Oh... I didn't know that! Why in the world didn't the adventure give some background for this guy? Seems important, considering he created the four weapons! ​Anyway thanks for letting me know.

Sure!

I'm running it now and had to do lots of prepwork and research to get to where I'm comfortable. Here are some great resources I used: Reddit Discussion (https://www.reddit.com/r/dndnext/comments/36vwdy/princes_of_the_apocalypse_resources/)- Lots of great links. The top comment has a link to a...

Anyone out there currently running/playing (or even ran/played) Princes of the Apocalypse? How far are you? How is it going? What changes have you (the DM) made? My group just took out their second prophet. Let's compare notes!

<If you play in a monthly game that meets at Guardian Games in Portland, you're probably one of my players, and you should get out now> I goofed up during our last session and told the players the lost delegation took a detour to the Halls of the Hunting Axe, not Summit Hall, which I completely...

I like the idea of stealth-style infiltration where success largely depends on knocking out guards swiftly and quietly. With the normal rules, that's basically impossible unless all the enemies have less than 10 or so hit points, which means only in low-level games basically. It also just makes...

I need some feedback on an optional rule I'm considering implementing. It would allow someone (of any class) to knock out a surprised enemy. Knockout Blow: When you take the Knockout Blow action, you may bypass the hit points of your target by making a quick and unexpected attack. Select a...

I'm in a group at the moment and they're great people, but the commute is starting to get to me and I just want some fresh faces. Also, they don't like Savage Worlds. :( I usually GM, and would be happy to do that again. Like most gamers, "I like what I like" so here's what I'm looking for: •...

This summer my group is doing something called the "Summer of One-Shots" where we play 1 - 3 weeks of all kinds of different things, but when that's over I'm almost 100% sure they'll want to go back to Pathfinder and start another Adventure Path. And I'll probably be the DM. Since 3rd edition...

I really appreciate the feedback, which has pointed out some issues. Some of them I already knew going in and others hadn't really occurred to me. I want a system that is easy to calculate, easy to explain, and easy to implement. I don't mean to start a war here, but I'm one of those people...

Thanks everyone for your comments so far. Let me clarify a couple of points. First, I wasn't clear with my first post. I should have said one needs to roll whichever attribute is used for spellcasting, not just Intelligence -- so it could also be Charisma or Wisdom. Second, it does seem like...

Hello, new to these boards and just thought I'd start by mentioning an alternative Pathfinder magic system that's been kicking around in my head the last few days. It's supposed to be simple, easy, and quick. I'd love to know what people think. Quick and Dirty Magic System for Pathfinder/3.5...
