Arcanist is a hybrid class that blends wizard and sorcerer, both arcane classes. Has anyone created a hybrid class that blends both arcane and divine spell casting?

Our party just leveled up to 11th last night, and our druid wanted to take the leadership feat. Her goal is to attract a level 7 cohort, not an NPC but a CR=7 creature. RAW states that it is generally (meaning not always) an NPC with class levels. Has anyone ever been in a game where CR was...

I posted the below elsewhere, and would like to ask what rules that players still find broken in Pathfinder. For me, I picked the Improved Familiar feat (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/improved-familiar), and from this list...

I plan on running the Against the Giants series and afterward the Descent into the Depths of the Earth series, both in Pathfinder. I had both played and DMed them in AD&D. I ran Against the Giants in 3.5 edition and it went very well, but did not attempt Descent into the Depths of the Earth. In...

My theosophist cleric is 11th level, and is a scholar of the undead. My alignment is lawful neutral and I principally channel positive energy, but do have versatile channel. Assuming that I have acquire the knowledge, can a cleric become a lich? Can my phylactery be a structure rather than a...

One of my players wanted to run a fighter/cleric multi-class, but we really did not like how those to classes combine. I suggested that we try an eldritch knight, but with the cleric spell list. Does this seem reasonable, and if so which companion abilities would you suggest for third, seventh...

Can a fighter with no spellcasting classes cast a spell from a scroll? The DMG (p139) says that "Any creature that can understand a written language can read the arcane script on a scroll and attempt to activate it." The scroll mishap table (DMG, p140) says that "A creature who tries and fails...

Rapiers (2 lbs) and scimitars (3 lbs) are finesse and light weapons. A longsword (3 lbs) is versatile, can it also be considered a light weapon when wielded with one hand? What about a battleaxe (4 lbs)? While using an attack action to grapple, can I only attack to do combat damage if I have a...

In my old AD&D and 2e games, we used to role for stats, and that lasted into 3e. At some point we went to the buy-in system, mostly because too many people were showing up with old characters that had really great stats. We eventually settled with the standard 20 point buy-in, starting with all...

Half-Halfling vs. Sporc (Sprite/Orc), Final Round (One Day Only!)

I haven't seen any rules on this, so my group has been using the following 'house interpretation'. When a high-level arcane caster casts Shapechange, they can assume whatever shape they wish at the stated HD limit. The HD or LA of the new shape have no effect on the caster's level or HD...

Yesterday I just bought the Pathfinder Core Rulebook from my local game store for $50. I also wanted to buy the PDF for $10, but the proprietor told me that game stores could not get it, and I would have to buy it on line. I went to the Piazo site, but it appears that I could only buy the PDF...

I could be wrong, and I often am. I believe that the change from 3.5E to 4.0E was the biggest change, and others say the change from 2.0E to 3.0 (or 3.5E) were bigger. I would like to use this thread as a civil, fact based discussion of rule changes from any edition to the next edition, and how...

Shadow Form (Warlock Utility 10) and Insubstantiality For the shadow form power and other powers that grant insubstantiality, does being insubstantial do anything more than allow you to only take half damage? Is there any stealth advantage to being insubstantial? Can an insubstantial creature...

Please cite some examples from your experiences where the DM was taken by surprise by the actions of the characters (and left dumbfounded and temporally defeated), whether you were a player or the DM. Back when we were playing second edition (with optional skills and powers), we had six to...

Forked from: Hybrid classes (4e playtest) I have never created a 4.0E multi-class character, nor are there in any of the games I've played in. How does multi-classing work, and how will it be different from a hybrid-class? ==================================================================...

What do other DMs and players intend to do with old Delve Nights characters? My plan is to ask the players' permissions to use them as NPCs in an ongoing campaign located in the new Forgotten Realms campaign setting. This has the benefit of giving the players an ownership stake and built in...

Despite my 06 strength, as an eladrin I felt that I had to carry a longsword. After all, it was in my blood. I never cared to own one, but as I left home for the first time to make my fortune as an adventurer, I needed to have one because for an eladrin not to have one would have brought...

Does anyone have a link to where I can find a text version of 4.0 character powers? I will be running a local Delve Night campaign, and I would like to have this on my laptop. Thank you.

Hi All, Per the advice of Kerrick, I am posting this here rater than [http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/253710-3-5-4-0-hybrid-system-feedback-requested.html ]. I have been gaming since 1980, and had played AD&D, 2nd ed, 3.5 ed (passed 3.0), and now 4.0. Also worth noting is...
