"Bon anniversaire Paizo !!"
I think there is a minor error in the stat block : Domintate Monster has a lower DC than Daze (it should be DC 28 I think).
Did everyone notice that the Golem's special attacks have a DC formula of 10 + 1/2 x creature's HD + hability modifier ??
That's a good news because with Pathfinder you can use enhanced versions of low CR monsters and their special attacks remain dangerous (in 3.5, you had to boost their tied hability to an incredibly high level for the same effect).
The bad news is that the poor saves will have even more problems at higher levels.
Shatter the Earth would be difficult for a rogue (1/3 of success) but is an auto fail for a fighter in FP armor.

Bingo, yes. It just wasn't mentioned in the stat blocks.
I'm more curious (as Shisumo pointed out) about the critical feats - in the forum released beta most were not tied to specific weapons, only Powerful Critical was. Error or preview of what's to come? The public wants to know! :)
Happy Anniversary Paizo!
I was just coming to the boards to post "Tuesdays are the worst days, waiting for the Wednesday Preview" - you totally rock Hank!

Happy happy happy anniversary
and the Golem is awesomeness! Too bad my players are only level 1 or I would sick the Golem on them!
Tell them to optimize better :)
Or perhaps they could talk to it and gain some valuable information (if you set it up in a beliveable manner). Not every counter needs to start with "Hassan Chop!!!"

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's an error; I'll see if I can get Ross to fix that (I've already put him through so much with this blog!).
"Eyes of the Forum" should be a new editorial feat. ;)

Cool - it's gone from Staggering and Stunning Critical, but not Critical Focus :) [which does *sound* like it should be "focused" on one weapon.]
Don't smite me Ross!

Well done. So what ya all have planned for year 10? ;)
So till then, triple the HD, make it Colossal sized, and slap the Paragon template on it as a good start?

I was just sort of thinking of adding the word "uber" in front of all its feats, skills, and powers. This doesn't actually change any of the game mechanics, but it sure makes it sound more impressive.

Hey KaeYoss:

Tease! LOL

So we've seen The Future of Paizo videos and Lisa offered to answer any questions we had about where the company is going in that thread. But I wanna know, on this illustrious anniversary, where the company came from. I know bits and pieces, but I wanna hear from Lisa or Vic or someone else who was here at the beginning how and why Paizo came about and how it evolved into being what it is today. Where'd the name come from? Why a golem? Why purple? Why so much win?

I'll start a new thread for history questions and answer these there. Its a good idea to look backwards too. :)
