  • Rules Questions: Animal Companions from different sources
    Do you 1. Get two? 2. Stack the levels? 3. Take the highest level? My example: Druid and Barbarian Mounted Fury Levels respectively: 4 & 8 (I'm taking boon companion for +4 up to hit die) What is my effective animal companion?

  • Rules Questions: Ready Action vs Getting Attacked.
    Readying an Action: from the PRD [Spoiler omitted] This came up in another thread and didn't wanna risk derailing it. Can you ready an action to move if someone comes up and attacks you? If you can- what are the ramifications for the attacker? The rule says: "Assuming he is still capable of doing so, he continues his actions once you complete your readied action." So Archer Andy readies a move action vs Bob the Barbarian taking a swing at him. Bob does a single move up to Andy and takes a...

  • Advice: PF Community Challenge Characters
    So, I thought I'd post the annoying character I made for the contest. Hopefully whoever fills the last slot doesn't just counter me on purpose (; Karn the Traveler If he beats anyone, I'm sure they will find him highly annoying.

  • Off-Topic Discussions: Outta curiosity.
    What would happen if we grabbed 500 people from all across the country from all walks of life. Completely random people gotten just by generating random social security numbers, and put them in the white house with all presidential candidates and made them live there together for 9 months preceding the election? They could have no access to the outside world beyond different newspapers delivered daily and television. No actual two way communication. Then at the end of the 9 months those people...

  • Pathfinder RPG/General Discussion: Random Mundane Item Generator
    So, as the title suggests, I am looking for a generator that randomly produces mundane items. I like to keep my games low and make items and silver pieces more of a big deal. Regardless, I've been looking for a generator that can randomly produce a mundane item for when the players are looking through chests, searching rooms, or even looting a person. I don't like to always just dish out money and magic items. If anyone knows of one that would be awesome. If not, is there anyone who a enough...

  • Rules Questions: Looking for a page number (On mounts needing to be larger than their riders)
    While I'm certain this is in the rules somewhere, I can't seem to find it. I've just read through the Core rulebook's mounted combat and ride skill sections and see no mention of a mount needing to be larger than its rider. So where is it written? Not going to be able to stand not knowing where it is. Can somebody provide me with a page number please?

  • Rules Questions: What/Where are formula books?
    Ok, simple question. Where are these listed? Are they just spellbooks, with the same weight and cost and page count? Does it come with the Alchemist's Kit (it is quite heavy and expensive compared to a material component pouch...) ?

  • Comics: Comic Con
    I have a chance to go to the San Diego Comic Convention this year! :)

  • Suggestions/House Rules/Homebrew: The Half-Human Template
    The Half-Human Template is an acquired or inherited template that can be applied to any aberration, animal, magical beast, dragon, or vermin. Once applied, the base creature's type can be chosen as its starting type or monstrous humanoid. Once this choice is made it cannot be changed. The Half-Human Template is intended not only for creatures with human blood, but also evolved versions of the base creature as well as the results of magical experiments. The creature's CR is raised by +1. They...

  • Pathfinder Society®/General Discussion: PVP, How do you play it?
    So let me preface this by saying that tonight, when my character was under the effects of Dominate person, my GM allowed me to play my Character. The instructions I had were "Kill the Pathfinders" So I go to work right? This character is a combat monkey, and I designed him to feel like Wolverine, I really think I did a pretty good job on the design too. In 2 rounds I dropped 2 players to less than 5 hp each. There is one player causing me some problems but he gets hit with a hold person. I have...

  • Pathfinder RPG/General Discussion: Golarian Book in the Everchanging Book of Names
    I've been using this product (http://ebon.pyorre.net/) for many years to generate random names, especially during the MANY campaigns within Greyhawk. I've since moved on to Golarian and as a GM I have found myself at odds with the creative names that the adventure paths typically contain... it is a bit more difficult to come up with a name which fits seamlessly within the story. I'm one of those who always had difficulty when it came to naming NPCs or PCs anyway, so this just went from bad to...

  • Pathfinder Society GM Discussion: Reporting Unfinished Scenarios
    How do you report a scenario that was not finished? For example, a group that completely wiped in the first encounter. Two of the characters are dead and not able to raise, one died but was able to raise. Will each of these players be able to play this scenario again because they didn't complete even a single encounter?If so, and I report the game online, won't the system be upset when someone tries to give them credit for the scenario again later?Do I get full GM credit?Because one of the...

  • Rules Questions: On halfling slingers, druids, kangaroos, and tower shields
    so I came up with a very fun idea. A halfling druid, who specializes in riding around in a kangaroo pouch and using a sling to attack (awesome I know right?) Well I thought to myself, how can I help this guys really get the hurt on and still be marginally safe? Then I came to the conclusion! TOWER SHIELD FOR THE KANGAROO! Yeah it would receive major negatives to attacks but the bonuses to defense would be huge. Now I'm stuck with a conundrum. I'm in its pouch. I'm small size and I have a...

  • Suggestions/House Rules/Homebrew: Revised Half-Dragon Template
    I'm fairly certain that this belongs here. I'd like to get everyone's opinion on my revised half-dragon template. It covers the ten types of true dragons that I'm aware of in Paizo's published works. Also, thanks to a friend, I was able to include a minor adjustment so it will work with Children of Wyrms. Half-Dragon Template: Revised & Expanded

  • Advice: Modules/Adventure Paths for a New(ish) DM
    Hey everyone. My brother has shown some interest in DMing a campaign and I'd like to get him started on the right foot. He has some pretty solid knowledge of the game and mechanics by this point (due to this I was leaning away from the Beginner Box as he and all the potential players are quite experienced) and while he was considering doing his own from scratch campaign, I encouraged him to try starting with something already established and customize from there. Anyway, I could really use...

  • Customer Service: Problem with Order # 2063771
    Hi! The most recent subscription shipment (Order # 2063771) should have included a copy of Giants Revisited. However, there was a copy of the module No Response from Deepmar instead. I'm sure it's a nifty module, but it's not what I ordered. Can we work an exchange or something?

  • Advice: Illusionist Advice
    Got an elven illusionist for a Kingmaker game, banned schools are necromancy and divination. I've never played an illusionist before, what kind of advice do you have? Here's how Phethian the Illusionist stands now.: -We rolled for stats and I started with a 19 Int, got a good Dex and Con, and a 13 Cha, so I think I'm alright there. The Cha should help with Bluff and Disguise checks (which I think work well with the illusionist). -Took a wand as my bonded object. I know its not...

  • Customer Service: Canceling PaizoCon Tickets
    Hoqdy, my leave for the days of PaizoCon was denied, so I need to cancel my ticket order. Though I wish I could make it, it's not only financially out of my reach at the time, but also unable for the reason previously stated. Thanks guys for all your ell. I'll continue to help Paizo from the Macdill AFB home front here.

  • Advice: Pathfinder RPG Online
    Is there any place I can play with other people on the web? And I don't mean the upcoming videogame!
