouldn't the ability be triggering constantly as the cleric walks down the street?

what ability? presenting your holy symbol? that's not an ability.

vhok wrote:

yes you can channel while paralyzed as long as you can present your holy symbol. birthmark on the face is popular for this.

It depends on whether or not you believe 'presenting' an item can be done without moving. I personally don't believe you could, regardless of where the holy symbol is. Never really had a definitive answer.

Also had a real shock of dejavu when I saw the thread title. Had a laugh when I saw I started it :)

how do you present a birthmark on your face?

yes you can channel while paralyzed as long as you can present your holy symbol. birthmark on the face is popular for this.

items in an extradimensional space(any extradimensional space) are not in your possession and would not change size with you, the bag/quiver would get bigger but at the same time the amount they hold does not change because the space inside is unaffected by your spell. large/small bag/quivers hold the same amount of arrows or anything else. so obviously the items inside do not enlarge/reduce with you.

long story short yeah it would work if you carry large arrows around in your extradimensional space for enlarge.

1 last thing is, if people are saying the items inside a bag of holding enlarge with you then does everyone's bags explode anytime they enlarge person because they are now too full?

yes you can still parry natural 20's.

the class ability gives the ac 6int.

long arms, enlarge person, lunge, 2 bloodrager bloodlines give 5ft reach, grab a whip, get whirlwind attack. 35 foot reach full bab. costs a lot of feats but its fun.

This is the discussion thread

ask questions, finalize characters discuss out of character stuff, etc

Adventurers Verik and Larissa Vanderboren died one month ago, their ship tragically burning to the waterline in the harbor of Delvingulf, killing all on board. Now a grand wake is being held at the Standing Stone Park in the city’s Midnight District to celebrate the life and achievements of the two Drow nobles. Perhaps you’ve been invited because of your association with Verik and Larissa, perhaps you heard the revelry and wanted to see what the occasion was, perhaps you just hope to find some free food or even help yourself to someone else’s gold – regardless of the reason, you’ve found your way into the celebration.
A couple of banners adorn the entrance to the wake they each are of a crimson red bearing the crest of the Vanderboren family

As you enter, you pass a Strange-looking Gnomish woman wearing mourning clothes at the entrance to the park (Kora), greeting all who enter. Various well-dressed people wander the park, talking in hushed tones. A young drow noble woman, her long white hair pulled back into a ponytail, stands talking to an older woman – clearly her mother or some other relative – her eyes scanning the assemblage as she sips from a viper designed goblet. The young Drow woman hold a chain that is attached to two human slaves that she seems to like to flaunt around as a status of power.

Elsewhere, near a table with various Darklands plants and fungi delicacies and a centerpiece of a Giant beetle shell serving as a large bowl of various fire roasted vermin on sticks heavily seasoned, a Drow woman, a couple daggers adorning her hips, talks to her three companions, a drow male, a duergar, and a pale skinned half-Drow, all dressed somewhat less finely than the bulk of the guests.

Currently, Lady Lavinia Vanderboren is not present

Kora
the Young Drow lady
the young drow lady's relative
the drow woman with daggers
the Drow male
the duergar
the pale skinned half-Drow

when you arrive please describe your character as others see you in this scene. it is most likely that you are dressed appropriately for a wake.

Each of you have had connections with the Vanderboren family, you know of their Daughter, Lavinia and her older brother Vanthus. You are also familiar with the Major Domo of the house, an apparently bleached gnome by the name of Kora.

Now recruiting for a Savage tide game but with a twist…

A little story; A few years back my face-to-face group ended a campaign and I asked what they wanted for the next game. Half voted for a Pirate game and the other half wanted to do something in the Underdark (aka Darklands) so we could play drow. (Can I still say that word?)

So, I pondered what to do and started looking at different things then while looking at Into the Darklands book, I saw there is a Sightless Sea. Then I saw that the sightless sea is inhabited by sailing races and so I decided why not do both.

Long story short (or is that too late?) behold - Savage Tide in the Darklands.

So If you are familiar with the Savage Tide AP this will be very much the same overall but there are several changes to make it different as well.

First and foremost, Some traditional Golorian lore will be modified to fit the game. The game will begin in the Drow city of Telderist (this city has been modified from what is already published so please take the time to read the players guide linked here

Now for some New lore that every character would know

Once you have completed your character and I have reviewed it, you will proceed to the link I will provide the link via PM (or is it DM?) for the pre-selection role-play thread

Here is the set-up for the roleplay:

Adventurers Verik and Larissa Vanderboren died one month ago, their ship tragically burning to the waterline in the harbor of Delvingulf, killing all on board.

Please feel free to post questions regarding character creation and submissions

I do not have a definitive timeline as to how long the recruitment will remain open but I do intend to announce the end at least 24 hours before closing. Any interest post made before the closing will be given time to create their charcter.

Ok, this is only an interest check -Do not submit any character concepts

Now to more details:

A few years back I asked my regular group what they wanted for their next campaign. I got a split vote between pirates and something with drow or underdark theme.

So I pondered this and started looking at the choices. I took a look at the Darklands in Golorian. There I noticed, the sightless Sea and how races of the darklands could sail about there. And then it hit me.

Savage Tide AP but move the setting to the Darklands.

I moved or rather changed, Sasserine to Telderist, a Drow city on the very edge of Drow territory.

I then re-wrote the entire players guide to fit the new setting. And been playing this converted AP ever since

I decided that I might try this same game here.

The game will be Pathfinder 1e but I added elements from pathfinder 2e and will also eventually include mythic.

Obviously everyone would be from the Darklands which changes up character creation a bit

Of course the Vanderboren's will now be a Drow Noble house.

In keeping with what was at my regular table a small selection of templates are available at character creation.

I also converted and added Whisper Gnome using the race builder (20 RP)

My intention is to use theater of the mind for combat as much as possible. I feel sometimes maps pulls away from role playing and becoming more a math exercise.

Thoughts?
Questions?
Interested?

Looking to create a bard adventure. Does not require the party to be all bard. But a definite music feel to the game.

Looking for some ideas for either a longer campaign or even a short on ahot.

Let's hear what you got.

discuss things here

Each of you have received a notice from your applicable commanding officer. you are each to report to S.D.F expeditionary battalion HQ briefing room 3.

report to Colonel Arvin for a special assignment.

you each reach the briefing room, and are awaiting for Colonel Arvin to arrive for the mission briefing.

you may introduce yourselves and converse until the Colonel arrives.

I am currently running this campaign with my tabletop group. and was wondering what interest there would be here.

first off -- this is an interest check only to see if it is worth it. when I presented this idea on a starfinder group on facebook I was told no-way would it work. calling starfinder a war game (like warhammer)

I refused to accept that and went forward anyway with me table-top group. it is going ok, though not entirely as expected.

anyway here is the pitch:

this game uses the standard Starfinder game setting, mostly as written, with some additions.

This game will be starfinder mashed up with Dr. Who, and Star Wars, and maybe other Sci-fi stuff I can dig up.

Changes to the setting

Pretty much just as detailed in the Core rule book except as follows:

The Azlanti Star Empire is a rather militaristic and very highly advanced civilization. They have been experimenting with time travel and have made several major breakthroughs.

This did not come without consequences. several time-rifts have recently been appearing. Opening worm holes to far off star systems, even other galaxies. This has brought new threats to the known star systems (including the Azlanti Star Empire) but this has also affected the Pact Worlds.

The Starfinder Society became the first to respond to these new threats. A new organization was formed, called the Starfinder Defense Force (the S.D.F.) a military arm of the Starfinder Society as well as leaders in the research of these newly appearing Time Rifts.

Where do you come in?

Each of the party are a part of the S.D.F in one way or another (up to you guys) You have been assembled by Brigadier Arvin, to make contact with Captain Vundemeer of the 3rd Expeditionary battalion on the remote planet Telos in the Telos system.

Telos is the larger of two planets orbiting a very small star. The only planet with an atmosphere capable of supporting life. But due to its distance from the sun as well as the smaller size of the sun, Telos is an ice tundra world. And is a recent discovery near the edge of the TABORI CLUSTER (page 469 of the core book) very close to the Azlanti Star Empire borders.

It is the belief of the S.D.F. that the Telos system was relocated to the Tabori Cluster via a Temporal rift created somewhere inside the Azlanti Star Empire.

The Last transmission from the Expeditionary force indicated that there is some sort of subterranean fortress found under the ice. Now all contact has been lost.

At your disposal, Brigadier Arvin is sending you with the S.D.F. chief Scientific advisor, Dr. Mortimer to travel to Telos and see what has happened to Captain Vundemeer and his expeditionary squad.

This will not be expected to start till after the new year, also I will take at most 4 players (I would like at least 1 player to be new to PbP here on Paizo.

Do Not Submit Characters right now! I am only looking for interest in such a game.

Ok I searched all over, but when did the tribal scars feat change to eliminate the +6 hp?

and I noticed that the Adventurer's guide (the source for the feat) is not even listed in the available resources for PFS anymore.

is this feat even PFS legal?, can someone help me find when are where this feat changed?

OK, twice now I saw request for someone to GM an AP.

And twice someone picked it up rather quickly,

I have been looking for a Wrath of righteous game for a long time. very few offered and most have been private.

been passed up a couple of times and promised a game a few more (these never came about)

so anyone out there interested in this?

I tried asking this a while back and got lots of volunteers but all of them pretty much vanished from the boards right after that.

So in short I am asking someone to pick up a Wrath game, we are not very far into it, in fact we are still in need of a recruitment thread.

In fact Gestalt and fewer players is an option for me as well...

OK hypothetical here:

looking at the entry for the Oathbound Paladin:

Paladins who take up an oath may make a sacred promise to their god or temple to perform some specific and grand action associated with the oath. For example, an oathbound paladin who takes the Oath of Vengeance may be tasked with killing the orc warlord who razed her home city, while a paladin with the Oath against the Wyrm may be asked to secure a nonaggression pact with a family of dragons. When a paladin completes the sacred promise, the oath is fulfilled, and she may abandon the oath if she so chooses; she may then select another oath or become a standard paladin or a different paladin archetype.

so based on this what happens if someone else fulfills the oath.

say My Paladin is joining an adventuring group (has not joined yet) but before I join the party kills the creature that I have the Oath to kill.

thus is the oath fulfilled? I just made a vow or promise to my god to defeat this creature yet I get there and it was already killed by someone else.

technically it is oath fulfilled but I would think that there would be some repercussions as I did not fulfill the oath nor was I even present when it was fulfilled.

(note that this is NOT PFS, rather a PbP game where I would be joining later in the adventure )

kind of need some help here and something official would be better.

We are using auto bonus progression and I am playing a fighter with unarmed fighter archetype.

can I apply my weapon attunement on my unarmed strikes?

some are saying no because weapon attunement only applies to manufactured weapons and thus only the unarmed strikes of a monk or brawler count.

Hero Lab agrees with this idea and does not consider unarmed strikes as a weapon unless you are a monk or brawler.

was wondering if there might be any thoughts to having some Pirate style scenario's to go along with Skull and Shackles and Plunder and Peril.

maybe even more ways to earn Infamy and Disrepute.

I GM'd Emerald Spire for a second time. when I reported it and assigned my GM credit to a new level 1 character it says that I already GM'd it and got no credit.

should I not worry about that and apply the chronicle sheet anyway?

OK was doing some thinking / daydreaming / brainstorming / or whatever you would call it.

I was thinking of changing up the Skull and Shackles AP a little bit and was wondering if this sounds doable or even desirable.

changes I was looking at:

1. move the setting from the Shackles to real world Caribbean.

2. change the religion to basically real world religions.

3. vastly reduce magic items but still have magic as something mysterious, possibly use the auto progression idea from Unchained.

4. make the game as guns everywhere (basically a good ole Pirates of the Caribbean / Black Sails kind of feel.)

thoughts? comments? criticism?

ok I GM a scenerio for a Tier 1-2 but the scenerio also has Tiers 4-5 and 6-7 do I have to use the same tier that was GM'd? or can I apply it as GM credit for a different Tier (assuming that the character is of the appropriate level.

ie I gm Tier 1-2 but my lowest level character is level 4 can I apply that GM chronicle to the level 4 character and what Tier do I get apply?

Our group is again in need of a GM.

We have been together for quite some time having finished book 1 and 2 of Carrion Crown together.

Our first GM became a parent and could no longer continue,

Our second GM just started with us and had to drop due to RL.

We seek a new GM once more we have just started book 3

here is the link to our gameplay thread.

OK here is what I was wondering, Normally there is one person that regularly DM's, and that person cannot make it to a session, so I decide to get some GM experience and take over for a scenario.

looking over everyone's character I find a character that has purchased a magic item that was too expensive with regard to the amount of Fame that character had at the time of purchase.

now the said character does have the correct fame, but for the last scenario the character did not. since I was not the GM for the last scenario, I did not know this.

what do I do moving forward.

OK, I know how the feat works to increase the spell level of a spell.

here is what I want to see if it can be done;

an Aasimar has daylight as a SLA which is a level 3 spell, I want to heighten it to level 4 so that it cannot be removed by a deeper darkness spell.

is there a feat or ability that can allow this? I have not found any so far but there are many more books out there than I have access to.

has there ever been a conversion made of the Blood mage from 3.0/3.5?

We are group of fun players having nearly finished the second book of Carrion Crown AP.

nearly all original players since the start.

we have lost our GM due to RL commitments. As a group we would love to continue but need a GM that is willing to take on this endeavor.

Link to the current game

we are in the middle of the last battle of Book 2 (but we could probably narrate the end of that to move the group forward.

please take a look and let us know if you would like to take up the mantle.

I am sorry if this has been answered before..

character has Raging grappler rage power improved grapple, greater grapple, rapid grappler and vicious stomp feats.

level 2 barbarian/level 7 fighter (unarmed fighter archetype)

So is this sound correct: (assume all checks succeed)

Round 1 initiate a grapple. (raging grappler power allows me to inflict unarmed damage now)

Round 2: greater grapple allows me to maintain as a move action to inflict unarmed damage,

no at this point since i maintained the grapple raging grappler allows me to give the "victim" the prone condition.

this will trigger the Viscious stomp ability allowing me to make an Attack of opportunity (clever Wrestler fighter ability allows this)

Ok now greater grapple feat allows me to make another grapple check (maintain again) to inflict unarmed damage.

OK so since I was able to maintain the grapple as a move action, now rapid grappler feat kicks in, allowing another grapple check as a swift to "maintain" and inflict unarmed damge again.

Ok I got the answer about trip...thanks for the help.

new thought.

character is a fighter/alchemist.

can I have the conductive property on a weapon and use that property to add my bomb damage to my weapon damage?

conductive ability

bombs are Su. and require a ranged touch attack.

just curious:

back in 3.0 days the improved trip feat would allow a free melee attack if the trip was successful.

is there a feat or ability in Pathfinder that also allows this?

perhaps a rage power?
a fighter Archetype ability?

a monk ability?

couple questions really:

1. is there a magic item that allows a non caster to cast a single spell. (I would like my unarmed fighter to use Force Punch spell, or a self only blood rage spell)

2. how about custom items? can I have an amulet of mighty fists but instead fill a bracer or glove slot instead? (BTW same character)

Obviously I am not creating these with creation feats but can it be done within the PFS rules?

Ok I am very confused on the new factions.

I was part of the Sczarni but now I had to switch.

how does the switch work?

what about already earned Prestige points? do they transfer or do I start over?

I am going with The Exchange but I don't really know how this gets reported. as the web site is not updated yet and so I keep getting prestige reported to Sczarni.

any official help is appreciated.

This adventure is a series of various old modules re done for Pathfinder rules and altered to have a connection to each other with one overarching storyline.

I also relocated all of them onto Golorian.

Some modules are old 3.0 some are old 2nd (or 1st) edition, some are newer 3.5 stuff. None are official pathfinder modules though.

Here is the twist for recruitment.

Create a character back story. I am not telling you where the adventure takes place; you can start your character anywhere in the game world you want to. After character selection there will be some individual role playing to move the selected characters to the required starting point, and meet your fellow adventurers through the role-playing.

Start with a concept and a backstory. No Novels please but create a personality. Give your character some motivation. But see below…

Important info to include in your story!!!
Somehow, your character has to be in possession of a silver key. I don’t care how you got it. Your back story can revolve around this if you wish. The Key is non magical and you have never discovered any lock or door that it will open but for whatever reason you have it.

Pictures are great – got a picture of your character? Then link it in your application.
Along those lines: want to give your character a theme song? post a link to that as well. this will have no bearing on selection just a little something ot have fun and get some inspiration for your character.

I am looking for 5 or 6 depending on the number of applicants and will keep recruitment open till I have a good choice to choose from. (I will give 24 hours’ notice before closing recruitment).

Also based on learning from table #1...I do not want an entire party of characters that all try to stay in the back and wait to see what everyone else is going to do first.

Now on to the meat and potatoes of the character:

20 point-buy for stats.
2 traits as usual (any Paizo source including other AP’s)
One drawback allowed.
Max starting gold for class
Start at level 1
Max HP at level 1 - HP beyond level 1 are PFS standard (1/2 HD+1)
We will use the medium xp advancement.
No evil alignments please.

Allowed Races:
Core (human, dwarf, elf, etc.)
Aasimar
Fetchling
Tiefling
Changeling
Kitsune
Samsaran
Suli

Allowed Classes:
All Paizo (including ACG playtest)*

The following are exceptions:

No firearms – so no gunslingers (Using older edition stuff and I never did include firearms in it when I converted)

Alchemist - though, I like the bomb concept, I really am not a fan of the wacky mutagens that turn you into some monster or whatever (seems to Jekyll and Hyde for my taste), Also – I have Alchemists’ in the story, but they are your traditional Alchemists (wizards or experts or whatever with a lot of ranks in craft Alchemy), making alchemist fire, and smoke sticks, or whatever; as well as knowing the formula’s for crafting certain items (story line foreshadowing)
If you want to play an alchemist please bear this in mind during character creation. I am not going to outright ban the class, let’s just put on our team player caps here and be reasonable in your choices.

No Sythesist Summoner (not because of balance issues, just I have a hard time following the game mechanics of it) other summoners are fine.

No 3rd party – Period - do not ask (this include psionics)

I use Hero Lab and have just about every add-on Pathfinder data package that comes with it. (You can send me a por file or I can enter it in myself.)
…Let me know and I will PM my e-mail…

*ACG classes may require changes as the playtest is updated.

About myself:
I am in several PbP games I post at various times throughout the day.
Weekends are slow times I may not be available to post.

Timezone: I am Eastern coast US

I am looking at about 1 post a day but I am flexible. We are reasonable people and sometimes things happen. Any advance notice is appreciated and I will provide when necessary as well.

I will reserve 1 seat (maybe more) for a first time PbP player needing to get into a game. If this is you please indicate that in your application.

An Alias is not required initially, but it is appreciated.

Ok, Now my “pet-peeves”
I am stickler for clarity in character sheets and postings. As the reader I don’t want to be left guessing what your character is attempting to do. Or what your abilities are.
(More on this when the party is selected)

I hate these long strings of bonuses to a die roll without some explanation for each one. I need to be able to verify it off your character sheet or it is explained in an ooc addendum to your post. (Somewhere that is clear to me to understand) I will have enough to manage without having to figure out your character’s abilities as well.

I have limited access to the SRD info when at work (admin blocks) so, if there is something that needs me to look up, please be patient as I will have to wait till I am at home to look it up.

Please let me know if you want to take a prestige class, I want to work it into the story as best I can. And on that note, let’s keep the multi-classing to a reasonable level think character development not power development.

I have a fire elemenatist sorcerer If I cast shocking grasp coverted to fire damage using my bloodline arcana would I still apply the +3 to hit if the opponent is in metal aromor or using a metal weapon?

Due to recent game failures and or DM /player drops I have two characters that I have been wanting to play.

one was built for a Jade regent game and now going on two years without getting into one (at least one that lasted more than 20 posts)

the other I only ever played in some homebrew stuff but would be an interesting character for a WotW game.

this is the gameplay thread. I will be begining individual introductions via spoiler. please only read the spoiler's addressed to you.

Here is where we can discuss what really is the "root of all Evil"

if you can not use power attack with a thrown weapon then why can you use raging brutality feat with thrown weapons yet you must be using the power attack feat.

so an ability that can only be used with a feat that cannot be used for the weapon?

trait says:

but according to the size modifier chart a large size is -1 so as your Eidolon gets bigger and more menacing then the intimidate bonus becomes a penalty?

in my case I am a gnome (size small) the eidolon is size medium so what is the bonus? if any.

If I get the large evolution what is the bonus to intimidate? (according to the chart it is a -1 penalty?)

random dice rolling

Looking for any GM's out there that may be interested in starting a Jade regent AP or is in need of a new player in an existing one (not too far along though) or if your group is anticipating an opening soon
...
Lou here has been trying to get into one for a year now most of the ones he started in have died or been shut down for various reasons.

so if your group is looking to for a skilled cook and amatuer artist let me know ...

this character has gone without a Way of the wicked game for 13 different applications.

any will GM's out there looking to bolster their evil doers ranks in a "Way of the Wicked" campaign let me know...

the info is in the alias profile.

prefer to start at the beginning. but if there is an opening mid game - I could make it work without any PvP

if there are none out there then such is life...

The Gameplay thread for the Coins of Power AP

here is the discussion thread for my adventures

My shadowcaster wizard already has darkvision 60' what happens at 5th level when he is supposed to get shadowsight which grants 60' darkvision.

does he get 120' darkvision or has no effect and just keep the 60' darkvision?

I am wondering the best way to create a native American themed adventure but cannot figure out the best way to place it in the Pathfinder world.

where is the best place that fits in the campaign setting?
would this be another faction or type

I am currently playing in the Serpent's skull adventure path (just starting actually) anyway our party currently consistes of the following:

half-elf ranger (archer)
elf rogue (dagger thrower)
halfling fighter (thinks he is a dwarf-uses a battleaxe and like to drink)
gnome wizard - shadow caster illusionist (me)

as you can see there is no real healing or divine casting (except the ranger but we are only level one right now)

so the question comes up if I should (as the wizard) multi class into a divne caster (cleric or oracle) to provide necessary healing or should I stay wizard

My thoughts were as follows:
1) become a cleric of the gnome god of illusions (don't recall the name right now) (trickery and magic doamins)&(get bladed scarf prof. for free also)

2) Oracle of the heavens gain some cool boosts to my illusion(pattern) spells and go with the haunted curse

3) skip all of this and stay wizard and hope for the best until our ranger can cast spells

also our fighter has also volunteered to multi into cleric but I don't want to hinder out only real damage dealer right now.

the ranger and rogue players are relatively new to Pathfinder and it may be to much for them to multiclass until they are more comfortable with the game.
