I feel like Catapult was poorly treated in the guide. Since the flight path can originate from darn near anywhere, nothing says you can't use it to drill another wizard on the other side of a wall of force or similar barrier if you want to try and concentration check them for cheap. The...

Funny, that isn't what Paizo said when asked about if feedback on layout was useful. They even stated that there will be at least one survey on the layout of the document itself. Are you sure your thoughts are not what is utterly irrelevant here?

The issue with spelling everything out in gory detail is that I suspect the in house playtesters don't actually play it that way. My money is they 'know how it works' and are then shocked when everyone gets angry over paladins or other martial oriented divine casters trying to cast spells per...

Ability scores don't appear to be well explained, or are not explained where it is obvious. Having a table listing the overhead press, dead lift, and drag for strength scores was really important for a strong character to do something strength related. Without that information the player and...

There was some new info so I updated the first post. Next week Privateer Press will be showing a preview of the combat system as well on their site's blog.

I'm going to apologize for stomping all over you here, but I think you said something that does need a bit of stomping on. It sounds good (because who is against 'excellence'), but it is realistically a fairly pernicious trap. The productivity tanking minutia of cross-referencing rules...

You are entitled to your opinion, and you are encouraged to discuss it at ENworld. However, you are not entitled to engage in namecalling and rude language. Please feel free to restate it in a more mature fashion. -Eridanis

If he was pushing an agenda of "bring back 3E, because 3E is D&D" instead of "make a good game without worrying what it is or isn't", then he could very well have been that one guy fighting to make something the 3E faction of edition warriors want vs all the other guys wanting the opposite...

I finally managed to get my hands on a copy of No Quarter 40 (Privateer Press' bi-monthly magazine). It has an article with some more details. The first book will let you play Humans, Gobbers, Trollbloods, Rhulfolk (dwarves), Iosans (elves), and Nyss (frost elves). Even though the first book...

Well, one of the bullet points is that everyone can be on a comparable level of a warcaster. The other thing is that while a warcaster is super awesome, some joe blow line trooper charging in and catching a warcaster off guard can take the warcaster out. When potshots start flying in their...

New Info: I figured I would update this post as there have been some new pieces of information about the Iron Kingdoms Roleplaying Game. I've been playing their table top game for years, so I'm pretty excited to see them make a serious go at doing an RPG. 1) The first book should be out at...

I really like the seer theme based on the free encounter power. I don't know how good it will be in terms of power level, but I think it really hits the nail on the head in terms of representing a seer theme. The seer will know what a player is going to roll before they roll it. A player is...

Apparently the traveler's insight feat can give you an insight bonus equal to the number of languages known. Talk about a big bonus.

Make it a fairly cheap wondrous item. Maybe one that was allowed to have some fairly liberal interpretations of interactions with mage hand.

The mechanics of a mark is supposed to represent the concept of a defender being something that isn't easily ignored. I think it should pretty much be taken at face value in that regard. I would say that across the board that creatures would be aware of "being marked", be it a fighter in their...
