    Apropos Reskinning

    Reading the threads about reskinning Clerics into Warlords, magical spells into nonmagical talents, and more, the following little scene just popped into my head. Posting it separately, so that it does not interfer with the serious(?) discussions. DM: ... Suddenly you see the red glow of a...

    Pathfinder 1E Eidolons and Cure Spells?

    I've seen a bunch of texts out on the Interwebtubes claiming that cure spells do not work on Eidolons. Reading the SRD, me and my GM can only find that natural healing, i.e, the one you get with a good nights sleep, does not work. So, where do people get this restriction from? I'm mostly just...

    How were you introduced to RPGs?

    In the "dominant system" thread, one reoccurring argument is that a dominant system is needed in order to have the clout to do mass-market advertising. My feeling has always been that RPGs have grown organically through word-of-mouth: friends introducing friends, finding a gaming club when you...

    Monk playtest: Is Unarmed Attack a weapon or an implement?

    "Animal Essence" rituals: Please help me rate them

    I absolutely loved the flavor of the "Bite of the Were-xxx" spells from the 3.5E spell compendium. This is an attempt to create something with the same flavour using 4E rituals, and I'd really appreciate some feedback, especially with regard to level placement and cost. Since attribute...

    Would YOU allow multiple picks of a 'Vancian' power?

    With Vancian magic, you could pick a spell several times to get multiple uses of it during one rest-to-rest period. Would you let players in your group do the same with their 'Vancian' (i.e., use once per time period) powers? For example, the group's rogue loves the Tumble per-encounter...

    What happens when the Defender dies?

    The sole Defender in the team has just died the final perma-death, and that character's player now wants to play something completely different, as is not too uncommon when a beloved character goes to the big ring-binder in the sky. What do you think happens then? How necessary will it be that...

    Any inherent conflict between per-encounter and per-day abilities?

    As I understand it, abilities (spells, combat maneuvers, etc) will have durations and frequencies such as "once per encounter, lasts one round" and "once per day, lasts an encounter".
