    Pathfinder 1E Strix Monk picking up a grappled enemy

    Not sure about which feats would best help out, but I do seem to recall that most creatures with flying, can't actually take off if they are carrying anything more than a light load. So that might have more of an impact on what you can get away with. An average Strix (STR 10) wouldn't be able...

    Advice on blowing 9000 GP's on a 5th Level Character gen?

    :) You know, I did actually consider that. But what would an Elven Ranger (follower of Mielikke) do with money in a bank, and a house to live in ("you mean like, inside!?")? :confused: :) When you sit down and calculate costs, it's truly staggering just how much money the average adventurer is...

    The New Premium Magic Item Compendium: Awesome or Nawsome?

    Amazon UK are still listing it as 'includes errata'.

    Pathfinder 1E Potion bottles....Skinny or Flask shaped?

    Sure, I can see how the sprue idea would actually work with the RAW, but for me it depends on the presumed technological understanding of the setting, ie. do they understand the concept behind mass production - it's a relatively new concept even for us in this century. I tend to imagine a more...

    Pathfinder 1E Adventure ideas for a group of first timers?

    Brand new role-players, who've never played any role-playing game, let alone D&D or PF? You might hate low level games, but they've never experienced it. You mustn't steal the experience of starting at 1st level from them. Perhaps you find the rules simple and intuitive (having played it at...

    Pathfinder 1E Potion bottles....Skinny or Flask shaped?

    This is interesting. I always read that spell as though it produced one single item per casting with the size limits specified (10cu ft or 1cu ft per level for minerals) from raw material. I never read it as allowing the mass producing of individual items. Maybe due to PC's that would have...

    The New Premium Magic Item Compendium: Awesome or Nawsome?

    The lack of fixed errata is shocking. I was under the impression that was the whole point of the 3.5 'Premium' line of reprints. I wonder how that happened?

    Does anybody still play d20 Modern/Future/Past/Apocalypse

    I think this put a lot of people off. Perfectly playable rules (mostly), but those class names and the attempt to make them 'generic' were a real stumbling block... :erm:

    how many classes is too many?

    If you're a game publisher, the more the merrier. Think of all those 'Complete ...' series books you can sell, and if you're a really greedy publisher, you could divide up all the classes and put them in three separate Players Handbooks.... :uhoh:

    Combat Mages vs. Vector Thrust Tanks

    I don't know what the latest edition has done to each archetype, but I do know that magic users got waaaaay out of control back in 3rd Ed. I watched as the game groups I played in went from one magic using character and five or six other non-magic users, to four or five magic users (including...

    GMs: How do you create a feeling of horror (in an heroic fantasy game)?

    Have the big bad nasty, kill maim or mutilate a friendly and valued NPC in front of the PC's. Preferably in such a way as to suggest, 'it could do that to you next'. Also, there is the old staple of just letting them find the victims and not actually getting to see the 'thing' that caused it...

    Miniatures and Role-playing games

    Using miniatures in a role-playing game is neither good nor bad, it's just a play style preference. Do what brings you and your fellow players the most fun and satisfaction.

    D&D 3E/3.5 Which DnD3E 'Premium' reprint would you like to see next?

    I should imagine that WotC must be seriously considering this as a possible candidate for release, it's so much an obvious choice for a Premium reprint. Maybe they are unsure of demand? :confused:

    D&D 3E/3.5 Which DnD3E 'Premium' reprint would you like to see next?

    It's a shame, but I don't imagine them ever reprinting this little lot. I can't imagine I'm the only one who could do with some replacement books. If they did, they might as well just relaunch 3rd edition. Hmmmm, Now there's an idea! :D

    D&D 3E/3.5 Which DnD3E 'Premium' reprint would you like to see next?

    I've been picking up the WotC DnD3.5E Premium reprints as they've been releasing them. The last one was the Magic Item Compendium, which was announced back in February (?) and was released just this month, but I don't see any new 'Premium' books listed for future publication. If they do anymore...

    How easy will it be to convert characters from the older editions?

    Is there a simple formula or crib sheet for converting older edition characters to the new rules?

    Combat Mages vs. Vector Thrust Tanks

    Well, that sounds like a promising step, but I guess it really comes down to the overall balance between Magic & Technology. The problem I have is that I came to Shadowrun from Cyberpunk, so I kind of lean toward the side of Technology when it comes to 'cyberpunky' games. Not that there is...

    Pathfinder 1E Best starting location in Golarion?

    I've been working on a Pathfinder campaign starting in Varisia, which seems like an ideal place to start off at, what with it having the three (mostly) independent city states of Korvosa, Riddleport and Magnimar. But am I missing a trick? Is there a better place to start off a campaign, what...

    Loaded Dice

    The next time you need to roll some d6's, borrow his set. In fact, if you can get the other players onboard, the next time anyone needs to roll d6's, borrow his set of dice for the rolls. See how that tickles his (and the GM's) fancy. It's just too weird. Why would anyone use loaded dice in...
