    Pathfinder 2E Is this character legal, effective and cool?

    Thanks on ability boosts! I misread that as only two boosts at levels divisible by five. For skills (and Int 0) I had Fey Lore from the background, Acrobatics from Swashbuckler, Diplomacy from Wit, and 4 more (Athletics, Society, Stealth, Survival). If I am wrong I can drop survival - that...

    Pathfinder 2E Is this character legal, effective and cool?

    I am trying to get my head around pathfinder 2e and with the player’s core book 2 (and 1) am trying to put together a character map from levels 1 to 20. Sorry for the messy formatting. I guess I was hoping for answers to three questions: 1. Is this character legal? 2. Is this character...

    AD&D 1E How do you play an illusionist?

    I like the idea of 1st Ed illusionists. Never got to play a high level one. One tip would be not to tell people you are an illusionist if possible. If the stats are there (int and dex 17+), then dual-classing assassin then illusionist is one way to go “deep cover” and avoid the...

    7th Sea 1e: Steward vs. Seneschal

    There is a merchant skill’s basic knack called Steward (to make money from this one would need a merchant guild membership) and a servant skill’s advanced knack called seneschal (which doesn’t on paper seem to add more to the servant’s ability income but seems to be a prestigious position for a...

    RPG Evolution: The Immortals

    One DM deifies the character (or in one case an expy of a retired player) as minor gods in his setting of long standing.

    D&D General Kobold Press Going Down a Dark Road

    If Paizo had put out “Printed 3.5 core books are going away so people will need to use a new version” back when they were putting out the Pathfinder 1e Core Rules in print and wotc was publishing 4th edition in print (though I think still selling digital versions of 3.5 books), would that not be...

    D&D 5E (2014) Let’s build a setting: World of Wrestling Acolytes!

    Now that the 5.1 srd is protected via cc, I was wondering what a minimalist setting would be like. Imagine a world with only the pantheons listed in the srd, one that is so dominated by religion that all PCs begin as acolytes. One where grappling is highly emphasized and made a point of pride...

    Weekend Nonsense: Favorite Bad RPG

    I nominate 7th Sea 1st edition. Not just that Roll and Keep is not my favourite way of doing things, but with the multiplication of skills and especially knacks, which are not part of the "keep", there is a systemic problem with the game. Sorcery is expensive and usually not worth it, as are...

    D&D 3.x Edition Experience - Did/Do you Play 3rd Edtion D&D? How Was/Is it?

    Currently in a long 3.5 campaign, running from 1st to 20th. Most stuff allowed (no BoED, no BoVD, no Bo9S), some house rules. But I got to play a Sapphire Heirarch, which was thematically cool (they are a pro-lawful alignment prestige class that use divine magic and magic of incarnum). It is...

    D&D 3.x What was the original intended function of the 3rd edition phb classes?

    Fair enough. I will edit my original question to focus more on the intended original function of the classes.
