Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Technology Guide (PFRPG)

What are all of the types of firearms in the book?

We'll find out soon enough. It's only three hours and four minutes until launch, if my sense of when this baby drops is correct.

EDIT: And may I just say this is my most enthusiastic PDF purchase since Mythic Adventures. Always was one for the more oddball/out-there stuff.

One dead level, nine levels of +1 arcane casting class.

A recently created character of mine may need to take this, in that case...

What are all of the types of firearms in the book?

Too many to list. The ranged weapons table is an entire page of all firearms. There are lasers, plasma cannons, grav guns, railguns, sonic weapons, and more exotic things that shoot Nantes.

Any Laser rifles or Assault Rifles?

Later. For now, I'll just be standing waaaaayyyy over here, around behind the corner, while the shame is heaped upon you, and then, after everyone has left and no one's around to notice, then I'll proudly stand with you.

Heh, nah the movie wasn't as bad as it was made out to be. Just not as awesome as the story. But then I've always loved William Gibson's work. I think we've found the three people who actually liked the movie :P

I think we are up to four, counting myself. I saw the movie first and then read the story. There's just no way they could have pulled that off with the movie tech they had when it came out. A Neuromancer movie has been in development hell since the beginning of time. They better not screw that up.

Make that six... I enjoyed it a lot, even if it doesn't completely synch up with the original story.

I wasn't too thrilled with that movie, but I absolutely loved Strange Days. No as much cyber tech, but definitely cyberpunk.

In 2014, it's possible to make a good Neuromancer movie. Back when it first sank into Development Hell, it would have been a studio-bankrupting challenge.

Personally, I'm still hoping a for a movie version of Altered Carbon. Although it's more post cyberpunk than cyberpunk.

Now I'm wondering about the various kinds of heavy weapons... I imagine there are a lot of those too? Is there anything whose description makes it sound like industrial mining equipment modified to form personal heavy ordnance?

I keep reading this as "the various kinds of heavy metal" and it still works, and only makes me want this product more.

Stupid Pacific Time releases.... :P

I know how you feel, man. Every time I think I'm at the edge of my hype, I get more hype. I'm going to explode before too long. 12 AM PDT... that's only two hours forty minutes away. Why can I not make time speed up?!

I just want to know why UPS is holding my package in a small town in Arizona for this long.

Not as such, the heavy weapons are clearly weapons first. Some examples are the x-laser, vortex gun, and plasmathrower (flamethrower on steroids).

What is the Vortex Gun?

Can I make a Stormtrooper?

Can I make a Stormtrooper?

Wimpy Film version or Badass EU version?

Plasmathrower? You, sir, have made me more excited than I ever thought. I need this book.

I need this book more than I need caffeine, and I'm about 99% certain I'm a caffeine addict.

What is the Vortex Gun?

A three barreled shotgun that fires graviton particles. For when you absolutely, positivity, need to mess up everything in a 100 foot cone. Accept no substitutes.

I *LIKE* it!

Hmmm... if I ever form a business that becomes popular, I want to do all of my releases by Samoa Standard Time, just to watch people squirm.

The X-Laser sounds like it's one or two steps down in size and damage from a siege weapon laser cannon.

Can I have the stats for the Laser Rifle?

Yeah. It's the laser from Real Genius. You make a single attack roll, and resolve that against the AC of everything in the line of fire out to the maximum range. It shoots through everything, and is only stopped by failing to overcome hardness, fire resistance, or fire immunity of something it hits.

I was thinking more like Delta Squad from Star Wars Republic Commando. Elite Commandos.

2d6 fire damage, x2 crit. Touch attack. There are a lot of special rules for lasers such as that they can't affect invisible creatures, but can shoot through force walls like they aren't there.

I don't want to give a full copy paste because paizo asked us not to.

So EU Stormtroopers

I may have to do questionable things to get this and the ACG now because waiting until payday next week is out of the question. I put a bunch of campaign development on hold until this came out so I could follow Piazo's lead and not reinvent the wheel.

[aside]You should read Survivor's Quest. Among other things, it features four members of the 501st being awesome.[/aside]

There's always plasma donation. And it would be a fun kind of coincidence to buy a book with rules for donating plasma with extreme prejudice by donating plasma at a clinic.

TMI, but my skin is writhing with anticipation!

Especially if when you went to the blood bank, and they put the needle in your arm, ionized plasma came surging out of your body instead of blood.

That would be awesome.

And then they donate it to a robot with a rare antivirus disorder?

I just want to know why UPS is holding my package in a small town in Arizona for this long.

I noticed the same thing a few times recently and then I'd just get my package all of a sudden. It seems like Paizo is shipping them UPS but then UPS hands it off to another carrier at some point if it will save them cost. I'm not positive, it just seems kinda like that's whats going on.

It's live for everyone to buy!

Waiting for it to finish personalizing before it will let me download it ~.~

UPS sometimes uses the USPS for some deliveries when it's cheaper.

I don't have a problem with that. I just wish they'd post when the handoff was made in a timely fashion and give me the new tracking number.

I felt the same way.

Wow, looking through the book, is the price of the monowhip correct? Or was there an extra 0 added in there on accident? Because that doesn't seem right at all..

Firstly i'd like to thank the paizo staff for great products. Secondly I was wondering if there will be any radiation stuff for the alchemist at any time, discoveries or alchemy i'd really love to see something like that especially like a radiation bomb discovery!

Reading through this now, neat stuff, but there's at least one outstanding issue. Paizo needs to step up their proofreading and editing, two examples being the cybersoldier's Cybernetic Combat feature and the Savage Technologist's rage feature changes. Cybernetic Combat flip flops on whether the bonus applies to just attack bonuses or damage bonuses, and doesn't indicate that it's both as I believe in intends, and also specifies that it doesn't stack with the bonus from a class feature that it outright replaces anyway. Savage Tech's rage says that increases to strength apply to dex instead at higher levels, but I *think* they mean the bonuses to constitution are transferred to dex as described at the beginning of the feature.

I'm pretty sure I get what's meant to be conveyed in these features but it's still a little confusing and, frankly, irksome. This isn't even a unique problem to this book, as in past books it's apparent that there's communication issues amongst the staff.

Having said all that, neat book.

I think having a Primal Steelblood Bloodrager wielding a badass chainsaw just topped my list of awesome.

Yay! It's here. I'm saddened that power armor is an artifact, but at the same time, the ASF was too high for me to use it for my plan anyway. I'll have to talk to my GM about using the section about making tech versions of magical items to reskin my previously planned clockwork construct armor into "power armor".

Aside from that, loving much of the stuff in here.

Imagine a nuclear weapon that only kills living things with an intelligence score, but leaves structures, objects, and mindless organisms intact.

It's Viridi's Reset Bomb from Kid Icarus: Uprising?!

EDIT: No, scratch that, the Reset Bomb ignored Animals and Fey too.

From Paizo? Dunno, but it could easily show up in an "Treasures" section of one of the Iron Gods AP volumes.

From a 3PP? I'm certain at least one of them has such stuff in development. {whistles innocently}

The Charge Cycling deed from the Techslinger archetype seems incredibly powerful.

Charge Cycling + Signature Deed = Near-Infinite Energy?

Only if you combine it with Covet Charge + Signature Deed. That, of course, would allow you to fire a completely drained timeworn firearm you've chosen Technic Training for whenever the heck you felt like it.

Oh yeah, Covet Charge + Signature Deed is a much easier way of doing it than Charge Recycling + Signature Deed. Thanks for pointing that out.

I don't think you can use both with Signature Deed though, the feat says nothing about allowing you to take it multiple times. Still Covet Charge + Signature Deed it is! You can fire almost every tech weapon for free! =D

Since the AP takes steps to give you charges, and you could always just use grit without the signature deed when you got desperate, you'd probably be better off with a signature deed that did more.

Currently, favorite weapons in terms of design are the Zero-Rifle, Plasmathrower, Vortex Gun, and Arc Rifle
