Welcome to /r/Pathfinder, a subreddit for the Society-offshoot of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. Pathfinder Society (or PFS) is a weekly organized campaign, typically played at a local game store or similar venue. You can find more information on PFS at the official about page on Paizo's site.

Full explanation of the history of the "split" can be found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Pathfinder_RPG/comments/1970yw/z/c8lj1xd

To head off the usual questions:
* No, you can't just merge subreddits.
* No, I'm not closing /r/Pathfinder_RPG and redirecting everyone over here.
* No, I'm not closing this subreddit and opening another one.
* Yes, I do suck. And I am dumb.

This is to allow artists to still advertise while not flooding the sub with advertisement.

For background on this see: https://www.reddit.com/r/Pathfinder/comments/114vbhj/can_we_ban_art_commission_posts/

So, the site made a huge update on the amount of information we can put in there, as well as including the last seasons of society play as well.

One of those features is being able to tag and adventure with "Play wishlist". However, I can't seem to find any feature that allows me to filter or search said wishlist.

Does anyone know how to do so?

Newly back to the area and wish to play 1e Pathfinders or 3.5 D&D. Started in 1983 with Believe it or not, Chainmail 3 book set.😄 Moved on to AD&D 1st and 2nd eds, 3rd, 3.5, then 5th. Yes, my math is correct.😉

Heard of Pathfinders , late coming to it, but loved the newness of it. Really liked the character changes and modifications to the ruleset.

Tried 2nd, wasn't impressed.

So, that's the rundown of where I'm at with those two..three?

Please let me know if there are any group willing to assimilate a "newb".

I live in Hillsboro, but I am a busrider, however that affects things, just thought it was a marginally important factoid.

Thanks for your consideration of this RPG'er!

I'm getting an opportunity to do some SFS2e and PFS2e in a few months after a long hiatus and had some limbo GM baby PCs to go build. I made of list of fun builds to go try and a few of them were shelved due to uncommon option availability. I was wondering if any of the following boons are available in the system:

PF2e:

• Jalmeri Heavenseeker (post fix) (most requested in the boon request forum but I haven't been paying attention closely if they made it available in the last few years)
• Amphisbaena Handwraps (didn't see it in the howl of the wild avid collector list)
• Any SF2e classes (specifically mystic and maybe witchwarper)

SF2e:

• Aiuvarin/half elf (I see legacy elf -> but does that give you half elf?
• Any PF2e content beyond ~5 legacy races?

Since house Thrune has a deal with Hell (giving them devils as soldiers and advisers), how would a devil reacts if summoned by one of them? Would it be willing to help them, as long as it doesn’t contradict its evil nature and the interests of hell? If any, would the demands be different from any other how cast the spell?

How different types of devils would react: erynes, ice devils, immolation, and pit fiends?

I want to know what you guys think of bringing Inner Sea pastimes into everyday life. I like gambling games like Twentybone (P1 GMG) and Bounder but I would also like to try some of the other aspects of everyday life. The Lost Omens Travel Guide has some tasty recipes and a noble feast, but has anyone looked into other hobbies like Tolpug Whittling or Stile Art? Also, has anyone tried to come up with a ruleset to Imperial Conquest? Looking forward to hearing what y'all come up with.

Hello! I'm a longtime PF2e GM and online PFS player preparing for my first time running it in person for randoms at a convention. I've never GMed PFS before nor played PFS in person, so I've got a bunch of questions about mechanically how it works.

1. The convention itself is fairly small and does not typically host PF2e games. Do they or I need to do anything in terms of like... registering the site/event as a sanctioned PFS game or something? Is there anything specific I should do in advance of the game to prep?
2. What do I need to bring, beyond basic gameplay materials? Do I need a sheet for people to write down their society numbers? Are there official documents I can just print off and use (I did find the organized play sign up cards, which seem handy)?
3. How does PFS handle players that are just there to play and don't care about the society elements? Do they need to sign up or anything?
4. Can players join the game without their own character, and instead just use an appropriately leveled pregen/iconic? Do they still get rewards? If so, can they assign those rewards later to another character?
5. Can people play with non-PFS-legal characters? What happens to their rewards?
6. Any recommendations on scenarios to run? Likely aiming for level 1 for a group that will probably be a mix of experience levels.
7. Final question... If no-one at the table cares much about the society aspect of the game, can I still get credit for GMing if I go a little off-script and don't adhere hard to things like treasure bundles, modify encounters, etc.? I don't want folks to get turned off if they're not into the somewhat structured and prescriptive approach of PFS. tbh, I'm not even sure I care about the credit, I think I'd be more running it in case there is someone excited to get some in-person XP on their PFS character.

So me and my group have been playing D&D 5e for ages and with the new 5.5 we were disappointed how it felt exactly the same and its lack of of complexity and options. Recently I've been playing Owlcats Wrath of the Righteous and been loving it so I looked into pathfinder but I'm pretty confused where to start. Would it be better to go with the established 1e or the new and updated 2e? Also seems like 2e had a small soft reboot where they took out alignment which was something i liked so that was disappointing.

TLDR: which edition would you recommend to some dnd 5e players who want more options and complexity and where should I start?

At 10th lvl a Barbarian can get feat Come and Get Me (1 point).

So there are some questions:

1. Is a character in Rage that has this feat and spent 1 action point for Come and Get Me affected by this trait until end of this Rage?

Concern caused by feat cost of 1 point: it's not a permanent Rage benefit like the Animal Skin feat as well as not a Free action - I can't understand for what Character must spend 3 seconds (!) once(!) per rage. It's no attack and no reusable feat during same Rage... To my mind it should be a free action instead.

1. Am I right that character using Come and Get Me would get temporary HP for attacking each opponent that attacked him?

I stopped playing Pathfinder Society in mid August of 2024. Looking online, I found there was apparently a time gated free rebuild for premaster characters, which I missed the window for due to not playing in quite a long time. I was playing a Catfolk Barbarian (with the bought boon for 80pts, created shortly before August 2024.)

Is there any way to rebuild to be the remastered Barbarian? And if so, why did they time gate the free rebuild? And would I be able to refund the boon since Catfolk are free Ancestries now, or am I permanently out of those points because of building my Barbarian prior to PC2?

From what I can find online it seems that I can't rebuild my Barbarian to the remaster build as it's past the free time and he's already level 3, not would I be able to refund that boon. Is that accurate?

Thank you for your time, what I can find online has been... Quite difficult to parse in places.
