Shoot your questions anyway - there are a few of us lurking about who regularly play the system, we might be able to help.

I like these different defences - I've found them to be working well and my group has had no troubles with the rationale. I do tend to forget about DR when applying damage to my npcs though... Our first session with Radiance was a smooth and as efficient as our previous session of Pathfinder...

Ahhh, I hadn't read the Illusionist core ability properly... Is there a limit on the number of times you can use the Illusionist ability? I would assume you can only have one active at any one time. And therein lies some ideas for further abilities. Here's some ideas, though I haven't tried to...

I'd like the Illusionist to have something like Minor Prestidigation and Major Prestidigation. The Minor version being basically what 3.5/PF describes, the Major version expanding on this in terms of quantity and time.

Here's my attempt at a spreadsheet-based Character Sheet so far. https://www.dropbox.com/s/lgfc9xgafaork80/Radiance%20Character%20Sheet.xlsx I created it with a mind to printing it, so I am curious to hear how it looks on other people's computers and printers. Also looking for feedback...

My first reaction to the races in Radiance is "No way am I allowing all of those races." Now I realise that it is great that these options are in the free core book. (I hope WotC is reading this.) I'm writing notes for my Radiance campaign, and the new Radiance Masters Guide makes that easy...

"There is good in him. I have felt it." So he is redeemable, that's good. I feel that this needs an out of game solution, as it seems he doesn't care about in-game consequences. Perhaps he is bored or unhappy with his character - offer to let him change it. Primarily, though, he needs to know...

I tend to agree with him there. If I remember right, 3.5 under the Handle Animal skill said that you could use spells to help with training an animal, but more intelligent animals tend to resent that. PF doesn't say anything about using spells under Handle Animal. But that is not the point, and...

Let the metagamer know how you feel via email. It is easier on you, and ultimately he has to be told. We had a player whose character collected body parts - from our enemies, from graves, from other people's battles, wherever he could. The rest of us were really uncomfortable with it, but just...

There is likely to be 6 players: Bard, Cleric, Wizard, Rogue, Fighter, Monk. I'll scale it back a bit depending on who can't make it. There's even a chance that they will hit level 7 before I get to spring this ambush. Fortunately for the players the Villain only wants 2 ears as trophies, one...

Yeah, put it down to generous ability stats. 4d6 - drop the lowest, 7 times - drop the lowest, make sure you have at least one 17. I know one player has an equivalent of 37 point-buy.

Quick background, the players are all Halflings of a thieve's guild in a city of over two million people. Currently level 6, between 4 and 6 players, they work together well and wipe the floor with CR9 challenges. I'm hoping to give them something quite deadly. an NPC (Slayer, CR 8, all thses...

I've had a go at using Reach weapons, and can't see the advantage. You attack once at reach, then the opponent takes a 5' step to move in and attack you. You take a 5' step back to attack him, repeat ad nausem. There has to be a better use of these weapons, beyond adding Combat Reflexes.

When a PC fails a Will save or three (or more) when in combat with an Orc figment created from Minor Image, how do you handle the damage caused? I've been running Crypt of the Everflame with my kids, and two of them were 'killed' by the illusionary orcs. I chose to treat the damage as...
