Hey all, I am thinking of taking up the brush after a long time away. I just checked my paints, and those that haven't separated have congealed. Thus, I need to restock, from scratch. Previously, I bought colors piecemeal, as needed, from whatever brands were on hand at my local shop. This...

So, my group is in the process of switching to PF from 3.5, and it's going okay so far, we're very pleased with the new ruleset. However, as I was looking at it from the point of view of a DM with a homebrew campaign setting, I was horrified at one of the changes. The spell identify no longer...

So, I'm thinking of running an AP, and I'd like to know what level the players should be when they reach the end. Specifically, I am considering The Curse of the Crimson Throne, Kingmaker, or Serpent's Skull.

What is the overall feeling about the mechanics in this book? Are there any similar mechanics optimized for PF? Would this book be easily adapted to PF (I would think so, since 3.5 and PF share many qualities)? I am looking for a way to give my players special weapons at an early level, as...

Hello all, I was wondering, is there any mechanic in the PF rules (core or peripheral) that addresses losing limbs? I mean, we all know of the peg leg pirate, or the hook handed pirate, or the pit fighter with a knife for a hand, but how did they get that way, within the rules? Even setting...

what else can I add to this: there was an adventuring wizard. he fell in love with a member of his party she was turned into a vampire he killed other party members to stop them from killing her? maybe?yes/no? he starts researching a way to cure vampirism: there isn’t one. he decides to...

Background: my homebrew world has no gnomes or dwarfs, but has halflings, humans, orcs, half-orcs and half-elves as PC races (elves are the villians). All races have homelands except halfings. They are generally mistrusted and often mistreated. I have a halfling cult leader who is trying to...

During one of the film montages that they showed on the Oscars (I don't remember which montage), they showed a clip of two men and a cockroach. The men looked to be wearing old Soviet army uniforms (the clip was in B&W). One man say something like "See that cockroach there? Tomorrow morning...

Okay, so I'm creating a homebrew world with no elves (because neither I nor several of my players like them) and no dwarves (same reason). I was writing up some descriptions of the human nations/kingdoms/cultures, using knowledge picked up in college and other places. Here is a brief...

Help me clarify something, please. If I have a character with an INT of 6, that's a -2 skill points. All characters are guaranteed at least 1 skill point. Now, if the character is a human, and they get a bonus skill point, a human with a 6 INT would have 2 skill points, right? So a human...

So, I rolled my stats for an upcoming campaign the other day, and I got these: 17, 14, 14, 12, 8, 6. After a few days of internal debate, I decided to make a fighter based on Jayne from Firefly/Serenity. What I need to know is, what are the two low stats? I think that low Int and Cha is the...

Okay, I just started watching this last week on SciFi, and I have some questions. I missed the first 10 minutes or so of each of the two episodes so far, so I don't know if the answers were given then, or not. Oh, and no spoilers please, if possible. 1) When does this series take place? 2)...

quick question: did the wealth per level amounts change from 3 to 3.5? I have to create a 6th level character and don't own a 3.5 DMG, and I can't seem to find this in the SRD. So, if anyone could tell me if the amounts are the same or give me the new amount, I would be very grateful. Tauric

And if so, how easy is it? My financial situation currently does not allow me to buy very many books, so I was thinking of using the SRD to supplement the older versions of the books for an upcoming campaign. I have the 3.5 PHB, and the 3.0 DMG and MM. Can I get by with using the SRD to fill...

Say I have a small town with a population of 1200 human adults. The DMG states that between 10-40% of the pop. are nonadults, depending on race. What would be the percentage? Also, how many buildings in this town? What kind of physical footprint does it have (square yards, meters, whatever)...

Okay, so on another post my "why homebrew" post I got some good advice about how to get players to accept changes to the established canon. One piece of adive, oft repeated, was do it gradually. Another was limit handouts, as players rarely read them. What I would like to know now, is how to...

As I was posting my question about making magic distinctive, I asked myself "Self, why even bother? The players either won't care, or complain." At least, those two reactions are what I have experience with homebrew campaigns. I tried to make a world where the different races had certain...

In my homebrew world that I am creating, I want to give sorcerers, bards, and clerics distinctive ways of casting (I am not having the wizard class in my campaign). I was thinking of making sorcery a tattoo based magic. Each spell is tattooed on the body, and to cast the spell the sorc must...

Hi, I tried a few months ago to find players in the Burlington region, but everybody's game was either full, or they were taking a break from playing. So, I am expanding my search for a game. Preferably the game would meet once or twice a month. I am willing to drive as far as Rutland or...

Hi, I'm new to the Burlington area (starting at UVM in fall), and I would like to play DnD (but I'm open to other RPGs). If you used to live here, could you tell me where the gaming store is? my email is ericshawn@mac.com Thanks, eric
