This totally works! I'm in the industry (sort of) so I can order this stuff without cost being much of an issue. I have so mant other PF books but I must have gotten into it after the publication of the revised ed of the Inner Sea World Guide and Map Folio. I can resolve this by the end of the...

Ok Guys, I'm not on EN World much but you guys have been awesome every time I've come around. I've been running a Pathfinder Homebrew for about a year and due to my gig (comic shop owner) I have access to Pathfinder RPG stuff as it becomes available, for not much on the cash end. I'm finding...

Are you at least short? There are many rules in D&D. Rule - If you game with your Significant Other, do not play out some odd fantasy about having the hots for some other chick. That's just not right. Save that for drunking fumbling about after all the gamers leave...

Well that's just it. I've been using this house rule for 4 years and I've found it to not be unbalancing. The armor choices vary as well. The DEX to hit doesn't penalize someone for wearing heavier armor. One group were specically told that their characters came from a "Low Man" sort of...

To me they don't just look like robots, they look like bil ol Ghost in the Shell robots. That's why folks fall on the "They don't belong" camp. I think anything can be used in a fantasy context and still be good if done well, like psionics or martial arts. There are fictional representations...

Why is that a problem? Dude clearly has a house rule. Can he not have a little Dwarf Blood? We all know we are curious as to how that works.... Anyone can bag a hot elf maiden but...ok...I lie...not anyone, but you know what I mean. Dwarf chicks man! WHAT!

I agree that swinging a heavy bar would require some amount of STR but honestly, it's not STR that allows you to do this effectively, I'd argue that that is a function of CON. Any guyb swinging a big heavy bar probaly has a decent CON so it really makes no difference. Training and Practice are...

Dude. Why would a 4 STR having guy bother with a Greatsword unless he also has a 4 WIS? By the rules, as they currently stand, it would make more sense for a guy with a 4 STR and an 18 DEX to either stay home and run track or become a Wizard....depending. I use DEX as a measure of how fast or...

STR being Offensive and DEX being Defensive is actually not something that effect game balance. I'm using a sample size of 12 players in one group of certain temperments and styles and 9 players in a completely different group with different temperments and styles. The only real common factor...

I like everything right up until there are actual super natural consequences to being a half elf. Remember all that damage was done in the dark ages (and in the 1700s) because folks just THOUGHT a witch was in town. I'd use the power of superstition and coincidence to bring about the same...

Ok look, (Still in disbelief that this is a conversation about web being too powerful or ruining the fun of combat) The only time my PC have ever had to whip out Web is when they were flat out being swarmed on by superior numbers or singular opposition. It's not normally the first spell...

There are smart enough guys in my games that these things never became issues. No one ever argues about a reliance on one stat or another. We HAD a guy like that once but...well...no one has seen him for a while... Generally at size large or greater I have creatures use STR, unless it's a Storm...

I have a house rule that I'm sure other folks have as well. I don't use STR as a factor in combar for anything other than DMG bonus. Basically it's DEX to Hit and as an AC bonus. I use it as a way to play up the high adventure angle of a moderate magic game. I have found that my players...

Whooo Hoooo!!! 30+ posts and I have actually contributed something useful! Now I can hit the pro wrestling boards and see if I can make them think about the "Long Emergency" while they ponder why RAW sucked!

I have seen that. I'd be curious as towhat that's like in actual play. Does this mean that if taken 3 times it's giving +3 HP per HD and if so, how many other feats has the player passed on?
