I'm currently in the process of converting a few of my 3.5 Clockworks over to the Pathfinder System (because it rocks) and asked Wolfgang if he minded if I shared them. He gave me a green light! So, without further adú...

Pushback Strike (Ex): As a full round attack, a Clockwork Felguard can strike a single enemy of medium or small size and push it back 10 feet. If the attack connects, the target may make a CMB roll (DC 15+dmg) to resist being pushed back.
Furious Charge (Ex): When charging, a Clockwork Felguard deals an extra 1d8 points of damage if it hits.
*I used the format we've been using in the OD tactics sections for this.
**One of the few things I liked from 4e was powers that were limited by encounter. I don't think it works for PCs, but I think it works wonders for NPCs and Monsters. Hence, some of my new monsters are getting special, once per encounter attacks. |

Good stuff. Two questions. Is the baton basically equivalent to a club? And what is CMB? (I feel I should know that, but I am not thinking today.  ) |

Yes, treat the baton as a club.
CMB is Combat Maneuver Bonus. It's a general formula used in Pathfinder to cover a lot of the old 3.5 rules for grappling, sundering, tripping, pushback, ect. The formula is:
CMB = Base attack bonus + Strength modifier + special
size modifier
Some feats allow you to use your Dex modifier instead of your Str. |

I had read the Alpha Test pdf (but not in an extreme depth) and liked what I saw...
Then I skimmed the Beta Test pdf and still liked what I saw...
And I have now purchased the Beta Playtest in dead tree version and love it. Still reading and digesting but loving it none the less.
My ONLY gripes so far...
1)This book was done in part because the 3.5 Core Books are now out of print and anyone wishing to continue in 3.5 Pathfinder would be unable to get core rule books to play... so if that is true... why didn't they convert the OGL monsters? I see no where that they intend to do a monster book. They do have a section telling how you can convert the monsters yourself (or not.. the game is backwards compatible). But a DM would need either a)a published adventure with the monsters in it b)access to the SRD c)a 3.5 MM or d)create their own monsters.
So... I love Pathfinder but think they should have (or should in the very near future) create a Pathfinder MM.
2)My second gripe has nothing to do with the rules... Please, for the sanity of the users, PLEASE put an Index into the back of the final version coming out next August! |

Thanks!!! I'm going to swipe these for my next game that is about to start: Ptolus with Pathfinder RPG rules with a heavier emphasis on clockwork/gear tech than in the Ptolus as published (i.e. Zobeck stuff thrown into Ptolus... going to toss those lovely crab diviners in for sure!!! And the religious situation in Ptolus means I can import all the Zobeck religious stuff without modification... so there will be TWO gear divinities in my Ptolus  )
Anyway, feel free to keep posting Pathfinder RPG conversions to your heart's content (assuming Wolfgang agrees)!

Hey, glad you liked them. Hope they play-tested well in your game!! I'm always open to feedback.
As to your questions above; I can only speculate.
I'm assuming that access to the SRD and hordes of 3.5 monsters hasn't made a Pathfinder MM a huge push on their end. I'm also assuming that the monsters they do release will continue to be part of their published adventures.
So, I think it would be safe to assume you'll see most of the monsters they introduce in the index of current and future adventures long before you see a Pathfinder MM.
Until then, you'll have to make do with fan-based stuff.

There's a Clockwork Creature template in the Advanced Bestiary
and you might find this thread over on paizo useful.

Ben,
Good info! Thanks for the link. For what it's worth, I've been toying around with a clockwork template, but it won't appear until late July! |

Thanks for the help!
Jaye, when you say "appear" what do you mean? Will you be submitting it as a Zobeck-related article here? I've got a "Modular Enhancements for Clockwork Specimen" article bouncing around in my head that I'd like to submit, but I would like for it to mesh with any existing crunch&fluff before I do so. |

Doompaladin,
My material won't appear untl late July because it's a seperate setting being released in then. It certainly will NOT conflict with any Zobeck related crunch!! If anything, Pathfinder players will hopefully find it enhances their games! |
