    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder RPG GM Screen

    Getting the iconics scaled exactly right was a bit of trouble, and with the exception of Harsk I think we got it pretty close. Actually, if you assume that Ezren is close to 6 feet tall and Harsk is close to 4 feet tall, that's actually not that far off. (Keep in mind that Lini's hair is kinda...

    Is Giant still a type or a subtype now?

    That is, of course, an error. The Gnome entry should list it as the giant subtype. Since there is no Giant "type" in Pathfinder... it's just another kind of humanoid.

    Pathfinder 1E I hate Paizo!

    Well... the thread title certainly caught MY attention... :p

    Flying and 45 degrees?

    The game doesn't deal well with momentum and inertia. The easiest way to handle this is to say that the 45º turns count only when made during movement. Only if you as the GM want to track each flying creature's momentum and direction should you really worry about the ramifications of inter-turn...

    It did indeed! There are book mountains in our warehouse this very moment.

    Burnt Offerings: The Play

    Looks like a bunch of us are making the journey from Paizo down to Portland on the 21st. A trip to Powell's is all but guaranteed.

    2 New Classes Announced

    Not sure if any of us have officially said here on ENworld... but the playtests for the first two of the six new base classes begins this Friday. This playtest will feature the oracle and the cavalier and will, I believe, last for a few weeks before we move on to do the next two and then a few...

    Burnt Offerings: The Play

    I'm still a bit speechless and honored that this is actually happening, actually. And I'm really really really looking forward to seeing the play!

    Help me understand Greater Feint

    Greater feint is a better feat for a rogue's friend than a lone rogue. It's also a pretty good feat to give a bunch of rogues, since one rouge can use it and then his 5 allies can then descend and wreak havoc. If you're a rogue on your own and don't really have a bunch of rogue buddies to help...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Bestiary - Discussion

    Well... for one thing, a pit fiend IS supposed to be more persuasive than a solar, at least in my book. A solar is a bad-ass angel, sure, but the pit fiend is a bad-ass devil, and devils have always been about the honeyed-words and treacherous promises, after all. Also, the solar has two more...

    They do not. Unless your GM wants them to!

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Bestiary - Discussion

    We DID try to squeeze in as much flavor as we could, but two things limited us... 1) We wanted to have a one-monster-per-page (or close to it) format, so that navigating the book would be MUCH easier. 2) We wanted to keep the book world-neutral. There's no mention of Golarion at all in the...

    My take (since I'm the one who wrote up the goblin flavor): Goblins are actually pretty canny. Their "eccentricities" rise out of a lack of common sense (low wisdom) and low self-esteem and filthy nature and leadership quality (even lower charisma).

    Animal companions and weapon finesse

    There were some weird bugs and errors that crept into the PDF, alas. The missing Weapon Finesse you mention from the animal companion feats list is one of them. The feat's not missing from the print version of the book, so it's not really errata. I'll let folks know on our PDF/web team to go in...

    I don't like "back antlers"

    Yeah; the dire wolverine's spikes are pretty okay looking. And the fact that there's not really a good candidate for a primeval wolverine to stand in combined with the fact that the art for this one came in literally at the last minute and we wouldn't have had time to fix it without delaying the...

    Question about advancing sorcerer bloodlines

    Domain spell access DOES advance as your spellcasting does, since domain spells are part of your spell list and one of the things that advancing your spellcasting does is give access to higher level spells on your spell list. Advancing spellcasting via a prestige class would NOT advance your...

    Question about advancing sorcerer bloodlines

    Unless a prestige class specifically says it advances something like a bloodline, it does not. Spell advancement is by far the most common form of advancement a prestige class gives, but that's all it is—spell advancement. Think of the other abilities a prestige class grants as replacements for...

    I don't like "back antlers"

    Same here. Which is the exact reason we put animals and giant vermin in with the rest of the monsters sorted alphabetically and with artwork.

    Nah. Gave that up when i realized it's more fun to just blaze through random posts and answer something else entirely. That said... it IS amusing that most of us assumed that Combat Reflexes had a prereq. Weird. And my "funny story" about adjusting monster stats at the last minute stands, and...
