New to the Party

Hey all,

I've wanted to join the playtest much sooner, but due to certain prior agreements I was prevented from doing so. That time has now expired and I am interested in joining in. I know how to playtest and I have seen the schedule, so I'm all good in that respect. What I don't know is what exactly is Paizo looking for.

Are they looking for 3.5 vs PfRPG tests?
Are they looking for balanced PfRPG is with itself?
Are they more interested in play reports without suggestions or play reports with suggestions?
What level range is most valuable?
Does Paizo want them posted on the forum or emailed?

Things of that nature.

Thanks for the help in advance.

Welcome to the party. The way I am playtesting is for the balance between races/classes/feats only looking at PFRPG. The other aspect I am working with is the ease of using my existing 3.5 modules with the new rules.

Also, is there a "working" "Pathfinderized" version of the goblin and orc and other commonly used monster races that have class levels? i.e. so to put a group of PCs vs a group of orcs for internal comparison?

In short- I don't think so.

They haven't much looked at monsters yet. They are still looking at PC issues.

Just use the 3.5 monsters. Any class levels you want to add, use the pathfinder versions. In the case of preferred class, give either + 1 HP or + 1 skill point per level.

There are some rules in Beta about creating monsters as well as converting them. Overall, you can use 3.5 monsters, but there is a slighly burried rule about undead using their Chrasima modifyer for hp instead of Constitution, and that using this, you should change mindless undead (skeletons and zombies) to have 10 Cha.

I suggest going to the announcement board and reading the playtest schedual sticky, and the playtest board, and reading its sticky.

You will also notice there are design boards. The top one is what they are currently getting feed back on.

I'm pretty sure Paizo wants feedback at all levels of play. that being said, there's probably more feedback coming from the lower levels (1-5) than others, since many peopls started a new campaign for testing and started it at 1st level.

As for feedback, use the appropriate design forum per the playtest schedule, and if you have feeback on other issues, you can post about them in either the playtest forum or the general forum for PRPG.

Thank you.
