    New to Seattle seeking RPG game

    Just moved to Seattle for a tech job and looking for a gaming group. My favorite system is pathfinder and my favorite class is bard. I like the role of buffer. I've played many many other systems. I'm in my 30s and have been playing since being a teenager. I'm living in first hill without...

    Order of the Stick 859: Smoked

    Not to mention one of my favorite bard tricks Elan could buff Holy Word with an Inspire Greatness.

    Help me Kill a PC

    There is more than one way to kill somebody. I suggest construct a situation where the PC chooses between adulation and death. The precursor of this setup is the PCs get hired in a series of events that make them famous in the town. The first event could be to rescue a young doe eyed girl who...

    Class ideas for an Ender of Days in a high powered campaign.

    The suggestions to date were all about making the entity overtly powerful. I'm not sure if this should be in the rules forum or in plots and places since it looks like staking anything together goes. What about a small waif girl with doe eyes who wanders through the woods oblivious. She can...

    Looking for monster and terrain inspiration

    This is such an excellent old school idea. The first edition monster manuals are just littered with these kind of things. I.E. the desert has camel-men, the forest has squirrel-men, etc. I'll definitely create at least one customized humanoid race.

    Looking for monster and terrain inspiration

    It is a good idea but I've failed to provide enough back story. The war was between a despotic half-demon prince’s kingdom and a loose coalition of the usual suspects of elves, dwarves, humans, halflings, and gnomes. The war itself took place 1000 odd years ago and a truce was brokered between...

    Looking for monster and terrain inspiration

    I’ve been slowly working on a big environmental campaign off and on for a couple years. The campaign features a recently opened big stretch of land that was a 1000 plus year DMZ between warring nations. I’ve realized I keep returning to the same tried and true monsters orcs, kobolds, giants...

    Honoring Pit Traps

    I'm a big fan of putting a secret door at the bottom of a covered pit trap at mid-levels. Make the DC low so the PCs can discover it. Either the PCs feel smug because they avoided the trap or are rewarded for searching the bottom of the pit trap. Another favorite of mine is to use impaled...

    Beer Goggles: this spell alters how the recipient perceives others. All members of the alternate sex receive a +4 charisma competency bonus with any interactions. The recipient of the spell must be willing. Tiny bubbles: This spell carbonates any beverage. Magic alarm: this spell can be cast...

    Brainless fun

    I go a different way usually. Wisdom is the perfect dump stat for me because I think once you realize your character by 3rd level has enough gold to live comfortably for the rest of their life and yet you still continues to adventure something must be wrong. Plus I like creating overly...

    I have an idea for an adventure

    Another possibility is to use a mechanic as demonstrated in Eureka were some of the damage experienced in one loop was carried into the next loop. If it is a high level campaign each loop iteration could add a negative level to each character thus ensuring the need to end the loops relatively...

    1001 minor traits for magic swords

    214) Sword of mending: after slicing through armor or clothing on a hit, this sword mends the clothing or armor after exiting the wound. 215) Poniard of Balance: this dagger is supernaturally balanced to stand point down. Wielders of the poniard are conveyed a +1 competency bonus on...

    1001 minor traits for magic swords

    206) Night life: this blade literally has a night life. Every day at dusk it fades away and reappears at dawn. Sometimes the blade is covered in green blood when it returns. It has been theorized that somebody somewhere has a day blade and uses the same blade during the night. 207)...

    Pregenerated level 7 characters

    Thank you for considering helping. I'm an old D&D 3.5 hand but this is my first pathfinder game so I'm trying to keep everything simple. I'd prefer the base classes and races. I'm using the 15 point buy system. As to the format, anything I can print and hand to a character. To give...

    How many character classes do you need, anyway?

    I voted 3 - for buffer, meat shield, and DPS & crowds for cleric, fighter, and magic user respectively. I personally like a whole lot more but the question was phrased need...

    Thoughts on non-adventurer spells

    Repel mosquito - repels only mosquito and flies Purge foul odor - makes an area smell clean Shrink gut - fit into your old clothes Change money - changes gold, silver, or copper to an equivalent amount of another kind of coin Heat tea - heats your tea kettle Start Fire - a simple trick that...

    Items for a Bard Cleric

    Pipes of the sewers are personal favorite and the rats can be used for any number of tasks. For a non-core item, how about a hymnal of praise which casts Inspirational Boost 2 times a day.

    Fishing for Ideas

    The goal of this test is to only grant the hammer onto those who put the clan above self or are too dangerous to deny the hammer. The setup is the elders of the clan in a long winded speech talk about the ritual of clan chief StormChaser. The player is told, the ritual consists of a...
