So, a skill that only goes up with proficiency in 5e, or with stat increases, is no different than skills in PF that you can just add points to? It would seem that the +5 from Dex would be far more important in 5e than in PF. It seems you do not agree with this, but it has been our experience...

To address each... *Races? Sure, not a problem. *Stats? Those line up exactly. Most of the people we have on our side don't agree. A 20 Dex goes a lot farther in 5e than it does in Pathfinder. At least in our opinion, a single +1 to anything can be a game changer in a party. That doesn't...

Good Afternoon, I did a quick search outside of this site, as well as within this site, and I was either blind to the answer or just couldn't find it. Is there a conversion guide from 5th ed D&D to Pathfinder? Some of my friends have been noticing that 5th ed is great for getting new players...

Impaling the thigh is non-lethal? So, can you hit normally anywhere beyond the vitals with lethal damage? -Wally

The Core Rulebook has very little to say about using lethal weapons to deal non-lethal damage. You can but with a -4 penalty. There are things that negate that penalty, but I am concerned more with the effect. If you are using a heavy pick to deal non-lethal damage, wouldn't that mean you are...

From my point of view, which I think is similar to others, a railroaded game is one which forces the characters into actions, which they either didn't/wouldn't choose, or were required to choose due to the removal of all other choices. I have played in games where the DM specifically told me...

Do you mean Benny Hinn? I cannot picture Benny Hill as an evangelical unless there is a lot of fabulously perverted jokes and some female dancers in the background. -wally

Dying Quote In one of our most recent games, a character who was dying pointed at one of his friends while saying his last words to another... "Tell his wife that I loved her!" We all laughed quite a bit over that one. -wally

That is why it is just a mild suggestion. There are those that would easily take it too far....Just my experience in reading here. :) -wally

Actually, the example I was originally quoting was from someone using a dragon minion as an example. Regarding number 2, I think they still include unarmed attacks as causing damage, if not, I guess I misread it. I also might suggest that you don't use the word real as someone may use that as...

Actually, it was in response to someone else's example of how to view the minion rules in game context. I don't think it has anything to do with bored players. If taken as written, you can attack with anything that can cause damage, and the minion will drop. This doesn't specify that the...

I didn't think the system said anywhere that the above was ridiculous. That would be the DM saying so, therefore it would flaunt the intention of the DM not the system. I am not commenting on the good or bad DMs out there, I am commenting on the rule as written, which is what many (as it...

Okay, my problem is that I looked at this from a different side. Say the dragon fought a group just a little less powerful than it. After a long combat, the dragon had taken a lot of damage, but won. Some of the damage was from being physically hit by weapons, which drew blood, some from...

I think Ahglock pretty much covered most of it. The idea is that there can be crossover if needed, and if you are in a party without a rogue, you can cover areas of needed expertise. The problem is that most say a wizard or sorcerer will always do so after a certain level, and I think the only...

Actually, you are right. The rogue isn't losing xp, so if the spellcaster makes enough, the rogue will probably end up being level(s) higher than previously mentioned spellcaster. Also, if the spellcaster was specifically trying to do my job, I may just take some ranks in pick pocket and take...
