Yeah; the way Pathfinder (and 3.5/3.0) model the "It's harder to sneak attack someone with a greatsword" is that rogues do not gain proficiency with greatswords automatically. If they do, via a feat or multiclassing or a race, then they can sneak attack as easily with a greatsword (or whatever...

While our Adventure Path line is doing VERY well, our modules line is not as robust. There's several reasons for this, I suspect... but I think the two big ones are: 1) 32-page adventures lack a spine and thus can't be displayed easilly on shelves, so many bookstores don't stock them. No spine...

This happened in the nation of Numeria. It's been talked about in the Campaign Setting hardcover, and a LITTLE bit in Pathfinder #35, but we haven't really started developing Numeria and its strange alien mountain of metal and robots and mutants yet...

Yes. I am of the opinion that chupacabras are a misnomer, and that they'll drink ANYone's blood... regardless of whether or not they're a goat, and regardless of how much additional burbling and whiffling the chupacabra is doing. Better safe than sorry (and exsanguinated) is my motto.

The First World is where the fey come from, but it's also where a lot of other things come from. Linnorms, for one. Think of the First World as the "rough draft" of reality, where everything is just "more" than it is in the real world. Another way to look at it is a version of the Material Plane...

Not to be a total Paizo shill, but very volume of the Pathfinder Adventure Paths has articles and expansions on Golarion as well, beyond the content of the adventure itself (which takes up only about half of the whole). We've put a LOT of regional gazetteers, monster ecology style articles...

All of our APs assume 4 party members, but they should work relatively well with 5. Once you dip below four PCs, though, things can start getting grisly. And while Pathfinder RPG characters are a bit more powerful than 3.5... I don't think that they're THAT much more powerful. If you're running...

WotC agreed to extend our license to print the magazines pretty much so we could finish out the Savage Tide adventure path, and that's pretty much all there was to that. There was no "don't make more magazines" clause to any contracts. The reason we went ahead with Pathfinder in a book format...

I actaully try to challenge both our authors and us in-house at Paizo to keep things interesting with the Adventure Paths by mixing things up, and by adding some sort of new element to each one. This not only keeps us interested (which is important!), but helps to constantly expand what an...

Just here to confirm, for what that's worth, that drow do indeed get the bonus to enchantment spells and effects.

We used the Complete Arcane version because it was more recent than the Epic book version, and also it was designed to work natively with 3.5 rather than 3.0. Not sure why those other books ignored Complete Arcane, although my gut tells me that the designers didn't realize that the feat had been...

We actually statted her up in Dungeon #149, if you're looking for some over-the-top CR 30 or so mayhem...

One of my regular players has a joke that he likes a bit too much: "How can we see the moon? It's so far away, perception check modifiers would make it invisible!" While that joke might be funny (at least, the first time it gets made), it highlights something that I feel a lot of gamers forget...

Masks of Nyarlathotep frequently gets cited as the "Best Adventrue Ever for Any Game System." It's non-linear linearity (tackle the adventures in any order you want, but once you start, you're kinda in for the whole thing) is really cool, and one of the reasons it is rightfully called the best...

If you're looking for more Mwangi stuff... make sure to check out the upcoming Serpent's Skull Adventure Path. Since it more or less takes place in the Mwangi Expanse... not only the adventures, but the support articles as well. LOTS of new jungle and Africa themed monsters coming in that AP...

First off... thanks for all the feedback here, folks! Kingmaker does a LOT of really weird new stuff, and I knew going in that it wasn't going to be perfect. But I was ceratinly hoping it would be fun! :) As for the population figures... one quick note here: actual numbers for population are...

The term "railroading" is trouble because, I suspect, it's used mostly as a term to deride a style of game play that is actually really pretty popular. While our Adventure Paths DO try to account for a lot of player choice and, I think, are generally pretty good at providing the GM with enough...

Golarion isn't intended to be 100% perfect for every gamer. The design goal/philosophy was to include enough variety, from strange to expected, from human to monster, from high magic to low, from classic to fringe, and so on so that every gamer interested in the genre would be able to find at...

The revised hardcover won't be at Gen Con unless I finish building my time machine. I'm still working on the revisions to the book, after all, and the deadline to get products to the printer so they'll be at Gen Con was 3 weeks or so ago. And there's not going to be any world changing cataclysm...

While I'm certainly interested in seeing where this thread goes... Golarion is ALSO a world we designed for ourselves. We happen to LIKE human-centric worlds, bearded northerners, and lots of nation-states, so elements like those are very unlikely to change. Especially since the campaign...
