I have to ask: Why is the Big Game Hunter feat so much more powerful than the other Bonus feats? Or are the <blank>-born feats better than I think they are?

I'm not sure Big Game Hunter is as powerful as you think. It probably should have some sort of prerequisite, though...

But it only kicks in against Large foes, and that's not something the player controls. It's also worth noting that large foes tend to have poor armor classes and a LOT of hit points, so at higher levels, a +1 to hit barn-sized monsters isn't that great, while the +2 damage is relatively negligible when a monster has hundreds of hit points.

Still, it is a good feat. It's certainly the best combat feat of them all, but a lot of encounters in Runelords aren't combats...

Maybe this is too much to ask, but could there be an alternate PDF download where the pages are layout on 11 x 17 (tabloid) paper? I have access to a pretty nice Color LaserJet printer that can print full bleed tabloid spreads, and I would like to get some copies to my players.

PS: You'd be surprised what companies throw away so they don't have to ship stuff back to the states from Puerto Rico... I once had to destroy $30,000 worth of SGI media production equipment - all in perfectly working order - when the company left Puerto Rico. I kept a keyboard though :)

You should be able to do that from within Adobe Reader. The specifics will vary based on OS, reader version, and printer driver options, but explore around in your Page Setup and Print dialogue box options. The first step is to set the page size to 11x17, and then find the option that lets you print spreads (or "2-up pages").


I don't understand, can I order a printed version of this book along for example with the AP #1 by international shipment, or it is a pdf exclusive product?

Quick questions... are the regional feats in the Rise of the Runelords Player's Guide supposed to be in addition to the feats one would get at first level or are they just another option? In other words, if I were playing a human could I take my normal two feats plus City Born or just one feat plus City Born? Thanks!

Using Acrobat Reader, is there a way to print the maps without having the building numbers on them? I have Acrobat Reader version 8.something-or-other...

Thanks in advance,

They are options, not bonus feats.

Don't thank me too fast, it seems i was wrong...

Rise of the Runelords Player's Guide, p13 :
Feats of Varisia
The people of Varisia display a variety of innate skills and unique talents. Subject to your GM’s approval, you may choose any of the following feats as a bonus feat during character creation.

Starting with PF3, if you have Select Tool active and can get a "plus" mouse pointer to appear on a map, you should be able to left-click to highlight the map, then right-click and Copy Image, then paste it into another graphics program (like Paint) to get a labelless map. PF4 is good for getting a Sandpoint map that way. Sadly this doesn't work with the Player's Guide or PF1-2 PDFs.

This works in Adobe Reader 8. I'm not sure if it works in Adobe Reader 9.

What kinds of names do Chelaxians have? The Player's Guide has examlpes of Shoanti and Varisian names, but not Chelaxian (at least not that I could find).

Chelaxian names, and other country examples, are covered in the Campaign Setting Book,

Chelaxians, for the most part, are the typical European-type of humans, so the normal names you see for humans in fantasy RPG games work fine. The Shoanti and Varisians were off of the norm, so we gave some suggestions there.

If you want examples of Chelaxian names, the current AP is a great place to see lots of them.


It would be good to see this classic revamped and made with the new pathfinder series..I got the older ones and it was a good series.
