There's a new Combat Maneuver called Dirty Trick in the Advanced Player's Guide, this would probably cover the chili powder thing. The rule uses an example of kicking sand into an opponent's face to blind him for 1 round, or pulling down his pants to halve his speed, or hitting a foe in a...

Seems to me that this may be a way of moving back toward certain races favoring specific classes, as was done with favored classes in 3.5 vs the generic "+1 HP / SP" in PFRPG. I'm personally fine with that, and agree that some options for some races taking levels in particular classes will be...

Just wanted to leave a vote for keeping the Strong, Fast, etc base classes. I liked the flexibility of mixing and matching these to create different character types, with Advanced Classes filling the specialization void.

During the playtest there were many vocal critics of both a favored class mechanical benefit and enforcing racial archetypes by defining favored class choices for each race. The 'Adventurers' section of the racial descriptions for Dwarves, Elves, and Gnomes includes suggestions for typical...

I'd go with this one or the mini-tentacle that just gives you reach for touch spells.

I'd love if the app could include the PRD content (if not the actual Pathfinder ruleset), as well as a feature that would keep track of the encounters faced per session (or even remember them over an entire adventure) and calculate XP per character. Also, it would be cool if it could remember...

You'll probably get the best idea how different Pathfinder is from 3.5 by reading through the Pathfinder Conversion Guide, which you can download here. That gives a lot of good info about how various elements of the game are updated, including a fairly detailed races and classes section for...

There are several people in the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Preview Performance # 7 The Bard messageboard thread discussing this change to Bardic Music. Jason's most recent comment about it is:

Or maybe display the results in several views, such as total votes, community supporter v. not, etc.

One way to tone down reserve feats if you think they're overpowered might be to limit them to a number of uses per day equal to the ability score bonus for the character's ability tied to his or her spellcasting (WIS for clerics, CHA for sorcs, etc.). Although that's extra book-keeping, so you...

I currently work as a web developer, building online applications, and I agree with the original poster that the IT planning for something like this needs to be completed well in advance. Whatever the reason actually is behind not putting out much in the way of solid information, if they have...

Ditto. I, too, am skeptical about digital content replacing the magazines we already know and are accustomed to, and the lack of many concrete details doesn't help. However, I totally appreciate the interaction we're starting to get here and at the WotC boards with Scott and other WotC staff...

If (and I do mean if) the new whatever the heck it's called did all of this, as well as the stuff in the original "D&D Insider" listing, and the content was customizable (i.e., collecting/arranging/tagging whatever content you want in whatever and as many collections as you liked), and your...

I thought that was really strange too. I'd almost rather the reality was "we didn't expect this" instead of "we expected to just wait it out" - which is how it sounds now, to me. ps, it's also kinda funny that (edit: someone with a user name of) CaptainChaos is making a point supporting...

Disappointing, of course, but I do think it helps quite a lot that we're now seeing official WotC representation on the boards here and elsewhere. Just feeling like we're being listened to by TPTB and that our concerns are being considered goes a long way, at least for me. I think a lot of...

They can't really tell us when the forums will return. But they'll be really cool when they're back! WotC insiders have seen the new forums, and while they can't tell us much about them yet (for business reasons), they can guarantee we'll love them ;)

IIRC, the last issue (September) of each magazine ships in August, just four months away. Also, there was no "event" promoted around the cancellation, just a press release and, later, a handful of developers reminiscing over the magazines. Add to that a conspicuous lack of response on WotC's...

I totally agree. They could have announced the end of Dungeon and Dragon well in advance, say a year or so, along with the "we want Paizo to have the spotlight for now" announcement. Then they could have launched the "Final year of Dungeon and Dragon - and wow, is it going to be a good one!"...

Yes, thanks! Hopefully this will help give a clear sense of the information people feel has been missing during all of this.

Bingo. It's just not as much fun staying up till the wee hours of the morning, in bed, reading your ... laptop. The sound of the page turning is as much a part of the experience as anything else :D I'm also very curious about how the online content is going to be formatted. There've been...
