Know Questions
Oladon_work› Chat Cleave + Knockback (barbarian rage power)?
Hunter0441 forums How do groups handle rules errors when they are discovered after the fact I.E. the next round or later?
Tyler Gemuenden Facebook If you are using a bow and a buckler, if you attack, do you still get the buckler’s bonus to AC? It says you don’t take the penalty to attack (which is weird) but this part is less clear.
Tyler Gemuenden Facebook I have a player who would like to make a character with the Lycanthrope template. How would this affect his level/Hit Dice? In 3.5 there were rules for adding the animals HD to your own, but I don’t see anything like that on the PFSRD site. I also don’t see anything for calculating hybrid form stats or animal stats. The whole thing has me very confused. Halp… 🙁
zeno (featuring dlandoncole) Boards This is not a question, its a request: Since you talk a lot about the APs and seem to run one or more at a time I would love to hear more about them. Maybe not in super detail, but what you thought about them, what worked out great, what didn’t, and what to look out for etc. (dlandoncole: And Pathfinder Society Scenarios!)
zeno Boards I’m currently preparing to run Burnt Offerings. I have gamed for a long time, but only GM’ed a couple of modules using the Pathfinder system. Two players have only played those modules. And the other two players have played a bit more with other groups. Now the problem and question… I only own the Pathfinder rulebook (and love it!) and I’m that boring guy thats kind of happy with the classic classes and such. I asked the players to consider what characters they wanted to make and read about the different classes and such online at the PRD before we sit down. And of course they found every non-rulebook-class more exciting! How do you guys work with this in your group?
