The real problem lies in actually finding a group to play with.

If anyone is looking for players for a group I'm looking for session based Pathfinder groups. Finally had enough with my current 3.5e group and quit.
Would anyone be interested in an improvised game of pathfinder? I was thinking about DMing something like that. What I would do is create a starting location, and try and come up with everything as the players explored and what not. It would either be really fun or really awkward.
My DM's sessions are unforgettable. Just in the last couple weeks we burned down and illusionists house after he called the 'police' (His illusionist friends) and I managed to create a doomsday device by accident.

My blood lust is sated slightly. Rolled three natural 20's in a row as a CR 2 clockwork horror against a player- Instantly decapitated him. His friend rolled two natural 1's in a row shortly afterwards on a saving throw to not die horrifically. The blood god is pleased.

Judging by his steam profile he's american, just hoping the time for the game isn't too late/early for us europeons.

Everyone who is interested in the game should add me on steam and we'll talk about time and such
[QUOTE=NotAName;39921806]I just got an extra modifier point on my intelligence, so I have 10 extra skillpoints. (Fighter 6 / Cleric 2 dwarf). Now, the one important question is, should I spend my skillpoints on: 1. Jump, Balance, Climb, Swim, etc that I have problems doing in heavy armor 2. 10 points in Perform (Comedy)[/QUOTE] Perform (Rap Battle)
I've been playing CoC with a couple of people from FP and I've learned a thing or two over our sessions. - Just because the Indian PC is called 'Achu' doesn't mean we have to say bless you each time he is referred to by name - The GM has watched Tremors, Back to the Future III, Rango, and far too many other western-related films for his own safety - Telling the party that the gold ore I just found is only coal is considered selfish. Claiming that it is 'bitumilignous' when asked which type of coal it is is just wrong - Waterfalls are a pain in the ass - If the scholar's curiosity triggers another trap again, we draw straws to see who gets to shoot her first - Placing sticks of TNT inside a 50lb bag of hemp and convincing the mercs holding us hostage to use it to "Smoke the monster out" is surprisingly effective at leveling the playing field - Despite fighting giant beetle-like eldritch abominations and armed mercs, the most damage inflicted in a single hit so far was by an ornery horse - Our grand plan for confronting the big bad was to knock on his front door and ask his butler if we could come in

Anyone know of any upcoming games of Kingmaker? Been trying to get into a few PbP games of it, but that campaign fills up [I]fast.[/I]
Ran a CoC campaign for the first time with a couple of bros. Played "The Haunting". They both have no idea how to play and immediatley want to go to the house, but I manage to nudge them in the general direction of the library, to look for clues and stuff. So they both come in (BTW they named their characters Dr. Tuttariusfidelnür and Mr. Fartenstein... and they have just been thrown out of a bar for trying to start a fight for no good reason) and ask a nice young librarian if she can help them. She looks around a bit for the books they have asked for and , unfortunatley, can't find them. Now, I just need to say that I did tell them that CoC is more "realistic" in the way society works and how people treat you. Well, they must have forgotten, because the good doctor decided to punch the poor girl in the face for being a, quote: "a no good faminazi who should have stayed in the kitchen!". He essentially knocks the girl out cold and her front teeth out. At this point every other person who is capable is trying to catch them, and the police is on the way... They end up getting send to prison for assault with their faces punched in by the good citizens of Boston. They may have derailed the game, but atleast it was amusing. Haven't played CoC since.
Managed to make a Pathfinder character that has 20 AC at level 1, 24 AC if I provoke attacks of opportunity through movement. Also, 14 health. Only stat below 10 is wisdom, at 8. I'm feeling good about my survivability.

AC doesn't matter against bosses as they have between 20 and 25 attack bonus.
[QUOTE=Zeroarmorclo;39958948]Just wait until you get to about level 5. AC doesn't matter against bosses as they have between 20 and 25 attack bonus.[/QUOTE] And also most spells aren't affected by AC at all, and the ones that are still ignore some/most of it.
High HP is, unsurprisingly, the easiest way to stay alive.

[QUOTE=Rents;39959152]High HP is, unsurprisingly, the easiest way to stay alive.[/QUOTE] Until high levels where save-or-die spells get thrown around like candy.
Oh well, it was fun to theorycraft.
