It never occurred to me before, but with a cap of +4, your racial bonuses still matter, surprisingly enough. You still want a racial bonus in your best stat - instead of using it to push your best score to a +5, you use it to push a +3 to a +4, which saves you a ton of point buy points. As a...

"AHHHH ha ha ha!" guffaws Bipper. "That's what we get for not doing our legwork!" He takes a seat. "We're here on behalf of Anna Pelacqua, who was recently kidnapped by people who seem to be from Irthos... and who possessed this coded missive. She says you're the type who enjoys decoding and...

Hello! I attempted to poke at the Living Eberron campaign, but there are few signs of life, so now I'm checking here! I've played enough level 1 characters that I could barf, but it seems to be the popular way of doing things, so I guess I can stomach it again, especially if I play someone who...

That's good enough, thanks. I owe paizo.com some appreciation/love already. And one of those other sites annoys me poopless. :p

Has the option been moved somewhere else? Clicking that link doesn't do anything for me. Like the OP, I have never had a "post quote" that wasn't already a "subscribed thread". I don't need post quote notifications, especially not if viewing the thread in question fails to clear them. I also...

Is that the only way to buy Adventure Paths a la carte?

I like setting achievements in front of players at the start of the game to give them hints as to things they can get up to. For example, there's an achievement to tug on General Kilwynn's beard. That tells the players that someone named General Kilwynn exists, he has a beard, and tugging on it...

Now that it's been out for a few weeks, does anyone who's played it have additional opinions or reactions for us?

Why do folks quote and mention when they report someone?

I've been looking at corkboard.me and trello.com but they're not so good for creating "trees" of branching or flowcharted information. So I'm wondering where everyone stores their ideas, or wishes they had stored their ideas if they had known better. I guess Corkboard is the better of the...

Nowai! How'd the players like it? Did they catch on? I'm assuming you added more monsters and traps to it to hold their attention?

OOC: Yeah, we shoulda gotten more info out of Anna, or invited her along. No idea what I should avoid saying, or what I could reveal for advantage. The only thing we know is "talk to Damien", right? Bipper seats himself and smiles toothily, with an air that assumes "we're done here", at the...

Ok actually... The Day of the Tempest was really boring. It made me yearn for a Planescape, Dark Sun, or Eberron book instead. Evil dragons! Snore! Worthy as an opponent, not worthy as the focus of a whole dang book. I'll place a hold on book 1 of Chronicles - it's checked out right now, but...

The "house" (really more of a "deranged extraplanar basement") in House of Leaves is a creative, awesome dungeon. It has very few occupants or traps, but really mind-bending architecture.

Unrelatedly, I am weirded out to discover my library carries manga / comic book type things, gaming ones no less. Fortunately, there were a few real books, too. Starting on The Day of the Tempest in 3, 2, 1...

Alright, per the recommendations I checked that out from the library today and will devour it tonight or tomorrow. I limit my access to fiction because it becomes the only thing I'm interested in doing until the book is finished, but I have time to spare this month. Don't hate me because I...

Cool! You located some apropos stuff for Tas that I'd missed. Let's combine indeed! Ability Scores I like mine a little better, but it's not a big deal either way. The sticking point for me is the Charisma - it's so bog-standard for a halfling to have the "gift of gab" and be able to...

Great counterpoints, thought-out opinions, and discussion in general; thanks guys! :)

I hear you need a kender named Tas. I don't know anything about Dragonlance, but I've skimmed the old threads for this campaign. As far as I understand it: My job, as Tas, is to find the thing in the room that absolutely should not be messed with, and mess with it when no one's looking...
