    Houserules to Introduce More Dynamic Combat?

    Appart from this being more suitable in another threat I have never had difficulties with Stealth and Perception (or Spot/Listen/Hide/MS)

    Arcane Thesis dilemma

    Well, picture this, a Sorcerer with much the same build that you had but instead of magic missile he throws lesser orbs of cold (with a quickended true strike form a wand, yes it is possible). On top of that he has cone of cold with Arcane thesis, Piercing Cold (no cold resistance and those who...

    Houserules to Introduce More Dynamic Combat?

    I recognize the problem of the boring turn taking and swinging. But as a GM myself, i must admit that when that happends, it is usually my own lack of inspiration. The GM can make combat more dynamic by playing the opponents more dynamic. That forces the player to follow them and adept to their...

    Brainless fun

    One of the characters in my group plays a human Oracle with Int 4, Wis 10 and Cha 24 (or something that high). He has some far away orc heritage and he plays him like an intelligent primate who can talk (who wants to fight, eats, sleep and :):):):)). It is pretty fun, although the player...

    Arcane Thesis dilemma

    My point exactly. So what would a reasonable solution be? To allow up to two +1 metamagic feats to be ignored and 'pay' for the rest?

    Arcane Thesis dilemma

    Alright, so a character has Arcane Thesis feat (PH2) applied for his Cone of Cold spell. Is he allowed to freely apply any metamagic feat with a +1 adjustment and still cast it as a level 5 (e.g. sculpt, still, flash frost etc all for +0) or would the total adjustment be lowered by 1 (sculpt and...

    I have an idea for an adventure

    I was thinking it would actually be fun to play a certain scenario over and over again, each time with increasingly less subtle differences in order to be able to complete the scenario/save whatever. This would also be a great metagame challenge for the players, who obviously have more knowledge...

    Hero Points?

    My first experience with Hero Points (HP) was in the form of Action Points (AP) (from Unearthed Arcana still in 3.5 time) which are basically the same. I like to see the Hero/Action Points as tools for players to make sure they succeed at a critical moment or extraordinary action, not so much as...

    Empowered Channeling Feat

    Hey there I was wandering if there is a way to increase the amount energy channeled by expanding additional uses per day? How about this feat: Empowered Channeling By expending an additional channel energy use per day you can channel 1.5 times the normal amount of energy. Any other ideas for...

    D&D 3E/3.5 3.5e Splatbook Characters in Pathfinder

    I recently switched to pathfinder, but refuse to throw away all the 3.5 material. So far it works well. We have a Ninja in the party who isn't objecting (IMHO they were a little overpowered anyway in 3.5) and a rogue/swashbuckler. I think the classes in the splatbooks gain more abilities as...

    Halfling Domain Powers

    I recently started playing Pathfinder and converted our ongoing Forgotten Realms Campaign. My character is a Halfling Cleric of Brandobaris (god of rogues) and could take the Halfling Domain. You guys have any ideas for granted powers, especially the one you get at level 6 or 8?

    Playing music while playing a RPG

    I’m curious if you have experience with music while playing a RPG (like D&D or Pathfinder). Do you ever play ambient background music to enhance the game? Would there be a site or company that makes/composes these types of tracks? And if not, would you be willing to buy music tracks that are...

    Tome of Secrets

    I actually like the random advanture generator. It forces you to think out of your own box while having to be creative and come up with an adventure background.

    Fun with carpets of flying

    The game I'm playing in is an arabian urban rogue/scoundrel campaign (set in Calimshan, Forgotten Realms). So, our group had a dramatic and cinematic fight with a wizard, who tried to flee on his carpet of flying. One player (a rogue) tried to grapple with him while he was taking off and my...
