You can ask questions here if you missed the #RPGChat or if those questions gave you new ones. You can also ask on the Kickstarter itself if you're a backer. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/89095698/aethera-campaign-setting/comments We've seen a big upswing in backers in the last day, but...

As a contributor to this project, I'd like to thank those who are backing and sharing this project. We've picked up a lot of steam today since io9 published their interview with the guy at the helm of this project, Robert Brookes. Check it out...

Apologies for redundancy; please delete

I don't think it should be difficult to hit those numbers if you try to either get a good ability score or reasonably high-modifier magic weapon in the mix. What sort of builds have you been trying?

Tequila Sunrise has a point, and it would be smart to ask on the Paizo forums. If that doesn't work out, consider the monster guidelines from the Bestiary: Monster Creation These show what the minimums for monsters of that CR are. Interestingly, a PC's CR is pretty similar to his/her character...

Jargon is useful only insofar as it doesn't impede learning. The more intuitive the terms are, the quicker they can be learned. Therefore, as long as the goal is to attract players (which the D&D brand needs right now), it is smart for the designers to cut back on jargon. Precisely defining...

Dicefreaks D20 Community is proud to present the first PDF release of Songs of the Sidhe, our collection of material relating to Faerie, the realm of the fey courts, giant kingdoms, and other mysterious beings. This chapter features setting, ecology, culture, power groups, and gamemastering...

One thing worth noting about the firebreathing/firedancing is that it must be seen by those to be affected, rather than heard as bardic music is normally required to be. As currently written, bardic spellcasting (which is also a variation of magical music) always requires a verbal component...

She doesn't know all of them. She uses her familiar like a spellbook, and prepares spells that the familiar knows.

Dicefreaks is another forum community whose members have a fondness for planar work, grand projects, and more respect for (and skill at working with) epic than the members of most forums. Here's a link: Dicefreaks d20 Community • Index page As for the ghost, see the original Dicefreaks ghost...

That was my thought as well regarding 4e's fey. Personally, what I initially define fey by is their link to nature. But then, there's always room for interesting interpretations of just what "nature" encompasses... I can't believe I never saw this thread before. I intend to take a good hard...

I'm pretty happy with most of the changes put through in Pathfinder (an opinion I've found pretty common at my main forum hangout, Dicefreaks), but I'm really irked by their completely ignoring epic so far.

It's stylish, but I think it's a little strong. I'd say a duration of 1 round per 5 levels (max 5 rounds), so that it's only 15d6 total damage on a failed save and failed escape check for the first few levels the spell is available, and so that the power level scales up appropriate to a spell of...

I think the slime is closer to CR 1/3. It's reliably hit with firebolt before it goes down, and plausibly once more with either firebolt or slam after that. The limos looks a little vulnerable to magic for its CR, and a little low on hit points. I'd add another Hit Die or two to make it tough...

Thanks to suggestions from M-bark at the WotC forums and you guys here, I've made some changes. For the full list, see my edit note at the bottom of the original post.
