Pathfinder Cheat Sheets: Combat
Jan 30th, 2010 by ambrose

So, yeah. It’s been a while. Anyway, I thought that this would be an excellent thing to post now that I have a day job, and since Office Applications are once again my lifeblood(Lit Classes), I made this sheet today to aid people who want a quick-reference sheet. If you are one of the few who hasn’t tried Pathfinder yet, I highly recommend it.

This is accurate, but keep in mind this is enough for Me to know what I Meant, and if you want me to improve upon it please e-mail me at ambrose(-dot-)nktg(-at-)gmail(-dot-)com

Features

  • Lists all size-related modifiers(From Pathfinder Core Rulebook)
  • Lists all attack roll modifiers(From Pathfinder Core Rulebook)
  • Lists all AC modifiers(From Pathfinder Core Rulebook)
  • Visual aid to show concealment(Mine)
  • Visual aid to show flanking

Pathfinder Combat Cheat Sheet

Depending on whether people use this, I am planning a sheet for the various types of actions(Free, swift, quick, etc) and their effects, and a sheet for magic and metamagic feats. Matter of fact, the magic one I’m doing anyway.

For the original D&D 3.0 version that inspired this, please go here. D&D Cheat Sheet

‘Me’ Game Character Creation
Oct 1st, 2009 by ambrose

I’ve always liked playing versions of myself, or myself, in games. I think it comes from a long standing desire to truly escape from the dullness of my sheltered childhood. I realize now that dullness beat the heck out of some of the adventures children in the world have, but I still appreciate a good ‘Me’ Game.

One problem that arises when creating a ‘Me’ game is the decision of how to assign ability scores. One or two resources to account for equivalent ability scores exist, especially for converting INT scores to IQ, multiple versions of which exist. The following table follows the school of thought that a ‘Me’ game should use ability scores that work equivalently with real-world measures. So, here’s the table I use now, appended with D&D ability score equivalents to the prevalence of that ability level.

Score STR(Bench Press) DEX(Reaction Time) CON(Illness’s Per Year) INT(IQ Score) WIS(Comparable Dumbest thing said or done in recent memory.) CHA(Comparable Friend Description of Social Status)
3(1/216) 15 .246 7 65 Put hand back on stove immediately after being burned. Offensive
4(1/53) 30 .240 70 Said “Maybe it isn’t hot anymore.” Off-Putting
5(1/20) 45 .233 75 Set fire to bits of paper on the stove. Devastatingly Awkward
6(1/10) 60 .227 6 80 Burned the ramen noodles. Hermit
7(1/5) 75 .220 85 Burned the potatoes. Not Sociable
8(1/3) 90 .213 5 90 Burned the bacon. Isolated
9(1/2) 105 .207 95 Left the stove on. Individualistic
10(1/1) 130 .200 4 100 Ate badly burned food.
11(1/2) 160 .193 105 Cut the ash from badly burned food. Well Liked
12(1/3) 190 .186 3 110 Didn’t burn the food. Popular
13(1/5) 220 .180 115 Made enough food for the person tagging along at the session. Universally well liked
14(1/10) 250 .173 2 120 Made enough food for the person tagging along at the session and moved the Xbox to the bedroom. Universally Popular
15(1/20) 280 .166 125 Made enough food for everyone. Trusted Advisor
16(1/53) 310 .160 130 Brought his own snack. Respected and Responsible
17(1/215) 340 .153 1 135 Ordered a pizza. Born Leader
18(1/216) 370 .146 0 140 Ate before showing up. Orator

AT&T Blocks 4chan
Jul 30th, 2009 by ambrose

Maybe I don’t approve of the methods employed by Anonymous, but the idea of the internet being the last bastion of free speech is one that is very real to me. As such, even though I don’t blog about politics anymore, I’d like people to see this and wonder about the day to day judgements that can start conflicts we are not ready for.
