As an alternative, you could always just carry around a sheet of lead.

According to Paizo, the Human bonus feat is worth 4. I think the problem Paizo is having here is the assumption that all PC races are equal in power, which is an assumption that Golden knew better than to make. +2 in a stat is massive, and is part of the reason why point buy scales up like...

To be fair, you can easily do Paragon stat adjustments in Golden's guide as well, though I do agree that Golden's stat adjustments are far more flexible and, with the exception of some awkward wording, better designed.

Well, the traits listed are mainly examples. Every DM I've interacted with has designed traits around the players. Personally, when I'm DMing I ask players to try and find one they like from the list, then I'll work with them to craft a second trait. That said, it's in the rules to only allow...

Stream, you missed one very important thing with Arcane Trickster: at 10 AT, Fireball sneak attacks EVERYTHING in range, assuming they're flat footed. Just thought I'd point that out.

I've noticed that a lot of people who take prestige classes usually do so with that PrC in mind from the beginning, so I don't think that predictability is that much of an issue for people looking at PrCs.

I don't think there is specifically, but there are a few templates floating around. You can probably use the 3.5e Umbral template from Libris Mortis. It turns the base creature into incorporeal undead with a strength damage touch attack, among other things.

Let's see, here's my opinion: The CRB introduces the core races and classes and all of the basic mechanics. Must Have, period. The APG steps out from under the WotC 3.5 umbrella with new classes and options for intermediate players. If your team is new, then this isn't really necessary, but...

The first thing I'd do is try to convince him to let you play a converted version of the class. I've looked in the past, and most comments that I've read that are interested in the conversion seem to agree that the classes are still good enough to be played in Pathfinder with minor changes to...

Systems that try desperately to cover every possibility. Of course, we all know about the horror of anal circumference (FATAL), but that's a very extreme example of the issue. I mean, not only is covering every possibility time consuming to read, but the subsystems have a tendency to be...

Well, the concept of players not taking PrCs doesn't confuse him anymore, just at first. Though I would like to point out that you're incorrect that the converted PrCs didn't get anything. In fact, most, if not all, of the ones that were converted were given some extra abilities in the...

Let's assume for the moment that it is metagaming. It's been made obvious that this is a player, not the DM, asking the question, so I have to ask (and I'm sorry if this has been answered, it's very possible I missed a few posts): What is the DM doing to punish the player? It's their job first...

Alternative favored class bonuses not being listed doesn't mean that you can't work with your DM to make one. For example, most discrete bonuses to the times an ability can be used are 1/2 per time you choose that bonus, so a 1/2 use bonus to a domain ability would work for an Aasimar Cleric...
