Today’s Blessed Clerical Fireball Preview #5 Blog

Behold Kyra, the first PRPG Cleric

I’ll bet Sarenrae is almost as proud as Jason.

It's 3:02 am Cheliax NY time, let lose Paizonians.

Hellooo FIREBALL !

Did the scimitar threat range decrease, or is that a typo?

Maybe something else altogether ? Jason should be here shortly. But it's got to be a typo right ?

yay turn undead as a feat. Good about time. Channel is still there but reigned in a bit. not bad

I as *so* playing a cleric of Sarenrae !

Concentration change is perhaps the most revolutionary. First of all it gets rid of skill tax on casters. But more importantly, casting defensively is now much more risky

Beta Kyra casting a 3rd level spell:

8 ranks + 5 Wis bonus + 3 class skill = +16 vs DC: (15+3) = 18

fails on 1, 5% chance.

PFRPG Kyra casting a 3rd level spell:

8 (caster level) + 5 Wis bonus = +13 vs DC: (15 + 2*3) = 21

fails on 1-7, 35% chance.

Now we're talking.

Hey, why are there two preview threads guys ?

Sombody's got a Demogorgon complex.

: )

[baron arem heshvaun]

Maybe we can merge the preview threads.

Or we could launch the Savage Tide. : )

I like the caster level check to succeed at remove curse, so it's not automatic (more like dispel magic). Especially now that curses have been added as a category of affliction (along with disease and poison), it's nice to see that they have been made a little more dangerous and not so easy to shrug off. I hope to see one or two more good curses in the final book.

I wonder how the caster level check will work for paladins.

There were 5 threads @ fighter and 3 @ ranger, so actually we are improving.

But of course, some Sebastian or other Poodle will come out of nowhere, roll a natural 1 on Spot check and start 2 extra threads. It's just Paizo forums, don't fight it :)

[baron arem heshvaun]

The poodle does not even bother with the spot roll.

I'm happy Domain spells are back.

Jason must be having his board game night.

I like this very much as well.

Time to relearn a few old tricks. Jason will be keeping us on our toes.

Jason said it's a typo.

Chain mail AC + 6 ?

especially when you consider new feats that allow enemies to move with you if you attempt to 5-foot step away to cast a spell

Very interesting ...

[seekerofshadowlight]

called step up it was one of the feats he posted for playtesting. It may have changed

Are the previous domain bonus spells gone?!

You would think 'fireball' on a thread title would light a spark.

Alas, the other thread has far more posts and attention.. Therefor, to keep things simple, I am going to lock this thread.
