Daily Punch 4-4-26 Shield Bash Assult feat for Pathfinder

You can tell I’ve been stuck on shields for the last bit.  Not sure why, but I have been.  Let’s keep going with a Pathfinder feat for Shields.

 

Shield Bash Assault (Combat)

You shield is a deadly weapon in your hands.

Prerequisite: Shield Proficiency

Benefit: When you perform a shield bash, increase the damage dealt by the shield by one die.  As an example a d6 damage would becomes a d8 damage.  If something modifies the shields damage like enchantment bonuses or changing damage type, this feat still applies.

Daily Punch 1-21-16 Magic Dabbler feat for Pathfinder

I haven’t done Pathfinder feats in a while, so let’s do a string of them.  How about some feats to get you spellcasting (slightly) when you don’t normally do that?

 

Magic Dabbler

Your training might not be much now, but it’s a start!.

Prerequisite(s): Must not be part of a spellcasting class

Benefit: Choose a spellcasting class that you qualify for.  You learn two zero-level spells of the class and can use them a number of time per day equal to the ability modifier used for spell casting in that class.  You cast these spells as if you were a member of that class and must follow the spellcasting requirements of these spells and class.  Your character level is your level in a spellcasting class for all level dependent parts of any spells.

Special: You may not use these spells to qualify for a spellcasting class or prestige path.  If you gain levels in a spellcasting class, archetype or prestige path, you lose this feat and must retrain as per normal rules.

TL; DR– Too many ingredients spoil the soup! 78%

PZOPSS0622E_180

Basics-The society never leaves a man behind-they just might take five years to help him…and it might be someone’s pet project as well…. In this adventure, the Pathfinder Society sends in new recruits to find a long forgotten Pathfinder in a blockagged town in Cheliax.  There, the young Pathfinder have to navigate several different rival groups, find their target, and get him out…all while not starting the third burning of the city!  This adventure is designed for level first to fifth level characters.

Mechanics or Crunch-What’s here is good, but there is just too much here!  This adventure has some serious roleplaying opportunities (which is great) and some serious combats (there are over four!).  That is too much for a four-hour time slot!  Each part isn’t bad as the roleplaying characters get some time to shine and the combat monkeys can take center stage at different points, but in a four hour adventure slot at a con, this adventure simply is too long.  GMs will have to drop part to keep this one going fast enough to cover all the ground. 3.5/5

 

Theme or Fluff-So, not only is there a lot of mechanics, there is also a lot of story to cover as well.  It’s not bad, but it’s too much!  First is a missing Pathfinder.  Then,there are four factions to contend with.  Next is trying to get out and get help.  And lastly is dealing with other enemy groups in the city.  That is too much talking!  I love good roleplaying in a Pathfinder Society adventure, but with so much going on here, it’s hard to make all the pieces shine.  If you don’t ham up each group, then players don’t notice them.  If you do, then it takes too much precious time that you won’t have for the fights and talking to the different groups later.  It’s too difficult a balance to walk-especially for a 1-5 level, four-hour scenario. 4/5

Execution-Overall, this adventure has the Paizo polish.  Lot’s of pictures to help describe things, lot’s of included information to make running this easy, and a decent amount of breaks to make the text flow better.  However, the organization isn’t perfect.  This adventure is about 40 pages!  Some pages are copies of Bestiary books to help run the adventure, but I would like a few more breaks and a table or two detailing how different groups interact with the players at different locations.  Those little things would help speed up the pace of this adventure and possibly get it out close to the four-hour runtime. 4.25/5

Summary-If I had eight hours with a single table, this would be a great adventure to put them through.  They could really dig deep into the roleplaying, and the combat-crunch players would have an absolute blast as well by being able to paint the town red with their enemies.  But, this is written with the goal of four hours.  For that time limit, there is just too much here!  It’s written well enough, but will all the twists, turns, and fights, you CAN’T get this adventure done and be on time.  And any adventure I can’t run in a time slot at a con, written for a con, isn’t one I run a second time. 78%

Daily Punch 10-28-15 Critically Fast feat for Pathfinder

I have a bunch of friends who hate when they roll a 20 for initiative.  I’d like to find a way to reward them for doing well.  Let’s see what we can do.

Critically Fast 

You move so fast that it’s a blur to the eye and the senses.

Benefit: When you roll initiative and roll a result that is within the critical range of a weapon you are currently wielding (use a natural 20 if you are not wielding a weapon), and you are the first to act in the round, you gain an extra standard action for only that first round of combat.
