    Pathfinder 1E Amethyst - Renaissance (Pathfinder) UPDATE

    A familiar question... Will you have Hero Lab support?

    New Thief For The party - Cleric Of Norberger

    I could easily argue the opposite. What you are describing implies that no evil society could possibly exist, hence... bad guys. In your world, they would never work in conjunction with one another. Working together for different goals is the very stuff of role playing. Any experienced...

    New Thief For The party - Cleric Of Norberger

    Naw.. He can kill JUST as well as the thief in combat. Channel SMITE is equivalent to a backstab. (A very holy activity for Norgorber I might add.) I'm playing Pathfinder not watching movies. The rules are clear. The symbol must be present. There are no verbal or somatic requirements. It...

    New Thief For The party - Cleric Of Norberger

    First: Many a thief\rogue has pilfered from the party. This is nothing new or unusual. In AD&D the richest guy in the party was the thief (well... mine anyways). Second: Robbing the party doesn't mean rooting through their packs. I usually quick grabbed stuff off the bodies or handed the...

    New Thief For The party - Cleric Of Norberger

    1) The players won't know. 2) No idea. As a player I'm not that evil or selfish. Likely, this guy is more like the thief of old. He'll steal from the group to get a ahead, and that is clearly in his interests. Norgorber loves killing, so again this guy will get to do some mass killing which...

    New Thief For The party - Cleric Of Norberger

    Herobizkit: I got this from the 'Faiths Of Corruption'. "A faith in Norgorber is necessarily a private one. Because you protect your identity, you do not show off your faith." In my case, this guy will be around Good Folk. The less they know, the better off he'll be. Anyways, here's a rough...

    New Thief For The party - Cleric Of Norberger

    Hey, thanks. Hmmm... I like the sword idea. I was thinking of getting a Consecrated Sword for Pharisma... But I could go Norgorber so of course it would be hidden... and of course it would be covered in Pharisma or Calistra symbols. B-) (You can toss half a smite into a consecrated...

    D&D 4E 4e's Equivalent to Pathfinder

    I think folks keep forgetting 4e's 3.5 OGL predecessor... its called Iron Heroes; Iron Heroes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It was also originally written by Mike Mearls. Players get 'lists' of feats that they grow as they go up in levels. This is much like 4e powers.

    D&D 4E 4e's Equivalent to Pathfinder

    I switched to Pathfinder because the pre-made materials were so good. But I prefer 4e. It was just too much work to make my own adventures or update third party materials. I did run the Death In Freeport series in 4e and it played beautifully. So... Back to OGLing it all... Easy. But many...

    New Thief For The party - Cleric Of Norberger

    I was thinking about this a tad more... Dhampyr (Bestiary 2) Cleric of Norgorber (Trickery and Knowledge)... Stat bonuses work well.. skills not so much (Cloistered Cleric is tempting). Negative Energy Affinity heals him when he Channels, like he's sucking the life out of the living. (That's...

    Undead Armys

    There is an excellent book by WOTC for 3.5 on Battlefield adventures in your campaign. If you want, its certainly a way to go. It discusses how to make the adventuring exciting, and how the goals can be integrated into the adventure. It may even offer some ideas on the types of activities you...

    New Thief For The party - Cleric Of Norberger

    Thanks... I hadn't thought of either Oracle or Inquisitor, but they definitely have an appeal. Umm... I'm really just interested in the Channeling of clerics. There is definitely something fun about melting the enemy, preferably on mass. As for limited weapon lists... you get your god's...

    What's your favorite edition of D&D (so far)?

    I've played since D&D. (I used to have the box with the chits.) I voted 1e... I think that what I liked was the simplicity of character creation. (I know... butt load of wierd rules.... just go with it.) I missed 3x, and came back for 4e. I am a 4e evangelist... but I've since moved on to...

    More new old stuff?

    I am optimistic. IMO if WOTC is going to 'compete with older editions' it should at least pay a little lip service to them and keep them in print. At the vary least they shouldn't be handing away that market. I noticed that over the 2010 Christmas Merls was talking about LOFP, which is a...

    New Thief For The party - Cleric Of Norberger

    Thinking a bit more... This design gets a bit stressed trying to be too much. Charisma, Wisdom, and Dexterity. He would kinda suck all the way around. So I'm think that perhaps Dexterity first, with Wisdom Second, and Charisma third would work better. Channeling damage outside of a Channel...

    New Thief For The party - Cleric Of Norberger

    I was thinking of running a thief, but really it would be a Cleric of Norberger. Human... Biggest Stat Charisma, next two, Wisdom, and Dexterity, intelligence if I dump stat strength. The idea is to deck him out as a thief, possibly with a buckler. He'd perhaps cover himself with Pharisma...

    D&D 4E Is PF combat any faster than 4e?

    I would expect more sinusoidal activity on that graph. You can always pull a fast combat off in the older editions. i.e. Fail Save... players execute bad guy. For me, 4e combats take 1 hour... but I only have 4 players. In 4e because of the tactical options in the game, and the chance your...

    D&D 4E Is Paizo ever going to shore up it's online support for Pathfinder like 4E does?

    I haven't done it in a long time. I did it to do a database extraction and then use Magic Card Editor, to create power cards, etc. If Wolflair is still selling the software then I bet you can still do the extraction. Otherwise their software is useless to 4e.
