Discussion of Scotley's Pathfinder game (closed)

[Scotley]

Interesting. I must say that if the intent is not to consider bonus spells under the enhanced Charisma, then this is very poorly written. I'm not quite as confident as Mowgli that LoneWolf/HeroLab can be trusted as a prime source, but since we've got two lawyers and the most experienced Pathfinder devotee of the group all in agreement I guess we have to assume that the ability does not apply to bonus spells. Certainly, when I first read it I thought it did. You'll just have to wait a level until you get a stat bump and boost to 20 which will get you that extra first level spell. The main benefit, an extra 5th level spell doesn't kick in until much later anyway.

Okay

What was it shakespere wrote " First Kill all the laywers"
It is cool i bow to the greater wisdom which is why i put it out there instead of just adding it on somehow....hmmm perhaps i should have lol and then begged forgviness

Hey, maybe we should see if Paizo has a feature like TSR used to do where you can write in to them with rules questions and get a definitive answer to this perplexing question of extra spells?! Only, now, in the Internet Age, the answer will be delivered a lot quicker.

Sadly, the Paizo forums are something of a complicated mess, and getting an official answer to such a question can be damned difficult.

Scotley, if you want to house rule this one I can walk Todd through the steps to add another spell - it's a pretty simple process.

Still, Mowgs, there's no reason to give up without even making an attempt. It's possible, or even probable, that this very issue has arisen before. And, there's no reason why Scotley couldn't favor us with a House Rule while we await a response from On High.

I'm honestly good either way; I don't really have a dog in the hunt.

I wasn't suggesting that Scotley house rule it, just letting him (and Todd) know that if he does want to put in a house rule I can help Todd work it into HL.

But you're right - it doesn't hurt to ask. Just be aware that in the past such attempts have gotten one answer from James Jacobs, and a different one from Sean Reynolds, and that nothing is official until it comes out in the FAQ.

Either Way

Truly,
I am fine either way..it was just one of the OOOOOOHHHHHHH moments when reading my character and fleshing him out.
Just let me know Scotley

I am likewise both dogless and huntless. That's um odd about Jacobs and Reynolds. Looks like Monte Cook and/or Jason Buhlman would rap their eggish heads together and say, 'cut the crap you bozos!' I guess that's the brave new rpg world we must all deal with nowadays -- there is no papa figure like Gygax who can lay down the law. Now it's all CEO-by-committee with everyone pulling the hobby in his/her own obscure way.

I guess we could all just agree that, "what makes my ally more powerful makes me more powerful," and all jointly petition Scotley to let JA do this as he sees fit. I have no problem with that.
