    Looking for short adventure in the mountains for a 5E 8th level party

    My party ended up in the middle of nowhere in the mountains at the end an adventure and I'd like to take them through a short interlude to give time for the events of the next one to get underway. What's a good short adventure I can use?

    Pathfinder 1E Is it possible to increase your AC vs non-movement AoO?

    Using Core Rules and APG, is it possible to increase your AC against attacks of opportunity provoked by things like combat maneuvers? (Aside from taking heaps of combat maneuver feats.)

    D&D 5E Can you see when you're Blinded?

    This may seem like a stupid question, but the rest of my group believes that you can see when you have the Blinded condition. Last night our rogue was blinded, but according to his interpretation of the rules, and in agreement with the rest of the table, he had no visual impairment and could...

    Pathfinder 1E How do you set DCs?

    D&D had a table of target DCs, with Easy, Moderate and Hard difficulties over a range of levels. Is there an equivalent somewhere for Pathfinder?

    Part of the local area that my 10th level PCs may be venturing into soon is a corrupted/diseased/sick forest. Do you know of any good adventures that I could plonk down the in the middle as the reason for the sickness?

    Pathfinder 1E Monster Multiple Attacks in a Standard Action?

    When a monster description like the Lion lists: "bite +12 (1d8+7 plus grab), 2 claws +13 (1d6+7)", do you need to use a full attack action to get the 2 claws? Or can you use both the claws and bite in a standard action? What about with a dragon? One attack with a standard action, 6 with a...

    Cover artist for Pathfinder and Dungeons & Dragons, Wayne Reynolds, does NOT do personal character portraits for individuals, but you can get one illustrated by him as described by you, as part of the Kickstarter I'm running. Here's the link...

    What are your "must haves" for a virtual tabletop?

    There are many virtual tabletops that have been around for ages, and some newer upstarts like Roll20 that have quickly become very popular. What is it that these new ones do in such a short period of time that makes them more appealing than the more mature products? What do they need to do to...

    Pathfinder 1E Concerned about the Rogue's Trap Spotter Talent

    In my game, the Rogue has recently got past 6th level and gained the Trap Spotter Talent, which means I need to make a Perception check automatically when he comes within 10ft of a trap. I'm a bit concerned about it and momentarily considered banning it because he never ever has to say again...

    There was one hanging around a while ago. Has anyone got a conversion for X2 Castle Amber to Pathfinder or 3.5?

    Pathfinder 1E X2 Castle Amber Conversion for Pathfinder?

    I'd like to run X2 Castle Amber for my Pathfinder group. I have borrowed a hard copy from a friend, but there's a lot of work to do to make it palatable in a Pathfinder game. Is there a conversion already out there, or does someone have some tips?

    Pathfinder 1E Does magic overcome silver damage reduction?

    I always thought that if you had a magic weapon, you could damage lycanthropes without any penalties, overcoming their damage reduction. I'm reading the rules now, and I don't see this at all, it seems like a non-silver magic weapon would still have its damage reduced. Which is it?

    Pathfinder 1E Looking for a low level drow party

    I'd like to put to together a low level drow party to use in my game, but I don't want to have to stat them all individually, as they're going to be PC fodder. Are there any resources out there that might have a group of drow that I could use?

    Pathfinder 1E Puzzle needed for opening door

    In an adventure I'm creating, I want to have a door that can only be opened by solving a puzzle, probably something to do with aligning symbols or moving blocks around. Does anyone know of a good place to get such a puzzle, a published adventure, or something else?

    Pathfinder 1E What catches fire with Burning Hands?

    In the Burning Hands description it says "Flammable materials burn if the flames touch them. . A character can extinguish burning items as a full-round action." Does this include creatures? My initial thought was that this only applied to unattended items. My players have interpreted this as...

    Pathfinder 1E Ideas for special properties for magic leather armour?

    My PCs have recently acquired some magic black studded leather armour from a goblin wererat. I'd like to give it a special property or ability, in addition to the usual +x, to make it more interesting. I don't want it to just be adding +whatever to something that they can already do. Have you...

    Clues to indicate secret door?

    I don't like letting my players have their characters automatically detect secret doors by say, having an elf just walk past them, but I'd like to provide some clues in the local area that they could pick up on to indicate to them that it would be worth investigating further. One of the maps...

    What can I use instead of kobolds, goblins & orcs?

    I'm starting a new campaign and I'd like to try something different than have the characters fighting the usual kobolds, goblins and orcs. Initially I tried to shake things up by getting the players to be the goblinoids, and be going against elves, humans etc, but they didn't go for that. What...

    How does BECMI initiative work in practice?

    When declaring actions, then rolling d6 to see who goes first, what do you do in the situation where what you said you'd do is no longer relevant? What if, you said you'd fire your bow at an orc, but by the time you have your turn, that orc has disappeared around a corner. This becomes more...

    Pathfinder 1E What are some good Pathfinder podcasts?

    It's been a long time since I played 3.5 and I'm starting my first Pathfinder campaign. I'm a little out of my depth trying to figure out what the tone of Pathfinder is, and what the gems and dregs of it are. Is there a good podcast or two that I can listen to, to get a bit of a jumpstart to...
