How are you planning to do the organization of stuff for different editions when the 2nd Edition stuff starts arriving?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
^Most of the old stuff wouldn't be relevant to 2nd Edition, but it seems that a LOT of people will stick with 1st Edition, especially if 3rd party support for it continues (even if nobody outright does for it what Pathfinder 1st Edition did for D&D 3.5), so it's even possible that you might get a few new 1st Edition guides.
Got another one:

I think I've got a good one for you:
https://rpgbot.net/pathfinder/characters/
I've got full class handbooks for 28 base classes (all of the core classes, advanced player's guide classes, magus, gunslinger, unchained classes, occult adventures classes, and vigilante).
I also have a bunch of general character optimization supporting articles:
Practical Guide to Animal Companions
Practical Guide to Channel Energy
Practical Guide to Celestial Armor
Practical Guide to Familiars
Practical Guide to Fighting Defensively
Practical Guide to Firearms
Practical Guide to Martial Flexibility
Practical Guide to Metamagic
Practical Guide to Polymorph
Practical Guide to Skill Unlocks
Practical Guide to Slings
Practical Guide to Summon Monster
Practical Guide to Summon Nature's Ally
Practical Guide to Teamwork Feats
Practical Guide to Vital Strike
^That's a BIG group, so I'm going to just have to mark this for later perusal.
I couldn't find a discussion group for the above, so I sent a PM.
It seems a few of these haven't been updated in years.
Does anyone know of a witch guide that goes into all the potential Patrons and Special Patrons?
Yeah, a lot of the stuff hasn't been updated in years.
I'm kind of hoping that now, with no new updates, there could be a resurgence on guides on the "complete" system, but I'm not expecting it, since now there's also PF2 to write guides for, dividing the attention.
^On the other hand, some of the guide writers (like some of the other players/GMs) won't want to switch to 2nd Edition.
I think I've got a good one for you:
https://rpgbot.net/pathfinder/characters/
{. . .}
Practical Guide to Polymorph
{. . .}
I totally want to steal your system of skill-based requirements for polymorphing, and apply something of the sort to Summon Monster/Nature's Ally (I haven't gotten to those guides yet, other than a very cursory check to see if they already had something like that).
@RPGbot -- I finished going through them. All by PM since no discussion threads were available.
Found another:

I just stumbled upon a thread on these forums that contains a large mini-guide on making a living as a Wizard -- it is split into 2 nearly contiguous sets of posts, so 2 links follow for convenience:
Part 1: Making a Living as a Wizard: Elemental Arcane Schools;
Part 2: Making a Living as a Wizard: Traditional Arcane Schools.

Thanks UnArcaneElection. Added it.
Looking forward to your eagle eyes in helping to fill out the Pathfinder Second Edition Guide to the Guides!
^Might want to leave in the "Making a Living as a Wizard" (or at least use the thread title "What business would a wizard specialist excel at?", although that doesn't sound as catchy), so that people aren't confused as to what these posts are about.
The Guide to Picking Archetypes has a new (last updated today) version at a different link (discussion thread stays the same).

Found another:
A Guide to the Veneficus Witch
Discussion
I think it might be a dead guide, because the poster only has 2 posts, the latest being this guide notice.
Still, the thread might be a good place to suggest changes in case someone wants to take it over.

Also, I was checking out Cartmanbeck's Guide to the Iron Caster.
While you have the guide, I found: Disussion
/cevah
| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |
Awesome, got them both.
You have The Iron Caster listed twice.
Once under the Fighter.Once under the Guide to the Builds. This one has the discussion.
Might want to consolidate.
Somebody also wrote up an amazing guide to Cleric spells, so you guys should check that out.
This is an excerpt of:
In Totality: The Ultimate Guide to Every Cleric, Oracle, and Warpriest Spell in Pathfinder (Reddit Discussion)The author comments on the In Totality guide:
Also included is the sister guide Analysis Paralysis, which only includes the spells ranked green or above. If a long spell list is intimidating to you or one of your players, this should make sifting through your list a much more bearable process.

A guide went missing: Rogue Eidolon’s Guide to Clerics (Abridged)
Here is a Wayback Copy
Also part of Tark's Big Holy Book of Clerical Optimization is missing: The Gods. Technically it is in the trash bin. I sent him a message.
/cevah
^The first time I tried to access the guide linked from your discussion thread, OneDrive wanted me to create an account; the second time I tried to access it, I got a "something went wrong" error message.
I found it linked to a file on dropbox which is fine, but the file wouldn't scroll past the first page. I'll try tomorrow from a proper computer.

Okay, let's see if I got that all correct:
Iron Caster is fine in both guides and builds I think. It's kind of a mix of both.
Got In Totality on there.
Rogue Eidolon's Guide to the Cleric seems like it's back out of the trash.
Hopefully Tark will move The Gods back out of the trash. If not, I'll host it somewhere.
Added the Demi-lancer guide.
The link to the Demi-lancer guide flashes the guide up for an extremely brief period and then gives me the error message ".rtf files are supported but something went wrong."
^That results in the error message ".pdf files are supported but something went wrong."

2: what the build does, and why it chose what it did.
The build is designed to be a magic crafter with a well rounded utility as a mundane crafter/shopkeeper, with a side of gypsy fortune teller.
Feats, traits, familiar, and equipment are designed to pump Craft (Jewelry) and Diplomacy. Secondary focus on Profession (Soothsayer).
Spells are a combination focus of enchantment and travel as a gypsy. Good diplomacy helps here. I also wanted to give her a reasonable choice of spells as an adventurer might use while maintaining the main concept.
3: It is either a good build, or it is an interesting build.
Interesting, I hope.
4: It has items that the player should buy.
Already statted out above. The "/2/2" means crafted with earned magic capital. This upped the effected use of NPC wealth. There might be a tad extra from Cevah's gifting, I don't recall.
5: It shows what the build looks like at a handful of important levels....
Sorry. This designed specifically for a 7th level follower slot.
6: It is be well-written, and well organized.
Use the <reply> button to get the spacing.
7: It is built out to level 20.
Sorry.

Thanks, but don't post this here. You can host it somewhere else (hopefully that you can edit) and then link me to it.
Added the crafter's guide, thank you.

Hey, just a quick head's up that when I clicked on the link for Treantmonk's Monk guide, I got the following pop-up message:
File is in owner's trash
You will soon permanently lose access to this file. For continued access, please make a copy.
I know it's an old guide for an old version of the class for an old version of the game, but I'm just pointing it out in case anybody wants to re-host it somewhere.
Hey, Beckett's Guide to Clerics seems to be a dead link, now. A quick Google search didn't immediately turn up any copies of the guide.
