Overall I do not think this will affect casters that much. As was stated above the high ability score is more important for spell DC and bonus spells. This would allow a fighter or thief to more easily pick up a level dip or two to cast spells if they wanted. (I can think of a few characters...

For the Oracle of Heavens the Awesome Display mystery lets Color Spray works on creatures much better as you subtract your CHA modifier from their HD. So by the time your are level six and have a CHA some where around 20~24 you you can affect things with HD any where from 1 HD to as much as 12...

Bards got a lot of love in the APG. They are really much better then they were in 3E. That is probably in no small part due to James Jacobs is a fan of the class (based upon my impression of his comments and posts) so it gets lots of attention in the in house playtests.

We use them every now and then. They serve a couple of purposes. 1. If you ever have a player that always tries to describe some elaborate action in combat, these cards give them a limited way to try and do that without letting them do it all the time. It is up to the player trying to spend...

Why are you hittin' yourself?!?! Stop hittin yourself! Shesh. ;)

You always round down but have a minimum of 1. The minimum of 1 is common in many areas of the book.

Basically this is an expansion due to a campaign setting with more then one planet. Greater teleport in core is not designed for a game with more then one planet. There is a lot of discussion on the Paizo forums about this from the devs. Basically if you hate this new spell, then leave it...

Basically set it up as a caster level check or spell resistance of the environment. (Just like you have to when casting fireball underwater) Let the players know that in your world some locations make it hard to cast some spells. You can use this rule in many locations when you want to make...

We use the rule and it works well. We do have one house rule however. If you fail a save and your magic items may get toasted we allow every player to select one item that is "safe" from risk. This does not mean a targeted attack such as Sunder, Disarm, or Steal is not allowed to target the...

You also need to keep in mind that BAB plays into the CMD. So you have built in increases right there that is not present in AC. For most classes and in most cases hitting a CMD is pretty hard to do over all. Monks are very good at tripping, but they will still find many bad guys that they...

Also, I think historically Pearls were considered more valuable then Diamonds from Egypt to the middle ages. They still have a lot of wealth and probably have an easier time of it then other mining nations that sell precious stones. Aside from that you could make pearls a key ingredient in...

Our group of seven players all have a copy of Hero lab and it works great. They have a fairly good community that will help answer questions and you can set a lot of house rules and custom items. I would certainly recommend it. (We actually all have netbooks and run the program live for each...

Yes, they have added some templates to allow a quick and dirty increase or decrease on a monster. They have Young, Giant, Advanced, Fiendish, and Celestial as quick templates to apply to any creature. They also have more advanced rules for adding levels, hit dice, etc to properly level up a...

Bard is always a solid choice when you are looking to "round out" a party. Aside from that have you thought about trying any of the new classes from the APG? Since the more traditional classes are taken care of it could be a good time to try out a witch, alchemist, or maybe oracle. All of...

Here is the blurb from the website. Nothing specific but I would think it would have some new magic items. Ultimate Magic includes: New player character options for all 14 spellcasting Pathfinder RPG base classes, including alchemist discoveries and bombs, specific bard performances...

Yup, the Pathfinder Wiki is one of the web sites along with the d20pfsrd that were up for Ennie awards. I voted for both of them as they have lots of good info.

You can also find a very complete list here. Just scroll down and look at the grouping on the right side. The left side has alternate search and viewing options.

Nothing wrong with that at all. You can cast healing spells without breaking invisibility... so you can cast Mass Cure Light Wounds. Channel is no different then that. I would say selective channel does not even have to be there as when you heal the bad guys it is still not an attack...

I would say first and foremost, Pathfinder is still 3.5 gaming. It has a lot of rules like 3.5 but it does a great job of cleaning up some of the issues. I love the skill simplification, changes to feats and spells for the most part, and the CMB/CMD is a nice mechanic to bring many things...

All of the Power Word spells have always been much weaker then any other similar spell. The "no save so suck it up" is very powerful. Also, it is vocal only so you can cast it in just about any condition except for silence. However, the swift action house rule would be a great idea in my...
