Paizo what the hell are you doing, your website is held together by spit and duct tape already.  

EDIT: Does anyone know how to get to their messageboards? I can see my campaigns no problem, but nothing else shows up-even trying to go to the campaign recruitment page just shoves me to their new homepage.  They really screwed the pooch on this one...

How many rounds of recent bans does this make things?

 

The norm for Magic seems to be a couple rounds of bans every five years or so (with the second round being to pick up the cards that they should have banned the first time around).

I think in the past year there've been 3 bans, for a total of nine cards.  It's been pretty crazy.

Jeeeeeesus, WoTC went crazy with the Standard bans.  Attune with Aether, Rogue Refiner, Ramunap Ruins and Rampaging Ferocidon all banned today.  This was a particularly aggressive ban, in my opinion.  Especially Ferocidon, nobody saw that coming at all.

Guys, it already exists:

I can see this getting a reprint.  I would've pegged a card like this at 5ish CMC anyways.

EDIT: Actually no, I don't see Implode getting reprinted anymore.  The most recent Stone Rain-like card is Volcanic Upheaval from BFZ, and it was 3R.  I don't see them adding another 1 to the CMC to make it cantrip, especially not with their recent design philosophy of "if it ain't a creature, it ain't worth making good"

Go home wizards you're drunk

Btw this doesn't hit tron lands

Oh cool it's Sphinx's Rev on a stick. A really, really big stick with a backbreaking other ability. Hot damn.

Oh hey Raz you like merfolk, right?  Could see play once Polukranos rotates.

No Hexproof, utterly trash.

Happy new year, everyone!

Yeah, I think I've got pretty much everything.  Still have a crapload of gold left over so I made some of my weapons adamantine.  Tibbets has the shiniest horsechopper in all the land.  And since Enola is a racer, I don't need to splurge on armor for her.  

I just noticed that, actually! They even have the stuff from Poisons and Potions up, which came out officially last week, I think.  

Some of my other recent favorite archetypes and other goodies that have come out recently:

Toxin Codexer (Investigator)

Sylvan Trickster (Rogue)

Gun Smuggler (Rogue)

Gift of Consumption and Greater Gift of Consumption hexes

Say what you will about the Shifter (I sure as hell have) but Paizo has really done a good job lately of giving other classes really strong and flavorful archetypes.  Also, they added new default mounts for Cavaliers and other people who get the Mount class ability-Medium people can now get a Zebra, and Small people can now ride into battle on their very own Capybara.  These are all good changes.

It works, but it's only the second page.

Oh, weird.  I think this one is the first page of it?

Bah, and that's why you don't drink and subSPUF, folks.  Still a great game.

If you or someone you know somehow doesn't have Portal, you can get both games for less than 3 bucks.  Other personal favorites of mine are This is the End (the new Team Meat game, it's a very hard platformer with RedLetterMedia's Rich Evans as the main character) and Hollow Knight.

Ok, so this is still a work in progress, but I thought I'd share what I have so far for Tibbets and his best girl Enola.  The current goal is to fly around the battlefield, while launching hellfire down from above.  In the likely event I run out of bombs, I've still got the chassis to make a fantastic mounted archer, with the added bonus of being able to attach fun things like tangleburn bags to the arrows.  Both myself and Enola have feats that minimize penalties for mounted archery, and I can throw bombs 150 feet and still only be off by a square, or 250 feet if I use a rocket bomb.  Still currently working on skills, equipment and extracts, but feel free to comment on anything I've already got.  If it's marked with a question mark, I'm still trying to figure out just what to put there.

Sure, see if this link works.  I tried posting them here as just attachments, but for some reason it's kicking up an error message every time I try.

On a related note, I'm dropping the Slayer part and building an Alchemist (Grenadier/Winged Marauder)/Fighter (Roughrider) instead. Gives me all the bonus feats I wanted with Slayer, and my mount gets some sick bonuses now too.  If a mount no longer takes penalties for carrying a medium load or wearing medium barding, can it now fly when wearing/carrying medium stuff?

Hmm. Seriously considering taking craft poppet then, unless that would go against the "no magical items" rule. Which now that I think about it, probably does. Darn.

Edit: On third thought, probably not gonna take craft poppet anyways, seems like past level 4 or 5 they just become cheap ways to get more carry capacity. Which might be something we should look into buying, Cube.

I can never remember and I'm at work so I can't check-do alchemists count as having caster levels for the purpose of feats?

I'll have mine up soon, I've gotta get the printed version up on myth weavers.  

I was going to suggest muleback cords, but no magic items. Maybe a team of oxen? 

Sorry to hear about that.  I know I didn't play very long, but Steef was one of my all-time favorite characters, and I still remember that game fondly.  

Yeah, it is.  The Cad does get bonuses to Disarm though, so you can still go the steal/disarm/beat to death with whatever is within arm's reach route if you want.

Kind of unrelated but since there are some people with Path experience far surpassing mine, is there any way to play a character who steals weapons of enemies and fights with them?

 

I guess it'd be someone who's proficient in everything and can switch between different weapons with ease. Just a pet character idea I've had lying around and not sure if it's possible to make in this system.

The Filcher Rogue archetype (Halfling only) seems like it's right up your alley-it gives you free Steal feats, and it lets you use Sleight of Hand instead of your CMB for steal maneuvers.  This scales a lot better than CMB on a small rogue, so it's pretty good.  Other decent options are the Cad Fighter archetype, the Mouser swashbuckler (which could be a great 1-level dip for a Filcher, too), the Sharper rogue, and in a very far fifth place, but my personal favorite, the Makeshift Scrapper rogue archetype.  It's not a steal build, but it lets you pick up anything, and then use it as a magic weapon.  Nobody expects you to beat someone to death with a mithral waffle iron.

Just got back from seeing The Last Jedi.  I liked it.  It definitely has flaws, and I can see it being a super controversial movie-maybe the most divisive one.  But there were some truly awe-inspiring moments in it.  Some absolutely fantastic shots, like the 

that are definitely going to be remembered.  Is it as good as Empire? Fuck no.  Still not the low point of the series though.  In my opinion.  There are definitely people who think it is.

If you want to make a poisoner I'm willing to work with you to houserule them to be less painfully bad. Primarily making the crafting times shorter (as an Alchemist you can already make them fairly cheap and boost the DC/uses) as well as their durations.

I appreciate it, but I'm gonna stick with the build I'm working on currently-doing bombing runs seems a lot more Monster Hunter-esque than slowly poisoning someone.  Now, if you ever run an intrigue campaign...then you've got my attention.
