It's a good thought but the GM's kinda new, and her players are newer, so I'm trying to avoid asking her for special exceptions.

tl;dr - Battle Sorcerer removes some already limited spell options, but I'm not really focused on spells anyway. What would you do? Hey all, I'm trying to optimize a character around using as many of the game's luck options as I can (and trying to use magic that seems "lucky" in one way or...

The loss of spell levels is likely. Theoretically, I could invest a whopping three feats into the prerequisites instead of taking a level of Crusader or Swordsage, but that seems like an even bigger investment, almost. Ignoring that, the class itself has two lost levels, just like Elemental...

Wisdom isn't high enough to truly benefit (at least not without a serious rebuilding of things). However, I'm considering taking it anyway; there might be some fun to taking enough alternate features and specialized abilities that I just naturally get two versions of Burning Hands before I even...

Thanks! I'd forgotten Fiery Spell. I'm torn between prestige classes like Elemental Savant and the Divine Wizard ACF I'm going with that gives me the domain power of the Fire domain (took me a while to locate it, but I've finally got the book that it's in.) On the one hand, I'd love turning...

I was thinking about that the other day; not only do I exclude certain Pathfinder and many third-party products, I *also* wind up excluding some things that 3.5 did after leaving 3rd edition behind. (They cut back on things you could make with Brew Potion, and I just didn't like that, for...

Honestly, Pathfinder sort of... well, it codifies playstyles that before had sort of been bad habits, and it felt like it detracted from the magic of the game world. Stacking up numbers was not only easier in Pathfinder, but it was more necessary. For example, take poor Bardic Knowledge...

Yeah, I'm curious about this too. I've seen an episode of Friendship Is Magic, and while the show isn't for me I can't really get the big negative reaction that it inspires. I probably wouldn't want to play such a game myself, but I can totally understand why people might want to roleplay in a...

Wasn't Chuubo's Marvelous Wish-Granting Engine built for the kinds of stories you get in My Little Pony?

tl;dr - So, I want to just pile on as much raw fire as I can. Any suggestions for fire, both mechanically and flavor-wise, that I might've missed? Full version: So, a friend is running a game and her players have asked me to please, please show up with a wizard to play since they've been...

I heartily agree, me hearty... workin' at a radio station as I do, I played a proper shanty o'er th' airwaves t'spread th' fun.

Okay, so I read about Chuubo's and was hooked from the start. I bought the book and I've been pouring through it. It looks like a great game, but I was wondering if anyone has any experiences with getting games going with groups (especially groups who are more geared toward 'traditional' games...
