That's so wrong.

It really took me a while to figure out what I was looking at.

Yeah, I was trying to figure out what happened to his nipple before I stumbled upon the hideous truth.

New campaign starting tomorrow evening in Golarion in Isger. As some of you are aware, it'll eventually lead into Red Hand of Doom come 5th level. I'm torn between playing an Inquisitor of Asmodeus from Cheliax to address the goblinoid problem and to root out resistance coming in from Galt or Andoran -or- to be a revolutionary ranger from Andoran specializing in guerrilla warfare who seeks to aid against the goblinoid problem and inspire revolution from Cheliax.

We're beginning from scratch at 1st level and talents are allowed. I was leaning toward the Inquisitor, but I'm feeling a bit emo about the 1/day judgments and with the spells, you cannot gain extra due to wisdom modifiers and limited to only 1 first level spell to cast a day despite knowing 2. Playing the ranger would be the easier way out, but the first brings in more role playing ideas with a group that I'm being told will be more role-play oriented rather than roll-play like my Tuesday night Beer'n'Pretzels game.

Thanks in advance! =)

EDIT: nekked new campaign for TOTP

I have to say, I have been impressed with the Inquisitor at my table. He starts off slow but once he gets rolling he becomes an interesting class.

From a roleplaying perspective, the inquisitor is a good choice as well. Of course, I am tend to play the good guys so the ranger appeals to me much more as a player.

Darn it...I need to post that inventory for Sharoth. Sorry about that! Give me a few days.

Oh, that's right! I remember seeing the row of FR 3.x books at the top. Unless there are plans to have a sale, Sharoth would have better luck picking them off in the used market.

I wish they'd unload the Rackham Confrontation minis at a severe discount. The prices they're going for now makes me go: o.O big time.

At this point there is talk of sales but we need to re-work the store a bit first. There is going to be some redecorating going on. I will keep you updated.
"Redecorating" and "FLGS" doesn't compute. Beep-boop-bop-boop.

It is going to be amazing. We are going to have little display boxes filled with minis from each line painted up with terrain and what not. A new demo table is going in and some shelves are being shifted out.

And we have extensive plans for future demos.

Any suggestions for the Inquisitor build at the beginning levels as well as tactics? I'll be the first one in any of the groups I've been playing to play the class.

I assume you'll have regulars participating in the mini paint-ups to pull this off. I've recently discovered that someone in my B&P Tues night game does paint figures, so I thought about picking up some and let her have a go at it. I personally couldn't pull it off if I tried. Cthulhu colors better than I do.

We have a guy that far outstrips any of us in the painting department. I am pretty proud of my work but this guy blows me out of the water.


Anytime I'm using 3.5 stuff in a Pathfinder game and don't have time to convert, I run the stat blocks as is, with more HP (usually +10% to max) and add CMB/CMD. Everything else I don't worry about.

Inquisitors are awesome fun - with easy access to teamwork feats, focusing on maneuverability worked well for my 12th level inquisitor. Self-buff and debuff spells too.

Any idea what the rest of the group looks like?

The inquisitor seems interesting, but I have not had good experiences with evil PCs in my groups. Personally I think a ranger or ranger/rogue would be awesome for an Andoran freedom fighter. What books are available to you? I also think that ranger would be nice mechanically in RHoD. It's always nice when a lot of your foes are your FE. Of course I have a personal bias for rangers.

I kinda might do this too; IDK.....what do you do with concentration?

There's seven of us and the DM. So far, one person is deciding between a Witch or a Summoner. Another is leaning toward a Druid. One is playing a fighter. No word on the other three.

If I were to play an Inquisitor of Asmodeus, I'd play the LE as more LN with evil tendencies.

The ranger would be the easier way out given the options. I'm open to ranger suggestions too starting out at first level for this. Fire away! =)

No way man! Go evil!!! The two evil games I have been a part of have COMPLETELY changed my perspective on alignment- although I still have an unofficial ban on Chaotic Evil PCs.

The GM doesn't mind evil characters as long as it doesn't turn into a self-serving i'manevillonerwhoaggrandizestheotherpcs type personality. This game is starting up separately to escape from that with different individuals playing. I was the only one invited (so far) from the other group to play this one.

I think I may kill my neighbor. The f~~+ing son of a b$*!+ seems to think that he needs to play his f@&!ing crap ass bass heavy "music" ALL the F@%*ING TIME!

I have gone over and asked him, then flat out told him to keep it down, I mean if I can hear it in my f$*+ing living room OVER the f*&%ing show I'm trying to watch, then it's just a little too f%!@ing loud ain't it? And the stupid f#+@ head plays it all night long too, one night I even went over and kicked his f**%ing door open to tell him to turn the shit down.

I really want to bash his f$*~ing head in and shove his f%%$ing stereo up his f+%#ing ass.

I'd call 5-0, unless you're concerned about a "calling 5-0 back and forth tet a tet."

You're like me; at least you went over there and asked him first.
Now, in the ways of polite society, he should reciprocate, and turn the volume down.

Since he has not done so, I have a sneaky suspicion that: he is now, probably always has been, and might just probably always will be a douche. It is not a rude thing to call 5-0. Or the property manager, or whomever's job it is to ensure domestic tranquility.

We cannot go the other route; we have children to raise, and doing so from an incarcerated condition isn't particularly feasable.

The up side to ran/rog builds in a more outdoor game is that a 2 level dip tends to cover the trap finder slot just fine for the party while giving you access to social skills for RP! TWF and sneak attack obviously synergize nicely. Half elves work well if you want to split levels evenly, and basically any race is OK if you're thinking two level dip. Traits can also help round out social and knowledge skills too. I've played ran/rog straight splits in 3.5 and PFRPG with TWF and I find the skill, special ability, and combat mix to work well. I'm also currently playing a dwarven ran/rog/barb mix in Kingmaker. He's not optimized, but he's fun, and sneak attack and the two handed weapon style works fine too.

If you can use the APG, an Andoran Human with the two handed weapon style supplements a meat shield fighter well. If the party is good on front line fighters then archers are a nice addition with a larger party too.

Does that help any?

Interesting day at work. The work itself was fine, nothing special. However, I had my annual manager review today.

Back story: For the past year my boss has nit picked everything I have done. To a point to where I was ready to be done and find something else.

Today: My review was on 5 different categories, you could get anywhere from a 1-5. 1 being bad, 5 being you walk on water.

Sales- 3.75
Store Presentation- 3.5
Shrink- 3.5
Managing/training personnel- 3.0
Attendance/Job Performance- 3.25
Of course there were notes and comments (that would just take too long to copy) but the short of the long is that as a first year manager of a new unestablished store I did well. I was given a 5% raise and a weeks paid vacation. :D

EDIT: I was also told that I was his most loyal and trustworthy employee and that he adored me and hoped I would be around for a very long time.

A pat on the back is always a nice thing. :)

As opposed to a slap on the ass? "You go, girl!" *smack*

No, but seriously that's awesome. =) In this economy, 5% is a generous raise. 'Gratzie!

Human rangers with archer work well. The extra feat is hard to turn down with archers as they are so feat intensive. Fighter dip is tempting as well for the same reason. The rogue dip can still work for this build especially if you have access to ranger spell from the 3.5 spell compendium. There are at least 2 good swift spells for precision damage and hunter's mercy just rocks if you have time to use it. The rogue dip is always tempting for the RP skills and skill points, but traits can help with RP skills too.

EDIT: I obviously can a bias for a well rounded party, and I like some skill/role redundancy as well. I often fall into roles like the ranger/rogue or healer to fill key slots in the team. I really don't mind playing a support character at all even if that means my character isn't all that flashy or even optimized.

We jokingly call the Spell Compendium The Book of Broken but we do use it and I reckon he'll allow it if I choose to go that route.

Honestly, if Red Hand of Doom is on the table, I would go for the ranger/rogue build. Even if you decide to go with the ranged weapon path the synergy with sneak attack is very nice, especially if you decide to maximize the number of attacks you can take.

Thematically, the ranger is a better fit with RHoD, at least in my mind. There are points where being able to track, set up ambushes, scout, etc. are extremely useful. It really is a "wartime epic" and the kind of character you are contemplating would work well in that environment.

YAY SOLNES!!! :D

I hope Moorluck gave you more than a "Pat on the Back" to celebrate... ;)

The up side to ran/rog builds in a more outdoor game is that a 2 level dip tends to cover the trap finder slot just fine for the party while giving you access to social skills for RP! TWF and sneak attack obviously synergize nicely. Half elves work well if you want to split levels evenly, and basically any race is OK if you're thinking two level dip. Traits can also help round out social and knowledge skills too. I've played ran/rog straight splits in 3.5 and PFRPG with TWF and I find the skill, special ability, and combat mix to work well. I'm also currently playing a dwarven ran/rog/barb mix in Kingmaker. He's not optimized, but he's fun, and sneak attack and the two handed weapon style works fine too.

If you can use the APG, an Andoran Human with the two handed weapon style supplements a meat shield fighter well. If the party is good on front line fighters then archers are a nice addition with a larger party too.

Does that help any?

It wouldn't hurt to get in some ranged fighting as well. I mean, he is a RANGEr. ;p We're definitely using the APG. Thanks for the brainstorm ideas!

Honestly, if Red Hand of Doom is on the table, I would go for the ranger/rogue build. Even if you decide to go with the ranged weapon path the synergy with sneak attack is very nice, especially if you decide to maximize the number of attacks you can take.

Thematically, the ranger is a better fit with RHoD, at least in my mind. There are points where being able to track, set up ambushes, scout, etc. are extremely useful. It really is a "wartime epic" and the kind of character you are contemplating would work well in that environment.

You, LPM, and BT are pushing the case. Alllllright. Time to work on the ranger. =)

Thanks guys! I worried that me posting that would be a bit too much *all about me/pat myself on the back* But as I am not allowed to tell any of my co workers I am unable to tell my best friend. And I really wanted to share. :)

Yay you! :)

Glad to hear that you did well and got that much needed good feedback. :)

+1. So much witty dialogue. :)


Went to bookstore. Purchased many books for Bryce, specifically Books 2-6 of How to Train Your Dragon. He's read Book 1 almost to pieces. Hopefully these will give him something to focus on as a reward for no-hitting days. Yeah, we're not above blatant bribery at this point.
Ran into a friendly woman in the kids section who also has a child on the spectrum and she gave us a possible lead on a good extracurricular activity. Will have to look into that.

The Gilmore Girls from my bit of googling. A 'drama-comedy'. Which should be more palatable than a 'sitcom', one would hope. I can't stand sitcoms.
